OF fUSIONISTS
COLLECTOR OF PORT WINS IN
6ALLoTiNG OVER WHITMAN
AND MeANENY.

New York, Aug. 2.-Republicans,
Progressiyes and Independents, as
represented by fusion committee of
107 members, agreed early Friday
upon the nomination of John Perry
Mitchell, collector ~ customs of the
port Of New York, as a candidate for
mayor. The regular democratic can

but Mayor Gaynor is understood to
be a candidate for nomination for
another term.
The agreement of the fusionists on
Mitchell was not reached until after
an all night struggle during which
the committee took many ballots and
on which Mitchell led by slight mar,
gins over District Attorney Whitman
of New York county and Borough John
McAneny OF Manhattan. These we're

and the contest was stubborn. Mitch

tieni of Mitchell was afterward made
unanimous. The ticket named with
Mitchell carried the denomination OF
Whitman, as district attorney and Nc
1Arely as president of the borough OF
Manhattan and A. Pendergast as pres
ident of the board of aldermen.
Mitchell, elected comptroller of the
city on the democratic ticket at the
last election, was recently appointed
by President Wilson as collector o.
customs at this port. The preference
which the President then showed hin
was used by his admirers as evidence
that the President would favor him IL
an anti-Tammany fight.
The platfor adopted by the fusion
committee has municipal economy al

which includes public health, reduction

Division of the United States Army,
was beehive of activity today. Every
one there, from Major Gen. Thomas

the final preparations for participation
in the joint naval and army defense
exercises to be held in the coast de-
lenses of Long Island Sound next week,
beginning at midnight tomorrow
night.
The Joint exercises are to be the
most extensive held in this section
since 1905. Troops have been mobiliz-
ed from the artillery districts of East
ern and Southern New York, Naragan-
sett and Boston. The navy will be
represented in the maneuvers by prac-
tically the entire Atlantic fleet, as
we'll as several fiotillas of destroyers.
The war game will not be played
with an idea of seeing whether the
coast defense or the navy will come out
victorious The rival forces will be
used merely to test certain problems
of defense. With this end in view
there will be searchlight maneuvers
with other exercises to demonstrate
the efficiency of fire control and fire
action. 1t is expected that the exer.
ciss will be especially valuable in show.

EDLIp WILL NOT GO ON.

Meridian, Miss, Aug. 2.-Following a
conference held Friday morning with
some Of the preachers of the city
Mayor Parker has announced that the
lid will not be put on Sunday, nor on
any Sunday in the future. Conditions
will remain just as they are.
This has caused Meridian to draw a
sigh of relief, as there was bitter op-
position to enforcement of the law, es-
pecially as literally and strictly con-
strued by the city attorney, who held
that not even newspapers could be
sold or delivered Sundays. He also
held that the band concerts at the
parks on Sunday afternoons would
have to stop. as the musicians were
working for pay.
Other lawyers, however, did not
think the strict Interpretation that had
been made would be upheld by the
courts. The ministers claim that their
main purpose in calling for law en-
forcement was that the law against
women Migrants might be enforced.
This had already bsen undertaken by
the county,
