Ava Adams Sure of denomination by tho State Convention In Session
 in Denver.

Denver, Sept. 12.-The democratic state convention met in Coliseum hall Tuesday to nominate full state tick ct and two justices of the supreme court When the convention opened there seemed no doubt that former Gov. Ava Adams, of Pueblo, would be nominated for another term as governor, although County Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver, was still men toned Judge Lindsey has Always been warm supporter of Adams and was not in any sense contesting with him for the honor. Lindseys friends were anxious that Adams should ac- scept the endorsement of the conven- ton for the position of United States senator to succeed Thomas M. Patter- son, whose term expires next March and pass up the governorship to Lindsey. Senator Patterson, whose fight against the local democratic or ganization dominated by Mayor Ro- bert w. Speer has won him warm sup port from outside counties, insists that Adams take the gubernatoriai nomina- ton in vindication of his claim that he was elected governor two years ago and was robbed of the office

 LittIetieId's District.

Portland, Me, Sept. 11.--A fair day, interesting and important issues and the determinations of party leaders tc get out every possible vote, all com bined Monday to bring throngs of citizens to the polls. Voting continued until o'clock in the afternoon.

Littlefield, because of his failure to vote for cer- tain labor measures advocated by the federation. Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the federation personally stumped the district against MT. Lit tlefield.a
 Prohibiticn has been the keynote of the campaign of Gov. Cobb, who is candidate for reelection, while the democrats seek the resubmission to the people of the prohibitory law.

Great Interest Manifested in the Coming International Boat Race
 In England.

Putney, Eng, Sept. 7--The univer- sal interest taken In the coming in- ternational boat race is evidenced by the crowds which daily throng the river banks, eagerly awaiting the ap- pearance of the crews and keeping close watch on the Harvard and Cam bridge headquarters so as not to lose the pleasure of witnessing any work done by the oarsmen. The serious practice Is finished The crews Thurs day did few starts and returned to their respective boat houses. The lo- cal experts see practically nothing to choose between the eights so far as stamina is concerned. Both crews ap- pear to be trained to the hour and many people consider that the race has resolved itself into battle oi styles"
 Each crew appears to be made up on past masters of the different styles ,f rowing their craft and should Har- yard, with the American style, win the race the confidence of the British in their style, which iron, time im- memorial has been based upon swing will receive rude shaking Odds or II to eight are being laid on Cam bridge, but judging from the time tests they ought to be the other way
