HOPE FOR PEACE RENEWED
Administration at Washington Sees
Solution Of Present Troubles in
Mexico

Washington, Sept 29.-Formal an
nouncement from Gen. Villa that he
will not be candidate for president
or president of Mexico was re-
ceived at the state department yester
day through Consular Agent Carroth-
ers at Chihuahua City. This dispatch
the first to reach Washington from
the interior of Mexico since Villas re.
volt against Gen. Carranza's authority
as first chief of the constitutionalists
geratly strengthened the hopes of Off
Gals in Washington for a peaceful
adjustment of the difficulties between
two leaders. Special significance was
attached to Villas assurance, because
it followed so closely the declaration
of Gen. Carfanza that he would not
become candidate if Villa would
give a similar promise and all the 9th
err military leaders were eliminated
as presidential possibilities.
The state department last night was
without information from Mexico
City. but it was generally believed in
official circles that if Gen. Carranza
resigns Thursday, as has been declared
he will, the convention called by him
for that date will name as his success
sor Fernando lglesias Calderon,
whose selection has been demanded
by Villa.
Gen. Funston reported to Washing
ton late yesterday that Zapata had
protested TO him against the evacua-
ton of Vera Cruz and delivery OF the
city to the Carranza forces.
Citizens of Vera Cruz we're praised
by the state department yesterday in
an official statement commencing
their exemplary conduct" during the
American occupation. Official re-
ports received by the department of
state indicate that this government
owes much to the people of Vera
Cruz because of their exemplary con
duct during the period that American
forces have occupied that port" it
said. 1T would be difficult to cite an
instance wherein the people of a city
occupied by foreign army have ac-
ceptsd a situation of this kind with
such evidence of patience and good
will. Although the city was occupied
by foreign army differing in race
and language from its inhabitants,
ana was governed under the strictest
form of martial law Ia condition that
would ordinarily be expected to re-
suit in friction) none of the incidents
that would naturally be expected in
these circumstances has occurred
mo attempt at assassination has
been made and not single crime of
violence of any Importance has been
committed against any member of the
forces occupying Vera Cruz. The or
ders given by the military authorities
were all carried out without question
and the attitude of the people has
been found to be generally helpful
The Offices and enlisted men could go
anywhere without the slightest fear
and without the necessity OF being
armed"

GLYNN, WHITMAN
AND DAVENPORT
W|N|N new YORK
Two Leaders Far Ahead OF Rlv-
ais in First State Primary
PROGRESSIVE RACE CLOSE
Davenport Had Apparently Beaten
Former Governor Sulzer by
Small Margin

New York, Sept 29.--Yesterday
Primary election, the first in which
the people OF New York ever nominal
ed their candidates directly, resulted
in the nomination for Governor of
Martin II. Glynn by the Democrats,
Charles S. Whitman by the Republi-
cans, and Frederick NJ Davenport by
the Progressives.
James W. Gerard was Nominated
for United States Senator by the Dem
ocrats and cambridge Colby by the
Progresslyes. The Republican NOM
ination is in doubt, with William NJ.
Calder in the lead.
Whitman carried Greater New York
by plurality estimated at 10000 His
next competitor in the city was
Hedges, but he beat Hedges by three
to one, Human by eight TO one. Hin.
mans vote in the city was much
smaller than had been anticipated.
But Whitman had been expected ic
carry New York, though the crushing
nature of Humans defeat theer was
surprise The Hinman men had
been counting on the upstate vote to
overcome Whitman's majority in the
city, but the upstate, too. went for
Whitman by majority of $500, max
ing his total majority 1860.
New York City contributed ma
jority Of 7l,200 TO Gov. Glynn, and the
rest of the State backed her up by a
majority OF ls,03s, making his. total
majority g0.53S. liennessy was snow
ed under in the city and badly defeat
ed in the State.
William Sulzer did not succeed in
capturing the Progressive Party. In
the city. indeed, he gave Davenport
close run. and was defeated by only
4S6 votes. but the country districts
came to the rescue and gave the can
didate OF the Utica conference ma
jority OF 2,262. making total ma jor-
ity of 2,74S for Davenport
The big Whitman victory in the
city was apparently not Barnes vic.
tory. for his candidate for the United
States Senate. Wadsworth, was snow.
ed under by Congressman Calder. the
anti-Barnes candidate Calder's ma.
iority was greater than Whitman's,
being now estimated at 32,046.
Even more surprising was the fact
that in the city Wadsworth was not
merely defeated, but actually ran not
very much better than DR.. David J.
Hill, whose candidacy was chiefly a
compliment rendered him by his
home county of Monroe. and who
does not figure seriously in the re-
turns.
Ambassador Gerard was nominated
for the Senate by the Democrats. beat
ing Franklin ID. Roosevelt Roose-
welt did better than Hennessey, for
Gefards majority in the city was g..
300, nearly 5000 less than Glynn's
His majority in the upstate cannot
yet be given.

MoLoNEY-sAeE RECITAL
Rutland Artists at Academy Hall
Wednesday Night

Under the auspices of st. Francis
de- Sales church there will be recit-
al by Rutland artists Wednesday eve
ming Sept. 80 at Academy hall. The
Rutland Herald gives the following
account of the same recital as pre-
scented there few days ago:
The unique nature of last nights
entertainment given by Misses Char
lotte Moloney, violinist. and Grace
Sage, reader. in the Shrine theater,
made it as happy selection for the
opening OF the regenerated amuse-
ment house as could possibly have
been made.
Miss Moloney presented diversi-
fed and well planned program. every
note Of which was superbly played.
II embraced violin literature from
the classic school of Bach to the last
word said by the modern Hubay.
The diversity of the selections show
ed the performer to be a violinist OF
broad training. She displayed the
musical intelligence necessary for the
scholarly Interpretation of the diff
cult Bach Aria on G string; the per
feet mastery of wrist and bow for
the playing OF the Musin Nalse; the
dash abanson and temperament essen
tial to viyify the Hubay gypsy music;
the intimate feeling required to deliv-
er the message of the Wieniawski
Andate movement
Kreislers compositions make a d.
rect apepal just now, should the re-
port of his untlmely death be true.
Too much praise cannot be given
to Catherine Mitchell. accompanist.
All through the program she seemed
to be of one mind with the soloist, ex-
hibting in all selections beauty OF
tone. and grace OF movement
Miss Grace Sage in her interpreta-
ton OF Peg o My Heart" the three
act comedy of j. Hartley Manners,
which is one OF the most popular of
contemporary plays on eithe- the Brit
ish or American stages. provised the
other half Of very delightful even
ings entertainment She imperson-
ates. perhaps. rather than interprets,
and her acting OF the warm-hearted
and irrepressible Peg. the stately
Mrs. Chichester the irresponsible and
conseryatory-bred Ethel. and the
bored, funny Alaric were all very
well done. In the presence of her
audience Miss Sage seemed to lay
aside he own personality. vivifying

London Sept 2S, 946 p. m.-For
the first time since the beginning of
the war. wireless news, circulated by
the French Government through the
Eiffel Tower, was received in London
tonight The message dated today,
read:
Feeling that their position was be.
coming more and more critical under
the pressure OF the Allies arms, the
Germans have tried TO stop us by re-
peated counter-attacks. Since Sept.
26 they have delivered frequent and
very violent attacks by day and night
at several positions on Gus front. Eve
rywhere they have been repulsed,
sustaining considerable losses and
abandoning as they lay thousands Of
dead and wounded.
THE Eighth Army Corps and tire
Guagds were severely put to the test,
and a large number of prisoners fell
into our hands. II is TO be remarked
that many of the latter gave them
selves up voluntarily. although they
could have escaped.
ut seems that the German soldiers
are beginning TO have no further
doubt as to the treatment which
awaits them in captivity. At the be-
ginning, all those we captured had a
terrified and supplicating attitude,
arising out of statements made by
French shot their prisoners.
1T is rather by an excess of kind
ness that we transgress in regard to
them, and the too kindly treatment
which Is melted out TO prisoners in
certain districts of France has even
evoked complaints. which occasional
ly have been justified on the part of
all those who know how our men are
treated in Germany
