CANDIDATE MAY
Be DEFEATED
Secret Ballot Would Shelve
Congressman Wadsworth.
Working Today to Line Up
Enough Votes to Favor Open
Ballot and Thus Save Ad-
ministration Candidate.

Albany, N. Y. Jan. 2-The test Of
strength In the caucus Of republican
assemblvmen tonight will probably
be taken not directly in = vote upon
the candidates for the nomination for
speaker of the assembly, but upon the
question whether the vote on the
speakership nomination shall be =
secret vote.
The utmost resources Of both sides
in the contest are now concentrated
upon that single point. Its impor-
tanoe is evident in the light Of the
fact that the pledges hitherto obtained
from the individual members of the
assembly have had reference only TO
the support Of this candidate or that.
The issue Of . secret ballot for the
speakership sprang into existence late
last evening and visibly disturbed all
the comparative certainties which had
been supposed to exist.
Leaders of the movement for the
nomination of James W. Wadsworth.
Jr.. Of Livingston, who was selected
by Gov. Higgins As his choice. admit
that II they cannot prevent secret
ballot they cannot secure Mr.. wads.
woith's nomination Of the caucus.
On the other hand the adherents Of
Edwin A. Merritt. Jr.. of st. Law.
renee. changed their previous tactics
of claiming that they could defeat
Wadsworth even II they could not
elect Merritt. and began to assert that
they were certain Of votes enough to
secure . secret ballot.
At last accounts the best Informed
on both sides agreed that In An open
ballot or roll call Of republiosn Assem-.
blymen. In the existing condition of
Affairs. Mr.. Wsdsworth would be
elected. Both sides agreed also
that upon . secret ballot the result
would be very different.

Sunday the people of san Francisco to-
day resumed the work Of relieving the

problem with which the officials. mill

deal is that of collecting the refugees
and getting them into the smallest pos
s1Dle number Of large camps Incl
dentally the question of sanitation is
involved, for with people scattered
everywhere and some of them far from
clean habits, It is practically impossible
to prevent them from violating the
regulations. whereas if they can be cen
tralized all can be carefully watched
and the slovenIy ones can be forced to
properly protect their Indications and

the sites of their shelters. 1t is pro-

be allowed to lie about.
Engineer Dunn declares that the
camp will be kept in pefect sanitary
condition and If the male campers do
not wish to turn out every morning as
a cleaning squad they had better ar

been sinking, the walls have been
cracking, and the joists have been

DANGER OF FLOOD.
Follows Landslide Caused by the Re
cent Earthquake.

Sacramento, Cal, May IA special
from Woodland to the Sacramento
Union says.
The threat Of flood in the Capay val
ley resulting from the slide of earth
that has fallen from the nlountainside
and damned the waters Of Cache creek
is growing increasingly serious. It may
be assumed that the slide in question
was in some way the result of the re-
cent earthquake and it is now found to
be 1000 feet wide and to completely
close the water course Ever since the
occurrence the waters have been stead
lily piling up behind it and it was found
by measurements taken this morning
that a depth of 100 feet had been reach
ed If it had been taken at an earlier
stage the dam might have been blown
up with dynamite and the waters re-
leased without damage to any locality.
but it is now too late to do this as It
would but precipitate the food that is
feared The dam is of soft earth and
debris and there is some hope that It
may absorb the water or cut out grad
ually and the water pass in harmless
quantities. Should it give way to the
pressure the results will be very serious
and the country would be flooded. The
towns in immediate danger are Capay,
with a population of something under
400; Rumsey, with population of 200
and Guinda with population Of 350-
all in Capay valley The inhabitants of
these towns are so far impressed with
the possible danger that confronts them
that they have abandoned their houses
and removed their belongings even to
the contents OF the stores to the hill
sides where they are camping with their
families. The railroad company is tax
ing precautions for the protection Of
their line and for the prompt repair Of
any damages that may be caused and
watches have been placed upon all the
YolO bridges to keep the bridges clear
of brush and trees if a break occurs.
