BEWILDEKMENr IN BAE STATE
Democrats Uncertain as to the Guber-
 atOriaI Nominee.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 22.-Devel- opments in the contest for the democratic gubernator4al nomination had been so rapid within the past twenty-four hours that political leaders in this city tonight confessed that they were bewildered. District Attor- ney John B. Moran is the central figure in the complicated situation.
 The developments to-day dropped Henry M. Whitney from the contest for governor, brought former Governor, William L. Douglas into the field as a conditional candidate, and placed John B. Moran, where he may bring about party harmony or continue a contest against a number of democre tic lead CTS who are opposed to his candidacy. The district attorney's friends cond- dently assert that he will wage light to finish, and that under no circum+- stances will he withdraw.

SPURIOUS MONEY 10
 PROMOTE REVOLUTION
SECRET SERVICE DETECTIVES ARREST PROMINENT MEN IN
 NEW YORK.

Captain George BoyntOn, Former Resi-
 dent Manager of the OrinOcO CerpO-
 ration of Venezuela, and Lewis M.
 Thompson, an Attorney, Both of New
 York, Counterfeit the Standard Silver
 Dollar of Yenezuela--Arrests Regard
 ed as Important.
 New York, Aug. 22.-on charge of making dies to counterfeit the standard silver dollar of Venezuela to finance revolution in that country, secret ser- vice officers to-day arrested Captain George Boynton, former resident man. ager of the Orinoco corporation of Venezuela, and Lewis M. Thompson, an attorney, both of this city Both prisoners were admitted to bail in $5,- 00O Joseph Keller and Sidney A. Kel- Ter, of Keller Brothers, die makers, were also arrested in connection with the case.
 General Antio Paredes, who is said to be the leader of the Venezula inde- pendent party, and who has been dom iciled here for several years with oth- CT revolutionists from Venezuela, said tonight:
 q have never heard of any one by the name of Captain Boynton, nor do l know any general in my country by the name of Salinas. We will fight Castro, but not with those arms If the so-called Captain Boynton had any revolution on foot, I would surely know of it, since, 1t is known I am about to start force against the government"
 The two principals in the case claim that the plan to duplicate Venezuelan money is not counterfeiting. Later after the revolution proved successful, they said, it was expected to legalize this issue of money, both by executive decree, and by act of the Venezuelan Junta. The accused men characterize this plan as a war measure" They also allege that half of the South American uprisings are similarly fl- nanced.
 So important did the federal author ities regard the arrests that Chief 1 Wilkie of the secret service came over from Washington to be personally on the ground when the men were appre- | hended.
 1 According to Chief Wilkie and Chief Flynn, of the New York division of the secret service, Captain Boynton came to New York in June last to finance and lay the preliminary plans for a revolution against President Cas- tro. He had with hi man authoriza- tion, which purported to bear the sig nature of leading revolutionists, ap- pointing him special commissioner to America, with power to do practically anything and everything necessary to | get the movement started.
 Captain Boynton, 1t is stated, has been for years the local and resident
