Iowa Republicans Gather.

tatlons no serious disturbances marked
morning in the first city election under
the new charter. While there are Ave
tickets, the contest lies between the
Democratic ticket, headed by Robert
w. speer for mayor, which is support
cd by the public utility corporations,
and the Republican, headed by John w.
Springer which has been advocated by
all the newspapers and endorsed by
yorable for getting out full vote and
the voting in the early hours was the
heaviest ever seen In the city. The
registrations lists bear over 10000
names, It is claimed by the Repub-
leans that over 10000 are fictitious and
have been registered by the Speer peo-
pie for purposes OF fraud. Hundreds
OF special policemen have been sworn
in by the Democratic fire and police
board, and Republicans allege that
these are working for the election OF
Speer rather than for the protection Of
honest voters. Complaints reached Re-
publican headquarters early In the day
that watchers had been excluded from
some voting booths.
DEADLOCK AT SPRINGFIELD.
Springfield H., May l7-Conferences
to break the deadlock in the Repub-
lican state convention seeming fruitless,
the delegates today faced prospect
Of further stubborn ballotng, j. II.
Neville, Of Gov. Yates campaign COM
'mittee, said that no agreement between
Yates and any OF the candidates had
been reached, but that IL the ballotinB
failed to produce results before 4
o'clock this afternoon further efforts
would be made to get the candidates
together.
The outlook today was that unless
Yates should be beaten by a combina-
ton to which both Lowden and Dineen
We're parties, the deadlock would con-
tinue indefinitely. During one of the
conferences the governor is said TO have
made the statement that, az he had
more votes than any other candidate he
ought 10 be the last one that could be
expected to withdraw ana that rather
than yield an inch he would let the con-
vention adjourn sine die or take 40
days recess,
In the Yates camp there were intima-
lions that the governor might expect
coup today. There was some depression
among the Lowden men who had eX-
pected substantial gains yesterday and
who today seemed confronted by a pos
slbllity that Colonel Lowden might be
forced to a choice between Yates and
Dineen.
