ularity. but because of the fact that
Chairman Seton of the election commits
sion held shat the convention had the
right TO effect its own temporary organi-
zation and elect its own temporary Of
ficera.
This decision was in accordance with
an agreement reached by the commits
sion and counsel representing both lac
tionS, prior TO the convention. In view
OF the facts, even the average Hearst
man believes that the contesting dele-
cation will have no standing either be-
fore the national committee or before
the convention. :
A Futile Hope.
These delegates" however, profess to
have confidence. and point to the tact
that four years ago the contest result
ed in a division of the Districts vote.
Against this argument the statement is
made that at that time the matter was
not thoroughly understood, and that the
committee on credentials failed even to
read the report of the national commit
tee which was then unanimously in ia
vor of the Norris delegation. but rushed
the matter through without giving Ii any
attention.
At that time, too, the contestants were
favored with more capable managers
than they will have this time. IL is saic
that some of those chosen by the '-rump'
convention may not go 10 st. LOUIS to
make the fight. However. the Norris
people intend 20 fortify themselves
against any possibility of contest and
will be prepared TO prove their case
with credentials, affi6avits, and records
mittee the committee on credentials,

by local Democrats, with the exception
Of few of the most radical Hearst

Even If the friends of Mr.. Hearst were
in control of the national convention,
which it is certain now that they viii
not be, it is asserted that only by re-
sort to the most arbitrary methods could

Norris delegates was regular through

BRIGHT STORY. OF CHILD LIFE
Mrs. Margaret Busbee Ship Coming to
Front as Magazine Author.

Miss Margaret Busbee Shipp, widow
Cf Lieutenant w. T.. Shipp, who was
killed at San Juan Hill and the daugh-
ter of Mr.. f. II. Busbee, of Raleigh,
has in the current issue of Leslie's
July Monthly, a charmingly written
and vivacious story of child life under
the title of Little Paulfat"
The story, which strikes the note of
infantile cerebration with humorous
fidelity, incidentally accomplishes the
difficult feat of touching a burning
public question with a delicate and
well contained satire, and leaves the
reader at the end pleased and amused
and just thoughtful enough for a July
day. Altogether it is well conceived
sketch, handled with truth and a SEN
stive attention to artistic values
Mrs. Shipp, who is one of Raleigh
most charming women, is widely
known throughout the State and her
friends are numbered by the tens of
hundreds, to whom the knowledge she
should meet with so marked a success
in this and other stories which have
appeared from time to time is Il cause
Of great qualification.

lRv the Associated Press.l

Esopus, n. Y, July 22.-Judge
Parker was informed today by the
Associated Press of Senator German S
determination not to accept the chair
manship of the National Committee.
William F. Sheehan. who was the
choice of many party leaders was
with Judge Parker at this time. He
was asked whether he would now
permit his name to go before the
be held at the Hoffman House in
New York on Tuesday next and re-
piled laughingly, "Oh, nobody wants
me for chairman" Then seriously,
ne discussed briefly his own position,
making it plain that he has not al
lowed his name to be considered by
party leaders, and that he stands
firm in his refusal to serve as man
ager of the campaign. From his at
titude he no longer can be regarded
rs a possibility. August Belmont also
has asserted that he will not accept
an active part in the campaign man
agement and thus Mr.. Taggart is the
only one of those put forward for the
craftsmanship who is left in the race.
Leaders in the party who have visit
ed Rosemount have said several
times that the selection of chairman
would be the unhampered duty of
the National Committee Similar ut
terancess have come from prominent
Democrats who attended the recent
in New York, and the
possibility remains that out of the un-
certainty may be brought some can
didate, heretofore not mentioned, who
could at once draw the support of all
factions.
At Rosemount no apprehension is
felt because of Senator Germans
declination. He has attended the
New York conferences and has taken
a hearty interest in the campaign.
over and over again he has said he
would do nothing in his power for
party success and whoever is selected
for chairman has assurance of the
cordial assistance of an experienced
campaign manager

4 5000 PRIZE WON
Lucky Guess by Mr.. James
Ashcroft on Admissions
To Worlds Fair.

A "pick up of $500 in the coin OF
the realm has come to Mr.. James
Ashcroft, of this city, who is III real
ity the Raleigh Lucky Jim.
Mr.. Ashcroft gets this from the
Woolson Spice Company, of Toledo,
the manufacturers of the Lion Brand
If coffee. and the notice that he had
won the fourth prize of $500 in a
guessing contest came to MIN yeSter-
dav as a delightful surprise.
Mr.. Ashcroft is a salesman for Mr..
r w. Upchurch, who has a grocery
business on East Hargett street. The
Lion brand firm offered $4,000 in
prizes for guesses at the correct num-
her of paid admissions to the World s
Fair at st. Louis on the fourth Of
July. One guess was allowed for each
five pounds of Lion coffee sold and
i'm the two or three weeks in which
Mr. Ashcroft took up the matter he
sold eighty five pound packages OF
the coffee and hence had eighty
guesses Which of these won he does
not know, nor how near he came to
the exact number, as the list has not
yet been sent out.
Mr.. Ashcroft, his family and his
friends are all happy over his good
luck. Another guessing contest, with
$4,000 in prizes is on for the number
of votes to be cast on the Presidential
election. Mr.. Ashcroft will guess in
this also, and here's more good luck
to him.

London. July 23.-( Saturday 1.-The
morning papers generally express SAT
isfaction that the Malacca incident has
been settled in accordance with the de-
mandS of Great Britain, though there
is an inclination to await the settle
ment of the broader question of the
passage through the Dardanelles of
the volunteer fleet steamers before
believing that all danger has been
averted This feeling is heightened by
the adjournment of the House CT Com
mons that he had no official news to
communicate either in connection with
the Malacca incident or with volun-
teer fleet steamers in general.
Some papers are inclined to doubt
the authenticity of the news that the
Malacca incident has been settled, but

plains the apparent contradiction exist

and the kilograms from St Petersburg.

Office July 21,'' says the Daily Tele-

TROOPS ARE ASKED
To Keep Order in This
Camp of Gamblers,
Robbers, Thugs.
(By the Associated Press.)

Bonesteel, S. D., July 22.--Federal
troops have been asked for and are
being held in readiness to be sent here
pending a promise by the gamblers
that the "grafters" shall leave the city
at once.
Last night the mayor in a signed
statement notified superintendent Nc
Phaul, of the government registration
office, that he was unable to cope with
the situation and requested that troops
be called for. Two hours later the
request was withdrawn. at midnight
the request was renewed by the city
authorities. Today meeting of citi-
Zens was held and Mr.. McPhaul issued
an ultimatum to the city authorities,
saving that the rioting and disorder of
last night positively would not be per-
united again and that he would re-
move the registration office from
Ronesteel to another point if a repeti-
ton of the rioting occurred.
Today McPhaul notified the govern
ment authorities that the town was
past the control of the local authori-
ties and advised the sending of troops.
Today man was held up in front of
the Citizens Bank and robbed Of $40.
Shortly afterwards another bold rob-
berry was committed on the main
street. farmer was asked by a
gambler to play. He refused, saying
he had only $45. He was asked to
show his money, which he did. No
sooner had he produced it than he was
knocked down and his money was
taken The robber walked away and
the victim drawing a revolver, follow
ed and made the foot pad give up the
money. AS he pocketed his pistol and
money three other gamblers aimed
their pistols at him and took both his
revolver and money.
