Harvey. Of Queens county, today.
Stories that he is raving ike a
maniac in his cell are ridiculously un-

"All the stories that have been printed
saying that Captain Hams means for
my poor wife. and raves TO go back TO
his army post are absurd. continued
the sheriff. He has had a slight at

well. T. Jenkins Hains is as well and
as composed as his brother"

not go on the stand to confess wrong

Chicago, June 9.-Despite the fact
that the anus decided to bolt the
committee Saturday night, and carry
their contests to the convention, Ken
tucky contests in the four districts
were taken ZIP yesterday BY the ma
tional committee
Senator Bradley, who is a strong
Fairbanks supporter, is leading the
fight for the antis. He presented
forty affidavits today alleging that
the Taft men packed the Kentucky
state convention and denied the reg
ular delegates admission, He declar-
ed that word was sent to Kentucky
from Washington to the effect that
il the state oflceholders did not favor
Taft they would lose their Jobs
The antis have practically aban-
doned the hope of seating any of the
contestants, bu they intend to con-
tinue the fight In the convention in
the hope Of making compromise.
1t is believed that compromises will
be made in many contested districts,
for the Taft men know that failure
to make some sort Of concilliation will
result in splits which would be disas-
trous to the party and especially would
endanger the reelection of many con
gressmen.
