WASHINGTON
BY DAY

Washington, Aug. 5.--The Repub-
lican administration is likely to be-
come embroiled in many ugly con-
tests with foreign governments as
the result of the agitation which has
been started through the seizure Of
the schooner Henry L. Marshall off
Atlantic City this week by the Coast
Guard Service Although the ship
which operated under British regis
terry was beyond the three limit,
she was boarded by United States Of
ficials and towed to New York be-
cause it is claimed she had on board
a cargo of liquor which it was in
tended. should be disposed Of in this
country.
Department of Justice officials
declared today to the Gazette COR
respondent that from a cusory ex-
animation of the existing treaties and
commercial agreements with Great
britain, there was nothing to justify
The seizure of the Marshall and that
protests from the British Embassy
would no doubt result over the ac-
ton of United States prohibition en-
forcemcnt officers.
Col. William Hayward, u. s. at
torney at New York has even gone
so far as to declare that he proposes
t. seize and search vessels of all for
cign nations suspected of having on
board liquor no matter whether they
are found beyond the three-mile limit
Cr not. Col. Hayward has been sum-
moned to Washington to give an eX-
rianaton of his intentions and there
l., little doubt but that he will be
given instructions to call off his cam
paign against rum running vessels
of foreign registry and which carry
on their sales outside the three-mile

Indications Are That His
Plurality Is Under
10000.
BIG VOTE IN FIRST
Trinkle's Victory In Race for Cover
norship Emphasized As Votes Are
Canvassed-No Date for Meeting.

Richmond, Va. Aug. 5.-Still
maintaining a lead over State Sen
ator Julien Gum, of Henrico, of
about 5000 votes, it appears that
State Senator Junius E. West, of
Suffolk, on the face of incomplete
returns, won the nomination. for
Lieutenant Governor in the Demo-
cratic primary Tuesday, but not by
as large plurality as the earlier
returns indicated.
Senator West, in a statement
early this morning over long dis
tance telephone, declared that while
returns he had received are yet in
complete especially from the Ninth
District, he is confident that he has
defeated the Henrico man by from
5000 to 10000 plurality. Efforts to
reach Senator Gum and ascertain
his views as Ito the race was futile.
1t was said at his home that he was
out of the city and could not be
reached by telephone.
Incomplete returns. compiled by
the Times-Dispatch. show that Sen
ator West to be leading with ST.
$50 votes to 32,603 for Senator Gum
Delegate Kenneth N. Gilpm is run
ming third with 19,0G1. Senator
West said last night that he had
carried Alexandria and Arlington
county by 500 plurality over Sena-
tor Gum. This vote is not included
in the totals given above. He has
also carried Washington county, but
has not received any figures.
The Second District rallied ito the
banner of the Senator from Suf-
folk with a tremendous vote, giving
him on the face of approximately
complete returns. 1926 to 1858 for
Senator Gum. This more than over
comes the lead Senator Gum has in
the Third. which gave his 12,714 to
3,126 for Senator Gum.
Indications are that Senator West,
has carried the First District by
from 1000 TO 1000 plurality, and
the Fourth. Fifth and Sixth. by a
substantial vote. In the Seventh,
Senator Gum apparently has won:
Delegate Gilpin, on the face OF
very incomplete returns, is leading
in the Eighth. The vote in the
Ninth is largely lacking. but it is
reported that Senator West is eXcep
tionally strong in that district. In
the Tenth. according to incomplete
returns, Senator Gum stands a
chance of coming out the victor;
Late returns in no way affect
the race for the governorship. The
majority of Senator Trinkle in the
State, over Harry st. George
Tucker, is estimated to be in the
of 10000. Richmond
gave a majority to Senator Trinkle
of 271.
Jacob n. Brenaman. secretary of
the State Democratic Committee.
stated yesterday that no date had
been set for the meeting of the
committee, but intimated that a con
ference would probably be called in
September, at which time the re-
suit of the primary election would
be declared and certified. Matters
affecting the November election will
be taken to conduct vigorous cam
paign against the Republican candi-
dates.
Congressman Rorer James. chair
man of the State Democratic Com
mittee. is expected to issue the call
for a meeting of that body.

MISS FARRAR SINGS CARMEN
AT METROPOLITAN MATINEE
Popular Soprano in Good Voice
and Continues to Show
Improvement.
BY w. j. HENDERSON.

Carmen" was sung at the Metropolis
tan Opera House yesterday afternoon
In the evening the opera was Puccini's
''Manon Lescaut." In the Bizet work
Miss Geraldine Farrar presented her
familiar impersonation of the cigarette
making, smuggling and vamping gypsy,
who caused all the trouble. The popular
soprano was in good voice and sang her
music unusually well. Attention has al
ready been called to Improvement in
Miss Farrar's singing this season, and
without doubt operagoers will not be
slow to take note of It.
Her associates were Nine. Sundelius
as NtcdeLd, role which she sings well
Mr.. Martinelli as the infatuated Dor
Jose, and Mr.. de Luca as Escamillo. Mr.
Rothier as ZuHigd had his second oppor-
tunity of the week to wear a Spanish
uniform. Mr.. Wolf conducted.
The performance of "Manon Lescaut
was one of uneven merit. Nine. Aida, who
appeared in the first act as a pink rose
in the rose bud garden OF Amiens, was
apparently somewhat fatigued by her
journey in the diligence and her voice
sounded dull and husky. But in Paris
that same old wicked Paris for which
Louise longed in later years-Manon be-
came more sprightly. But 1t was not
one of Nine. Alda's best nights.
Mr.. Fertile made his second Metro
politan appearance as the young Che
pdtier des GrieuT. His voice. too
sounded thin and cloudy and he did not
add to the impression he made as Cara
Tddossi. Mr.. Scott as Lescaut had to
sing with foggy voice, owing to the old
soldiers devotion to the banished cup
and. as usual, his acting was admira BILE
Among the secondary singers Angelo
Bada as the dancing master, and Miss
Marion Telva as a musician attracted
especial notice.

IcNAz FRIEDMAN,s CONCERT.

Ignaz Friedman, pianist. gave re-
cital in Aeolian Hall yesterday. He
played here several times last year and
sustained his European reputation for
being one of the first of the living plano
virtuosos.
Yesterday he gave a programme suf-
ficient TO test the nerve OF any remark
able pianist. The compositions were
Brahms's variations and fugue on
theme of Handel, LISTS minor sonata,
by Chopin, the less seldom heard b nat
polonaise, the minor valse and noe
turne and Liszt's transcription OF Wag-
ner's "Tannheuser" overture.
Mr.. Friedman gave much pleasure to
his auditors and in response to the ap-
plause after the sonata he gave what
amounted to an extra group in cncores
and which included his own charming
arrangement of an air from "Orfeo.'
The Liszt composition has received sew
eral hearings here this season, but 1t is
safe to say the remarkable compound

BOSTON ORCHESTRA CONCERT.

The second matinee concert OF the
Boston Symphony Orchestra gave
pleasure to large audience in |ar-
negie Hall yesterday afternoon 1t is
the custom of Pierre Monteux, con-
ductor of the organization, to arrange
his matinee programmes as one cherish
ing belief that afternoon concert goers
do not possess such robust appetites
a those who adventure into the shades
of night Consequently the list was
planned along the lines of an accom- .
modating decrescendo.
The first number was Cesar Frunck's s
symphony. which supplied the most
substantial mental food in the feast.
1t was followed by the Tragic Over
ture" of Brahms. which has ceased to
be tragic and Is now merely disturbed.
After this came three pieces for orches-
ira by Lladov. ''Kikimora," "The En-
chanted Lake" and "Baba Yaga." The
concert ended with the familiar orches-
tral fragments from Ravers "Daphnis
and Chloe" ballet.
1t was a delightful and restful en-
tertainment The Franclx symphony
was performed with much beauty OF
tone. with color and with warmth of
delivery. 1t might have been possible
to make some parts of the work more
transparent and others more luminous,
but on the whole the performance was
one to command admiration.
The symphony itself no longer troubles
the souls of music lovers. They even
smile when they read about Gounod' 8
verdict after the first presentation of
the work that it was the affirmation
of Incompetence pushed to dogmatic
lengths" 1t did not occur to the COM
poser of Faust" that he was doing
a little dogmatizing of his own. But
all that sort of thing has been laid
away in the habitually closed pages
OF history. Only critics ever dig up
such things, Just to show that they are
not the only commentators who make
mistakes. 1t remains only to note that
there was much applause after the
symphony and that the other numbers
also seemed to give happiness to the
