Tighe was able to save two horses
and three wagons from the building.
He said he had been in the building
about an hour before the fire was
discovered and Rad seen no sign of
fire. The building is alongside the
Erie railroad tracks, and for lack OF
any other clue as to how the fire
started, ii was thought possible that

Three Men, Who Secure
Little Booty.

shortly before / o'clock this morning
while passing 2SS Eighth avenue. on
his way to work. He lives at 46
httleton avenue, and is employed by
the Goodrich Baking Company, at 81
Drift street
Persons apparently familiar with
his nightly journey between the two
places are believed to have planned
the holdup, which yielded $5 and
Merklen's hat, which was taken by
one OF the robbers who left his own
hat, one Of green felt, behind.
Three men, one tall and thin, and
the others short and stout, were con-
cerned in the robbery. Merklen's IS
shouts when he was set upon, brought
Sergeant Callan and Policeman Gil
Shan, of the Fifth precinct, who
arrived in time to see the three rob-
bers disappear around the corner of
the plant Of the Sanders Manufac-
turing Company, at 294 Eighth ave-
nue.. The three escaped over the
fences.
Merklen's lower lip was split by a
blow from the fist of one of the stout
men, but he was not badly injured
and was able to go to work The po-
lice are searching for the three, of
whom they have excellent descrip-
tions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-Austria

the Austrian ambassador to the
United States, as requested by Presi-
dent Wilson.
This information was given to AM
bassador Penfield when he informally
advised Austrian officials, on instruc-

United States sought the recall of
DIR. Dumba and would not be salts
fed with his departure ON leave Of
absence.
Mr.. Penfield was assured that the
wishes of the United States would

preston is in the hands of state de-
partment, officials say they cannot

NIP SCHEME: Of
NO BOSS LEAGUE
Send Out Pastors for Assembly
Ticket So Opponents Won't
kidnap Voters.

An attempt made to secure the
Progressive nomination for the candi-
dates of the No-Boss League in the
event that they We're unsuccessful in
the Republican primary was nipp@
in the bud today, according to Wal
ter f. Simpson, secretary of the Pro-
gressive County Committee.
According to Mr.. Simpson, the No
Boss League has been sending out in
their literature, a paster containing
the names of the No-Boss League
candidate, with Instructions TO the
Progressives who are in the No Boss
League movement to have their Pro-
gressive friends paste the name on
the Progressive ballot and vote for
their candidates in the Progressive
box.
AS soon as Mr.. Simpson learned OF
this move he Immediately got busy,
and. with the assistance of a corps of
clerks, started sending out n slip con-
tanning the names Of thefProgressive
candidates for Assembly, with in
structions to the voters to paste them
on the blank Progressive ballot and
vote them as the ::suggested' candi-
dates of the Progressive party.
TT was our intention of simply
having a number of the Progressives
throughout the country write in the
names of the suggested" candidates
on the ballot" said Mr.. Simpson, but
when we discovered that the No-Boss
Leaguers were sending out slips con-
tanning a list of candidates to be
voted on our ticket, why, of course,
we had to get busy. 1t would have
been a pretty cleved political trick If
they could have gotten away with
it,"
The Progressives are also sending
out q letter with instructions how to
vote and warming the voters against
the other slip which is being used.
A card containing the names OF the
candidates that have been suggested
by the Progressives is also being
mailed out.
