QUAY Goes TO HARRISBURG
The Hastings Leaders 10 Philadelphia
Arc Visibly Encouraged.
LEhIGH SAFE FOR GILKESON
The Quay Sides profrss BIustcr Has Not
Blinded Shrewd Observers 70 tho
Evident Fact That senator
Quay Is Beaten.

Philadelphia. Aug. 22.--Since yester-
days convention Republican politics
have Quieted down in Philadelphia, as
both of the contestantsare busy figuring
on their possible delegates in the state
convention and claiming that they will
win. AS each side is as positive as the
other in its claims Of victory, and as
many elements of uncertainty are
working beneath the surface. no posi-
tive prediction OF who will win the
battle can be made at this time.
When the forces of both sides are
mustered at Harrisburg on Wednes-
day next there promises to be battle
royal, and one desertion from either
side may be sufficient to create panic
in the ranks and cause stampede one
way or the other. Much will undoubt-
edly depend on the personnel or the
committee on credentials and the side
that shows majority in the committee
will have a big advantage. The quay
people talk as II they expect to control
the credentials committee, but they
may find they have counted their
chickens before they are Matched.
On the surface Quay certainly ap-
pears to have the advantage and to be
rea easonably sure of victory, but the posi-
tive way in which the Hastings lead
ers talk seem to indicate that they may
have knowledge that many Of the unin-
structive delegates will be with them.
Senator Quay left here today for Har-
.isburg, where he will open headquar-
ters and remain until after the conven-
tiOn.

MURDER SEASON HERE.
University OF Pennsylvania Foot BaII
Schedule iins Been Arranged.


Schedule iias Been Arranged.
Philadelphia. Aug. 22.-The foot bali
schedule of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania for the coming season has been
arranged. All but three game will be
played on Franklin field, Pennsyl-
vania's Athletic grounds.
No game has been arranged with
Princeton or IL likely to be unless over
lures should come from the Tigers, in
which case Pennsylvania would prob
ably meet their old foe, as two dates are
still open. The games away from home
are with Harvard. the Pittsburg Ath-
letic club at Pittsburg, and the Cres-
cent Athletic club, at Brooklyn. The
hard games Of the season will be with
Harvard, Cornell. University OF Vir-
ginia and the University Of Michigan.
The game with the latter college has
not been positively arranged but the
negotia tions under way will In all
probability result In the westerners
meeting Pennsylvania.
Yale h no longer considered In max
ing up any Of Pennsylvania athletic
schedules, as the New Haven men. for
reasons they consider sufficient, have
refued to contest with the Quakers
Pennsylvania will have hard task
on it's hands to repeat It's performance
of last year In beating Harvard and
Cornell, as they play the Crimson on
Saturday, Nov. %, and five days later
on. Thanksgiving Day, they meet the
sturdy boys from Ithaca. Five days
is but short time to recover from the
effects of a hard game such as the one
with Harvard is sure to be.

Allentown. Pa. Aug. 22.-The nomi-
mating primaries in Lehish county were
held tonight. Candidates for both the
Quay and Hastings side were nominat-
ed in every one of the siXty-six dis
tricts of the county. There was much
excitement at many Of the polls. The
primary elections will take place tomor-
row night and the heaviest vote In the
pa,ty's history is expected. Sentiment
is so evenly divided that 1t will be i'm
possible to tell who has won until the
elections are over tomorrow night. The
Hastings people have the better organi-
zation and this may win for them.

REYBURN WILL BE OPPOSED,
The Old Time Republican Leader. Nc.
Names, VIII Fight Him.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Some excite
ment was stirred up tonight when 1t
became known that James McManes
would became candidate against Con-
gressman John e. Reyburn for the
nomination a year from now in the
Fourth congressional district.
A decade or So ago Mr.. McManes was
the undisputed Republican leader Of
Philadelphia, ami he was well
known i'm national politics as
well. but younger men arose and
wrested his command from him, and Of
late years Mr.. McManes has not been
much of factor in local politics. He
Is Quay man and lives in a district
that went for Quay at Tuesdays pri-
maries, and this, no doubt has encour-
aged him to make the battle against
Mr.. Reyburn.
