DELAWARE DEMOCRATS
IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Their Votes Causing a Flurry Among
Politicians ns to Intent.
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 30.-Dld the
Democrats who voted at the Republican
primaries and assisted In nominating the
legislative candidates In a number of
districts Intend to vole for thorn In the
election, or was there a trick In It? This
Is tho question which Is now agitating
some of the Republicans, nnd they have
not found an answer. It Is known that
In this city a largo number of Demo
crats cither voted or attempted to vote
nt the primaries In certain districts. In
one district tho voto of one Democrat
was challenged, and there came near be
ing trouble.
In some of tho country districts It Is
alleged the same thlhg occurred and some
doilaro that the "wet" people went be
hind the Democrats nnd assisted In mak
ing tho nominations. Some Republicans
nrp Inclined to think tho thing wa a
trick, but others believe tho Democrats
art- tired of their own party on account
of the hard times and Intend to voto the
Republican ticket. For that reason they
took part In the Republican primaries.
Under tho primary election laws of this
State a man who registers within a cer
tain time has a right to voto at the pri
maries which ho chooses, but canhot voto
at more than ono primary. This year
tho Democrats had comparatively few
contosts for county offlcea and for mem
bers of the Legislature, and It Is this
which causes the doubt.

ELECTION PROBE REFUSED
Judgo Johnson Dismisses Delawaio
County Grand Jury's Information.
MEDIA, Pa., Sept. 30. Judgo Johnson
lato yesterday afternoon refused to
permit tho Delawaro County Grand Jury
to probe allogcd election frauds In tho
Sixth AVard, Chester. The Grand Jury
camo before tho courts with information
that it had been furnished affidavits that
a chain system had been worked In the
Sixth Ward, Chester. That Is to say,
the first voter would go Into a booth with
a blank ballot which he would deposit
In tho ballot box. The legal ballot he
would take away and this would be
marked for tho next voter, who In turn
retained the official ballot handed him.
In this way ballots of many voters could
bo Illegally marked.
In refusing to allow the Grand Jury to
Investigate, Judgo Johnson said:
"Under the law members consider only
such matters ns are regularly brought
before It or which come within tho per
sonal knowledge of the members."
Tho Grand Jury then submitted Its re
port and was discharged for the term.
PENROSE IGNORED
BY THE REPUBLICANS
OF CHESTER COUNTY
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 30. Politics held
the centre of the stago In Michigan today
when the fall conventions of the throo big
political parties Democratic, Republican
and Progrosslve-nssombled. The Demo
crats held their sessions here, tho G. O.
P. forces met In Kalamazoo, while the
Bull Moosers hold forth at Bay City.
Each party was to make Its nomina
tions for the offices of Secretary of State,
Auditor Genoral, Attorney General, State
Treasurer and Stato Land Commissioner,
In addition to selecting now Stato central
committeemen and drafting platforms.
Interest centered In the Democratic con
ventions, whero tho long standing feud
between the "Wilson-Democrats" and tho
Wood-Shields faction threatened trouble.
Stato Chairman Shields declared early to
day that the "organization" wing would
be In complete control, although tho "Pro
gressives" promlsod to mnko a last-ditch
fight for tho seating of their contesting
delegation from Wayne (Dotrolt), Cal
houn and Delta Counties. Success In this
fight would give them control of the
convention nnd subsequent control of tho
party organization In Michigan.
There -was every Indication that the
Republican gathering In Kalamazoo
would bo scrcno and peaceful. Tho ono
chance of a serious clash apparently
rested In the possibility that Chase S.
Osborn, tho nominee for Governor, and
tho party leaders might not agree on
platform planks. Osborn several months
ago went on record as favoring the
recall of judicial decisions, but when
this Issue threatened to stir up Internal
strife in the party, ho announced that
ho would mako no effort to dictate his
radical views into the party platform.
Contests for places on tho varlouj
party tickets were comparatively few
and mostly unimportant.

WASHINGTON HOPEFUL
Brynn Thinks Prospects for Settle
ment Better Than Ever.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-Advlces from
Mexico City and Chihuahua, General
Villa's headquarters, brought assurances
to the Washington Administration that
the conference at Torreon today between
Villa and representatives of Provisional
President Carranza would nvert the up
heaval In Mexico threatened by Villa's

pence nt last to tho republic.
Dispatches from Mexico carried the
news that Villa, on his way to meet the

clare tho prospects for tho end of strife
In Mexico were brighter than ever.
It was expected by the Washington
Government that tho conference would"
agree on a Provisional President prob
ably Fernando Igleslas Cnlderon so
that his name could be placed before
the convention soon to be held In Mex
Ico City to set up a now Government for
the country.

A man wanted for murder nnd rfatd to
have been captured by detectives of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com
pany has mysteriously disappeared while
en route from Twelfth and Market streets
to City Hall, and, according to Informa
tion received at the inllroad detecthe's
otllce, the only person who can tell of
his whereabouts In the president of the
Philadelphia nnd Rending Railway.
Some time lata last night or early this
morning the official In charge of De
tective Headquarters In City Hall sot a
Vhone call. Said a voice:
"I am a detective of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway, and I have a man
wanted for murder who wns arrested
at the Reading Terminal a few moments
ago while In tho act of boarding a train.
What shall I do with him?"
''Bring him up here," was the reply.
Later the City Hall men looked at
their watches. "Strange that fellow
doesn't show up," they said. "Wonder
what Is keeping him?" Still later a dis
appointed Reception Committee decided
the alleged mirdeicr must be atlil at
larse.

WEST CHESTER, Sept. SO.-Senator
Penrose cannot but feel that something
has gono wrong when he learns that the
county Republican Executive Commit
tee, at Its meeting here yesterday, for
got to adopt resolutions In behalf of his
candidacy and proclaim the great service
he has performed for the nation, as has
always been the custom of the commlt
toe when In session In the past.
When one of tho committeemen hinted
sotto voice that a resolution be adopted
pledging tho Senator tho support of Ches
ter County Republicans, he was quietly
told that there would be no resolution
offered.
In tho meeting room there Is a large
portrait of Doctor Brumbaugh, and also
ono of Mr. Penrose. At the close of the
proceedings, a largo group took a stand
before the former's portrait and said nice
tilings of him. telling each other what
they meant to do on November 3, In see
ing that tho Doctor got the full votes
of their respective precincts. The
portrait of Penrose was unnoticed.
Larry Kyre, always head and front of
meetings of tho County Committee, woe
present, and In a few words, fewer than
ho has ever known to utter on such oc
casions before, pointed to the great vic
tory In store for the G. O. P. nnd urged
every member to activity from now until
the election. There was some applause
on his rallying note, but It wasn't of the
whole-souled order that was once heard
In tho committee, when Mr. Eyre called
tho faithful to the party colors.
The meeting wns decldedy short In en
thusiasm, aside from a warm feeling for
Doctor Brumbaugh. Chairman Fred Mac
Donald announced that Doctor Brum
baugh would come Into the county be
tween now and the closo of the cam
paign and he would speak nt several
places, and this announcement was met
with real applause.
VANCE M'CORMICK PAYS
UNHERALDED VISIT TO CITY
Calls at Headquarters of Washington
Party Where He Is Not Recognized.
Unheralded and apparently unexpected,
Vance C. McCormlck, Democratic nominee
for Governor, who was recently indoised
by the State Committee of the Wash
ington party, stepid Into the State
Headquarters of the Washington party,
on the twelfth floor of tho Real Eatato
Trust Building, this afternoon and In
quired for A. Kevin Detrlch. Washing
ton party Stato Chairman,
A stenographer, failing to recognize Mr.
McCormlck, asked:
"And what Is ou business with Mr.
Detrlch?"
The explanation that the visitor was
the candidate 'whom the Washington
party was supporting for Governor
brought an apology from the worried
fctenugrapher and also the information
that Sir. Detrlch was "out to lunch."
Mr. McCormlck said that he would be
back later in the afternoon to see Mr.
Detrlch. The nature of the business
which brought him to Philadelphia so
suddenly and the matters which might
bo discussed in the "conference" with
tho Washington party State Chulnnati
Mr. McCormlck declined to state.
He seemed very reticent, and only
stated that he had ariived hero from
Harrlsburg shortly after noon today and
that he would leave for Pittsburgh about
I o'clock this afternoon. Regarding his
prospects of election he expr-ed hiin

Letters From Democratic
City Committee Viewed
With Suspicion as Product
of Bipartisan Machine.
Federal employes In this city believe
that a secret investigation to determine
the political affiliation of every person
employed In the various Federal de
partments hero is being conducted by
agents from Washington. There is lit
tle possibility, however, of tho results
of the Investigation being made public,
tho employes say, since one of the first
things that will be uncovered will be
the attempts of the "Old Guard" Demo
cratic City Committee to levy political
assessments upon tho Federal employes.
Letters requesting substantial and
prompt contributions to the Democratic
campaign fund have been received by
nearly all the employes In the Postofllce,
the Custom House and the Internal
Revenue departments within the last
two weeks. The letters Btate that the
City Commltteo Is the legally constituted
organization of the Democratic party In
Philadelphia.
"Despite the force of their declara
tion," said one of the Postofllce em
ployes this afternoon, we have not for
gotten threats made by the 'Legally con
stituted City Committee;' when Ryan
lost the nomination for Governor. We
feel that to contribute to the bi-partisan
City Commltteo would be about tho same
as to h-nd tho money to Penrose. The
two have worked hand In hand before,
and we will have to see very conclusive
proof before we will believe that tho
City Committee and Penrose are not
secretly allied in this campaign.
"The one sentence In the letter, 'the
committee Is the legally constituted
organization of the party In this city,'
may delude a few of the Federal em
ployes Into making contributions to Pen
rose, but that number will be few."
The letters nre signed by B. Gordon
Bromley, ns chairman of the committee;
John O'Donnell, as chairman of tho Organ
ization Committee, and Edward F. Bennls,
as treasurer.

POINT IN DELAWARE
LEGISLATIVE MIXUP
Four Members Declared Eli
gible to Sit in Assembly.
House to Decide Status of
Two Others.
DOVER, Del., Sept. SO.-Attomey Gen
eral Joslnli O. Wolcott and Code Com
missioners Herbert II. Ward and T. liay
nnl Itclsel. to whom was referred the
question of eligibility of six members
to sit In tho special session, today sub
mitted a report to the Ocneral Assembly.
They declared that no technicalities
surrounded the right to sit of Senator
Harris and representatives McDonald and
Stoeckol, and Speaker llolcomb.
In the cases of Representatives Cooper
nnd Swan, who aro charged with being
dual officeholders, they reported that there
was doubt, but that tho House, under
the Constitution, was tho Judgo of tho
eligibility of its members.
After an hour's skirmishing between
tho Democrats and Republicans, the eligi
bility of Representatives Cooper and Swan
was referred to a commltteo of five. The
Democrats control tho committee.
Representative Cooper, of Wilmington,
resigned on Monday as Inspector of drugs
and chemicals In tho Philadelphia Cus
tom HoUbe.
llcpresentntlvo Swan Is postmaster nt
Delaware City. Although ho had In
formed legislators of both patties ns late
as lust night that ho did not Intend to
resign, Speaker llolcomb announced that
ho had seen Mr. SwanVresIgnatlon. Mr.
Swan did not attend tho session today.
Representatives Swan and Cooper nre
Democrats. Should tho commltteo of five
to whom their eligibility was submitted
throw the matter to a vote In tho House,
the Democrats could seat the two by a
mujorlty of five votes.
Ex-Attorney- General Ward, who read
the opinion, representing the attorney
general, said that the fact that the Fed
eral offlco holding members have resigned
would not qualify them to sit In tho spe
cial session.
Ho cmphaslred, however, that tho
Houso alone was the Judge of Its roll
of members and that no tribunal could
question Its acts. In explaining the
drafting of the opinion, Mr. Ward told
Iho legislators that a conference with
tho State Judges had been held and that
th reports embodied the unanimous view
of ll members of the bench.
Contests had been launched against
Speaker llolcomb and Representatives
Btoeckel and McDonald and Senator
Harris by Republicans, because of minor
technicalities surrounding their rights to
serve. Speaker Holcomb, secretary to
Senator Saulsbury, Is secretary of tho
Senate Committee on Coast and Insular
Surveys. Harris has been postmaster at
Glafccow, but resigned after his election!
tho other Representatives had moved from
their election districts
Tho Attorney General and Code Com
missioners ruled that Speaker Holcomb's
rolo In Washington could not be con
strued ns a Federal position, but that he
wns mero'y holding nn outside office.
The committee which will decide
whether Cooper nnd Swan should forfeit
their seats Ik composed of Representatives
Moonfy. Oweni,, Hammond, Grantlnnd nnd
Poilc. The first three aro Democrats nnd
the latter Republicans.
