MAY IGNORE PROTEST
MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS SET ON
RENoMINATING JOHNSON.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August 80
Notwithstanding Gov. John a. Johnson's
positive and oft-repeated declaration that
he would not be a candidate for renomi-
nation. which declaration has lately been
coupled with the threat that if he was
named against his will the convention
would have to do its work over again, the
probabilities were that the convention
which assembled at IL o'clock today
would ignore the governors wishes.
Yesterday when told that he might be
made the nominee despite his protests,
Gov. johnson said that If he was nomi-
mated the ticket would be without a head.
for he would not lift his finger to further
his candidacy. It was thought that IL this
emphatic declaration had its effect that j.
q. Armson, mayor Of Saltwater Mimi,
would undoubtedly be the nominee.
Mayor Armson stated this morning.
however, that under no circumstances
would he be candidate. He said he re-
garded it as Gov, Johnsons duty to an

race. even at q great personal sacrifice.
Represent alive Hammond, who had
been a conspicuous factor in the situation
had during the past week been eliminated
by his declination to run.
With Armson and Hammond both ont
1t looked today as though the only course
open to the convention was to nominate
Johnson and take chance on his accent-
ance.

Controller Wants Brown to Put Up
Bond Against Award Money.

The controller Of the Treasury today
made public letter to the Commission
ers relating to a decision by him in the
matter of the award Of $l4.O3l.oO to
Chaplin Brown for property condemned by
the District for the opening of Piney

Although jury has decided that Chapin
Brown is entitled to the sum mentioned.
legal entanglements appear in the form
of two deeds Of trust. The controller.
who has been asked by the District gov
ernment to decide the matter, is a little
at sea and suggests that Brown indemni-
fly the District against loss.
For over twenty years Brown has own
ed land near 18th street and Rock Creek

award mentioned.
On looking up the title it was found
that Brown had executed a deed OF trust

correct errors and to take the place OF the

The controllers recommendation Is that
Brown shall put up a bond. because:
IF 1t shall be held by the courts that
the holder Of a deed Of trust on lands
thereof, 1t would be dangerous prece-
dent for me to hold that moneys accruing
as an award on a proceeding In condem-

Charged with disorderly assembly last
Saturday night while near Sth and D
streets, Mrs. Alice kopp was adjudged
guilty today by Judge Mullowny of the
Police Court and fined SO. Several wit
nesses were called for the defense and an
effort was made to show that Policeman
Lyles of the first precinct. who made the
arrest. exceeded his authority.
1t was testified that the defendant with
two woman companions began jumping In
and out of automobiles standing along the
curbing and creating disorder. 1t was as
serted that their conduct attracted a large
crowd of men and they paid little heed
to warnings by Lyles to keep quiet and
move on.
When Mrs. Kopp jumped into an auto
mobile and sounded the horn Lyles per-
emptorily- ordered her move on, which
she seemed disinclined to do, 1t was
stated. Her arrest followed.
In imposing the fine Judge Mullowny
remarked that the public streets are not
places for conduct such as described by
the prosecuting witnesses.

MAKES STATEMENT TODAY
Senator Foraker Reported Sore Over
Ohio Slight.
SHERMAN'S FIRST SPEECH
To Tour West in October and Close

in Demand.

NEW YORK. August 19.-That every
one of the candidates for the presidential
nomination whose name was presented
to the Chicago convention will speak dur
ing the campaign in support of Taft and
Sherman is the expectation of Frank II.
Hitchcock, chairman of the republican
national committee. He made this an
nouncement at republican headquarters
here. The list includes Vice President
Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon. Senator
Knox, Senator La Toilette and probably
Senator Foraker.
1t is said that Senator Foraker, who is
in New York today on business, feels re-
sentiment because of the failure Of the
men in charge of the Ohio campaign to
invite him to speak at Youngstown. The
senator has admitted that he is not salts
efid with conditions in his state, and says
he may not attend the meeting at Youngs-
town when the state campaign is to be
opened. He said also that he did not ex-
pect to call at republican national head
quarters in this city.
1t was stated here today. however,
that Chairman Hitchcock and Gen. r.
Coleman Du Pont, who is the director
of the republican national speakers
bureau. will avail themselves of Sena-
tor Forakers services If he will con-
sent to speak. The senator's friends do
not anticipate that he will refuse, and
1t is likely that he will be used in sew
eral big meetings in the east.
Hitchcock Silent Over Ohio.
Chairman Hitchcock declined to talk of
the Ohio situation or Senator Foraker's
relations 10 the management in that state,
saying that it was not in his jurisdiction.
The first speech to be made by James
s. Sherman, the republican candidate for
Vice President. probably will be in Illinois
late in September. and from then on he
will be actively engaged in speaking until
election. He will make tour of the west
In October and wind up the campaign in
the east.
Vermont republicans will listen next
week to Leslie NJ. Shaw, former Secretary
Of the Treasury: Senator Borah of Idaho
and Senator Burrows of Michigan. Sew
eral other prominent republicans will be
sent into that state also, and there will
be speaking in nearly every city, county
ceding the election. September g.

At republican headquarters today a de-
mand was received from Nebraska for
Senator Borah and Gov. Hughes to be
sent to the State Fair at Lincoln early in
September in reply to an address that will
