Passing Bad Check Appears
at Century Club

George B. Williams. the Shakespear-

was arrested on a charge of passing a
worthless check, gave his initial re-
cital at the Century club last night to
an audience of about 100 persons.
OF this number about dozen were
prominent socially. The entertainment
consisted of a recitation of King
Henry the Fourth and on the whole
proved rather disappointment. Will
liams was best as Sir John Falstaff.
The recitation lasted about two and a
half hours, and many persons left be-

Committee means that this should
be done, and that if the committee
takes this action as suggested it
will be doing nothing more than
making more specific or interpret
ing one feature of the plan al
ready adopted.
A prominent supporter of Sena-
tor Carmack said this morning in
discussing the possible action of
State Committee, that should such
action as suggested be taken, it
would amount to nothing, he de-
clared that nobody would pay any
attention to it. He said that the
county committees will carry out
the primary plan as originally pro-
mulgated by the State Committee.
He said that this would not be done
with any idea of embarrassing the
Governor, however, but his idea
was that the State Committee, the
primary having been held under
the present plan, had no right to
attempt to dictate to the county
committees as to how they shall
carry out one of the clear provi-
slons OF the primary plan.
The official returns from the pri-
mary election of June 81 are now
being received in quantities by the
Chairman of the Primary Sub
Committee. Under the primary
plan these returns must be can
vassed by the State Committee and
the result of the primary certified
by counties to the State Conven-
ton. If all the returns are in by
Friday, it may be that the State
Committee will take the matter up
at that time. 1t is not thought
probable, however, that all the re-
turns will have been received by
that time. If not, then the COM
mittee will be forced to hold a
later meeting for the purpose of
canvassing the official returns.

SELECTION OF DELEGATIONS.
Will State Committee Interpret Pri-
mary Plan?

Democratic interest continues tc
center, of course, in the meeting
Friday of the State Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee, an official call
for which appears elsewhere in
the issue of the Banner, and in the
meeting July IA of the Democratic
State Convention.
Under the primary plan adopted
by the State Committee establish
ing rules for the gubernatorial pri-
mary, it was provided that the
county delegates to the guberna-
torial nominating convention shall
be named by the respective Coun-
lty Executive Committees. The
plan provided, of course, that the
county delegations shall carry out
the instructions of a majority of
the Democratic voters in their re-
spectlve counties by voting in the
convention for the candidates for
Governor, Judge and Railroad
Commissioner who received the
majority of votes in their county.
Nothing was provided in the plan
to regulate the political complex
ion of the delegations. In other
words, the delegations from coun-
ties carried by Gov. Patterson
may be composed of supporters of
Senator Carmack, and the dele
gates named from counties carried
by Senator Carmack may be Pat
terson men. Of course, it is not
intimated that this possible fact
would influence the delegates
against voting to carry out the
wishes and the instructions of a
majority of the Democratic voters
in their counties.
The impression exists in the
minds of many who are in close
touch with the situation that the
State Committee will, at the meet
ing Friday, probably direct that
the County Executive Committees
throughout the State select dele
gates who we're during the recent
campaign in sympathy with the
for Governor who may
have carried the respective coun.
ties. That is, it is said, that the
State Committee will likely in
struct county committees to send
delegations composed of Patterson
men from those counties which
polled majority for the Governor.
