Early morning reports received from
various sections of the State indicate
that a heavy vote is being polled, and
thnt Ambler is running well ahead of
Snyder for Auditor General. We now
feel confident that Ambler will come to
Philadelphia With 60,000 majority and
that he will lend Snyder by like figures
in the city. The coal regions are turn
ing out strong for Ambler and he is re
ceiving n tremendous vote from the
miners. Early reports from every pre
cinct in Montgomery County indicate
that Ambler will have at least 12,000
majority in his native county. Alle
gheny will give Ambler a substantial
majority, while the Speaker will sweep
Lancaster, Chester, Berks and other
eastern counties.
Statement issued by T. L. lican, chair
man Montgomery Countu Ambler Com
mittee: HA1UHSBURG, May IS. Controlling or
ganizations of both tho lending political
parties In Pennsylvania went to the prl
mnry polls todny to defend their titles.
Tho movement to wrest the Republican
leadership from Boles Penrose, Benlor
United Stntes Senator, is headed by Gov
ernor Martin G. Brumbnugh. He Is backed
by the Philadelphia faction controlled by
Congressman William S. Vnro and his
younger brother, State Senator Edwin H.
Vara,
On tho Democratic side the leadership
of National Committeeman A. Mitchell
Patmer, former Congressman, Is challenged
by Congressman Michael Liebel, of Erie.
Tho Statewide primary law enacted In
1913 was used In a Presidential campnlgn
for the first time todny. Only three Presi
dential candldntos nre on the preference
ballot. Tho law allows a candldnto for
national delegate to pledge himself on the
ballot only to support "the popular choice"
for President In his district.
President Wlson Is unopposed.
Governor Brumbaugh is the only Repub
lican candidate for President. Not nil of
tho "Brumbaugh candidates" for delegate
are pledged. None of tho Penrose candi
dates Is pledged, Penrose Is making his
play for 76 unlnstructed delegates.
Allan L. Benson, Socialist, Is the other
presidential candidate.
Palmer Is on the ballot as a candidate for
re-election aa Democratic national com
mitteeman. His party Is tho only one in
Pennsylvania which has rules compelling
election of a national committeeman at the
polls today. The other parties attend to
that at the nntlonal conventions.
Congressman Llcbel personally is running
against Palmer.
Only tho Democrats have a contest for
the nomination for United States Senator
to succeed George T. Oliver, of Pittsburgh.
Judge EIUb L. Orvls, of Centro County, Is
the Palmer candidate ; Judge Eugene C.
Bonnlwcll, of Philadelphia, tho Llebcl can
didate. Philander C. Knox, of Pittsburgh.
ex-United States Senator, ex-United States
Attorney General and ex-United Stntes Sec
retary of State, will get tho Republican
nomination. Mahlon H. Meyers, of Johns
town, will get the Progressive nomination.
All Progressive delegates will go to the
Chicago convention unlnstructed. There
nre only 45 of them, due to different rules
from what the Republicans and Democrats
havo,
STATE COMMITTEE CONTROL,
Both tho Penrose nnd. Palmer organiza
tions declare that they will control the
State Committee elected today, consisting
of 113 membera under the State law. Pen
roso claims 54 candidates pledged to him
to havo no opposition. Palmer claims flfty
seven. A light vote Is predicted. Voting will
require much time. On tho Republican bal
lot, for Instance, the voter must pick 12
men for dclegate-at-largo from a list of 26
names, arranged nlphabetlcally, with no
thing whateer on the ballot to distinguish
Brumbaugh men from Penrose men. The
same Is true concerning other ofllces and
other ballots.

sued by Magistrate Dumm, before whom

Senator Vare, nftcr n tour of all tho
South Philadelphia wards, shortly after
noon, predicted a clean nweep for Brum

Vnro ticket downtown. He said that In the
39th Ward tho Penrose-McNIchol machine
has collapsed, and added that the "other
outfit," the Seger-Tralncr combination, has
not been nble to make good their boast.
"I have Just completed a tour of the
wards downtown," snld Senator Vare.
"Brumbaugh and Ambler will have a la'rger
mnjorlty than any candidates at any elec

1911, when ho practically had a unanimous
vote.
"I get the same Information from McKln
ley, leader In the 33d Ward, uptown, and
from Senator Patton, Harry Reaston and
Harry ,5Iackey In West Philadelphia.
"Tho wards are piling up a big vote for
our candidates and for the loans, there.
"In the. northeast, the Mnrtln-Lnne-Vnrc

"Tho cntlro Penrose-McNIchol Ward
Committee In tho 39th Ward camo over
and visited our committee last night and
offered their services for today's work and

with the other outfit. Thcro aro now only
three Penrose-McNIchol watchers left out
of 500 In the 39th Ward. There were 22 of
tho Penrose-McNIchol committeemen who
came over.
"There has been a good heavy early vote
downtown. Tho majority Is not only being
rolled up, but It will bo bigger thnn the
usual one. For personal as well as politi

of the Scger-Tralner people that they were

strong opposition in Luzerne County and
the entire anthracite field today, as a result
of the campaign of Governor Brumbaugh
last week. As Luzerne County gave Theo

the last time, the Brumbaugh mimagera
were hopeful today of making serious In
roads against the old Republican "ma

hard battle and had the polls well manned
to overcome tho lack of Interest apparent
among the average voters. The Penrose
managers expected to win three to one
on the strength of the balloting during t.he

NVASHINGTO.V, May 16. General
Scott's formal report on his hordcr confer
ences with Oencrnl Obregon, laid hefore
the Cabinet today, led olllclalt.' here to be
lieve a satisfactory working agreement
virtually had been renched between tho
tJnllcd States and tho tie facto Govern
ment. Kxcept for slight uneasiness over the sit
uation nttTamplfco, tho Administration ad
mittedly felt that tlie Mexlcnn situation, for
tho time nt least, had simmered to the snmo
claBS with tho German situation. Time
alone, olllclals believed, was needed com
pletely to clarify border conditions.
One fact todny stood out above all others
ns a result of the Scott-Obrogon parleys.
This "was Scott's positive belief that Obre
gon hat becomo convinced that tho punl-
tie expedition has but a single purpose
ending of border banditry.
NO CHANGt: OV TOLICY.
Cabinet members felt the conference,
taken as a whole, showed a desire on tho
part of both Carranza nnd Obregon to ns
slst the American expedition ns far as they
might.
Nothing In tho problem as It now stands
gave tho Cabinet cause for alarm, though
certain odlclnls said It wns Impossible to
telt wlint tho, political aquation within
Mexico may develop.
Beforo tho meeting It was said there
would bo no change In policy townrd Mexico.
Tho Administration Intends that tho
foices shall complete their task of running
down the Vllllstns In northern Mexico, and
If posslblo of killing tho BocnilllaR and
Glenn Springs raiders before nny withdrawal
move Is made. This may be accomplished
somewhat earlier than anticipated by rea
son of tho promised Carranza assistance.
Tho Tamplco situation Is giving olllclals
uneasiness, though thero Is ns yet nothing
to bhow that Americans will bo In physical
danger.
obri;gon offers men.
In substance General Scott's report was:
That General Obregon camo to tho
conference with some misgivings about
American Intentions In Mexico, but had
gono away convinced that ending bor
der banditry Is tho solo purpose of tho
expedition.
That Obregon had agreed to provldo
10,000 of the most controllable Mexican
soldiers under General Trevlno to
patrol tho Pnrral and Big Bend dis
tricts. That Obregon liad agreed the Big
Bend Carrnnzlptas In Pulpit Pass,
which recently gavo army men some
uneasiness, would not movo back of
General Pershing's line.
Thnt the Carranzlstns would pursue
tho Bonulllas and Glenn Springs raid
ers and attempt to deliver tho Ameri
can captives safely.
Scott's report said that In his Judgment
tho situation was now bettor than It had
been for weeks. For a time, It Is ad
mitted, tho situation wns none too bright,
but Scott now believes tho nffalrs In good
shape, particularly In view of tho Obregon
pledges, nnd tho fact that Obregon now
knows fully the American viewpoint and
Intentions.
General Scott resumed his duties as chief
of staff of tho army. He discussed the
Mexican situation informally with news
paper men nfter ho reached his offlce. but
would say nothing nbout his conferences
with Obregon. stating that he had made
his report t his superiors.
Villa's present whereabouts are not
known to any one In olther the American
or Mexican do facto Governments, General
Scott declared. IXo said General Obregon
insisted Vila was dead, though, ho ad
mitted, ho had no nctual proof of that fact.
General Scott fuhthcr tald that he believed
General Obregon wns talking In good faith
when ho said ,ho believed Villa Is dead.
