M'CALL Ii. O.P. NOMINEE
 FOR MASS. GOVERNOR
Walsh Renominated By Dem Ocrats-Clark to Lead
 PrOgressives.

Boston, Sept. PA revision of the complete vote of the state in, yester- days joint primaries, made today. somewhat increased the pluralities of the nominees. Gov. Walsh was re- nominated for a third term by the democrats and former Congressman Mccall was chosen as his republican opponent. The total vote of the state for the principal candidates were as follows:
 Republican governor-Samuel W. Mccall, Winchester, 65.o35; Grafton D. Cushing, Boston, 59,344; Eugene N. Foss, Boston, 10,204. Lieutenant gov- ernor-Calvin Coolidge, Northampton, 73,S70; Guy A. Ham, Milton, 49,s46.
 Democratic governor-David I. Walsh, Clinton, 74,b95; Frederick &. Deitrick, Cambridge, 3,470.
 Returns from about half the state in the republican contest for auditor indicated the renomination of A. B. Cook, the present incumbent. The vote in 532 out of LAO precincts which include Boston and nine other eastern cities, Worcester and four compelte western counties was: A. B. Cook, Boston, 24,792; E. c. R. Bag ley, Boston, 14,673, s. w. George, Haverhill, 10,273.
 In the contest for the democratic nomination for attorney general J. J. Donahue, Medford, apparently was successful by a substantial majority over Harold Williams, Jr., Brookline. The vote for these two candidates in the same places as in the republican returns for auditor was as follows: Donahue, 34,759; Williams, 8,127.
 Despite the unwieldy ballot and the intricacies of a new primary law, comparatively few ballots were re- jected because of improper marking and the tctal vote for the republican and democratic candidates for gov ernor was more than forty per cent. larger than that thrown at the prim- ary last year. Politicians ascribed this to the vigorous campaign on the part of several of the candidates and to an unusually large number of minor contests. Even a smart rain storm failed to dampen the political ardor of the voters.
 There was no contest in the pro. gressive party for governor and Nell son B. Clark Of Beverly will be of- fcially recognized as the opponent of Gov. Walsh and MT. Mccall at the state election in November.

LOAN TO ALLIES WILL BE ABOUT $7OO,oOo,00O
Two Details Yet to Be Agreed Upon By the Con-
 ferees.

New York, Sept. 22.-The success of the Anglo-French financial com mission, seeking to establish a big credit loan here to Great Britain and France is virtually assured in the opinion today of American f1nanciers in close touch with the situation.
 Announcement setting forth that an agreement had been reached was ex- pected by Wall street within forty eight hours.
 The optimistic views of the situa- ton which was entertained by many of the bankers who have been con- ferring with the commission during it's twelve day stay here was not dim med by the report that two details were yet to be agreed on by the con- ferees These two details, however, it was reported, were not regarded as of prime. importance.
 As outlined by American bankers, the proposed credit loan will be for approximately $700,000,000. It will be issued on five year joint Anglo French notes which probably will be convertible on maturity at the hold CTS opinion, into joint Anglo-French 1-2 per cent. bonds maturing twenty years, or whereabouts, from the date Do sold to the investor at par and to the big underwriting syndicate at son1e- thing less than par, estimates as to this figure ranging between 97 1-2 and 99 per cent.
 Munitions of war, these bankers assert, will be virtually excluded from the operation of the loan, the report ee intention of the commission being, at present, to continue shipments here of gold and securities in sums suf- ficient to keep the rate of exchange stable and thus provide funds for the payment of firearms and explosives.
 While it was regarded as possible that eleventh hour developments might upset the whole tentative agreement, it was thought to be un- likely that this would occur.
 Some bankers informed of develop ments thought that announcement of success might be delayed till Friday or, possible, Saturday.

BRYAN AND WILSON Y HOLD CONFERENCE
Former Secretary of State Refuses to Comment on Visit or Discuss
 Public Questions.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Former Sec retary of State Bryan conferred with President Wilson for more than an hour today.
 When he left the White House MT. Bryan absolutely refused to comment on his visit or to discuss any public questions. The former secretary de- clared that he feared any statement he might make on public questions might be connected with his talk with the President At the White House it was said no statement would be made regarding MT. Bryan's visit.
 MT. Bryan was asked if he had talked to the president concerning his proposed peace mission to Europe; if he had discussed his attitude and that of the administration toward prepar- edness; if he had preached political subjects the forthcoming campaign in particular, and if he had talked about his political observations during his recent long tour westward. To all questions the former secretary was deaf.
 MT. Bryan drove to the White House in an electric automobile, with the initials HI. S. B." on the door. He said that the car had been bought secondhand and that he did not know what the initials stood for. After leaving the president, MT. Bryan re- mained in front of the White House for nearly half an hour talking cas- ually with newspapermen. He asked them to help him sell his farm in Texas and his home here and said that he planned to leave Washington tonight for a trip through the south and southwest, during which he would visit his home at Miami, Fla.

 Are Secured.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Actlng Secretary of State Polk announced to- day that the department now is in possession of all but two of the doc- uments taken from James F. J.

All correspondence made public by the British government, it was made plain, was before the, depart nent in the form of summaries or cabled despatches when President Wilson decided upon the recall of the Austrian ambassador.

Officials would not comment on the letter of Captain Fritz Won Papen, the German mil;- t"ry attache, Tn which ne said: "l always say to those idiotic Yankees that they had Letter hold their tongues" Whether any action would be taken by the government relating to Won Papen, officials would not disclose.
 The copy of pr. Dumba's letter in which the ambassador of Austria Hungary comments upon the attitude of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, it was said, had not yet reached the department Five of the letters made public in Great Bril- ain yesterday also were given out by the state department today.

ARMENIANS RESCUED
 BY FRENCH WARSHIPS
Large Band Pursued by Turks Taken Aboard Cruiser and Brought
 To Port Said.

Paris, Sept. 22, 5:10 a. m.-The res- cue by French warships of a large band of Armenians from pursuing Turks is recounted in a statement ls- sued last night by the ministry Of marine.
 Pursued by Turks says the state ment, five thousand Armenians, three thousand of whom were women, children and old men, took refuge Tn the Djebel Moussa Mountains at the end of July. They succeeded in keep ing their assailants at bay until the beginning of September.
 Ammunition and provisions then gave out and they would inevitably have succumbed had they not suc- ceeded in getting word of their grave situation to a French cruiser. Im- mediately cruisers of the French blockading squadron off the Syrian coast went to their help and took all of them to Port Said where they were installed in a provisional camp

ALLIES START NEW
 PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
Artillery Used on Vast Scale
 in West Followed By In- -. fantry Assaults.

Paris, Sept. 22, 12 noon.-General Joffre the French commander in chief and the allied commanders on this front--Field Marshal Sir John French and King Albert of Belgium are developing new plan of cam paign that involves the almost con- tlnuous use of artillery on a vast scale along the whole line.
 Masses of artillery have been em- ployed by both sides since the be- ginning of opera tions in preparing 2 for infantry attacks, bounding their adversaries works for an hour or two, then suddenly suspending fire and assaulting With infantry. The allies are now meth odically main taining their shell fire for days at a time without infantry attacks, drop. ping projectiles upon the charred front into every fifty yard square, and repeating the eprocess-a deadly, au- tcmatic, unceasing pounding. The heavy calibred guns send their storms; of shells upon cncampment of first reserves behind the lines and upoh bridges and provision trains.
 Official reports obtained by the French army officers from their own observers, from prisoners, and from
 
 that parts of the opposing lines which have been subjected to this unceas- ing bombardment have been render ed entirely untenable, and that the best the Germans can do is to re-oc. cupy their abandoned works after the boambardments have let up and then leave quickly when the showers of projectiles begin to fall again.
 Paris, Sept. 22, 2:30 D. m.-Tho artillery fighting alon::: the western front, so prevalent in the past few weeks, has broken out in Belgium, according to the French official re- port given out in this city this af- ternoon.
 Artillery fighting has taken place also near Arras, between the Somme and Disc between the Aisne and the Argonne region. and in Lorraine.
 A group of eight French aviators have successfully bombarded a rail- road station on the line from Verdun to Metz.

PLACE THEATRICAL
 MAN UNDER ARREST
But Leon Victor Proves He Is Not Michael A. Rofrano, New Yorker
 Indicted for Murder

mUlCtcu 1OF Murder
 Leon Victor, advance man for the Seven Keys to Baldpate," a comedy. was quietly eating his lunch at M T.. Whites cafe this noon when his meal was interrupted by a private detec- tive and Constable Fred Wrinkle. who placed him under arrest, believing him to be Michael A. Rofrano. who has been indicted for murder in New York city.
 "What's the matter?" asked Victor
 "Come on, we want you," replied the sleuths. "We've been looking for you, Rofrano."
 :Rofrano?" replied the theatrical man in surprise. My name is Vic- tor.''
 Yes, we know all about that was the answer.
 The sleuths produced a photograph of the indicted Gotham politician and Victor was amazed at the resem- blance. The gum shoe artists were not to be put off by any excuse, how ever. They had a photograph of Rofrano and even Victor admitted it looked like him. He was in a quandry. In a strange city With no friends, he had visions of being locked behind bars until he could be iden- titied. Then he thought of Thomas J. Lynch, manager of the Russwin Ly- ceum. He referred his captors to MT. Lynch and much to their dis appointment and his comfort the manager said he was not Rofrano.

Bulgaria on Brink of War-Gov. ernment Seizes Railways
 bia Summons New Forces
GREEK CABINET HOLDS
 MEETING ON SITUATION
None of Allies Representatives At Sofia Cherishes Hope That Bulgaria Can Be Prevented From Joining Central Powers-Teutons Canture Russian City of Astrow-French Bombard German Barracks.

The Balkans, under spur of the news of a big Teutonic army be- ieved to be ready to fight its way through to Turkish territory and im- portant diplomatic negotiations about to bear fruit, are astir as they have not been since the wars of two and three years ago.
 Bulgaria's mobilization has put that country on a war footing, and the railways have been restricted to gov ernment uses. Greece is seriously agitated, consultations between King Constantin, Premier Venizelos and the general staff being followed by the calling of the cabinet. Serbia is summoning new forces to resist the expected Teutonic invasion.
 Strong German Army.
 Limitations from Berlin are that the army to take the offensive against Serbia is strong one, adequate for the object in view.
 Bulgaria's position has not as yet been definitely announced. It is made plain, however, that the nation has for its object the incorporation of Macedonia within it's borders and will take any steps considered necessary to attain that end. Her military measures so far are of a precaution- ary nature, similar to those of Swift zerland and Holland, according to the Bulgarian minister in London, who denies that Bulgaria has decided to act with the central powers.
 -.+ Artillery Fighting.
 Fighting on the western war front is till chiefly confined to artillery fir ing, which the French, British and Belgians are conducting on a huge scale after systematic plan.
 Spirited cannonading has been opened in Belgium, and there has been a continuation of artillery engage ments along the line to the south, the Paris war office mentioning es- pecially activity between the Somme and the Disc and the Aisne and Marne and in Lorraine.
 German Barracks Bombarded
 German barracks at Middelkerke and a Belgian railroad train have been bonn barded by French airmen and eight of them dropped explosives successfully on the railroad station at Conflans, on the line between Yer dun and Metz, it is announced.
 A Dutch steamer, the Koningen Emma, of 5000 tons, struck a mine while approaching Amsterdam on her way from Java. Her passengers and crew were rescued

Bulgaria on Brink of War.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Monday, Sept. 20, via London, Sept. 22, 1:16 D. m Bulgaria apparently is on the brink of war. The people generally believe that hostilites are imminent. The military authorities have taken pos session of the railways and ordinary traffic has been suspended.
 Diplomatic representatives here of the entente powers generally recog- niZe that their cause is a lost one, and that Bulgaria. is manifesting clearly a tendency toward the cen- tral powers. This is due to the dis satisfaction of the government at Ser bias reply in the negotiations for territorial concession in Macedonia and at the conduct of Greece in this connection.

Allies Give Up Hope.

None of the representatives here of the allies cherishes longer the hope that Bulgaria can be prevented from joining with Germany, Austria and Turkey.
 In government circles the statement was made today that all the military measures which have been taken are of a preventive nature, designed solely to guard against circumstances which might threaten Bulgaria's po- sition in the present situation, which is developing with unforeseen and ex- traordinary rapidity. These measures consist in turning over the railroads to the military authorities and sus- pending ordinary traffic.
 Enthusiastic Demonstrations.
 Reports from many parts of Bull garia tell of enthusiastic demonstra- tions in favor of the government This is considered symptomatic of public feeling, which does not ignore the fact that the country is near to war.
 The formal cession by Turkey of the territory along the Dedeaghatch railroad has been delayed by the &C., tion of the entente powers in notify ing Bulgaria that arneptance of this territory would be regarded as an un-
