Youths Who Annoyed Girl Get
Twenty Days Each.

Louis Riccio, of 341 East 115th st.,
and Louis Seconio, of 306 Pleasant Az A.,
both twenty-five years old, were SEN
fenced to twenty days in the work
house last night by Magistrate Corri-
gan after they had been brought into
court on the complaint of Katherine
Washington, seventeen years old, who
said that the men had annoyed and ir-
suited her at the recreation pier at
18th st. and the East River.
The girl, who lives at 305 East 1lSta
St, said she left her home last even :ng
in company with her little sister for a
walk. When they reached the pier the
men accosted her and. she ran from
them. Later they came TO her again
and tried to strike up an acquaintance.
When she refused they took her By
the srps and tried to lead her away
from her sister. Becoming frightened
she screamed, and her cries brought a
policeman. The defence offered by the
men was that they thought they knew
the girl.

am eXonerated DR.. Carman and myself
will never rest until the murderer is
captured.
"The public takes much delight in
thinking me woman of iron nerve

Action of Republican
State Electors.
GIVES A FEW FACTS
ABOUT NOMINATIONS
Asserts He VIII Cast Ballot on
September 20 for Men Best
Fitted for Office.

"All talk of combinations. deals, ETC.,
ia wide OF the mark, because there Is
no man, to my knowledge, in the state
who can predict what action the Re-
publican electors OF the state will take
when they vote on September 2s," SAID
William Barnes last night when asked
about an alleged slate published in an
evening newspaper.
The putative slate, headed by DIS
trict Attorney Whitman for Governor
Eugene NJ. Travis, of Brooklyn, FOR
Lieutenant Governor, and James W.
Wadsworth, jr., Of Livingston, for
United States Senator, according to the
story, had the approval Of the Repub-
lican state chairman.
Later Mr.. Barnes issued the follow
ing statement:
Constant misinterpretation Of the
provisions of the election law make 1t
appropriate that I should set forth to
the Republican electors of the state a
few salient facts.
"on September 90 $4,000 enrolled
Republicans Of the State of New York
are entitled to vote for the purpose OF
making nominations Of the Republican
party for all Offices to be filled by the
voters.
candidates for state Office to be
voted for at that primary election must
file their petitions containing at least
5000 names before September 8. After
that date no other candidates can have
their names printed on the official
ballot.
"The state committee and the vari-
Gus county committees of the state are
prohibited by law from expanding one
cent of their funds in behalf of the
nomination of any candidate who may
present himself through petitions to
the enrolled electorate Of the party.

furthermore, is prohibited by its rules
from indorsing or favoring any candi-

ton, he said, was equally vague as to
just where he rode with Mrs. Carman.
Nor could he say how long they were
out riding. They were home, he said,
in time for lunch.
1t has been realized all along that
the doctor had abundant opportunity
to dispose of revolver while driving
to visit his patients.
The officials were interested yester-
day to know just where the Carmsns
went in their automobile on the morn
ing following the shooting. The trip,
as near as can be fixed, was made
hours after the murder and. according
TO DR.. Runcie, was after Mrs. Csrman
had told her husband she had spied
on him with the aid of dictograph.
The country around Freeport affords
every opportunity of disposing of
weapon. To the east is large swamp,
through which flow innumersble
creeks.

PICKS ANTI.WILS0N MAN
Gov. Fielder's Vote Gives
Smith Choice Berth.
fBy telegraph to The Tribune. |

Trenton, N. j., July 14.-The vote of
Governor Fielder to-day landed John A..
Smith, of Camden, stanch anti-Wilson
Democrat. into the choice job as custo-
dian of the State House. Edward E.
Grosscup, Democratic state chairman
and a warm friend of President Wilson,
voted against Smiths selection.
The Governor, State Controller Ed
wards and Mr.. Grosscup, who is State
Treasurer, make up the commission
which selects the custodian. The Con-
troller is known as an anti-Wilson
Democrat.
The action of Governor Fielder came
as a surprise because he is known as a
close friend of the President. 1t is I'M
dcrstood, however. that his enmity
toward Joseph P. Tumulty, the Presi-
dents secretary, because Of his affilia-
ton with the Wittpenn faction is re-
sponsible for the Governors action.
