HOBSON ATTACKS
GOVERNOR 0 NEAL
Alabama Executive Scored for
Appointment of Clayton as
Senator.

Through the Alabama newspapers,
Congressman Richmond P. Hobson is
out in a scathing attack on the action
of Governor O'Neal in appointing Con-
gresham Henry D. Clayton TO the Sem
ate.
Captain Hobson denounces the ap-
pointment as one which was known to
be illegal and made solely for the pur-
pose of helping Clayton in the effort 10
defeat him (Hobson) for the nominal
ton for the Senate in the primaries
The appointment OF Clayton mas
greatly intensified the Alabama strug-
gle The woman suffrage issue enters
into it and adds TO its nationwide in
terest
Judge Clayton's case is expected to
come up in the Senate either tomorrow
or Tuesday. Senator Bankhead will
present the credentials, and they will ba
referred TO the Privileges and Elections
Committee. Judge Clayton will not be
allowed to take the oath. Nor is tnere
any prospect that he will be allowed to
at any time.
Former Senator Bailey has conferred
with Democratic leaders, including Sen
stor Oyerman, to convince them that
CLAYTON was la wfully appointed. He has
not made headway Neither has Sen
ator Rankhead, who has tried TO con-
vince some Of his colleagues that the
annointment is a valid one.
CLAYTON has made public announce
mont that he will be a candidate for
Senator at the direct election which will
later be held TO fill the vacancy left by
the death Of Senator Johnston.

GAYNOR WILL RUN
AS AN INDEPENDENT
Tammany Decides 1t Will Not
Support New York Mayor
for denomination.

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Tammany has
definitely decided not TO renominate
Mayor Gaynor. nor to indorse his can
didacy if he is nominated by any in
dependent organization of citizens. This
conclusion was reached at a meeting of
the eXecutice committee, when Tam
many leaders called on Mr.. Murphy at
his home at Good Ground and made a
tentative slate.
Mayor GaynOr, il was learned today.
has been informed of the attitude of
Tammany toward him, and has decided
to run as an Independent. even If he has
to annex the fusion city ticket to his
candidacy.
Despite the handicaps under which
Tammany labors this year, it is known
that Mr.. Murphy and those close to him
have by no means given up the battle.
They believe that John Purroy Mitchell
is a weak candidate. and that certain
political Affiliations he acquired during
the subway contract controversy will in
jure him with the voters. a good man
on the Tammany ticket, they hold, will
have a fair chance to beat him.
William B. Ellison, who was corpora
tion counsel under Mayor Mcclellan. and
William +. MCCombs, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, are
others said to be on the Tammany slate
for use if they are needed.
Justice Downing, who now seems likely
to be the candidate. Is forty-seven years
old. He was for many years member
of the Tammany executive committee,
and one time secretary of that body.
He served in the State senate from 1901
to 1904. He was elected to the bench in
1905, and his term expires in 1918. Tam
many will make its designations for the
city ticket next Saturday. Designations
for the borough. county. and Judiciary
tickets will be made next week.

Cool Thief Steals 400
Stoves From Warehouse

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 17.-Facing the
inquiring gaze of hundreds daily. an
enterprising burglar looted loft in a
Liberty avenue building and got away
with 400 stoves, and eluded the police
and detective force.
NJ Braun, owner of the stoves, pur-
chased about 1000 of the heaters and
stored them in the loft. He had COM
missioned a dealer to sell them for him
and did not visit the loft often. The
burglar evidently was aware of this and
knew that the entrance to the building
was open all night.
At various times within the last ten
days he would drive up to the building.
select what stoves he wanted. and drive
away. The district is thiclly populated,
and the remainder Of the building is
occupied.
The nerve of the man astonishes the
police and Braun, who did not discover
his loss until he went to the loft yes
terday.

small group of God-defying men, law
debauching blacklegs.

The Washington times., 1913-08-17

ALBANY, Aug. 17.-Lynn j. Arnold,
president and editor of the Knicker-
booker Press. the local Sulzer organ,
has announced that Thomas W. Law
son, the Boston fnancier, had agreed
to go in with a group of wealthy men
yet to be selected. to form a Sulzer de-
fense committee Of national scope.
Mr.. Arnold has the backing of Stephen
c. and Edward Clark, owners Of the
knickcrbocker Press and representa-
tives of the wealthy thread people, and
the two Clarks will also be counted in
the nucleus Of the proposed committee.
Lawson sent a long telegram to
Arnold In which he declared that with
personally, but simply an opportunity to
aid in disclosing the inner secrets OF
the system"
The Knickerbocker Press has under
way a series of articles. which, though
not written by Governor Sulzer. are
authorized by him as the story of his
side of the war with Murphy. The first
article will appear tomorrow morning.
Text of Lawson's Message.
Lawson's telegram, sent from Prime
vile, Ore, is given herewith:
Editor the Knickerbocker Press, AL

These are the facts about my offer
to finance William Sulzer, governor OF
the State Of New York:
81 have been away and only know
what the newspapers say: That New
York city and New York State have
been and are in control of the system.
I believe the Sulzer impeachment can
be made the long awaited opportunity
to let daylight into the black cave where
works the systems machinery. Cover
nor Sulzer has nothing more to lose,
whether innocent or guilty.
