Oyster Bay, July IA committee
representing the Central Labor unions
in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties,
with a membership of 225,000 men,
principally miners or allied Workmen,
came here today to present to Presi-
dent Roosevelt personally resolutions
adopted by the several central labor
bodies they present, urging him to
investigate the Colorado labor situa-
ton.
The members Of the committee
were informed by Secretary Loeb that
a personal interview with the presi-
dent could not be arranged. He sug-
gested that they call on National
Chairman Cortelyou in New York
with the resolutions, but they de-
clined to accept the suggestion. They
left inm for home to report
to a convention which now Is In SEES
sion at Pittston, Pa.
Senator Fairbanks and National
Chairman George B. CortelyOu, who
were overnight lguests Of President
Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill, left here

this evening, when he will return to

will stop in New York for several

ments for the work Of the campaign.

from the New York and Bermudez
Asphalt company, and has given no.
tice thru one Of his cabinet ministers
Of his intentiop rs proceed legally be-
fore Venezuelan courts to secure the
money. The president bases his claim
on the allegation that the asphalt
company gave material aid to the late
revolutionary movement, and especial
~ to General Matos, whereby the Cas-
tro government was put to the neces-
sity Of expending 100000 to sup
press the rebellion. The suit is the
elimination of long litigation grow
ing out Of the claim Of a rival con-
Germ, the Warner Quinlan syndicate,
to part Of the asphalt lake at Fell
cidad. The supreme court of Venezu-
ella gave judgment in favor of the
New York company. The suit which
General Castro is now about to insti-
tute is said to be the outcome Of the
failure Of the proceedings of the

Esopus, N. Y, July 12.-Norman
E. Mack, the committeeman from
New York, will urge the selection of
William F. Sheehan as national chair
man of the national committee. It is
confidently thought here among the
friends of Judge Parker that Mr..
Sheehan Is entitled to the position,
and that he will be elected.
Mr.. Sheehan arrived here yester-
day and after short conference with
Judge Parker went to his home.
Before going to his house Mr.. Shee-
han said that the national committee
will meet in New York in two weeks
and organize and next day the ma
tional committee and the committee
on notification will go to Rosemont
and notify Judge Parker. The cam
paign will then begin. The real di-
rectton will be conducted from the
sheehan house, which is larger than
Rosemont. Mr.. Sheehan looked tired
and worn.
David B. Hill came on the same
train with Mr.. Sheehan as far as
Albany, postponing his intended visit
mere.
It Is pretty safe prediction that
August Belmont will not be chairman
Of the national committee.
The return here of William F.
Sheehan from the St. Louis conven-
ton yesterday marks the opening OF
the national democratic campaign
which will be largely conducted from

paign have not been completed, but
it is probable Judge Parker will re-

General Payne, whose long connection
with the management of presidential
campaigns gives his opinion weight,
predicts that the democratic ticket
will be defeated. Discussing the OUT

II do not see how 1t is possible for

Mr.. Davis was undoubtedly nominated
for the purpose of carrying WestnVir-
GINA and Maryland for the demo-
Gratis. 1t was a clever move on the

lican.
Since the ticket was nominated, I

elect a president and vice president.
safely counted for the republican
party. OF the remaining 23s electoral
votes, seventy-eig eight must be placed in
the doubtful column. OF the doubtful
votes the republican party will secure
at least one-half, and while I do not
wish to appear too enthusiastic, do
not believe it possible for the Parker
and Davis ticket to win.
In my calculations T have given
New York, Maryland and New Jersey
to the democrats. OF course we do not
concede New York to the democrats,
but my figures show that Roosevelt
can be elected without the Empire
state. New Jersey will certainly be
found in the republican column when
the votes are cast, and while I have
placed West Virginia in the doubtful
column, it is safely republican. Con-
necticut will also be carried by the re-
publ1cans, and the same Is true of
Colorado, Idaho and Utah.
7 am not familiar with the record
Of Senator Davis and he has not been
in public life for some years, but I
have no doubt that his record will fur
nish considerable material for the re-
publican stump speakers"
