 This telegram conveyed to Ashley Cocke's brother the information that Justice White of the United States su- preme court had refused to grant a stay of execution and to entertain the appeal from the supreme court of Mis- sissippi MT. Dean had gone on to see Justice White in his behalf. and the friends of Cooke in this state in the meantime were bringing every pressure possible to bear upon the governor in

BELKNAP IN THE LEAD
KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS WILL
 MEET TODAY.
John W. Yerkes is Looking After the Interests of Roosevelt and the President Probably Will
 Be Endorsed.

Louisville, Ky, July 1l-On account of the fierce struggle between two Louisville candidates for Governor. the Republican State Convention, which will be opened in Louisville tomorrow afternoon. promises to be a thoroughly exciting one. Already the hotels have begun to fill up with the delegates, the full representations amount ing to 2.270 votes in the convention.
 The situation in the race for Governor has apparently reached a phase where the nomination of a dark horse will fol- low the failure of the Belknap forces to win on the first two ballots.
 There are three avowed candidates in the feld-Col. Morris B. Belknap, Louis vile wholesale merchant; Hon. Augustus E. Wilson, Louisville lawyer. and Judge Clifton J. Prat. State Atorney-General.
 The Belknap leaders are claiming the nomination of their candidate on the first ballot his strength being estimated at from 800 to 1,200 votes.
 The State Central Committee met to- night and selected Major William c. Owens to act as temporary chairman. John W. Yerkes has been offered the per- manent chairmanship, but 1t Is under stood that he desires to head the Commit tee on Resolutions in order that Roose- velt's interests may be looked after.
 There is an element. fairly respectable in numbers. which opposes an endorse ment of the Presidents candidacy at this time. but as it Is part of the Belknap strength. it is not believed that the anti administration men will Jeopardize the chances of their candidate for Governor by opposing Roosevelt resolutions.
 The resolutions insofar as they concern the tariff and trust questions will be of the stand pat" flavor. the sentiment in this regard being practically unanimous.

 sion of Congress.
HE TIME IS NDEFNITH

Washington. July H.-It seems to be general understanding among officials of the War Department who ought to know that the name of Robert Shaw Oliver who has just been appointed Assistant secre- tary of War will be favorably considered for Secretary of War when Secretary Root retires from the cabinet It has been known for some time that on ths completion of certain important matters which Secretary Root has in hand. he in tends to return to New York to resume the practice of law
 Just when this might happen has been. and Is still, very indefinite. Secretary Root will sail for England the last Of August. to take his place as chairman Of the American Commission in tAe Alaskan boundary case. It Is understood that he will continue as Secretary of War during the time he is abroad. Tn case the affairs which have been under his special charge and in which he is very much interested are still unsettled when. he shall return to this country, 1t is ex- pected that e will continue as Secretary of War.
 There are other considerations which may prolong his stay as member of the cabinet until after the next session of Congress shall adjourn. The fact that lia is familiar with everything pertaining ka Philippine affair, with the administration in Cuba, and with the management of al military matters snce the Spanish Ameri. can war. all of which subjects may be considered by the next Congress, may cause him to continue until then in hfa present position.
