 SUPPORT GRAY
A Few Delegates Are Inclined TO Favor w. J. Bryan For
 President.

Dover, Del, April 12.-The result or the primaries yesterday indicate that Delaware will send practically unani- nous delegation to Denver in favor Of Judge George Gray for the presidential nomination.

They say they may vote for Judge Gray on the first ballot at Denver

GRAY'S NAME
 IS BEING URGED
George Gray League at Washington Works For His Nomination For
 the Presidency.

Washington. April 12-The George Gray league. which was organized at meet ing last Thursday evening in the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia, has sent to sen stors, congressman, delegates to the dem- ocratic national convention, newspapers and to the democratic voters of the country an address urging the nomina- tion and election of George Gray to the presidency.
 The appeal declares that the special privileges which have been distributed by the republican party are at the roots Of the existing financial troubles
 It characterizes the tendency toward centralization of power by the present national administration as little short of czarism.
 George Gray Is declared to be fittest for the presidency of those who have been mentioned in connection with the nomination. His private character is re- viewed and the fact that he is not seek ing the nomination Is urged as an addi- tional reason why he should be named.

 Close Friend SAYS MADAME ANNA
 MADE TIE PROPOSAL Eyes Meet In Silent Language and Divorced Wife of Count Boni de
 csstellsne Falls at Feet
 of Mediator

New York, April l2.--Another chapter was added to the story of the affairs of Prince Helie de Sagan and Madame Anna Gould, who sailed on different steamers for Europe yesterday, when tonight c. G. Netter of this city made public a stat ient given to him, as he explained, by e prince and intended for pubica- ton after the St. Paul, upon which De Sagan took passage. was well out at sea.
 MT. Netter is a personal friend of the prince and was entrusted by the latter with the statement that he and Madame Gould were betrothed.
 The statement of De Sagan follows in part:
 When trouble developed between Count Boni and the Countess, I sought to aid them as a friend sincerely interested in their affairs. It was at that time that her friendship was tested. She stated at that time that she appreciated my efforts very much.
 Our love for each other began to dawn only after the divorce decree had been entered. Long after the courts had act ed 1 chanced to call at her home one day and by one of those intutive divina- tions-a meeting of the eyes sometimes brings the knowledge--I knew for the first time that 1 really loved her and she loved me.
 Tt was on the first day of last August that the first word about love or mar riage was uttered between us. In the course of a conversation she said sud l denly to lie: Oh, Prince, why didn't l ] marry a man like your 1 replied that , was afraid l was too old, but she as- serted that she did not think so. 1 had known her well: l studied her thoughts. her hopes, her inclinations; and under standing all this, l realized what Il good wife she would make and 1 believed 1t may lie in my power to make her happy. We became betrothed
 Madame Gould and I contemplate marriage. When that event has taken place my wife and l will live for some years in complete retirement in some quiet suburb of Paris There we shall remain until the debts of her former hus- band are paid. We are marrying l re- peat, for nothing else except that we love each other"

SOUTHERN CHARTER
 WILL BE ATTACKED
RAILROAD FIGHT IS ON BETWEEN
 RYAN INTERESTS AND SOUTH AND WESTERN RAILWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Asheville, N. C., April 12.-That the
 South and Western railway will in turn
 attack the charter of the Southern rail-
 way to which corporation an injunction.
 stopping all work of construction on the
 most important section of the former road
 was granted yesterday by Judge Pritch-
 ard, was authorltatively stated today. The
 injunction cited the South and Western
 to appear before Judge Pritchard next
 Thursday to show cause why it should not
 be permanently enjoined from doing any
 work or claiming any rights to the road
 beds which the South and Western has
 constructed adjacent to roa6 beds of the Southern.
 The bill alleges that the Southern rail- way Carolina division is the owner of a certain line of road known as the South Carolina and Georgia extension running from Marion N. C.. to Camden, s. C.. 11.3 miles, and that June 30, 1902, 1t leased this line for 999 years to the Southern
 Railway company; that in April, 1908, de- fendant railways and their contractors unlawfully entered into the right of way of the Southern line between Marion. N. C., and Thermal City, N C., and wrong fully set up title to same and are en- croaching upon the right of way of the Southern railway.
 The bill alleges that Ryan's roads-two
 corporations being namcd-have occupied
 the Southerns right of way. but 1t does not reveal the contest which underies the litigation, the attack on the charter rights of the Ryan corporations nor does 1t show the counter attack of the South and West ern. which is that its rights are superior to those of the Southern.
 The South and W estern has built from the coal fields of Virginia, southeast. pass ing through the Northern Carolina coun- ties and expects to reach the Atlantic coast.

New York State Democrats
 Meet Tomorrow
CONTEST IS VERY PROBABLE
Chairman Corners, While Favoring Uninstructed Delegation To Den yer, Believes Johnson of
 Minnesota Strongest.
New York, April 12.-w1

New York, April 12.-Whcther the dem- ocratc state convention which meets in
 rnegle hall In this city on Tuesday next vote to send unnstruoted delegates the national convention at Denver in July Is a question which Is exciting the keenest interest among the followers of the various candidates for the presidential nomination. The state committee at d re- cent meeting here, with but one dissent ing vote, voted to send delegation from the Empire state to the national conven- tion unfettered by instructions, and the organization plans to carry out this pro- gramme at the state convention.
 Chairman William J. Corners of tho state committee has said that there is very little real sentiment throughout the state for the nomination of William J. Bryan, and the majority of delegates elected to the state convention from the various counties have been left free to act as the organization wills. Enough Bryan sentiment remains, however, to give promise of lively contest, and there is a probability of warm debate in the committee on resolutions in the event of any Bryan supporters being given a place on the committee. Some of the Bryan men may try to prevent the organization from consummating it's plans by carrying the fight for an instructed delegation for Bryan to the floor of the convention. The democrats of Western New York have gone on record in favor of Bryan's nomi- nation. and will urge the convention to in- struct it's delegates to vote for the Ne braskan first. last and all the time.
 The committee on credentials will have some political tangles to unsnarl as sev- eral counties will send contesting delega- tions to the convention.
 Chairman Corners, while favoring an uninstructed delegation to Denver, has expressed the belief that Governor John- son of Minnesota is tsza strongest candi- date in the democratic field of presiden- tiai .spossibilities. Governor Jolinson's friends are watching the action of New York and Pennsylvania, both of which are expected to send their delegates unin- structed to Denver.
 The formal launching of the candidacy of Judge George Gray of Delaware at Dover on Tuesday is expected, and his followers would welcome an instructed delegation from New York with the pos sibility of winning the New Workers over to Deleware's candidate. The state com mittee will meet tomorrow afternoon at the Victoria hotel to perfect the tempor- ary organization. Thomas Carmody Of Pennyan will preside as temporary chair man and will address the convention at the opening session. It is expected that the temporary organization will be made permanent, and that Mr. Carmody will preside throughout the convention.

San Diego, April 12.-A wireless mes- sage received at 12:4O o'clock this morn ing says that the battleship fleet left Magdalena Bay at 4:1o p. m., Saturday on its way to this port. The fleet was making good progress at the time the message was sent.

Washington, April 12.-That the present session of Congress will adjourn on or about Saturday, May 9, was the preoic- ton tonight of Representative James E.
