Kemal is Trying to Force
Britain to Fire First Shot
Government Awaits Word From Gen. Harins
ton Before Deciding on War
? Or Peace.

LONDON. Sept. 2s.-The British
cabinet was in almost continuous
session today. confronted with a
situation in the Near East admit
tedly so serious that the slightes,
untoward incident is apt to pre-
cipitate hostilities.
Kemal is believed to be either
evading or ignoring the issues
raised by the allies TO gain time 10
which to move up more troops ant
guns and consolidate his positions
along the Dardanelles.
One government official told the
press that IL was "a sinister fact
that kemal is deliberately delaying
the negotiations while Strengthening
his positions. 6ut the British
though cognizant of the Turk tao
tics are wary of making a display
of force because they believe tha,
Kemal is trying to Jockey them into
firing the first shot and thereby
responsibility for opening hostilities.
Turks Are Advancing.
With Turkish troops advancing
toward both Ismid and Chanak.
where British forces are concen-
trated, government officials now
declare that only direct news from
the scene of action can decide
whether there is to he peace or
war. The cabinet, therefore, is COM
relled to wait from one moment to
the next for word from Gen. Har-
inSton. the English commander in
the Near East. disclosing the inten-
tions of the Turks or giving advice,
regarding further military encrosch-
ments on the neutral zone. which
would probably make armed action
by the British inevitable.
The cabinet was in almost con-
tinuous session during the day,

Strong detachments OF the British

way to Chanak where the British are
strongly intrenched. The upper Bos-

are available for patrol duty and the
sight OF them flying over the straits
makes a deep impression on the local
Turks.

New York G. o. P. Picks
Calder for Senate;
Democrats Meet.

ALBANY. n. Y. Sept. 2S.-New
York Republicans today presented
united front for the November
elections by overwhelmingly in
dorsing Gov. Nathan L. Miller and
his haDd-picked State ticket.
Miller himself was renominated
unanimously as was United States
Senator William NJ. Calder.
Others on the slate who went in
without a struggle were William
j. Donovan, of Buffalo. for lieu
tenant governor: William J. Maier.
of Seneca Falls. for controller; n.
Monroe Marshall of Malone. for
treasurer. and Charles L. Cable, OF
Rochester. for State engineer.
Harmony Prevails.
The terrific fight which Secretary
of State John Lyons predicted he
would make for denomination
failed to materialize. Lyon was
beaten by Samuel J. Joseph, of
New York. the Miller choice. The
nomination Of Joseph was made
unanimous.
The platform on whic hthe dele
gates agreed pledged the party to
support the Harding national ad-
ministration and of the Miller poll
cies in the State.
SYRACUSE. Y. Y, Sept. 2S.-The
anything to beat Smith" slogan of
the William Randolph Hearst Demo-
Gratis threatened to result in the
naming of dark horse" guberna-
torial candidate by the Democratic
State Convention here. The forces
of former Governor Al Smith and
Hearst appear to be deadlocked.
Mayor Hylan, of New York, is
mentioned as a compromise candi-
date who might win the frieni-
ship of both factions. but. in view
of his frequently expressed determi-
nation to cling to his job as Mayor
it is believed several other men may
be put forward.
Democrats Like Lunn.
Mayor George r. Lunn. Of
Schenectady. who up to this time
has been accorded heavy support to
become candidate for the United
states Senate vacancy from this
State. is now considered a possible
nominee in case the Hearst and
Smith camps continue warning.
Charles F. Murphy. chief, added
to the mystery surrounding his in
tentions by remaining away from
the convention hall at the opening
this noon.
State Seator James ]. Walker de-
nounced the Daugherty injunction
in his keynote speech beginning the
sessions. He alluded to the present
Republican government as an lad
ministration of profiteers." and said
that the regime of Gov. Miller was
one of extravaganza instead of econ
omy as claimed by the G. o. P.
State convention.

ministration cost S44.000,000 less
than the present Miller rule" he de-
clared.

Anti-P Profiteering Clause

Proposes Special National
Elections to End Pro-

A group Of leading bituminous
coal operators is expected to apply
soon for. an injunction against the
Federal Fuel Distributing Agency
set up by the Cummins- winslow
Law
Their main contention is said to
be that the anti-profiteering section
of the law Is unconstitutional. This
group of operators, numbering
twelve or fifteen, is expected to ask
the restraining order from Federal
Judge Anderson at Indianapolis.
Act - Individuals
While these operators are men,
bers OF the National Coal Associa-
tion. the proceedings, 1t was learned
yesterday. will not originate with
the ASSOCIATION but with individuals.

of the IueI distribution law. whic:l
authorizes the Interstate Commerce
Commission. through the Federal
Fuel Distributor, to deny trans
portstion to any coal which has been
contracted for in excess of a fair
price agreement, should be stricken
from the law as unconstitutional.

The memory of st. Philip should be

st. Philip founded in 1901 the religious
order of the Oratory or praying place,

Youths to the church. the old fathers
of the Oratory instituted oratorios,
pieces divided into two parts, the one
performed before the other after the
sermon. These early oratorios. which

Oratory into repute dealt with such
