 audience tried to lynch the assassin. Several reports had 1t that a musician
 was wounded also. The minister of finance. M. Kokovsoff, was sitting be-
 side NJ. Stolypin at the time of the
 attack. ts
 This is not the. first attempt made against the life of Premier Stolypin. When governor of Saratov in 905 three shots were. fired at him but without effect On August 25. 1906, a bomb
 was thrown while Stolypin. then pre-
 mer, was holding public reception at his country house on Aptekarsky lisland. The premier was slightly
 wounded. Thirty-two persons were killed and a still larger number
 wounded, including the premier's 15-
 year old daughter and his 3year-old son. nt At that time there was a reign of terrorism in many parts of Russia. When Stolypin accepted the premier ship in July, 1906, he was perfectly conscious of his danger. He remark ed
 at the time:
 ''1 have no dOuDt that attempts. WILL be made upon n.y life. but I hope that order will be restored and stability established in Russia before they are successful"

 According to dispatches to the Novoe Vremya the liver was punctured and the wound was mortal. The same dis patches after the wounded premier was removed from the house said the au- dience insisted upon singing the ma tional anthem to the successor of Al Witt.
 M. Stolypin resigned as minister or the interior March 20 of this year, but three days later recalled his action. The
 resignation was presented because the

REPEAL REPORTED
 LEADING IN MAINE Official Vote Gives Majority
 of 134 Votes IS SSTILL IN DOUBT Associated Press Reports Give "Drys" Majority of 356 Votes, But the Secretary of State Claims
 Opposite Result
IS ssTILL IN DOUBT

Portland Me. September 4.-An appar- en. majority of 134 votes for the repeal of the liquor prohibitory amendment of the constitution of the state was announced in an official statement issued tonight by Secretary of State Cyrus w. Davis as the outcome of Mondays, election.
 The secretary's report was based on signed returns from town clerks. Certain discrepancies which indicate err TOTS by town officials in returning the vote were not taken into account in the report of the secretary. The law requires the secretary simply to tabulate the tg- ures as received.
 The discrepancies were averred by leaders of the anti-repeal adherents to be sufficient to change the complexion of the result to a dry majority
 Only the canvass of the vote by the governor and council subsequently can the discrepancies be reconciled.
 Returns compiled in this city and given the Associated Press indicated tonight a majority of 33s for the ''drys," taking into account the alleged discrepancies in re- ports of town clerks
 
 Portland, Me. September H.-Returns received at the office of the secretary of state up to today, with only six towns missing, and the six supplied by returns received in Portland showed: For repeal of prohibition, so,5l7. Against repeal, 60,3SS.
 Majority for repeal 1S4.
 An official recount will probably be necessary to determine the result of the bslloting.
 Portland Me, September 14.-tBulietin) Constitutional prohibitions fate in Maine remains in doubt.

Object to Judge SanbOrn's Minnesota Rate Case
 Decision
GOVERNOR O'NEAL
 MADE THE MOTION
Dr. Anna Shaw and Other Noted Suf- fragist Leaders Address Gov ernors in Interest of Votes
 for Women"

Spring Lake, N. J., September 14-Gov- ernors of>e5 states voted this afternoon to unite in protesting to the supreme court of the United States against what they consider an invasion of states rights by federal courts. The decision of Judge Sanborn in the so called Minnesota rate case is the iHvason cited to which the governors object.
 By action they established precedent In American history.
 Governor Judson Harmon and former Attorney General of the United States will head a committee of protest His colleagues will be Herbert s. Hadley. gov ernor of Missouri and Chester H. AL drich. governor of Nebraska.
 The motion to appoint such a commit- tee to voice the views of the conference was made by Gov. Einmet O'Neal of Ala bama. Action was declared unanimous, although Governor William Kitchen of North Carolina, the twenty-sixth delegate who alone opposed it. did so, he said, solely because it would be a departure from precedent.
 Governor Harmon supplied the original suggestion for the plan, according ,o Governor ONeal but in the sharp debate following the introduction of the meas ure, MT. Harmon took no part.
 Introduction of the motion was uncx- pected. Goverfior Aldrich's ringing de- nunciation of what he termed ''the in- evasion of the functions and organic rights 6f the states by the minor federal courts" discussed in the morning. pro- yoked an ovation and was followed in the afternoon by an address by Gov. Francis E. McGovern of Wisconsin upon the same
