PARTY MANAGERS
FINALLY
DECIDE
ON OHIO SENATOR
Long Conference, rfe'd During
Night, Weeds Out Claims of
All Other Dark Horses
WILSON PARDONS
TAGEBLATIIN
Convicted Philadelphia Editors
Have Evaded Jail by Series
of Appeals
100,000 SIGN THE PETITION
President Wilson today pardoned
Louis E. Werner, Martin Darkow and
Herman Lcmkc, of the Philadelphia
Tagcblatt, who had been convicted and
sentenced to prison for violation of the
espionage act.
Tjie three men, by this act of presi
dential clemency, will avoid going to
Jail at all. Since their convection they
have managed, by one devlc?, and an
other, to' remain out oTf prison. They
wetato btmrffOTre-soonTra,'tt -petition
which Edward E. Krcrap, chief as
sistant United States attorney here,
was about to file In tho federal
courts. Krcrap today" was ordered by
Washington to refrain from filing flia
lietltlon.
It was said that President Wilson
decided to pardon the thrco men nfter
their attorney had sent him a petition
nsking clemency and signed by 100,000
persons.
One of tho remarkable features of
the Tbgdblatt case was the successful
manner ' in which the three convicted
men avoided execution of the sentence
imposed by the Courts.
Sontenced In 1010
Werner was editor-in-chief of the
Tagcblatt, Darkou managing editor nnd
Lemke business mnnagcr. Werner and
Darkow were sentenced to five years
each, while Lcmko was given n year.
They were sentenced December 18,
101ft, nnd nt the tlnio the judge re
marked that the sentence would have
been heavier had it been imposed dur
ing wartime. The charge against the
men was "making and conveying false
reports to promote tho success of the
enemy, and wilfully obstructing recruit
ing nnd enlistment service, and con
spiracy to make false reports."
With these three were convicted also
Peter Schaffcr, president of tho Tage
blatt Co., and Paul Vogcl, the trcas
urcr, and sentenced to shorter terms.
AJ1 live convicted men appealed to
ttie Supreme Court. Tho appeal acted
as a stay, and they were not forced to
go to jail. The verdict of the Supreme
Court, while sustaining the sentences
imposed on Werner, Darkow and Lemke,
reversed the lower court in the mat
ter of Schacffer and Vogel.
Telegram Tells of Pardon
following the Supreme Court verdict
it looked as though the three men would
at last liave to go to jail. Their at
torney, however, announced thnt he
would ask for executive clemency, which
he did. This cannot be done, it is un
derstood, without tho assent of the
United States attorney, tho trial judge
'and the attorney general.
Though ordinarily a convicted per
son begins his jail sentence wltliiu a
definite time ufter the Supremo Court
liaH rejected his appeal, the three
Tagcblatt cmploje. continued to enjoy
thiir liberty on bail. Therefore the
assistant United fjtntes attorney, Mi.
Kremp, was getting ready to petition
tho court to force the men to servo their
sentences.
The following telegrnm Mas received
by him this morning from Washington :
"You are instructed not to move for
sentence In the eases of Werner. Dar
kow and Lemke, editors uf the Philadel
phia Tagcblatt, who were found guilty
liv a competent jurisdiction in violating
tho espionage act. You are herewith
notified that President Wilson has par
doned these men."

In front when Mack Wheat slugged the
horsebide into the left-field bleachers
in the opening game of the scries with
the Pirates today.
Wheat's circuit clout, which trav
eled into tho four-bit section on a
bounce, also scored Ralph Miller, who
previously had doubled.
More than 12,000 saw Eppa Rixey
go after the Buccaneers in nn effort to
make it five in a row for the Phlllirs.
The Cravathlans swept the scries
with the Cubs and, If they do the same
against the Smoky City gang, they will
be out of the cellar by a comfortable
margin.
Rixey did vell In tho first Inning and
put the Pirates down In order. Bigbec
hit safely, (but ho was out when he
tried to steal.
The Buccaneers crowded the bases in
the second wltG two out on singles by
Barbarc, Grim and Schmidt.
Carlson, however, forced Grim for a
third out.
Rixey put the aliens out without any
trouble in the third.
The rain early this afternoon made the
dianuind extremely heavy. A batter was
lucky to inako Bccond base on a hit
that would be a triple ordinarily.

Marlon n. Zindcrstein. the Longwood
tennis star, wrested the Delaware toto
crown from MNs Ann B. Townsend. of
Philadelphia, in the challenge round
here today. 0-1, 7-.1.
When Miss Zludersteln steps out on
tho court she Jielleves that she is going
to win. That isn't overt onfideuce.
It's the proper attitude for anv athlete.
Among tho many other assets that Miss
.inderstein possesses is speed. She cov
ers the court so easily that she dntvii t
appear to be dolug anything etraor
(liiinry, but she is.
Sho races over the turf as quickly
and graocfullv as the well-known glid
ing gazelle. She also has the tennis in
stinct that enables her to anticipate
virtually all nf her opponent's drives.
In this way she covers up almost per
fectly and is nlwnjs in a position to
make a telling return.
Miss Townsend is also far from
slow on tho turf. She covers well and
plnys a stiong gniue at the net when
she is going right. ,

TO NOMINATION PRIZE
Senatorial "Steerers" Hope. to
Defeat Lowden, but Use Him
to Beat Wood .
By CLINTON W. GILBERT ,
CowrioM, 1910, bu PuBlto Ltiatr Co.
Clilcaeo. .Turn. 12. Hardine. on
some ballot, Is the Hope 9t .the party
managers, who cot little sleep . last
night in their efforts to solve the Re
publican deadlock.
This result will probably be reached
today, although tho Lowden men, who
now are dn the defensive, may seek in
combination with tho Wood forces to
adjourn the convention over Sunday.
The decision on narding was' reached
at a conference In Colonel George
Hrfrvoy's rooms at the Blackstone. Va
rious senators participated, but the
steering committee consisted chiefly of
Senators Smoot. Brandegec and Lodge.
The claims of all the dark horses were
canvassed.
Watson First Considered
First Senator Watson was considered.
ITe himself came into the room and
talked it over. It was decided quickly
that Watson would not do. Will S.
Hnvs's claims were equally dismissed.
Hughes got a long and seriousscon
slderation. Smoot, as Is well known,
favored Hughes, Senators were im
pressed with naghes's strength. But
Senator Widsworth nnd other New
Yorkers present vetoed Hughes. New
York wanted n politician. Coolldge's
name was urged by the Massachusetts
senators, but he was rejected as too
sectional.
Pennsylvania made' a hard drive to
have Sproul accepted by the confer
ence. It was urged in Sproul's behalf
that he had a large block of votes. But
it was decided that Sproul had too lit
tle strength outside of Pennsylvania,
not being widely enough known to the
country.
Ifiiox Too Indifferent
Senator Knox was rejected, on ac
count of his ago and indifference to the
nomination. His lofty attainments were
recognized, but it was felt that a man
who cared so little for the nomination
as Knox would not make a' strong cam
paign. Senators Johnson and Borah were
present and urged Knox's nominaflon,
but Johnson lost his chance to name
Knox by waiting too long.
In the end it was decided that Hard
ing wns tho most available candidate.
About him could bo rallied nil the or
ganization forces which have been used
in beating back Wood.
High Hopes to Beat Lowden
The steering committee of senators is
not sure it can prevent the nomination
of Lowden, but has strong hopes. They
are u-dug Johnson's name as a candi
date for Vice President with Harding.
Much of the appeal of tho senators's
plan lies in the magic of Johnson's
name and his vote-getting abilities on
the ticket.
Hauling is rho choice of the. sena
torial coterie, which has been the most
outstanding combination In tho conven
tion. There is a certain jenlousy of
these senatorial managers which might
act against Harding, except for the'fact
of his own agreeable personality and the
high favor in which he is regarded by
tho organization.
Try to Kill Off Wood
The plan today ih to continue the
work of jesterduy of killing off Wood
by strengthening Lowden, yet nt no
time allowing Lowden to come within
btriking dlstouce of the" nomination.
Nicholas Murray Butler, the New
York candidate, withdrew today, and
of his twenty remaining votes the bulk
went to Lowden Othr moves of this
sort, as the senatorial groups see fit to
cause them, will take place during the
day. but an attempt will be made to
keep the situation so in hand that the
convention will not mistake the ten
dency to Lowden for a band-wagon
movement.
R this process of gradual accretion.
Low den's strength during the day will
be built up to about 400 votes. He was
passed over Wood in order thnt the.
Wood forces may be convinced that the
hopes of their candidate aru gone.
Persons close to the Lowdcnniove
ment understand fully that Lowden is
being used solely as a meaus to defeat

as a tide for Harding was rising
throughout the hall, s recess was taken
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon (5
o'clock Philadelphia time.)
At first the Harding managers,
former Governor Willis, of Ohio, and
Myron T. Hcrrick protested against the
recess, but after aiplatform conference
agreed to It, and on leaving the confer
ence, Mr. Willis said:
"It will be Harding a ioon as we
come bock'
Just before the recess, Missouri at
tempted to change her vote to throw All.

Bay State M(jy Support Harding
It was also reported that Massa
chusetts would go to Harding on the
opening ballot after the recess.
The narding tide, which began last
night when, after a day of unsuccessful
balloting, the leaders went into con
ference to find a compromise candidate,
began rising this morning when the
convention assembled, and continued to
rise steadily throughout the balloting
until it ran over the hundred mark.
When it parsed the 100 mark there
were signs of breaking from many
sides. Word came to the convention hall
from Senator Penrose in Philadelphia
mac ine nomination 01 senator naming '&
would not be displeasing to him, and , i
the word generally spread throughout
the convention that many delegations
were preparing to "get on the band
wagon" with the coming ballots.
Discuss Vice Presidency
During the recess, it was understood
vice presidential candidates were to be
discussed. In that connection Senator
Harding's conference late last night nnd
early this morning with Senator John
son was recalled, us was Senator John
son's'repeuted declaration that he would
accept no second place on any ticket.
It was repQrted in the convention hall
that Senator Jolinson" threatened to
throw his otes to General Wood unless
a recess gwas taken. His niauagers
challenged the statement, declaring that
Johnson, did not control the delegates.
The Harding managers went downtown
to ngain confer with the Johnson forces
and try to bring them into n program
suggested last night by which Jolinson
would be given second place if he would
take it, and if not a "say" in tho de
cision k
Jolinson Calls on Harding
It has been generally known that
Senator Johnson was very much op
posed to euator Harding's nomina
tion. As soon as it became known that
the convention gave evideuccs of being
about to take Harding for its uomlneo,
Senator Johnson went to Senator Hard
ing for a conference to go over the
whole subject.
A large group of leaders on the plat
form at the convention said it was
important that thc have time to talk
over the situation before entering upon
anotlter ballot.
They assumed there was no longer
any question but that Harding would
win and tlfey wanted to consider
thoroughly who was the best qualified
nnd availablo man for tho vice presi
dency. The moro conservative leaders were
opposed tn Senutor Johnsou, although
some of them thought it would make
for party harmony if a place on tha , H
ticket were offered to 'him. , "
