HAVE KNIFE OUT
FOR Mr.. HUGHES
COMBINATIONS WANT A MAN
THEY CAN HANDLE
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS NOT
UNITED
Present Governor Is Popular with the
Masses, and Decision to Accept
denomination Is Satisfactory
to Some Factions

By Associated Press.
NEWBURGH, N. Y, July 25.-For-
mer Governor B. B. Odell, state COM
mitteeman from the Twentieth district,
said today concerning the announce
ment of the candidacy of Governor
Hughes for denomination:
Governor Hughes statement is no
surprise to me. 1t is exactly what 1
have been predicting for the past six
months. There is no question that
the organization will accept Mr..
Hughes, because to turn him down
would cause the withdrawal of inde-
pendent voters from the support of
the Republican state ticket.
at is a fact also that in every To-
cality the so-called leaders, in my
opinion, would prefer someone else;
but up to this time there has been no
capitalization of sentiment in favor
any particular candidate in opposition.
Much as we may desire, we cannot
close our eyes to the fact that there
are dissensions in the party lines.
Ambitious persons who are anxious to
succeed Senator Platt will not look
on the candidacy of Governor Hughes
with any favor. They would prefer
someone who would openly espouse
their cause. Governor Hughes holding
aloof from any combinations or align
ment with any of the factions in the
party would make him more generally
satisfactory to the voters than any
other man whose name has been under
consideration. Just how his nomina-
ton would affect the energetic support
of those who look after the details Of
a. campaign 1t is too early to predict" "

ngslongshoremen from interfering with

company and the Alaska Pacific Steam
ship company, or the men they have
employed in the moving of freight to

terstate trade and that they aimed to
monopolize and control this necessary
labor at the ships and were using in
timidation and force to carry the con-
spiracy into effect
This, under the Sherman antitrust
act, was held to be illegal, and as the
Seattle police were alleged to have re-
fused protection the company asked
for the interference of the court The
companies alleged that members of the
union had forcibly entered the steam
ships Buckman and Watson and forced
men to desist from work. Argument on
the temporary injunction is set for

BRYAN ASKS JOHNSON TO
ASSIST IN COMING FIGHT

ST. PAUL, July 25.-Gov. John A..
Johnson of Minnesota today received
a letter from William ]. Bryan asking
him to meet Mr.. Bryan at Fairview,
Lincoln, at the earliest date possible, to
confer relative to the presidential CAM
paign. Mr.. Bryan asked Governor
Johnson when he could be available for
speaking purposes.

requests that have been received for
Governor Johnson for speaking dates
in the various states. He says the de-
mand in this respect is general, and he
hopes the Democratic governor will be
able to give them attention.
Mr.. Bryan refers to the visit made
him at Lincoln by the delegation to
Denver. He was told then that Mr..
Johnson would be available when
wanted, and he now requests his pres
ence at Fairview that details concern
ing the campaign may be talked over.
Governor Johnson is on a lecturing
tour, but the contents of Mr.. Bryan's
letter were wired to him. 1t is ex-
pected that on it's receipt by Governor
johnson he will go to Fairview. In the
absence of Governor Johnson the text
of the letter was not given out.

BANKER WALKER
SENT TO PRISON
MAXIMUM SENTENCE NOT TO
EXCEED Fl YEARS
AMOUNT TAKEN ABOUT HALF A
Full Confession Said to Have Been
Made by Man Arrested in Mex
ico-New York sharpers
Involved
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn. July 25.-Wil-
liam F. Walker, who looted the Saw
ings Bank of New Britain of more than
half million dollars worth of securi-
ties, pleaded guilty on four counts OF
the indictment in the superior court
here today.
He was sentenced to not less than
one year nor more than five years on
the first count and not more than five
years on each of the three other counts.
Sentence is to take effect on the ex-
piration of each previous sentence un-
der the indeterminate sentence law.
This will make the entire penalty not
more than twenty-one years.
The four counts represented an en-
bezzlement of bank property amount
ing to $4,000. The securities were
mostly high class railroad bonds. The
original indictment contained thirteen
counts appertaining to bank funds and
six additional counts charging the em-
bezzlement of the securities of the Con-
necticut Baptist convention, amount
ing to about 10000.
The indictment which was read, how
ever, made no allusion to nine counts
relating to bank property or to the en-
bezzlements from the Baptist church.
AS the latter counts were not men
toned IN the writ or eXtradlIlOn, walk
er could not be placed on trial for this
crime.
Immediately upon the pronouncing
of sentence Walker, guarded by three
deputy sheriffs, was taken to the coun-
ty jail to await the preparation of
commitment papers upon which he will
be delivered to the state penitentiary.
The court proceedings occupied scarce
ly half an hour.
No iey tIn6prGtnnd f0 have made
a complete confession, which embraces
the statement that sharpers in New
York, in whose hands he was at the
time, sent the dispatch in February,
1907, which made it appear that he had
been killed by the cars there.

District Attorney Filed-Argu-
meuts in Case Finished
REMOVAL FROM OFFICE DEMANDED

ELIZABETHTOWN, n. Y, May %.
Closing arguments on the charges OF
dereliction preferred by a committee
headed by William f. King against Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York
county. were heard here today by Com
missioner Hand. In addition to the oral
arguments counsels for both sides sub
mitted briefs.
Jerome Is Flayed.
The brief submitted by Franklin
Pierce, counsel for the compliments de-
clared that every thoughtful man knows
that conditions in New York county are
hundred times more dangerous to the
welfare of society than murder itself,
and that "a graver calamity could not
visit the people of New York than the
continuation of the evil example and the
disgracefuI conduct of William Travers
jerome in the Office of public prosecutor
of New York county"
Mr.. Pierce argued that even in the in
vestigation of these charges the district
attorney has conducted himself in a man
ner warranting his removal from office,
by threatening witnesses with criminal
prosecution.
Left Street Railways Alone.
Mr.. Pierce takes the ground that the
district attorneys failure to investigate
and prosecute the alleged Jury finding"
in the Metropolitan Street railway cases
was a case of neglect of duty, wholly in
excusable.
Shook Dice in Restaurant.
The brief concluded with reference to
the allegation that Mr.. Jerome advised
E. H. Thomas to employ certain at
torney when Thomas was about TO be
indicted in the banking cases; that he
violated the law against gambling by
shaking dice at a dollar a throw in a
restaurant with the sons of Thomas T.
Ryan, and that he dined with William
Montgomery, a banker who was under
indictment. and talked over the project
of trapping another man-an alleged
public officer-into the commission OF
crime"
