HOT CONTESTIN NORFOLK co.

Yesterday, as stated in the Gazette of
that date, was day of sensations in
Norfolk in connection with the investi-
CATION Of the Second district democratic
primary. Counsel who are looking
out for the interests of voters in the
contest filed with the investigating
committee bill OF their findings in
the investigation, as did attorneys for
Representative Harry l.. Maynard, who
is contesting the nomination of Will
liam A. Young, his opponent in the
primary. Young has until Tuesday to
file his reply and make any charges
before the committee which he may
|see fit
Counsel for both the voters and May
nard make allegations OF fraud and
other corrupt practices in the conduct
of the primary election. The seven at
torneys for the democratic voters con-
fined their charges mostly to the second
precinct Of the Second ward Of Norfolk
although the Halls Corner precinct in
Norfolk county came in for a good
share OF attention. The Maynard forces
also ficrccly assaled the election in the
second precinct OF the, Second ward OF
Norfolk, and made Wholesale charges
of corruption in Norfolk county. Both
the precincts gave Young overwhclm-
ing majoritics. In the second precinct,
according TO the returns, Young re-
ceiycd 500 votes to - for Maynard,
whereas yesterday.
the attorneys claim that they can
produce upward of so citizens who are
registered at the ward and who were
returned as voted, but are ready to
state on oath that they did not go
near the polls on election day. The
allegation is made that there are
many others who did not vote, but are
recorded as having done so, and up
ward OF 100 others who did not vote
because they we're not in the city or could
not have legally voted because they had
not paid their poll taxes. Counsel for
Maynard claim that there are several
hundred such in Norfolk county.
These charges implicate the demo-
cratic leaders of Norfolk and Norfolk
county in practices which will very
probably result in grand jury inves-
legations, and which will likely mean
a new primary election in the district.
Young, in his reply, is expected to
make counter charges and handle with
out gloves the election in Portsmouth,
Maynard's home town, which gave
that candidate an abnormaly large vote.
In the meantime, the counsel for May
nard and his friends will keep right
on delving into the records OF the
primary for other evidence. Young
has an apparent primary majority
over Maynard OF As, which would be
more han wiped out if but faction
of the charges already filed be sub.
Stimulated. But counsel for Young
are yet to be heard from, and it is
certain that they will spring some sur
prises.
1t is the opinion Of well-informed
men that the primary must be invall
dated by the democratic state central
committee. The district is stirred up
over the investigation rs it has not
baan for piars

EQUIP PMENT
FOR ARMY
TO BE GIVEN NEW OUT
FITS WHICH WILL WEIGH SEW
EN- POUNDS LESS THAN THE
PRESENT EQUIPMENT. COM.
FORT AND LIGHT WEIGHT ARE
the CHEF CONSIDERATION.

Washington, Aug. 24-Following the
action of a board of army officials,
appointed to improve the outfit Of the
men in the infantry branch of the
army. new equipment is now being
manufactured at Rock Island arsenal,
which will prove a greater comfort
to the soldier and better his effici-
ency in the field. The boards action,
approved by Secretary Dickinson,
seeks to improve everything the SOL
der needs, except clothing, ammuni-
tion and rifle.
Comfort and light weight are the
chief desiderata. The new accoutre-
ments will weigh thirty-eight pounds,
or seven pounds lighter than the old,
the difference meaning that the infan-
try can march longer and with less
fatigue.
The old equipment was the subject
Of criticism by troops in the field,

COLONEL STARTS WESTWARD
Colonel is Aware that the Roosevelt
Hughes Forces May Be Defeated in
New York, but is Determined to
Wage War Without Quarter Upon
His Opponents From Now Until
Election.

Utica, New York, Aug. 24-Theodore
Roosevelt served notice today that
he would wage war without quarter
on the "old guard" of the republican
party of New York state. Having been
drawn into the fight, as he says,
against his will, he has determined
to pursue it to the e2d, win Or lose.
Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude was ildi-
Gated more clearly than at any .Inle
before by statement which lie is
sued today. The colonel said he was
going into the ighS with bis eyes
open, and with full realization Of :hc
fact that he might noC he successful.
He said he fel. that on account Of
the attitude Of members Of the orga;li-
zation he was at perfect liberty to
carry on uncompromising warfare.
Some of Mr.. Eooseve:' closest
friends in the state have tod him that
they were doubt:1! IS 10 the outcome
and he has replied that oe simply
felt that even though he should he

tion at Saratoga and such platfo: m
as he desired should be adopted the
result of the election would he in
grave doubt. The colonel has told
his friends that he did not feel sire
that the Roosevelt-Hughes forces
would receive unqualified support
from the organization at the polls.
Colonel Roosevelt's Endorsement of
State Senator Frederick Davenport
yesterday was the first step in the
fight which he expects to carry on
from now until election time. Vice
President Sherman, who is one of the
central figures in the struggle and
whom Col. Roosevelt opposed by his
endorsement of Senator Davenport,
said emphatically tonight that he
would not talk about the situation.
Mr.. Sherman has been refusing inter.
views several times day and tonight
he said positively that he would have
no statement to make at any time,
so far as he could see at present.
COL Roosevelt spent the day with
his brother-in.law, Douglas Robinson,
at his country home, twenty miles
east of Utica. Late tonight he went
to Herkimer by auto and came to
Utica by train to resume his west
ward trip.
