BAN JOHNSON AGAIN VEXED
American League President Will In
vestigate Gambling in Boston Parks
CHICAGO, Aug. 31. President B. B.
Johnson, of the American League, Is ex
ercised over tho stories from Boston that
gambling Is flourishing unchecked In tho
ball parks there. Ho said ho would not
have paid any nttentlon to tho reports
had not the American League park been
mentioned, nnd now Ban Is going after
the be.ttors with renewed vigor. He Is
going East tomorrow and may start
something as oon as gets to the sea
board. "I think that the charge that there Is
gambling tit tho American, League park
in Boston Is unjust," said Mr. Johnson.
"Wo slopped gambling there a few years
ngo, nnd we have done tho same In every
city In the circuit. Wo arrested 49 in
the Philadelphia grandstand at one time,
which showed that wo were In earnest
about the crusade."

SMITH WILL NOT RUN
WITHOUT PERMISSION
0FG0VERN0R,HESAYS
Service Commissioner, Sought
by Organization ns "IJar-
mony" Candidate, Won't
Say Yes or No
REFERS TO AGREEMENT
Tho clement of uncertainty In the po
litical situation was Increased this aftcr
non when Tubllo Service Commissioner
Thomas B. 8mlth announced ho was un
decided whether he would file nomination
petitions for the Mayoralty or not.
Ho referred to the correspondence be
twecn Governor Brumbaugh and himself
at tho time he was appointed to hi pres
ent position, In which nn agreement wa
made that the new commlloncr would
not run for ahy high office without the
Governor' "full approval." Mr. Smith
snld that he had been asked to sign his
nomination papers, but refused, because
ho wns not In touch with tho Governor.
By wny of comment ho snld:
"I cannot say whether or not I will
sign the nomination papers. You will re
member that I put something In my let
ter to tho Governor and I certainly will
not go Into tho Mayoralty contest with
out his npproval. I hnvo not been In
touch with frie Governor and have no
reason to believe that I will hear from
him. I was approached and asked to
sign the nomination papers, but refused."
with nil nrenarntlons made for another
bitter factlonnl fight similar to that of
four years ngo, tho Republican Organiza
tion, from the leaders down to tho division
workers, Is In n state of unprecedented
excitement today, ns a final rush Is being
made to illo nomination papers before tho
tlmo for filing ends nt 6 o'clock this eve
ning. Since Senators Penrose and McNIchol
suddenly discovered yesterday that they
are facing a fight that may surpass that
of 1911. there haa been consternation In
tho antl-Varo camp, while Penrose and
McNIchol have been trying frantically to
fotm their battle lines so as to be ready
when tho first shot Is ilred In the Organ
ization fight.
Nomination papers will bo filed for
threo antl-Vare candidates for the mayor
alty nomination between today and Fri
day two of these candidates will with
draw, leaving the final selection of Pen
rose nnd McNIchol In the field to fight tho
nomination of Congressman Varc, accord
ing to present plans ot the antl-Varo
leaders.
MOORE-ROTAN-EAnLE.
The threo candidates from whom the
final selection of tho man who will oppose
Congressman William S. Vare for tho
Organization nomination will bo made nro
Congressman J. Hampton Moore, Dis
trict Attorney Samuel P. Rotan and
George II. Earle, Jr.
Moore was In conference with Penrose
and McNIchol yesterday and the Pen-rose-McNlchol
support was offered htm.
Ho reserved his decision and will an
nounce it probably today. In the mean
time, nomination papers for him will be
filed with the County Commissioners. He
has tho powerful backing of tho .manu
facturers, y
Tho stock of District Attornoy Rotan
rose several points over night, but per
sons In close touch with tho situation
today regarded his candidacy more as
a threat than anything else. It was
pointed out that by sending Rotan Into
the fight Penrose and McNIchol would
lose the Influence of the District Attor
ney's ofllce, except for a short tlmo dur
ing the campaign, and would face the
almost certain event of the appointment
of a Vare man to fill Rotan's unex
pired term.
An effort was made to find the District
Attorney today that he could sign his
papers, but It waa reported that he was
out of tho city,
Frjends of Earle will file paper for him
today, and aro "hopeful" that he will be
selected th lead tho fight against Con
gressman Vare.
BTILL TALK HARMONY.
While every arrangement Is being made
for a fight.' the Ponrose-McNIchoI leaders
nro still talking harmony, althoush not as
enthusiastically as during the last month.
Petitions for two "harmony" candi
dates will be filed today, in the forlorn
hope that Congressman Vare will with
draw at the last minute and the Vnres
will unlto with the other Organization
bosses behind a "harmony" candidate.
Tho two "harmony" possibilities nre Pub
lic Service Commissioners Smith and
Monaghant,.
Congressman Varo filed his nomination
papers last Friday, and Is a cnndldato
until ha withdraws. The last day for
withdrawing Is next Friday, and tho
County Commissioners havo ruled that
notices of withdrawal must be In their
hniids by 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon.
If Congressman Varo does not withdraw
before that time his name will go on the
ballot, and the Organization fight will be
on.

possibility of Congressman Vare's with
