Perry Lysinger first stopped the car
at Groveton to warn the driver of a
defective tail light on his automo-
bile. After starting off again, Dia-

The nomination of Earl G. Harri-
son Of Philadelphia to be Commits
sioner of immigration and Naturali-
zation was sent to the Senate today
by President Roosevelt. Senator
Guffey, Democrat of Pennsylvania,
Immediately announced he would
fight confirmation.
Mr.. Harrison, who was appointed
to take the place made vacant by the
resignation Of James L. Houghteling,
is protege of Attorney General
Biddle. who also comes from Penn
sylvania.
Favors Democrat for Post.
In an interview more than week
ago. Senator Guffey declared his op-
position to the appointment of Mr..
Harrison, asserting that there were
plenty of good Democrats to put in
that Office and that Mr.. Harrison was
a Republican.
The contest between Senator
Guffey and the Attorney General
does not rest entirely on the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Harrison. Senator
Guffey, in his earlier interview, had
charged that the Attorney General
was seeking to bring about the NOM
ination Of "socialite" for Cover
nor on the Democratic ticket and
that he was intimating he had the
support of President Roosevelt in
seeking to select the gubernatorial
candidate. In this connection the
names Of William c. Bullitt, former
Ambassador to France, and Anthony
Drexel Biddle, now Ambassador to
several governments in exile, were
mentioned among others.
There Is strenuous contest on
over the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in Pennsylvania, with
Senator Guffey supporting Judge
Ralph Smith of Pittsburgh, the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee supporting Auditor General Ross
and Philadelphia Democrats sup
porting Luther A. Harr.
Interest in Elections.
There is a great deal of interest
this year in the outcome of the
Pennsylvania elections. Unless the
Democrats harmonic their differ
ences the Republicans may win
again as they did in 1888.
Mr.. Harrison came to Washington
in July, 1910, from law practice in
Philadelphia to take over the task
Of directing the registration Of g.
100000 aliens in the United States
With this work completed, he re-
signed last January, but Immediately
took over the post of special assist
ant to the Attorney General in
charge of immigration matters.
