CHIEF WITNESS is
ORDERED RECALLED
Court Compels District At
torney to Question Wit
ness for the Defense After
Counsel for Becker Had
Refused to Do So-Had
Previously Refused to Ad-
NIT Testimony.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 22.-The introduc-
ton of evidence in the trial Of form :
er Police Lieutenant Charles Becker,
charged with instigating the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, closed today.
The lawyers will make their argu-
ments to the jury tomorrow and the
case Is expected to be in the jury's
hands next Thursday.
A dramatic finish to evidence taking
today was when Justice Goff instruct
ed the admission of the evidence of
Jack Sullivan, the defense's star wit
ness, concerning an alleged conspir-
acy on the part of the gamblers to kill
Rosenthal. He had previously ruled
that part of the evidence out. John
Mcintyre, counsel for Becker said he
did not wish it, although he had pre-
viously tried to get it in. He refused
to question Sullivan and Justice Goff
then instructed District Attorney
Whitman to examine the witness on
the questions previously excluded,
which he did.
New York. Oct. 28.-Justice Goff re-
opened the testimony and recalled to
the stand Jack Sullivan, who had
previously testified for the defense.
There were certain questions put
by the defense to this witness which
/ excluded before. I now permit you
to put those questions, he said to
John F. Mcintyre, Becker's chief coun-
sci.
Counsel Declined.
Mr.. Mcintyre said he declined to
put the questions now, as he preferred
to let his case stand as it was.
"Then I direct the district attorney
to ask the witness these questions"
said Justice Goff, "in the interest Of
the defense"
Mr. McIntyre's vigorous objections
were disregarded.
The morning session had been TAX
en- up mainly with testimony to sus-
tain the defense's contention that the
informers. Rose. Webber, Vallon and
Schepps had framed up" Becker to
save themselves.
BY the courts direction Jack Sui
livan was recalled.
What did Rose say to you in the
counsel room?' asked the district at
torney OF Sullivan.
HE said, self preservation Is the
first law of nature; I had to testify
against Becker to save my life"
What did Bridge Webber say?'
"He said, I'm the happiest man in
the world. That - Rosenthal is
dead and 1 don't have to worry about
his getting me now. Now, Jack it's
all been fixed up by the district attor-
ney for you to corroborate us when
we testify. We are all Jews and what
do we care about that Dutch -
Becker, anyhow?
"Did Rose say anything else to
your
"Yes, he said that he and Webber
and Vallon. and Schepps were going
to frame UP Becker and I said why,
you bald headed what do
you mean by this2' He said well you
know. self preservation is the first law
of nature"
Sullivan said he took no part in the
assassination of Rosenthal nor in the
alleged conspiracy of Rose, Webber,
vallon and Schepps to assassinate the
gambler.
Bridge Webber said to me, the
only way you can get out is for you
to do as Mr.. Whitman says and swear
you saw Becker at Forty second street
and Sixth avenue a few hours
after the murder. II you do that, you

claim that they viii win out on the

for the New Jersey executive, and now
that there is to be a presidential pre-

friends of the New Jersey executive
expect to win many delegates there.
All reports from the southern states
indicate that Governor Wilson has

situation has improved for Governor
Wilson, while in Kentucky where both
Speaker Clark and Chairman Under
wood were born, the trend is strongly
in the direction of the New Jersey ex-
ecutive. a letter from prominent
kentuckian today expressed the opin-
ion that Governor Wilson would have
a mapority of the delegation from that
state. All reports from the west are
of an equally encouraging character.
Governor Wilson is the only candidate
for the democratic presidential nomi-
nation who is making a contest in
every state in the nation, and the news
that is being received from those who
are leading the fight in his behalf from
every section is uniformly good.

WILSON MEN CLAIM

Washington. March Especial -
That Woodrow Wilson viii have ap-
proximately 500 delegates when the
democratic national convention assem-
bles in Baltimore, June 25th, and that
he will be nominated on the first bal
lot was the claim of the campaign
managers of the New Jersey executive
at the Munsey building quarters today.
There will be 1,O94 delegates in the
convention and 730 will be necessary
for choice under the two-thirds rule.
In making this claim the Wilson peo.
pie did not enumerate states, but they
pointed out that in less than a month
the Pennsylvania primaries would
elect more Wilson delegates than are
now claimed at the present time by
all the other candidates combined.
Primaries in Pennsylvania are to be
held on April 18th, and although dele
gate candidates have been announced
in every district in the state, not a
candidate for delegate has offered him
self in opposition to Governor Wood
row Wilson The sentiment in Penn
sylvania is well-night unanimous for
Governor Wilson and there is no
doubt but that he will have the rs
delegates to be chosen to the Balti-
more convention.
1t is asserted by the Wilson cam.
paigners that Speaker Clark has shot
his bolt They emphasize the fact
that the Missouri, Oklahoma and Kan
sas state conventions were called far
in advance of the other state conven.
tions in the expectation that the
speaker would have the solid and
unanimous vote from those states and
would 90 to the country with such
prestige as might result The speaker
lost half of Oklahoma and just skinned
through in Kansas by bare 23 ma
jirity in o convention of more than
700 delegates. The results in both
states were surprising as well as dis
appointing to the opposition to Cover
nor Wilson, who made a great race in
the home of Mr.. Clark, in the face of
great odds. Organization and money
was arrayed against Governor Wilson's
friends who made gallant fight The
friends of Governor Wilson had ex-
pected nothing in Kansas, and were
surprised when the convention declar-
ed for him as its second choice. But
for the imposition of the unit rule the
Wilson people would have had the
eight delegates from the four congress
