WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The pub
Iished declaration of Walter Brown, of
Toledo. chairman Of the Republican
State Committee of Ohio. that Roose-
Welt is the first choice for President of
a majority of the Ohio Republicans, is
an embarrassing development for Presi-
dent Taft and his supporters. 1t was
accepted here as certain evidence that
President Taft will not be able to en-
ter the Republican national convention
with a solid delegation behind him from
his own State,
President Taft's Ohio friends and
others of his advisers were plainly dis
appointed by this development and ad-
mitted they had not been prepared
for such an announcement.

MAN BROWNS IN HUGE
NAPHTHA-FILLED TANK

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-Presumahly
overcome by naphtha fumes. Clarence
A. Fuller. who lived at 5 Scott street,
Richmond Hill, Queens, was found
drowned in a large oil tank in the
plant of the Kings. County Oil Works.
To make tests Fuller had to climb
a ladder to the top of the tank. Over
each tank is a plank about a foot wide,
protected on the sides with ropes. The
superstition is that Fuller while on this
plank was overcome and dropped into
the tank. which contained thousands Of
barrels of oil.
