issues are occupying all the attention
of the 400 delegates attending the state

the present congressman, who will be
renominated by acclamation tonight.

the office of state corporation com
missioner, the only other state officer
to be elected in November. The con
vention will, finish its work tonight

WITH BOB YORK
PROMOTERS ANNOUNCE CLASSY
WELTERWEIeHT BOUT

the followers of the boxing game a
good show.
Bob York has been in several good
bouts this summer and has a good
record. He is of the welterweight
class and is fast on his feet. He has
been successful in almost every fight
ne has been in and is matched for an
affair in Santa Fe on the nineteenth

is fortunate in having boxer of his
ability signed for a bout.
Gallegos has been spending the
summer in Mora training and has
been in several contests with Mora
fighters. He has1fh record of being
good mixer and is able to take as
much as he gives. He is a promising
conner in the welterweight division
and when he meets York he will do
his best to down the Silver City lad,
as he is looking for fights in Denver
and Ell Paso.

St. Louis, Aug 17.--Four Of the five
International Shoe company factories
did not open today as an indirect re-
suit of the European war. Seven Of
