WISE WILLING TO LEAVE
ISSUE TO VOTERS

Mr.. Wise had no comment to make
last night on the action of the COM
!nittec. He said his letter spoke for
itself. and he was perfectly willing TO
let the voters of the city decide who
should be Commemorative Attorney.
His attitude, he said. was in fairness
10 all possible aspirants. and he had
nothing TO say one way or the other
about the nomination of Mr.. Haddon
by the committee.
The action of the committee was no
surprise. 1t was we'll understood in
political circles, and was so stated on
the floor of the committee last night
that majority of the body was
pledged to Mr.. Haddon. Mr.. Wise was
given considerable prestige by the an
pointment he received at the hands of
Judge Richardson, but that fact had
no weight with the committee, the pro-
gram TO nominate Mr.. Haddon having
apparently been perfectly arranged in
advance.

KNEW HE WAS QUITTING HIS
HEAD AGAINST STONE WALL"

Dr CarrinGton, III opposing any ac-
tion by the committee, said that he
knew he was 'butting his head against
stone wall" In referring to Mr..
Wise,s letter he remarked that he had
an idea Mr.. Wise felt the same way
about submitting his candidacy TO the
committee. DR.. Darlington did not
hesitate to say At the opening Of the
meeting that he favored Iladdon, but
he urged that it was against the best
policy that the committee could pursue
to nominate candidate.
IF we nominate MIR. Haddon," said
DR.. Darlington. I'VE lose him n sight
more votes than we gain for him"
DR.. Darlington added that il was
utterly impossible for a Republican to
hope to be elected and he insisted that
Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Iaddon should be
allowed TO fight il out at the polls on
November . The doctor told the COM
mittee that he did not blame Mr.. Wise
for not submitting his candidacy to
the committee, for he might have ex-
pected to get his head mashed off"
DUKE! ONLY MEAIBEI, WHO
FAVORED WISE CANDIDACY
Secretary Walter G.. Duke was the
only member of the committee who
stated that he favored Mr.. Wise's can
didacy. He asserted, however, after
reading the letter from Mr.. Wise, that
the latter had disqualified himself as
Democrat" He said lie had expected
to vote for Mr.. Wise, but at the same
time he put himself on record as favor
ing nomination by the committee.
and, after the mazes OF parliamentary
procedure-several moves In which
were rather unusual-Mr. Duke, with
twenty of the twenty-five members Of
the committee, voted TO make Mr.. Had

be passed when the roll was called on

other somersault or two with his plane

Before the sensation Of anxiety was

AVIATOR LOOPS THE Loop
NINE CONSECUTIVE TIMES

The first real sensation OF the State
Fair Of 1915 came shortly after o'clock
In the afternoon, when Art Smith avi-
ator, soaring in his acroplane at a
height Of about 1000 feet over the
northwestern section of the race track,
seemingly lost control of his machine
The aeroplane, which in the preceding
quarter of an hour had skinned and
curved its way easily and gracefully
as humming bird on the wing sud
denly halted abruptly III the air and
threw somersault. Hundreds of
those among the spectators. 900 feet
below, Joined in gasp of horror.
Another gasp went up n minute later
when II was seen that the plane was
righting itself and the daring airman
was in his seat. This time it was n
gasp OF relief. The next minute Smith
was steering for another loop, and il
became apparent to the bewildered
throng below that the first quick loop
was not accidental. AmaZement grew
in the succeeding five minutes. which
the daredevil airman devoted to put
ting his craft through series of
somersaults. He described in the air
the orbit known as the loop nine con
secutive times without entirely right
ing his machine.

Constantinople, Jan. S-The Turkish government has de- cided to put an end to the pol icy of evasion it has been at tempting, and this morning ad mitted that matters were ser ious with it. In the first place the ships of the French and Briish fleets are bombarding the forts at the lower end of the Dardenelles, and have put them practically out of bus mess, then. there can be no longer any doubt but that tho Russians have completely de- feated two Turkish armies, putting one of them complet- ely out of business. In addi- ton to this, the Russian fleet in the Black Sea has gotten to .gether and is reported to be moving against the Bospnorus, the Bulgarians and Rouman- ians are preparing to attack Adrianople as soon as winter Is over, and now to cap the climax apparently, internal dis cords have broken out, and it looks as. though the opposition to the government will secure control of the reins of govern ment and oust the admins tration. The latter situation is so serious that the government is preparing to move the seat of government and especially the treasury across, out of Europe and into Asia Minor, where they think it will be more safe. Enver Bey as ac- tual head of the government is fighting to keep control, but il looks as though he is doomed to defeat.
