Tljo Brumbaugh Campaign Committee
laflt night Issued tho following statement,
mppiemanting that put out during the day:
,At least 4t of the 76 delcgir.es from
" Pennsylvania tp the llepubllean Na
tional Convention chosen ul the pri
maries qlectlon on Tuesday are pledged
tp Qovernor Brumbaugh. These 41 del
egates arc bound to the Uovernur
either by specific pledges In writing or
' by personal promises of support
neturns rccelvejl up to tonight are
' Incomplete, but It Is the opinion of the
commute for a reunited Hepuhllcan
party, however, that the number of del
egates pledged to the Governor will he '
Increased by later and more complete
returns.
At least 6 of the 12 delegatesat
largo favorable to the Governor were
elected. Tho returns show that 8 of
the 12 district delegates In Philadelphia
pledged to support tho Governor were
chosen, while 5 of the & district dele
t gates In Allegheny County will stand
by hfm. Throughout the rest of the
State 22 or more district delegates
pledged to the Governor were chonen.
Lafcan and Scott, supported by the Vnrc-
Brumbaugh faction, are said to have been
nominated as Congrcssmen-ut-large.
If tho claim that the Governor has u ma
jority of the delegates Is home out by the
offlctat count his name will le presented to
th Chicago convention as a candidate for
President. Just .who will be selected to
make the nomination speech Is unknown,
and thJ Governor will not dlscustt the uues
tlon until tho result of the election Is
known. It has been suggested th.it Attorney
General Brown may attend tho convention
' en a proxy for the purposo of naming the
Governor.
RETUHNS 1AKUUX TO BIS TOO !,ATE.
If the County Commissioners of tho State
are as slow In making their returns as .they
were two years ago after tho primaries and
-again last year, when tho ballot was com
paratively small. It may be that tho Sec
retary of the Commonwealth cannot cer
tify the names of the delegates In time for
the Republican and Progressive conventions.
Two years ago, It was necessary for the
State Committees to meet Informally and
postpone the time of the meetings, as the
law provides that the State Committees
ball meet three weeks after tho primaries.
With the unusual Interest In the present
situation, however. It Is believed that (ill
thfc County Commissioners will bo urged to
make every possible effort to get the returns
j .totaled as early as possible. Tho coui)t will
f m'rc',lti all counties Friday.

and it ivas for that that Admiral Mao
demanded that the Huerta soldiers salute
the American flag.

"The claim Ih ahsuid. Sixty per cent of

XI3W YOI1K, May IS Kecnuse the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee has decided to
vote next Wednesday on the question id
leportlng to tho Senate the nomination of
Louis I) llrandels for the L'nitcil Stales Su
pirmo Coin t, sK?culntlou Is rife- as to
whether this appointee Is to be t ejected, as
was (Jcoige Uubleo. of New Hampshire
who was named to the .Federal Tindo Com
mission by President Wilsau. Compara
tively few close students of political events
In Washington believe that llrandels will
bo rejected, owing lo two distinct differ
ences between the Huhleo and Urandles
cases.
In the Hubles case. Senator Calllngcr
objected to the eiih,flrmntlnn on tho ground
that Ids nomination was pcrsonallv ob
jectionable to him Senatorial courtesy
almost always has made possible the le
Jcctlou of a nomination on this ground.
Senator Murtlne. of Now Jersey, who on a
previous occasion objected to tho confirma
tion or a nominee In his State on that
giound. was suppoitcd by Senator dil
linger. Senator O'Cormnn, of Now York,
was supported similarly when the President
made a nomination that displeased him
inesp senators in turn supported Senator
(.allluger In his fight. No Senator 1ms ob
jected to Humdels on the ground that he la
personally objectionable.
Tho second point In the Rublee case
which does not exist In the llrandels case.
Is that of politics. Under tho teuns of
tho I-edeial Trade Commission law, tho
President was authorized to appoint the
IIo members,, provision being made that
.... "'"" ""-' miouiu ne from one
pollt cal paily. The President provoked
groat criticism because ho did not appoint

that p.ubleo was In reality a Democrat,

H0TELMEN GIVE $5750
TO POOR RICHARDS
Substantial Boost for Conven
tion of Advertising Clubs
of the World
Philadelphia hotelmeu expressed tholr
opinion of tho value to the city of tho
convention of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World by forwarding to tho
Poor ttlclmrtl Committee u check for $27fi0.
J. Miller Frar.ler, manager of tho ltcllevuo
Stintford, served as treasurer of tho Phila
delphia Hotel Association In falsing the
fund.
"We aro mighty glad to give this money
to help tho Poor lllqhard Club finance the
convention," slated (Mr. Frazler, turning
over the check. "I attended the Chicago
convention of tho Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World Inst summer and t
know- pretty well what It means to a
cltv. Philadelphia can consider hciself
mighty lucky to gel It, not only because
tho 10,000 visitors will spend money here,
hut because they Will enrry away with
thotn good Ideas nbout tho city.
"Kvery man In Philadelphia who knows
anything about advertising joins with
Mayor Smith In the opinion that Philadel
phia needs publicity In the other sections
of the country. We can have all soits of
movements to boom tho port and exploit
tho manufacturing potency of the city, but
Oils one convention piobably will yield is
much return as nil the movements com
bined. It therefore should tie the duty of
every Philadelphia business man to get ill
back of flic Poor lllchatit Club and make
this n wonderful success. Tho Convention
Committee will conduct llttlo pilgrimages
through tho textile sections so the nil men
can see with their own eyes the great out
put of our factories. That nlnue Is worth
a groat amount of money, because tho dele
gates, when they go back home, cannot
fall to be Impressed with tho city. The
ml. men's convention Is undoubtedly the
girntest organization that ever met In Phil
adelphia." Tho hotel men's check boosts tho nonven
tlon fund to about $38,000. ltowo Stewart,
chairman of tho Convention Canimitlc.
stated that abput $15,000 more Is required
to stage the convention. "

"Charles Palmer, Attorney nt Law, Notary
Public." In a window- hangs the shlnglo of
a building association of which Mr. Palmer
Is secretary. They are tho only two things
that at first glance might distinguish tho
olllce fiom a plumbing shop or a store.
Within arc Indications of conversntlsm
and the marks of tho man who still clings
to tho old fashions. A nnrrow strip of
frayed faded linoleum leads from tho door
way to Mr. Palmer's desk, an antique, rusty
piece, of furnltuio with a leather top.
Several other pieces of the same vintage
aro In the room.
There aro many musty lawbooks lying
mound. The telephones nro fastened to
the wall, and every ttmo Mr.' Palmer wishes
to talk ovor the phono ho has to rise from
his scat and walk to tho wall. There Is
ono mark of modernity in tha ofllce. an Im
proved model typewriter.
AN nVHN TKMPKnGD MAN
Mr. Palmer is easy going, good-natured.
He is the good husband, nno father typo of
man. He wants to sit on the Supremo
liench, but he Is tho kind who wouldn't be
jnrred Into any unusual sign of animation
by news that he had been nominated for
tho Presidency of tho United States. He
lead tho election returns with no more than
usual Interost, apparently, went to tho
dentist before coming to his olllce this
morning, and then settled down for the
usual daily routine.
Thero wero no Ward bosses waiting to
shako hands witli him, there, were no n
tliuslastlc tlegrams of congratulation, there
wero no llowrs on his desk. Only tho pres
ence of a waiting reporter Indicates that
anything unusual had huppned.
Mr. Palmer Is not u very satisfactory
man to Interview. Ho is pleasant and cor
dial as any one can be, but it is quite nn-
paront ho Is not used to being Interviewed.
He talkit very slowly, and the reporter who
waits to get a complete Interview would
probably miss all his editions.
CALMLY AWAITS DF.OISION. 1
The result of the balloting is still In
doubt, and the reporter was hoping Mr,
Palmer would have somo direct Information
that would throw some light on the mnttor.
Ho hadn't. He had made no nttempt to
loam what the result might bo, other than
leading tho morning pnpers. There were no
telegrams prophesying victory, such as tho
average candidate for public ofllce would re
ceive; Mr. Palmer Is not the average can
didate. Palmer Is a stanch advocate of reform
ing the liquor laws, and it seems that all
,the other advocates of tho same thing In
this Ktnte aro strong advocates of Palmer.
It Is they who urged him to become a can
didate for the Supreme Bench.
"The State Convention, at Pittsburgh, rec
oinended tliat I be a candidate last Fer
lUary," Mr. Palmer said, "und I thought,
as long us they wanted me, I would let them
put up iny name."
