TO CONTEST FOR
HAuCEN'S SEAT
FOURTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS MAKE CHARGE OF
FRAUD.

New Hampton, Nov 25.-Alleging
fraud and that improper political
methods were used, democratic leaders
of the fourth Iowa congressional dis
trict have decided to contest the cleo
ton Of Cor. FRESHMAN G.. n. haugen, re.
publican, over D. D. Murphy, democrat.
The decision was reached at meet
ing Of the democratic leaders Of the
district held at New Hampton, and
which was attended by Judge Martin
~. Wade, democratic national COM
mitteeman for Iowa.
The democrats ask that a recount OF
the ballots be made, F. a. O'Conner OF
this city being chosen to manage the
contest.
One of the charges which is brought
by the democrats is that the r nbers
Of the postoffce department, including
the rural and city mail carriers, at the
request and insistance of Congressman
Haugen, were perniciously active in his
campaign. They claim that they have
plenty Of proof to unseat Haugen with
out recount If necessary.
Both parties are preparing for the
fight and both parties are claiming the
victory in the contest. Congressman
Haugen's majority over Murphy was
between 130 and 200.
Mr.. O'Conner in lengthy letter is
sued to the press last night set forth
the position Of the democratic party
and committee In the matter.

CURED with the senate In granting

The capital slept last night with

it. Toward l O'clock this morning the
mutinous scout boat Deodore fired up
on the naval arsenal The cannonad-
ing did not last long and little damage
was done The Deodore, accompanied
by the battleships Minas and Gera
then put to sea. The local garrisons
and loyal torpedo boats did not re-
spond, although according to this
mornings papers the officers had re-
ceived sinister orders as to their duty
in certain contingencies. The morning
broke with the mutinOus craft still
outside the harbor and they did not re-
turn to port until some hours later.
1t is officially stated the trouble is
not of a political character, and should
be described as a mutiny among the
sailors to enforce certain con cesslons
from their officers. rather than re-
volt against the administration OF
President Fonseca.
For some time the men OF the navy

LEAOER ANSWERS
WARM CRITICISM
PRESIDENT GoMPPERs AssAILED
At LABOR MEETING AND
DEFENDS COURSE.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 25.- Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers was called
upon to refend a charge that. the
executive council of the American
Federation Of Labor recently had been
Influenced by the American Newspaper
Publishers association. at yesterday
afternoons session Of the convention.
The controversy was precipitated as
the result OF special committee re-
port upholding the action OF the execu-
tive council in preventing boycott
on the San Francisco Call, which q
newspaper solicitors union some
months ago, desired to make effective.
Andrew J. Gallagher, of the San
Francisco Trades and Labor council.
took up the cudgel of the newspaper
solicitors. He said the federation
council. as the result Of influence
brought to bear by the publishers, had
threatened to revoke the charter Of
the newly organized solicitors Il they
continued the boycott. He claimed
that J. M. Lynch, president OF the In
ternational Typographical union, was
aligned with Gompers and the pub
fishers.
The latter. in ::troiic speech, de-.
MED tina, Undue influence had been re-
sponsible for the action Of the FEEDER
alton council.
President Gompers explained that he
had advised the action because the So.
lfcitors' union being directly chartered
by the federation, had taken UP TIE
boycott. without reference to the par
ent body, and without reasonable ex-
cuse.
The convention sustained him and
the executive council by adopting the
special committee report almost unaa-
ltmously.
