the real elements OF the conflict.
Governor and Attorney War.
Ever since the startling announce

rice Johnson fight and the Langford
Kaufman flght must not be held In Cal
| fornin. hostility between the chief
executive and the district attorney has
| been In evidence. Then came from
| Chicago the bold challenge In the de-
claration alleged to have been made by
Mayor p. II. Mccarthy that he was
running his town and that the bat
tie of the century would certainly DO
held In San Francisco.
Mayor McCnrthy'S statement. tho
subsequently denied by the mayor. who
IS now speeding home. is said to have
aroused the keen resentment OF Cover

close to the governor that 1t was the
! mayors alleged declaration that
| brought about the calling out OF tho
| two companies OF militia

| That was my experience In the east
while seeking national aid for the Pan

| brought to bear on mo from millions
OF people scattered all over the coun-
try, and this alone was reason enough
for my Interference.
NO governor. however. can interiors
with the affairs OF Il municipality un-
less he is satisfied the municipal off-
cials cannot and VIII not cope with the
situation. / was so satisfied before I
wrote Attorney General Webb concern
| Ing tho Johnson -Jeffries fight.
Il am not worrying much about the
| big fight. I am concentrating my at
tention on preventing the Kaufman
| G.anEford match. I am satisfied the
| promoters OF the big fights have al
| ready decided to move their match
from this state. That is all ask of
them"
