Richmond, Va, Dec. 6.-The Gov
ernors' conference unanimously repudi-
ated to-day the utterances Of Governor
Blease of South Carolina concerning
the lynching Of negroes. BY vote Of
il to it adopted resolution declar-
ing against mob violence and for the
impartial enforcement of the law. The
four Governors who opposed the res
olution declared themselves as strongly
indorsing its purport, but voted NO
because they thought they had no right
TO reprmand a colleague.
Governor Blease hotly defended his
convictions, snapped his fingers in the
face Of his colleagues, told them TO "go
to it," declared he cared not a whit
what the conference said, thought, did
or did not do, and announced that all
the resolutions they might ever adopt
would neither keep him from the Gov
ernor's chair nor from a seat in the

-Four times within as many hours. ne
asserted his life had been threatened
because Of his utterances. but this ap-
pealed 10 him as little as the resolution
The four threatening letters Gov
ernor Blease received were all anony-
nous. One was mailed i'm Richmond,
another in Washington. the third in
Louisville and the fourth in Pittsburgh.

would pay the penalty II he ever came

by dozen governors. Governor Carey

claiming a monopoly for South Caro-
lima Of the respect of the white man
for women" Governor Hadey OF Mis-
souri, declared the floor OF the con-
ference hall was not clearing
house for local and personal con-
troversies." Governor Goldsborough OF
Maryland declared ne stood solidly by
the resolution. because IL vas matter
of right Governor Dix Of New York

speech which was drowned time after
time by applause. asserted his belief
that the entire conference had been be-
Titled by tile South Carolnian's re-
marks. and that il was the sworn duty
of every executive TO uphold the law
and the enforcement OF law.
To these declarations Governor Blease
replied that he had been quoted yester-
day as saying Ito hell with the Consti-
tuition" and that what he said yester-
day he repeated to-day to "all the good
governors here: to all the governors Of
all the states to all the people OF the
United States" Once, when his voice
was drowned in a storm OF Kisses. he
turned to the galleries and to his col
leagues and laughed.

asked. Then shaking his clenched fist.
