Wouldn't be Received.
New York, June l5.-After working
In harmony since early In January
Judge O'Sullivan of the court Of gem
eral sessions and John ID. Rockefel.
Ter, IT,, foreman OF the special white

agreement In open court. Judgo

sentiment that the grand Jury OF which

ttnue its sessions for two weeks. MIR.
Rock efeller and a committee from the
grand jury appeared before Judge

spokesman. said that the Jury had
completed Its labors and desired To

he wished to deliver "A presentment.
Judge O'Sullivan brought ops hand
down on the desk with IA force that
caused every spectator in the crowded
courtroom to sit up and take notice.
THE court" said Judge O'Sullivan,
will refuse to receive any present.
ment at this time. The court refuses
the request of the grand jury that It
be discharged and orders II to con.
tinue its sessions for two weeks"
In this vehement statement Mr..
Rockefeller's face turned as white as
his collar. He was totally unpre.
pared for the reception from Judge
O'Sullivan but insisted upon putting
in his presentment.
II have been delegated by the grand
jury" he said, loudly, land wish to
state"

said Judge OSulliyan. Consult with
me or with the district attorney. We
are your legal advisers"
But this presentment---,"i insisted
Mr.. Rockefeller.
II have told you will not receive
your presentment," repeated the court.
You have been at work nearly six
months. Why should you emasculate
the good work you have done by
spreading on the records OF this court
matters which will have to be ex.
plunged later on notion"
District Attorney whitman stepped
In as peacemaker. He said that
while he had not been consulted about
the presentment, he would suggest
that the only way to find out what

Rockefeller, considerably agltated.
left the room with the other members
OF the committee. Later on they met
Judge 0'Sullivan In his chamber. The
presentment was shown to him.
Whether 1t suited him or not could not
be learned. He went home Immediate

would be Strengthened out amicably.

O'Sullivan over his own protest He
said he was In poor health.
The court insisted that he was the
man for the place and Mr.. Rockefel.

the work with great enthusiasm. Find.

Gains Made All Over the Country BY
Democrats.

Chicago have gained 40
seats in the national house of repre-.
sentatives, assuring them not only
control, but substantial majority.
The Democratic gross gain, however,
is reduced to net gain of 81 by three
Republican gains.
In order to gain control of the house
it was necessary for the Democrats to
elect "a new members. Assuming the
party viii retain it's representation in
states not heard from, it is apparent
the Democrats have IL members in
excess of the "A necessary to give
them control.
The definite Democratic gains
known were: New York, 8; Pennsyl-
vania, 3; North Carolina, q; Ohio. Z;
Massachusetts, 2; Maryland, 2; Con-

No word came from Mr.. Roosevelt

termlne the gOvernOrship most deci-
sively. At midnight his opponent, Mr..
Harding, at his Marion home, while re-
fusing to make statement, admitted
that the outlook was discouraging.
The returns from the rural districts
were showing steady and impressive
trend toward his rival, and the expect
ed slump of the cities showed only in
Cincinnati.
Gov. Harmon made wonderful race
in Cleveland and in Dayton. Here
Congressman M. Cox won a notable
victory, carrying the National Soldiers
home and rolling up majority of over
l0,000 in the Third district. In this
city city, where it was thought Gov.
Harmon would lose on account of the
street car strike, he appears to have
triumphed and turned the tables Oh his
adyersaries, who made political capital
of it. In Toledo, where ex-President
Roosevelt launched his bolt, Gov. Har4
mon increased his plurality of 1908.
In fact, it was demonstrated that
wherever Roosevelt spoke there was a
gain made by the man he attacked.
AS for the general assembly it is
close in any event, but the trend fa-
vors Democratic control The victors
CT to-day seem to have held their own
in counties won two years ago and
have made gains in unexpected places.
The congressional fights in some
districts are not yet settled Ken
nedy, OF the Eighteenth, seems to
have won after hard fight, and SO
has Willis in the Eighth. In the Fiji
teenth, Twentieth and Twenty-frst dis
tricts the Democrats seem to have
won.

publican camp was aroused by the
false hope that the great outpouring
meant votes
Il always conceded New York coun-
ty to Dix, but | am unable as yet to
estimate his plurality" said Mr.. Girls
com, when the early returns began to
rudely dash aside his hopes
Mr.. Griscom's home district, the
Twenty-ninth, made one of the worst
showingS in Manhattan.
Republicans Revolt.
The Republican revolt in those two
strongho.ds, including the sections
along Central Park on the Eas. Side,
amounted almost to political reyolu
ton. The vote in the Twenty-seventh
was 2,7S7 for Stimson and 4,019 Tor
Dix. Mr.. Hughes received 5,239 votes
two years ago and Mr.. Chanler Abs.
1t was from Buffalo that the first
fash came which indicated the Dix
victory. The returns came in before
o'clock, due to the fact that voting
machines are used.
Neighbors True to Dix.
Essex county, near the home of Mr..
Dix, showed one of the largest Dem
ocratic gains. 1t gave the Republican
candidate plurality of 700, loss of
more than 1000 compared with two
years ago.
The Republicans of Albany repudi-
ated the humiliation heaped upon Mr..
Barnes at Saratoga, and gave the
Roosevelt candidate plurality of
1000, but considerable more to the
rest of the state ticket, and elected
the entire Republican county ticket.
