Richmond, Sept. l2--After carefully
canvaSsing the returns from the pri-
mary of August 9TH, and officially de-
claring the nominees of the party choS
en- at that time. the State central
Democratic committee last night de-
cidei to importune the next general
assembly to remedy the effects n
the primary law, and then settled
itsci! to listen for over two hours to
argument on the latest phase OF the
Norfolk county factionai fight Of
quarter-century standing, which was
finally tabled on the ground that the
committee had no jurisdiction.
The sum and substance Of the pro-
te&. from Norfolk county, which was
presented by Judge d. Tucker Brooke
for the protestants, is that the Demo-
cratic executive committee Of the
county had fixed the basis of represcn
taticn on the county committee on the
1909 instead of that of the presidential
vote of the gubernatorial primary Of
election of 1912. While the county
committee is clothed with discretion
airy powers, the proteStants, who are
known as the "Straightouts." argued
that the State committee had right
to curb these powers when it WAS
shown that the committee was "play
ing politics" Captain K. c. Marshall.
who represented the Norfolk county
committee denied all the claims Of
the proteStantS.

X. Thaw, surrounded by special dep
uty sheriffs, some of them requested
!lby him to guard against kidnapping
by Jerome" and others ordered by
Sheriff Drew to prevent Thaw's es-
acape or his rescue by sympathetic lum-
berjacks from Coaticooke. was arraign
ed at ] O'Clock today before Justice OF
the Peace Carr, charged with being a
fugitive from justice.
After the hearing Sheriff Drew
planned to remove Thaw to the Coos
county jail at Lancaster, thirty miles
away, fearing longer to allow him the
liber1y of the Monadno:k Hotel here.
The town is filled with strangers,
many OF them ardent Thawtes, and
Sheriff Drew said that he found out
there were Thaw sympathlzers from
Coaticooke, 100 or more iumberjacks
rom the neighborhood of Norton's
Mills, ans New York sangsters. Chief
of Police Kelley ordered out OF town
two high powered automobiles that
late yesterday stood near the building
where Thaw's lawyers have their Off
ces. The chauffeurs Indignantly de-
MED that they were in Thaw's en-
rlov and said that mere curiosity
brought them here.
Found near Motor Car.
Sheriff Drew said that at one time
Thaw was missing from the law office
and was found in another building,
opening on an alley, at the entrance
to which were the big touring cars.
Thaw declared he had no idea of
running away, but two deputies have
since accompanied him constantly.
Thawls tlawyers will wait until after
the justice court hearing before urg-
irg their habeas corpus application
! before Judge Chamberlain in the su-
perior court. The New York eX-
tradition papers, signed by Acting
! Governor Glynn were supposed to be
; on their way to Concord today, and
the next act of the Thaw melodrama
will be staged in the View Hampshire
capital.
F.! Resuming mis- publicity campaign,
! Thaw issued long signed statement
T in which he demanded to know why
the Statd of New York should "squan-
[ der many more thousands to get me
I back to Matteawan than are avail
able to me-"
He charged that the New York re-
representatives., "are spending money
like watef."
Thaw ALSO raised the contention
that the New York law provided for
the depo ttaton instanter Of insane
persons who are non-residents Of the
State. unless they are charged with
crime. being acquitted of the MUIR
der of Sta anford White. Thaw said he
was not tonfnei in Matteawan for
crime. He set up the claim that he
is a resident Of Pittsburgh and that
the United States courts in the mat
ter of his guardianship recognized
him as resident of Pennsylvania. II
is therefore, he argued, in his state
ment, the duty of New York to deport
him to Pennsylvania as quickly as
possible, i he be insane. If sane
he should rot be confined at all.
