At Request of District Attorney His Counsel Gables
 Banker.
ABOARD CUNARD LINER
Government Officer Will Not Divulce Grounds for Request
 Made.

New York, Feb 6.-At the request of United States District Attorney Stimson. Albert B Boardman. counsel for Charles w Morse. cabled his client late to-day at Liverpool asking Morse to return to this country Mir. Board man believes that the banker will take passage on the first steamer sail ing west after the arrival at Queens town or Liverpool. of the Cunard line steamer Campania. upon which, he says, Morse sailed from here last Sat urday The Campania is due at Queenstown on Friday.
 Attorney Boardman's action in ca bling his client followed an hours con- ference with MT. Stimson who has charge of the investigation. before the federal grand jury, of the recent con duct of certain national banks MT. Boardman had been subpoenaed to an pear before the grand jury to-day, sun- poeedly, he said, to tell what he knew about Morses connection with certain banking institutions. The jury, how ever, did not reach MT Boardman's testimony and sent word for him to return tomorrow In the meantime MT Boardman had been closeted with the federal district attorney. As he left the federal building MT Board man was asked whether he had said that he could produce Morse should that gentleman be wanted.
 No he replied. but at the re- quest of United States District Attor- ney Stimson I have cabled Mir. Morse at Liverpool to come back. and I have reason to believe that he will return at once. He is now on the Campa- mia
 Asked why MT. stimson had request cd him to return, Mr. Boardman said T do not know. but suppose if is because a good many people here want him..
 Mir. Stimson would say nothing as to why he desired the presence here of tha man who, after he had organized the American Ice company and the Consolidated Steamship company and was reported to be worth S20 GOO, GOO. became disastro lsly involted in the misfortunes of the banks which he was once able to control.
 Disclosures of the troubles of Morse followed each other in rapid succession o-day. One of these was to the effect that the creditor banks might unite in making him an involuntary bankrupt thereby absorbing the remnants of his fortune. Deputy sheriffs were kept busy to-day serving copies of the at tachment in the suit brought by Char les A Hanna. receiver for the National Bank of North America in New York against Morse to recover S243,321.

CONVENTION SPLITS
Florida Republicans Choose Two Sets of National
 Delegates.
REGULARS" ENDORSE TAFT
State Convention Scene of Frequent Fights and Many Are
 Elected.

St. Augustine. Fla, Feb s-Florida republicans stand out conspicuously to- day as the first ito hold their conven- ton to select delegates to the national convention and ii ia said here that the strenuous and exciting scenes of the day arc q forecast of similar scenes in other southern states, caused by the efforts of arti- Roosevelt republicans to control the national convention.
 The convention here to-day was really two conventions held at the same time in the same nall and bust ness was frequently interrupted by knockdown and drag out fights
 The officeholders faction was called to order by the chairman of the state committee and it's members proclaimed themselves the regulars, but they did not succeed in carrying out the pre- arranged program. The Taft senti- ment was too strong for the leaders to hold in check, and resolutions were adopted endorsing William II. Taft for the presidency. On tho other side of the hall the contcsting convention took conservation action and chose delegates ntrammelled by instructions. positive assurance being given by Joseph N. Stripling, who led the movement, that despite tho fact that they were branded as bolters by the other convention the delegates they named would he seated in the national convention.
 The Taft convention had complete delegation from each county, aggre- gating 177 Tn the opposition conven- ton there were two or three counties not represented. but about l5o dele gates participated
 The Taft convention nominated five presidential electors, but the opposi- ton convention delegated the choice of elet tors to a state committee named by the convention
 Tho ohiceholders' convention aGopt- led resolutions approving the policies of the Roosevelt administration and the conservative manner in which the president has carried them out, and instructed the delegates to the na- tional convention to support those policies and the candidate who is in sympathy with them and will carry them out It then named William II Taft as such candidate
 The anti-Taft convention adopted resolutions condomniag in strong terms the attempts to influence and control. by use of federal patronage through governmental officeholders the selection of delegates to the na tionat convention in the interest of any presidential campaign
 The city marshal and dozen no- licemen were on duty in the hall and were frequently called upon to eiec; urrulv delegates Nine-tenths of both conventions were negroes.

 The members of the New Haven Business. Mems association showed their utter disregard for superstitions last night by giving their thirtieth an- nual banquet at Harmonic hall. The place was the scene of high spirits in more ways than one. If one were to judge from what was done and said at the banquet there would need to be little fear as to the financial situation at present in the city. The warning notes sounded were governmental, not mercantile
 The list of speakers was an excel lent one. and those in charge of the banquet had reason to feel proud of them for they included men who are both prominent and good after dinner speakers. It was regretted that Gov ernor Woodruff was unable to be present. Professor Marcus White, of New Britain. principal of the state normal school in that place, acted as the toastmaster. As the menu sug- gested, he "got even with the whole bunch" His witticisms kept his hear CTS in roars of laughter all of the time. Hon. Stiles Judson. of Bridgeport. state attorney for Fairfield county. did double appearance act spea king at the Economic club banquet at the Tontine as we'll. The other speakers were Mayor Martin, Mayor Henney, of Hartford; A. Howard Abbe, of New Britain, president of the State Rusi- ness Mems association and Rev. Arte- mas J Haynes, pastor of the United church.
 The hall was tastefully decorated with flags at every available spot, the work of the New Haven Decorating company There were twenty tables in all. and they presented a pleasing sight, lighted as they were bv candel- abra with dainty silver and red sha,ses. The catering was done by the Louis Metzger company. and the menu was as follows:S
