nersons in Market Square, cars were
overturned and burned in the square;

was left without lights for some
hours. The disorder was the most Sc
rious that has occurred in this city IN
forty years. n.
In anticipation Of further trouble

At $3.50 o'clock Mayor Frink read

WILSON WILLING TO
MEET NY. MEMBERS
Denies Delegation Has Been
Pictured as Representatives
of Crooks.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, July %. -- President
Wilson indicated to callers to-day
that he is willing to confer with mem
bers of the New York City delegation
in the House on any subject covered
by the call of Mr.. Fitzgerald, issued
last night. for gathering Of New
Workers "tO discuss the situation IN
that state"
The statement OF Mr.. Fitzgerald that
members OF the delegation have been
pictured as the representatives OF
crooks and grafters and buccaneers
had an echo at the White House and
the Capitol to-day. The President
said that members of the New York
delegation had not been so described
TO him. and he would not have taken
the Characterization seriously had It
been made Several of the New York
members made up their minds to-day
TO object to this language in the Fltz-
gerald statement when the conference
is held in Mr.. Fitzgerald's office next
Monday.
The twenty New York City Demo
Gratis also arc not unanimous in their
views as to the advisability Of the
conference. although it is probable
that they will all attend. Representa-
tive Cantor. for instance. is advising
his colleagues that they ought TO make
it plain that the New York members
are with the administration and that
their gathering must not be heralded
as an Observation-Disclosures meeting.
Admitting that the Tammanyites
have been overlooked in the patron
age distribution, the row has not
reached the stage where the average
member Of the delegation IS willing
TO 90 into a conference which Will re
feet in any way on the administration,
and the affair may be patched up with
out the conference in Mr.. Fitzgerald's
Office.
Postmaster General BurlesOn, for
morly an associate OF Mr.. Fitzgerald
on the Appropriations Committee, was
at the Capitol to-day and saw the New
York members. 1t is believed he came

That was the statement to-day of

committeeman and leader OF Progress
sives in this county.
Roosevelt says the Progressivcs

Republican primaries. Are you aware
that there can be no such Endorsement

asked.
There is no question that Mr.. Hin

"What about District Attorney

'"Why, he won't be in it. The Colo

had the same opportunity that was
given TO Mr.. llinman. The same prop
osition was made 10 several men by the
Colonel. to cut loose from Barnes and
come out against him and Murphy. But
he lacked the courage. The Colonel
gave Mr.. Whitman, IN fact. first
chance. When he failed. then Mr..
Roosevelt took up Mayor Mitchell. Of
New York lie said that he was in no
position TO do so at this time.
MIR. Human was called in and he
courageously accepted the plan, and
that is why the Progressives will be
with him. Had the Colonel been un-
able TO find man to accept the plan

ticket himself in order to clean up the
state and get rid Of the big bipartisan

ARGENTINE CORN CARGO
HELD UP AT PIER
Pure Food Officials Stop "a,
600 Bags, and Price Jumps
2 Cents as Result.

Through the refusal of the Federal
authorities - permit the delivery OF
a cargo Of $4,000 bags of Argentine
corn. consigned to New York firms,
prices were bid up sharply yesterday
on the New York Produce Exchange,
and corn was more than > cents higher
when the market closed. The corn was
declared unsatisfactory as to quality,
and this is the first time that the
United States Government has ruled
adversely on Argentine corn, which
has been coming in under the new tar
If duty free.
Brokers were not able TO recall that
the government had ever taken such a
step before. and they believed that it
might be of farreaching effect. The
corn came on the steamer Ascension de
Lerrinaga. which ran ashore on the
mud flats Of Buenos Ayres. and. her
matches being left open, the cargo was
exposed TO heavy rains.
Part Of the corn was consigned 20
Boston and to Philadelphia. but the
Federal officials at these ports refused
to pass it as up to standard until it
had been treated. When il arrived
here it was inspected by Chief CIR; in
Inspector q. Fl. X. White. of the Prod

BARNES DECLARES
ROOSEVELT ISSUE
Insists That Colonel Seeks
Through Human to Re enter

Albany. July -. William Barnes
ir Republican state chairman. IN an
editorial in "The Albany Journal to-
night. declares that Theodore Roose-
welt. through the agency OF Hinman
candidacy. is trying TO re-estaoIlSh
him self as Republican TO enter the
Republican primaries for the PreSl-
Dental nomination o. 1916. The ca
torial says:
"By announcement in this morning s

has attempted to select The RepuD-
lican candidate for Governor. and has
named Mr.. Harvey D. Human. OF Bing-

There are 522,15O enrolled Rcpub-

THE issue presented 70 them. the

the same result.
NO Republican can be elected Gov
ernor Of New York who is not his own
master.
THE obvious fact is that. through
tho agency OF Mr.. Humans candidacy,
Mr.. Roosevelt is cndeavoring 10 re-
establish himself as Republican. IN
order that he may enter the Repubh-
can primaries for the Presidential
nomination Of 1915.

Collector Repeats That He
Did Call Congressman
"Murphy's Agents"
BITTER TRADE
ON TAMHANY MEN
Failure TO Name Man to Sue
coed Henkel GrieVeS Local
Democrats.

Dudley Field Malone. Collector OF
the Port Of New York, did not call any
Of the Tammany Representatives in
Congress from New York City thieves,
crooks. and buccaneers" He so an
nounced yesterday. But he did call
some of them, and he repeated it yes
terday, mere agents and nominees Ct
Charles F. Murphy and representatives
Of his type Of leadership"
In view Of what Colonel Roosevelt
said about Mr.. Murphy and his sub
bosses in Tammany Hall on Wednesday
night. some Of these twenty Democrats
in Congress have greater grounds for
libel suits against Mr.. Malone than
Mr.. Barnes has against Colonel Roose-
welt, i'm the opinion Of those who read
the summons and complaint in the suit
Of William Barnes against Colonel
Roosevelt because the latter said the
same things about him that he said
about Mr.. Murphy.
Mr.. Malone even went further than
Colonel Roosevelt did in his TRADE
against Mr. Barnes and Mr Murphy.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not reflect on their
intelligence. But Mr.. Malone said this
about the New York City members OF
The House Of Representatives:
III the full New York City deleGa-
ton calls on the President to solicit
patronage. they will impress upon the
Pres dent The need for vast improve
ment in the personnel Of the New York
delegation. in order that we may have
Congressman in Washington who will
ittingly represent the great business
interests and the intelligence Of the
City Of New York"
From one Of the New York Congress
men who was here yesterday it vas
learned that one Of the big grievances
over the question OF patronage that
they will present TO the Pres dent j.
his failure to appoint Democrat TO
the Office OF L. 5. Marshal in this dis
trict. 10 succeed William Henkel.

held over.
There are five candidates for Mar
shall Henkel's place. which carries
salary Of $4,000 year and consider
able patronage. William +. McCombs,
Corporation Counsel Polk, John 4.
Hennessy and other Wilson Democrats
are backing James VI. Clancy, an anti
Tammany Democrat. and former war
den OF Sing Sing, for the place.
Tammany Hall wants John +. Gil
christ named. Gilchrist is financial
secretary Of the Tammany organization
IN the I'd Assembly District. and is one
of "Ton" Folcy'S lieutenants.
The three other candidates are Ross
Williams, Tammany leader of the 18th.
and two former Tammany State Sena-
tors. Louis Munzinger and John T.
Mccall. Tammany is fearful lest Clan
cy be appointed.
This particular Congressman said
the belief in Washington was that
President Wilson would have probably

some anti-Tammany man for contirma

81 believe that the judgment and de-
sire Of the whole country cry out for a
now temper in affairs. The time has
come when determinations against
particular classes Of men should be alb

Justice. for peace. the peace which IS
founded in common understandings,

onism.

elements that the welfare OF great
