In this series, however, there has been but 19 hits made off his de livery in the 27 innings that he has been on the mound.

HARTMAN Union Policemen and Firemen Stand Firm on Order to Dissolve Macon, Ga., Sept. 17. —Union po licemen and firemen still stood adamant to-day on their refusal to obey the order of the Civil Service Commission of this city that they dissolve their unions or resign, and events of the last 24 hours had serv ed only to complicate the situation. The police appear to have scored a success in the promotion of their former senior lieutenant, Martin Thompson, who holds a union card, to Chief of Police, following the resignation of Warren McWilliams. the rangy Texan and war veteran, whose appointment Saturday was hailed with delight by Macon citi zens. McWilliams who promised a speedy restoration of law and order when he was appointed Chief, ad mitted on resigning yesterday that the situation was more than he could cope wit*'. Governor Returns Just Before Dawn Governor William C. Sproul came back to Harrisburg at three o'clock this morning after having spent the greater part of his birthday in his home city of Chester, and will spend the rest of the week here consider ing the Philadelphia rent profiteer ing charges and matters pertaining to the Public Instruction and other State departments. The data on Philadelphia's rent and house situation asked by him reached the Capitol to-day. having been forwarded by Isaac L. S. Sniink, one of the committee which waited on the Governor a few days ago. It is a bulky bundle of papers and will take several days to examine. It is probable that it will be referred to people in the Attorney General's department. The Governor and At torney General William I Schaffer wiil not be able to take it' up to-day as Mr. Schaffer is engaged on the ! State Board of Pardons. Governor Sproul's friends carried through the county ticket in the Re publican primary in Delaware county and broke even on the Chester city council nominations.

HOVERTER AND HARTMAN WIN [Continued from First Page.] Democratic ticket and is not expect ed to do much campaigning between now and November. He is merely the leader of a fornlorn hope and has offered himself as a sacrifice to party loyalty. Oliver C. Bishop, of the lower end, a man well qualified by long expe'i ence for the office, was named o> the Republicans for county treas urer over his opponent, Jo6hue 13. Rutherford, who made a good run under the circumstances. He will have as his opponent George M. Weaver. The Republicans nominat ed J. H. Lehr, Frank B. Snavely ami Jacob S.

Parthemore are £,. wlnne r 8 on the Democratic side The primaries in the city were more than ordinarily active but were not complicated by the non-partisan con tests of other years. The men with or ganization backing won out in every case, the city treasurership being any man s race up to the closing hour of the polls. Both candidates on the Re publican side, Harry F. Oves and Clarence E. Weber and their friends were busy from early morning until evening and it was not until well past i midnight that Weber gave up the fight. To-day Mr. Oves, who was for a i short term city treasurer and is well I qualified -by experience for the office, is being heartily congratulated for the nomination practically assures the elec tion. James G. Miles is the Democratic nominee. The nomination of Alderman George A. Hoverter, of the Ninth ward, over Mayor Daniel L. Keister and Alder man Jacob H. Shaner, of the Seventh ward, was freely forecasted before the I primaries and the result was never ! for a minute in doubt. Hoverter had j more votes than all the other candidates | combined his election is as certain i as anything political can be. His many statements made at the close of the | campaign last Saturday won him many j supporters and he is being heartily J congratulated to-day. He has been a ! resident of Harrisburg more than forty years and was a member of select ■ council when elevated to the alderman- j ship of the Ninth ward some years I ago. It was also a foregone conclusion I that the four Councilmen now in of fice, Charles W. Burtnett, Dr. Samuel F. Hassler, E. Z Gross and William ] H. Lynch, would be re-nominated, so j that chief Interest lay among their j friends in seeing who of them would j come out ahead, that honor falling to Dr. Hassler. The same can be said i of the race between DeWitt A. Fry, ! at present City Controller and Harry j R. Brown, for the Republican con- I Irollership nomination, Fry winning j out hands down. He will have as his ! Democratic opponent, G. C. Berkheim- j or. The Democratic nominees for I Council arc H. H. Brant. W. S. Rhoads. j Lieutenant George A. Shoemaker, and i Clader B. Shammo. Democratic Organisation Atlas The Democratic organization in win- ! ning its fight for Mayor, put the skids j under William B. McNair, the avowed ! labor candidate, who would have had j the nomination opposed, if the Me-; Cormick faction at the last minute i had not got behind Dr. Hartman, in ducing him to get into the race on the [ evening of the last day for filing pe- j titions. Democratic organization j workers were busy concentrating I on Hartman all the past week.
