SOME PROSPECT OF
SPECIAL SESSION
Visit of the Governor TO Montpelier
Arouses a Belief That the So1ons
VIII Be Called.

MONTPELIER, Aug. 10 State
house circles were primed Thursday
for the announcement that Governor
Fletcher would call special session of
the General Assembly the first week
in September, but the governor who
was in conference during the forenoon
and afternoon with various state and
pubic officers in the executive cham
Der left town without making an an
nouncement beyond stating that the
subject was receiving serious CON
sideratiOn.'
The opinion prevails quite generally
about the state house that the govern
or will call a special session and an
announcement to that effect is expect
ed to be made within the next "a
hours. However, the governor would
make no statement.
1t is reported that in case the law
makers are called back to Montpelier
it will not be for the purpose of pass
ing direct primary law as requested
by the Republican state committee. 1t
is said that the governor is consider
ing several important matters, two or
three Of which are of a constitutional
character.
There is TumoF that one is the
election Of Judges of the supreme court
for the interim between December /
and the biennial session in January
and satisfactory solution of all ques.
tons about the courts and the supreme
and superior judges, the abolition OF
the Office of the attorney general, re.
vision of statutes TO correspond with
constitutional changes, the state in
surance department and bonds loI
| state and county officers whose bonds
! expire December I and who hold oven
until their successors are elected OF
appointed. On account of these anl
some others matters state house pToph
cts have settled down to the opinion
there is to be a special session early
in September, and probably before the
Republican state committee.
The presence iii the city of Chief
| Justice George NJ. Powers also addeG
interest to the governors stay. Sen
ator Hale X. Darling OF Chelsea
| chairman of the revision committee
conferred with the governor during
! the day, as did Justice John II. Wat
| son, chairman of the educational com
/ mission, Mason 5. Stone, state super
| intendent of education, and others in
| Guiding w. +. McFeeters of Enosburg
! executive clerk. In case of an extri
/ session it is expected that Mr.. Me
Fecters will prepare the draft for sub
mission TO Major W. A. Graham, sec
rotary of civil and military affairs
and the governor.

WOMEN PUT ASHORE
Passengers of Stranded Ship
Override Captain.

Atlantic City, Sept. 14.-In spite Of
the desire Of Captain Townsend that
they remain on the stranded steamer
Atlantic City, from New York for this
resort, the thirty-one passengers on
board were taken off to-day, after they
had presented q petition demanding
that they be kept on the ship no
longer. Nineteen women and little
girl went ashore in a non.sinkable
boat of the lifesavers here. The men
were taken through the surf in other
boats.
Among those taken of we're Mr.. and
Mrs. o. Myers, II. Z. Marshall and VI.
\. Goldstein, of Manhattan, and Mr..
and Mrs. A. Huebner and family, Of
West Brighton, S. !.
Tugs were expected this afternoon
to pull the steamer off the shoals, but
at high water help had not appeared,
and Captain Townsend's efforts to get
off under his own steam failed. Old
salts predict that il the Atlantic City
is not pulled into deep water soon she
will go to pieces. A strong east wind
has been blowing all day.

SULZER ROYALTY
GREETED IN KINGS
Ex-Governor Addresses Six
Meetings and Responds TO
Hearty Cheers.

William Sulzer, who has campaigned
thus early in the struggle in every
county in the state except those on
Long Island, spent last night in Kings,
addressing six crowded meetings. To-
day he will go 10 Rochester, and will
return to resume his speechmaking on
Long Island.
Two thousand enthusiasts greeted the
Ex-Governor at the first meetirE Of the
evening, at 18th av. and 4lst ST., Bor-
ough Park. The history of the inn
parchment and the challenge to Daven-
port, his opponent in the Progressive
primaries, formed the basis of his ad-
dress for the evening.
All this went we'll in Brownsville,
where the name of Sulzer is one to
conjure with. He spoke in Independ-
ence Hall, Osborne st. near Pitkin av.
In this hall he is always sure of a
crowd. There were about 1900 there
when he arrived shortly after Q o'clock.
While enthusiasm ran high, observers
thought they detected a slight let-down
from the frenzy that greeted the can
didate when he spoke there a few
weeks ago in the early stages Of the
campaign,

MAINE VOTE CLOSE;
LOOKS DEMOCRATIC
City Districts Turn Tide
from Apparent Repub-

MOOSE STRENGTH A
THIRD OF T. R. TOTAL
Kinds Wins Hot Contest In First
Observation-Disclosures
Reelected.

Portland, Ne, Sept. i4.-Returns
from the cities Of Bangor and Portiand
inst before midnight tonight changed
an indicated Republican plurality TOT
Governor Of Maine to an apparent
Democratic victory, though the result
will not be certain until nifty missing
towns have been heard from. =,
The standing with $50 towns and all
the twenty cities was as follows
Haines (R.), 64,965i Curtis OBJ
1878; Gardiner tP.), 1892.
The corresponding vote for Presi-
dent In 1912 was: Taft (R.), 24,6oO;
Wilson Cd, As,467; Roosevelt CD
S6S27. -
gain Of 1875 per cent and Democratic
cain Of IS per cent If the same per-
eentage Is maintained Curtis's cleo
ton Is indicated by about 500 piu-
with more than half Of the Maine
cities and towns reported the result OF
to-day's election in Maine was IN some
doubt, not only for Governor, but IN
one or two Of the four Congressional
districts.
The early returns indicated the cleo
tion of Mayor Curtis, the Democratic
o4nOlOGLe LOT GONGIuOAs bNN
fiFst hundred towns had been received
the drift shifted from Curtis to Gov
amor Haines, the Republican candl-
date, and at II o'clock, with returns re
eeived from $50 towns out Of over oUO,
the indications were that HHines would
have a plurality of something like 4,OOo
votes.
Up to this ne Governor HaineS
had shown q gain OF 1S4 per cent over
the vote for Taft two years ago
Curtis had shown q gain over the
Wilson vote of 10 per cent, and the
Progressive loss from the Roosevelt
vote was 6S per cent. II this proper

was figured that the total Progressive
vote for the state would be trlne
over $4,000.

lican. was reelected to-day, according
10 complete newspaper returns, by q
plurality of 500. The vote was lIOlI
