1t Was a Perfectly Friendly Contest
Based on Geographical Considera-
tons, Not fractional.

Special From STAFF Correspondent
BALTIMORE, August 1.-THE promised
harmony among the republicans over the
gubelnatorial nomination materalized in
gratifying manner when last night at IL
o'clock Mr.. Phillips Lee Goldsborough
withdrew his candidacy in favor of Mr.
George r. Gather, and the republican lead
ers decided to make the nomination of the
latter unanimous
During yesterday afternoon and evening
1t was a friendly contest between Mr. Gath
er and Mr.. Goldsborough. At no time did
the proceedings take on any aspect of Bit
terness, but only showed a generous rivalry
among the friends of the two men most
prominently mentioned for the honor. In
deed 1t was rivalry of section rather than
faction, more geographical than personal.
The eastern shore wante Mr. Goldsbor-
ough. Baltimore city, while not opposed
TO Mr.. Goldsborough, felt more inclined to
name Mr.. Gather.
Collector William F. Stone Of Baltimore
city and Representative-elect jackson of the
eastern shore figured prominently in the ne
gotiations in behalf CT their respective can
didates. There was no attempt at bossism
by either. Representative Mudd was also
a factor In the result. Mr.. Stone rather
held aloof for q while, insisting that the
delegates should be given opportunity to
express their wishes Mr.. jackson gathered
MS eastern Shore men around him and held
them Intact. Finally late in the afternoon
Mr.. Stone announced that he thought Balti-
more city would be the battle-ground this fall,
and, believing that Mr.. Gathers splendid
record as president of the board of estima ties,
as we'll as his personal popularity and pro-
nounced ability, would draw to the support
of the republican ticket the independent
votes, he urged that Mr.. Gather should be
nominated. Collector Stone and City Chair
man Platt opened headquarters at the Rem
merit for Mr.. Gather. On the floor above
Representative Jackson and State Chairman
Parran maintained headquarters and re-
ceiyed the Goldsborough adherents.
At IL o'clock last night, after frequent
conferences with his friends, Mr. Goldsbor-
ough issued the following statement:
Il have, decided not to be a candidate.
have never been an ayowed candidate,
and haze on all occasions announced that
would not accept the nomination unless
1t came to me by practical una nimity 1t
is reported to me that the conditions are
such that the nomination would not now
likely come to me in that way This be-
as heretofore announced, and, therefore, /
shall not be a candidate.
Il am grateful to the friends who volun-
tarily espoused my cause, who were with
me from the beginning and are now So
and are willing TO now support me If
wished it.
Mr.. Gather, TO whom the nomination
will likely go, is well equipped for the
governorship, a man of splendid character
and most excellent ability. His nomina-

MUCH DEPENDS ON ATTITUDE OF
RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERs.

NEW YORK, August IA strike of the
railroad telegraphers would precipitate one
OF the greatest labor struggles in the his
tory Of the country. Every railroad sys-
tenn would be paralyZed, and other labor
organizations allied 10 the railroad teleg-
Taphers might readily be drawn into the
conflict.
IL was admitted by railroad men in con-
hdence yesterday that the danger of such
a crisis is most acute. Almost in whis-
peTs they spoke of the grave possibilities
Involved So delicate is the situation they
admit, that TO avert such crisis it must
be handled with the utmost care
Incident That Caused Alarm.
When railroad men here learned last
night that five railroad telegraphers had
been discharged by the Erie railroad for
refusing to send commercial messages the
news was received with alarm. 1t was
feared that this action might precipitate
the struggle which all concerned have
been trying to avert

to reach the camp Of the rebel Moors.
An official note issued this afternoon says
that Gen. Drude, In command Of the French

not asked for reinforcements. and that
therefore the statement that the govern

more troops is incorrect

GEORGE r. GATHER.

president of the second branch Of the
city council he made an efficient public
official. He has for some years been re-
garded as one of the leading and most
forceful men In the republican party in
Maryland. Mr.. Gather is married and
lives at 6O2 Cathedral street He also has
a country home at Gainesville. lie is an
Episcopalian and is member OF the leading
clubs.
Mr.. Gathers fellow members of the bar
speak of him as a strong lawyer. The
state of Maryland recovered 1925 900 and
an income of about $50 0G0 a year because
of his legal strength. This was in the suit
for which he was engaged special coun-
sci for the state against the Northern Cen
trail railway to enforce the payment OF the
gross-receipt tax. The decision in the city
court was against the state, but Counselor
Gather brought II before the court OF APP
peals and received the decision. The rail
way took it to the Supreme Court of the
United States. and again Mr.. Gather won

way company had the best of legal talent.

now pays the state annually about $50, 900

SENDING MACHINES
Telegraph Strike May Force Their In
stallation.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE striking
telegraph operators may be enacting one OF
the tragedies which the introduction OF
labor-saving machinery has brought about.
The Postal has a machine which takes the
place of eight operators and needs but a
single wire for its operation. The Western
Union has a dozen machines in use, each
of which does the work of four operators.
Ii is admitted that the strike will be the

raphers in their employ refused to assist
the telegraph companies the issue was mol
forced.
Officially the officers of these railroads
refused to recognize that such request
had been made to the railroad operators.
The messages which promised to be a
cause of dispute and possibly of a general
strike were promptly recalled ana their
transmission was otherwise provided for.
None of the telegraphers was discharged
nor was the matter taken up with them
in any form.
The attitude of the officers of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, as voiced by
Bevidere Brooks, superintendent of the
eastern division, who is acting as spokes-
man for the company, is causing the rail-
roads the keenest concern.
Railroads Bound by Contracts.
"They are under contract with this COM
pany to handle commercial messages when
called upon to do under certain circum-
stances" he said yesterday. Presumably
they will live up to their contract. l know
that in our case we promptly discharged
men who refused to handle wires. just as
any man would whose teamster refused to
drive the wagon assigned to him.
That the contract with the telegraph
company provides for the handling of COM
mercial business when called upon to do so
was admitted by railroad men, but for the
Western Union to force such issue at
this time was declared by them to be the
height of folly.
With membership OF more than 40 0OO,
the Order of Railroad Photographers has a
surplus in it's treasury of 81 100000, accord
ing to the last report, standing in this re
spect third among the labor organZa tons
Of the entire country. The organization is
believed to include virtually all of the OPP
orators connected with railroad work, to be
highly organized from coast to coast and to
be wholly within the control of the ma
tional officers.
What came very close to precipitating a
crisis in New York was the sending of a
batch of messages to the railroad teleg-
raphers by Manager Ackerly of the West
ern Union branch office in the Grand Cen
trail station. He had been swamped by the
press of matter on a force almost depict ed
orators had walked out, leaving him almost
alone to handle the great mass of bust
ness that is turned over to this office
Railroad Telegraphers Rebel.
With a promptitude that took him off his
feet the railroad telegraphers refused to
handle the messages, and threatened to
strike at once if the matter was pressed.
The case was reported to P. E. Crowley,
assistant general manager of the Central,
who lost no time in having the messag es
returned to the Western Union officers.
Mr.. Crowley is determined that no issue
shall be made of the matter if by any
means it can be avoided. He realizes that
the situation is extremely ticklish and is
determined at almost any cost not to In
volve the stockholders of the road and the
public, even at the cost of violating the
contract.
He would not authorize such statement
but it was made perfectly clear that this is
his attitude. He is hopeful that before it
may become necessary to bring the ques-
ton to a settlement the whole trouble will
be over and decision be rendered unnec-
essary.

Sketch of Geo. R. Gather.

Mr.. George r. Gather is forty-nine years

fession.
In the late SOS Mr.. Gather formed part
nership with Mr.. William S. Bryan. jr., now

tinued several years. Later he entered into
a partnership with Judge Harry NJ. ca
baugh, now associate Judge in the District
of Columbia courts. still later he became
member of the firm of McComas, Gather
and Greenbaum. his associates being for
mer United States Senator NOW judge)
Louis e. McComas and Mr.. Leon E. Green
baum. When Judge McComas was APP
pointed to the bench the last time he re-
tired from the firm. which is now Gather

Judge Clabaugh was attorney general
of the state when he was selected ior the
bench and the late Gov. Lloyd Lowhdes

dent of the second branch of the city
council succeeded to the mayoraity. The

Good Feeling Prevailed.

The utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed among the delegates they as
sembled for the business meeting. and
there was a dominant note of hope and
confidence in all of their talk OF the coming
campaign. Every one laid stress upon the
harmonious state of affairs, and seemed to
derive therefrom great expectations of good
team work for the campaign.
