TOM WATSON FALLS IN FAINT
 WHILE DELIVERING SPEECH

he (Watson) had denounced the graft in foreign missions
 This caused a burst of cheering for Hard wick and Watson began to allude to himself as martyr. The crowd laughed at this and Watson then began an attack on ex-Governor Hoke Smith. He never completed the attack for the great crowd began to cry "Hoke, Hoke, Hoke" and kept it up. Watson seem ed dazed for a minute and then began to scream something, which was drowned by the cries of ''Hoke," and then to gesticulate wildly.
 While tossing his arms about, Wat son collapsed and was caught as he fell by those near him. He was quick ly carried from the stage Into the open air where he revived.
 Watson seems enraged because he was howled down and 1t Is rumored he will announce for governor against Hoke Smith. Watson thinks he would get the Brown support in the general election and have a chance to defeat Smith.
 Earlier in the day 1t was reported that Hardwick, fearing Watson would assassinate him, had asked and secured police protection. This report could not be verified. Watson tonight ac- cused Smith and Hardwick of causing the uproar.

Chattanooga, September 2.-While de- ploring the fact that publicity was given his petition against Joseph H. Choate, George w. Chamlee, the local attorney who filed it, does not regret the institution of charges against MT. Choate and does not intend to drop the matter, it is as- serted. It is likely the matter will be threshed out in the courts of New York. On the advice of friends MT.

He insists that a fair consideration of the transaction will result in a complete ex- oneration for all interested parties. MT. Chamlee furnished copy of the petition to the papers.
 Officers and members of the associa- ton claim that the petition should have been BuaFueu uiiti IL was sNeH ou' ps the secretary. John R. Watts of New York, at whose instance MT. Chamblee preferred charges against MT. Choate, is still in the city. He refused to consent to the charges being withdrawn.
 After a conference between MT. Cham lee and MT. Watts had been concluded today, the former gave out the following statement:
 My connection with the incident was just as a lawyer who files a bill for his client, and when advised by my friends to request it's withdrawal, I did so. My request was referred to the same com mittee that has the petition.
 "Mr Watts concurs with me in the po- sition that we owe it to ourselves as well as to MT. Choate to proceed with the in- vestigation."
