CHICAGO, July IA second slap
at socialism was delivered today by
the annual convention OF the Ancient
Order of Hibernians when the creden-
tials Of Edward Norton, of Whining
ton, Del, president of his own county
organization were turned down. The
reason given for not seating Norton as
a delegate to the national convention
was that he was a socialist and had
been working recently as an organizer
for the party in Wilmington. Norton
today admitted that he was a social
INT and said that he had been one for
the last ten years, only recently be-
coming active as an organizer.
The convention has taken a deter
mined stand against socialism since
Bishop John T. Carroll, of Montana
delivered sermon III which he
strongly denounced the creed of So
cialism and said that if allowed to
| get a substantial foothold in the ma
tion would destroy religion and wreck
the country.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Progressive re-
publicans of Illinois who will support
Colonel Roosevelt today voiced the
opinion that there would be no third
party in the field for state offices.
This view was based upon the action
OF the conference held here yesterday
In refusing to incorporate on the call
for the state convention provision
for state ticket This action was
Immediately followed by the with
drawal of Charles q. Merriam, form
er republican mayoralty candidate OF
Chicago; John Simon, Chicago; Julius
Kespohl, Quincy; DR.. John Doyle,
Springfield and Fred S. Wilbur, East
st. Louis. These men had been fight
ing for third party ticket for every
state and county office. Merriam an
nounced that he would continue to
fight for progressive principles but
that he would remain within the reg
ular republican lines. Advocates Of a
third state ticket declared that Gov
ernor Deneen had packed the confer.
ence to head off any movement that
might defeat his candidacy. A com.
mittee Of five will be appointed to in.
teryiew candidates on the regular re-
lpublican state ticket and report theil

this is found unsatisfactory, thir,
state ticket advocates have a loophol

NEW YORK, July l7.-With an
ouen @ feud existing between District
Attorney Whitman and the police au-
tborities developments OF the most
sensational character in the gambling
situation were imminent today. Whit
man openly charged that Herman
Rosenthal, murdered in front Of the
Hotel Metropole early yesterday, was
the victim OF the police system. He
said fatty that he was killed not
alone to close his mouth, but the pub
lie place was selected for the murder
50 that others who might desire to-
"squeals would be properly terrorized.
The police bitterly denied and re-
lented Whitman's characterizations.
They insisted that Rosenthai WIS kill
ed because he talked too much about
the gambling situation and that he
was put out Of the way by the down.
town gambling syndicate. The said
they will prove this by the arrest
within short time of every one OF
Rosenthal's murderers.
But Whitman Is having an independ-
ent Investigation made. He Is posi-
lively certain that he will place no
credence in any case the police may
furnish him He positively declared
that Il the police were sincere they
would have arrested the murderers
on the spot.
There we're FIVE policemen within
800 feet Of the shooting. said Whit
man today. Two within 100 feet of It
and one within fifty. Yet, five men
we're able to shoot to pieces the
head Of a grand jury witness, get in
