AT HOUSTON'S DEMAND

Some of the men interested in the
Progressive party, including several
of the New Castle county members
of the party's State committee. had
conference last night in the Office Of
Irving Warner. and talked over their
attitude regarding the third party
movement. Those i'm the conference
were S. Frank Ewart, w p. White,
DR.. S. G. Ebert and Irving Warner,
Charles Warner Dr. Walter o. Stack
and Herman Dohl
OF the men named, Mr. White, Mr.
Ewart Or. Ebert and Mr. Dohl are
opposed to an out-and-Out Progress
sive third ticket, but arc favorable to
a conn omise ON the Republican State
and gressional ticket with Roose-
welt eiectors at the head of it. Thomas
S. Fouracre, OF Middletown, and
Theodore B. Rogers, of State Road,
members of the State committee, were
not present last night. but their at
titude is understood to be the same
as that of the other committeeman
named Arthur A. Wilmot, a mem
bor Of the State committee. favors
a straight-out third ticket for the
Progressiyes.
The Progressives in conference last
night talked over the desirability of
having a ticket with Roosevelt cleo
tors and the Republican State ticket
with possibly a change in it to please
the ProgressiveB
This attitude will be taken by the
State committeeman who were in the
conference and who went TO Dover to-
day TO attend the Progressive State
committee meeting. Robert G. Hous-
ton, J. Frank Alice. Dr. Caleb r.
Layton, Senator L. A. Drexler and
other down-State Progressives, who
have gotten control of the new party S
organization, are opposed TO any
compromise with the Republicans and
are demanding a straight-out Pro

II was learned that night that when
Robert G Houston who is State
chairman. visited Wilmington the
early part of last week he had con.
ference with many Of the Wilmington
Progressive leaders about the situa-
tion in New Castle county, and was
told plainly that sentiment among the
Progressives i'm Wilmington is for a
ticket with Roosevelt electors and
one State and Congressional ticket
to save the State from passing into
Democratic control.
Mr. Houston then bluntly told the
Wilmington Progressives that those
members of the State committee not
favorable 10 a straight-out Progress
sive ticket should resign from the
State committee. but they said they
would not do so Under the party
rules they cannot be ousted unless
two-thirds of all the members of the
State committee vote to remove them

sives arc talking of appealing TO Col

MISSING MAN
AMONG DEAD
GOttIieb WhOIfOrt, Absent Ten
Weeks, Left His Be-
IOnginGS Here
FRIENDS FEAR HE
IS RIVER VICTIM

Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance of Gottlieb Wholfort, aged 2S
years, who left his boarding house
on the east side Of the city ten weeks
ago.since which time nothing has been
heard of him He boarded with the
family Of Benjamin r. Dunn, at No.
g03 Spruce street, and is given a
splendid name by the Dunns
That the man committed suicide or
met with foul play seems to be the
belief This opinion is strengthened
by reason that Wholfort left all his
belongings here except the suit OF
clothes he wore. In his room at the
home of the Dunns are two suits of
clothing. his working trousers, a
dress suit case,all his underwear and
in fact everything he possessed. He
also left a gold watch and chain.
Wholfort was a baker by trade
and was last employed by Emil E.
Wagner, who conduct a bakery at
Thirteenth and Forrest streets. He
quit this position on Saturday night
and the following Wednesday after
noon, disappeared. He paid his board
to Mrs. Dunn.
On the day he left, Wholfort in
formed MfS. DuNn tHdl ne Ndb boihh
to New Castle TO visit his former em-
ployer, John NJ Vallett. who has a
bakery there. He did not reach Mr..
Vallett's place.
Mrs Dunn found among her miss
ing boarder's effect several letters
from friends of the man, including
one from a Miss Lena Orthwein, OF
No. 1244 South Ringgold street, Phil
adelphia Mrs. Dunn wrote TO all
these parties and received answers
from them 10 the effect that they had
not seen Wholfort.
Mr. Vallett is at loss to understand
what became of the man, and on
hearing a day or two ago Of the body
of an unidentified man being found
in the Delaware River. at Philadel-
phia. thought perhaps that it might
be that of Wholfort. The description
Vallette says, tallies with that OF the
missing man. No one went to Phila
delphia, however. 70 Investigate, ant
whether the body is still at tn
morgue there is not known.
Wholfort was German and cam
here from Philadelphia. He WORKED
in New Castle for some time and thei
came to Wilmington, where he fount
