Applaud When Speaker Calls
Ex-Secretary's Resignation
His Only Big Act.

Although q crowd in Carnegie Hall

applause, an equal number at n Social

"War with Germany will mean only
that there will be a civil war right
within our own boundaries" shouted
Mr.. Hillquit. "In spite of the protesta-
tions of Herman Ridder that German
Americans will be Americans first and
foremost, the ties Of blood are too
strong TO be overcome. The German

might also be successful.

COPPER MEN WIN POINT
British Prize Court Grants APP
peal to Cargo Owners.

London, June 2l.-Sir Samuel Evans,
president of the prize court, to-day
granted the right of appeal to the
owners Of the copper, part Of the cargo
Of the Swedish steamer Zamora, which
the prize court had empowered the
War Department to requisition.
In rendering this decision Sir Sam
uel expressed the hope that the ma
tons of the world would not be appre-
hensive that Orders in Council would
emanate from the British government
in such violation of the acknowledged
law OF nations as TO make IL conceiva-
bic that British prize tribunals, hold
ing the law Of nations in reverence,
would feel called on to refuse obcdi-
ence TO the provisions of such orders.
For historical and other reasons the
president of the court said he believed
nothing contained in the provisions Of
Order 20 OF the prize court rules was
repugnant to international law.

TUMULTY DENIES
HUNTING M'COMBS
Presidents Secretary Says
He Isn't Trying To Be
National Chairman.
from The Tribune Bureau. ]

aSnlnRton, June Sl.-JOSepn Z.
Tumulty, secretary to President Will
son, fatty denies inspiring stories that
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, is to
retire next year.
In letter TO Thomas F. Martin, Sec
rotary of State of New jersey and pub
Usher of THE Hudson Dispatch at
Union Hill, Mr.. Tumulty refers to some
misguided friends" of McCombs as
being under the impression that he the
writer was seeking to become chair
man OF the Democratic National Com
mittee. Mr.. Tumulty adds that his re-
lations with eX-Secretary Bryan have
been Of the pleasantest and most in
innate character, so that there isn't
any truth in the story that he and Mr..
Bryan have had falling out.
Secretary Tumulty's letter was
prompted by stories Which have re-
Gently come out of New YORK that he
and Thomas j. Pence, who has charge
of the active work of the Democratic
National Committee here, were con-
spring to replace Mr.. icCombs with
Fred NJ. Lynch, of Minnesota. While
the reports have been prevalent in
, Washington ever since Mr.. Lynch was
chosen chairman Of the executive COM
mittee Of the national committee, Mr..
Tumulty has done everything to dis
courage them.
Want New Chairman.
IL is known here, however, that there
is strong movement among President
Wilson'S friends to have new chair
man elected next year, because Of the
GOODNESS said to exist between the
White House and the present chair
man.
Mr.. Tumulty's letter to Mr.. Martin
follows:
81 gladly comply with your request
for statement as TO the recent pub
7 LEGATION of certain stories with refer
ence TO my relations with Mr.. Bryan
end Mr.. McCombs.
There is no word or circumstance of
truth in these stories. If they had
appeared elsewhere than in paper of
my home town, would allow them to
pass unnoticcd. Ny relations with Mr..
Bryan during the time of his associa-
ton with the President have been of
the pleasantest and most intimate
character. Only yesterday | received
a letter from him addressing me in
terms Of warm personal friendship.
Not After the Post.
CAS- to Mr.. McCombs, some Of his
misguided friends have been under the
impression that was seeking his post
as chairman Of the Democratic Nation
al Committee. have never considered
this matter for moment. There are
strong personal reasons why / should
not even be considered for this place.
81 am not engaged in any campaign
TO exploit myself at the expense Of my
party's welfare. My time here is Who'll
ly devoted to serving in modest way
the interests Of the President and the
causes for which he stands.
"As TO the insinuation conveyed that
would deSase myself to undermine
any one by inspiring stories against
him. would say that no man who
knows me and my purposes would en-
terrain this thought for a moment, or
would dare publicly to make the
charge"

Hartford, Conn, June 21.-Failure TO
pass a horizontal bar exercise. one of
the gymnasium requirements Of Trinity
COLLEGE,, may result in the loss Of his
degree to the salutstorian of the senior
class, Thomas Herbert Robinson, Of

ground, but never before in the history
Of Trinity has the salutatorian, ranking
second highest in his class for the
academic work of the entire four years
Of the course, been denied the right OF
graduation with his class simply be-
cause he had failed to pass certain
gymnasium tests on the work OF fresh
man and sophomore gears.

Great Friend of Football Coach.
An interesting fact in connection

Ii is understood that at the meeting
