would not run for governor despite
his repeated assertion to that fact.

TRANSFER OF TROOPS
Is Asked for by Governor Stew
art of Montana Fearing Fur
ther Trouble at Butte.

WASHINGTON. June 26.-Gover-
nor Stewart, of Montana, today asked
that federal troops be transferred
from Fort Vancouver to Fort Missou-
la in order to be in readiness in case
of further trouble at Butte. Senator
Myers called at the White House to
support the governors request. He
stated that conditions in Butte were
very unsettled and that further out
breaks were liable to occur at any
time. There are no federal troops in
Montana, he said, and in case of SER
ious rioting 1t would take too long to
bring them from Vancouver for them
to be of any service. President Will
son took the request under advise
ment and later took 1t up at the cabi-
net meeting.
