Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-30


 None of the prominent local drug gists would say much concerning the circular but it was evident from their remarks that they were very indig- nant at the action of the officers and the executive committee. They bit terly denounced the action of the men in trying to use the association for the political ends of any candi- date. It seems to be the general supposition that President Walker is mainly responsible for the circular.
 Charles w. Perkins, treasurer of the Buckingham pharmacy. said he thought it was very indiscreet on the part of the officers. But really 1t is no action of the association" he con- tinued. We were not asked about it and no one has the right to sey we support such an action when not word has been said about it. think every druggist should be al. lowed to go ahead and vote for what. ever candidate he chooses without the association or its officers suggesting a choice. I think it is very bad pol icy, to say the least"
 What part the druggists reall, played in it was shown by the fact that James W. Cone, the Exchange place druggist. had not even heard of the circular. No ono has said anything about il to me and I have as yet received no circular. I do not believe that the association should come out open ly forlany candidate and think it as 2 body should keep out of politics"
 c. L. Dexter thinks it is abou time that the association should fig ure in politics, but thinks 1t shoult be careful as to. the manner 1t zoe. about it. He thought that all mem bers should be first sounded before any booming" was done.
 Clarke H. Newton. manager of tn, Apothecaries' Hall Co, said he dit not as yet care to express an opinion on the circular.
 Joseph T. Smith. the Brooklyn druggist. thinks it very bad prece dent for the association to establish in view of the fact that one or tw. men looked to be responsible for thl circulars.
 Although the druggists. beinl business men, do not care to expres themselves forcibly on the matter

Mayor Mcclellan Gains
in the Recount
Secures Votes Where Frauds
We're Alleged and Hearst
Receives Setback
SPECIAL DIspATcH TO THE CALL


NEW YORK. June 4.-Mayor Nc
Clellan today gained IA votes in the
20 boxes opened during the forenoon
session of the recount before Judge
Lambert in the supreme court. He
actually gained 26 votes, but his op-
ponent also gained H. The contest
ants gain has thus been reduced to
109 as the result of a recount of 81
ballot boxes, which percentage in a
total of 1.94S boxes would not be
enough to overcome McClellan's plural
ity of 1884. The Hearst people are
much disappointed.
Fourteen of the boxes opened during
the day were from election districts in
the third assembly district, of which
the late Patrick J. Ryder was Tam
many leader, and six were of the
eighth assembly district, of which
Timothy p. Sullivan is Tammany leader.
The contestant alleged that great
frauds had been committed in these
districts. but the recount shows that
Mcclellan was not given all he had
won.
Greater celebrity now marks the re-
count, owing to the fact that the hith-
erto idle jurors are allowed to enter
into the recounting, acting as tally
keepers and otherwise busying them
selves under Judge Lambert's direc-
ton.

CHICAGO, June 4.-The full re-
publican national committee will
meet tomorrow at II o'clock and be-
gin hearings on contests involving 22o
seats in the. convention. The number
OF contests filed is SO large that their
settlement has become the most i'm
portant of the preconvention proceed
ings. The nomination of the repub-
lican candidate for the presidency
hinges absolutely on the decision of
the members of the national commit
tee and the subsequent approval of
that decision by the credentials com
mittee of the convention.
Half Of the contests decided in favor
of Secretary Taft would result in his
winning on the first ballot, while fail

timony that the amount of securities
involved was some $1,000, ,000 which
seemed to show that Schiff, in with
drawing, had taken care of. the FIRMS
friends >who had invested In the stock
One of the amusing features of
Schiff's testimony was his assertion
that in Metropolitan financial affairs
William c. Whitney was '.the un-
crowned king who ruled the financial
destinies of the Metropolitan. though
he was neither director nor an off,
cial. This Characterization of the man
who had permitted Schiff to win mill
lions in commissions and to take a
fifth of all the stock of Metropolitan
securities for floating the remainder of
the stock caused a smile In the court
room.
Schiff denied that unusual steps were
taken to make market for Metropoli-
tan securities.
Schiff was the only witness exam
ined today Walter Lutgen, partner
of August Belmont, was expected, but
was out of the city. He will testify
next Tuesday when the case Is re-
sumed.

Case and Scores Family

REDWOOD CITY, June 4.-Loren
Coburn, who has been engaged in
legal battles in the courts of the
county for the last decade. sent a COM
mullication to one of the local papers
today on the motives of some of his
nearest relatives. Coburn. whose es-
tate Is valued at over "a million dol
lars. was recently adjudged an incom-
petent person by the superior court,
and his nephew, Carl ]. Coburn, was
appointed as guardian by Judge Buck
From that decision Coburn,s attor-
neys have appealed and by means of
an Injunction have kept Coburn from
exercising the duties of guardianship.
More recently Coburn has started a
suit against the Glenwood lumber com
pany, claiming that the corporation is
using his property and shipping chutes
at. Pigeon Point by force and without
permission from him, for which acts
he asks for heavy damages
Relative to the actions of his own
relatives in the recent legal proceed
ings to have him declared Incompetent
Coburn says:
II am like many another man who.
after acquiring property by his own
efforts, finds his relatives sitting
around like a lot OF vuItures, waiting
for him to pass away, and when he
does not do so soon enough to suit
them, try some other method of putting
him out of the way. such as railroad
ing him to an insane asylum and then
taking possession Of property that he
has acquired by means of years Of
hard work"

Surprised by Wealthy Husband
While She Entertains
Clubman
,pEcIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAT

PITTSBURG, June EAST end soci-
ETY. circles heard with amazement today
that last Monday night Mrs. Mary Hurt,
wife of Harry A. Hurt, a wealthy pro-
moter, and Franklin Lydick. clubman
and prominently Identified with the
Carnegie natural gas company, a sub
sidiary of the Carnegie steel company,
had been surprised together by Mrs.
Hurts husband.
Tremendous pressure was brought to
bear and the story was suppressed until
today, when Mrs Hurt and Lydick were
to have been given hearings before Al
derman Louis Alpern on charges. The
hearings were postponed, and it is
probable that the charges will not be
pressed, although Hurt declares he will
bring suit for divorce.
The couple, it is alleged, were together
at the home of friend of Mrs Hurt
when the husband and officers broke
into the room. Mrs. Hurt has broken
down completely and is so unnerved
that her friends fear she will attempt
suicide.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Jacob H
Schiff, head of the banking firm OF
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., today told on the
witness stand how he made Thomas
Fortune Ryan disgorge more than
$7,00o,000 when he found that the
Metropolitan securities company was
not what it had been painted.
1t was one of the most surprising
revelations of Wall street finance
that has been heard outside of the
grand jury room.

column, the representatives of other
candidates have pooled issues in most
of the cases, and as allies will urge
their claims before the national COM
mittee.
MOST CONTESTS IN SOUTH
The proceedings. therefore, largely
will be resolved into a Taft and anti
Taft controversy. So far as the south
is concerned (and most of the contests
are in states from south of the Mason
and Dixon line), the interests of the
allies are being looked after by Major
f. c.. Bryan of Washington, d. c. He
arrived in Chicago today and an
nounced that he would base his argu-
ments chiefly on the contention that
in most of the southern states the Taft
sources had disqualified the negro
voters from participating in the state
and district conventions, and the allies.
delegates had been selected at conven-
tions from which no class or race had
been barred.
If the program mapped out by Ma
tional Chairman Harry S. New to gov
ern the proceedings of the committee
in hearing the contests is carried out
little oportunity for fine arguments or
oratorical effort will be presented. This
program will be submitted to the COM
mittee for action Immediately on the
session being called to order tomor-
row. 1t will provide for daily meet
ings to begin at 10 a. m. and con-
tinue to p. M, without recess for
luncheon.
ELEVEN STATE CONTESTS
Thirty minutes for each side will be
allowed in state contests, involving the
seating of four delegates at large and
their alternates in each case. There
are IL such contests. the states being
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina and Virginia.
The remaining delegates in contest
are from scattering districts in the
states named and Arkansas, Kentucky,
Missouri. Ohio, Alaska, Arizona and
Pennsylvania. Fifteen minutes on each
side are to be allowed in the argument
of each of the district contests. Chair
man New stated today that if this
schedule was followed and no delays
resulted it would require la hours to
dispose of the contests without taking
into consideration the time required for
deliberations of the committee.
There are some states where the is
sues in some of the districts are identi-
cal with the contentious over the dele
gates at large and some time therefore
may be saved in disposing of such
cases. 1t is not likely that the COM
