HUGHES NAY RUN AGAIN.
Failure of Primary Bill UW Mean
His denomination, 1t Is SAID.

IL the Governor cannot force the passage OF
direct nomination bill this year. It will mean
that he will be renominated year from next fall.
said Darwin r James, president Of the Brooklyn
Republican Club to a Tribune reporter last night
THE fight for direct nominations has only fairly
begun, said ex-Justice William H. Wadhans. presi-
dent OF the Direct Nomination League OF the State.
which is being organized in every Assembly dis
trict In the state. The beginning of the organza-
ton was made in Albany last week. when MI Wad-
hams elected chairman, and Assemblyman
Merwin K Hart. of Utica, and Darwin R. James.
Of Brooklyn. vice-charman.
Governor Hughes is coming TO town tomorrow
afternoon 70 attend a direct nominations mass
meeting at the Academy OF Music in Brooklyn TO-
night. Mr James and his associates ars
busy arranging the details Of the meeting Two
hundred vce-presidents have been chosen. Register
William A. Prendergast will speak at the meeting
with the Governor.
''The movement for direct nominations is state
wide" said Justice Wadhams last night. I'VE
held meeting Monday night at the City Club
TO perfect the details of the organization Tor every
Assembly district in the state. There was great
enthusiasm at the meeting there is among in
dependent thinking people all over the state when
the subject of direct nominations is brought up.
The fight has only just begun
II suspect the direct nominations bill is dead for
this year" said Mr. James, but the fight for the
principle is only just under way. If the measure
is laid away a shelf this year. II simply means
that the Governor will be renCminated year from
next fall to carry the work that he has just
b@gun- The Governor is no gutter. and the Repuo-
licans Of this stae determined to try direct
nominations.
The system has been adopted in about twenty
seven states after tremendous fight. II is the
greatest American issue to-day and is sweeping
the country 1t will not be adopted until the
voters aroused and force their representatives
give II trial. II may be two three years
before we get it enacted into law. We have worked
out a logical and smoother system than the
in Washington, Oregon or Illil ois. The funda-
mental weakness in other states is that they do
have the system of party enrolment that We
have here. our plan is to have the enrolled voters
of the party name the candidates of that party.
II is not unrea soma BILE difficult Of operation"

CRITTCISES Mr.. SHONTS.
Dir. Eustis on Seeming FlazcS IN
Interbor0ugh advertisement.

Commissioner John E. Eustis, of the Public Ser
vice Commission picked pumber of seeming haWs
Yesterday in the advertisement issued by the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company in regard to its
eagerness to relieve the crowding in the subway
Mr. E,ustis pointed out among other things that
the Interborough had opposed the side door plan
from the start although the company has recently
come out in favor of the centre side door
Mr. Eustis's comments President Theodore p
Shonts's statements embodied in the INTERIOR
ough's advertisement. mildly critical from
start to finish. He called attention TO the fact that
the Interborough advertisement makes no mention
of the fact that the Interboroughs plans interfere
with the proposed extension of the McAdoo tunnel
TO the Grand Central Station and also with the
Broadway-Lexington avenue route as approved by
tie Public Service Commission.
Mr. Eustis points that the commission has
already sanctioned the McAdoo extension, and adds
that there is q prospective bidder-the Bradley
Gaffney-Steers cOmpany-for the Broadway-LexinS-
ton avenue route laid out by the commission.
He says that President Shonts has evidently not
refreshed his memory recently in regard to the
present rapid transit law, the Interboroughs
readiness TO act' is necessarily predicated upon
existing legislation. It is we'll known, of course,
that all the marlborough plans for subway and
elevated development and extension conditioned
upon the amendment of the Elsberg law.
Referring to the Interboroush's request for per
petuaI franchise for the third tracking the Sec
ond avenue and Third avenue elevated lines Mr..
FJstis points out that legislation will be re-
quired for such a grant. He adds that, far
he is aware the Interborough has not procured the
introduction of bill IN the Legislature TO effectu-
ate its readiness in this respect" He also men
lions the fact that the last time the Interborough
brought up the third tracking proposition It was
ready to act the basis of grant for ten
years only, after which the third track would re-
vert to the city, to be taken down or relet for
operation.
Mr. Eustis concludes by saying that he thinks
the public is the best judge of the Interborough's
readiness to act shown In the matter of the
side door cars.

RED CROSS At W1LDORF.
Organization Opens Campaign for
additional Nurses.

The New York State branch of the American Ma
tionaI Red Cross opened its campaign for addi-
tional nurses with an enthusiastic meeting in the
Astor Gallery. in the Waldorf-Astora, yesterday
afternoon. The gallery was decorated with Amer
ican and Red Cross flags, while young nurses, in
uniforms. from hospitals in the city. acted as
ushers. One Of the features of the meeting was
the playing or the military band from Governor s
Island.
William Cary Sanger presided and made the
opening address He spoke of the need of obtaining
more members for the local branch. and told how
much good work could be accomplished with
a larger membership. Miss Rutty, who was in
Cuba at the time OF the Spanish-American War
described the conditions there at that time and
said that she wished that the could have
gone in the field sooner, as much more might have
been accomplished.
Mrs. William K. Draper. secretary OF the state
branch. spoke the Early History Of the Red
Cross and Its Present Organization" The most
noteworthy example of Red Cross work In this
country, she said found in the relief afforded
to San Francisco, when than s. 100000 was ex-
pended in the first year. But since then the work
had been better systematized as was proved by
the recent assistance given the sufferers ut
Messna. Within twenty-four hours ali of the state
branches were busy tie relief. In all. New York
raised $S2o5SS 90, which vas promptly forwarded to
Washington and from there 10 Rome.
Major Charles Lynch, OF the medical department
OF the army, spoke the necessity Of prepara-
ton. He said that in Of emergency this coun-
try could buy most things, but 1t could not buy
preparation. He said that he hoped the Red Cross
would continue to perfect its organization and to
have a large number of skilled nurses on its rolls
so that II there should be a war the army could
count on the Red Cross for immediate assistance.
He praised the work that had been done far and
said that as there few in the
country the army counted almost entirely on the
Red Cross for help in this direction.

NEW THEORY ON ORIGIN OF RABIES.
Comes from the Soil, Like Tetanus, Thinks
Observer of Summit

Summit, April 13 (SpecfaD.-A novel theory to
explain the phenomenon of rabies has been evolved
by Benjamin Carpenter. of this city. He says that
the disease is caused by a germ which. like that OF
tetanus develops in soil and first nfects healthy
dogs through abrasons cuts. The fact that
rabid dogs in Summit have followed certain well
defined trails through the city has led him to the
conclusion that the drippngs from their mouths
have established scents which other mad dogs
follow from Irresistible impulse
Mr. Carpenter has forwarded his views 10 the
local board of health He thinks careful nvestga-
tion will disclose what soils are favorable to the
development of the germ and thus enable the
thorities to fix territories from which dogs may
be excluded.

POLISH CONVENTION

one OF the most remarkable OF con-

Their the movement for Polish national
ity. II will be the first Polish national
congress that has been held in this
country, and It is to be expected that it
will bring together a striking aggrega-
ton of Polish patriots, not only from
this country, but from other parts OF
the world.
The movement to hold this Pan-Polish
convention, which will be held in the
National Capital. was started by the
Polish National Alliance Of the United
States. 1t is the largest Polish Organiza-
ton in the world. The central govern
ment of the alliance recently issued an
appeal to all Polish parties and organ
izations to elect delegates and mailed
personal invitations to about loo promi-
nent Poles in Europe and America.
It is to be expected that the forthcom-
ing congress in washington will have
an important bearing on the question Of
making the poles a free people and re-
storing to them the nationality of which
they were despoiled by the combined
forces of Russia, Austria, and Germany
