Efforts to wrest control from tho opposing faction aro being made In a dozen of the largest wards In the city, and feeling batween the followers of both camps Is running high. Aside from the clear cut factional lines, the liquor Influence Is being Injected Into the fight In a manner that threatens to disrupt tho Well laid plans of both factions.

The lines for the political battle have been clearly drawn during tho pant, two months, when charges and counter-charges have been made by both factions, nnd "mud sllhglng" has been Injected Into the campaign almost dally. Tho most.bltter attacks that havo been made, camo from tho faction headed by United States Senator Boles Penrose. Ho has tho assistance of State Senator James P. McNichoI In Philadelphia and the Stato Committee throughout the State. Threats of Imneachment have hen mndo by Penrose-McNichol lieutenants against Governor Brumbaugh, who, with tho Vares and Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown, Is at tho head of tho antl Penrose forces. Mayor Thomas B. Smith, who has been playing on tho side of tho Vares, also has been threatened with pro ceedings to oust him, through a "ripper" to bo Introduced In tho next Legislature ,by tho Penrose forces, because of alleged political activity by the police. The fight has been carried against tho Vares, Brumbaugh and Brown by Senator Penrose, who, llko his predecessor and political preceptor, Matthew Stanley Quay, turned "reformer" and advocated popular measures In order to securo tho support of tho large element of Independent voters. OUST THE CONTRACTORS. Penrose also has openly carried tho fight against the Vares in Philadelphia.' Ho has' declared that the local Issue Is the elim ination of contractors from politics, and tho fight tof the Penrose machine, although It has the active co-operation of Senator McNlchold, who Is himself a big contrac tor. Is being directed along that line. Governor Brumbaugh, throughout the State, has waged his campaign against the Old Guard element in the Organiza tion tttat Is typified by Penrose. Ho has appealed for the support of tho followers of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who swept tho State four years ago. Ho and his political sponsors and backers are pre dicting that another IandsIIdo similar to that of 1912 Will occur noxt Tuesday. The leaders of both factions admit that the contest will be decided In the metro politan districts. Nolther Penrose nor Brumbaugh apparently has been able to arouse the voters' In the country districts, and a light vote Is looked for outside of the cities. A late season for the farmers Is one of the reasons for this prediction, as tho farmers will be loath to leave their Acids for a day to go to the polling 'places. HEAVY REGISTRATION HERE. One of the heaviest yotes ever cast Is expected In tho cities, however, In Phil adelphia more than- 30,0,000 electors are Qualified to participate In tho primaries. This Is tho largest number of registered voters In the history of t,he city. Tho voters throughout the Stafe must fmake between 40 and 48 marks on their primary ballots. In Philadelphia 44 marks wilt be necessary to vote the en tiro tickets and tor the two lodn bills that are urt for .approval of tho voters. There will be nominated at the primary of each party the State's candidate for President of the United States, one United States Senator, A Stato Treasurer, Audi tor General, Justice of the Supreme HCourt, four Congressmen-at-Large, a Congress man In every Congressional district, Stato Senators In the odd-numbered districts and an entirety new State House of Rep resentatives. There will bo eleated at the primary 12 delegatea-at-large nnd 12 alternate dele-gates-at-large to the Democratic National Convention, six detegates-at-Iarge and six alternate delegates-at-large to the Wash ington Party National Convention,. 13 delegates-at-large and 12 alternate delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention. In .addition to this, each party will elect delegates to the respective national conventions In each congressional district. The factional fight In the State centres around the contest for the Republican nomination tor Auditor General, State Senator Charles A. Snyder Is tho. Pen rose candidate, while Charles A, Ambler, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has the support 6tthe Governor, tho Vares and Mayor Smith. PENROSE BACKING SNYDER. Snyder has the active support of Sen. ator Penrose and the Republican State Committee throughout the State, and Sen ator McNichoI In Philadelphia. In Scran, tqn, he baa the. support of the men who are conducting' Brumbaugh's campaign. Governor Brumbaugh, th Vares in Phil adelphia, Magee nnd Fllpn. In Pittsburgh, and tho local option forces all over the Stats are supporting Ambler, Harmon M. Kephart has little opposi tion for State Treasurer on the R01 publican ticket He is classed as a Pen. rose follower and has the support of that faction.

Premier Asqulth planned to continue his conferences today with civil authorities nt Dublin, with whom he conversed yester day, A delegation of Dublin cltlzent Is waiting to sen the Prima Minister with n plea for lenient treatment of revolu tionists deported to England nnd a request that thoso upon whom onjy light punish ment Is Inflicted ba permitted to return to their families ns soon ns possible. It was reported In Dublin that Premier Asqulth would Issue a proclamation within n few days nddrcssed to tho IrUh people. With 16 leaders of the revolution ex ecuted, belief was expressed today that thero would bo no more death sentences carried out. It Is also likely that a proc lamation will bo Issued within the noxt few days restoring civil law In Ireland, There Is considerable high focllng pre vailing In southern and western Irish counties over the Btern measures sanc tioned by the British Government And It will probably bo some tlmo before this Is eliminated entirely, but members of tho government strongly defend tho dras tic policy which was put Into effect. A largo number of Dubttti residents nrrcsled on suspicion havo been released from prison as tho remit of Premier As qulth's visit to tho Irish capital, accord ing to reports. Several Government employes wero nmong tho men released.

In two campaign meetings held In his home district, McNichoI Iaqt night at tacked tho Governor, Incidentally giving his hearers to understand that he himself was contemplating retirement from tho State" Senate four years hence. In his attack upon tho Governor the Senator said: "If any man had the nerve and temerity to Introduce the ambitious schoolmaster's name to the Republican National Con vention he would be laughed out of Chicago." Senator McNichoI took the voters of his home district Into his confidence, too, and permitted them, to Infer that this was the last term ho would seek In the Senate. He asked them, as a special favor, to be sure to mark "McNlcJioI'a name," although he Is unopposed for renomlnatlon. Then to this request he tagged this prophecy; "I shall serve you faithfully for the next four years aa I have In the last 1Z, and when the four years are up I shall probably be seen back here again, asking you to support some young man for the place, in order that he may.proat by the wider experience of a term in the upper branch." "This attack on Senator Penrose," he said, "comes from the mistake that was made when an ambitious schoolteacher was taken from his olassroom and made Governor, He has been the topi of a coterie of men who have cloaked their own designs behind Brumbaugh ; men who have never been out In the open and taken the blow, but who run at the first sign of a bullet and the first show of a fight. "The massive schoolmaster, aa a candl. da(e for President on the square, would make this State a laughing stock. Sup port Penrose and give him delegates that wilt hold up his hands when he goes to Chicago to help to choose the Republican candidate for President."

BORDER BANDITS RAID RANCH; BURN SCHOOL Continued from 1'oie One looking toward troop withdrawal, but his task, according to persistent statements, will bo hopeless. In order to get first-hand knowledge of nny contemplated bandit notion, agents or tne Department of Justice have been massed along the border. They are work ing through Mexican agents, who keep them advised of all suspicious gather ings. Special agents also are watching certain revolutionary leaders In San Diego, Los Angelos, New Orleans, Galveston and El Paso. Orders have been given to arrest all plotters as soon as the evidence will warrant. A complete Bystem of co-operation with General Funston, commanding the troops along tho border, has been ar ranged by orders of Attorney General Gregory. All Information gathered Is sent In duplicate to Funston. at San Antonio, and to the Department here. Officials here believe that when General Obregon has the opportunity, personally, to confer with General Carrana he may be able to arrange a compromise between the two governments.

' Tlil.1 belief Is based largely on the In dignation felt In Germany over tho U boat commander's deception- His roport was Implicitly believed until the American Government presented conclusive evidence showing that tho Channel packet was tor pedoed. In view of this evidence Germans feel that they were put' In a rather hu miliating position. It Is not overstating tho case to say that the submarine com mander's deception caURcd as much Indig nation In Berlin ns. It did In Washington. Tho German Government, deslrlnir to avoid a break with America at all costs, hns taken two important steps In the last fortnight to Improve the relations between tho two nations. Tho German concessions In the submsilne matter wore one. A quiet mocmont to squelch Teutonic plot ters and Teutonic propagandists In the United Statos and antl-Amerlcan propa gandists In Germany has been under way for several days. THREATS AGAINST GERARD.

Tho letters were Inspired by newspaper Insinuations that In some way ho "tipped off" tho Sinn Fein outbreaks In Dublin In advance to tho B'Usli Government. Somo of tho writers hk j ' mentioned, also, facts alleged to have been brought out through the arrest In Now York of Wolf von Igol former secre tary of Captain yon Papen, ahd the con fession of Horst on der Goltz, alleged German agent. Though tho German' Government hns disclaimed nit responsibility for the acts of bomb plotters In tho United States Chancellor von Bethmann-Holweg believes that somo sort of drastic action should bo taken to convince Americans that Ger many has nothing to do with tho plotters' operations. Conferences on this subject hac been going on at Berlin all this week. I have heard, for instance, that Franz -von Rlnteln, alleged German plotter, will bo court-martialed If he ever returns ,to Germany. Although officials refrain from expressing nny opinion of the guilt of the accused men, they declare em phatically that their acts are without tha sanction of tho German Government or tho Kaiser. BERLIN'S NEW ANXIETY. Berlin Is chiefly worried Just now over tho possibility that some submarine com mander may accidentally torpedo with out warning a merchant vessel In the be lief that he Is attacking a transport, thus bringing a new submarine crisis with the United States. Tho Kaiser, Chancellor von Bothmnnn-Hollweg and Admiral von Heltzendorff are particularly anxious that the submariners take no chances that may Involve Germany with the United States. If the now orders to submarlno comman ders could bo published. It Is said that they would convince tho skeptical that Ger many Is aa much concerned ns America in preventing accidents In the futrc.
