HEARST CAN'T
WIN IN OHIO
Convention, Which Meets To-day at
Columbus, Two to One
Against Him.
PARKER'S NAME NOT MENTIONED
Those in Control Split in Favor of Kill
bourne and HarmOn-TOm Johnson
Loses Grip-J. R. MeLean's
Hand.

Columbus, Ohio, May 24.-The prelimi-
nary meetings today of the Democratic
State convention which will convene here
tomorrow, demonstrated that the conser-
yatives were in control, two to one, in op-
position to Hearst, but divided among
themselves on presidential preferences for
James Kilbourne, of Columbus, and Judge
Harmon, of Cincinnati. These prelimi-
nary skirmishes aso demonstrated that
neither "the old guard" known as the
conservative, nor the "Hearst- Bryan-John-
son" men, known as the radicals, had a
leader.
Mayor johnson, of Cleveland, who has
been the recognized leader in bis party in
Ohio for the past two years, was today un-
able to control the votes of the two State
committeeman from his own city, whom
he had put on the committee one year
ago. and the same was true of other MEM
bers of the State central committee whom
be had selected.
While there was no leader on the ground,
there was much comment tonight that the
old following of John R, Mclean was
again in control. MIR. Mclean had pre-
yiously declined to allow bis name used
for either district delegate or delegate at
large, and be was said to be out of poll
tics, but now he is expected to succeed
himself as Ohio member Of the Democratic
national committee, and be factor at the
st. Louis convention.
The old State Central Committee was IN
session all afternoon after passing on con-
tests by committees. Tie settlement o.
Mayor Johnson's case from Cleveland wal
second on the call, and the Johnson dele
gates we're seated unanimously. The hrsI
contest was that of Clermont county
where the vote of 13 to 8 against sh'
Hearst delegation was considered tes

the contest between the conservatives anC
raOlCalb. 1uSI6 was siOo"
after the third vote of the State committe'
which seated the Hearst delegation o
Franklin county by a vote of 10 afhrma
tive, 8 negative and 8 not voting Frank
lin constitutes the Twelfth district, and
the home of Col. James Kilbourne, WIT
mas been doomed as the Ohio favorlt
against Hearst. The Bernard, or anti
Hearst delegates from Cincinnati wer
seated 19 to 7. If the 70 votes OF Cuya
hoga county, headed by Mayor johnson
cooperate with the radicals, it will max
three districts that the radicals secured Il
; the temporary contests. while the con
; servatives secured six.
The conservatives carried thirteen 9
C the tweuty.one districts for members
the new State Central Committee. Ih
radicals have representatives on thes
t committees only from six districts, ID
E two Cleveland districts being classed
e doubtful.

UNCLE SAM

We Haven't Got a Monopoly Of Man.
Churian Trade, Says Our Consul.
CHINA is STRONGEST COMPETITOR

CHINA is STRONGEST COMPETITOR

Washington, May % "A long and in
terestIng report on American trade in
Manchuria has just been received at the
State Department from United States
Consul General Henry B. Miller, at New
Chwang, China.
Mr.. Miller says it is a mistake to at
tribute the growth of Manchurian trade to
the building of the Russian railway as the
bulk of the produce is hauled in carts
which compete with the railroads in a
haul of 400 miles or more.
at is erroneous to think the United
States has a monopoly OF the Manchurian
trade or that there Is no successful COM
petitor," says the consul, "as there are
four active sources of competition each
striving for a stronger hold on the trade,
and the contest is 80 close that the varia-
tions in the value between gold and silver
have determining influence thereon"
The product of the handlooms of China,
known as nankeens, made from The yarns
produced IN the various cotton mills Of
China rom native and foreign cotton is
the strongest competitor.
Mr.. Miller adds that the growth in the
trade of United States cotton goods in
Manchuris represents the greatest expan'
.;ov, sc krodo ;o Tho orianf ond kho vooI
1903 proves 10 have been the largest in its
history. There is reason to believe thai
/ considerable more than is shown came
into this country through the ports o.
Dalny and Port Arthur and the schedule
of imports forwarded by Mr.. Miller to the
department shows that the United States
has almost entire foreign trade IN cotton
cloth passing through New Chwang.
One other great competitor and the un
known quantity is the competition Of Rus
sian cotton goods. "In prints" says Mr.
Miller, 81 have reason to think it is con-
siderable, and in Northern Manchuria
with Harbin az center / am told by the
managers of the Russo-Chinese bank thai
Russian drills and sheeting are driving ou
the United States goods. These Russian
goods come into the country via. Dalny
Port Arthur and Vladivostok without
duty, and we have no means of ascertain
ing their value"

GREAT BATTLE DIsCREDITED.

St. Petersburg, May 24.-6 p. m.-The
report, cabled to the Associated Press yes
terday, that the foreign Office had received
telegram from the Russian consul at
Chefoo reporting that the japanese had
made a land attack on Port Arthur and
had lost 10 900 men killed or wounded,
and that the Russians had lost 5000 men
is true, but, as nothing confirmatory has
been received from any other source the
report is not given credence. The consul
in his telegram said his information was
obtained from Chinese. The War Office
has nothing to confirm this report.
