touch with John w. Kelly here to-
day, it was learned that he was in
New Brunswick, and no one knew

CARDS as to whether or not he will
become a candidate. 1t is the opin-
ion of local Democratic politicians
that with Kelly's name appearing
on the ticket in this city, 1t will be
greatly strengthened.

Free Staters

he received on Wednesday while

LONDON, July Z (By The Asso-

free state gt vernment by it's victory
over the insurgent Republicans in
Dublin is believed to have taken a
long step toward establishing itself
firmly and bringing peace to Ireland
The ready response to the national
call to arms is regarded as in every
way encouraging and as further
proof that the great majority OF
Irishmen are back of the new gov
ernment and opposed to the ex-
tremists.
A small squadron of British ves-
ships arrived in Cork harbor last
night. 1t is believed the vessels
were sent in anticipation Of serious
trouble and possible attacks on the
British stations there.
The pupiic is still guessing as to
the whereabouts of de Valera. The
latest report published in today's
Mail says he spent last night at Brit
ish hamlet south of Dublin with
Austin Stock, who is commanding
