EXPECT BRUMBAUGH
BOOM TO COLLAPSE
Scranton Politicians Predict
Governor Will Quit Fight .
for Delegates

q SCRANTON. Pa, May 5.-The Tip" is
'ut in political circles in Scranton that the
{nd of the current week will see a COM
.ete collapse OF Governor Brumbaugh's
.hmpaign for control of the delegates to
be National Republican Convention.
1t is said that Senator Penrose con-
IDENTITY expects this outcome. and that this
Expectation constitutes the chief reason
pr his rather puzzllng failure to enter
|ctireY into the contest throughout the
|arlous counties of the State.
It's pointed out that the primary cam
zalga on behalf of the Penrose faction
as developed little. IL anything, in the
#aym public meetings, speech-making, or
swlpaper publicity, and that the cam
HAlgn has been virtually dead, so far as
#nator Penrose's followers are concerned,
=1re the publication of the charges against
9yernor Brumbaugh in connection with
Rs Oliver check
One explanation of the expected col
re Of the Brumbaugh contest Is offered
me failure of some of the Governors
eathy friends to come forward with
5lareal assistance.
William H. Ball, secretary to Governor
=sumoaugh, today in Harrisburg over the
#ephone, characterized the dispatch from
|ranton as ridiculous"
Why we're leaving for Pittsburgh in a
4" minutes" he said. "and will keep our
sAgement there just as we will every
7here else.
Ine whole report is false in all its
sns You may say there will be no

GERMANY WIRELESSED

Note Aerogrammed Fro m
Nauen to Sayville,
Long Island
NEW YORK, Nav 5.

NEW YORK, May 3.
Germany's reply to the American note
began arriving in the New York office of
the United Press at about $50 a. m. to-
day via wireless TO Sayville, L. l.
The reply was in 10 sections. For sew
eral minutes the text of the note streamed
in over the wires without interruption.
Then there were several delays between
sections, probably due to atmospheric
conditions that increased the difficulty Of
wireless transmission from the great Ger
man wireless station at Nauen.
The translation of certain phrases Of
the German communication into the pre-
else meaning in English by the American
Embassy attaches in Berlin was evidently
most difficult The translations in some
instances were very trough" though gem
orally leaving no doubt as to the meaning

war began. that they would be
forced to do.
While our prediction has
largely been verified the COM
bined result is not all that we
could desire. Especially is
this SO in the matter of wait
ing, or table attendance, a line
which not a decade ago was
almost wholly controlled by
men of color. OF course the
fad of having a foreign atmos
phere largely Influenced the
displacing of colored at many
of the hotels. But in many
minor instances colored wait :
ers have been displaced be-
cause OF lack Of promptness
and politeness. two things
very essential in we'll ordered
dining rooms. The uncouth
manners and disrespectful ia
miliarity of quite a number of
them have been in sharp and
harmful contrast to the almost
servile pol'teness of the for
eign servitor. Undoubtedly
many Of them have mistaken
the cry Of equality Of tn: ra, es
for that illogicality of equalit,
of classes.

The class Of white boys are of

sentiment which will compel
these young men to make
good. We are reliably in
