Hearst Insists on
Voice i'm Naming
Democratic Ticket
Serves Notice His Claims
Must Be Considered in
State and Nation

The friends of William Randolph
Hearst served verbal notice yesterday
on various members of the Democratic
State Committee, which meets to-day in
the Hotel Knickerbocker to issue call
for an unofficial state convention, that
Hearst's claims on the Democratic or
ganization of the state and nation must
be considered when the leaders get
down to the business of choosing a
candidate for Governor.
The upstate committeeman received
the information with dismay, and then
got angry about it. Doubtless the mat
ter will come up for informal discus
sion before the meeting to-day at noon.
The meeting of the committee is not to
consider candidates, but rather to call
state convention and transact minor
business, like filling vacancies in the
state committee. The steering commit
tee tee of the Syracuse conference, consist
ing of T.. Harvey Ferris, of Utica;
Mayor John Fitsgibbon of Oswero,
William H. Kelley, of Syracuse; Will
lam H. Manning, of Saratoga; Charles
D. Norris, of Watertown; David r. Lee.
of Norwich, and Joseph j. Murphy. Of
Troy, are all supposed to be anti
Hearst.
Upstate Man Wanted
They signed the call for the Syracuse
conference, which from the beginning
was regarded as anti-Hearst. They are
on record as preferring an upstate man
for Governor. The developments of the
last three months confirmed the steer
ing committee in it's original Judgment
that Hearst was utterly unavailable as
q candidate this year. Their surprise,
when they learned that Hearst has not
taken himself out of the race for the
governorship, but that, OH the other
hand, he is disposed to stay in the race
until he editorially takes himself out.
One of the steering committee said to q
Tribune reporter last night:
"There Is not ghost of a chance of
electing Hearst Governor il he should
be nominated. He was q possibility
until after the Syracuse conference. but
latterly it has become more and more
apparent that he is impossible. If we
should run him the Democratic party
Nor can he be nominated All that he
can do is to force himself upon the at
tention of the state convention, and
then in July, while perhaps he absents
himself, he will permit his agents to
run him in the primaries.
Three thousand names on petitions
will put him in the race. If he becomes
the Democratic candidate his petition
would have to be circulated in everv
county OF the state. If Hearst becomes
the Democratic candidate for Governor
it will put the Wilson Administrator
to the test"
May Use Hylan
II Hearst ferces his own nomination
it will be by using Mayor Hylan as a
club. There seems to be some sort Of
an understanding between Charles r.
Murphy and Mayor Hylan concerning
Hearst for Governor. Mr.. Murphv ;s

King George Is Learning
To Throw a Baseball
To Open July 4 Game

LONDON, June 26.-King George is
learning to throw baseball in prepa-
ration for his appearance at the game
between American teams on july
Fourth, when he will pitch out the
first ball.
At the request Of the King, Arlie
Latham, formef big league player,
who will umpire the Fourth of july
game, sent the King regulation base
ball few days ago. The next day
Latham called at the palace and gave
the King brief lesson as to how the
baseball should be handled. The proper
form III pitching was rather hard for
the King to get, as he is used to
different type of throw, as in cricket,
but the royal student finally began to
get something approaching the right
swing. Since then the King has been
practising in his spare moments on
blank wall in the garden.

setts. But Senator Weeks is also an
anti. And the suffrage Senator's are
refusing to pair.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, sutfragst, to-day broke his pair
with Senator Fletcher, of Florida. an
anti" who is out of town. 1t is not
believed that Senator Fletcher will re-
turn in time for the vote, although the
notice of the refusal of Senator
Gallinger to stay paired is said to have
hcen given him in plenty of time for
considered it urgent Senator Fletcher
is. one Of the Southern Senator's on
whom 1T is understood the President
has been bringing his influence to bear
to aid the suffrage cause. His remain
ing away will be most decided helm to
suffrage.
The only pair recorded is that of
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, and
Senator Wiley, of Missouri, both for
suffrage, with Senator Salisbury, of
Delaware, against. An amendment to
the Constitution requiring a two-thirds
vote, the pairing is necessarily two to
one.
Anti leaders claim, however. that
they have thirty-four votes solidlv and
surely lined up against the amendment.
Thirty-three, being one more than a
third Of the full Senate, would be suffi-
cient to defeat it.
Both sides decline to go into details
as to just what the lineup is, but so
far as is known no Senator has made
any change in his position since few
weeks ago. when vote to take up the
resolution fell just one vote short Of
the two-thirds majority. On that oc-
casion Senator Vardaman, of Missis-
sippi, voted against taking the amend
ment resolution up. He said later that
he probably would vote for the amend
ment." Suffrage leaders said tonight
that he was writing speech in favor
of the amendment and intended to vote
for it.
1t is now declared positively that
Senator Sutherland, about whose posi-
tion there has been much doubt, will
vote for the amendment. On the other
hand, the suffrage leaders hopes for
the vote of Senator Hitchcock, of Ne
braska, have been dashed. Mr.. Hitch
cock said tonight that, while he ia
vored woman suffrage, he thought it
should be granted by states and that
he would not vote for the amendment.
This position also is taken by Senator
Borah, Of Idaho, the only Senator from
a suffrage state. besides Senator Wads-
worth, Of New York, who will vote
against tho amendment.

LONDON, June 26.-The King and
Queen paid surprise visit to the
Eagle Hut yesterday. The other cven-
ing during dinner at the palace the
King told Lady Acheson he wanted
to see Americans at homo IN the hut
and would like to come without Ger
emony and catch the men as they look
every day.
Nobody at the hut knew anything
about the visit until II o'clock IN the
morning, when telephone message
was received by General Secretary F.
W. Murftfeldt that the King and Queen
would like to come this afternoon. The
message was accompanied by re-
quest that nobody at the hut be told
of the visit.
AT o'clock two carriages arrived
at the new Aldwych entrance, outside
which American soldiers and sailors
were lounging about and playing
catch in the usual fashion. The King
and Queen, accompanied by one
equerry and lady in waiting, got out
and were received by Y. NJ. c. A. of
fcials at the entrance, while q crowd
gathered outside. Inside the hut was
crowd Of men around 8 piano shout
ing ragtime, while in other parts Of
the central halls several hundreds of
soldiers and sailors of the Allied ma

smoking.
Guests Didn't Bother Men
1t was just tea time. and amid the
clatter of dishes many men failed to
realize at once what was happening
The King and Queen wended their way
among the tables. saying few words
them. The King and Queen wanted
to see everything. They went through
a room where piano was located,
through quiet billiard and dining rooms
and then through the dormitories and
even into the kitchen. An old English
cook, who knew nothing about the
visit, nearly fell fat when her SOW
ereign and Queen entered.
For few moments there seemed to
be some danger from Mysteries, but the
crisis passed with a few tears from
emotion. The King was particularly
interested in the kitchen. He had some
pancakes, which he said were excellent,
and watched the opening of several
tins of pork and beans. When offered
some, however, he declined.
Mr.. Murtfeldt, who was piloting the
royalties around, then showed them the
dormitories, and the King had the ex-
cellence of the beds demonstrated to
him. but remarked that he personally
would like higher pillow. He laughed
at the Eagle hut, for if he wanted to
keep his clothes it was wise plan to
put them under the pillow nights.
The King had another good laugh
when told that the men to be sure of

To Enlist Holders
Of Liberty Bonds
Campaign VIII Be Made to
Get Each One t. Buy
a Stamp a Week

Campaigners less enthusiastic and
optimistic than those waging the drive
to enlist ali army of 2,00O,0O0 regular
war savers in New York City by to-
morrow night might feel awed and dis
heartened to-day by the colossal task
confronting them.
After two days, with pledges pour
ing in from hundreds of sources, a
slackening was encountered yesterday.
Scarcely 100000 pledges were obtained
in the whole city in twenty-four hours.
The total, which was augmented SO
rapidly by the call for saving pledge
for each American soldier in Frances
increased but slightly after that pre-
liminary objective was attained. The
present total number OF pledges is H.
100000.
An appeal will be made to-day and
tomorrow to all of the 1,393,94o per-
sons in the city who purchased Liberty
bonds of the last issue to ennst as reg
ulars in the army for finacial assist
ance of the nation.
Frederick Allen, Director of War Saw
ings here, yesterday suggested that all
persons paying 81 weekly instruments
on bonds should purchase q thrift
stamp with each payment
While the campaigners might fail to
do that for which they set out they
have accomplished something for which
they did not strive. AS result of their
appeal for persons to sign the saving
pledge they have been selling stamps
in record-breaking numbers. Increases
in sales of approximately $4,000 daily
have been reported since Friday. On
June 21, the first day of the drive,
stamps amounting to S112,86S were
sold. The next days stamp returns
were S131,273. Increasing proportion
stamps were sold yesterday. The
grand total for the campaign is $685.
592.
Children Have Million Pledges
DR.. William j. O'Shea, Associate Su-
perintendent of Schools, announced
yesterday that by tonight almost
100000 signed pledges will have been
obtained by pupils. Returns on tbs
amounts pledged will not be available
until September owing to the closing
of the schools for the summer.
Far Rockaway yesterday swept be
yond its quota of membership in the
Limit Club, the first city of the state
to DO so. More than ESQ members were
pledged. The quota was $50.
Between two thousand and three
thousand life insurance agents have
been modified for campaigning pur-
poses during the final two days of the
drive. These agents will comb the large
office buildings in lower Manhattan.
A telegram from General Peyton c.
March, chief of staff to Chairman AL
len, was made public yesterday. 1t
follows:
your telegram announcing that the
New York War Savings Committee has
pledged 100000 people in New York
City to buy war savings stamps, one
for each soldier now in France, is the
real thing. Success to you and them"

N. Y. Senator's About

George A. Glynn. Republican state
chairman, went to Washington last
night to ask Senators Wadsworth and
Calder to assist in unscrambling the
palitical eggs so deftly broken las,

Right there is where the eggs were

will not stand for two big Republican
gatherings, fearing trouble. They in

be but one meeting.
Pressure is being exerted from all
sides to compel the Whitman men and
ihe two Senator's to get together on
the. state convention question. Last
night it looked as if there would be
only one big gathering-a joint affair,
merging the state convention with the
Wadsworth- Calder assembly. If Chair
man Glynn and the state committee
choose another date for the state con-
yention the friends of Senators Wads-

figured out the situation last night.

His Remarks Concerning
Barnes Bring Attacks From
Republican Leaders
Roosevelt Is Informed
w. w. Cocks and William
Grant Brown Quick to
Make Replies

Whether Attorney General Lewis's
foot slipped when he said, 81 think
some Governors OF this state might
have done we'll if they had listened to
the advice of Mr.. Barnes on questions
of government" there was evidence
yesterday Of an inclination to jump on
him. w. ". Cocks, campaign manager
for Governor Whitman, said Mr.. Lewis
had made Barnes the issue Of the cam
paign, and prepared to fight it out
along that line if it took all summer.
William Grant Brown. an attorney, de-
scribed the statement as "extraordi-
nary" and telegraphed to Colonel
Roosevelt about it.
Ex Representative W. w. Cocks, CAM
paign manager for Governor Whitman,
by Attorney General Lewis to reporters
on Tuesday as warrant for shooting a
verbal broadside at him. Mr.. Lewis's
statement was this: II think some Gov
ernors of this state might have done
we'll II they had listened to the advice
OF Mr.. Barnes on questions of govern
ment."
Il regard this as the most extraordi-
nary political statement / have read in
years." said Mr.. Cocks. att is beyond
belief that at time like this, when the
whole civilized world is fighting for the
cause of democracy, that any candidate
for any Office III this country should
run on platform in which the main
plank is that Governor should con-
suit with and take the advice of Mr..
Barnes.
"By Mr.. Lewis's own words this
makes Mr.. Barnes the issue of the cam
palgn, and we accept it as such. We
have here the real reason why Mr.
Lewis is in the field-because Governor
Whitman does not conduct the affairs
Of the government Of the State of New
York on the advice of Mr.. Barnes. Mr..
Lewis is the first man in many years to
run on such platform-that Mr..
Barnes should be the dictator of the
State Of New York.
Question for Lewis
"Mr. Lewis says Governor should
same Barnes who always opposed Gov
ernor Hughes; the same Barnes who
was always against Theodore Roose-
Welt; the same Barnes who always op-
posed progressive men and measures
within the Republican party both in
the state and nation; the same Barnes
whose advice has always been against
the extension of suffrage to women;
the same Barnes whose advice has all
ways been against the extension of the
primary suffrage to enrolled voters Of
the party.
Does Mr.. Lewis, in taking this
extraordinary stand, forego his own
Judgment in favor of that of Mr..
Barnes 2"
Mr. Brown, whose Office is at 233
broadway, made the following state
ment:
"The extraordinary statement of
Merton e. Lewis printed in this morn
ing's papers, that he believed the Gov
ernors of this state should take the
advice of Mr.. Barnes, is a practical ad
mission that it is Mr.. Barnes who is
making this fight for control of New
York State.
"Mr. Lewis is not aware that he has
assumed position extraordinary in
american politics. In no other state
would man who is a candidate for
Governor advocate boss government as
this proposed recognition of Barnes
does"

vadsworth. when asked ii he would
accept a regularly called convention
instead of the assembly, said he could
not express an opinion until he had
more details concerning Governor
Whitman's convention plans.
With the certainty that there will be
discussion of party politics. whether
i be at Wadswortn-C Calder assembly
or at convention, interest among New
York Republicans in Congress now
centres largely on the prohibition is
sue. 1t is thought by many that the
visest plan would be to avoid q decla-
ration either for or against ratification
Of the Federal prohibition amendment,
steering a middle course by going on
:ecord in favor of referendum.
Some of the members from Central
and Western New York are placed in
peculiar position by the prohibition
amendment. Their own districts, al
though among the largest wine pro-
ducing sections in the country, are dry,
and most of their representatives in
the House voted dry on the Constitu
sional amendment. But the members
are not at all sure the people Of their
districts would be SO heartily in favor
pf the whole country going dry. thus
preventing their making wine, and
would rather give the farmers chance
to vote on it themselves than to urge
the Republican party in the state &c
on record as in favor of indorsing the
amendment. They think, too. that the
liquor question should be divorced from
politics so far as possible. and that a
referendum would accomplish that.
