Ir Faction Ousted

g, Pa. May 7.--In the same
 the regular republican or
 yn of Pennsylvania was over
 last week. the regular demo-
 state organization today was
 5t out of power by the ''reorgan- Iion" faction after a fight lasting Dsar,y two years. The "reorganiza- tion' victory was complete and no re- sistance was made by the regulars after the vote on permanent chairman of the stato convention showed that their op- ponents controlled the convention by no votes to 73. The party has been split for more than a year and two state committees have directed the des- tinies of Pennsylvania's democracy.
 The "reorganizers" under the leader slip of George ". Guthrie former mayor of Pittsburg. Vance c. Mccor- mick. former mayor of Harrisburg and Congressman Palmer. named complete state ticket, elected 12 delegates at large and 12 alternates to Baltimore and gave them binding instructions to vote for Woodrow Wilson "as long as his name remains before the conven- tion;" selected six electors at large: adopted their own platform and ratified the selection of the ''reorganizers" state committee in electing Mir. Guthrie state chairman.

Headquarters Clash

Y Washington, May 1.-The Taft and Roosevelt national headquarters clashed today over the Maryland primary result. The word lie was freely used by Sem ator Dixon, head of the Roosevelt com mittee. Early in the day the Taft head quarters put out a statement on the Mary land results. part of which follows:
 More than half of Mir. Roosevelt's en- tire delegate vote came from the city and county of Baltimore, where 1t is stat ed the Roosevelt managers placed s10,000 among their workers at an early hour yesterday.
 Another part said.
 Tn Prince George county, which defin- itely decided the contest so far as present returns Indicate, Roosevelt money In large amounts was poured itno the county. Large rolls of small bills. accompanied by checks -fo be used if needed. were s@lt But from Washington on Sunday, at least one well known leader in the district hay ing voluntarily exhibited such a roll in Washington on Sunday afternoon
 This statement was duly delivered in the Roosevelt headquarters about noon. the riv5l organizations having an amicable ar engagement whereby they exchange daily bulletins and statements.

Dixon's Reply

Here is Senator Dixon's answer:
 "Every one of these statement is de- lfberate, wilful lie. Every man connected with their connection and circulation is a deliberate, wilful liar. These lies are cir- culated for the purpose, and for tne. only purpose possible. for which liars always lie"
 President Taft's managers today stated that the President lis entitled and will receive the votes of four of the delegates from the state of Maryland to the repub- 1ican national convention.
 yesterday gave Colonel Roosevelt ap- parent control of the state convention which. is to select Maryland's entire dele ration of 16 to Chicago.
