HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTS
PARIS, June 5.
The Gcrmnns launched Boveral hot In
fantry attacks against Fort Vaux last
night, employing liquid flro, but desplto
this the attacks -vwera repulsed, says the
French official communique today. Else',
where along the line east of the Meuse
the lighting was. heavy, but the Germans
were unable to gain a yard, the state-.

The armies "of the Crown Prince con
tinued violent .assaults, on .the, region, ot'
Dead MnH's Hill and Hill JIM all .day. Sun

Is believed here that the .Germans are
making their mighty efforts at Verdun to

the German people arouse'db'y the North

German Infantry, according to the Wan
umes report, wrested some or the. French
llUe' trenches' from' the' holders In the region
between Damloup and "Fdrt Vaux. The "in
vaders, wertf.qulckly driven out, by" a fierce
counter-attack. '
Despite the. recent German successes
round Verdun, the officers In command of
the men remain sublimely confident the city
will not bo taken. It Is held that tho Ger-nans-are
without sufficient reserves to start
storming action all along the Verdun battle
front simultaneously. The French also look
to actions by tho Allies at points along the
line remote from Verdun to help solve the
Verdun problem.
At Damloup and Fort Vaux the charges
of the German Infantry ended In hand-to-band
.struggles along the trench lines. The
heaviest part of tho attack was directed
Ualnst Vaux.
The following Is the text of the official
statement:
On the left bank of tho Meuse there
was an Intermittent bomb'ardrrtnt east
of the, Meuse. The- artillery fire con

region of Thlaumortt farm and Douau

Mayor Smith this afternoon requested tho
resignation of Frank J. Cummlskey, chief
of the Bureau of City Property and one of
ine mc.Nicnoi leaders In the 25th Ward.
The Mayor's action was taken by politi
cians ns an Indication ot the fact that the
Brumbaugh-Vare-Smlth triumvirate, cha
grined at their defeat to obtain control ,of
tho Stato Committee, will pittempt to get' a
sop of comfort' by tnklng 'tho helm of the
Republican City Commltteo with' a strong
force to .back .them .and plant careful.
schemes' to", get' Vnro, control of municipal of
fices at, the ,electlqr next ye,ar.
This .thought", was strengthened by the
apparently fiut,hentle rumor that more Mc
Nlchol. bureau- chiefs' were "slated to' go ;"
that Cummlskey's discharge would later re
sult In wholesale "tiring" of McNIchol men
"higher up," a course from which tho city
administration officials have nn fnr mr.
fully s.tecred In that they dismissed only,
plerks and "small fry" during the hectlo
primary day's. '
SMITH HAS, "NOTHING TO'SAY."
The Mayor was .asked to explain his ac
tion after Cummlskey .had made public the
Mayor's letter and also announced his In
tention of refusing to accede to tho Mayor's
request.
"I have nothing to say about Cummls
key,' said the Mayor.
Ho then added Indignantly;
"I don't transact tho business of my of
fice through the newspapers."
The Mayor seemed surprised when he
found out that his course with Cummlskey
was public. His surprise waa overshadowed,
however, by his wrath.
The discharge of Cummlskey came but
a few hours before the meeting of the Re
publican City Committee and a few hours
after the entire McNIchol faction .had loft
ior me republican National Convention,
leaving behind' no one to care for their In
terests, It presages, perhaps, a wiping out
of the truce, effected between McNIchol
and Attorney General Brown to "put
across'Jr Knox as Pennsylvania's choice for
President.
Cummlskey was a follower of "BUI"
Campbell McNIchol leader of the, 25th
Ward, who held his bailiwick firm to the
McNIchol-Penrose wing of the party in the
recent campaign despite the efforts of the
Administration to force through a favorable
Vare vote by .means of patrdnage. He was
appointed, chief of the bureau provisionally
In January, being glverr the permanent ap
pointment on March 10 last.
The Mayor gave no reason for his action,
It being a regulation of the Civil Service

CHICAGO, June 5. If Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt will agree to throw his
support and that of the Progressives to
a straight-out Republican "favorite
son" or "dark horse," he can name the
candidate of the Republican party for
the presidency. He himself cannot have
the party nomination. The. Old Guard
has decreed that it will not accept the
Colonel.
CHICAGO, June 5, "Justice Hughes'
nomination on an early ballot is inevi
table' "Franfc It. lYitchcock. unofficial
Hughes boomer, declared in a state
ment this afternoon. -'
"Justice Hughes will receive more
votes on the first ballot, thnn the com

.candidates, and his nomination on an
early ballot is inevitable," the announce
ment concluded.
By PERRY ARNOLD
CHICAGO, Juno 6. Tho Old Gunrd made
Its first definite' proffer to the Progressives
today. Secure In Its own belief that It can
control the votes of a majority of the dele
gates, the dominant forces of Xlepubllcan
Ism want Hughes. But they only want
Hughes If they nro convinced he can bo a
winner next November. Therefore, their
preliminary feeler to the Progressives was
to ascertain whether an ngreement could
not be possible with Hughes as n candidate,
running on a sort of a platform which the
Progressives might require.
TheOld'Guard Isn't belittling the power
which It feels the Progressives can swing,
ap.d Its plan went further than a mere sug
gestion that agreement coino about on
Hughes. It embraced a scheme by which
the Progressives might ho able later to say
they wore the ones who "put Hughes over."
The scheme fostered by the Old Guard was
to have the Progressives meet Wednesday
and not later than Thursday night to nomi
nate. Hughes. Then by Friday or Saturday
the Republican convention would choose the
same standard bearer. The Progressives
could very well "point with pride" to tho
fact that by their action In naming Hughes
they had forced the Republicans Into select
ing the same loader.
SEEK "SATISFACTORY- STATEMENT."
The Progressive leaders, who have been
awaiting some sort of an olive branch sug
gestlon, made ,lt known to day they were
first for Roosevelt and only for Hughes
f some sort of n "satisfactory" statement
of principles could be extracted from the

BATTLE TO IJAST DITCH.
The. truth of It Is that the. men who art
apparently- In. control of this convention
have, a clear Idea of what they desire to do,
but no. fixed Idea at all concerning what
they Bhall be able to do. Thera are two
or more determined quantities. The Arst
Is speaking as the Old Guard speaks, and
there Is no- doubt that the Old Guard, for
the time at least, has absolute control of
this convention and will not .consent to the
nomination of Roosevelt, unless they are
so far down In defeat that their consent la
negligible. The . second Is that they will
light the nomination of Hughes unless they
see that their control w"l De taken from
them by the convention, unfcss they cannot
help themselves, and then they will grudge
Ingly consent. They do not expect to be
called upon to consent. They claim they
have beaten Roosevelt already j that Iloose
velt men ure now engaged with thera v
In beating Hughes, and that when this sec
ond fustlgatlou Is complete' they will s(ep
In and name their own man, of their ow
kidney, and go Into the fight with ihun,
knowing that If' they win they will not bt
without merit In the eyes or the benefi
ciary of their maneuvers here within ths
next few days.
ASSEMBLING THE PIECES.
They have no fixed candidate as yet,
The assembling of the pieces has not
progressed beyortd trie preliminary stapes.
There Is no particular hurry. They must
make su.re first that Hughes Is out of the .
way, so they Intend to fuss along and con
fer and talk and encourage the claim of
the multitude, and when things are reason
ably squared In their minds, name their
man and go' home.
There Is no man of the OJd Guard, nor
any adherent thereor, nor any lieutenant
or satellite, who Is any way In the con
fidence of the leaders who Is not emphatio
and explicit In his statement that Roose
velt cannot and will not ba nominated by
