PUNXsUTAwNEY, Aug. 10.-At 8 o'clock
tonight the adjourned conference OF the
Twenty-frst Congressional district con-
vened here, The organization is the same.
w. D. Patterson, of Armstrong, is Chair
man, and ]. o. Edelbute, of Jefferson, Sec
and then an adjournment was ordered till
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Colonel Huff and w. c. Bond were the
candidates receiving the highest number Of
votes. The same conferees are here that
attended the Kiskiminetas conference.
The four candidates are making hard fight
for the nomination, but it is now the opin-
ion that selection can be made without
appealing to the State Committee.
Since the deadlock at Salisbury there
have been some changes in the situation
which cannot help bring about satisfac-
tory ending. The conference is likely to
last several days, but break is then look ed
for, and when it is once made the nomina-
tion will follow shortly.
Captain James S. Nesbit, the Indiana
county candidate, has a goodly number of
They will battle to give the old soldier
call
Hard Fights ON Every Hand.
D. B. Heiner, of Armstrong, comes to
Punxsutawney unattended, save tor his
three confereea He is going to make q
hard fight, and claims that he should have
the office, as his county has not had rep
resentative for % years or more. W. c.
Bond, the Jefferson man, 10 in reality at
home, and every one in the town is putting
in good word for him.
Colonel George F. Huff, of Westmore-
land, the districts present Congressman,
came to PunKsutawney with q band of a
dozen or more lieutenants They are West
moreland eounty's best men and will GER
tainly make their wishes felt. The Colonel
at least as good as any one in the field.
The impression is that when the break is
made it will be toward Mr.. Huff. Indiana
and Jefferson counties are in the same Sena-
torial district, and this year they have
State Senator to elect. The candidates are
Captain James Mitchell, of Jefferson, and
Hon. M. G. Watson. of Indiana A month
or so ago the first co ,ference was held. It
proved a failure, and about two weeks ago
another was held, but it was less fruitful
than the first. It caused more or less hard
feeling in the district.
Left to Fight Olt the Battle.
The two candidates went to PHILADELPHIA
last week, and asked the State Committee
to act. That body refused and sent them
back home to fight it out At the present
time the third and in all probability the
last conference is being held in Brookville
The conferees are balloting without coming
near result 1t is understood that this
will be kept up until the Congressional
conference shows what it intends to do, as
some people think the one depends upon
the other
1t is said the State Committee is q trife
the more friendly to Mr.. Mitchell, and,
even though it refused to take hand in the
matter, is quietly looking out for his inter-
ests It he receives the nomination,
damper will be drawn on Mr.. Bonds Con-
gressional prospects. The county cannot
expect to get the two Offices.
