BOOSTS COT TON

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-There was an eN-
cited opening OF the cotton market today
when sharp upturn carried prices 3 to
q points above Fridays closing Sensa-
uonal cables which at one time were fully
20 points higher than due. and killing
frosts m the eastern belt were the factors
which resulted In the rise It was re-
ported by crop experts here that the ris-
ing temperatures scheduled to follow pres
ent cold snap would add to the injury 10
the crop
The substantial upturn at the outset
today was met with some resistance from
many different sources by the many
cables which We're sent to Liverpool re
porting freezing weather OF course this
combined with optimistic war news had
d very stimulating effect, which encour
aged the scattered longs to realize. and
the selling became rather heavy, result
ing in net loss Of about to 10 points
generally from the opening. There was
no market evidence Of the larger spot
houses taking profit; instead. they read
lily absorbed most of the offerings How
at the opening
During the afternoon trading there was
Il good buying wave with the larger ring
spectators and spot brokers leading the
aggressive movement and prices regatned
the carly decline and throughout the late
trading continued to sag about the initial
figures. This support was chiefly intiu-
enced by the holiday tomorrow on account
of election day.
At the close the market was firm with
a net gain in prices of 90 TO q points
from the final quotations of Friday.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Kansas pri>
mary election case which involves =
unique point Of great importance Ia the
machinery Of the national election. was
laid before the justices OF ths United
States supreme court here today.
Directly or indirectly the decision Of
the Justices will settle whsthas eight

In tho electoral college for Theodore
Roosevelt may have their names on tho
ballot submitted to the people Of Kan
sas at the republican primary there on
Aug 6. Emergency action by the court
was necessary 80 that tho primary
ballots might be printed In time for the
election.
TAFT Leaders Complain.
Tho plaintiffs are the Kansas Taft
leaders and the action. which takes the
form OF an application for writ OF
error. Is defended by several attorneys
representing the Roosevelt party. In

tative =. s. jackson, Of Topeka. Rap-

appeared for the applicants.
The question at issue u . broad one.
The Taft leaders declare that tho eight
electors they are trying to keep or the
ticket were designated with the under.
standing that they would abide by the
decision of tho republican convention.
and that II the state primary elected
them the result would be contrary OF
the fourteenth amendment, which pre-
vents any state from interfering with
the freedom OF citizens OF the Unit
ed States.
The Roosevelt Contention.
The Roosevelt people contend that the
voters OF Kansas should have the right
cf referendum. The kansas law u tbs
only one which would permit ss:.sh =
referendum.
The supreme court OF KansaA 10.
which the question was frst submitted,
held that regardless OF the truth OF the
charge OF fraud made against tho
Roosevelt electors. II had no power 10
grant the relief the Taft people asked
for.
Application for n writ Of error was
made by the Taft attorneys to Supreme
Court Justice Mahion Pitney. Justice
Pitney believed that the Importance OF
the dispute made 1t desirable that
the court should sit with him. and
therefore Justice willard vandeventer
acted with Justice Pitney at the hear
ing today.
