PROSPECTS FOR A ROW.
The Peoples Party in Kansas May Have
Trouble.

Topeka, May 26.-Tnere are pros
poets for a foe row in the peoples par
ty ranks in this state. John F. Willitts,
the noted leader and national lecturer
of the farmers alliance. has been side
tracked by those he has considered his
friends here, and he is very angry and
threatens dire vengeance. Before he
went away his name was prominently
mentioned in connection with the head
of the state ticket but during his alb
sence friends OF other candi-
dates have been busy circulating
reports that Willitts did not
want the gubernatorial nomination.
The result IS that he was shelved in
favor of other aspirants. Today Mr..
Willitts returned and when he learned
how he had been betrayed there was
hurried consultation Of the people, :
party leaders, but with what result
cannot now be learned. Mr.. WIllitts
refuses to disclose his plans, but if be
does not get the nomination big split
in the party may result.

NEW YoRx, May 26.-The New York
members of the state provisional CON-
mlttee are much pleased with the re-
suit OF yesterdays primaries in this
city, and the reports from the country
conventions throughout the state ex-
coed their expectations. These reports
from the county leaders show q larger
enrolment and vote At the primaries
than any CT the calculations made .
month ago provided for. 4. Eliery
Anderson said today tha. ne considered
tie vote in the city representative
one. To get out more than 10000 men
to vote at q primary in May he
regarded as = manifestation of . deep
current Of feeling in favor of the end
which led to tho calling OF the pri-
mares. Mr.. Anderson denied abso-
Iutely the dispatch from Washington
published in some OF the morning news
papers to the effect that the Syracuse
convention would not send delega-
ton TO the Chicago convention, but
would merely send . protest in the
shape OF resolutions. There is no
foundation for that report" added
Mr.. Anderson. "The state committee
has never swerved particle from the
purpose to send q delegation TO chi
eago and TO demand in the name Of fhs
democrats OF New York proper recognl-
ton from the national convention.
We shall present the name of our can
didatr, declaring our belief that he is
the choise OF the majority of the
democrats Of this state. We shall 90

Iasve to be the best for. the democracy

Colonel Robert Monroe and Wallace
Mcfarland, expressed opinions similar
10 tnose Of Mr.. Anderson, and it was
pointed out that 1t was q sufficient
comment on the Hill boomers that the
Washington dispatches say that the Hill
democrats were greatly delighted al
