NEW YORK FOR HUGHES
Republican State Committee Adopts
Resolution Endorsing Governor for
President - Pr,cipitates Row.

New York, May 11.sA resolution en-
dorsing Governor Hughes for the ire
publican nomination for president,
which was offered by former Governor
Odell, at today's session Of the repub-
lican. state committee, was laid on
the table by vote of 80 to A.. In NOV
ing that Odell's motion, be tabled,
Chairman Woodruff said:
II move that this resolution be tabled
on account of the gentleman who in
troduced it, and by reason Of his well
known antipathy to the president OF the
United States"
i woodruff added that the adoption of
such an expression by the committee
would place the governor in an awk-
ward position. especially as this was no
time to adopt such resolutions. Odelt
took exceptions to Woodruff's state
ments, and declared that he believed
this to be very oIportune time for the
expression of an opinion by the repub-
lican organization of the state Of New
York, as to its choice for the next
presidential noplination. His introduc-
ton Of the resolution, he declared, was
without guile.
The introduction Of the resolution
was received in silence by the COM
mittee, most of the members appear
ing astonished. Cdells expression of
endorsement Of Hughes, contained the
statement that Roosevelt having stated
his purpose to decline the renomina-
tion, 1t thus became necessary to se-
lect some one whose -probity, honesty
and faithfulness will appeal with the
same force and effect to the people as
would Roosevelt's. The resolution was
then adopted endorsing Hughes

spirators Against Cabrera, Released
Never Reason for Their Deten-
tion.
washington, May 1.-THE Guate-
malan government has released g. L
sLullen, OF Little Rock, Ark, and Mar
shall f. Stamms, Of Cincinnati, the
two Americans arrested in Guatemala
City on charge Of alleged completely
in the attempted assassination of Pres
ident Estrada Cabrera. Advices to this
effect were received at the state de-
partment today from Philip Brown. the
charge OF the American legation at
Guatemala City. Apparently the only
reason there was for the arrest Of the
Americans was that they had house
not far away from the scene Of the dy-
ramiting, and when their domicile was
searched, explosives were found. The
Americans had been in Guatemala
number Of years, engaged in the tim-
ber business and contracting Of vari-
ous kinds. The explosives were used
In their business.
It is stated here that the revolutions
3ary spirit in Guatemala is greatly
feared, and that the Cabrera govern
ment is every day resorting to the use
of force in ordSr to uphold its control.
1t is believed the decision Of Mexico
not to uever diplomatic relations will
strengthen the Cabrera party for a
time. but there is no indication that
the revolutionary movement has been
quelled.

Governor Cummins has signed the
bill permitting the sale Of portion OF
the channel of the Des Moines river
within Ottumwa which no longer is
needed by the river. This bill re-enacted
the old Simms law respecting sale OF
abandoned channels and Islands, but
only as to the Ottumwa property. This
law was regarded as Objectionable and
on recommendation Of the secretary OF
state new law was substituted for 1t
by the assembly of 1906. Because OF
the Simms law property worth between
100000 and 100000 is involved in ltl-

ERuPTloNs ARE INCREASING.
New craters Open in Both Mounts e.

Messina, May 11.-New craters have
opened in Mounts Etna and Stromboli,
whose erputions are increasing. OBJ
vervatories at Messina and Catania
continue to register earth shocks, but
they are very light. The alarm of the
population of the island is growing.
Smoke and flames issuing from the
main crater of Mount Etna, are visible
for long distance.
A portion Of the main crater of stom-
boil has fallen, causing a more active
eruption. 1t seems to have affected
the sea, which is most agitated near
the island. Scientists have expressed
the opinion that possibly a submarine
crater may have opened and that it is
causing the aquatic disturbance.

WEATHER CONDITIONS The KEY
Responsible for Irregular Crop and
Trade Reports.

Responsible for Irregular Crop and
Trade Reports.
Z New York, May 11.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Weather conditions as for five weeks
mast are still the key. to the irregular
crop and trade reports coming from q
wide area Of country. Freezing wealth
er and snow have hurt trade and re-
tarded crop preparations and growth
In the northwest, while low tempera-
lures and heavy rains effect southern
distribution and crop growth and meas
lrably influence distribution in the
central west.
Despite the between seasons period
and the slowness Of retail trade and
collections, there are few complaints
coming from jobbing and wholesale
lines; except that filing in orders are
light and that retail stocks are report
ed heavy. One explanation of this is
that jobbers and wholesalers had a
very heavy volume of business booked,
deliveries upon which have been slow.
and the lull has enabled the latter
branches to catch UP measurably with
demands. Demands from wholesalers
therefore, while smaller than some
months ago, have been sufficient to
keep all actively engaged, and crop and
trade developments from now on will
he closely watched to allow of q pro-
per appreciation OF future needs Of fall
trade.
Other developments Of the week have
been encouraging. The iron and the
steel industries are actively engaged.
current production is, in fact, at the
maximum. and other industries, par
ticularly building, are being actively
pushed.
Higher prices for cereals, cotton and
other natural products are result Of
bad crop reports and broadening spec
ulative interest. European crop reports
are little better than our own, ani
partly explain higher quotations Of
fered for wheat and corn.
Cotton advanced 35 points for spor,
60 points for May, and so points for
July on continued favorable advices
and reports on demand for cotton
Soed for tall delivery. Some Of the
