DOVER IS FIXTURE.
Will Remain Secretary, Despite Con
trary Rumors.

Elmer Dover, secretary Of the republic
can national committee. is q firm be-
lever in the theory that the warm
weather has an insanitary effect on
newspaper stories.
For" said he, after the national
committee Of fifty-three members has
elected me it's secretary and have ac-
cepted the office, recent story indicates
that for some reason that must exist
alone in the head of the writer, 1 am
either to retire or be retired.
The question was settled some time
ago. l am to remain as secretary of the
national committee.
Save for the bare and really unim-
portant fact that 1 favored some one
else than Mr.. Hitchcock for national
chairman. there is no earthly reason
for assuming that / have any feeling
against Mr.. Hitchcock or that he has
against me. We are waiting for his re-
turn, although routine matters are be-
ing disposed of as rapidly as possible.
II shall go to Cincinnati for the noti-
fication to Mr. Taft of his nomination
for the presidency, and will return Wed
nesday. There will, in fact, be no real
work done here. The main work of the
campaign will doubtless be conducted
from TIE uudl ueduqudIleI dt 1NcW 4oIh
and Chicago
Il have heard the rumors that certain
colored leaders have made overtures
to the enemy. 1t doesn't disturb us.
We shall unquestionably have now. as
we have had in the past, the great bulk
of the colored vote. 1t has no reason to
go elsewhere.
This morning. among the prominent
colored leaders who called at headquar-
tiers with suggestions, were Register
Vernon of the Treasury Department,
Prof. Scarborough, president of WILDER
force University of Ohio. and Cyrus
Field Adams. These are only a few OF
the many who have offered assistance
in one way or another"
When asked as to the effect of the
Gompers proclamation. Mr.. Dover said
he had not yet had a chance to read 1t.
He had just arrived and was busy with
accumulated correspondence. He will
read it carefully and then may have
something to say.
Mr.. Dover seemed cool. calm and COM
Portable, Notwithstanding the hot
weather, and neither in expression nor
demeanor did he give any evidence of
uneasiness or the existence of strained
relations with any one.

being member of the subcommittee
which will select the man who is to con-
duct the campaign. Former Gov William

today after his visit to Newport. where
yesterday he addressed the members OF

hours later before the President and mem
bers of his party boarded the cutter for
the Roosevelt pier.
The President expressed himself as

August Eberhard Says Aunt Was
Murdered by Persons Who Fired
From Ambush.

NEW YORK. July 23.-August Eber-
hard. nephew of Ottillie Eberhard. the
Austrian woman who was shot to death
Saturday evening near Hackensack, was
taken into custody today by the police of
paterson. NJ ]. Eberhard was found
living on a lawn in front of a farmhouse
in the Totowa section of the city. He
was suffering from a wound in one leg,
which the police believe he might have
received at the time his aunt and cousin
were shot.
The young man. it was said. when ar
rested admitted his identity. The police
are further examining Eberhard in an
effort to get his story of his disappear
ance from the scene of the fatal shooting.
Eberhard denies any part in the tragic
death of his aunt, and maintains that he
himself narrowly escaped death at the
hands of her slayers. According to his
story. he and his aunt and cousin were
fired upon from ambush while they were
walking down the railroad track in
Hackensack, and moment after his aunt
fell he was struck on the head and made
unconscious. From that moment until
this morning, he declares, he has no rec
objection of anything that had taken
place. When he came TO himself, he told
the officers, he was wandering in the
PreakneSS mountains to the north OF
Paterson. and there. this morning, he was
set upon by gang of Italians, beaten,
robbed, and shot in the leg.
Think He Knows.
The police however still hold that Eber-
hard knows more of the crime than he
has told, and they are continuing their
investigation on the theory that he and
others were involved in the tragedy. Be-
fore Eberhard was takne to Hachensack
after he had been arraigned in Paterson
on a charge of being a fugitive from
justice, he was closely questioned by the
local detectives.
The prisoner adhered stoutly to his
first story.
1t was quite apparent from Eberhard',
appearance and the condition of his cloth
ing that he had spent much, if not ALL Of
the time since his disappearance in wan
dering through the woods. He was dis
heveed, unshaven and hollow eyed. nj:
clothing was torn and soiled and he wore
no stockings. He had no money.
