HOLMAN VS. JANSEN
Alderman at Large Out to De-
 feat Present Senator from Tenth District.
hoT FIGHT ANTICIPATED
Machine Said to Favor Some Dark Horse-Molloy Slight Favorite
 of Democrats.

While politics have been quietly sim mering or the past few weeks, there will be considerable doing after Col. lUllman's return Saturday. Various points will be cleared up upon his ar- rival, but among those which will be allowed to rest a little longer is the matter of the nomination for senator from the Tenth Senatorial district At present there are two candidates for the nomination on the republican tick ct, the present holder of the office, Alderman Franklin l.. Homan, and Alderman at-Large Julius Jansen. MT. Homan says he would like to spend at least one moro term at Hartford, but 2! v!3UlrsJansena IS disinclined to walt two years hcto4s assnming the toga-
 While both Mir. Homan ana .s,,T. JnS zen are hot footing 1t after the nomin- ation, 1t is said that the wheel of the machine which operates in that section of the city, has a dark horse whom 1t is expected would be a bigger vote getter than either of the other two. MT. Jan sen is not regarded by the machine as particularly strong. and the lead CTS" remember that George l.. Fox will be back from Europe and might say things about Senator Homan. The dis trict is a hard one to carry, Mir. Homan defeating John N. States last time by less than 100 votes.
 The thee cornered contest for the democratic nomination is progressing rather quietly. Being under the disad- ] vantage of not having dictator like the republicans, who can finally decide ,khe whole matter, the three democrats, ,ex-Alderfnan Tom Molloy, ex-Alderman Courtney and Alderman Patrick Cum bingham. have built enough fences to enclose Waterside park. Since he re- turned from Denver, MT. Molloy has tbeen sligtly in the lead in the race, Apparently. He is one of the hard workers in the Young Mems Democratic ; club, and Is also on speaking terms with the administration Besides this The has good friend in Alexander Nroup. Mir. Courtney and Mir.

STAND FIRMLY BY HALSWELLE
Official Account of Unfortunate
 Incident in Olympic Con- tests Yesterday.
CLAIM CARPENTER BORED"
English Papers All Agree as to This Declare Tracks of Men
 Show This.

London, July 24-The official state ment of the alleged foullng of Hals- welle in yesterdays 400 metre race by Carpenter, the American Is given out as follows:
 The following is the official account of the incident:
 Tt was distinctly understood by the runners before they went to their marks that in the event of any boring, the race was to be re-run half an hour later. The draw for positions result ed In Carpetner getting the inside DO. sition. Then came Halswelle, Taylor and Robbins on the outside.
 Carpenter darted off In the lead at a great pace, with Robbins second, Halswelle third and Taylor fourth. To the middle of the bend the positions were the same. Then Halswelle drew up according to the umpire stationed at the spot, and led. for as near as could be judged, half q second. Car penter then ran wide, elbowing Hals- welle on to the outer side of the track. Then Robbins crossed to the inside. A signal was given by the umpire when Halswelle was fouled and all the men with the exception of Carpenter, who ran right out, partially pulled up, as the worsted having been broken there could be no race. Taylor ran perfectly fair throughout.
 "The judges themselves Inspected the | footmarks which showed with perfect clearness that what had happened was unquestionahly such as to bear out the umpire's signal and prove that q foul had been committed"
 | The London morning papers with the exception of the Express and the | Daily News, refrain from commenting editorlally upon what Is described as an unpleasant incident" and a sad blot on the olympic games"
 The Express says:
 We firmly believe that American sportsmen will regret equally with us the unfortunate incident which makes the relations between them and the British competitors more strained than ever. We hope that no attention will b( paid to wild words on such subjects or either side of the Atlantic. Such unhap. py occurrences are best forgotten as quickly as possibe.'
 l The Daily News attributes the "un. savory" incident to the gambling ele. ment and says:
 Tt has besmirched the whole char. acter of the Olympic games and hal brought us face to face with that as pect of modern sports which makes tho revival of thls classic event an irony"
 In the general descriptions of tn, race, tho morning newspapers unhesi' tatlngly adopt the view of the tudRji that Carpenter was guilty of boring. They quote Halswelle as asserting thai he was elbowed out by Carpenter, who gave him two vigorous blows on the chest. It Ia alleged that a doctor ex. amlned Halswcle and found brulse, from the blows.
 The Americans, according to another account printed elsewhere in this is sue, declare they were robbed of tho race.
