LEWIS TO CONTEST
 REELECTION OF GOApERs

Denver, Colo, June 2o.-Supporters of Samuel Gompers and John Lewis presi dent of the United Mine Workers, who announced today his candidacy, tonight were marshalling their forces for the contest which will decide whether the veteran labor leader shall be returned to the presidency of the American Fedora tion of Labor.
 Both sides are making canvass of the situation and already declare they have mustered sufficient votes to win.
 The Gompers forces went into action immediately following the announcement by Lewis, with a declaration that the veteran labor chief would be a candidate and had no intention of withdrawing from the race.
 MT. Gompers. however, said: T con- sider the position of president of the American Federation of Labor so exalt- ed and dignifed, I would not stoop to politics to attain it.
 No man in this convention, or out of it, can truthfuBly say. and I do not believe he would untruthfully make such a statement, that I discussed the presi- dency with him or asked him for his Note"
 Except for his brief announcement l that he was candidate MT. Lewis
  i ed States. decline to make anw statement. His exporters, however were active and claimed that they had pledged more than | twenty thousand of the 3S,294 votes in | the convention.
 l Although electioneering on behalf of l Lewis has been in progress for a week 1 his announcement came as a surprise tc many delegates who had believed thai he would formally withdraw from the race.
 Labor leaders pointed out tonight that the candidacy of Lewis would change the whole political complexion" of thu convention. They said that there prob ably would be candidates put into tn, field in opposition to the presen. rnembe-i of the executive council. Up to tonight however, there had been no indication O such a move.
 MT Lewis has established a campaig1 headquarters at one of the down dowI hotels and is being aided in lis cam paign by large force of mine worker officials.
 Reports that he would not be able t control the votes of his own organiza tion were denied tonight by his support CTS. who announced that the four thou sand two tundred 1fty-seyen votes of th miners would be case in favor of thei : leader.
 The candidacy of Lewis is the first seri largest, and the Carpenters and Joiner: union, the third largest union in the fed eration already have swung their suppor , to Lewis.
 The candidacy of Lewis is the rst seri ous opposition that President Gomper has had since 1894 when he was defeat ed for reelection by John Mcbride,
 mine worker Since that time he ha been reelected year after year by a , most a unanimous vote.
 Published reports that representativ tive 5 of certain anti-Gompers interdSs ar operating among the delegates with = hundred thousand dollar "slush fund . have created considerable excitement: Al tempts, however, to get the conventio :, to invstigate the matter failed today 0
 point of order, but it is expected tt s motion for a committee of inquiry will | : made tomorrow.
