PECK LEADER OF STAMFORD N0W:
 NO OPPOSITION Warehouse Factions Adher ents Trail With Shrewd
 Political Leader. MODESTLY ANNOUNCES SLATE FOR THE TOWN Picks Men Who He Says He Wants Elected to Public
 Office.
Especial to The Farmer)

Stratford, Aug. 25.-Joy reigns su- day. Judge Charles H. Peck and his followers swept everything last even ing at the annual Republican caucus and nominated and elected all dele gates from his clan without the slight est opposition. The caucus was held at the town hall and was well attend ed. The strongly intrenched machine of Morehouse- -Beardsley faction has been smashed by the shrewd and re- sourceful judge of probate. Frederick s. Beardsley and Harry A. Burnes, both of the Warehouse clan, were elected delegates to attend the congressional convention. They have virtually de- serted their clan and are now ready to abide by Peck's advice. No oppo- sition of any kind developed at the caucus. Attorney Ivan L. Morehouse, who, heads his faction, was not even at the caucus. He said today he was banqueting with some friends in New Haven. When asked why he did not attend said that he had no personal desire to be a delegate at any of the conventions as all the men seeking state offices are personal friends of his and he would not like to go on record as opposing them in any way.
 At the caucus Judge Peck reminded his men of the letter that he sent them few days ago and related the contents of the epistle. He told them of his being elected last spring as their leader by an overwhelming majority. T thanked you for it and I want to thank you again this evening"" said the judge. we are going to sweep the town at the faI election. We have on our delegate ticket to the Congressional convention two men who have opposed us for some time and have received their assurance that they will give me their undivided support in order that, may be returned to the probateship on October g."
 Following the speech making Judge Peck announced some of the candi- dates for the fall election, October 8. He and Walter J. Hanford will run for the general assembly; Dr. Rollin A. Curtiss and William A. Stagg for first selectman and selectman respec- lively; Clifford B. Kearney and George Ash registrars; and Oscar Swanson, assessor.
 Following are the delegates elected last evening to the various conven- tions:

Mohammedan Leader
 Proclaims Open Break With Turk War Party

London. Aug. 25-The grand sher- iff of Mecca, chief magistrate of the holy city, who announced his inde- pendence of Ottoman rule in June and was supported by Arab tribes, captur- ed the Turkish garrisons of Mecca and several other cities, has proclaimed definite rupture between Orthodox Mohammedans anud those represent ed by the Committee of Union and Progress which now is in power in Turkey. In his proclamation as for warded from Cairo by Reuters cor respondent, the gland sheriff de- nounced Enver Pasha, Talaat Bey and Djemal Pasha, Young Turk leaders, staunch supporters of Germany and among the most powerful figures in Turkey. Djemal Rasha is command CT of the Turkish forces in Syria and is reported to have adopted severe measures to crush the revolution.
 The proclamation of the grand sheriff, addressed to ''all our Moslem brothers" follows:
 we were one with the government until the Unionists appeared. Since then ruin has overtaken the state, which now has been drawn into this fatal war. We bore with the Union
 
 ists notwithstanding their departure from the precepts of religion. until it became apparent that Enver Pasha, Djemal Pasha and Talaat Bey abso- lutely ruled Turkey. doing whatever they pleased. On one day they att tackled 21 of the most honorable and enlightened moslems while children, old men and delicate women were be- reaved of their natural protectors and subjected to foul usage, even torture. What stronger proof of their faith lessness than the bombardment of holy places such as Abraham's tomb and the killing of persons praying within a mosque?
 God has opened the way to inde- pendence and freedom for us. Our independence is complete and abso- lute. Our aim is preservation of Is- lam.'

BATTLE SOON
 IN NAVY'S BIG
 WAR MANEUvRE


 Washington, Aug. 25-Naval officers today looked for news that a battle had occurred between the two fleets participating in a war game in the Atlantic and that a number of casual ties had occurred. Anticipating that mythical dead and wounded were be- ing hurried to land from Rear Ad- miral Helms Blue" defending fleet, naval hospitals at New York, Boston, Newport, Philadelphia and Norfolk were advised to make preparations for receiving and treating patients. The location of the theorical battle with Admiral Mayo's Red" attacking fleet would determine which hospital station was to be taxed so severely.
 Navy officers explained today that hypothetical disasters such as the de- struction of storage oil tanks at Mar ragansett yesterday and of supply stores at Sewall Point, Hampton Roads, are desired by the navy de- partment for it's own tactical exer- ciSeS.

C. Q. p. LEADERS
 BUSY FIXING UP
 SLATE FOR FALL
O'Connell and Garlick Like ly to Get Denominations
 for General Assembly.

From what might be gleaned from the gathering of Republicans at headquarters last night after the pri- maries John. M. O'Conne1 senator from the 22nd district and B. Earle Garlick. representative, are two mem bers of the general assembly who possibly will be renominated.
 Possible candidates for senators and representatives in the general as- sembly were discussed. The pros- poets of various aspirants for office was the principal topic of converse ton. There were number of con- ferences between committeeman from various districts and Town Chairman Robinson. Although the latter would give out no information regarding these conferences it is known that each committeeman was pressing the claims of some voter of his district. ]
 At the primary in the Fourth dis trict last night, William A. Chew, member of the paving and sewer commission and Republican commit teeman from that district was en- dorsed for senator from the 21st dis trict. His nomination is practically assured as he will have the support of the delegates from the First and Fifth districts.
 In the 22nd district Alderman Oliver c. Cole has aspirations. Sena- tor. O'Connell wants renomination however and it is said he has the sup port of the delegates in the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts which will give him big majority for the nomination.
 City Attorney Arthur M. Comley has represented the 23rd district in the senate. There was some talk of renominating him last night and there was also talk of giving the nomina- ton to Arthur A. Baker. The latter has aspirations to be an alderman from the Tenth district. It is like ly however that Alderman Kearns will be renonlinated there and the senatorial toga may be offered Mir. Baker to placate him.
 E. Earle Garlick, now a member of Battery F, one of the Yale bat teries with the 10th Militia Field Arr tillery at Tobyhanna, Pa, can have a renomipation if he desires it. MT. Garlick is also assistaqt prosecuting attorney of the city court.
 Attorney Robert c. Mallettee will probably be nominated for represen- tatiye in place of Assistant City Clerk James F. Kelly. Attorney ,Mallette lives in the Fourth district and his nomination would mean two cand1- dates for the assembly from this sec ton of the city but MT. Manette has strong supporters outside of the dis trict where he resides. Between now and Monday night when the town and city convention is to be held the slate will be determined on.
