that the liabilities were In excess OF the

fact that Developments along certain lines
during the last nine months had not
proved profitable. Costly experiments
we're introduced which AT the present
time have not been perfected and cam

The officers further stated that the

L advisable TO conserve the interests OF

company by a receivership.
"Mr. Singer stated that the orders on
the books Of the company at the FIRST OF
the year were in excess of past records
and more than sufficient to maintain the
running capacity OF the plant"
II was learned that another cause FOR
the failure is the lack OF harmony pre-
vailins among the vasous interests in the
company during the last nine months.
The officers OF the company. II Is said,
agree perfectly, but some OF the stock
holders oppose their plans for the COM

Tho result has been the development. OF
the present financial difficulty. II is said
that - number o: suits will probably grow

State and New York Democrats.
Mr.. Osborn's nomination was not OPP
posed. Charles +. Murphy said Osborn
In clear. strong voice az though he
liked II. When Mr.. Osborn entered the
room he was received with polite ap-
plause. which was repeated at the end OF
his speech.
1t was Mr. Richards again who nomi-
mated the successor to John A. Mason as
secretary--William Allaire Shortt of
Richmond. The election OF treasurer
fell through because telegraph wires were
down. and consent could not be obtained
from the man Gov. Glynn. Mr. McComb s
and Mr.. Osborn had In mind. supposedly
George Foster Peabody. SO the commit
tee gave Mr.. Osborn the authority to name
a COMMITTEES which should pick the treas
urer later on.
Mr.. Osborn also received the un.
precedented power. In so far as the state
is concerned, OF naming the campaign
committee and the finance committee, the
members OF which need not he members
OF the State committee. He also received
authority to fill vacancies on the execu-
tive committee.
This unexampled gift OF authority was
made on the suggestion OF William +.
McCombs. who was not surprised to learn
afterward that the resolution comforting
u had gone through Mr.. McCombs re :
ceived similar authority from the Demo-
cratic National Committee prior 10 tho
1919 campaign.
Mr.. Osborn said afterward that he
understood the power that the committee
had put In his hands. and accepted IL
~ an Immense responsibility.

Gov. Glynn. looking out OF mis- window
on the tenth floor OF the Vanderbilt

oner In New York yesterday, said he was
very well satisfied with his new State
chairman.
Il believe that the Democrats have se-
lected the best qualified man IN the State
10 De chairman OF the Democratic State
committee said the Governor
The Governor would not venture n
prophecy as to the effect OF the days pro-
ceedings upon Charles +. Murphy as a
factor in Democratic politics But Il was
clear that the Governor believed that
under the new direct primary law the
tenure OF any party leader would be short.
MIR. Glynn realizes that there IL only one
sure way OF overthrowing Charles f. Muir
PLY or any other leader. and that Ia
through the right of voting AT the pr..
maries. In other words. II Murphy is to
be overturned the thing must be accom-
plished at the polls next fall. and then
only by voting against the leaders who
are known to be Murphy men.
The Governor thinks that President Will
son strongly approves the selection OF
William Church Osborn as state chairman
despite all reports (which come from the
camp OF Dudley Field Malone.
THE selection Of Mr.. Osborn Is a very
distinct step in advance" said william +.
McCombs. 1T places tremendous resron-
sibilities on Mr.. Osborn. and think they
are rightly placed there. The resolutions
give him very concentrated power.

ST.. PAUL, Aug. 27.-The farms of
Minnesota this year will produce more
than $380,OO0,O00 in new wealth. It
is one of the greatest crops in the
history Of the state. A score of ex-
perts after exhaustive Investigations
have made the estimates for the Dis
patch and they are considered con-
sentative and within a very close
range of what the final production
will be.
Work of Many Experts.
In addition to the facilities at the
State School of Agriculture, such men
as Dean A. F. Woods, Prof. c.. P. Bull
agricultural expert; Prof. T. L. Hack
err, dairy expert; William Magivny
president of the Union Stock yards al
South St. Paul; Nat P. Rogers, live
stock dealer, and Fred D. Sherman
Minnesota commissioner of immigra-
| ton, have made the estimates.
The figures represent the average
arrived at by the experts, professors
government reports and figures from
grain elevators and storage plants.
Dairy Products Beat Wheat.
For the first time in the history oil
the state the dairy products have pass
ed the wheat values, despite the fac
that wheat values made a gain. Prof
Hacker says that in Minnesota there
are 100000 mich COWS, and that the
average yield of butter fat to a COW
in Minnesota is 1870 pounds, and thai
the average price is % $40 cents {
pound. With other products, the dairy
| values will reach $69,OO0,000.
No Allowance for Rise.
In making the estimates only Z
small allowance was made for higl
prices brought on by the European
war, and if ocean commerce is re-es
tablished promptly the total figure:
may reach 34O0,O0O,OOO.
Aside from potatoes, the experts re
gard the figures as accurate. The lat,
potato crop looks promising, but it il
not fully developed.
Large Hay Crop.
The hay figures show the crop t,
be the largest ever known in Mime
sofa. A substantial gain is recorded
in poultry and eggs, one of Mime
sota's chief industries.
Some idea Of the corn crop can b.
gained in the estimated valuation O

St. Paul will make big increase.
The item of $20,OOO,O00 for othe

products.
