MAN NABBED SAYS HE
is MEDILL MCCORMICK
Thrown Off Sleeper at SYRIA
cuse During Alteration.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. IA man
who says he is Medill Mccormick
publisher of the Chicago Tribune, was
elected from a sleeping car here yes
terday, was locked in a cell several
hours, questioned in police court and
released after explanations had been
made. He registered at the Yates
Hotel and has been telephoning from
there to Chicago, apparently for
funds.
The porter of the sleeping car told
the police that the man who says he
is Mr.. Mccormick had been talking so
much other passengers could not sleep
and that he refused to be quiet when
requested.
After his release. the man gave out
this statement:
'It is as unnecessary as it is futile
to deny gossipy stories of intoxica-
ton. At Ihpeming we had an exam
pie of that sort of rot.
II spent the evening on the train
with Mr.. Runnells, president of the
Pullman Company and an old friend
of mine, and later Joined some of the
train crew, with whom there resulted
discussion which has been produc-
tive of the nonsensiical yarns about
myself.
'Thehe gentlemen and l did not
agree, and it became not merely a
discussion, but an alteration with re-
suits which l know thew now regret
far more than l. / think it is unnec-
essary for me to say more to the men
who have worked with me in forty
eight States. and who wishe to believe
that it is better to suffer a little in the
cause of common humanity than o en-,
gage in lawsuits.

Stokes PART|SANS
FOR STATE RALLY
New Phase in Faction Fight Is
Worrying Leaders of
the G. o. p.

Republicans throughout the State
are viewing with alarm the turmoil
and the various cross currents in the
party and fear is expressed by many
that unless cards are turned up and
the fight carried on In the open 1t
will do anything but bring the war
ring elements together in time for a
concerted effort at the general cleo
ton.
The chief factors are the Murphy
Kean faction on the one side and the
Stokes faction on the other. At the
present stage of the game it is point
ed out the latter, or rather its head,
former Governor Edward c. Stokes,
has outwitted the other SIDE as there
is no doubt in the minds of those
who claim to know that the State
rally, proposed by County Chairman
Herbert w Taylor, will materialize.
Now Mr.. Taylor is the chairman of
the County Chairmens Association
and the rally is proposed to be held
under the auspices of the latter body.
1t is significant, 1t was stated, that
this body has, as the father, none
other than Mr.. Stokes himself at
whose behest it Is said the body was
called into existence some three
months ago.
1t is further pointed out that az the
last meeting of the State committee,
at which Mr.. Stokes was present the
proposition to hold a State rally was
unanimously voted down as being
inimical to the spirit of the Geran
law If at that meeting the idea of
a convention, for which former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy and others ex-
pressed themselves openly in favor
of, had been carried 1t would have
been under the/ auspices of the State
committee, in which the Murphy
Kean faction would have quite some
weight. As to how far this influence
goes 1t is pointed out that Chairman
Edmund B. Wakelee appointed as
secretary Donald H. Mclean, a Kean
man, to succeed Edward w. Gray, a
Stokes man.
AS a logical sequence to the Guber-
material chess game a bitter contest,
it is said, is looked for when the can
didates for State committeeman come
forward.
This fight might be augmented by
the fact that both Hudson and Essex
counties under the Geran law will
lose one representative each, having
had two heretofore, while the new law
permits but one from each county,
making IL twenty -Oue HleHlDeTS
against formerly twenty-three.
Alfred N. Dalrymple and former
Mayor Henry M. Doremus are the
Essex men. When the former was
approached yesterday he stated that
he had not made up his mind whether
he would run again. Mr. Doremus
could not be reached.
A rumor is current that former Sem
ator John d. Prince. of Passaic
County, is gaining friends in the
ranks of the local county committee.
Supporters of Mr.. Stokes are de-
Tending the proposed State rally on
the grounds that Mr.. Stokes could
not be expected to enter the race I'M
less he had some evidence that he was
really wanted and that rally with
representation from every county
would give fair and unprecedented
idea as to the situation.

NOVEL FEATURE IN
AERO-TRA|N RACE
Aviator Will Show Military
Men How Quickly "BIuebird"
Can Be Taken Apart.

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-One of the
features of Aviator C. Murvin Wood
race. in the Moisant monoplane. Blue
bird, against a Pennsy fast train to-
morrow. will be when he arrives at
Fort Meyer a demonstration of how
quickly he can take the aero to pieces
and pack them for shipment.
Wood will leave Garden City, Long
Island, at 4:30 a. m. on the long
cross-water and country flight TO
Washington.
At the same time a special train
consisting of two coaches and n
powerful engine will start from the
old Pennsylvania railroad station in
Jersey City.
So confident is Wood that he can
beat the special train to Washington
twenty-five miles by starting from
Garden CITY at the same hour that
the train leaves Jersey City. From
Garden City Wood will steer his course
over Coney Island and the lower bay.
Thence flying at an altitude of about
1000 feet he will pass over Staten
Island and head straight for Eliza
beth. N. j., from which place he will
follow the tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad. flying by way of Trenton,
Philadelphia and Baltimore to Wash
ington. If he meets with no mishap
he plans to land at Fort Meyer. Va,
near Washington.
When the Bluebird reaches Eliza
beth the Pennsylvania special may be
more than twenty miles ahead of the
monoplane. but from his 1000 foot
altitude Wood hopes to sight the
train. The roofs of the coaches will
be painted white.
Wood expects no trouble in over
hauling the special and then beating
it into Washington. for even against
light headwinds, the Bluebird, 1t Is
said. is capable of flying at a rate Of
seventy-fve miles an hour, at which
speed he would get to Washington in
a little over three hours. c. de Plog-
gio, general manager of the Moisant
aviators. said yesterday:
1.-THE object of this flight is, in part,
to demonstrate the efficiency of the
Bluebird as dispatch carrier and for
military purposes generally. Arriv-
ing at Fort Meyer. where he expects
to land at about o'clock. Wood will
give a demonstration for the benefit
of officers of the army and navy, and
officials of the war and navy depart
ments.

SIX HUNDREDTH FLIGHT
GIVES AVIATOR FIRST FALL

VICTORIA. B. c., Aug. 1.-THE aero
plane in which John F. Bryant, a
California aviator had made 500
flights, failed him on the 800th, and,
after a few. moments of aerial aero
battles, fell on the roof of building
near the. heart of this city late yes
terday. Firemen who rushed up a
ladder to his rescue found Bryant
dead in the wreckage. His back, neck
and both legs had been broken.
A stout, heavy woman, who insisted
on climbing into the seat last weak,
to have her picture taken, is said by
Bryant friends to have been the in
direct and unwilling cause of the ac-
cident. The fragile seat, unaccus-
toned to such weight, was damaged
and had to be repaired before Bryant
could attempt another fight. 1t is
believed that the dahage was not fully
repaired and that the Machine be-
came unmanageable because of weak
ened wire attachment to the steering
gear.
