GREEK SITUATION
GROWING SERIOUS

London, Sept. 25.-The situa-
ton in Greece is most serious, a
Reuter- dispatch in Athens says.
Former Premier Nenizclos. &C
companied by Rear Admiral Com
douriotis, commander-in-cilicf OF
the Greek navy, left Athens today
for Crete, when they expect to go
to Saloniki.
The revolutionary movement
now in progress in Greece had its
inception at Saloniki, where there
was set up the national defense
committee, which, according to
last reports, was exercising the
functions of government in part
of Greek Macedonia. 1t has
been reported that NJ. enizelos,
leader OF the Greek party (Which
favors intervention in the war on
the side of the Allie, intended to
go to Saloniki to put himself at
the head OF temporary revolu-
tlonary government. On being
asked last week about this report
he said he must wait brief time
and see what the government
proposed to do, before deciding
on the best -course to adopt in the
event that Greece did not enter
the war. He said that if King
Constantine would not listen to
the voice of the people they must
consider what measures should
be ia Ken by them.

Macon, Ga, September 20
Moving with clocklike precision,
never recording a naye vote until
the convention had proceeded
we'll into the regular order OF
business, the State Democratic
Convention yesterday unanl-
mously declared Hugh M. Dor
scy, OF Atlanta, the nominee OF
the Democratic party; endorsed
the national administration; sell
ected Roscoe Luke, Walter F..
George and w. Frank Jenkins
for the three new places on the
Court Of Appeals bench; and sell
ccted the statehouse officers by
popular vote in the primary Of
September II.
Smith Makes Keynote" Speech
7. R. Smith, of Atlanta, was
elected temporary chairman, and
delivered the keynote" speech,
in which he paid a glowing trlb-
ute to the Wilson administration.
The permanent chairman is J..
I. Flint. Hiram Gardner, of Eat
onton, was elected secretary; j..
D. Mccartney, Rome, assistant
81 etary, and J. w. L. Brown,
of rtow county, was made
chairh of the platform COM
nittee.
An overwhelming majority Of
the Dorsey faction facilitated the
business OF the convention and
prevented what would have been
if votes had been distributed in
a Slightly different Way-a long
tedious session. The Court Of
Appeals race was the only one
in which any real "politicking"
was done, and in that race the
Dorsey slate, as made out at noon
yesterday, was carried through.
Harris Name Withdrawn
Dorsey's name was placed be-
fore the convention by Harry
Hodgson, of Athens, a lifelong
friend and collegemate of the
governor-elect. John t. Boifeuil-
let, heading the Sixth congress
ional district delegation, and rep
resenting the Harris delegates in
the convention, was on his feet as
soon as the nomination was put,
and in a speech lauding Gov. Har-
ris for the accomplishments of his
administration, he conceded the
defeat of his candidate and moved
to make the election OF Mr.. Dor
sey unanimous. Mr.. Boifeuillet's
suggestion was met with a thun-
der of applause and an ovation
followed.

the train, and Markstone was the
brakeman. In describing the occur

George ran so fast that when New

stopped for water President Lincoln
got out of the car and, walking up the
platform to where Feeney was stand
