Nine. Anna Gould spent his first morn.
ing in London in visiting the registry
Offices In an endeavor to find loop
hole by which his marriage may be
carried out without that delay which
under the law of England usually ac-
companies such ceremonies.
At all the registry Offices he re-
ceived the same response, namely.
that the only means recognized by the
law to avoid fortnight's residence
here before marriage Is the special IL
cense which can be issued only by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. AS Nine.
Gould Is divorced it is not believed
that this license can be obtained. The
archbishop has been opposed to the
remarrying of divorced persons, and
invariably has refused such special IL
censes. If no special license is grant
ed the prince will make his residence
in London for the necessary Is days.
The prince and Nine. Gould have
given strict orders that no cards be
brought to them. The prince is re-
ported to have become a Protestant
1t is reported that after the wedding
The prince and princess will retire to

CONTEST IN. CAUCUS
Browne Faction In Rutland Beat the
Burke Crowd.

Rutland, June 21.-About the hot
test caucus that this city has ever
seen took place last night when some
200 democrats gathered to elect dele
gates to the state, district and county
conventions. There we're two tickets,
one to support Thomas II. Browne for
national committeeman and j. Walter
Lyons for delegate to the democratic
national convention at Denver and
the other for James e. Burke of West
Rutland for both honors. After re-
peated arguments which almost devel.
oped into blows, the Browne.Lyons
delegates were elected but the other
faction will contest their right to take
seats.
The trouble began with the selec-
ton of chairman Of the caucus. Az
ter Is minutes of arguing, during
which the Burke sympathizers swarm
ed on the platform and nearly mobbed
those there, claiming that they were
not being given fair deal, the tenn
porary chairman, William Welch,
chairman of the democratic city COM
mittee. was made presiding officer.
The voting went on by ballot for an
hour without excitement but when the
time for counting came trouble was
brewing again. A big fat democrat
sat astride the ballot box while over
100 men, representing the Burke fac
ton clamored for representation on
the platform while the counting was
goin on. They were finally allowed
one representative who simply looked
on while Peter f. McManus and Alder.
man Henry A. Barrett, both of whom
are in the Browne-Lyons delegation.
did the counting.
The Burke man asked leave to YER
ify the count but this was denied him
and when the chairman announced
that the Browne faction which is
headed by Mr.. Lyons, had defeated
Burke's delegates, headed by Thomas
p. Bragg, by vote Of 131 to 1902 a
howl went up from the Burke crowd
who claimed that there were only 165
names which were checked off on the
list as having voted.
A call came for the list but e. II.
Lawson and c. w. Pennington, both
Browne men, had left and in the ex.
citement which followed everybody
went away without thinking to ad
journ the caucus. Mr.. Burke and r.
II. Browne exchanged hot words, the
former calling the latter crook and
they left the hall shaking their fists
at each other.
