MURPHY WON'TG0
TO SHADOW LAWN
Tammany Chiefs to Ignore
New York Day; Only Rank
and File to Appear

All efforts TO bring Tammany Hall
TO the realization that this is New
York Day at Shadow Lawn, and that
every deserving Democrat" is expect
ed to visit the summer capital, have
met with but Indifferent results. 1t
was officially announced at Tammany
Hall yesterday that Charles F. Muir
ply might find it possible to join
tho pilgrims who will go to President
Wilson's meeting this afternoon. Pri-
vately, however, it was admitted that
he would not go and that numerous
other Tammany leaders would not, al
though delegation OF the rank and file
of the organization will be on one of
the special trains.
Casual discussion Of the subject
among Tammany men disclosed the
fact that the slogan, "He kept US out
of the war" has been forgotten, and
that the belief that "he kept us out
Of the postoffice" still rankles in the
minds of those who otherwise might
be working for the President. In that
second phrase is to be found the secret
of Tammany's lukewarm position In
the present campaign.
Four Trains for Pilgrims
Under final plans announced yester-
day. four special trains will be run
from New York TO West End, whence
the visitors will march to Shadow
Lawn. John B. Voorhs, Grand Sachem
of Tammany Hall, who was eighty-six
years old few days ago, will lead
the marchers.

Must Help Business

"Do not forget this: That in these
nations abroad enterprise is not under
suspicion, business men are not regard
ed as suspicious characters. Every
effort is made to STIMULATE honest en-
terprise, every door is opened Tor any
successful achievement, and the power
of the nation is behind industry, en-
couraging and stimulating it, suggest
ing economies. suggesting the removal
of waste and of friction; and 1t IS re-

duties of the Administration 10 help

when we give American enterprise a
good drive ahead, so long as 1t is non
est.
"And then, it is said, after scoffing
al the suggestion that is made with re-
spect TO the competition Of an enerSized

thing. then il is said, We'll we have

find one of the marvels of recent legis-

ACCEPT MEDIATION
ACTION OF EMPLOYEES AVERTS
A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SEEMS ASSURED.
FEDERAL BoARDIOB EARBlTER
Acceptance by Workers Representa-,
tlves Comes After They Had
FIatly Refused to Yield to
Arbitration Demand.

New York, Aug. 9.-Representa
dves of the railroad employees an
nounced that they would accept the
offer of the United States board Of
mediation and Cancellation to submit
their demands to mediation, provided
action is Immediately taken.
Acceptance of mediation by the en-
ployes came as a big surprise. 1t had
been officially stated by big brother
hood Officers that they would dis
cuss the differences with the railroad
managers, but that a third party was
unnecessary
Representative Of the railways,
confronted with an overwhelming vote
Of 100000 employees in favor of a
strike, today proposed mediation by
the federal board of mediation and
Cancellation, when they met with rep
resentatives of the four employees
brotherhoOds.
The reply Of the railroads was de-
livered by Elisha G. Lee Of the Penn
sylvania. In behalf of the employees,
A. B. Garretson, head of the conduc-
tors brotherhood declined to accept
mediation, declaring the employees had
found arbitration unsatisfactory IN
previous instances, and furthermore,
that the two sides were in a position
to confer directly without and inter
mediary.
It Is now generally believed here
that all possibility of strike OF the
train men has been averted.
Lee responded that, regardless OF
the attitude taken by the employees,
the representative of the railways
would attempt to enlist the services
of the federal mediation board.

BRANDE|S AND LANE
ON MEXICAN BOARD
NAMED BY WILSON AS TWO OF
THREE AMERICANS TO DIS
cUSS BORDER AFFAIRS.
TRANSLATION CAUSED DELAY
Washington Officials Unable for q
Time to Understand Exactly What
Carranza Note to the United
States Meant.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Secretary
Lane of the interior department and
Associate Justice Brandais of the SUI
preIne court have been selected as two
of the three American members of the
joint commission which will undertake
settlement of Mexican border diff
cUltieS.
The name of the third member will
be made public later.
Delay in communicating the commits.
sion plan was due to conflicting trans
latiOns Of that portion of Gen. Car,
ranaZ's last note dealing with the sug.
gestion to give a broader scope to the
commission.
Withdrawal Of American troops from
Mexico, negotiation Of a protocol Gov
ering future border operations and in.
vestigation Of the interests behind the
border raids first were outlined by
Carranza for discussion by the COM
misiOners and when the United States
suggested a wider latitude, Carranza
indicated that he desired the three
specific questions named taken up
preferably"
Whether he meant to close the door
on wider inquiries into relations be
tween the two countries and means Of
restoring economic and financial order
in Mexico was not certain.
Eligco Arredondo, Carranza's ambas-
gador. assured Acting Secretary Polk
that the language meant merely that
the commission should first endeavor
to formulate recommendations in the
specific points before proceeding to
other matters.
He said the Mexican government in
tended 10 comply with the suggestions
Of the WASHINGTON government COM
pletely. except it sought to indicate
what subjects it thought should have
priority.
The state department never has dis
closed specifically its reasons for seek
ing to broaden the scope of the COM
mission.
II is understood, however, that Pres
ident Wilson and his advisers are
hopeful that plan may be evolved
whereby aid can be given construc-

financial problems which Gen. Car
