HANKOW ATTACKED
BY 1000 REBELS
Fierce Fighting Reported at Gates of

Delighted.

Picking. -Fighting between force
of 1000 revolutionists and the imperial
troops at Hankow was renewed TWEEN
ty miles up the river by the republi-
cans who had not received notice of
the PRONUNCIATION of an armistice.
The fighting, which is reported to
be extremely fierce, continued nearly
all day. An imperialist army of more
than $4,000 occupies Hankow and is
thought here to be amply able to de-
fend it from capture.
The leaders of the imperialists are
onstrated by the latest outbreak. This
they claim will give them the oppor-
tunity of avoiding the result of the
proposed national convention, which
was to decide the future form of gov
eminent for China 1t was the opin-
ion of the imperialists that the con-
vention would vote for republic. The
position the Republican conferees in
the gathering at Shanghai will take,

Word was received by the Manchu
princes here that the Republican de-
egates to the peace conference are

emperor and his clansmen and will

tates of the Manchus

OHIO INSURGENTS
/ REJECT AN Av0WAL
Refuse to Indorse La Toilette as
1912 Choice.
VOTE FOLLOWS LONG DEBATE
Declare, However, Wisconsin Senator
Embodies Principles of Movement
and Is Logical Candidate
to Carry Them Out.

Columbus, Ohio. - The Ohio pro-
gresslve Republican co n e re C e
here by vote of 50 to 50 refused to
indorse Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
as candidate upon whom the pro-
gressives could unite for the nomina-
ton for president at the Chicago con-
vention
After refusing the Endorsement of
the league, the delegates voted, 81 to
II, in favor of resolution as a per-
sOnal expression of the delegates nam
ing Senator La Toilette as the living
embodiment of the principles of the
progressive movement and the logical
candidate. to carry them to successful
fruition''
The vote came after three hours
debate on the floor of the convention
and was on the adoption of an amend
ment to the report Of the resolution
committee, which had been unanimous
ly in favor Of not naming candidate.
Clifford Pinchot, who declared that
he spoke only for himself and in no
way for Colonel Roosevelt, and for
were the leaders in the debate against
giving any candidate an Endorsement.
Senator Works of California and Sen
ator Clapp of Minnesota were vigorous
in urging that the Ohio progressives
concentrate their efforts in working
for the election of Senator La Fol
lette.
The resolution, which was adopted
and which had been submitted to the
resolutions committee by Pinchot,
Walter L. Houser and John D. Fack-
Ter. temporary chairman of the Ohio
organization. read as follows:
We are opposed to the denomination
of President Taft We hereby declare
it to be the determined purpose Of the
Ohio Progressive Republican League
to work in harmony and unison to
nominate progressive Republican for
president, recognizing as fellow pro-
gressives all who hold the principles
for the presidential nomination of Rob-
ert M. La Toilette or Theodore Roose-
welt or any other progressive Repub-
lican
We assert the essential unity of the
progressive movement throughout the
entire state and nation.
We favor the election of delegates
who will favor the nomination of a
candidate who Will fully represent the
progressive principle.
A declaration of principles adopted
unanimously was substantially the one
prepared by committee appointed
at meeting of progressives of the
Western Reserve. On the question of
national policies, 1t followed the lines
of the platform adopted by the pro-
gressive conference in Chicago.
