New York, July 2.-Last winter, among several other demands from the Players Fraternity, the national commission amended the working agreement. It promised thereafter to make necessary the consent of every club of every league of higher classification before an athlete could be disposed of to league of lower rating. This, it was believed, would safeguard the interests of the player. because it would assure him a better chance of advancement in his pro- fession by giving every manager a fair chance to negotiate for his ser vices. Clarence Kraft of New Or leans was drafted by the Brooklyn National league club last September, several months prior to the amend ment of the national agreement. At that time. according to its rights, Nashville put in claim to the players services, safeguarding it's own inter- ests in the matter of securing player in case he should not make good in the fastest company. Subsequently,. after the sixteen clubs of the National and American leagues decided they had no use for the first baseman, Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyns, sold the player to New ark of the International league, which team Ebbets also controls. Nash vile immediately pressed it's claim to the player under the old working
New Britain herald., 1914-07-22

agreement. The national commis- sion, of which Ban Johnson is the ruling power, decided in favor of the lesser minor league club and ordered Kraft to report to Nashville. President Fultz of the fraternity countermanded the order, instructing the disputed athlete to remain in Newark. He argued that, according to the new working agreement, it would be nec- essary for every club in both the ln- ternational league and American as- sociation-which are circuits of Class AA rating to waive claim to Kraft before he could be sent down to the Southern association, which is rated only at Class A. The national com mission in reply in justification of its verdict instead that no legislation is retroactive that the new agreement didn't apply in this instance to a player who was drafted by a major league while the old agreement was in force. President Fultz appealed in vain for a rehearing of the case. The national commission was obdur- ate Fultz called several meetings of the fraternity. Finally the rI@v@ra of the two major leagues who belong to the fraternity agreed to abiue ug the sentiment of their officers toward such drastic action as walkout. The threatened strike was averted when Ebbets announced he would buy
 Kraft from Nashville for s2,500.

that he is sure to become involved in a horrible muss if he espouses the candidacy of any man at this time or shows any partiality to one faction or the other in the Empire state.
 Some of his advisers have been frank enough to tell him that the situation seems almost hopeless and that the burden on his shoulders will only be the heavier if he attempts to make an active fight until after the candidate for governor has been se- lected.
 Reports About NSulzer.
 The rumpus between the so-called independent democrats and the or ganization men is only one feature of situation that is alarming the ad- ministration. Reports reach Wash ington to the effect that William Sul. ger will draw many democratic votes in the upstate districts, and in addi- tion to that there is wide discomfort among democrats in the New York state congress delegation.
 The New Y0rk state representa- tives, are cut clear to the bone over patronage matters. The complaint of Chairman Osborn of the demo- cratic state committee, voiced in The Sun today in regard to postmakter- ships in New York state found ready response in the Washington delegation. Almost to a man, they give fervent amen.
 Chairman Osborn Complains.
 Chairman Osborn complained that there are between seventy-five and Q hundred post offices now being held hv x1,h~ pired. The administration denies that any blame is to be attached to 1t.
 There are now thirty-one demo- cratic representatives in congress from New York state, and the admin istration realizes that big turnover in this delegation in the coming cleo tion may cost the administration con- trol of the house of representa- tives.
 Mayor Mitchell Silent.
 After his interview at the White House Mayor Mitchell declined to dis cuss politics. He acknowledged that his conversation with the president had included some political matters and added:
 About ten days ago, by reason of numerous misstatements and exag- 6osoeioAo appearing III the news papers, l found it necessary to make public statement as to my attitude on all questions of a political char acter now interesting New York. think that at that time I made my- self clear on all the points men toned"
 What can you say as to the sug- gested candidacy of Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Roosevelt for the democratic nomination for governor in New York % was asked.
 That sort of question is covered in my statement" was the laughing reply. Everything goes right around in a circle and comes right back to the statement"
 Mayor Mitchell with Collector Ma lone left for New York on the mid- night train.

NObn|z|NC MARINES IS BEING PLANNED
Officials Decline to Tax About
 Haitian Trouble.

Washington, July 22.-Plans for mobilizing at least 1000 marines !, within striking distance of Haiti and the Dominican Republic move forward another step tomorrow with the ar- l rival of the naval transport Prairie at Guantanamo from Vera Cruz. The Prairie will bring the full comple- ment of officers for the marines al- | ready at Guantanamo and will re- 1 main there to transport the force to Haiti should an emergency arise while the Hancock is away for moro troops. The transport Hancock. which has just landed 300 at Guantanamo, is ! now head for the Philadelphia Navy Yard to return with another load to bring the total force up to at least | 1000.
 With those preparations President Wilson's decision as to what action the United States shall take to quell the revolutions in. the island repub- lie and satisfy the pressure of Euro pean creditors will be awaited. War and navy department officials, con fident that peace can be restored on the island only by the factive inter- vention of the United States, are per- fecting their plans.
 Officials Are Silent.
 State department officials declined to say whether foreign representa- tions had advanced to the point where American action in Haiti was de- n1anded to force some control of the island governments finances that would insure liquidation of it's obli- gations.
 If intervention were ordered in Haiti it was suggested that the United States would attempt to establish d financial trusteeship over the repub- lie by which American officials not only would collect taxes, but also would require proper appropriation funds.
 May QueIl Revolution.
 If intervention in Haiti becomes necessary, it is possible that the American troops might be used to put down the long revolt that has harassed the Dominican government. Such action it was suggested might be accompanied by extension of the authority which the United States now exercises in the collection of Domini- can customs.
 Representations that Haiti's credit was good and that the government had met international obligations have been made to President Wilson by Minister Menos.

NEW YORK OUTLOOK
 ALARMS PRESIDENT
Wilson Has Conference With Mayor MItChcl at White House.

Washington, July 22.-President Wilson within the last day or two has received much information in regard to the New York state political stua- ton, and what he has heard is far from encouraging from the demo- ctatic standpoint.
 The administration is thoroughly alarmed over conditions in New York state, especially because of their ef- rect on the democratic representation in congress.
 The fear is expressed by some of the preSident's advisers that the 4po- 1itical complexion of the next house of representatives is likely to be de- termined by events in New York state, and the outlook, now. is most doleful.
 Talks With Mitchell.
 The president had half hours talk yesterday with Mayor Mitchell of New York. Monday he saw Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port. and Frank l.. Polk. National Chair man McCombs is in town and will have a long talk with the president today
 While Mayor Mitchell described his visit at the White House as merely for the purpose of paying his respects. there is no doubt that he gave the president his views on the political situation from the fusion angle.
 Boom for F. D. Roosevelt.
 MT. Malone, MT. Mitchell and Mr. Polk were hobnobbing together most of the day, and as a consequence the talk of movement to push Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, for nomination for governor as the candidate of the so-called in dependent democrats, gained new inn petus.
 MT. Mitchell disclaimed an intention to boost or boom anybody. but the leanings of MT. Malone and others who have been dropping to the White House within the last day or two clearly indicate an effort on the part of the so-called independents to get helping hand from the Yadministra- tion.
 Playing Watchful Game.
 If any of these visitors were seek ing definite assurances from Presi- dent Wilson they were disappointed. The president is going to play a watchful and waiting game as re- gards New York state politics.
 MT. Wilson's friends have told him

 Puerto Mexico. July 22.-The Mex ican political refugees here appeared today to have no chance of leaving the country except by one of the regular routes touching at Vera Cruz as the Mexican shipping companies seem to be unwilling to charter boats to them for fear of offending the new government.
 Two steamships will leave here to- night or tomorrow morning, but both call at Vera Cruz and f7only a few of the refugees seem inclined to go on board these vessels. The others apparently have decided to remain here for the present. accepting the hospitality offered by the British crui- ser Bristol, whose crowded deck makes their existence at least unpleasant.
