ELKINS is AFTER TOGA

PHILADELPHIA, June Prior to
going to the State capital this after
noon to confer with Governor Penny
packer on the vacancy created by the
death of Senator Quay, United States
Senator Penrose and State Insurance
Commissioner Israel w. Durham held
numerous meetings with local and
State leaders on the situation. Before
leaving the city Penrose and Durham
reiterated their statements of yeSter-
day that no one had been agreed upon
for the place and that no announce
ment could be looked for for several
days.
Senator Penrose has been looked
upon as a State leader since the death
of Senator Quay, and the naming of
the new Senator is practically in his
hands Western Pennsylvania will be
given the place. and there is a warm
contest between Allegheny County, in.
which Ptthtsburg is situated, and In
diana County. EX-Attorney General
John P. Elkin of Indiana County, who
was defeated for the gubernatoriaI

CRAY'S WISHES
DISRECARDED
Delaware Democrats, Despite
Stand of Jurist, Send Dele
CATION Instructed for Him
KENNY IN OPPOSITION
Action Is Taken After One
of StOrmieSt Conventions
Ever Held in the State

DOVER. Del. June CONTRARY to
the expressed wish of Judge George
Gray. the Delaware Democratic State
Convention by a unanimous vote to-
day instructed its delegates TO the st.
Louis Convention to present the name
of Judge Cray to the convention as the
choice Of the Delaware Democracy for
the Presidency and TO work for his
nomination. This action was taken
after one of the most stormy conven-
tions ever held in the State. The leader
Of the opposition TO the Gray nomina-
ton was former United States Senator
Kenny, who was opposed to the word
instruct" He offered a resolution that
the delegates be requested" to place
Judge Gray's name before the National
Convention.
The fight between the Gray and the
anti-Gray factions became so bitter
that the former paid no attention to
Judge Gray's letter in which he asked
that the delegates be not instructed.
They fought to defeat Kenny and
would not listen to anything that his
supporters offered. Judge Gray's letter
expressed his great anxiety for har-
mony in the Democratic party this
year. and held that the Democratic
National Convention should be left free
TO select as the candidate for Aesident
the strongest and most available man.
He therefore requested that the dele
gates selected TO represent Delaware
Democrats at St. Louis be not bound
by instructions.

Attempted Assassination of

CALHOUN is ARRESTED
BrOther-in-Law of Captain
DOnovant Charged With
Assault to Commit Murder
Special Dispatch to The Call.

EAGLE LAKE, Texas, June 7.-Ex-
citement is running very high here over
the attempted assassination Of W. NJ.
Elderidge, the vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Cane Belt Rail-
road. which occurred here last evening.
The wound which Elderidge received
in the right lung is giving him much
trouble and there is small chance for
his recovery. He is displaying splen-
did nerve and determination and his
physicians say they may pull him
through. The Winchester rifle bullet
passed entirely through his body.
As soon as the news of the tragedy
became known friends of the wounded
man began to come into tiwn.
w. E. Calhoun of Gainesville. Texas,
who was arrested and charged with the
crime shortly after the shooting, still
refuses to make a statement. 1t is
known, however, that the attempt TO
kill Elderidge was due to the feud
which was started two years ago by
the killing of Captain William Dono-
want by Elderidge. Captain Donovant
was one of the wealthiest sugar plant
ers in the South. He was associated
with Elderidge in a number of bust
ness enterprises. Troubles arose be-
tween them and Donovant is alleged
to have threatened TO kill Elderidge on
sight
Elderidge came face to face with
Donovant on a railway train and be-
fore the latter could draw his pistol
Elderidge fired and killed him. He was
acquitted upon trial. Since that time
Elderidge's life has been threatened
time after time. Several months ago
an unknown person fired upon him at
close range. but the bullet missed its
mark. Elderidge had been urged by
his friends to leave here for time.
but he declared he would not do So
Calhoun. who is alleged to have shot
Elderidge, is a brother-in-law of DON
ovant. His presence here was not gen.
eraly known until after the shooting.
Elderidge recently disposed of his in
terest in the Cane Belt Railroad to the
Santa Fe and was to become assOcia?
ted with John w. Gates. the Wall
street operator. in a railroad building
enterprise in Texas.

delegates are rather apathetic as re-
CARDS the Presidential race and are
practically certain TO vote for an un-

TO develop into one of the hardest
fights seen in recent years. On one
side are arrayed Governor Beckham
and the admin istration forces, sup
porting Lewis McQuown of Bowling

what is known as the "anti-machine"

Hearst is not as logical as Bryan, q"

too. is more theoretical than practical.
Although Hearst belongs to the So
called radical wing Of the Democratic
party, of which Bryan has been the
scknoWl leoged leader, he is the exact
sntithesis Of Bryan, not in his views,
but in his personal characteristics. He
is as deliberate as Bryan is quick, as
