MACK STARTED THE DECLINE
His Only Hope Now Lies in the Tam
many Leader.
COUNTIES HOW WEAKNESS
Friends Are Talking About the Ad-
visibility Of Having Him An
nounce Different Line Of Action.

NEW YORK, September 21.-This Is blue
Friday at Hearst headquarters. Reports
from all over the state indicate to the man.
ayers that the Hearst boom is on the wane.
Norman E. Mack started the ball rolling
day before yesterday, and bad news has
come in from every quarter. The one for
lorn hope which the Hearst managers still
entertain is that Tammany Leader Murphy
may stand fast and deliver the New York
county delegation for Mr.. Hearst. In that
event Mr.. Hearst would have 212 totes In
sight, still lacking five of a majority, but
with a field of SO unnstructed delegates to
work in.
Aside from the uncertainty as to Mr. Muir
phys position there Is the further depres-
sing fact that some Of the counties that
have heretofore instructed for Mr.. Hearst
are showing signs of weakening and in
clination to follow the suggestion Of Mr..
Mack. that it would be humiliating for the
democracy to hand itself over to the candi-
date of another party. Some Of Mr.. Hearsts
friends today are talking about the advisa-
bility of having him announce to the demo-
cratic convention that he does not seek the
nomination at its hands. He would then
RIM as the candidate of the Independence
League and appeal to democrats and re-
publicans to vote for him and the principles
enunciated at the leagues convention IN
to this advice it will be with sorrowing
heart. because 1t Is known to be his dear
est ambition to have the Endorsement OF the
democratic party.
1t cannot be said at this hour whether he
will abandon the fight or will make further
efforts to swing the Buffalo convention. A
few of his friends point out that 1t would De
good advertising for his boom to make the
play, for him at Buffalo. and would enable
him to pose again as martyr to alleged
machine politics. The martyr roll Is Mr..
Hearsts long suit He has played it to the
limit since last November. Practical poll
ticians admit that there might be profit in
his being martyred again. so that he could
go before the voters of the state as the vic
tim of the cruel bosses.
1t is childish to contend that Mr.. Hearst
is not without a following In this state.
Leaving aside all questions Of how he Sc
cured 1t and the methods by which 1t has
been worked up, the cold fact remains that
thousands Of voters in both the democratic
and republican parties believe in him. If
the Buffalo convention dominates some one
else he intends to ask the voters to desert
their old party allegiance and to follow the

FUTURE MOVEMENTS UNCERTAIN
Not Known Whether Secretary Root
Will Go to Havana.

Acting Secretary Adee OF the State De-
partment today notified Assistant Secre-
tary Bacon at Havana Of the arrival OF the
cruiser Charleston at Panama yesterday
with Secretary Root on board. 1t was
deemed likely that Mr. Bacon might desire
to communicate directly with Secretary
Root. No communication has been received
at the State Department from Secretary
Root.
1t is not known here whether Secretary
Root will be asked to expedite his move
ments on the isthmus so as to get to Ha-
vana with the least possible delay to assist
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary
Bacon In Strengthening out the political
trouble in Cuba. In the case the Presi-
dent desired it Secretary Root could make
the trip from Panama to Havana, if not
DELAYED en- route. in about three days. The
swift cruiser Columbia is now at Colon
awaiting the pleasure of Secretary Root
and party The original plan was to have
the ship bring them to the United States,
but it will be an easy matter to divert Its
course to Havana in case it Is deemed
expedient to have Secretary Root enter the
negotiations at this stage There may DO
reasons why such an act might be deemed
impolitic and possibly a reflection upon
Secretary Taft. the premier of the COM
mission, but who, on the arrival OF Secre-
tary Root the premier Of the cabinet, would
be naturally relegated to a subordinate po-
Sition.

Newport Women Will Be Censors Of
Posters.

NEWPORT, r. l., September N.-The
women members of the Civic League Of
Newport, in their efforts to preserve the
natural beauties of the city, have formed
themselves into board Of censors, with the
suppression of Objectionable billboard pos
tiers as their particular object. An adver-
tisement which recently covered nearly
every billboard in the city was considered
by the women members of the league to be
improper, and they demanded that the bill
poster cover the boards with paper" which
was not Objectionable. The bill poster de-
clined to do so until he was assured of the
support of the league, the majority of which
are wealthy. He was given the necessary
promise. and it became known today that
an agreement had been entered into where
by a committee Of the league would here
after pass upon all advertising literature
before it is posted on the billboards through
out the city.

Do NOT WANT NEGROES
WINDY CITY IN ARMS ABOUT
CoLoRED TROOPERS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 21.-The fash
ionable suburbs along the north lake shore,
inha bited by Chicago millionaires and ar1s-
tocrats, are aroused to a high pitch of in
dignation because the War Department at
Washington has ordered the transfer of
coored troops from Jefferson barracks to
Fort Sheridan which is close to these sub
urbs. Today the exclusive sets living In
Evanston and Lake Forest are loud in
voicing their indignation at the order
which will bring negro troopers to Fort
Sheridan. These colored soldiers are four
troops of the 9th Cavalry. Evanston, the
home of Northwestern University and a
Methodist stronghold, is aghast at the pros
pect of the negro invasion of the town,
which it is feared will result from the COM
ing of the colored troopers. Three thou
sand negroes of the better class already
dwell on the outskirts of Evanston, and 1t
is regarded as certain that the negro cav
alrymen will be attracted there. There has
already been much disturbance and alarm
over the brawls among the white soldiers
at Fort Sheridan. and the wealthy whites
are fearful that matters will be much
worse with the negro soldiers there in such
great force. s,4
The society and better class of white
women of Evanston are apprehensive of at
taclks at night by the negro soldiery, as the
town Is poorly policed. The authorities Of
the town are also much concerned as to
conditions that will prevail. They are
actively at work trying to bring influence
to bear to have the War Department coun-
termand the order sending the negro troops
here.
The discovery that Capt. Albert Young OF
l. troop, one of those ordered here. is a
negro, has aroused great indignation among
the white army officers at Fort Sheridan.
They are redhot
dan suburbs are busy today getting at the
local representatives to urge the War De-
partment to order the colored troops else

Tine speaker then began to read from an editorial on "bossism against leader ship" The editorial made sharp dis tinction between the two and he ended by saying he had confidence in the ability of the members of the conven- ton to name whom they wanted to represent them. This speech was made by MT Vandiver when he thought his name had been withdrawn from the race for one of the committeeman. It developed later that he was finally per suaded to accept the nomination, and he succeeded in polling two more votes for the third committeeman than Mir. Brooke ot Crenshaw. The other two committeeman MT. Banks of AttaIIa and Mir Moody of Tuscaloosa, were elected almost unanimously. When, after the speech of Mir. Vandiver Mir. Brooke endeavored to get the floor again in behalf of his fellow commit teemen, he was ruled out of order as motion had already been put to pro- ceed with the election.
