Albany, N. r., September 30.--Gov- ernor Dix today Issued reply to Gov ernor Wilson's statement issued last night in which the presidential candi- date called upon the delegates to the state democratic convention at Syra- cuse to choose as candidate for gov ernor a progressive "of the kind to be his own master" For pugnaclty in pro- gressiveness in administration during the past two years no state in tho union hns a record equal to that of the ftate of New York, Mr. Dix declared. He said:
 ''If there is misrepresentation of MT. Wilson's remarks to impress the public that he does not desire my renomina - ton, am frank to say that after the reported interview in Syracuse the fault is with the press and not with him, as his personal letters to me ex- press a very different attitude"

AN UNKNOWN MAN ATTACKS WOMEN IN NORTH BIRMINGHAM Posse Formed and Is Now Chasing Mysterious
 Assailant BELIEVED ROBBERY
 WAS ONLY MOTIVE Mrs. Jennie Lanier and Miss Vola Lanier Grabbed as They Were
 in Back Yard Last
 Night

Bloodhounds in the charge of deputies are securing the vicinity of North Bir- mingham in search of a negro who late yesterday evening assaulted and at- tempted to rob Mrs. Jennie Lanier and Miss vola Lanier in the rear yard of their mothers home, 222o Thirty first avenue. Up till the time of going to press no news had been obtained of the success of the posse.
 According to the account which Jim Lanier gave the sheriffs office last night. his sister, Miss vola Lanier. and his brothers wife were at the home of their mother and had gone out Into the back yard about 8 o'clock.
 Near the back gate man rose out of the shadows and caught Miss vola Lanier by the arm and attempted to get hold of her sister-in-law. But Mrs. Lanier. when she saw the man reach for her, fainted and. fell to the ground.
 Grabbed at Brooch
 The negro attempted to snatch brooch from Miss Lanier's waist. but the girl fought him and tried to break away. Mrs. T. P. Lanier. the mother of the two young ladies, was sitting on the back steps of the house and saw the man. She screamed but was so paralyzed with fear she could not move. The girl after a struggle broke away and the stranger then disappeared cut of the gate. At the time of the assault there was no one about the place except the women and there was no one within hearing who could have come to their aid. The mother and daughter carried in Mrs. Lanier and called the doctor. About that time Jim Lanier came in and he immediately no- tifed the sheriff and formed posse of citizens to look for the unknown man The women had been so frightened that they were unable to give description Of the man, and it is feared that he will get away. They were not sure whether he
 was a negro or white man. Mss Vola Lanier's arm was badly bruised and se- verely wrenched.
 Mrs. Jennie Lanier, who fainted, has never completely revived. Her condi- ton Is exceedingly critical owing so physicians say to the scare which she experienced. She did not regain con- sciousness until an hour later and then if was found that her mind was a blank.
