 IN NEW YORK Both Parties Will Vote Today. THE FIGHT ON McCARREN Labor Unions Demand Scalp
 of the Senator. Labor Leaders Call on State Chairman
 Meyer and Ask Removal of Me- carre. as CAair.aA q tAs Executive CsnmAttee.
HE FIGHT ON McCARREN

New York. Aug. 29.-Democratic and Republican primaries throughout Greater New York will be held tomor- row and the interest centers in the Borough of Brooklyn.
 There the leadership of State Senator McCarren Is in the balance. and the fight promises to be a bitter one from the opening of the polls. The labor leaders of Brooklyn today served notice on State Chairman Cord Meyer that Senator McCarren would have to re- sign as chairman of the State Execu- tive Committee. If he Is not promptly dropped from Democratic councils. the labor men say that 100000 Democrats Identified with the building trades will vote against Parker and Davis. They had previously written to Chairman Meyer. Today they called upon him as a committee to emphasize their de- mands. He gave them no definite re- ply.
 The primary election this year means more to the Republicans than usual, owing to the fact that under Governor Odelps plan to strengthen the organi- zation in New York County the size of the county committee has been doubled and the additional members will be elected tomorrow. The only district in which the issue Is at all in doubt on the Republican side is the twenty-fifth.
 There will not be more than one Democratic contest of any interest in the Borough of Manhattan.

wEINsErMER RESIGNS.
William HI. Mason Takes the Place of
 the Labor Leader.


 the Labor Leader.
 New York, Aug. 29.-Philip Vein seimer, President of the Building Trades Alliance. a union organization who has twice been indicted for extortion, to- day resigned his leadership. and Will liam H. Mason. President of the Rell- ance Labor Club of Marble Cutters, was elected his successor.
 Mason has been for a long time an active factor in the alliance, but he is regarded as one of the more conserva tive element. Twice recently he and John MacAlister have headed commit tees which have gone to the Employ CTS Association in the hope of nego- tiating a settlement of the building lockout now in force here.
 Each time they failed because they insisted on a technical recognition of the alliance. a point the Employers As. sociation has always refused to con- cede.
 As the culminative evidence against Weinseimer was made public, opposi- tion to him in the ranks of the alll- ance became more pronounced, though immediately after his first indictment the delegates gave him a unanimous vote of confidence. Even in his own organization, the Journeymen Plumb CTS and Gas Filters Union, where he has enjoyed the powers almost of a dictator. dissatisfaction has grown well-night into open revolt

PRISONER KILLS SELF
RoCCHIGGIANA COMMITS SUICIDE
 BY HANGING.
Photographer Arrested in Connection With Theft of Cope from Cathedral at AscoIi, Aftervvard Bought
 Fly J. P. Morgan.

Ascoii. Italy. Aug. 2s-The photog- rapher Rocchiggiana, who was arrested August IT in connection with the theft from the Cathedral of Ascoli of c price less cope, which was afterward bought by J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, committed suicide today by hanging himself to . bar fin his cell. He had received no. nourishment for several days.
 The cope, which was very ancient and considered priceless. was stolen from the cathedral in 1902. It mysteriously disappeared while repairs were being made to the cathedral. and though the Government took measures for its TO- covery. the efforts were unsuccessful.
 A London dispatch of July 1s an- nounced that Mir. Morgan had loaned the cope to the South Kensington Mu- scum, where 1t was on exhibition. It is described as a beautifully ensoroid- cred piece of work, done in France in the Thirteenth century, and present. ed to the cathedral at Ascoli by Nicholas W.
 A dispatch from AscoIi. August 27, said that a sensation had been caused there ewing to the fact that Mgr san- tarelli. the rector; Father Lucidi, professor; Father Dangelo. administra- tor of the Seminary. and Father Orto. lani, the parish priest of Ancarano had been summoned to appear before the court Investigating the theft of the cope. During @ search of the house of Rocchiggiana, the authorities found the sum of $3,o00 which it was claimed increased the seriousness of the case against him as he was looked upon as being comparatively poor.

 Washington. Aug. 2s---In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Justice Stafford issued an order directing Thomas E. Waggaman, treasurer of the Catholic University, against whom proceedings in bank ruptcy have been filed. to show cause by September 1 why ha should not be removed as trustee for certain parties to whom he gavss nytes for certain monies invested.
 Another phase of the case developed today when the Second National Bank, the National Bank of Washington and the National Metropolitan Bank. which filed the original proceedings in bank ruptcy. petitioned the court to appoint receiver to take possession of all the assets of Mr. waggamAn and col lect and hold the sanc until further orders.
 The petitioning creditors informed the court that this action was abso- lutely necessary for the preservation of the estate of MT. Waggaman and to the best interest of the same. Ac- companytng the petition is a letter signed by Mfr. Waggaman asking that this action be taken. In the petition 1t Is stated that the debts said to be secured by the securities are very large, being upwards of $500,0oo and that the face value of the securities amount to more than $1.000.00o

Democrats of Minnesota Are Not United
 on a Ticket.
 Minneapolis. Minn, Aug. 2e.--A fever. ish unrest pervades the State Demo- cratic party today. At the present tipe everything is in the air. Some of the local Democrats and notably the old time leaders and many of those who were influential in the anti-Hearst crusade are in favor of the Johnson Winston slate, which Is backed by the St. Paul crowd.
 Although the radicals were apparent ly satisfied with John A. Johnson of St. Peter. Minn.. at one time they seem disposed to oust him If a candidate sor Governor can be found.
 All sorts of stories of treason, strat- egy and spoils are to be heard. Some claim that Johnson Is the candidate of H. Hill. and object for that req son. From the way local Democrats talk today 1t would seem that when the Hennepfn delegation meets for final caucus tomorrow, John A. Johnson will be endorsed for Governor, F. G. Win ston of this city for Lieutenant-G Gov ernor. and John Lind for the Supreme bench.

VI AhA ne n StEIkG.
 New York. Aug. 29.-Whether or not there will be a strike on the elevated roads and the new subway depends largely on the results of a conference to be held tomorrow morning between Edward P.

 The labor men say that the most im- portant subjects for discussion is the demand that the subway motormen shall receive $3.50 for a day of nine hours.
 Fifteen hundred delegates of the two unions have voted unanimously to sup port the 'L" motormen that the drivers of subway trains shall receive $3.50.

CAMPAIGN 4
 VERY vER1YGosE GosE BabcOck Find }sthe Fight
 Exciting. MANY SPEAKERS ARE OUT Cannon Will Soon Go In Search of Votes. Not Much Interest Is Taken In Cam. paign Literature Says the Chair- man of the Republican
 Committee.
MANY SPEAKERS ARE OUT

Washington, Aug. 29.-Chairman Joseph W. Babcock. of the Republican congressional committee, today ex- pressed the opinion that the present Is the closest congressional campaign nc has experienced since 1898.
 What are the conditions which make the congressional campaign closer this year than 1t has been since lSsbF MT. Babcock was asked.
 .arhey diner in localities" he re- sponded. Tn some the conditions re- suit from the character of the national campaign. In others the conditions are almost entirely local. Then. in some cases, the dif5iculty Is over the kind Of men nominated for congress. In Ne- braska, where there are six members Of the house to fight for. the Democrats have abandoned the national campaign. They have fused with the Populists on the legislative and congressional tick cts, but not on presidential electors. Nearly all congressional districts the State are close.
 we redeemed four of these districts two years ago. but they have been go- ing one way or the other by narrow margins-not by hundreds or three hundred or four hundred. but in some instances by twelve or fifteen or twen- ty votes. Now the congregational com mittee has to go jn there without the usual support from the national com mittee.
 Little Interest in Literature.
 There is not much interest In cam paisn literature" continued MT. Bab- cock We are sending out soeeches on the tariff and some matters relat- ing to the Panama canal. also few Democratic speeches, like that. of Bourke Cochran, on the tarin. But we have not had real campaign of education since 1896. have never sent out as many documents in any one year as then.
 We expect to have a good deal of speaking. There are about a dozen leading Republican members of the House on which we are relying Chief among them. of course, Is Speaker Cannon. who is a splendid vote getter on the stump. He is going to start cue soon by special train, and will be accompanied on part of his trip by Representative Watson of Indiana, and on the rest of his trip by Representa- tive Adam Bede. of Minnesota

WOODRUFF IS CONFIDENT.
Believes He is Going to Be Nominated
 for Governor.


 New York. Aug. 29.--On the eve of the city primaries there is great deal of uncertainty about the Republican nomination for Governor of New York. Some men are beginning to suspect that Governor Odell has been in earnest In the declarations that he has often made that he did not know who would be named.
 Three men only are now talked about--Timothy L. woodrurf. Lieuter- ant Governor Higgings and Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University. Mir. Woodruff Is the most active candi- date, and he believes he Is going to win. Governor Oden does not share that confidence which probably means that Odell is not for the Brooklyn man. Although Governor Odell has declared from the beginning that he had no can didate and asserted that 1t would be an open convention. 1t is not believed he ever thought 1t would be 'open" for Woodruff.
 Governor odell and Mir. Woodruff were both at national headquarters to- day and it was surmised that the Gov ernorship was under consideration.

HAD ATTACKED WOMAN

Laramie. Wyo., Aug. 29.-Joe Martin, colored. was lynched by mob of 800 men in front of Judge Carpenters s house at o'clock tonight. Martin was . trusty in the county jail. He at- tackled a white girl. Della Krause, in the jail kitchen and slashed her face and arms with knife. One man was injured by Martin when entering the jail to drag out the prisoner
 After assaulting Miss Krause with "a razor, Martin was placed in a cell in the county jai.
 The first intimat ation that Sheriff Cook had of the contemplated lynching was when two masked men appeared in the kitchen of the jail house and with guns leveled at him told him that there were 200 men waiting outside for the negro and that he had better not at- tempt to make any trouble for them.
 In the meantime another masked man had entered and while the first two held the sheriff. the third man took the keys of the jail from the sheriff' s pocket and then the three started for the negros cell.
 On the way the met pr. Miller who had been summoned to attend the wounds of Martin, self inflicted with the same razor with which he had assaulted the girl and Turnkey Jones, They were both compelled to stand against the cage of the cells with their faces turned away from the mob.
 Hanged to Lamp Post.
 The negro was then taken from his cell and hurriedly marched through the court house into the street. Ar irving at the almp post. a short dis tance from the jail the negro was quickly strung up to the post. Dur Ing the entire proceeding he did not speak nor attempt to resist the mob. The lynching occurred about o'clock and within an hour the streets were deserted.
 Acting Coroner Grant took charge of the body of the negro and turned 1t over to an undertaken.
 Miss Krauss undoubtedly would have been killed by Martin had not the swife Of Sheriff Cook held him by his arms until his rage had cooled and until he could be taken from the kitch- en. On the way out he slashed Frank Fraser, a bystander with butcher knife which he had grabbed from the kitchen table. The wound Is not ser Ious. Miss Krause, who comes from Chillicothe, Mo, is not seriously hurt.
