H|NMAN LOSES
7. RS SUPPORT
Colonel Announces, After Con-
ference, That He Will Back
Straight Progressive Ticket.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. e.
Theodore Roosevelt last night with
drew his recent endorsement of for
mer State Senator Harvey d. Hin
man, Republican, for the nomina
ton of Governor on the Progressive
ticket, and pledged himself in most
vigorous terms to the support of a
straight Progressive party fight in
New York State.
Colonel Roosevelt announced his de-
cision after a brief and animated con-
ference at Sycamore Hill with the
committee of twenty-one, appointed
by the State committee of the Pro-
gressive party to map out Its cam
paign. The committee came here
after a meeting in New York. at
which it voted to make lone tight.
Colonel Roosevelt will under no cir
cumstance be the Progressive candi-
date for Governor, he declared, in a
message couched in unmistakable
language sent to the committee before
it left New York. As a result no
strong effort was made to get the
Colonel to change his mind. Names
mentioned for the nomination are
William H HotchlSiss, former State
Frederick M. Davenport, who ran for
acknowledgement in 1912. Both OF
these men were at yesterdays con-
ference.
Apparently Colonel Rooseve1t's at
tempt to bring about so-ealled
fusion in New York was frustrated by
the declaration of Mr.. Human at the
unofficial convention of the Republi-
cans at Saratoga. Colonel Roosevelt
made it evident that he felt that the
man whose cause he championed a
few weeks ago had put himself out of
the running as a Progressive candi-
date.
Colonel Roosevelt promised the Pro-
gressive leaders that he would make
a campaign from one end OF New
York State to the other for the nom.
inee of the Progressive party, and do
everything in his power to bring about
his election.
The session in New York of the
committee of twenty-one at which the
decision was reached lasted two and
a half hours. At its conclusion Will
liam H. Childs, of Brooklyn, chair
man of the committee, called the
newspapermen together and made the
following announcements:
1.-THE committee decided, practically
unanimously, to recommend to the
State committee a list of candidates
headed by a straight Progressive for
Governor and substantially a Pro-
gressive ticket all the way down."
Shortly afterward the committee
left for Oyster Bay.

IN 315-M|LE RACE
Largest Crowd Ever Present to
Watch Long Grind at
EIgin.

RACE COURSE, ELGIN, ILL.,, Aug.
z2.-Dearborn, driving a Stutz, shot
over the starting line promptly at II
a. m. today, and the 315-mile race for
the Elgin trophy was on. Probably
the largest crowd that ever saw the
motor classic was packed around the
course. Other entries were sent out
at f1fteen-second intervals.
Ralph Milford, who finished third
yesterday, was compelled to with
draw his entry. The frame of his
machine was broken as he neared the
finish of the race yesterday and re-
pairs could not be made in time for
the start.
Speculation among the thousands
of automobile enthusiasts at the
course was rife as to the winner.
Ralph de Palma, winner of yester-
days race, was q favorite with
many, while Spencer Wishart also
was picked as probable winner.
He was forced out of yesterdays
race, after having led for 200 miles,
when his gasoline tank caught fire.
Barney Oldfield, fourth In yester-
days grind, also was among the ia
vorites, as was Gil Anderson, who
finished second.

 FAIR THIS YEAR THAN EVER

Little Rock, Nov. 19.-Persons re- turning to Little Rock from Hot Springs state that the best fair of them all is being held this year, but because of the cotton situation or the cool weather, the attendance is far below normal.
 "There are more exhibits, and bet ter ones, more attractions, and by far better races than have ever seen at a State fair" reports V. A. Beeson, president of the Arkansas Press Asso- citation, and it is shame that the people of Arkansas are not better pat ronizing it. The citizens of Hot Springs have gone valiantly to the front each year to give fair which will surpass the preceding one, and they have always succeeded, but this is the big year of them all. The citizens have annually lost money, but they have borne their losses with out murmur, and such gamencss is entitled to better recognition"
