Majority of Convention
Delegates Will Be of
His Persuasion.
BRUMBAUGH RUNS
AHEAD OF TICKET
Ford Second In Philadelphia
with 1928 Votes and Roose-
welt Third with 2,036.

Philadelphia, May lin the Penn
United States Senator Boies Penrose
was victorious in the most determined
effort that has ever been made to over
throw his leadership of the Republican
party. Despite the energetic fight
waged against him by the faction of
the party which chose Governor Brum-
baugh for its leader. Senator Penrose
nominated his candidate for auditor
general of the state, Charles A. Snyder,
by from 10000 to 10000 majority.
A majority Of the seventy-six dele
gates elected TO the National Conven-
ton are Penrose men. and new
State Committee was chosen that will
elect him n member Of the Republican
National Committee 70 succeed Henry
G. WATSON, Of Pittsburg
Incomplete returns indicate that
Governor Bumbaugh. running ahead
Of his ticket. was apparently elected
a delegate at large 10 the National Con-
vention. Il is not yet certain that any
OF his eleven colleagues on the anti
Penrose ticket for delegates at large
were successful.
In the campaign the Penrose element
favored an uninstructed delegation,
while the Brumbaugh faction advocated
the election OF delegates pledged 10
vote for the popular choice of the
voters "a the party's Presidential
candidate.
On the Republican Presidential pref
erential ballot only one name was
printed. that Of Brumbaugh, and there
was much interest in the extent TO
which voters would write on the ballot
the name of the party leader whom
thew favored. II is said that more than
half million stickers were distributed
in Pennsylvania carrying the name OF
Henry Ford. In Philadelphia, in total
OF 1885. Brumbaugh got SO, votes,
Ford 3I23. Roosevelt 2,036 and Hughes
BOT. Some other counties report scat
tering votes for these candidates. but
the only one outside Of Philadelphia
showing a vote for Ford OF any con-
sequence was Lebanon, which gave him
102 votes.
Because Of the great size Of the bal
lots many counties did not tabulate the
scattering Presidential ballots. and the
official count, which will be announces
in about three weeks. will undoubtedly
disclose many votes for various favor
lite sons.
Harmon II. Keppart for State Treas
urer had q walkover for the Republ,-
can nomination. In addition 20 this
and the Snyder victories the Penrose
headquarters also claim successes for
Congressman-at-large Joseph NJ. Nc
Loughlin. Of Philadelphia, and Isador
Sobel. of Erie. Indications are that
Thomas Scrago. Of Greene, and Mahlon
VI. Garland. Of Allegheny, the other
two Congressmen-at- large, were vir-
tually unopposed.

Brumbaugh Hopes
for Reunited Party

Harrisburg. Penn. May H. Governor
Brumbaugh made the following COM
ment on yesterdays primary election:
81 believe In the right OF the major
ity 10 control Il is TO be hoped that
the result of the primary. so far as it
relates 10 the national crisis, will be
the absolute reuniting Of the Repub-
lican protection forces Of the state and
country. The essential purpose of our
effort Is the election in November of a
Republican President and a Republican
Congress.
Party unity is essential TO party
success. To labor for this end was
surely proper The statewide primary
is designated to give voters just this
opportunity. The citizens who yester-
day voted the Republican ballot ex-
pressed their means of accomplishing
this result, and it is gratifying to note
that so many voters agreed with us.
"The results in detail will afford
much food for thought, much data for
wise and patriotic action"

Albany, May 17.-Governor whit
man to-day vetoed the Kelley bill,
which requires the licensing Of owners
Of automobiles in New York City who
operate their own cars. He said he
had been advised by attorney General

stitutional. and he was therefore
obliged 20 disapprove the measure al
though he fully realized the impor-
lance Of remedying conditions in regard
to the operation of automobiles in New

The Governor said that II there we're
any serious differences OF opinion on
the validity OF the bill he would be In
clined to approve it and permit the
question Of its constitutonality 20 be
determined by the courts.
Like the Attorney General he hoIds
that the measure Disseminated against

OLD GUARD PLANS II. A. WISE WOOD
COUP In CHICAGO OUT FOR COLONEL
Defence Champion Says
administration Has Quit
Under Fire."

"To stand with Roosevelt Is TO stand
with the spirit of Washington for Sc
cure and fearless. as well as peace
loving, America" These we're the sem
timents expressed by Henry A. Wise
Wood in a letter 20 Thomas c. Des-
mond, treasurer Of the Roosevelt Nom
Partisan League, in which Mr.. Wood
told why he believed shat Colonel
Roosevelt should be nominated for
President. Mr.. Wood, whose champion
ship of adequate national defence Is
well known, praises the work Of the
league and then goes on to say:
at is not only because the admins
tration has been weak and vacillating
in its foreign policy that we-many of
whom, like myself, supported 1t in its
early days-have turned from II in
utter distrust, but because OF its moral
breakdown at home. Where it was
strong and masterful at the beginning,
dominating Congress and bending that
body TO its will in matters of compare
tive insignifcance. the administration
has now abdicated its leadership in the
hour Of a great national emergency. 1t
has quit under fire.
at is against such background that
there looms now the man whom you
are urging us all regardless OF party,
TO make our President. 1t seems 10
me that we can do nothing less, II we
put country above petty political CON
siderations, patriotism above party or
personal prejudices. IL is plain that
the situation is far too critical to be
intrusted longer TO the faltering hands
which are now fumblng il, or TO still
other, but untried. hands which, how
over useful they may have been IN in
ternal affairs OF comparative unim-
portance. are without known skill and
frmness in dealing with international
questions heavy with the nations fate.
"If we are TO succeed in getting the
nation to swap pilots while struggling
in this torrential era of warfare, which
eventually will engulf US unless we
make ready our strength at once, we
must offer il one that it knows 70 be
strong, a practiced, and a safe naviga-
tor in threatening waters. That Roose-
welt is the only such every man knows,
whether or not he be honest enough
to admit il to himself. and patriotic
enough to acknowledge IL before the
world. To apply the Roosevelt test to
an American now is TO determine which
end Of him is uppermost, his little ma
ture or his big-his personal or party
prejudices. or his patriotism. To stand
with Roosevelt is TO stand with the
spirit of Washington for secure and
fearless, as well as a peace loving,
America. Let every man now declare
himself"

EAST SIDE FEUD ENDS
BADLY FOR HUSBANDS
Wives Start Battle-One Man
Held. Other in Hospital.

The Montagues and Capulets had
nothing on the Belinos and Mancusos,
who live in East Ninety-seventh Street.
The children didn't like each other;
and because Of that the wives didn't
like each other. To-day, Belino has a
bullet in his right lung, and Mancuso
cut on his head.
Monday night Mrs. Belino came home
with imprints of human teeth on
her wrist. She said she had been bit
ten by Mrs. Mancuso. Yesterday
morning the two women quarrelled
again, later telling their husbands
about it. The less deadly Of the spe-
cies met in mortal combat on the side
walk. to which Belino speedily fell at
the first revolver shot. but not with
out shifting Mancuso on the head with
a club. The latter was held without
bail for examination tomorrow. Be
limo was taken to Reception Hospital

TALK FAIRBANKS
AS HUGHES MATE
Justices Supporters Want
EX-Vice-PreSident for
Second Place.

Encouraged By the results Of the
Vermont primaries and Of the reports
of the Hughes sentiment throughout
the country. supporters Of the justice
here yesterday began talking Of
Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, as
q running mate for Mr.. Hughes.
Doubt as to whether Mr.. Fairbanks
would accept second place on the tick
ct, a place he once had, was answered
by the statement that the nomination
Of the former Vice-President would
mean the election Of two Republican
Senators in Indiana, result that Is
of vital Importance 70 the Republicans
this year Because Of this. it was be-
lieved that Mr.. Fairbanks could be in
duced 10 run with Justice Hughes If
the latter were nominated.
Reports from Indiana say that the
delegates TO the Chicago convention
will stick 10 Mr.. Fairbanks until the
last ballot, and that it is case of
the Presidential nomination or nothing
with him. The Hughes supporters
here, however, believe that the former
Vice-President can be induced to &C
cept second place.
Figures on Root and Hughes.
Rival figures as to the strength Of
Justice Hughes and ex-senator Root
among the delegates from this state to
the Chicago convention which became
available yesterday show a wide dis
crepancy. The supporters OF Justice
Hughes declared that he had no less
than ffty-two of the delegates lined
I'D behind his candidacy, and that
Barnes or any one else couldn't take
them away. The Hughes men gave
only twenty Of the delegates 10 Root,
while fifteen Of the delegates were
placed in the doubtful class, half a
dozen or so being conceded to Colonel
Roosevelt.
The supporters Of Mr.. Root, however.
presented a much different set of fig
ures, the only semblance of agreement
between the two being that Mr.. Roose-
Welt will at least have few Of the
delegates. The expert accountants IN
the Root camp have II figured out that
the former Senator has not less than
FORTY of New York's eighty-seven dele
gates. with seven in the doubtful class,
among the latter being some Roosevelt
men.
This would leave forty delegates for
Justice Hughes. so that the Root tg-
ures make the contest for New York
delegates a neck-and-neck affair be
tween the Justice and the Senator.
Both Camps Still Busy.
There is no let-up in the work OF
both camps, however, 10 corral dele
gates. and the fight has developed many
Interesting sidelights. For instance
there are at least two delegates VINO
have actually signed up with the Koo'
men. but who have gone privately TO
the Hughes men with the information
that they are going to vote for the
nomination Of the justice. On the
other hand. there are some delegates
who proclaim they are for hughes
who have privately asked TO be count
cd among the Root supporters.
No one will be able TO tell, however,
inst how the delegates will vote until
they caucus. and then there. Will De
number of surprises for both sides. IL
is not improbable that Mr.. Root VIII
have a majority on the first ballot
after that Justice Hughes Will get
majority of the delegates.

Capital FOreSees Effort to
Force First Day
Nomination.
LTrom III. rrihure Bureau. ]


Washington, May IA proposal to
jam through the Republican nomina-
ton at Chicago on the first day. in
an effort to forestall the crystalliza-
tion of sentiment for Hughes or Roose-
welt, is declared 20 be under serious
consideration by "old guord' leaders.
Reports reaching politicians here a-e
that at a recent conference in New
York. called by Chairman Hilles OF the
Republican National Committee and
attended by Barnes, Senator Penrose'
John Dwight. Representing the Root
boomers, Joe Healing, of Indiana. rep
resentinC Fairbanks, and represent
tives of the Weeks and Burton organ
izations. this plan was discussed.
The scheme is said TO be due TO the
fear that the growing strength q
Hughes and Roosevelt will get beyond
control. The old line leaders have
been aware for some time that their
choice Of Hughes 10 kill OF Roosevelt
had proved entirely too effective IN
creating sentiment for the justice
and not effective enough so far as
T. r. was concerned.
To carry out the plan II will be
necessary 10 force the permanent or
CanlHaUOn early on lht optH4ilC uaS'
while the adoption OF the platform
would be postponed until after the
nomination. The nominating speeches
would be made early in the evening
and the balloting would begin not later
than midnight.
Just who would be the beneficiary
of such a plan is not stated, but OBJ
viously the "old guard would pick a
man it could trust in the White House,
and not merely anybody to beat
Wilson"
Progressive Republican leaders heard
with amazement to-day Of this scheme.
They asserted that such proceeding
would tarnish the nomination and send
the nominee TO the country under a
cloud of trickery and sharp practice
that would dscredit the party.

This was the view expressed by former
Senator W. Murray Crane. one OF the
delegates st-large from Massachusetts,
yesterday. He came here on business
trim. although IL is not unlikely that
the former Senator will vary the mon
otony of business with some quiet po-
litcal conferences.

Robert Bacon Among Visitors,
While Roosevelt Prepares TO
Start for Michigan.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt did not
talk politics for publication on his
weekly visit 20 New York yesterday,
though he saw many OF his followers
and received reports Of progress from
various sections OF the country. To-
day he leaves for Detroit, where to-

he will tell Ford's friends and neigh
bors what he thinks OF Ford's peace
policy.

ire Of the pacifst movement is expect

ness and peace at any price clear
Friends Of preparedness have insisted
that the reason the Ford candidacy
made the progress il aid In the Middle
West was because the doctrine OF pre-
paredness had not been properly pre-
sented 10 the voters. Hence the de
cision of Mr.. Roosevelt TO speak IN
Detroit. which has been clamoring for
his presence since carly in the canvass.
Ford's Friends Seek T. Il.
An odd feature Of the demand for
Roosevelt in Detroit is that It comes
very largely from friends OF Ford VINO,
while they admire his business ability
and are glad Of his success, resent nav
ing Detroit know. is the home OF peace
AZ snv prjce. They insist that this Is
not the fact and that the tag thus
placcd on Detroit tends 10 lnJure the
city's standing.
Colonel Roosevelt had nothing to say

day for the very good reason that up
10 the hour of his departure little more
than half of the vote was m, with rem
