All the stars of the Republican con-
stellation in the local political sky
gathered last night at the New Audi

late In the evening, they went to be
put on exhibition. About 800 people
were in the hall and a hundred of those
were women. Others We're Democrats,
among them Frank NJ. McDermit, who
ran for the Democratic nomination for
State Senator.
The event of the evening was the
harmony scene between Senator Everett
Colby and Assistant Prosecutor Thomas
L. Raymond. The Senator and AS
semblyman Colgate did not appear until
late.
They got into the hall while Charles
F. Dana, of New York, was talking
The audience gave the New Idea men
a greeting that interrupted the orator
then and again when the Senator APP
peared on the stage.
The elimination came when Mr.. Ray
mond introduced his whilom rival Only
one thing could give Mr.. Raymond
more pleasure, he said, than to intro
duce Senator Colby; that would be for
Mr.. Colby to introduce him. This
brought out applause, and the Senator,
when he began to speak, told how de-
feat proves a man, and in the case OF
Mr.. Raymond proved him a mag

The senator made a hit when he
referred to the New Idea people, in
view of the fact that many of them
were young lawyers, as Cubs"
The 'pertinency was furthered when
the senator told a story about Tenney,
the New York baseball player, who
played on the Brown University team
with the senator. When Tenney, in a
game with Harvard, knocked a ball out
of the grounds and through a church
window, he remarked: Get a needle
and thread" The senator said the re-
mark required to him yesterday while
considering the Democratic platform,
which he had tried to piece together
with a mental thread and needle, but
found he couldn't do 1t.
Morgan Once a Democrat.
The first speaker was William Fell

who for the first time let 1t be known,
by personal statement. that he had not

said last night. however, that he had
not always been a Republican, but
''opened his eyes" after he came to
New Jersey. He was a Democrat dur

ALMOST KILLED
BY BIRD WHOSE
NEST HE'D ROBBED
Cormorants Assailed Boy While
He Was Swimming Away.
May Lose Sight.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 10.-James Con-
nors. the 1~5-year-old son of Rufus f.
Connors, a rancher near Olema, Is In
a critical condition as a result of an
experience which he had while robbing
a cormorant's rookery on the ocean
shore. Connors, in company with Law
renee Fisher. a lad of about the same
age, went to the beach near WILLOW
Camp for the purpose of gathering the
eggs of various sea birds.
Although the tide was running swift
ly he managed to reach h rock and
proceeded to fill his egg sack from the
nests of the shags, regardless of the
shrill cries of anger from the mother
birds. As he entered the water for his
return trip they swooped down upon
him, plucking at his face and attempt
ing to rescue their young.
The boy continued swimming. When
midway in the channel the attack of
the parent shags became so furious
that the lad attempted to break the
cord about his neck and allow the
young birds to go free, but he was un-
able to do SC.
The attacking cormorants continued
to peck at his face until he was within
a few feet of the land, when they rose
in the air and circled over his head
until Fisher cut the young ones from
his neck.
Connors lost consciousness. Besides
several cuts on the face and neck, the
lad sustained an injury to his right
eye from the beaks of the angry cor
morants which is liable to ruin his
sight for life.
