WARTIME DISSENSTON
 DISCLOSED BY ASQUITH

BOSTON. Sept. 11.-Inside in- formation concerning English poli- tics in World war days is contain ed in the "Memsries and Reflec- tions" of the late Earl of Oxford and Asquits, British prime minis ter from 1908 to 1916, which have just been public'.-' here.
 Among the disclosures is a here tofore unpublished document bear ing on the resignation of Lord Fisher as the first sea lord of the British admiralty in May, 1915. The paper is an 'ultimatum" pre- pared by Lord Fisher at the time Iof his resignation in which he de- manded sweeping powers so that he might end the war and abolish submarine menace. He set forth six conditions to his accomplish ment of these ends. These con ditions included the removal of Winston Churchill from the cabi- net and Sir A. K. Wilson from the admiralty and the Committee of Imperial Defense and the War Council.
 The former Prime Ministers book, which was virtually ready for the printer before the Earl's death last February, contains num- erous extracts from informal dia- ries and records kept by him dur ing the war. There are comments on the accounts of wartime squab- bles among Sir John French, Lord Kitchener, Lloyd George and oth- CTS; conversations over possible divisions of territory after the war; and many intimate glimpses into the conduct of the war during Asquith's premiership.
 Under the date of November 16 1918, he noted in his diary:
 President Wilson is coming af- ter all, and is expected to arrive here about our polling date, De- cember IA. confess he is one of the few people in the world l want to see and talk to. :"
 Further on he wrote: President Wilson was unwise enough at this time to slip down from his oracu- lar tripod at Washington, and to rub shoulders with European dip- lomats at Paris and Versailles. I had an interesting talk with him as he passed through London; among other topics on the differ ence between the position and au- thority of the cabinet in the United States and here"
 Under date of March 24, 1915, the Prime Minister made this mo- tation in his diary:

SINCLAIR WINS
 OPENING ROUND
 IN LEGAL TILT
Fugitive from Local Jail Beats Deportation but
 Must Leave Canada

Charles Sinclair, who escaped from the local Federal jail several months ago and was apprehended August IA at Prince Rupert, B. C., will not be deported, but will be released from custody and given three months in which to leave Canada Word to this effect was received late today by U. s. Mar shal Albert White from Deputy Marshal w. H. Caswell of Ket- chikan.
 Extradition proceedings are pending against Sinclair on two warrants, one charging him with perjury and the other with breaking out of jail. U. s. At torney Justin w. Harding said today that efforts would be made to have the release of Sinclair held up pending the outcome of the extradition fight.
 The deportation case was beard before Dominion Government authorities at Ottawa. The Am erican Consul at Prince Rupert writing to Deputy Caswell said he advised Ottawa that extradi- tion proceedings were pending for Sinelair's return to Alaska. How ever, the Canadian authorities ordered Sinclairs release from custody and gave him 90 days to get out of Canada.
 District Attorney Harding said he had not decided what method to follow in trying to stay the Dominion Governments order of release. It is possible that he may send representative to Prince Rupert if there is time before Sinclair gets his free dom.

 A R E HOLDING. PR|MAR|ESTODAY.
Interest Centers on Wash- ington Where Many Cam
 didates Are in Race

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Pri- maries by the electorate of three far Western and Southwestern States being held today are charged with the selection of National and State candidates for the major political parties for the November election while the choice of Republican candidates is left to State convention in a fourth State.
 Colorado, Washington and Ari- zona are holding Statewide pri- mary elections while delegates to the New Mexico Republican State convention gathered at AL buquerque.
 Washington Primary
 The Washington pr m a r y, where contests are many and the campaigns spirited, held the chief interest with general apathy be- ing evidenced in the other elec- tions because of lack of contests and outstanding issues. In Wash ington the selection Of party nominees for United States Sem ator, five Congressman, Governor and eight other elective State officers was expected to draw a heavy vote from the 52O,00O reg istered voters.
 In Colorado
 The announced settlement of interparty strife over the selec- tion of State chairman, the new primary law which compels vot- CTS to declare their party affilia- tions on registration, and few candidates have robbed the Colo rado primary of color or interest. Colorado Democrats have two Congressional contests to decide and the Republicans one. Gov. William H. Adams has no oppon- ent for renomination for Cover nor while Attorney-General Will liam Boatright and Clarence Dodge, Colorado Springs sports man seek the Republican nom ination.
 Hunt Opposed in Arizona Gov. G. w. P. Hunt, Arizona s traditional Governor, is opposed by James Kerby Udall for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor and Judge Phillips and Celora StOddard are opponents for the Republican Gubernatorial nomination.
 In New Mexico's Republican State convention Senotor Bronson Cutting, filling out the term of the late Senator A. A. Jones, and Gov. R. 0. Dillon are unop- posed for the Republican Sena- torial and Gubernatorial nomina- tions respectively unless opposi- tion should develop on the floor of the convention at Albuquerque.
