George t. Porter In Lu Lu Temple, that
something more complex than n "Porter
' ' boom" for the mayoralty had developed.
A boom for Congressman William S. Vara
for the same place was launched In tho
midst of the enthusiastic prnlse of Mr.
porter,
Tho dinner was given under the nus
pices of oulclals and employes of tho
' Department of Public Safety. "Every
body" was there. Mayor Ulankcnburg
pat with Senators McNIchol nnd Vnre.
Congressman Vnre wns there, too, but
neither of the Vnrcs nor McNIchol spoke.
It was left to Assistant District Attorney
, Joseph P. Rogers to spring the surprise
of the evening.
"Wo of South Philadelphia," ho said,
"still feel that wo have mayoralty timber
In South Philadelphia."
Issuing from n Vnre stalwart In tho
silence of tho Vnres on an occasion' on
which rivalry was Intenso nmong tho
"harmony" diners to say. something nlco
iboUt Mr. Porter, this statement sounded
almost HUo n clinllcngc.
The P.ov. Thomas W. Dnvls, chapialn of
the State Senate, had Just declared that
Mr. Porter would be "Just as efficient as
Mayor as ho had been ns Director of
Public Safety." Mr. Rogers took this up.
"I was surprised to near Mr, Davis
wpport the boom for Director Porter to
night' ho said, "because Dr. Davis comes
from downtown." Then ho spoko of that
mayoralty timber In South Philadelphia.
Mayor Blankenburg made a speech
ful of witty allusions to the Organiza
tion men that sat near him, and they
seemed to enjoy It. He welcomed a
"Lexow" Investigation, he said, but
wquld prefer a Catlln affair, as ho
wanted to let tho cat out of tho bag.
"I should Indeed bo honored," he said,
"If my two friends, Senators McNIchol
and Vare, would consult with me about
my successor. I can guarantee them,
If they do, that I will name a man (In
dicating Porter) under whom they will
get ns square a deal as they have had
under me."
The opening speech was made by
Frank I. Itelszncr, president of tho Mar
ket Street Merchants' Association. Noth
ing would suit business men better, ho
said, than to have Senator McNIchol
nomlnnto Director Porter for Mnyor.

Organized to Steal Cars for Purpose;
of Collecting Insurance.
ATLANTIC CITY, May M.-Charges of
Captain of Detectives Richard Whalen
that automobile owners In Philadelphia

chines for half of the Insurance.

Tho document Is In no wny tut ulti
matum, but It Is stated on the highest
authority that Ub meaning cannot bo mis
taken. It contains no threat, but tho In
forenco Is plain that unless the men re

thnt tho statement Is coming.
Tho announcement of this position will
como next week from President Wilson
himself. It Is emphasized thnt tho Presi
dent Is not considering nrmed Interven
tion yet, but If urgent measures should
become necessary thoso who know his

able bearing on tho presidential contest
