Demonstration for District At
tOrney Most Impressive Feat
ure of G.. o. p. Convention.
FRIENDLY TO PR0GREsS|VEs
Recommend a Special National
Convention to Change Meth
cd of Nominating Can
didates for President.

New York. Sept 23-Thc republican
State convention tonight recommended
= special national convention to change
the method of nominating candidates for
president. The plan proposed would re-
duce the number of national delegates
allowed the democratic States of the
South and attain the end sought by the
followers of Theodore Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention
The convention was called To- name
candidates for chief judge and associate
Judge of the State court of appeals and
lit performed this duty by nominating, re-
lspcctivcly. William +. Werner of Rochcs-
ter, now an associate Judge by election,
and Frank II. Hiscock of Syracuse, a
supreme court justice who Is serving on
the court Of appeals bench by Euberna-
torial designation The only other can
didates offered for the nomination were
former state Senator Edgar r. Bracket
Of Saratoga for chief Judge and Supreme
Court Justice Frederick f.. Crane of
Brooklyn for associate. The vote was:
Werner AZ. Bracket Isl, not voting u;
IIiscock Az Crane 157. not voting nine.
The interest of the delegates was
reused chiefly by questions of party
policy toward national issues and tow
ard the Progressive party. The plat
form and the speeches all expressed
toward the prOEressives an attitude of
cancellation. The platform made no
reference to Colonel Roosevelt although
it denounced the doctrine of the re-
call of judges and judicial decisions.
The coming municipal election in
New York received frequent reference.
Platform and speakers supported John
Purroy Mitchell, fusion candidate for
mayor. \ significant incident was the
enthusiasm reused by the appearance Of
District Attorney Charles s. Whitman
Of New York. The platform opposed
the democratic currency bill and
prophesied that the tariff bill would
not bring the relief promised by it's
introducerS.
The convention adopted the platform
just as the rsolution committee pre-
pared It,
The convention adjourned at II :35
and the State committee met imme-
diately and ratified the nominations
mad by the delegates. The law re-
quires such action to make the nomi-
nations valid

predominated during the Whitman dem
onstration. which was the most impress
sive of the convention. Hats were tossed
in the air and the blare of the band could
hardly be heard above the shouts OF those
who We're making 1t clearly apparent
who their choice was for the guber-
Material nomination next year
The district attorneys speech was
mainly devoted to the Suzcr case. He
did not attack Tammany Hall content
ing himself with declaring that right and
Justice and fair play must he recognized
and practced The people believed. he
said, that the Governor will be treated
fairly. that the truth will come out.
1T isn't a matter of great concern who
brings the charges, but it IS a matter of
great concern whether these charges be
true" he decla red.

angles in the celebrated case developed
one that appeared to take the oppos-

with conspiracy to escape from the in

NJ. Chase of New Hampshire and former
Governor William Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, pleading for Thaw. had EN-
phasized the common belief that no
bill had been found against their client
and that accordingly there was no evil
dence before the Governor that New
York intended to place him on trial.
Jerome went further and gave his word
that Thaw would he placed on trial if

These assertions were coupled with the
explanation that the returning of the in

that evidence might he presented to the

CHINESE SAILORS MUTINY
ON new ORLEANS VESSEL

New Orleans, La, July 22-Mutiny
of 26 Chinese on the steamship Comus,
arriving today from New York, result
ed in panic among the passengers,
the probable fatal shooting of one OF
the mutineers, the wounding of three
others and slight injuries to First Of
ficer M. L. Proctor, of the Comus. The
general fight occurred on the forward
deck of the steamer today.
Proctor probably owes his life to the
bravery of Mrs. Florence Shaw, a
stewardess, who saved him from being
thrown overheard by the Infatuated
Chinese.
The officer ordered all the Chinese
to the hold when the vessel was about
40 miles down the river, The OrientaIs
protested it was too hot Proctor in
sisted and six of the Chinese had
rushed him to the rail when Mrs. Shaw
appeared She battled her way among
the Chinese and prevented them from
throwing Proctor over the rail. Proc
tor then drew his weapon, fired and the
fight began.
Other members of the crew and sew
eral volunteer passengers rushed to
the melee amid screams of women pas
sengers, terrified at the pistol shooting
and free use of clubs. Finally thu
Crientals were sent to the hold. The
most seriously injured man is shot
through the lungs and it is said he
will die.
Fearing some might try to escape as
the Compus was coming up the river,
the Chinese were ordered to the hold.
When the boat locked, the Orientals
were ordered to come on deck one at

to hurry him to Washington was seen
in a request by Secretary Bryan TO
Surgeon General Blue of the public
health service to expedite the am

Washington, D. c.. July 22,-Re-
ports of contention surrounding the
Huerta government in Mexico have
put administration official in an atti-
tude of keenest apprehension toward
the situation there. Advices which
officials believe to be perfectly trust
worthy, seem to indicate that the strife
between the Huerta regime and the
revolutionary elements is nearing a
point where some definite conclusion
is to be reached.
Information of this situation was
permitted to become known was cou-
pied with the authoritative statement
that the United States was making no
additional naval or military prepare
tons.
Reports of impending collapse OF
the Huerta regime are being talked
freely in official circles though no Off
cial of the administration will per-
NIT his name to be Coupled with them.
All information made public was with
the stipulation that it should not be
represented as rejecting the views OIL
the administration.
Meanwhile, President Wilson IS
awaiting the coming of Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson, hurrying north
from Mexico City to make his first
hand reports of conditions. His re-
ports will be compared with those

President Issues Statement.
So delicate is the Mexican situation
considered in official circles that the
white house has issued the following
statement to clear up the misrepre-
sensations:
"On his attention being called to the
following statements appearing in GER
tain afternoon newspapers,
1 THAT the president had stated he
would not recognize the Huerta adj
ministration, and that it would not
last year.;
2 THAT the president had stated
that this country would establish a
protectorate over all Central Amerl-
can countries to guard the Panama
canal;
Secretary Tumulty stated that there
was absolutely no foundation in truth
for either of the statements and en-
phatically denied that the president
had expressed any opinion today or at
any other time regarding the Huerta
administration or it's stability, or stat
ed any intention as to it's recognition.
