LEWIS IN REFUSAL
TO Be A DELEGATE
Senator Declines to Accept Place on
Sullivan or Harrison Con.
vention States.

Chicago, Feb 5.-Senator James
Hamilton Lewis will not be candi-
date on any slate for delegate at large
to the democratic national convention,
nor has he desire to be doomed for
vice president. This was announced
yesterday in a letter made public at
Washington and addressed to United
States Marshal John NJ. Rapp of the
eastern Illinois district. The senator
wants Vice President Marshall re-
nominated.
Mr.. Lewis had declined to accept
the endorsement of the democratic
state committee for delegate at large,
but was expected TO run on the Har-
rison-D Dunno slate in opposition to the
Sullivan candidates named by the
state committee. The Harrison Dunno
slate is to be whipped into shape at
a meeting this afternoon.
A caustic reply to Senator Lewis
letter refusing the state committees
endorsement for delegate at large was
mailed to him last night by Arthur W.
Charles, the chairman. The letter
said in part:
Permit me to say am sorry you
have taken such action in this matter.
To me 1t seems the worst thing that
could happen to a harmony move
ment"
Mr. Charles added the state commit
tee had not exceeded its authority and
if it could have made a slate to in
clude all the indictments and to in
sure to each of them absolute control
Of the delegation, there would not
have been any question as to author
| ity to endorse or recommend"
J Mr.. Charles touched on Senator
Lewis insistence that former Mayor
Harrison should be supported for
delegate at large and that Governor
Dunno should be made chairman Of
the Illinois delegation.
"You, speaking as an elective off,
GER" continued the letter, deny to
the state committee the right to sug-
gest the names of candidates for pure
ly party position, and at the same time
appropriate to yourself the right to
make such suggestions as you do by
suggesting the names of Roger c. Sui
livan, Carter Harrison and Governor
Dunno"
Following the agreement Of repub-
lican leaders ON slate of Sherman
delegates at large, progress was made
Yesterday toward an ,apportionment
of district delegates in Cook county
between the Deneen and Thompson
factions.
The republican state committee Is
scheduled to endorse the Sherman
slate at the Congress hotel. Peoria
probably will be selected as the state
convention city. .,--

the reasons which would influence
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg in
deciding to met the demands Of the
United States and adds:
Ask What America Means.
"The chancellor will have to ask
what America means by again sud-
denly raising the question of the gen.
eral principle involved in the Lusi-
tania affairs and demanding that we
adopt a position completely at vari-
ance with the one we took, clearly and
without ambiguity, six months ago. He
will have to decide whether this action
by America does not reflect intentions
which could not be removed by con-
cessions, however great, on our part,
but could be met only by firm resolu-
ton.
HE will have to consider whether
it would not make on our allies, our
enemies and neutrals an impression of
weakness by no means justified by our
successes and military position to
abandon our former standpoint and
make confession of having acted con-
trary to international lava confess
sion which would be used for all time
to prove the truth of the ISLANDERS
which have been heaped upon us.
WOuId Hands Be B0uHd,
"The chancellor will have to exam
inc the question whether, if We should
comply with the new American de-
mands we would not thereby have ou1
hands bound in the struggle for exist
ence by obtaining a means of warfare
which, resting on technical superior
| ity, might contribute substantially to
forcing our enemies to yield"
In conclusion the kreuz Zeitung
says:
There cannot be the slightest doubt
that the government and people clear
| ly recognize the limits to our conces-
sions to America, which are imposed
by military necessities and the dignity
of the German empire. Our resolution
that under no circumstances shall
these limits be overstepIed would not
be weakened even if the course OF
events in the last Is months has not
brought one political and military sue
cess after another and bettered Ger
many's position in the struggle against
overwhelming Odds

WHEAT REFLECTS
RISING TENDENCY
Advanced Quotations From Liverpool
and Light Receipts Being Bull
ish Movement.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Wheat prices to-
day reflected an upward tendency
shown by quotations at Liverpool. The
offerings here were light and the mar
ket responded quickly to any good
buying Scantiness of receipts north
west, especially at Winnipeg, seemed
TO give little encouragement to the
bulls. The opening. which varied from
unchanged to a c higher, with May at
1.34 to 1.34i4 and July at 1.2512 to q h,
was followed by moderate setback,
but then the market rose well above
last nights level.
Advices that Argentine wheat was
being offered in Europe at a lower
price than North America led to sub
seQuent downturn, The close was
weak, IS to 11sc net lower, with May
1925 and July 1247s.
Liberal receipts weakened corn. The
strength of wheat, however, acted lat
er as an offset to some extent. After
opening to 2s@A12c lower, prices
sagged trifie more and then made a
slight rally.
Predictions later of big arrivals
Monday brought about increased
heaviness. The close was weak at *
to IA @1Bc net decline.
Oats were governed chiefly by the
changes in the corn market. For the
most part trade was Of local char
acter.
The provision market was firm ow-
ing to an advance in hog quotations
The volume of business, though, was
small.
