Democratic Stato Chairman drosscup, asked today l& he In tended to reply to tho statement of Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, In which Tumulty places the blame on Grosscup for having Ignored tho President's wish to have Attorney General Wescott nominate him at the St. Louis convention, said ho would make no reply, but added: "My mind Is clear on tho situation. Any one who knows my end qf it knows all about it." Tumulty said In his, statement he dis tinctly told Grosscup's messenger over tho phone that "Wescott was to have the honor of making thejiomlnatlng speech. Wescott nominated Wilson at Baltimore. Instead of heeding this direction, Grosscup allowed tho New Jersey Democratlo delegates to tho convention to select Governor Fielder to make tho speech., When later tho Presi dent's preference for Wescott in tho mat ter became known, Governor Fielder wrote to Mr. Wilson cheerfully withdrawing, and statlng-that ho had been selected through a misunderstanding. Had the delegates known of the President's desire, Governor Fielder wrote, they would havo willingly acceded to it. This letter gave rise to Tumulty's state ment, declaring there had been no misun derstanding, and that. Grosscup knew all about it before the delegates made their selection of Fielder. Tho Incident has raised considerable spec ulation and some criticism of Mr. Grosscup. who. It was thought, would explain his posi tion and clear himself of the Intimation that he had Juggled with the President's wishes. SCnANTON. Pa.. May 23.

DEPARTING AUDIENCE INTERRUPTS MEXICAN RAID IN 101 RANCH SHOW Inopportune Playing of "Star-Spangled Banner" Leads Part of .Crowd to Think Performance Is Over and 1 Start for Gate Just as Attack on Columbus Starts . r 1 , . salute, as the artillery brought down the American Hag to give It a rest, until the next morning. Of course, when the Amer ican flag Is ceremoniously brought down like that, at sundown and by United States" troops, it is eminently proper to strike up "The Star-Spangled Banner," But to ac company It with a gun salute and a patrl otlo hullabaloo gives people the Itchy home feeling. Tradition has so established it. Though the raid on Columbus was some thing of a farce, eyery other feature was of the class which has made "Buffalo Bill's" show famous. Among them were American cowboy? and cowgirls In action, Indians, wild riding Cossacks, rablan gymnasts, Japanese and fancy shooters. "Tha Star-Spangled Banner" nearly broke Up the "101 Itanoh Wild West Show" last night. When It was played the audience thought the time to go home had come, nd out toward the exits everybody, started moving. Desperately, a dozen attaches of the "ranch" ran up and down theslde line?, yelling instructions that the thousands should be" seated again and wait for the teal finish. "Sit down! Sit do,wnl" they cried. "The best Is yet to come. We're not half through Jfet." Those words served to stop the mass xlt.but hundreds Ignored them, chiefly, perhaps, because of the rain and the fact that it was a very bleak night In May, When all the people who wanted to go home had passed out and all the people who wanted to stay had been seated, the exhi bition of the raid on Columbu3. N, St. by Villa bandits, was continued. This feature of the show was not Included In the program, and "The Star-Spangled Banner" always has been, la now and prob ably ever will be tho signal that Its accom panying event Is the concluding one. In this particular Instance the band began to play It even before the event Itself was over, Even Villa had not yet appeared upon the scene. The national anthem waa simply Played because everything was quiet at Columbus, except the firing of the sunset CITY DEMANDS ACTION AGAINST AUTO SPEEDERS Citizens Want Councils to Halt Death-Dealing Acts of Motorists LIST OP VICTIMS NOW 51 "Stop Slaughter by Autos," Is Demand on Councils Former Judge Mfiyer Suzborgcr "It's up to Councils, They've been nslccp.

Tho retired President Judgo of Common Picas Court No, 2 was emphatic In declaring that Immcdlatu measures should bo ndopted to put n, stop to tho kill ing of pedestrians by motor trucks and prlvnto enrs. "On several occasions I have prepared ordinances for Councils to cradlcato this deplornblo condition,', ho said. "Tho city's lawmakeis, however, havo permitted thoso measures to slec( In committee.

It is tho only solution of the problem, which has brought me almost to my wts' end. Tho police havo responded to my request for co operation In checking tho nccldents, but no result has been obtained. "Many of tho deaths are caused by roller skates," he continued. "Any parent who allows a child between 6 and 12 years old to go out on the streets to roller-skate Is crazy." DENIES OBSTRUCTION.
