ANALYSIS OF STATE FIGHT J The Humanities ol Politics Are wltli Jolin Elkin and Against Senator Quau. BATTLE OP GENERALS VERSUS MEN IN LINE The Attorney General Played Fair with Quay andIt Was Quay Who Played Tilcky Elkin tho Comrade and Beau Ideal of the Boys Who Fight the Party's Battles; and tho Boys, and Not the Ornamental Office Holders, Will Be in Control of the State Convention Facts, Figures and Predictions A Im mense Crowd Expected. Special to tin irmton niliune Hamsburg, May 28. This week and next will complete the selection of state delegates and bj a week from Monday the- theatre of political activities will be tr.insfened fiom the various coun ties to Hanlsbutg. The prospects are that an unprecedented crowd will be heie to see the fun. Every hotel room In Hairlsbutg has been bespoken; hundicds of lodgings In private famil ies have been engaged; the coirldors of the capltol ate to be occupied by cots and it may be necessary to set up cir cus tents for the accommodation of the ovctllow. In spite of the claims of the various managers It is tecognized here by prac ticed students ot politics that the cam paign for control of the convention will be close and probably not decided until the small boms of Wednesday morning, June. 11 The assertions of the Quay leadeis that Fenns packer will win eas ily with moie than 220 votes In conven tion, or 40 more than enough to nomin ate, are laughed at b those in the con fidence of John Klkln, who seem fully ussuied that the Indiana plow boy will oiganlze the convention and win the nomination. The Outlook. A state Official ialct today: "Mt.'Ul W kin's fi lends have looked well to his In tel est In eveiy county of the state and he has a following which is faithful and the envy of the other candidates. The candidacy of Judge I'ennypackei, of Philadelphia, has aroused llttla enthu siasm outside of his own city. He has seemed twenty-two delegates, all but tluee fiom counties adjacent to Phila delphia, but ho has developed no strength whatever west of the Alle gheny. In the far w ostein counties the ft lends of the attorney geneial have seemed a large majority of the dele gates ,headv voted for and they hnve eveiy assmuuee that of those jet to bo selected they will sccuie enough to give their candidate sufficient stiength to place him In splendid wot king order on the (loot ot the convention." This offi cial, who is u conseivative man, not given to chasing intnhows, gives out the following tabulated estimate of the situation as it stands: Suie for Elkin.

Montour 1 Perry - Bnmcrsct ' Tioga. .., j Washington " Westmoreland S York 0 Philadelphia ; i Total I..U9 Beviewing the Fight. In discussing chunecB this oflltlul said: "It Is wise to bear In mind that Tllkln has an equal or better chance than Quay to capture unlnstructed delegates. In this fight Hlkln was the first and natural choice of alt stalwart Republicans, young and old alike. For years he had been Quay's tiusted lieu tenant. In personal touch with the ef fective workers In every county. The workers could always see Elkin, talk muttets over with him and depend on what ho told them. In later years Quay has kept l emote from the active men nnd In touch only with the big guns who have been accustomed to give orders. "Now, if nikln had tiled to use this acquaintance" to build up a machine against Quay: If he had been treacher ous to his chief, he could not expect much from the stalvvaits In control of the vnrlous counties. As a matter of fact, he vvus loyalty personified; so loyal that the only chaiges his oppon ents can bring against him mlso from what he did when working under orders In Quay's behalf. The stalwarts know this. They also know that It was Quay who tried to thiow Elkin and then, not fairly, but by a strangle hold. Elkin hud told Quay early in the game that if the leadeis didn't think It wise for him to be a candidate he would step aside. He was told to go ahead and make his fight. Durham assured him of support In Philadelphia. Quay prom ised, if not open help, at least neutral ity. Both promises were bioken, vir tually without warning, after Elkin had won In 17 out of 19 counties, the two others being given to Wattes with out contests, largely on Quay's recom mendation. "These facts, and many more, are or will be known to every county leader In control of untnstiucted delegates. In some- counties men friendly to Elkin wete choseii delegates without Instiuc tlons because their past lelatlons to Quay would have made instiuctlons embairasslng. In other counties the piecedents of years amounting to an unwritten law aie against instiuctlons; but the delegates elected have volun tarily assured Elkin of their support; have without solicitation said so In black and white. Every campaign pio duces disappointments, but It Is h.udly likely that men who go out of their way,,to tell Elkin that they me for him and vvhephhve nothing to 'expect as a eonsideiutlou wlll'ln e'onsldeiable per centage go back on their own engage ments. The Personal Equation. "There is another factor which Is giv ing Senatot Quay leal concern. Elkin has the enthusiastic suppott of a gieat majority of the county oiganizittlon vvotkers, tho men who do things. They aie vvoiklng for Elkin fiom siieer ad miration of the man and In Instinctive levolt against Ingiatitude. Quay has tiled hard to get them back Into line, but without lesult. Tho workers whom he has for Pennj packer arc mainly graduates from the active ranks, super annum les, so to speak. They weio stiong when joung but they now be long on the shelf. They me for Penny packer. Why? Hec.iuse they cute a u.ip for Pennj packet? Certainly not. Many have never seen him. Some hold fedeial office under Quay. Some have held federal office In the past. Some feel peisonally kindly to Quay and, upon direct appeal fiom him, have con sented to lend a hand. The only man In Quay's whole outfit who Is peisonally In earnest for Pennypacker is Dm hum, of Philadelphia; and Durham at heart is for Elkin, but because of local in fluences and coiporate orders had to change front In self pioteetlon. "You ate going to see some lively sur mises on the evening of June 10. I think the aveiago reader of nevvspapeis not peisonally conversant with polities and tho ties of friendship and affection 'which develop among soldleis In hard fought political campaigns are unable I to undetstand the Intense fealty which exists among tho stalwmt privates, cotpoials, sergeants and lieutenants for Comiade Elkin. John has stood should 1 er to shoulder with them In a bundled dt'speiute battles; ho has been the one j man In the machine camp who never 'lost patience or temper; who, when oveicome at one point, was up and do ing at another: who gave und took hmd knocks without mulico or personal le Isentment and who, In sttategy, pluck and loyalty, never had a superior. The . boys on the filing line know and appte 1 elate this, and they me going to be In the saddle June 11, maik what I tell ou," Deputy Attorney General Fleitz left today for Tioga county, whoto Attor ney General Elkin Is meeting the peo ple anticipatory ot satmuui s open primaries, GEOW PBEDICTS ELKIN.

Sar gent, membei of the national board of arbitration, of which Senator Hanna s chairman, is in St. Louis. Mr. Sar gent Is of the opinion that if the strike of anthiacito mtneis shall not bo set tled within the next eight or ten days, theie piobably will be a, sympathetic stiike in the bituminous fields. Ml. Sargent said to the Associated Ptc-s: The individual membeis of the na tional boaid of tubltiatlon aie using , their best efforts to bilng about a set tlement of the stiike. "Last month the members of the boaid met with the opetators and rep lesentatlvcs ot tho United Mine Work ers ol Ameilca, In an crfott to sccuie concessions Horn clthei side that would be the means ot ottllng the strike. The operalois icfused to aibltiate or to concede a single point, and Piesldent Mitchell wan obliged to return to the headquui toi s ol hlH Older with noth ing to offei the millets. They accord ingly stiuck for the advance of wages asked foi. "Up to Inst Mondev, when I left New Yoik, both sides vveie standing linn, nnd fiom the condition of things I think the countiy will see a bitter con test. I wns told bj Piesldent Mitchell 'that the mlneis weio never In better financial condition than now to enter a stiike and the ate conlldeut of win ning. For some time the unthiaeitrs mlneis have hud plenty of wntk and have been ablo to lay by money. Presi dent Mitchell is of tho opinion that the will be ablo to hold out at least sl months mid doubtless longer. In the meantime, evetythlug possible Ji being donev to aibltiate the ellffeiences. "I nm of the opinion that If tho "tilke shall not be settled within tho neNt eight or ten days, mlneis In tho bituminous Helds will be asked to go nut 'in .sympathy for their eastern biethien. A convention of bituminous opeiatois to decide what action to tako in the mutter Is under contemplation, but the dnte of the meeting or place has not vet been decided on. Should u sympathetic strike be decided on, piobably as many as 4r.0,000 miners In the bituminous ileitis would go out," Mr. Smgent was asked If he thought the stiike would Involve the lallioad men Intel. "No," ho said, "I don't think thn stiike will spiead among tho railroad men. It Is against their Jules to go Into such a strike. Aside from the Height handlers on the coal roads af fected by tho present strike, I do not think It will bo felt by the railroads. In the event of a strike among tho bitu minous minors, anyone can see that tho tesult would bo disastrous, because al most every line of business would sut tct."
