HARTFORD, Conn.,. June 26.-
Speaker James F. Walsh of the Con-
necticut house of representatives,
upon his return from the republican
national convention, to which he was
a delegate at large. gave out a state
ment to the effect that Col. George
Harvey. presumably representing a
group of senators, was a party to a
proposal made to the4. Connecticut
delegation during the recess precedr
ing the final session OF the convent
ton that Connecticut take the lead
in move to nominate Hays instead
of Harding. .s - IN
Speaker Walsh says he savas the sole
Connecticut witness to Fthe confer
ence at which the proposal was made
to J. Henry Roraback; chairman OF
the Connecticut delegation. Accord
ing to his story, he and Chairman
Roraback were summoned to Room
404 in the Blackstone Hotel only IF
teen minutes before the final session
was scheduled to convene, and 1T
was represented to Roraback that
pledged to the plan, that it would go
through whether Connecticut came in
or not, but that Connecticut could
have the credit for the nomination II
it went back into the convention and
switched it's thirteen Lowden votes
ito Chairman Hays. Roraback reT
fused, point blank, according to
Walsh, and informed Col. Harvey that
Connecticut no doubt would be for
Harding on the next ballot; which
proved to be the case. -
1t is presumed that Connecticufs
support was asked in the plan on ac-
count of it's standing sixth on the
convention roll and being the first
state that had gone solidfy for Low
den, from whom it evidently had been
decided that the nucleus of votes
would have to come.
Speaker Walsh justif1es his discle-
sure, if such it may be called, at this
time by saying that it is necessary
in order to prove that the conven-
ton was Embossed, or at least that
the nominee, Harding. was apparent
ly not the pick of that conference of
leaders early Saturday morning which
has taken credit for the nomination,
The speaker declined to name any of
the others, of whom he says there
were several at the conference Satur-
day afternoon; in fact, declined to
volunteer any names, but admitted
that Col. Harvey was one of those
who put up the proposition to Chair
man Roraback. II. l. HORTON.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS
PLAN FOR C, 0.P. FIGHT
Scheme to Split Solid Republican
Congressional Districts Of
the State.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
| RICHMOND, Va, June 26.-Plans
are being formed for the splitting
the state so that the election of a
democrat to Congress from that part
of Virginia so long, represented by
Representative c. Bascom Slemp will
be a possibility. For a long time
there has been a disposition to re-
apportion that part of the state. This
problem is believed to have been solv
ed by the consolidation of the sixth
and the ninth districts, taking from
the sixth sufficient democratic coun
les to overcome the republican ma
jority in the new ninth district and
adding the republican counties that
are to be dropped from the ninth to
the sixth district.
The ninth district would be- made
up of the following counties and
cities: Roanoke, Montgomery, Pulas-
XII, Wythe, Snyth. Washington, Scott
and Lee and the cities of Bristol, Rad
ford and Roanoke. The sixth dis
trict would take on the following
counties: Giles, Bland. Tazewell, Rus
sell Dickinson, Wise and Buchanan,
all of the present ninth district, and
in addition would take Botetourt and
Craig, the two latter DelnS IN the
tenth district, which is one of the
large districts for congressman.
Floyd, in the sixth, would go to the
fifth.
Estimates made of the political
complexion of the two districts show
that the democrats would be able to
poll a ma iority of 1900 to 2,500 in
each instance. This arrangement
would make the sixth district extend
from Campbell county to Wise county
a distance of $50 miles, while the
ninth district would be just fifty
miles shorter. There is no attempt to
do anything else than to make the
southwest part of Virginia a part of
the state, as for years the representa-
tives in the Legislature and in Con-
gress haXe been out of touch with the
majority of the people of the state
Since the day when Judge William
F. Rhea, now president of the state
corporation comm ssion, retired from
Congress the district has been the
property of the republicans, all efforts
at dislodging them having been de-
feated. 1t was in this district that
the famous fight and shooting and
cutting match developed between the
rivals at the contested election Of
Walker against Rhea. The demo-
Gratis have made gallant fights to re-
claim the, di istriot, and such men as.
r.. Tate Irvine. Robert p. Bruce,
Joseph c. WISER. = Henry Carter
Stuart and r. Lee Trinlsle have car
ried the banner for the party, yet the
voters have always remained firm in
their allegiance to the republicans.

Belfast and Ulster
May See Riots Like

/. BELFAST, June 26.-The prospect
of the extension of the Londonderry
disturbances to-. Belfast and Ulster
generally and this developing into
some thing like civil war, has caused
great anxiety to the unionist leaders
and the more responsible men On the
other side.
+ One of the foremost Carsonite chiefs
processes the utmost alarm for the
Immediate future. He says that it is
only by the most urgent pressure that
the Orange shipworkers. the most for
midable of fighters. have been so far
restrained from taking up the gauge
of battle which they believe has been
deliberately thrown at them by the
Sim Fein. <
They had. on the advice of Sir Ed
ward Carson, agreed to accept the
home rule bill and start a parliament
of their own. leaving the rest of Ire
land to do what it pleased. This was
followed by outrages and burnings by
the Sim Feiners carried right into
the city of Belfast itself. At one
place a Protestant clergyman was
wounded by Sim Fein gunner in
their attack on the barracks. The
shipworkers treat all of this as prov
ocation.
Hitherto they haye made no repris-
ais and the Carsonite chief says he
hopes this may continue. But he is
doubtful whether it can be main
tanned during the excitement of the
Orange celebrations in July. as he
fears that the Sim Feiners will
for a fresh demonstration. If they
do this. he thinks Ireland may see
again riots as violent as those of
1886.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 26.--Ken-
tucky's delegation at San Francisco,
while, for the most part, ardent sup
porters of the candidacy of Gov.
James NJ. Cox, is not as likely to act
in such concert as did it's brother and
sister delegation at Chicago. For,
while the republican delegation had
voice to speak for them in A. To-
bias Hert, the old commemorative
democracy is without Warwick to
lead it in battle. When it comes to
voting for temporary and permanent
officers of the convention, Judge Alex.
p. Humphrey of Louisville, the Ken
lucky delegation chairman, probably
will cast kentucky's twenty-six votes
for the candidates of the administra-
ton, but when the balloting for can
didates begins, it may be that no more
than the instructed twenty-five of
the twenty-six will Immediately be in
line for the Governor of Ohio.
Before their departure half of the
delegation announced that they were
against any "tampering" with the Vol
stead enforcement act, while the re-
mainder either were silent or favored
a modification plank. All the Ken
tuckians favored an out-and-out
league of nations plank.
The announcement OF Mr. MCAuoO s
irrevoca BILE decision not to allow his
name to go before the San Francisco
convention was received with mixed
feelings here and the labor element,
especially the railroad men, are CROP
ing about to find candidate upon
whom to pin their support. Ken
tuckians generally hold that if the
party goes south for a candidate it
should go to Alabama, where looms
the figure of Senator Underwood, him
self a native of Louisville and called
by his admirers here "the ablest. and
most experienced democrat in public
affairs"
Independents who backed Herbert
Hoover's candidacy in either party are
awaiting the action of the San Fran
cisco convention before they announce
their allegiance. Even the repub-'
licans who backed the former food ad-
for that party's nomina-
tion seem 1oath to accept the lead
ership &C Senator Harding.

7 sLONDONDERRY, Ireiand,: June 26.-
The situation which has resulted in
fierce rioting and deaths. as revealed
! by. men on, both sides, is a by-product
| of the recent municipal elections. The
ma tionalists. though forming the ma
Ijerity of the population. have never
| had control of the city. AT the recent
of the constitutional nationalists%a and
I the, Sinn Feiners which. gave them
jointlysa majority. and they elected
the first Roman Catholic mayor Lon
donderry ever had.
This was resented by the Orange
men and for some time victors and
vanquished have been trailing their
coats at each other. Hence, the fights.
If the Sim Feiners are provided with
rifles and revolvers they are good
shots. The Orangemen in most cases
still have. the weapons with which. as
Sir Edward CarSon'S volunteers, they
were. prepared to face civil war be-
fore. the Germans gave them some
thing else to do. Many of them fought
bravely in Flanders and the cruel
part of the business of the fights that
are now taking place in Londonderry
is that they have against them some
of the men who were, then their COM
radeS in arms.
When the world warsrended the
| former service ,cmen, instead of
fraternlZlng 10 DuliQ new ireland,
as John Redmond has hoped, became
absorbed in their old factional quar-
relS. On the nationalist side i'm Lon
donderry men who had fought against
the Germans are now fighting for the
Sim Fein. though the Sim Fein aided
Germany by it's Easter week rebellion
1t is hopeless to try to disentangle
the responsibility for all this. Here
each side blames the other and both,
from opposite points of view, blame
the government. One thing seems
clear, namely, that the sending OF
troops more promptly would have pre-
vented the riots from assuming such
dangerous proportions. The failure
to do so provoked from the national
lists the accusation that the govern
ment welcomed the riots as a useful
argument in support of the policy Of
recognizing that there are two Ire
lands and of setting up two parlia-
ments.
AS between the two factions in
Derry, the damage done and the
method of doing it seem to be about
equal. The casualties nearly balance
and there are, as usual, innocent vic
Tins, including women.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, June 26.-The nomination
of Harding and Coolidge is fast grow
ing in popularity among the diverse
elements of the republican party in
the state of Massachusetts, Remarks
made by Charles Sumner Bird are typ
ical of the friendliness of the pro-
gressive element and there have been
numerous indications that the other
wise independent factions who resent
"old guard" domination are well sat
isfied. The Impression that Gov.
Coolidge could just as easily have been
nominated as head of the ticket if a
movement to that end had started at
the fifth ballot has created much sore
ness among the rank and file.
Gov. Coolidge becomes part and parcel
OF the republican national campaign,
with no expressed resentments, how
ever. He remains just as silent today
as in the days preceding the convention.
He accepts the honor of second place on
the ticket with great pleasure. Though
the call may come to him to join spell
binders in tour of the west. it is un-
likely that the governor will consent to
go farther away from home than the
boundaries of New England.
