No CANDIDATE
ENDORSED BY
EXECUTIVE COM.

Jacksonville, Aug. %. Besides
electing officials for the next two
years, and selecting three men to
complete the Democratic presiden-
tial elector ticket, the State Demo
cratic executive committee, which
met in session here yesterday for the
first time since election, accom-
plished nothing Of the spectacular,
which was expected of it in political
circles. Just as a motion to adjourn
was made by Wells, of Washington,
Hal W. Adams, of Lafayette, rose to
the floor to announce that he had
resolution to offer, and since it was
generally understood that it called
upon the electors who participated in
the primary to stand by the nomi
nees as reported by the canvassing
board on June 26, many insisted on
the motion offered by Wells. Motions
to adjourn necessarily take prece-
dent over all other motions, and the
chair entertained it, and the meet
ing ended in more or less chaos and
excitement. The Adams resolution
never was read before the meeting
However. after adjournment, Mr..
Adams read his resolution to mem
bers present.
William H. Price, of Jackson
county, Frank E. Harris, of Marion.
and Milton H. Mabry, of Hillsbor-
ough, were elected as presidential
electors to take the places OF I. M.
Dozier. H. L. Bethel and Q. M.
Johnson, who failed to file expense
accounts in accordance with the

qualified.
The names of a number of others,
including Chas. T. Curry, of Mana
tee: ]. G. Hodges, Of Columbia; DR..
w. H. Cox, of fernando, and
Mitchell d. Price, of Dade county,
were proposed, but on the hnal bal
loting the ones named above were
selected.
Thus the Democratic presidential

IMPORTANT POINT
is PASSED UPON
ATTORNEY GENERALS RULING
is BLOW TO EN-
PLOYES.
REvERSES ACCIDENT BOARD
Claims for Medical and Hospital Ser
vice Must Begin Within Date
Of Injury and at No other
Time.

Lansing-One of the most important
rulings affecting employer and en-
ploye was rendered by Attorney-Gen-
eral Fellows Saturday. which in sub
stance will deprive injured workmen
in many cases Of the usual allowance
for three weeks medical and hospital
attention. now paid by the employer
or the insurance company carrying the
risk.
The case was decided by the at
torney-general on request OF the board
of state auditors, which asked for an
opinion in the case of George w.
Farnsworth 'employe of the state tax
commission. Farnsworth was injured
May 10, 1915, and the claim for hospi-
tai and medical services is given as
from September II to October IL,
1915, it appearing that the injury sus-
tanned in May did not result in his be-
ing laid up until September IL. In
fact, no medical treatment was pro-
cured until September IL.
The state industrial accident board
has ruled that in cases where an en-
ploye was injured and the injury did
not result in medical or hospital at
tention at the time of the injury or
accident the period of the usual three
weeks liability claim would begin at
the time the injury showed up or when
medical attention became necessary, if
it was ascertained that such condi-
ton was a direct result of an injury
sustained previous.
The encouragement holds the claim
for any medical or hospital service
must begin at the date of the injury
and at no other time.
