HILLS FRAUD CRY
AROUSES HIS FOES
Alleged Retirement from Politics
Forced After Speech Against
President.
Former Senator Defers Retirement
Till After Election to Aid
Parker.
BY w. w. Iern,ane.


New York, Aug. 31.-David B. Hill g
speech at the Binghampton fair, in
which he denounced the president as a
fraud, - has furnished an opening for
a renewed attack on him by those ele-
ments within the democratic party
which have never been satisfied with
his sn4 LEADERSHIP e" sh It is significant that
that attack, which promises to be bitter
and far reaching, Hill announces that
he will retire from public life after the
first Of the year.
That announcement is not convinc-
ing. It is probably made with view
to saving Judge Parker from harm, for
Hill really is fond of Parker, and wants
elected president. The The only method n i Of Of
removal of the Hill handicap that
would not humiliate Hill is that which
Hill has adopted.
# 1t were not for Hills Endorsement,
it is. likely that Stanchield would be
toriial nomination, after Lamont. AS it
is, leading democrats all over the state,
personally friendly to Stanchfeld, are
coming ON 2! out against him BECAUSE
says. editorially that If stanchfeld is
nominated, it will not hesitate to do it's
duty GL,, meaning that it viii oppose h him
would initiate against Judge Parker,
who could not carry the state under the
conditions which would develop under
Hills leadership. So the only thing
Hill can do is to say that he will retire:
The date is set beyond election day. IF
Parker should be elected president
there would be many ways Of convinc-
ing Hill that his with rawal had been
made prematurely, and that the best in
terests Of the party demanded that he
continue at his post.

Judge John A. Lovely will accept
the democratic nomination for judge

done so and is careful about expressing

his talk today showed his intention.
Several of his friends called today to
tender their congratulations. He said
to them:

Hoping for the Best.

Local democrats are not inclined to
accept Mr.. Lind's refusal as final. He
will return in week or ten days, and
the disposition is to let the matter rest
until that time. If he still refuses, the
state central committee will have to
fill the vacancy.
"I think Mr.. Lind may be brought
to see the matter in a different light,
said J. r. Corriigan. AT least, ! should
be in favor of taking no action till he
returns and sees the situation. When
he understands it, think he may con,

last Saturday are not the conditions

JEFFRIES VS.. MONROE.

The most stirring event OF the week IN
nstiana will be the bout between Jeffries
and Munroe.
A few short months ago this match
would have been scoffed at by the
sporting world. but since Munroe's ba tile
against Tom sharkey in Philadelphia. the
eyes OF the followers OF pugilism have
been opened and now some OF the most
conservative OF the students OF boxing are
willing TO concede the miner a chance
against the champion.
Just how much OF a chance the con-
queror OF Al Limerick has against the
huge Jerries is a probematical matter.
Before Munroe appeared in public every
one admitted that he was a strong.
husky chap. possessed OF wallop and
almost unlimited endurance. but no one
ever figured him as championship pos
sibility.
Then came the talk about Munroe's
ability. He was first seen in the cast
against Peter Maher in Philadelphia, and
