Hi a Slof Corrttpondtnt cl Tut Sen axd New Toik Mould. Boston, July 28. Last August a thoroughly awake Italian,' who had coma to America from Parma to make money and who, casting: tor chances, had sold fruit on street cor- ners, waited on diners In cheap restaurants and had clerked lnbrbker-tg- e olllccs, mado a great discovery. he Is enjoying every syb-nnt- ic comfort that millions of can fetch him. His name Is Charles Ponzl, and whereas he used to have trouble convincing suspicious pro- prietors of those Belgravlan water- front lodging houses, whero for \60 cents ono is entitled to two feet, of floor space in a room with thirty other sleepers, that ho was good for the four bits, he's doing his sleeping these nights In lavender silk pajamas of amazing fineness In a bed that any collector of real antiques would pay ft couple of thousand for in a house in Lexington worth $100,000. To-da- y this enterprising young m:m (It's hard to believe he's 3S nears old) sat in lofty officer in 27 School street and, with his face con- torted Into a smile that was part sneer, Jeer and altogether mocking, ho dealt out to scores of men and women more than 1200,000 which these same men and women prior to last Saturday begged him to take, that It might bring thorn 50 per cent, profit in 45 days, for this he had ad- - ertised ho could do. \ Keep Ilia Big Secret. Pride in his genius as a wizard of finance prompts Ponzl to reveal the main dualla of his great Idea, but the real secret tho enacting clause, so to say Ik declines to make public at present. And before wu go any further It must be understood that thus far he has not failed to keep all his promises. It is said, and admitted by the police and the United States District Attorney, that he has made a dozen Bostonlans rich be- yond any dreams they ever cherished before they met and wero convinced by Ponzl. He has made a millionaire of himself how many times Is not known. He soys he's worth 110,000,000 tnd probably he's correct. All those; men and women who had sufficient courage to stick It out after giving their money to ponzl have made handsome profits and to-d- and yesterday, while hundreds stormed his offices screaming for their money and threatening him with death, Ponzl's own clerks and a hundred eager speculators went In and out among that panicky throng buy Ing. from all who would sell, Ponzl's certificates that promised, over Ponzl's clear signature, that the bearer of that yellow paper could demand and receive from Ponzl one hundred and fifty per rent, of his Investment In forty-fiv- e days after the Invested money was placed In Ponzl's hands.

It Heems hard to believe, but It Is Perfectly true that In Boston, whero Yankco caution Is supposed to Infest ono the moment one breathes Its air, and In ' this year of 1920 when It would be rea tonable to say that the day of the got rich quick game was past these 3,000 men and women were fighting to hand to Charles Ponzl the savings of their uretlmes a man they had never seen, of whom they had never heard, whose propaganda was of the sort that makes men and women shy off, who refused to tell what be was doing with the raonoy or how he hoped to refund It The newspapers printed the story. They found nothing wrong with Ponzl or his scheme. Neither has the United States Government nor the city of Bos- ton. Neither has any one else. \It's very simple,\ says Ponzl. \First the psychology of greed. \Then the Psychology of fear. Men and women are children a few years older.\ As wildly as they fought to give Ponzi their money, Saturday's three thousand and several thousand more stormed his doors on Monday.

The Reichstag to-d- by an overwhelming ma- jority approved the agreement mado recently by the Govern- ment at Spa with the representa- tives of the Entente. This vote constitutes an emphatic approval of the policy of Chancellor Fehrenbach and Foreign Minis- ter Simons in tho disarmament and coal agreements reached with the Allies.

CROWDS SEE CARDRAIDS Police' on Scaling ladders latter Into Two Clubs and Arrest 22 Men. GAMBLING DEVICES TAKEN Washington Heights Game Forcibly. Halted, Saddening Some Women Players. Adopting emergency measures when they found windows and doors barred agalnst.them, detectives operating un- der tho direction of Inspector James Boland raised scaling ladders up the faces of houses in West Thirty-fir- st arid West Thirty-secon- d streets near Fifth avenuo at 6 o'clock last night,\ and, while thousands of passersby looked on made two of the most spec- tacular raids seen In that neighbor- hood since the police began to scorch 'for gambling evidence there. Both houses were raided last Feb- ruary, when a battle occurred be- tween a detectlvo and Robert Moore, a lawyer. Mr. Moore was arrested and later was honorably discharged, together with the other prisoners. Mr. Mooro defended the twenty-tw- o pris- oners taken last night when they wcro arraigned In night court and they 'were discharged. About the time the police were acting in tho West Thirties men of Inspector Cahalane s staff descended on an apart- ment house In H3d street near Broad- way and arrested a woman who, they allege, has been conducting her home as a gathering place for women poker players. This raid also created excite ment among the tenants of tho house. The first raid made by Inspector Bolands men was on tho Independence League Club In West Thirty-firs- t street Lieut Resell led the raiders up the scaling ladders while the crowd in the street cheered. When the big Iron hook of the ladder was thrust through the glass of a third floor window seven men were surprised and taken Into custody. Lieut Kenneally and nve detectives then started operations on the building occupied, according to their report, by the Mutual Independent Democratic Club. Around from Fifth avenue into Thirty-secon- d street came a throng of home going women shoppers and workers. Once more the scaling ladder hook was used to smash the window through which the detectives were to go. On the third floor they found fifteen men who they said were playing cards. They took them and a table, some chairs, and boxes containing what they described as poker chips to the West Thirtieth street sta- tion. Charges of keeping and maintain- ing a gambling house were made against Adolf Abrahams, aged 60, who said he Hved at 315 West Ninety-nint- h street, end Patrick Burke, aged 58, who gave his address as 229 West 109th street Burke, Abrahams and tho twenty others when arraigned were discharged by Magistrate Jesse Silverman, who luled that the police had no evidence against them. 85 MILLION FRANCS FOR ALL MUMM WINES Americana Believed Back of French Offer. Bptcial Cable Despatch to The Sox xm Nw, Yonx Ribald. Copyright, 1K0, by Tnx Sux and New Yoik Heiald. Paris, July 28. The French Govern ment this afternoon announced the high est bid for all the Mumm champagne properties In the Rhelms district, which were sequestered at the beginning of the war in 1914, was 86,000,000 francs, the highest bidder being the Society Optorg, which Is composed entirely of French wine exporters. Under the conditions of the sale, the deal will not be closed until August 18, and between now and that date Amerl- - Lean or British bidders may raise the offer which was announced y. If a new offer Is considered attractive enough It may be accepted. It Is not considered likely that the Society Optorg's offer will be raised, howover, as Amerfcan financiers who were approached last week declared Ihcy were not Interested In wines, as the lawmakers In all countries are fickle and may decide at any time to prohibit the sale of all alchollc liquors, as they did In America.

I SIMONS SHAKES GERMANY WITH PLAINTRUTHS Berlin Foreign Minister Praises Lloyd George for His Tact at Spa. FAVORS SOVIET SUPPORT Hints Polish Peace Problem Can Be Solyed Only by Germany's Aid RUSSIA NOT ALL CHAOS Says Ho Regards Tchifcherin as an Unusually Shrewd Man. By BAYMOSD SWING. Stall CorrttpondeM o Tns Sen and New Yoik llaui, Copyright, 1910, by The Sen and New Yoik HeiIld. Berlin, July 28. Political and In- dustrial Germany is shaken and the German press is widely divided on the speech of Dr. Walter Simons, Foreign Minister, in tho Reichstag. Praise of his policy by the Demo- cratic and Independent Socialist newspapers is counterbalanced by the mystification, sarcasm and bitterness expressed by tho conservative press and political parties. When tho Reichstag met the mem- bers expected to hear a careful ex- position of Germany's policy at Spa. Instead they heard a straightforward analysis of world politics in so far as Germany Is affected. Meanwhile tho Reichstag was amazed to behold what the Frelhcit terms \a sin against tho Holy Ghost\ by Dr. Simons when he strongly commended the \reconstruc- tive achievements of the Soviet Gov- ernment of Russia.\ Members of the nationalist half Jingo German People's party were forced to listen to a Minister of their own coalition rebuke the Relchswchr for not having scrupulously saluted tho French flag, after It had been stolen and returned, at tho French Embassy In Berlin on July 14. They heard him passionately remark that It was better to accept Franco's de- cision to lend a French Minister to Bavaria than to engage In a conflict. They heard him criticise the methods employed when Dr. H. A Dorten, Separatist leader in the Rhlncland, was arrested In Wiesbaden recently. They heard him laud Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain for tho tact ho showed at Spa, and express the hope that the British Premier would recover speedily from his Indisposi- tion. Dancing With Lloyd George. \It was a kow-to- to 'La Grande Nation' I\ declares the Deutsche Tageazcitung. \He appears to feel himself strong enough to dance with men like Lloyd George and MUler-and- ,\ Is the opinion of the Tag, the organ of the German People's party. \Undeniably It was a statesmanlike address,\ is the verdict of the Tageblatt, whllo the Freihelt declares that \Dr. Simons Is a man with an honest will to speak the truth and he is filled with an earnest desire to be Just\ German press comment, however, does not refer to what many persons hero consider Dr. Slmons's principal Idea and his open Intimation that the Entente recognizes that the Polish peace prob- lem cannot be solved without German cooperation. What has taken Germany by surprise Is not the fact that she finds In the Ber lin Foreign Office a Minister with a wide vision and a carefully devised plan, but to find that this Minister is a man who scorns political tricks and follows his own policy without sparing tho sensibil- ities of his followers. \How easy It would have been,\ writes the Freiheit, \to ipush an Injured na- tionalist feeling Into prominence In deal- ing with the French flag Incident How much applause he would hava gained from the Conservatives If, in referrirfg to the arrest of Dr. Dorten and to other incidents, he had laid the blame on the Intrigues of the Entente. \But to the pain of our patriots he renounced all such guiles and curtly ad- mitted Germany's responsibility. He is neither a diplomatist of the old school nor a bureaucrat In the notorious Prus- sian sense of tho word.' Praises Tchiteherln and Itnaita. Dr. Simons's remarks in the Reichs- tag about Russia has called, forth ex- pressions of scepticism from the entire press and a demand for more Information from \the reliable source\ the Foreign Minister referred to. In connection with Russia Dr. Simons said: \I became acquainted with Tchiteherln (Soviet Foreign Minister) In Brest-- r Lltovsk and I regard htm as an un- usually shrewd man. \I do not believe It Is to the Interest of the Soviet republic to devastate Ger many with murderous. Incendiary hordes. What the soviet repuouc requires Is economic support. By overstraining tho Soviet Idea It robbed Itself of the greater part of the economic strength which would mako possible the reestabllshment of tho destroyed economic order. I am not one of those who see In Russia merely chaos. I know from thorough reports of unbiased. Intelligent men that a variety of enormous, constructive labor Is being performed a work which. In certain respects, wo would do well to use as a model. (Independent Social ists: \Hear hear! Very true!\) I will gladly furnish Information on this (Continued on Ninth Page.)

MANNIX LAND INIRELAND British Government Notifies Australian Archbishop 3 Days Before Sailing. LEAVES HERE ON BALTIC Prolate Says Nothing . But Physical Force Will Prevent Him Going on Board. i London, July 28. Tho British Gov- ernment has decided upon only one, thing In connection with Archbishop Munnlx of Melbourne, Austral, com- ing to tho British Isles, and that Is that ho will not bo allowed to land in Ireland. It is evident that tho off- icials have been unable to decide what they will do should ho not attempt to land at Quecnstown but did attempt to disembark at Liverpool. Archbishop Monnlx has been off- icially notified that ho will not be al- lowed to go to Ireland, but the Gov- ernment Is taking no steps to. pro-ve- nt him from boarding tho steamship Kaltlc, which sails from New York on Saturday. The official statement from tho Irish Ofllco yesterday that Archbishop Manntx would not bo allowed to land in the British Isles was characterized today as at least premature. Dublin. July 28. A requisition has been signed requiring the Lord Mayor to summon a special meeting of the Dublin corporation for the purpose of conferring the freedom ot the city on Archbishop Mannlx. Archbishop Mnhnlx has a cabin re- served for him on the White Star liner Baltic, sailing on Saturday for Queens-tow- n and Liverpool. It was said at the office of tho lirie that the Archbishop probably had obtained a passport In Aus- tralia direct to England. He had asked for no cancellation of his reservation, and so far as the company was con- cerned he was free to sail or not, as he pleased. It waB said .at the British,. Consulate that It was not known there what sort of a passport the Archbishop had and that the consulate had not been notified that he would not be permitted to land in Ireland or England. In a statement made at Atlantic City tho Archbishop said: \Several weeks ago I booked a passage on the Baltic, which will sail from New York on Satur- day. 1 Intended to land at Quecnstown. I also wrote to certain friends there to request that my landing should not bo marked by any demonstration of any kind, and I have assurances from them that they will try to carry out my wish, \I do not mean to alter my plans by reason of threats as to what may happen to me If I do land In Ireland. Nothing but physical force will prevent me from going on board the Baltic at the ap pointed time next Saturday, July 31.\ Rome, July 2S. Strong remonstrances from Australia on the utterances in the United States of Archbishop Daniel J. Mannlx of Melbourne have been received by the Vatican. The protests state that the Archbishop's assertions do not repre- sent tho feeling prevalent In Australia, and ask that some tangible public dec- laration be made In order to protect the loyalty of the large majority of the Australian population. NEW ENGLAND TO GET BIG COAL SHIPMENTS Priority Ruling Gives 650,000 Tons Monthly by 3 Roads. Roanoke, July 28. The Norfolk and Western, Chesapeake and Ohio and Vlr. glnlan railways will ship 650,000 tons of coal a month to New England In accord ance with the recent priority order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, it was announced here y by the Nor- folk and Western. The shipments will bo divided as follows: Norfolk and Western, 380,000 tons: Chesapeake and Ohio, 85,000, and tho Virginian, 185,000. Chicaoo, July 28.

Copyright, 10!0, bv Tub Sun and New Yoik Heiald, Paws, July 28. The French Gov- ernment has asked tho Comto de Galard de Bearn, French Charge d'Af-falr- es In Washington, to ascertain without delay tho attitude of the United States toward the proposed conferenco with tho Soviet Govern ment as well as tho attitude of Amer- ica toward the Allies assisting Poland should the armistice negotiations fail to bring peace. The Temps discussing tho Boulogne meeting, says that the Allies would mako a great mistake if they agreed to confer with the Soviet Government before consulting Wash- ington. Bperial to Tub Scn and New Yoik Heiuld. Washington, July 28. The United States will b5 represented In any allied oonference held to discuss the Russian problem by an observer, although this Government may not take any official part In a world assemblage of this char- acter. It Is known that the United States, which has pursued an Indepen- dent policy toward Russia, will be con- sulted before any definite arrangements are made. Interpretation placed here on news despatches concerning the conferences between Premiers Mlllerand and Lloyd George Is that the proposals to hold a world conference have run up against obstacles which for the moment are In superabjo. . The allied position In Its latest note Is that the Polish question must be In cluded In any conference between Russia and the allied Powers, while the Rus flans had countered with a proposal that the conference deal only with a general peace meaning political recognition of the Soviet Government The situation accordingly, Is regarded as extremely critical, demanding tho most delicate handling to avert ft complete breaK, which would compel tho allied Powers to resort to force to bring acceptance of their position from tho Soviet regime. Considerable apprehension is felt here over reports of the speech of German Foreign Minister Simons to the effect that Poland must be a bridge botreen Germany and Bolshevist Russia rather than a barrier between them, and by re ports ot tho continued advance ot the Bolshevik forces In Poland while ne- gotiations concerning the armistice are In progress. The final policy which will be adopted by this Government In dealing with the situation will be determined by the President, who has mapped out the pre- vious dealings with Russia. Part of that policy will have to determine whether the United States will partici- pate In any European negotiations which do not havo the League of Na- tions as Its background. The fundamental feature of the Ameri- can policy has been to refuse recogni- tion to Soviet Russia but at the same time stand against any dismemberment of tho Russian Empire. This attitude maintains tho traditional friendliness ot the United States toward Russia, and Is banking on tho final assertion of a more stable and substantial spirit In Rii.udan affairs than exists now. The basis of this policy has been faith In the ultimate ability of Russia to \come back.'\ LOOKS TO GERMANS TO DEFEAT SOVIETS Churchill Says Teutons WiU. Gain by Fighting Bolsheviki.

Winston Spencer Churchill, as a Journalist and not as Minister of War, writing In Lord North- - cllffe's Evening, News, calls upon Ger- many to Join with the Entente Allies and Europe In her own' Interest to op pose the westward sweep of the Bolshe- - vlki.

MILLER WINS FOR GO VERNOR, WADS WOR TH FOR SENATOR; PRIMAR Y BA TTLE PROMISED BIG CITIES WILL HEAR HARDING Senator Likely to Yield to Na tionwide Demand for ' Speaking Tour. PORCH PILGRIMAGES ALSO Will Bo Heard Several Times Hero and May Visit tho Pacific Coast By a Stall Correapovdent 0 The Son anl New Yoik Houi.d. Marion, Ohio, July 28. The Repub- lican national campaign is being re modelled. Yielding to the plea of party leaders, Senator Harding is known to bo giving serious consider ation to demands that he carry his messago to the voters through the medium of extensive speaking tours. Tho front porch idea Is not to be abandoned, but is to fte supplemented by tho tours, which will cover most of tho principal cities. Tho nominee will continue receiving pilgrimages at his Mount Vernon avenuo residence, where ho will make many important addresses. Between visits he will cover most of the States where there is hard fighting to be done. The Senator Is still opposed to the whirlwind, rear end stumping tour with a dozen speeches a day and does not intend to Indulge in that practice. Tho speaking schedule now being worked out Is understood to provide trips as far west as Denver at least; south to Memphis; to Boston, New York and the big centres throughout tho past and West. It has developed hero In the last few days that there has been a wide division o! sentiment among party( leaders re- garding the method of campaign best suited to the political situation, aam Penrose has been urging strongly tlut Senator Harding take to the stump, knowing well tho nominee's great power as a campaign speaker. Will H. Hays, chairman of the National Committee, is Bald to have been convinced that tne front porch campaign should be supple- mented by more energetic forms of vottf getting. Many leaders have expressed dissatisfaction with the front porch variety of campaign. They say It is too clew. Few Pilgrimages Planned. Some criticism has been heard that tho party leaders were not lending enthu- siastic support to the front porch cam- paign. It Is said they have made little tffort to organize Important visiting delegations. Only two or three political organizations of consequence havo mado dates. Many requests havo been re- ceived from somIJpublle organizations who wish to visit the Senator. Tho three engagements so far announced are for the Richland County (Ohio) Harding nnd, Coolldgo Club, on Saturday next; Republicans of Wayne county, Ohio, for ednesday, August 4, and the class In rchool administration of Ohio State Uni- versity, for Thursday, Auguit 5. It has taken only a little experience to demonstrate that to duplicate tho fa- mous McKlnley campaign in Canton would be next to impossible. In tho McKlnley days Republicans found little trouble In getting leave of absence from their work, railroad trains were fur- nished free for as many delegations as wished to make the tour nnd thf.re was no limit to campaign funds. Many loyal and enthusiastic Republi- can organizations In many parts of the country have figured out they cannot ffnrl th Drescnt day high cost of travel and loss of time with existing wages to make long tours. For those and many other reasons Senator Har- ding is said to be willing to forego his own convenience and visit those who nre 100 per cent for him but cannot come to Marlon to see or hear him. Mny Go to Paclflc. Details of the amended schedules havo not been worked out completely. It Is said the party council Is considering the advisability of extending the tour to the Pacific coast, but that has not been determined. Tho senator proDaDiy wm go as far as Denver to address the farmers in the agricultural centre at i Kansas City, invade tne wortnweat ana possibly attend the big meeting of the Farmers League In Minnesota; New York State may see the nominee two or three times ; and he probably will go to Boston and other New England cities. Tho Senator y sent to Gov. Coolldire the following telegram: \It is heartening to all America to read your sterling speech or acceptance. It adds to confidence in the Republican Duroose to repossess the people with their Government and It emphasizes my conviction that as you will be asked to mako your official ser vices comport with the second highest place In the Government of tho Re public.\ ANGLO-PERSIA- N PACT SHELVED BY TEHERAN Awaits Assembly and British Commission Has Quit.

POMERENE AIDS SCHEME White House, It Is Said, Will Proclaim Ohioan as De- mocracy's Chief. Bu a Stall Corrtsporident of The Scn and New Yoik HmLr. Datton. Ohio, July 28. Abundant evidence is at hand ht some of H accumulated piecemeal In the ten days since the White House confer- ence, that Gov. Cox is considerably apprehensive because of tho under- standing which is taking a firm hold throughout the country that ho and President Wilson are \absolutely ns one with regard to the great issuo of the League of Nations,\ so stated by Mr. Wilson. The great fear Is that what Is com- ing to be called the \Wilson-Cox- \ pol- icies will be a serious handicap in the election, particularly in view of Cox's own statement on the occasion of the conference that \what ho promised I shall, if elected, endeavor with oil my strength to give.\ In consequence an effort is under way to counteract the 'Impression that is widespread throughout tho United States. A definite propaganda Is about ; to start In the hope of picturing Cox as a freo and Independent leader, capable of doing all his own thinking on im portant International nnd domestic Issues nnd entirely oloof from all unpopular In- - nuence. The first of this scries of efforts at public demonstration of Cox Indcpen-denc- e appeared y In nn attempt to capitalize the conference which the Democratic nominee held yesterday with Senator Atlee Pomercne (Ohio). Sena tor Pomerene, as Is well known, Is one of the Democratic group that voted for the Lodge reservations of the treaty. He Is a member of tho Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Is noted for lack of sympathy with tho Wilson for. elgn policies. Cox nnd Pomerene Tnlk on League It now Is being whispered In quarters where it will do most good that the real purpose of tho conference was a discussion of tho League of No tlons. The announced subject of discus- sion, the use of the Senate campaign fund Investigating committee as a chan- nel for making public all party receipts and disbursements Incidental to tlie Presidential election, Is being rated as secondary. Gov. Cox. It Is explained, wanted to get opinions other than from Mr. Wilson before taking a League of Nations stand In his speech of accept- ance. Tho effort to capitalize the conference In this manner Is causing considerable interest and not a fow broad smiles among politicians who are familiar with the performances of these two leaders of Ohio Democracy and also with tho posltloof Gov, Cox In the treaty fight In tho Senate. About the only things that Senator Pomerene and Gov. Cox have In common Is that they both live In Ohio and belong to the Dem- ocratic party. It Is permissible, perhaps, to recall some history. Pomerene first became a candidate for the United States Senate In 1910, shortly before the popular elec- tion of Senators went Into effect. His chief opponent was Edward Hanley of Dayton, for whom Gov. Cox was cam- paign manager. It was a bitter fight, qnd Pomerene won. xotning mucn nappenea again between Hugo and Thompson Will Appeal to Republican Voters. HARMONY AFTER FIGHT!

By a Stall Correspondent 0 The Sun Aim New Yoik HEtD. Saratoga, July 28. Nathan L. Miller of Syracuse, former Assoclato Judga of the Court of Appeals, was recom- mended y for Governor by the Republican organization of tho State assembled here in unofficial conven- tion. ' Ho won on tho third ballot over a field of five competitors, getting 595 !4 of. tho 1,103 votes. The action Uien waa made unanimous. United States Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., was recommended for renomination by a vote of 988 to 97 for Elon Huntington Hooker, former treasurer of the Progressive National Committee. Eighteen delegates did not vote. This recommendation also woo made unanimous. Mr. Hooker, who had been a candi- date for Governor, did not permit his name to go before tho convention for Governor when ho learned that Mr. Miller had enough votes to win and would accept. He did not authorise the use of his name for Senator. He mado a statement later that hQwould not be a candidate for\ any nomina- tion in the primaries and would \sup- port the convention's nominee for Governor in the interest of a Stat and national victory.\ Thompson Qalts Convention. Senator George F. Thompson of .Niagara withdrew from the conven tion as soon as it had passed a reso- lution to make recommendations. Later he gave out a statement attack- ing Mr. Miller, criticising tho entlr ticket and declaring he would go into tho primaries as a' candidate for the nomination for Governor. Francis M. Hugo, Secrotary of State, who contended in the convention for Its recommendation, after having, been de- feated by Mr. Miller announced ho would stick by his original intention to go before the enrolled Republicans In the primaries. Former Senator Elon R. Brown, at the Instance of the Jefferson county delegation, had moved to mako the Miller recommendation unanimous, but Hugo declared no one from his county had any right to speak for him. The other candidates have acquiesced cheerfully In the action of the Repub- lican representatives here. An entire State ticket was recom- mended by the convention. This is the first time Republicans have taken such action since the direct primary law went Into effect In this State. The Democrats did .It two years ago and elected their Aimougn it ma neen hoped that a recommended ticket would obviate a primary fight, the prospect Is that Thompson and Hugo will make a hot campaign. However, the leaders are satisfied that they have named a winning ticket' \I am mucti plcesed at the action of the convention,\ said Senator Wads-wort- h, as he received the congratula- tions of his friends. Strong Platform Adopted.

After Col. William Hayward, who le New York's negro regiment In Franco, had flayed the Tammany controlled Democratic State organization In his I speech as permanent chairman, and the platform had been adopted this resolu- - i tlon. offered by Philip Eltlnge of Kings- - ton, was adopted: \This convention, representing the Re- publican party of the State of New York, while recognizing the right of any citizen to enter tho primary to be held on September 14, believes that the en- rolled voters of the party will welcome and approve the advice ot this con- - vcntlon ns to candidates for State of fices and United States Senator. \Resolved.
