QUAY GOESJTO HARRISBURG
The Hastings Leaders in Philadelphia
Are Visibly Encouraged.
LEHIGH SAFE FOK GILKESOX
The Quay Side's Profuse Bluster lias Mot
Blinded Shrewd OMorvers to the
Evident Fast That Senator
Quay Is Beaten.
Philadelphia. Aug. 22. Since yester
day's convention Republican politics
have quieted down in Philadelphia, as
both of the contegtantsare .busy flguring
on their possible delegates In the state
convention and claiming that they will
win. As each side is as positive a the
other In its claims of victory, and as
many elements of uncertainty are
workin beneath the surface, no .poul
tive prediction of who will win the
'bat tle can be made at this time.
When the forces of both sides are
mustered at Harrldburg on Wednes
day next there promises to be a battle
royal, and one desertion from either
side may be sufficient to create a panic
In the ranks and cause a stampede one
way or the ooher. Much will undoubt
edly depend on the personnel of the
committee on credentials and the side
tholt shows a majority In the committee
will have a big advantage. The Quay
people talk as If they expect to control
the credentials committee, but they
may find they have counted their
chickens before they'are hatched.
On the surface Quay certainly ap
pears to have the advantage and to be
reasonably sure of victory, but the posi
tive way in which the Hastings lead
ers talk seem to Indicate that they may
have knowledge it hat many of the unln
structive delegates will be with them.
Senator Quay left here today for Har
rlsburg. where h? will open headquar
ters and remain until after the conven
tion. Hastings Will Capture Lehigh.
Allentown, Pa.. Aug. 22. The nomi
nating primaries in Lehlsh county were
held tonight. Candidates for both tha
Quay and Htlngs side were nominat
ed in every one of 'the aivty-s4x dis
trict of the county. There was much
excitement at many of the polls. The
primary elections will take place tomor
row night and th? heaviest vote In ths
pavty's hlrtory Is expected. Sentiment
is so evenly divided that It will be Im
possible to 'tell who has won until the
elections are over tomorrow night. The
Hastings people have the "better organi
zation and this may win for them.
In tho Proper Column Now.
Altoona. Pa.. Aug. 22. D. L. Cald
well, of Tyrone, a delegate to the Re
publican state convention from Blair

tion Meet In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Aug. 22. The shooting
tournament of the Pennsylvania State
Sportsmen's association was continued
today on the grounds of the Keystone
Shooting league, and pleasant weather
still favored the shooters. A recount
today of the scores made by Fjilford
and William Wolstencroft on Tuesday
and Wednesday In the shoot f. r the
E. C. Powder company's tropht re
sulted in a reversal of the wlnnet' and
the awarding of the prize to Fulford
instead of Wolstencroft. It was found
an error had been made In the count
and that Fulford had broken ninety
seven instead of ninety-six targets,
and that, therefore, he was not tied at
the latter figure with Wolstencroft and
should not have shot off the match
with him and which he lost.
The winners in today's shoots at
twenty Empire targets and their scores
and number of first, follows:
Landis, (2), 20; J. Wolstencroft, 20; W.

iMurchy, (2), 20, 20. In several of the
twenty target shoots from two td three
men were tied for first place, and the
entrance money was divided.
The team shoots rejulted as follows:

schedule of the University of 'Pennsyl

arranged. .All but three game will be
piayea on KraifWln field, Pennsyl

tures should come from the Tlgtn-s, in
which oaae Pennsylvania would .prob
ably meet their old foe, as two dates are
still open. The games away from home
are with Harvard, the Pittsburg Ath
It-tic club at Pittsburg, and the Cres
cent Athletic chub, at Brooklyn. The
hard games of the season will be with
Harvard, Cornell, University of Vir
ginia and the University of Michigan.
The game .with the latter college has
not been positively arranged but the
negotiations under way will in all
probability result in the westerners
meeting Pennsylvania.
Yale hi no longer considered In mak
ing up any of Pennsylvania's athletic
schedules, as the New Haven men, for
reasons -they consider sufficient, have
refued to contest -with the Quakers.
Pennsylvania will have a hard task
on lis nanus to repeat us .penormance
of last year in beating Harvard and
Cornell, as they .play the Crimson on
Saturday, Nov. 23, and Ave days later
on, Tlmnksglvlng Day, they meet the
sturdy 'boys from Ithaca. Five days
is but a short time to recover from the
effects of a hard game suoh as the one
