II hope that in the next four years ]

Mr.. Adamson in my administration" he
said
There was time said Mr. Mitchell.
that we were looking for a manager.
Realizing that there is always prepon-
derance of Republican votes in any fusion
campaign, we sought the 'Nobest Roman
of Them All. We sent cablegram to
Mr.. Hedges. When he returned we were
glad to see how we'll he looked. We were
surprised to hear from his own lips that
he was so i'll he could not manage the
campaign. We are glad to see tonight
how we'll he has recovered. We under
stand he does not expect a recurrence Of
his attack until next fall.
Next we turned to a distinguished
Democrat, Mr.. AdamsonI who we felt
could bring all the fusion elements to-

He spoke Of a pestilential breeze that
had come from Albany. It was not the

Divided as 10 Time.

1914 among the members Of the Re
publican National Committee and those
holding proxies who came here TO at
tend the meeting tomorrow seemed 10
be about equally divided to-day. A
counter proposition 10 postpone the
proposed special convention until 1919
met with considerable favor.
Those arguing for a postponement Of
the convention said that a gathering in
1914 would be premature and would
only serve TO emphasize the bitterness
resulting from the Chicago convention.
They maintained that there was no ne
cessity for a convention before 1910.
as the national committee had all the
power necessary to change party rules,
although the law committee, after
much dcliberation had held that only
a national convention could change the
rule relative TO the apportionment OF
delegates to regular national con-
ventiOn.
The argument was also advanced by
the conservatives that the delegates to
a convention in 1914 would not be
strictly representative Of the party, as
II would be possible for either side TO
juggle the election OF delegates. which
would be without the protection OF
law, and that the progressives would
be more likely TO get out and hustle up
Roosevelt delegations from many OF
the states.
Boomers for a convention represent
states In which are cities making bids
for the meeting. Denver is said 10 he
ready with $4,000 for the convention
and ST. Louis is reported to be willing
to put up $4,000. indianapolis and
Cincinnati are also seeking the con-
vention. Representatives OF the four
cities will submit definite propositions
to the committee Tomorrow, fit is de-
cided that q special convention shall
be held.
Governor Herbert S. Hadley, OF Mis-
souri,, Senator Borah, of Idaho; Senator
Jones, of Washington. and ex-Repre-
sentative James T.. Watson. Of Indiana
have proxies and expect 10 take an ac-
tive part in the committee meetings
Governor Hadley holds the proxy Of
V. Loisel, OF Louisiana. while Mr.. Wat
son has the proxy of l.. =. Moseley, Of
Mississippi. Senator Jones has the
proxy OF S. 4. Perkins, OF Washing
ton, and Senator Borah that Of j. w.
Hart, of Idaho.
Other proxies reported to Chairman
Hilles are Senator Bradley, of Ken
lucky. that Of J. w. Mccullough, Of

tation will he a misnomer and that

1T may not he irrelevant TO remark

bly, is still left to us as private citi-
zens until the Constitution is repealed.
Charles b. Warren, OF Michigan,
chairman of the law committee, con-
ferred at the Capitol to-day with Sen
ators Cummins, Nelson. Root and
others. and announced that Senator
Cummins had no intention of demand
ing that national convention should
adopt a general party platform.
Senator Cummins does not expect
10 appear before the national commit
tee or to submit further views To il,
said Mr. Warren. He does not urge
that the convention go further than
the proposed change in delegate repre-
sentation and party rules.
Views Of Committeeman.
Senator Borah's demand that the ma
tional committee go on record as 10 its
own view Of all the proposed changes
in party methods drew this statement
from Mr.. Warren:
The action OF the committee, If it
follows the plan I hope il will, will be
a complete answer 10 :hat. will offer
a resolution providing that in the Sc
lection of delegates To the proposed
convention state primary laws be rec
ognized This. coupled with the fact
that the convention is called for pur-
poses Of rcapportionment, will show
plainly the attitude of the national
committee as to these matters
Recognition Of state primary laws
and reduction Of the representation
from Southern states i'm the national
conventions do not satisfy demands of
the more radical forces. who intend
to demand that the convention shall
take away from the national commit
tee its power 10 make mp the TEN
porary roll Of tho convention and
shall give 10 the Republican organi-
cation in each state the right TO set
tie its own delegate contests
That change. and the provision that
each Presidential campaign should hc
run by the newly elected national COM
mittee instead Of by the "holdovcr"
committee would satisfy practically all
of the demands OF the so-callcd Pro-
gressive- Republican forces.
Members Of the national committee
still expect on effort 10 force the pro-
posed special convention 10 take mp
the question OF a new party platform.

FORT SHAFTER, Nov. 1.-THE
Saturday and Sunday games in the
company leagues produced no high
class bail. The teams Of companies
A, B and c won their games against
h, and X by Gig one-sided scores.
Owing to a misunderstanding as to
the schedule the second game for Sun
day between D and L companies did
not occur. The football game that
wound up the Sunday athletic affairs
was equally one-sfded, the Engineer
team winning from a combined team
Of 50 to o. The infantrymen were
badly outclassed .as the score shows,
both in knowledge of the game and
condition. In addition. the first FIVE
minutes of play saw the quarter and
one of the backs for the infantry car
ried off the field with injuries, and
that crippled their team hopelessly.
A competent set Of officials, headed
by Mr.. Frissell as referee, carried the
game along rapidly and with satisfac-
ton.

RULeAR SOLDIERS LIKE SUGAR.

VIENNA, Austria-In paper read
at the recent international medical
congress in London Surgeon-Major
Birrell, head Of the British Red Cross
mission to Bulgaria, dwelt upon the
extraordinary craving CT the Bulga-
rian soldiers for sugar. He said that
when he and his colleagues were go
ing through the hospital wards in LO-
sengrad the patients all cried out
"ZuckeT," sugar. Major Birrell said
he was unable TO suggest an eXplara
ton for this, but deemed it worthy
of special mention.
One CT the Bulgarian officers. who
was among the wounded in the hospi,
tai. has given the correspondents OF
the Daily News an amusing cApl,Lna-
ton OF the surgeons discovery. He
says it was simply that the Bulgarian
