Hope of Restoration of Pence in Mexico Is Renewed in. Official Circles HARRISBURG |SS§l!s TELEGRAPH LXXXIII — No. 148 BIG ROW one AMONG BOSSES OF STATE DEMOCRACY Signs of Open Breach Between Factions Appear in Philadelphia PATRONAGE AND CASH Both at Disposal of Palmer and McCormick, but They Do Not Avail Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, June 23.—Signs of an open breach between the factions of the State Democracy were seen from the housetops this morning and the Palmer-McCormick machine leader ship is facing condition as far re moved from its hopes as could be pos sible. The "Big Four" which domi nates the Democratic party in the Keystone State by dint of federal pat ronage and cash is in conference seek ing a way to prevent the President, who has helped them so much, and the nation from witnessing the Demo cracy of Pennsylvania entering upon a campaign split wide open. To-day the situation presents a test of leader ship which men who have been re galed for months on stories of the qualifications of the present bosses will watch with the greatest interest. Those close to the inner council real ize that unless Palmer and McCormick want to force an open tight with the Philadelphia Democratic city commit tee they let slip golden opportunities last night when the city committee met. They had it in their power to take away the perfunctory character of the city committee endorsement of the State ticket by appearing at the meeting, in which event, say observers here, the committee would have had ; to invite them to make a speech and j the repudiation of the personally die- ! tated platform would not have occur-; red. or if it had would have been over- : looked. Instead, Palmer and McCor-1 mick are to-day very much in the po- j sition of men who have had hats taken i off to their face and who have then I been kicked in the back. McCormiek Miffed McCormick, lacking the poise of the! self-made Palmer, is said to he rather | ruffled over the treatment handed out j by the committee last night and hav ing lost a chance to make a speech j atjd to be in the limelight, is inclined j to listen to the yawping of those mem bers of his faction who were denied a j seat in the city committee. These men are demanding that the inside ring or, executive committee be called and the ! Philadelphia city committee, elected by the people, he thrown out. Falmer and "Headsman Blakslee are said to he against such arbitrary action. Both have been on the roller coasters of Carbon and Monroe county j politics and know what it is to be i down in the depths and also how fine; Is the vision when they are up. Mc-1 Cormick and State Chairman Morris, i neither of whom knows anything hut his own sweet will, are thirsting for revenge. To add to the troubles caused by the howls of the men who were ed down by the city committee, the; bosses face more or less ruction in j their own ranks over the portions of i federal patronage pie cut in the last! twenty-four hours. A number of up— State leaders have been down here and I are kicking over what has been hand ed out and saying that they can not! be sure of sending Democratic con-1 pressmen to help out the pale scholar! who tries to bos 3 government, busi- j ness and public opinion from the ; White House.

S. Government By Associated rress Washington. D. C.. June 2 3.—Hope for the restoration of peace in Mexico through diplomacy was rekindled in administration circles here to-day by th>> outlook that the Constitutionalists would send delegates to confer with members of the Huerta mission, from whom they long have held aloof. Sec retary Bryan declined to discuss de tailed proposals l'or the meeting. Nevertheless, there was a distinct air of optimism apparent here over ex pectations that the mediators might be able to announce late to-day or to morrow the personnel of the Consti tutionalist delegation and the general purposes of the informal conference. One menace to the success of the plan, it was pointed out. was the re cent breach between Villa and Car ranza. the Constitutionalist chiefs. Whether their differences had been sufficiently composed so that a Con stitutionalist delegation could work without embarrassment was a question that the Washington government was said to be seeking to determine to-day. Villa is Determined Villa was reported to be determined to fight his way through to Mexico City. However, plans for the meeting of the Carranza and Huerta repre sentatives do not contemplate an armistice at this time. Not until they had reached some definite agreement over the establishment of a provisional government would there be an at tempt to call a halt on hostilities.

This question Is .iust now be ing threshed out by the committee re cently named at the joint meeting of the Associated Charities and the Socie ty for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, but so far, although several sites have been viewed, no selection has been made. The committee consists of Dr. J. W. Eilenberger, Dr. C. R. Phillips and Dr. J. M. J. Raunick. A site suggested was the upper end of McCormick Island about opposite Division street, but it was found that the ground was too low, and subject too much to the mists of the river as well as being a breeding place for mosquitos. High ground will doubt less be selected. The committee will probably recommend the selection of a site either on or contiguous to the municipal property, with a view to its permanent acquisition at some future date.
