COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. Ji-Tba oonteat
between Mayo Tom I Johnson oC Cleve
land and John L. Zimmerman of spring
Aeld for the democratic gubernatorial nom
lnatlon, although within twenty-four hours
of decisive action, Is tonight as rouoh dis
puted aa ever. . At tha headquarters of
each candidate the most confident claims
are given out. Following tha withdrawal' ot
Bookwalter as the Johnson candidate for
senator, the Zimmerman man Inaugurated
a raid on the Johnson ranks, claiming
that the Instructions for) Johnson, for gov
ernor applied only to the balloting on
Wednesday and not to the selection to
morrow of members of the committee on
credentials, resolutions, eto. Tha Johnson
men met this charge by saying it was a
confession of weakness and insisted that
tha liistruolons applied to tha selection of
members of the new state central com
mittee and (ho entire organisation of the
convention. ' 4
It is still conceded that the one securing
a majority of tha committee on credentials
tomorrow afternoon will on the following
day be nominated for governor, aa there
are lit eeata out of the (8) contested and
neither candidate can win without having
ail of his delegates seated.
The Zimmerman men are also making
iesperats effort ' to make a break jn tha
Johnson ranks because of tha endorsement
of ohn H. Clarke of Cleveland, , in plaoa
at . Bookwalter, and , la this matter they
have tauaad tha Johnson managers some
trouble. One , ot the written statsmeatg
given out from the Zimmerman headquar
ters today chsrges that Johnson first failed
to get MelVllle B. Ingaila of Cincinnati
to go on his elate for senator, then Mayor
Samuel Jones of Toledo, likewise declined
and now Bookwalter has refused.
Borne of the free silver enthusiasts
who are instructed for Johnson
for governor, are..: out openly tonight
against Clarke for renatof, and the Indies
tlons that opposition will ba carried to. tha
floor of the convention If the committee on
resolutions Includes In It report the in
dorsement of Clarke.
Zimmerman Makes Trenbl.
The Zl i merman men favor a conservative
platform, such as 'the party had In Ohio
four year ago when John R. McLean
headed tha democratic ticket for governor
with additions for home rule, denouncing
the new Ohio code and favoring reforms In
state Institutions. Tha Johnson men de
clare for the reaffirmation' of last years
platform, when Johnson - had undisputed
control of the state convention,' with addl
tlonal planks favoring two cents per wills
on railways and 'three-cent fares on! street
railways, and the referendum. The plat
form as well as the ticket' and the" organ
isatloh ' for tha next year and everything
else depends upon the settlement ot the
contested seats and the places of greatest
Importance on this occasion are those rep
resenting their congressional districts on
the committee on credentials. ,
Johnson Issnea I'ltlmntnm.'
CLEVELAND, Aug. It-Regarding tha
possibility of the, non-endorsement of
candidate for the United States senate by
the democratic state convention at Coluro
bus. Mayor Johnson said, tonight that lis
would irlt upon the endorsement of some
man for.. that office and -that It tha con
ventlon refused to make such endorsement,
ha would withdraw from tha oandldacy
for the gubernatorial nomination. Tha
mayor stated that tha -reason. for his In
sistence upon there being an endorsement
by the convention waa to suppress any In
sinuatlona that ha (Johnson) would ba
candidate for the senate himself In the
event ot hla defeat aa a candidate for gov
ernor.
For weeks there has been a contest f
unususl Intensity In the eighty-eight coun
ties between Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland
and John- L. Zimmerman of Springfield, the
two candidates for tha gubernatorial noro
lnatlon. to secure, delegates.
Both come hero-claiming a majority of
the 00 delegates. Both base, their claims
on .securing the 146' delegatSs whose seats
are contested... These contests will ba
settled tomorrow. The preliminary agitation
Is ovsr the organlgattoa, of tha convention.
It la conceded that control -of .the com
mlttee, on credentials v means, control of
everything else.. Including the new atata
central .committee, that controls the organ
isation for the coming presidential year,
as well aa the committees on resolutions,
rules snd order of business and permanent
organisation, all of which are of Im
portance at the, present time In. the con
test between the Bryan men and the con
servatlvee for supremacy.
Tha withdrawn of John W. Bookwalter
as a candidate (or senatorial endorsement
to succeed Henna today advances Zlm
merman's - candidacy. Zlmtnernvpn and
Bookwalter both reside at Spring Held and It
was claimed that the Johnson men had
stsrted ths Bookwalter movement so aa to
affect Zimmerman's Interests, especially If
ths order of business could hsve been fixed
so that ths endorsement for senstor would
have come before the nomination ot the
state ticket.
The Johnson men still Insist that thera
must be sn endorsement ' for : senator
although no one has been named In Book
welter's place. The Zimmermen men arc
not In faror of tba convention naming any
one for senator.
Mora Interest Than for Tears.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. JJ.-The close con
test between Mayor Tom L. Johnson of
Cleveland '' snd John ' K Zimmerman of
Springfield for the gubernatorial nomina
tion has cause! more Interest In the demo
cratic ' state convention this week than
for many years, While both claim a ma
jority of the 690 delegates, the result de
pends on the settlement of contests In
volving 141 delegates. These contests are
rpeoted to prevent two congressional dis
tricts at Cincinnati and at Cleveland from
participating In the seleotlon of members
of the committees so that the committee
on credentials may hove only, eighteen
members voting on the first contest that Is
passed on. With the custom of taking the
contests up In alphabetical order, that of
Cuyahoga county would come first and It
would likely be decided In favor of Johnson
So that -thwre would be nineteen voting on
the contest from Qallla, Hamilton and
other counties.
The preliminary contests extend to all
parts of the organisation of tha convention.
Johnson says he could not make the race
on a Zimmerman platform and Zimmer
man says he could not run on a Johnson
platform, so both ' are seeking a majority
of ths committee on resolutions.
Bookwalter Formally Withdraws.
John W. Bookwalter, recognised as tha
Johnson candidate for United, States sen
ator, tonight gave out tha following:
Much sieased and r rat I fled as I am at
the mention of my name In connection with
the nomination of senator this week, aud
much as 1 sppreclnte the honor snd the
compliment which my friends seek to pay
me, I feel It but a matter of Justice to my
fellow-democrats of the state and to my
self to say that I am not a candidate for
such nomination and my name will not be
presented to the convention for its con
sideration. Mayor Johnson and his manager, Charles
P. Balen of Cleveland, Judge W. T. Durbln
and W. F. FInley of Kenton, Congressman
H. C. Garber of Greenville and others were
In conference here today with Bookwalter,
but the latter would not reconsider his
withdrawal. Bookwalter was accompanied
by Charles W. Constantlns of Springfield,
and they return home tomorrow.
The Johnson men say they still favor
senatorial endorsement and that It will be
a "free-for-all" race. Among those men
tioned for senatorial endorsement are:
Melville E. Ingalls, Charles W. Baker and
Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, -John H.
Clarke and L. A. Russell of Cleveland,
Allen W. Thurman, James Kllbourne and
ex-Congressman Lents of Columbus, ex

ROCKLAND, Me., Aug.'K.-AU the baU
tleshlps, cruisers and other vessels of the
comoined North Atlantic fleet, except the
collier Marcellus. had left the harbor to
nignt tor tn attack on Portland. The
preparations for departure began aarly In
the morning and at p. m. the signals were
set on ths flagship Kearsarge for the ships
to assume their positions for sailing. Be
sides the Maine naval reserve there ar
rived in town today the judges and mili
tary referees who will watch the move
ments, demonstrations, etc.
Rear Admiral Wise, with Yankee, Panther
and Essex, was the flrst to leave the
anchorage off the breakwater.' He was
followed by Admiral Sands with tha smaller
vessels, and Admiral ' Coghlan with the
cruisers. The ships made a long curve
extending toward Camden and out to Owl's
Head. Rear Admiral Barker, commanding
the fleet, followed with four or Ave of the
battleships. He proceeded directly (or
Owl's Head and overtook the head of tho
line. . With the flagship Kearsarae were
Illinois and Alabama. The battleships were
followed closely by the tugs Nina and
Peoria and the colliers Caesar and Sterling.
The torpedo boat destroyers were the last
to leave the anchorage grounds. Whipple
remained until 4:60 to take the late after
noon mall. Of the 1,000 sailors on shore
leave Sunday about twenty-five were left
behind.
PORTLAND. Me., Aug. 2.-Fort Preble
Is considered the key to the whole situs,

or even tha knoll Just to the westward of
It the other forts might have to capitulate.
But if the enemy captures all ot the other
forts Fort Preble cannot ba captured ex
cept by a heavy land attack. Fort Preble,
still holding' the key to ths situation, can
drive an enemy from all other forts accord
ing to the defenders. 'The daylight attack
on the fortifications prosably will be
brilliant affair. Probably the entire fleet
under Rear Admiral Barker wfll partial
pate. The ships will approach the fortifi
cations and as they come In range all the
guns on ths shore batteries will open fire,
After the first round only one gun of each
class will continue the Are with full blank
cartridges, while the others will use caps,
The ships will reply at first with a round
from all the guns that can be brought to
bear. After that Are will be continued by
one gun from each class. Later the fleet
will make sn attempt at landing a large
force of men on the shore. These attacks
must be made between midnight Tuesdsy
and Friday,
At sunset tonight the cosst patrol system
of the defending forces was put In opera
tion for the Arst time since the official
notification of the departure of the naval
forces for Portland. The patrol consists
of detachments from the various com
panles of the First and Bccor.d reglmenta of
tha state mllltta and stretches from Fort
Preble to Bowery Beach, some nine or ten
miles. Without this precaution the naval
forces could land small boats without

H. II. Kohlsaat of Chlcsgo was a guest
of th president and Mrs. Roosevelt at
luncheon. After his conference with the
president Mr. Kohlsaat said to a representa
tive of the Associated Press that his call
had nothing whatever to do with any con
templated change in th cabinet.
"It litis been rumored," said Mr. Kohlsaat,
"that X might be appointed postmaster
general, but there Is absolutely nothing in
that story. The president contemplates no
change In that office. In fact, he deolres
that his cabinet phould remain Intact, nt
least until the close of the present ad
ministration. Personally, ! Co not desire
public office and the president has no office
In his gift which I would accept."
Mr. Kohlsaat did discuae with tho presi
dent the subject of fihuncial leglalatlon.
For peveral weeks ho has been guthcrlng
Information for the president on the sub
ject. Ills researches have been both In the
east and west, end his net researches ho
has laid before the president. "I think
some legislation of a remedial character
may be laid at the approaching session ot
congress," he suld, . "but there Is a wide
divergence of opinion among authorities
as to what, if anything, ought to be done.
The demand for financial legislation comes
principally from the east, but even here
financiers r not in accord. In tho west
our people are not tnlnking ' much about
the matter. The west Is wonderfully pros
perous and all of our banks have so much
money they are discounting eastern com
mercial paper every day. The honest judg
ment is that whatever, financial legislation
is taken should be remedial and very bilef,
covering perhaps not mora than twenty-five
lines." . ,
