New York. September 21.-A conference of the leading steel and ore interests of the country was held today at the Rail- way club. The meeting was called by Chairman E. H. Gary of the United States Steel corporation. At the conclu- sion of the conference, Judge Gary made the following statement:
 'I found that the conditions in the trade were much better than I expected do not believe there will be any serious cutting of prices. I think conditions will grow better rather than worse"
 Judge Gary added that there was dis. position on the part of some steel men to advance prices instead of reduce them This applies especially to the district east of Pittsburg and probably will result In an advance in steel plates from $1.s5 to s1. 40 per 100 pounds Judge Gary declared that nothing in the nature of an agree inent as to prices or questions of policy was entered upon in todays conference Those present at today's meeting In ad- dition to Chairman Gary and President w.

Votes That Claimed For Sherman Flop Over Roosevelt In County Meeting At Schenectady and Create Coaster nation In the Sherman Camp Which Confidently Expected the Delegates to Vote Against
 Roosevelt

New York, September 21.-Old guard leaders who are fighting for control of the republican state convention at Sar- atoga next week were admittedly sur prised today when the news reached th ein that the supporters of Colonel Roosevelt had carried the Schenectady county republican convention and had instructed its delegates to the state convention to support Colonel Roose- welt for temporary chairman and to fla vor direct primaries.
 Schenectady and Albany counties comprise the Twenty third congression- al district, which is represented on the republican state committee by William Barnes, Jr., one of the most aggressive regarded as invincible.
 Yesterdays defeat at the primaries of Vice President Sherman, the old guard candidate for temporary chairman of the state convention, in his home dis trict In Oneida county, was not alto gether unexpected, but the loss of Schenectady county today was a sur prise even to the progressives here.
 "It is an interesting straw show ing which way the sentiment in New York state is going" said Lloyd c. Griscom, leader of the Roosevelt forces. tonight "So far as the forces of the old guard are concerned 1t is great CT blow even than the loss of Vice President Shermans home district. ter ritory which was regarded as impeg- nable.

 The preliminary session was held be- hind closed doors today.

 A Mrs. Straiter, an aged woman of Brooklyn, N. r.. was instantly killed, while her son. seated by her side, es- capped injury. The cars were badly crushed, and from their position in the ditch the fact that only one fatality Is recorded is regarded as miraculous.

GAYNOR NOT YET
 READY TO ACCEPT

New York, September 21.-Herman Rid der had long interview with Mayor Gaynor at St. James, L. l., today and just before returning to Great Neck, said:
 Mayor Gaynor is hesitating between his duty to New York city and the call of the people of New York state, which now seems imminent.
 q did not advise Mayor Gaynor to ac- cept the nomination, if it is rendered him, and I would not advise his doing so, be- cause of his physical condition. This Is a matter for the mayor and his family to decide.
 q told him he was the strongest man the democrats could nominate: I was sur prised to see him in such excellent health. It is certainly a remarkable recovery"
 MT Ridder is the first man to admit after an interview with Mayor Gaynor, that he had discussed the subject of the gubernatorial nomination with the mayor. The tenor of MT. Riders talk was that the mayor Is leaning toward accepting the nomination, but at the same time, Nr. Ridder says, MT. Gaynor felt keenly his duty toward the people of the city.

 Such a victory is bound to have a decisive effect on the free lance vote in a moral way. It is natural that turn in sentiment in republican stronghold should set people thinking who don't generally use their heads at all about politics, especially coming at time when the republican party Is in a chaotic state.

Two Farmers Shoot Each Other
 To Death While Vices Look Or

Pelham, Ga., September 2.-Charles Tate and John Marchant, prominent men of this county, met in the road today and fought a duel In the presence of their wives. Both were killed.
 Stopping their buggies when they met in the public road near here, Tate and Marchant drew pistols and simultane- ously opened fire, both dropping to the ground dead after a half dozen shots had been fired. The wives of the men sat in the buggies while the fight was in progress.
 Tate was bridegroom of two months. and his bride was the widow of Frank Marchant, a brother of the man whom he killed and who killed him today. The fight grew out of an old grudge which at first involved Mrs. Tate's first hus-

band and her second husband, but which later was renewed and intensified be- tween Tate and John Marchant, who opposed his sister-in-law's marriage with Tate.
 When they met today Marchant called Tate to his buggy. The men exchanged hardly word when the shooting began Tate fired three times, every bullet find- ing Its mark. While the bullets were cutting into his body Marchant fired twice, one bullet striking Tate's hand and the other passing through the heart. The widows called aid and the bodies were removed. It was said that Mar. chant lived few minutes after he fell to the ground. Besides his wife, he leaves two small children. The men lived four miles from this place, owned good farms, were of prominent families and we'll respected in this section.

 DEMORALIZED REPUBLICANS

-the-line party men could about carry the state now.
 Some people seem to think the vic tories of the insurgent wing of the G. 0. P. will help them at the poIls, but I do not think so.
 Especially in the middle west, 1t seems to me, sentiment is for a com plete house cleaning, and with good candidates there should be little doubt about a democratic rally thrdnghout the country that will put Governor Harmon in the White House, especial ly if Taft gets the nomination at the next republican convention. There has not been a time since Cleveland's last campaign when things looked brighter for democracy, There Is harmony all down the line, and dis. organization never did beat harmony It's good thing to be a democrat al this time."

 Estimates of the old guard made today before the Schenectady returns gave MT. Sherman 541 of the 1915 delegates.
 After the returns the progressives went over the list and figured out that Roose- welt would have 529 votes in the conven- tion to 4S6 for Vice President Sherman. The contest has now sharpenea to a point where a few delegates will hold the balance of power, and the efforts to swing into line some of the counties still doubtful will be continued vigorously until the roll is called In convention.
