No estimate could be learned from
Manager Madden and Rubin tonight as
to how much they would stand losers,
but it was estimated that Manager
Brady would be out about $4,000 on ac-
count of the engagements he had can
celled for Jeffries and the expenses he
has incurred here during the past two
months in preparation.
The deficit of the Saengerfest board was
over $66, 900 and it has been increased by
the forfeit and other expenses incurred
for the fight so that the deficit now will
exceed $4,000,

PROMOTERS DISCOURAGED.

The promoters of the Jeffries-Ruhlin
fight, scheduled for this city, Feb. -
are disconnected and discouraged tonight
on account of what is considered an I'll i
matum from Gov. Nash that the fight
cannot take place in Ohio.
The news from Gov. Nash and from
the meeting of the Saengerfest Athletic
club soon reached the training quarters
of Jeffries, on Prince Hill, where he is
engaged with Delaney, Jack Jeffries, Bob
Egan, Bob Armstrong and others in pre-
Earring for the fight, and it caused con-
sternation there, as well as at the coun-
try club where Rubin, Madden, Ed

contest. Frank Childs, who is booked
for ten-round fight with Denver Ed

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 2-Altho,,eh
the mayor of Cincinnati has issued a
permit for a ten-round bout between
Chllds and Martin an da twenty-ro11rd
pout between Jeffries and Rubin in this
city on Feb. Is it is evident now that the
events cannot be pulled off without com
ing In conflict with the whole power Of
me state as well as with the opposing
elements in this city Mayor Fleisch
lnann has persistently refused permits
LOT local tights or boxing contests of any
Klnd, but In sympathy with the old
Saengerfest association he promised a
permit for their benefit on Feb. Is and
kept his word Notwithstanding the or,n
in opposition. 1t is not believed Mayor
Fleischmann will so any further than he
has in issuing the permit. He will not
use the police of the city to protect
the fight in the event of opposition of his
excellency. The brother of Mayor
Fleischmann is on Gov Nash's staff,
and both Fleischmann brothers are close
friends of the governor personally and
politically. George B. Cox, the Repub-
lican leader in this city, has been OPP
posed to the fight from the start on po-
litical grounds, and other Republican
leaders, including the senior Ohio scna-
tor, have been opposing the event under
a Republican city administration, SO
that the great political forces have been
against the prize fight, while the COM
niercial interests generally and all those
in sympathy with the Saengerfest board
generally have been in favor of it, simply
for the sake of relieving the Saeng erfest
association from a deficit Despite all
the developments here and at Columbus
10 official action toward declaring the
fight off will be taken by the Saengerfest
Athletic club until the test case is heard
before Judge HOLSTER next Tuesday.
GOV. NASH DETERMINED.
Gov. Nash today telegraphed from Co
lumbus to the directors of the Saenger-
fest Athletic associa ion al Cincinnati
that the Ruhlin-Jeffries fight cannot be
held in Ohio.
INTERVIEWED AT COLUMBUS.
Gov. Nash refused absolutely to dis
cGss his notice to the Saengerfest Ath-
letic club. He said that events wodld
speak for themselves. There is soma
speculation as to how far the governor
can go in preventing the fight The mat
ter has been fully investigated by the
attorney general, but he refuses to dis
cuss it, Some go as far as to say the
governor will call out the militia to pre-
vent the fight A question has been
raised as to the authority of the governor
to call out the militia, except upon the
request of the local authorities. 1t has
been the custom for the governor to or
der troops upon upon demaLd If the
sheriff of the county where the troops
are needed Sheriffs have the power,
however, to call out the militia within
