NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-How far
Bryan will go in opposing the
: presidents program OF military
preparedness is giving democratic
leaders some concern today.
They believe, however, that in
a Showdown" between the two
men the nation would give its
support generally to the chief en-
ecutive.
Yet these leaders do not un der
estimate Bryan's influence in case
an open split between him and
the man he helped make presi-
dent should endanger the success
OF the democratic party.
There are only two men in
the United States who have real
ly large personal followings,
said democrat high in the coun-
ellis of the party today. "One is
Roosevelt, the other is Bryan. II
is too early to say whether Bryan
intends to use the support he
commands in an out-and-out tight
against the administration.
But the president has issued
his program, and he will have to
go through with it or admit de-
feat"

He started on what he profess

Saturday, and departed from Sc

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 9.
Increased opposition to the ad-
ministration's military prepared
ness program among democrats
was seen here todoy when it be-
came known that Floor Leader
Kitchen was firmly unfriendly to
the measure.
1t is rumored that Representa-
tive Sherwood of Ohio plans to
oppose the measure. The powers
above Kitchen won't attempt CO.
ercion to swing him in line.
Therefore the administration
isn't disposed to favor a caucus
on the preparedness issue. Such
method may be used later to
coral enough votes.
The administration would rath-
er have the passing of the bill
non-partisan, which would be i'm
possible under the caucus sys-
TEN.

With j. Tate Mason, cOron-
err of King county, declaring
his positive belief that Larry
Sullivan, Tacoma cripple, had
been murdered and his holy
thrown into the waters OF
Seattle harbor, large squads
of detectives I'm Seattle aud
Tacoma last night were or
dered out ON the case.
At late hour this afternoon no
definite clues had been reported
Half of the detectives favored the
murder theory and the others be-
lieved the cripple boy, in a spell
of dependency, had committed
suicide.
There were plenty of odd cir
cumstances in connection with
the disappearance of the cripple
and the finding of his body at .
o'clock Saturday morning, to sub
stantiate either theory.
Struck on Nose.
Coroner Mason's post-mortem
last night at Seattle, and an I'M
usual activity on the part of De-
tective Capt. Tenant of Seattle
and the Tacoma police, resulted
after The Times had furnished Of
ficials with several intimate de-
tails of the disappearance.
Because these details include
persons who may or may not be
involved in any possible foul play,
they cannot be divulged.
The coroner learned, however
that Sullivan had died before his
body became immersed. Ills
lungs contained no water, proving
that he did not drown.
IL developed In the eXani-
ination that the boy had sus-
tained brutal blow on the
nose, either from some other
person or by falling on his
face. The bridge of his nose
was crushed and 1t is bcliev-
ed that bones were broken.
Bruise marks indicated that
this also occurred before the
body was immersed.
There were no other marks on
the body. The lads crutches have
not been found. An odd feature
of the case is that Larry's hat was
missing and has not been discov-
cred, but that a battered sou wes-
ter oilskin hat was floating with.
in a foot of the dead boys head.
Watch Stopped at 1913

GREECE

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The behav-

Inside information is to the
effect that the Greeks may not
remain neutral, and an under
standing with Bulgaria is sug-
gested.
The people themselves, per-
haps, still are with the allies,
but even this is uncertain. the
court influence has been effective
