The holdup news Of the day comes
this time from Brooklyn. OF course
the thieves who made a $1,000 haul at
the point of their revolvers, got away
in a motor,car. They bound and gag
ged the customers they found in the
store they looted, a ,haberdashery in
Flatbush Avenue, working without
undue haste because they took the
precaution to place a sign, back in
ten minutes" on the front door of the
shop before they began the gagging.

was waiting on them. James ]. Quinn,
a letter carrier came nj with the
mornings mail.

peared entering and closing the door
carefully behind them. They asked
to see the manager and when Field

Feldman to open the safe, and he

ager. The robbers didn't know him,
however and he too was ordered TO
Join the hands up party.
Then the thieves went through the
pockets OF the FIVE victims, taking
watches and money. After that they
looked over the stock and selected
$4,000 worth of silk shirts and cuff
buttons and the like. setting them to

CHICAGO, H., June Copyright,
1s2O).-Inside politics, like inside
baseball, has its mysterious feints
and passes. but thus far the captains
Of the various political teams have
made little progress around the bases.
Conferences between the respective
managers have been held with the
idea of persuading rivals that they
had better give up trying and throw
their strength "where it will do most
good"
Supporters of Senator Hiram john
son, for instance, are saying to Low
den men that the Illinois Governors
vote against Roosevelt in 1912 through
his proxy Senator Lor1mer, would
kin him with the Progressives, and
that If that wasn't sufficient the Mis-

TWO CLASSES OF JOHNSON
DELEGATES AT CHICAGO.

On the other hand, there are TWO
classes Of Johnson delegates-the thick
and thin supporters who will stick 70
the finish and those who came from
States which voted overwhelmingly
for Johnson. but who personally don't
like Johnson because OF his unpoLu-
larity with the political leaders Of the
Republican Party. These Johnson
delegates must vote for the California
Senator as long as there is a chance
for him to win, but the managers OF
other candidates are already trading
with them for second choices and third
choices.
The Lowden people continue conf
dent. The Wood people realize they
have been slipping in the last two
days, but they, too, know that n
Hiram johnson wants to do II he can
make Leonard Wood the nominee.
This would cause considerable con-
fusion among the members Of the now
"Old Guard" who, by the way, COM
prise the managers OF the Lowden
boom, men like A. II. Hert, National
Committeeman from Kentucky, and
John Hammond. the new boss Of Ok
lahoma. They fought the Wood man
ayers in many a State and won.
