WHOLE SITUATION
 IS COMPLICATED
MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS ARE FIX PECTING LIVELY TIME AT THE CONVENTION WHICH WILL OPEN TODAY AT DETROIT.

Detroit. May s1-The democratic state convention to elect delegates to the na- tional convention at St. Louis will con- vene here at noon tomorrow. It is ex- pected on every hand that there will be a fight to the finish between the so- called conservative and radical wings of the party.
 Yet the situation is extremely com- plicated. While National Committeeman Daniel J. Camrau is avowedly In favor of Judge Parker of New York for the presi- dential nomination. Mir. campau and his supporters, who comprise the conserva- tive element, are demanding only an unin- strrcted delegation. On the other hand. Frank L. Fowler of Manistee, leader of the so-called Hearst faction, today re- fuses to affirm the assertion that he was Hearst supporter, and declared he was simply "antl-Parker."
 The unit rule will in all probability govern the Michigan delegation at St. Louis.

ROOSEVELT WILL
 STAY OUT OF IT
EXPRESSES ON WISCONSIN DELE CATION THAT HE HAS NO IN TENTION OF INTERFERING IN LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Washington, May 91.-President Roose- welt today again made it clear that he will not permit himself to be drawn into local political contests. A delegation of Wisconsin republicans consisting of w.. D. Connor, chairman of the state com mittee; W. T. House, secretary of state; Irvine L. Penrot, speaker of the Wis consn assembly; c. c. Gittings and H.. P. Myrick, editor of the Milwaukee Free Press, called on the President to discuss Wisconsin politics. They are supporters of Governor Lafollette.
 Their visit was prompted by the recent call on the President of Senator Spooner who presented to him the anti-Lafolette side of the Wisconsin question. The President has listened to both sides. but informed them definitely that he would have nothing to do with the contest in any way. Later Messrs Myrick, Git tings and Connor were closeted with Postmaster General Payne the. acting chairman of the national republican com mttee.

BRYAN WILL CONTROL.
Nebraska Democrats Begin to Arrive
 for Convention.

Omaha. Neb., May 31.-Democratic leaders from different parts of the state began arriving today for the democratic state convention, which will be held in this city Wednesday. Indications are that William J. Bryan's friends will com pletely dominate the convention, the coun- ty convention in Douglass (Omaha) coun- ty last Saturday having eliminated the last hope of the "reorganizers'' to secure recognition.
 The convention, in addition to selecting four delegates at large, also will name two delegates for each district to the national convention, and adopt a plat form which is expected to reflect the views of MT. Bryan. MT. Bryan himself probably will be elected to lead the Ne braska delegation at the St. Louis con vention. No contests are anticipated. but one county having elected delegates directly opposed to the Kansas City plat form.

 pointment Is Mistake.

Washington. May Sl-(special)- 1.-The Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, d property worth 8 100000, two-thirds of which Is owned by the state of North Carolina, was thrown into the hands Of a receiver last Saturday by United States District Judge Purnel on the application of a New York stockholder. Today ex- Governor Jarvis, Attorney General Gill more and James H. Pou, representing Governor Aycock secured a writ of super cedeas from Chief Justice Fuller sus- pending Judge PurneIs order appointing receivers.
 While Judge Purnell was being over ruled by the chief justice of the United States today, down at Raleigh the district judge had before him in contemI~ pro- ceedngs Josephus Daniels, democratic national committeeman from the state. who vigorously criticised in his paper Sunday morning the decision placing the road in the hands of a receiver. The judge imposed fine of 5000 on Mir. Dan- iels and tonight telegram was received from him saying that he would ''rot in jair' before he would pay the fine.
 He has engaged the attorneys repre- senting the state in the railroad suit to remain here and institute proceedings be- fore one of the supreme court Judges as soon as he Is placed in jail. James H. Pou, one of the attorneys, said tonight:
 We are having a very animated race for the democratic nomination for gov ernor in North Carolina and some of the strongest men in the state are contesting for the honor but If Josephus Daniels Is placed in jail no power on earth can pre- vent his nomination for governor by the democratic state convention June 2S. all though he has never been mentioned in .Nati,,f.

ODELL'S VISIT IS
 CAUSING MUCH TALK
SAID THAT HE WILL TRY TO IN DUcE AMBASSADOR PORTER TO BECOME CANDIDATE FOR GOV ERNoR OF NEW YORK.

Paris. May Ex-Governor Odell of New York, arrived late this afternoon and went to the hotel Ritz Owing to the lateness of his arrival. he did not call on the embassy or elsewhere.
 Governor Odell's coming is attracting much interest because of the published report that one of the purposes of his visit is to induce Ambassador Porter to accept the candidacy for governor of New York.
 When the Associated Press correspond- ent asked Governor Odell about the re- port. replied that he had come abroad for short rest, intending to remain a week. and then return to New York in time to attend the republican national convention. He would see Ambassador Porter tomorrow. As they were both from New York. and greatly interested in New York affairs. 1t would be natural that they should discuss conditions there. Beyond this, the governor did not desire to make statement.

Perdcaris Matter Is Considered at
 Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, May 31.-Careful consider ation was given by the cabinet today of the capture of Ion Perdcaris an Amer lean citizen and his stepson Cromwell Varley, a British subject by Moroccan bandits. Secretary Hay presented the latest advices from Consul Gummere at Tangier.

Secretary Moody said that no report of the case had then been received from Admiral Chadwick although he expected one at any tune. It WAS stated that the action Of the navy in the matter had been taken at the instance of the state department.

France and the United States Are Anxious to Get Possession of PerdIcarls Without Re-
 sorting to Arms.

Paris. May 31.-Foreign Minister Dell casse, in consequence of communication from the state department at Washing ton, transmitted through Ambassador Porter has telegraphed instruction to the French minister at Tangier to use his utmost endeavors to obtain the re- lease of Don Perdicaris and Cromwell varley.
 American officials are hopeful that French infantry with the Moroccan gov- ernment. together with the presence of tho American fleet at Tangier, will se- cure an adjustment of the affair. Re- ports through French official channels show that Raisuli's demand for ransom is $7oOOo. The American view Is that if the ransom should be paid through the fam fly of Perdicaris. Raisuf could be dealt with subsequently and the money re- stored to the family, but French officials who are familiar with the situation in Morocco are less sanguine of settlement, owing to claims that Raisuli has put for ward terms which threaten to raise poli- tica. and international entanglements
 Wants Subordinate Kingdom.
 AccorulDS 10 information reaching the foreign office he requires the Sultan to give him a subordinate kingdom with the right to levy taxes throughout region embracing thirty-eight square kilometers, lying directly along the main route from Tapgier to Fez. Officials say Raisuh would thereby become one of the dominant po- litical factors ir Morocco.
 Moreover, Raisuli's demand that he may levy taxes on travellers on main route to the capital is considered untenable Re- ports received show that the sultan is ready to pay the ransom, but that he IS ip willing to yield to the political aps bitions of Raisuli. However, the French minister at Tangier secured the release of a Frenchman held under similar circum- stances by enlisting the interests of chiefs of tribes and Sheriffian authorities and hope that the same influence will now prevail.
 The French authorities are not likely to view favorably the seizure of a port or the landing of marines. being of the opinion that the Monroe doctrine should cut both ways. It Is pointed out that an expedetion inland would be wholly im- practicable. owing to typographical and material considerations.

Hostility to Lamsdorf.

St. Petersburg, May 3l.--Gossip concern- ing Count Lamsdorff's early retirement from the ministry of foreign affairs Is re- newed. The reported present instance seems based not so much on political grounds as of manifestations Of personal hostility outside ministerial circles The fact that Count Lamsdorff notified for egn diplomats that he would not receive on his regular reception day, tomorrow is being used to add color to the reports of his retirement although this may only be a coincidence of little significance. Such notifications have not been uncom- mon during the past year.
 It Is considered that these reports may have been spread by ministers who are his personal enemies. and some of whom 1t is well known have sought 10 under mine him for some time.
 The government Is making every effort to expedte the despatch of artillery rein- forcements to the front. Ordnance ma terial on the way is given precedence over all othe traffic and even passen- gers.

 T want you to tell him as soon as possible,'' the dying senator Is quoted as saying Probably I should have no voice in the selection, but tell the Presi- dent that he is surely making a mistake.
 Don" he Is reported to have said fur ther, "the coming campaign will be a hard one. It will be one of the hardest fights in the history of the republican party. The opposition is strong and it may grow stronger. and on this account the new chairman should be a man who has had the greatest political experience that 1t is possible to obtain"
