Albany, n. Y, Jan. 29.-The New

the Taft and administration adher

county primaries, the first to be held in
the state this presidential year. This
may make it practically impossible for

Brackett, infuriated by the defeat,
issued statement stigmatizing the
Roosevelt-Taft followers as "spies like
Major Andre" TRAITORS like Benedict

every follower of the governor at to-
nights meeting Of the New York Re-
publican county committee to fight to
the finish against any resolution, even
If it indorses Hughes, that Parsons
may inspire.
Former Governor Odell goes person
ally to New York today to lead the bat
tie to put it through, the American
says.
1t was by vote of 1,54S to 317 that
the federal administratio forces were
victorious at the Fulton and Hamilton
primaries. These counties, with Sara
toga BRACKETS home), Warren and
Montgomery, comprise the Twenty-fifth
congressional district, which chooses
two delegates to the Republican nation
al convention. The election of either
Congressman Cyrus Durey or "Gloves
or Gauntlets" Littauer as one of the
national delegates seems assured.
Bracket will try to save himself by
deal with former Congressman Louis
w. Emerson and Senator James A.
Emerson of Warren, who are sore at
Roosevelt for his contemplated appoint
ment of John F. O'Brien as collector Of

DOODLE DEES MAKE
A GREAT DISCOVERY
Hearst's Alameda Campaigners
Find Six Voters Posing
as independents
Accidental Registration in Nom
existing Party Is Triumph
for Journalist

OAKLAND. March 21.-Inspection of
the Hearst payroll having convinced
his agents that material suitable for
enrolment in the Independence league
actually existed in Alameda county,
CONSERVATION prevailed when the dis
covery was made that practically none
Of II had been registered for voting
purposes under the new law.
Results obtained from inspecting the
lists of the registration clerk in the
county clerks office were compared
with the known fact that six or seven
voting people drew salaries from
Hearst and. therefore. should throw in
their votes with the doodle dees. Since
January /. by actual count, two voters
have registered under the Hearst ban
ner and the problem became acute
when an attempt was made TO find
others.
A comforting solution came today.
when in addition TO the regular In
spector OF the lists a special man was
thrown into the canvass He learned
that six voters accidentally had reg
istered as independents, despite the
fact that there was no such party un-
der the Law.
Thus IL has been established that the
payroll was strong enough TO hold it's
benefciaries TO the task of promuIgst-
ing the doctrines of Hearst as en-
balmed In the records of his privately
incorporated party.

OAKLAND. March 21.-Captain Of
Detectives Petersen, who is on his way
to Portland to bring back Sue Sing.
Chinese girl charged with the theft
of $500 from Hong King. Chinese
merchant, is confronted with a peculiar
situation in his fight for the custody of
the girl. She left Oakland two weeks
ago and went TO the immigration au-
thorities. TO whom she pretended TO be
an alien. subject TO deportation under
the Chinese exclusion act.
The girl wished 70 be sent TO China
that she might escape justice here, ac-
cording to the police. BY causing her
self to be deported, she also would
evade the payment of her fare across
the Pacific. She did not dare TO make
herself subject 10 deportation in San
Francisco. because she was born there
and her photograph and description
were in the possession OF the immigra-
ton authorities. A contest is now on
between the federal authorities and the
Portland police, and the arrival in the
north city OF Captain Petersen prob
ably will establish the legality OF the
police claims on the custody of the
girl. as Petersen has taken with him
the proofs of Miss Sues birth in San
Francisco.
