Democrats Urged to Nomi.
nate Schenectady Man
to Head OFF Hearst
Attack on Murphy
Held Against Him
Upstate Leaders Insist Tam
many Opposition
Means Defeat

democratic state leaders are being
hard pressed by the Administration at
washington to get behind Representa-
tive George r. Lunn, former Socialist
Mayor Of Schenectady, as their candi-
date Tor Governor. But the New York
State men, or those who are influenced
by Tammany Hall, are opposed to the
Rev. Mr. Lunn chiefly because of an
attack he made on the personal in
tegrlty OF Charles F. Murphy, leader
OF Tammany Hall, in 1913.
This and other objections to the for
mer Socialist were voiced by those op-
posed to him at a conference Of New
York State Democrats in Washington
early in the week. Some Of the New
York State members Of Congress, who
proposed Mr.. Lunn's name, said that
President Wilson acquiesced in their
plan to have Mr.. Lunn lead the Demo
cratic forces in this state this fall. The
sponsors Of the Schenectady man de-
clared that he was an aggressive cam
paigner, radical, and easily could dis
tensions for place.

But" answered q prominent New
York State Democrat, whose word car

eyes, but that was only once" re-
sponded Lunn NAN. Hearst has at
tackled Murphy's personal integrity a
countless number of times"
~ am not interested in Hearst" was
the rejoinder.
From the same source it was learned
that if William Randolph Hearst should
decide to enter the primaries he would
have opposition which would insure his
defeat and that good deal Of it would
come from New York City
The emptiness of the Hearst boom,
Democrats declared, would be revealed
when the Democratic conference COM
mittee of forty-two at Syracuse on
Tuesday. The committee. if it fails
to agree on any one man for
Governor, will present the names
of three or four for the onsderation
of the unofficial convention which
meets in Saratoga later In the month.

F rench Protest
Hints Handicap
To Parade Plans

Irritating obstacles placed before
the French delegation in the Fourth of
July parade smack Of an attempt to
handicap their representation, accord
ing to A. F. Zoeler, of 253 Broadway
chairman of the general committee of
the French section.
I'VE were absolutely promised two
bands by representatives of the
Mayors committee" said Mr. Zoeler
yesterday. "No bands showed up.
Either that was intentional or a very
grave neglect. 1t seems to us such a
grave neglect that we have felt called
upon to issue a protest"
After the French delegation had
begun gathering at their assigned
place on Ninth Street, an attempt was
made to have them assemble with the
German section at Waverly Place
Finally, their section was called upon
to march half an hour before the time
set for their departure, so that not all
their delegation was present.
Henry Mcdonald, chairman Of the
Mayors Committee on National De-
fence, said last night that any incon-
, venience to the French section was un-
intentional, and that no bands were
furnished by the committee to any
racial group.
Preferring to devote the funds at
their disposal to relief work in their
| native land, no money was invested
for music by the French committee,
which had counted on two military
bands being provided.
Their march without music, although
they were enthusiast stically received all
along the line, prompted the following
protest from the French section:
Being unable to call a meeting at
this late hour of the general commit
tee of the French section, the under
signed members of said committee
formal and personal protest against
the treatment the French section re-
ceived at the hands of the Mayors
committee.
'In the first place, the order was
given by the representative of the
Mayors committee half an hour before
the time set for assembling.
Secondly, theN section had to parade
without music on account Of the
Mayors committee not keeping its
promise tc supply two military bands.
III, IN spite of these facts and Of the
evident intention on the part of some
one in the Mayors committee to make
failure of the French participation
in the parade, the French section has
been success, it is only due to the
loyalty and patriotism of the citizens
of French descent and to the participa-
ton of the French sailors and Blue
Devils. "a. T. ZOELER,

Cardinal Martinelli
Is Dead In Rome

ROME, July 5.-~Cardinal Sebastian
Martinelli, prefect Of the Sacred Con
gregation of Rites and former Papal
Delegate in the United States, is
dead
Cardinal Martinelli was the second
apostolic delegate to the United States,
serving from 1896 to 1902, when he
returned to Rome. He was born in
San Anna, Italy, on August 20, 1848,
inal on April Is, 1901 during his SER
vice in the United States. From 1907
to 1909 he was chamberlain of the
Sacred College. Cardinal Martinelli
was ninth on the list of cardinal
priests in order of precedence.
Known internationally as one of the
master diplomatists of his time. chat
reputation was never more secure than
after his visit to this country. He
made friends wherever he went, and
more, he left friends behind him as
he travelled about the country.
Those who met him at that time had
only the kindliest memories Of him
afterward. He spoke English fuently.
With it, however, there was just the
slightest suspicion of a brogue--a de-
words, and which was easily under
stood when it was remembered that,
though of Italian birth, much of his
education had been obtained at the
College of Santa Maria, Pusterla, Italy,
where his instructors were mostly Irish
Catholic prelates.
Cardinal Martinelli was titular Arch
bishop of Ephesus when, on appoint
ment by Leo XIII, he succeeded the
first apostolic delegate to Washington,
Fatolli, who, upon being created a car
dinal. had returned to Rome.
