NO WARRANT ISSUED
Trolley officials Likely to Insist on One for Kerrigan,
 However.
WANT COURT TO SETTLE IT
officer Trying to Have It Settled 9th Witnesses Stgn State
 n,ents for Smith,

Although Chief Cowles has suspend cd Officer John r. Kerrigan until the board of commissioners has inquired into the trouble between that officer and trolley car Conductor !. Walter Smith. which occurred on Smith s car last Tuesday night, steps were talk en by the trolley company through one of It's officials to have the arrest of Kerrigan ordered on d criminal count of breach of the peace. Con ductor smith has insisted with the company's officials that in fairness to himself they should insist on tho ar rest of Kerrigan.
 Yesterday an official of tho company saw City Attorney Hoyt and urged the issuing of warrant for the arrest and, although no warrant was Issued, 1t Is considered highly probable that tho trolley company will insist oil a warrant and that one will he issued. The trolley company officials take the stand that it is necessary in fairness fee bound to protect in the conduct of their duty and they also feel that if Kerriesn is right in the case he should bc called upon to prove his side in court to determine the blame in the matter.
 officer Kerrifan Ia making rolsid blo effort to have the matter settled without being taken into court and to l have Smith agree not to press the charges there, but to have the differ ences adjusted privately. but it seems very likely that neither thee road nor | tho conductor will agree to let the ! matter rest out of court.
 There were a number of witnesses 1 who saw the trouble as they were or | the car at the time. Tile statements of these persons have been taken and they almost all agree with that of the conductor and hold that the officer was in the wrong These statements it is understood, arc all signed by tho parties making them and are held b, the trolley company.
 The two teeth which smith .llat knocked out by tho blow were rivetec teeth and cost considerable money tt have them put In, which adds some thing to hls feeling In the matter. Tht next meeting or the police corhms sioners will not take place until Sep tember 29 unless a special meeting Il called. II Is not yet certain whethe such action will be taken or not bu if is quite possible that special meet inp twill hr cullod i,, ihn nasa

He claims he did not knov whether he struck the conductor 0 not and did not report the matter t tho chief because he did not think | of sufficient importance.

 Despite the fact that the leaders of Quinby's campaign had previously de- clared that the Laconia man would have a wide margin of majority votes on the first ballot two ballots were necessary and on the second and de- cisive ballot Quinby had a margin of only five votes.
 on the first ballot Cuinhy boiled S7c votes. when 395 were necessary for tho nomination. On both the first and second ballots Rosecrans Pills bury. of Londonderry, was a strong second, receiving total of ebs votes on the first ballot and aA6 on the sec- ond. Pillsbury's net loss on the sec ond ballot was only six votes.
 The extra votes boiled by the Quln- by faction on the second ballot came principally from those who had sup ported Bertran Ellis, of Keene, the third of the trio of candidates, on the first ballot.

 Although the contest was hart fought the delegates were undemon strative and the proceedings from 2 spectacular standpoint were uninter 1 cstinE. The convention was conducted under the provisions of the law passee | by the last legislature and the deie gates voted individually. This system was slow and cumbersome and th, two ballots required nearly four hours of time.
 The platform adopted. contrary t' general expectations, contained no ref erence to tho attempted merger of in Boston and Maine railroad with th New York, New Haven and Hartfor, railroad.
