Washington, D. c., Feb. 14.--Presi.
dent Wilson today formally gave his

of Ohio, the president said he was uIl-
willing to enter a contest for the NOM
ination but was ready to permit the
use Of his name In the coming prim-
ary in order that the democrats of
Ohio might make known their prefer
ence.

order to comply with the Ohio prim-
ary law which requires candidates
for delegates to the party conventions
to make known their first and second
choices before February rs, and re-
quires that the candidates for dele
gates have the consent of their choices
to make use of their names.
The president was formally notified
Of the requirements of the law last
week.

President Wilson wrote to Secre-
tary of State Hildebrandt Of Ohio as
follows:
while I am entirely unwilling to
enter into any contest for the presiden-
tial nomination OF the democratic
party, I am willing to permit the use
Of my name that the democrats OF
Ohio may make known their prefer
ence in regard to that nomination.
In ORDER therefore, to satisfy the
technical requirements Of the statutes
of the state of Ohio, hereby consent
to the use of my name as a candidate
for the presidency by any candidate
who seeks to be elected a delegate to
the national convention which Is to as
semble in June next
This was the first time the president
has consented formally to have his
name used in connection with the NOM
nation. His name has been placed on
several ballots in several states, how
ever, through the activities Of friends.
The president takes the position
that the voters will have to determine
whether he will make the race for the
presidency in 1915 as the democratic
candidate. In letter to A. Mitchell
Palmer, then representative from
Pennsylvania. In his inaugauration,r Mr..
Wilson made It plain he would only be
candidate again If the democrattc,

inee of his party and have made their
plans accordingly. ,

MANY MAY DIE
FOR MURDER OF
POULTRY DEALER
NEW YORK OFFICIALS GETTING
EVIDENCE ON THOSE BE-
HIND "GUNMEN."

New York, Feb. IA "A grand Jury
began today to take evidence concern
ing the murder of Barnet Baf, the
poultry dealer who was killed by a
band OF gunner in November, 1914. un
der circumstances which have been
likened In some respects to the murder
of Herman Rosenthal for the instiga
tioh of which Charles Becker was
executed. There has been no hint
however. that the police are In any
way involved in the Baff case.
It IL charged that Baff was slain ~
the result Of rivalry in business, that 9
fund Of $4,000 was collected from about
200 poultry merchants under the pre-
tense that 1t was to be used in legal
fight against Baff and that this fund
was used by a murder steering com
mittee" of twelve men to employ
agents who employed the gunner who
shot Baff to death.
District Attorney Swami believes he
has enough evidence to send to the
electric chair four men In addition to
some of the gunmen who actually did
the murder. These men are said to
have had the distribution of the mur.
der fund. The district attorney said
that II It Is proved that the twelve
members of the steering committee
knew all the steps taken In the murder
conspiracy. each of them would be in
the same legal position as was Becker
In the Rosenthal case.
Many of the poultry dealers who as
sert that they contributed innocently
to the fund used to finance Baff's mur-
der have voluntarily given information
to the district attorney. Mr.. Swami to-
day issued an appeal to the other mer-
chants who contributed to the fund to
give him the names of the members
of the murder committee.
Much OF the evidence thus far OBJ.
tanned by the district attorney was
given by Frank Ferrara, who says he
was the chauffeur of the automobile in
which the gunmen went to kill Ban
and in which they escaped after the
crime.

oning. 4t
: Empty poison bottles and wrappers

Of the soup served at the banquet. in
dicate that the alleged poisoner made

issued for 100 more guests. Two hun
dred and ninety-six in all were pres
ent. That thinned the poison down to
/ 2-1O grains of the mineral used for

ncers attribute the escape from seri-
GUS results Of those taken i'll at the
