RECOUNT On GOVERNOR

A few recounts on the primary vote
were scheduled to start this after.
noon at 1870 In the county court room
under the direction Of the county court
and It is likely that all the time Of day
and part OF tomorrow will likely De
consumed in this work Just before
the hour set for the recount Of bal.
lots to be started, It was announced
that Carrigan had withdrawn his re-
quest for a recount Of the ballots on
himself and Ben Rosenbloom who had
close race for the congressional nom.
nation from the First district.
It was announced this morning that
L. A. Gather would contest the nomi-
nation Of Clyde H. Smith for Circuit
Clerk on the Republican ticket. There
was only q difference Of 81 votes be-
tween Smith and Gather and Mr..
Gather decided to have recount. He
will be represented by Clay Amos and
Frank Raymond, while James A Mere
dith will represent Mr.. Smith. Curt
Amos will be the legal light in the in,
terest OF SssR. Montgomery IN the re.
count. he has demanded IN this cot1-
", while James A. Meredith will rep
resent Judge Morgan in the same
capacity.
While there Is considerable interest
In the recount around the court house,
It Is the general opinion that there
will be little II any difference at all
to be gained by such action. The un-
official and Official canvass Of the
primary vote have been made, and
there was practically no variation
found in these two counts, so that the
possibility Of any landslide on a re
count demanded by any Of the candi.
dates Is very slight to say the least.

New York Newspaper Rates
Him Smallest Candidate Since
Franklin Pierce.

NEW YORK, June 13.-New York
newspaper comment today upon nomi-
nation of Senator Warren G. Harding
for President and Calvin Coolidge
for Vice President by the Republican
convention at Chicago was as follows:
World (Democratic)-A more re-
sepectable figurehead than Warren G..
Harding has never been nominated
for President OF the United States by
either party. Senator Harding was
nominated because the Old Guard Re-
pubIicans want a President to whom
they can give orders-a President
who will take orders.
The Sun and New York Herald IRE
pubhcan)--In the nomination of
Warren G. Harding, the Republican
party has done the wisest thing it
could have done. Examined
with regard to both strategy and the
qualifications of the candidate, the
Republican convention has shown
clear thinking and sound acting.
Governor Coolidge is a fitting run
ming mate. There is no man in public
life with a deeper regard for old
fashioned honesty and for conscien-
tious performance of public and pri-
vate trust than Governor Coolidge.
New York Times independent
Democrat)-The nomination of Hard
ing, for whose counterpart we must
go back to Franklin Pierce IL we
would seek a President who meas
ures down to his political stature, is
the fine and perfect flower of the
cowardice and imbecility of the Sena.
torial cabal that charged itself with
the management of the Republican
convention, against whose control
Governor Beeckman so vehemently
protested. Governor Coolidge
for Vice President really shines by
comparison with the head of the
ticket. He is at least a man OF
achievement; he is known to the
party and to the nation.

ITALY SUGGESTS PLAN
FOR JUCO-SLAV PEACE
Giolatti Also Announces No Com.
promise With D'Annunzio on
Fiume Issue.

ROME, June 13.-Premier Gioiatti
today authorized the following state
ment regarding the Adriatic prob
lem:
1T is not necessary for Italy to
conclude a ruinous agreement with
the Jugo-Slavs. Italy will remain on
territory fixed by the pact of London.
If the Jugo-Slavs are interested in
the Adriatic problem, let
them put forward their demands and
formulate their proposals for a solu-
ton. Meanwhile the possession OF
contested, territories will amply guar.
antee Italy.
Concerning Fiume, we must find
a way out just as soon as possible
without reaching any compromise
with D'Annunzio. His legionairres
will be replaced with regular Italian
troops"

in this city have planned to meet
him with a band and extend to
him a reception befitting the
honor which has just been be-
slowed upon him.
The Senator tomorrow will
plunge into the routine Of wind
ing up his affairs according to
plans made public here.

his tasks in Washington, he is ex-
pected to leave for Marion. Ohio,

Joy a brief rest before commenc-

patches received here today.
Official advices indicated that the
situation had again become normal

attack against the city Thursday
night.
They succeeded in entering the
suburbs of the town, but were re-

Alpini. However, the situation was

The idea that Elweil might have

Although detectives have been
unable to find the pistol from which
the death shot was fired. or to learn
how the supposed murderer gained
entrance to Elwell's bachelor apart
ments, certain other facts in Elweil 8

to disclose. have caused them to dis
card the suicide theory. they say.
1t was the belief of the police to-
day that the assassin was admitted
to tho house by Elwell himself, and
that he was talking to the murderer
when the shot was fired.
1t was recalled that Elwell had re-
turned from a theater party only a
short time before the murder was
committed. Several letters, one OF
which was opened, were found on a
table In the room where the body

~He had no reason to take his own

this time.

Leaders Are Yet Worried Over
What Senator Johnson May
Do About It.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Chicago look
ed ifeless today. The din of last
week, when the Republican party
was concentrated here to name a
"sure winner" for the Presidency,
had subsided. The sudden cessation
of political artillery fire left Chi
cago in the midst of deafening 81
lence. The city was a deserted picnic
ground, with only a disheartening
litter left in the memory Of the ju-
bilee of the week. -- ..
Crowds Go Home.
The RepublicaN convention. with it's
crowds, its whispered deals, it's actual
trades, understandings and noise was
over. A Presidential candidate was
on his way to Washington. The wheel
horses and the rubbers and stable
men were on their way home. The
dullness in Chicago today was the
calm before the political storm OF
1920.
Here's what happened last week:
The convention met as provided In
the call of the national committee.
The ancient usage were observed In
the sessions.
The committees reported as they
were expected to report-except for
the platform committee.

was to ascertain II he would be ready
on time that Mrs. lie wisohn telephon-
ed his residence a few hours after the
tragedy.
Early yesterday morning q young
woman described as Miss Ellis" and
said to be the daughter of a promi-
nent New Yorker, telephoned the FL
we'll residence to ask the whist king
about a visit that he had contem-
plated making to Saratoga She was
shocked to learn of the tragedy. and
explained that she had just returned
from Palm Beach and had not read
any of the newspapers.
Not Suicide Wound.
In announcing the result of his in
vestigation DR.. Charles N. Norris,
chief medical examiner. said that the
wound in Elwelrs forehead was of a
kind that would be very unusual In a
case OF suicide. While there were
some powder specks on the face, they
were spread out in a manner to indi-
cate that the AS caliber automatic
pistol from which the bullet had been
fired must have been at least q yard
distant. There were no burns what
ever in the wound
1t was pointed out that Elwell was
a man who easily might assume an
air of nonchalance in the face of
death, and that 1t would have been
characteristic OF him to sit down
calmly and proceed to open his mail
with a pistol leveled at his head.
After the shooting the murderer Is
believed to have left by the front
door. 1t was learned yesterday, for
tho first time, that this door had been
found open by Mrs. Marie Larsen, the
housekeeper, who found the wounded
and dying man when she arrived at
about s o'clock Friday morning.

lief that the assassin was a man IL
