Eleventh district. and since he broke
away from the power that controls
the district he Is alleged to have 0ab-

PREMIER AsQU|TH
HAS SURRENDERED
Alliance Forces Him to Agree
to Fight Power of English
Lords.
WILL REPUDIATE HIM
UNLESS HE MAKES GOOD
Believed That King Has Agreed to
Create Liberal Peers if
Veto Privilege is
Threatened.

LONDON --25.===Endsr-
surrendered to-day to the newly Gre
ated alliance made of the =faat-
Gals in his own party and the Irish
nationalists and laborites and agreed
to introduce the measure for the limi-
tation of the Lords veto and the bud
get simultaneously.
The plan is TO force vote on the
veto ahead of the budget. 1t is con-
coded that the House OF Lords will
reject the measure, when the Premier
will make his demand upon the King
for the crowns appointment of
enough liberal peers to insure the
passage of the veto measure.
IL the King accedes, the crisis will
be passed in safety, but If he refuses,
the cabinet will resign Immediately,
without even passing the budget or
providing for the royals war list
This will force a new election on the
issue of the Lords veto. To-day
arrangement Is unofficial. but II bears
the approval of all the liberal. labor
lite and nationalist leaders. and is be-
fiered to be as binding as formal
compact
The climax to the situation will
come in about three days. Asauith' s
official head depends On his feaity 70
the new program. Should he show
the slightest hesitancy, his leader
ship will be repudiated. and Chan
cellor of the Excheauer Lloyd George
viii be appointed leader in his stead
In the event Of a new election, IL
seems to be foregone conclusion
that LLOYD George will succeed As,
ouith should the liberals be victori-
Gus.
1t Is believed Asquith would not
have agreed to tu-day.s plan had he
not received assurances from the Kins
that the latter will swamp the up
per house with liberal peers In case
Of the rejection Of the veto bill
Should King Edward refuse Asauith's
request. the responsibility for a new
election will thus be upon his shonl-
ders. and the leaders OF the minis
terial coalition are already planning
to make an issue of his disregard oil
the popular wish If he fails to sup
port the goxernment,s program.

llcan State Chairman Timothy l..
Woodruff was virtually shunted aside
today as a leader i'm the fight OF the
"Old Guard on Colonel Roosevelt and
the latter's progressive" programme.
William Barnes, Jr, the Republican
boss of Albany stepped into the state
Committee headquarters at noon, took
possession of Mr. Woodruff's desk
and soon every available stenographer
at the Republican State headquarters
was busy taking dictation from Mr..
Barnes, who sent out sheaves of mes
sages to his lieutenants all along the
line, while the awed attendants went
about whispering with wise mods that
the boss was on the job"
In the meantime Mr.. Woodruff kept
out of the way and it was officially
announced that he was busy minding
his own non-political, real estate bust
ness and wouldn't have a word to say
about politics
Mr.. Barnes had scarcely taken his
stand on the firing line before shrap-
mel began to fly between the old guard
headquarters and the camp of the OPP
position, which makes its home in the
downtown law Office of Lloyd c. Grs-
com, president of the New York Coun-
ty Committee. The first shot came
from Mr.. Barnes When told that the
Roosevelt forces at a conference on
Tuesday had decided to place the
name of Colonel Roosevelt before the
Republican State Convention as a con-
testant with Vice President Sherman
for the position of temporary chair.
