MU|RHEAD HELD RESPONS NSIBLE FOR
 SALVO'S DEATH Coroner Finds Nichols Con tractor Was Criminally
 Careless in Driving. CASE NOW GOES TO
 STAMFORD COURT Testimony of Driver of Gar and Other Witnesses in
 Contradiction.

After a strict investigation, Coroner
 J. J. Phe1an today found that Freder-
 ick Salvo. or SzaIbo, who was hit by
 an automobile May s1 and died June
 5, came to his death as a result of the criminal carelessnesS of William K.
 NEuirhead, the driver of the car, a, con tractor of Niche o1s.
 Muirhead probably will be arraigned in the Stratford town court, charged with manslaughter. The Stratford
 authorities hadn't acted in the case this afternoon, saying that <the case is in the hands of the state police. The weight of the testimony, ac-
 cording to Coroner PhelAn, showed that unusual precautions had been l taken to prevent accident, but despite this, a fatality occurred.
 Salvo died in the Bridgeport hos pital, June 5, of cerebral meningitis, resulting from fracture of the skull. He was employed as 8 workman on l Main street, Stratford, and was re- | moving a temp water pipe from the roadway when the autom obi1e of Muirhead struck him.
 After reviewing the testimony, Cor oner Phe1an's report states:
 ''It is proper in this connection to l say, however, that Driver Muirhead, although conversant with the nature of the work being done by the work men and familiar with the highway, gave evidence showing that he failed | to see Fabrizio (the signal man) on | the trolley track or see him signal him | to stop or hear him shout a warning | or did he see the pipe across the | street until too late to stop the ma chine. He also certified he did not 1 travel on the track next the trench l as shown by other evidence but upon
 the track farthest from 1t, that in
 turning from that track to the left | to avoid, striking the deceased who khe supposed, was walking across the ] highway instead of along it, he lost | control of the brake of the car ir l crossing rail rut and so failed te l stop until the machine, which dragged l the body of the deceased about 10 feet
 ran to a. point about 33 feet beyond the point of collision.
 | 'FWhi1e am convinced of MT. Muir heads innocent intentions in the premises and his ability as a driver l I am firmly of opinion that the life I of the deceased could have beer
 spared but instead was needlessly sacrificed by his heed1essness ano I negligence in failing, with view un- 1 obstru cted, to observe in broad day light, the caution warnings of Traffic Man Fabrizio, or in any timely way to reduce the speed of the machine \ before striking the deceased to death
 ''I therefore find the deceased, upor the evidence, came to his death at the time, place and from cause stated a! the result of the criminal careIessnes of William R. Muirhead of Trumbu1.'
 Muirhead's testimony differed from that of others at the hearings The
 pipe Sa1vo was carrying had been used (Continued on Page 2.)

HUGHES IN CONFERENCE. WITH WlCKERSHAM: PLAN
 FOR MEDITATION DENIED

ger;> former assistant secretary of war under Theodore Roosevelt.
 Mr. Hughes arrived from Washing ton at 7:O5 a. rn., via the Baltimore 6 Ohio Railroad and ferry to West 23rd street and went to the hotel.
 Although the police department had been notified of the Republican candi- dates coming and had sent detectives to meet his train, his arrival here at such an early hour was generally un- expected. He was met at the ferry station by Public Service Commission CT Travis H. Whitney and William R. Wilcox, former postmaster of New York and later members of the public service commission.
 Many of the leaders who are ez- pected to talk with MT. Hughes during. his stay in New York had not return ed from Chicago this morning. MT Hughes did not say how long he in tended to stay here.
 MT. Hughes secretary, Lawrence H. Green, accompanied him from Wash ington and his first caller after he reached the hotel was Robert Fuller. who was his secretary when he was governor of New York.
 One of the questions before MT. Hughes and his friends today was the location of summer headquarters. 'I have nothing to say on politics at this ttne,'' said MT. Hughes, greet | ing newspapermen who met him on the ferryboat which brought him over | the Hudson. This was in response to | a question as to whether he would see
 Col. Roosevelt during his stay here. CT have come here primarily to
 make my plans for the summer" con
 tinued the Presidential candidate. | ''New York, by the way, is where [
 belong and I am glad to get back l here"
 MT. Hughes admitted there were certain Important matters to dis | cuss,' but efforts by. the newspaper
 men to learn at this time what his specific plans were proved futile. Just as MT. Hughes went aboard the l ferryboat the sun came out for the
 first time in nearly a week. Mir Hughes presence on the train that l brought him from Washington was
 unknown to all but very few of his | fellow passengers. When he left the
 aboard the ferry he was recognized by commuters coming to the city from their Jersey homes. They made no demonstration.
 No appointments had been made
 with the, Republican leaders for this 1 forenoon, according to MT. Hughes
 secretary, who added that the length of his stay in New York at this time was uncertain. He said also that it was as yet undecided whether MT. Hughes would receive here or in | Washin gton the committee which Is to formally notify him of his nomination
 MT. Hughes went directly to his hotel and, after ordering copies of all
 the morning newspapers, retired to his rooms.

JUSTICE HUCHES'
 SUCCESSOR TO BE. NOMINATED SOON
President is Considering Candidates For Supreme
 Court.

Washington. June 12.-se1ection of a. successor to Charles B. Hughes on the supreme bench already is being con sidered by President Wilson. Attor- ney General Gregory probably will be called into conference in a, day or two and the appointment may be made within the next two weeks.
 Although the supreme court adjourns today until October, department of justice officials are anxious that a new justice be appointed quickly so that he can give consideration during the summer months to cases now pending.
 It is understood that the President would like to appoint John w. Davis, solicitor general, but may be deterred frora doing so because MT. Davis pre- pared a number of cases now pending for the department of justice.
 Several messages urging the ap- pointment of former President Taft have been received but the President is expected to name a Democrat, since the court has now five Republicans and three Democrats.

SUBMARINE MA
 IN HARBOR HERE
 MYSTERY CRAFT
Looks Like U. S.~Revenue Cutter, and Used to Be,
 But Isn't Now.

Lying at the city dock at the foot of Wall street with a false wireless apparatus, false smokestack and no engines and flying the American flag from her stern, the former revenue cutter, Woodbury, is the object of much nystifcation among long shore men of this harbor. It was lowed to it's present position yesterday from New Yrk. The Woodbury has been purchased by the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. and will be converted into a sub- marine mother ship in which wi1Is be installed the usual special equipn1ent used in tuning up and trying out sub- marines.
 The vessel. which was built in 1868, was formerly in the revenue service travelling about Newfoundland, Nova Sctia and Iceland. It has also work ed about Alaska, the home port being Bangor, Me. The sheathing pm the bow is cut away from contact with ice. It is a staunch live oak vessel of about 500 tons burden, and holds an excellent record for having saved many a vessel from loss in bad storms

 DEMONSTRATIONS IN MEXICO CROW
Carranza Officials Seeem In. different to Further
 Outbreaks.

Washington, June 12.-Increasing excitement and anti-American feeS ing throughout northern Mexico is described in today's despatches to the state department. In many cases, it was said at the department the Carranza authorities appear to be indifferent to what is going on.
 Neither details of the reports nor information as to the points heard from were made public on the ground that the work of the An1eri- can consu1s would be handicapped.
 Officials made no attempt to con- ceaI their anxiety over the situation which apparently is crysta1lizing in the northern Mexican states. Mercedes, Tex; June 12-Reports that thirty horsemen had crossed the Rio Grande south of Donna are declared to be untrue by Captain ,Haines and Lieut.. Glass of troop c. 3rd cavalry, who returned here to@ day after an investigation last night. They found no trace of bandits.
 The report that American soldiers engaged with Mexicans across the river at Progresso on Friday is also reported to be erroneous.
 San Antonio, June 12-T. A. Cole man, owner of the ranch near Lar edo that was raided by bandits yes- terday, teIegraphed to General Fun ston today that later reports to him Indicated that the incursion was of no unusual activity in that district was indicated in military reports re- ceived today.

LEAVES CAPITAL QUIETLY.

Washington, June 12.-Charles D. Hughes, the Republican presidential nominee, went to New York early to- day to begin his campaign. He was to meet Republican leaders returning from Chicago, and hold conferences with many of them, including Frank H. Hitchcock, leader of the Hughes boom in Chicago; Frederick c. Tan ner, chairman Of the New York State Republican committee; Gov Whitman and others. The time of his stay has not been definitely stated but it prob ably will be short. MT. Hughes will return in time for the preparedness parade here on Wednesday.
 The candidate kept his plans for the trip secret and a score of newspaper men who had arranged to accompany him awoke today to find him gonH- They had been told at midnight that the justice was retiring and given to understand that he probably would start for New York about 10 o'clock this morning.
 MT. Hughes is anxious to get into the fight actively, his friends say. He has been out of intimate touch with politics so long, however, that he wants to get information and guild ance from close friends in New York. The new presidential candidate waa

 Suit for $500 brought by G. Sidney Flames and Stephen A. Meeker operat- ing under the trade name of c. s. Eames & Co.,, filed in the city court, discloses that attachment upon a quantity of valuable tungsten ore haa not only been made in favor of the Flames coneern for material furnished, but also by the Frank Miller Lumber Co. and Archibald McNeiI & Sons Co.,

Cunningham and James P Kiernan are in possession of 31 cans ot tungsten, the value of which is not known though that mineral is today almost as valuable as gold.

SCHULTZ LOSES
 ANOTHER TRIED OFFICE EMPLOYE:
Town Clerks Methods of Conducting Office Cost Ser
 vices of Miss Weber.

Surprise spread through the city hall today when it became known that, following dispute between Town Clerk Joseph Schultz and Miss Weber is no longer in the employ of the city.
 Miss Weber is4 the daughter of Rob ert~ Weber, of 73 whitney avenue, many years prominent in Democratic politics, and himself elected town clerk by the Democrats a decade ago.
 This is the second instance of Town Clerk Schu1tz's methods of con
 ducting his office resulting in the city's losing experienced employees. A few weeks ago Miss Mabel McGrath left the city's employ under some what similar circumstances. Miss Weber, who often is called
 upon to work overtime in the city
 hall, when there is press of business
 in recording deeds and the like, re- ported for duty few minutes past 8 I Thursday morning.
 The town clerk reminded Miss | Weber. of%a sign which he had posted following the incident of Miss Mo- | Grath, in which he defined the office | hours as from to 4, with one and one-qh1arter hours for the noon re- | cess. Miss Weber listened patiently, the story goes, for some minutes, | then, when the town clerk continued, i in the presence of the other employees, 1 to speak of her tardiness, she remind 1 ed him that while it was true she | had come in late, it was equally true
 that she often was called upon to | work overtime.
 l This morning when Miss Weber re ported for duty, she found a note in | forming her that her services were nc | longer required. Neither she nor the ! town clerk would discuss the matter | Its of no interest to the public '
 said MT. Schultz. | The work of the office now is many | days behind, the volume of business | being larger than ever before in the l city's history.
