DICK CROKER STOPS
IN GOTHAM ON WAY
TO VISIT CALIFORNIA

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Richard Gro
ker, who for years directed the desti-
MES of Tammany Hall before he re-
tired to lead the life of a country gem
tleman at Glencairn, his estate in Ire
land, arrived on the Lusitania today,
and says he has stopped in New York
merely to see his old friends and re-
new old acquaintances, incidental ito
his trip to Southern California, where
he will spend the winter.
That he contemplates again entering
the field of politics in New York, where
he so long held sway, he has positively
denied. 1t is expected that Mr.. Croker
will remain in the United States about
six months, and it is likely that por-
ton of that time at least Will be spent
in Southern California or some other
section of the country where the winds
of winter are less severe than in New
York.
The old Tammany leader had as
companions in voyage across the ocean
his daughter Helen, his nieoes-Mrs.
Bowman and Mrs. Benjamin Bewlett-
and the latter's husband. Mr. Croker
especially requested that no demon
stration of any kind be made by his
friends in this city on his arrival, and
in compliance with his request his re-
ception down the bay was quiet one.
This visit of Mr.. Croker to America Is
the first he has made in four years.

animation was conducted an investiga-
tion into accessibility of iron ore to the
Pacific coast
AS a result the man who conducted
the Investigations has written to Los
Angeles stating he found Los Angeles
and vicinity better adapted naturally
for his plans than any other place or
the coast. He added, however, a
definite move to select a site for the
plant would not be made for twelve
months. Although his letter did not
say so, it is conjectured the question
of harbor facilities and the opportuni-
ties offered through the opening of the
Panama canal have a direct bearing
upon the probable location of the plant

JOE CANNON SAYS
TAFT WON'T TRY TO
ORGANIZE HOUSE
LRy Associated Press.l


DANVILLE, ILL.,, Nov. 20.-Speaker
Cannon's attention was today called to
the story sent out from Hot Springs,
Va, that Mr.. Taft would oppose Mr..
Cannon's reelection to the speakership
on the ground that "Uncle Joe" would
not undertake in good faith revision
of the tariff.
Mr.. Cannon said:
IT don't believe that the president
elect will undertake to organize the
house. In common with the presi-
dent, indorse the Republican national
platform and am entirely willing to
abide by the action of the Republican
caucus to determine the organization
of the house of the siXty-first con-
gress.'
Cannon, who was reelected by the
Danville district of Illinois to the house
of representatives, will have at least
one strong opponent for speaker of
the house, and from the present out
look there will be a close contest for
the speakership. The man who will
oppose Cannon is Congressman Charles
N. Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of
the committee on banking and cur
rency of the house of representatives
Congressman Fowler has announced
that he will oppose Cannon and Will
make strong fight for the speakers S
chair. It is known Mr.. Fowler has been
displeased with the present speaker s
rule while officiating as presiding Of
ficer of the lower house and especially
with his attitude tQward the currency
bill.
1t is said a host OF Eowler's friends
also are not Friendly toward Cannon
and they will do their utmost to oust

all living at 2106 Armour avenue. The
car plunged over the embankment and
struck platform fifteen feet from the

A. F. OF [. ELECTION OF oFFI-
GERS THIS MORNING
Socialists object to Endorsement Of
Organ of Labor-Want Sources

Vestigated

II ENVER, Colo.s Nov. 2O--At no
time sincg tho opening of the
- convention of The American Fed
Grafton of Labor has there been any
doubt that President Gompers was III
complete control, but it was thought
possible that part of his report might
be materially amended or his political
course condemned.
The report was before the convention
for a day and a half, and although for
q while there was a vigorous discussion
of some of it's contents, it was adopted
this afternoon, and Mr. GomperS there
by fully indorsed.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock the
election of officers will be the special
order of business.
All the old officers probably will be
elected, with the exception of Vice
President Daniel j. Keefe, and even he
may again be voted into office.
1t is reported the miners have de-
cided to support Mr.. Keefe for re-
election, and they have the largest vote
of any union in the convention.
1t also is reported Mr.. Gompers will
not oppose Mr.. Keefe, but this cannot
be confirmed, as the president refuses
to be interviewed on the subject.
Socialists object
In the report of the committee on the
presidents report there was a section
commencing the course of the Ameri-
can Federationist, the official organ.
Objection to this was made by the
leading Socialists present.
They wanted the report amended so
a committee could be appointed to in
Vestigate the sources of income of the
Socialist party in the recent campaign.
This information was desired because
of an attack upon Eugene V. DeDs
that appeared in the Federationist.
An amendment to this was offered
to ask the Socialists If they were re-
sponsible for attacks made on the Fed
Grafton officials in the Socialist press.
This amendment was adopted, and
precipitated a debate in which a num-
President Gompers.
Denies Several Charges
j. M. Barnes closed the discussion
and in the course of his remarks
denied several of the charges made by
President Gompers. Mr.. Gompers de-
sired to speak a second time, but Dele
gate Barnes objected.
By this objection the Socialists lost
all they had gained by their eloquence
and the convention promptly voted
down their amendment and adopted
the debated section.
The remainder of the committees g
report was adopted without discussion.
At this point Delegate T. L. Lewis of
the miners interrupted the proceedings
and in an eloquent speech presented
on behalf of the convention to Presi-
dent Gompers a handsome silver low
ing cup and to Mrs. Gompers a dia-
mond ring.
Mr.. Gompers was overcome by the
good will of the delegates, coming as it
did at the end of a hard fight, and he
could scarcely control his feelings as
he thanked the convention.
A resolution commencing the efforts
of President Roosevelt in behalf of the
conservation of natural resources was
unanimously adopted.
The recommendation that the Feder-
alton erect a building suitable for its
uses at Washington, D. c., also was
adopted.
