Requests that Governor Hughe be aent Into western atatea to make campaign speeches have been received in great num bers, and many of tha chairmen of state central committees have been Inalatent in their demands. The national committee re fralnud from asking Governor Hughes to take part In the campaign because It was not deemed wise to do anything that would look ' like Interference In the contest be tween New York organization lea -t and Hughes' supporters over the guben torlal situation. There Is no longer any reason why an Invitation to speak should be withheld from Governor Hughes, and he will be aaked to visit as many states as he can In the time he has to spare from his own campaign.

Vorya, Mr. Tiffs chief of staff reached here last night from his New York conference and stated that Chairman H.tclicock and Senator Dixon would be haw from Chicago tomorrow, when Mr, Taft's speaking Itinerary will doubtless be decided upon. 1 Judge Taft today shook hands with delegation of cltlsens from Greenfield, Ind. who pursed through the city on an excur sion. ... Mr. Taft In a few remarks of appreciation for the visit, said: 1 value the fact that you are interested in tho campaign as evidence by your pres. ence here to meet one of the victims of that campaign engaged In going through two months of a nervous strain that would bring nervous prostration to people leas able to slatnd such a strsln thsn we two, or perhaps the several gentlemen engaged In the controversy."

Mr. Taft said today, after receiving the lateat re turns, was In no way a surprise, nor was It significant as bearing cn the national campaign. "Tha whole question at Issue," he added, "was tha re-submission- of a prohibition question. Two weeks ago I was Informed that for this reason the republican majority would, be reduced to just about the extent It has been." After the Vermont election Mr. Taft had ttila to aay: "Th vote in Vermont Is much more sig nificant, as one cast under normal condi tions, than will be tha vote In Mslne next week, because It Is understood that the peculiar situation thera this year prevents reduced republican majority thera having a national bearln.

Y., Bept. 15.-The first sesKlon of the democratic state conven tion, held here, beginning- at 12:10 p. m.. lasted less than an hour and was devoted exclusively to the opening address of ex Judge Morgan J. O'Brien and to routine business resolutions. Vpon the sojournment of the convention the' leaders returned to their tasks of se lecting a candidate for governor arxl In settling the perplexing McCsrren-Murphy controversy.1 It was predicted that a sat isfactory agreenient.would .be- reached. The McCarren delegates sgalnst whom contests had been entered before the stata committee were unseated by that body last night. This was not- unexpected as the committee as sat, present constituted was known to be antagonistic to the Brooklyn leader. Senator "McCarren took with him to the convention hall a resolution which he declared he .would present at the earliest opportunity calling for a complete reor ganization of the., state committee, and the election of a new membership. Senator McCarren says ho will first make his fight before the credentials committee, and If unsuccessful there will carry the matter to the floor of the convention. . ' . Bryan to "peak "Wednesday. Conferences were continued today looking to a settlement of the nomination for gov ernor, but little definite, progress had been made up to the time for tho opening of the convention. The nominating session will not be held until late tomorrow afternoon, and may, as a matter of fact, .have to be postponed until Thursday on. nccount of the visit of William J. Bryan,. Who will address the,, convention . Wednesday night. . . Every effort, will be made, however, to get th gubernatorial nomination,, at least, out of tha way before Mr. Bryan arrives. This la he wish of the presidential candidate, who does not desire to be put In the position of having Influenced the selection of a candi date, in tlio state, convention. - Lieutenant Governor . Chanlor remained this morning to all outward appearances the leading candidate for nomination as head of the state ticket. Leader Murphy's expression of opinion In favor of Supreme Court Justice- James W. Gerard of New York City, became public this morning for the first time. The frlunds of Mr. Chanler, however, continued their efforts to convince Mr. Murphy that tha lieutenant governor's strength up the state entitled him to first consideration. - ' The race for subordinate places on the ticket continues an open one, with a host of candidates In the field for all of the offices. The Tammany delegation enlivened the morning with their usual convention parade. There were severs!, hundred, rr) em bers of tha organisation in nne, and tha line of march led through two miles of the principal streets. McCarren Ready to Bolt. Senator McCarren said today that all the delegates from Kings county would be seated or the delegation would leave the convention. "We have taken that attitude In the caucus," said the senator, "and there will be no change. The Kings county democracy la for its rights first and harmony second The delegates from Brooklyn were fairly elected and we propose that they shall be seated." Reports were revived again today that the differences between State Chairman Conners and Charles F. Murphy had been aggravated by the suggestion tbat Conners would side with Senator McCarren In his fight. It was nearly an hour after the time set for assembling when State Chairman Con ners called the convention to order. The delay was due to a conference between National Chairman Mack, State Chairman Conners and Charles F. Murphy and Sen ator McCarren. Mr. Conners, chairman of the state com mittee, announced the temporary officers and Introduced Judge Morgan J. O'Brien of New York as temporary chairman. When the two contested Brooklyn) dis tricts acted on by the state committee last night, were reached on the roll call. Senator McCarren arose and was recog nized to send substitute lists to the clerk's desk. The lists were automatically re ferred to the committee on credentials without debate. George V. 8. Williams of Brooklyn arose and filed a protest against the McCarren delegatea In eight districts. He was greeted with a storm of hisses, hoots and catcalls, which the chairman had difficulty In suppressing. The first session adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow. The race seems to hav resolved Itself into a contest between the upstate dele gates, who are declared to be strongly in favor of Mr. Chanler, and the Tammany delegates, with their alliances throughout the state, who will follow the suggestions of Mr. Murphy. Justice Gerard has long been prominent in democratic councils In New York city und was elected last fall to the supreme court b ench. It waa announced from authoritative sources that thera Is an abso lute understanding between Chairman Conners and Leader Murphy and that all talk of serious trouble between them is without the slightest foundation. Mr. Murphy's wrd as to a gubernatorial can didate had been awaited here with a great deal of anxiety as having prepondering weight in tha settlement of the nomination. Definite progress has been made on the groundwork of a platform. The Hushes sdminlatratlon will be attacked as one of groas extravagance, especially In the matter of creation of a public aervtce commission which. It will be declared, has given no ado quate return tor tha Immense amount of expenditure Involved. The ' platform will saaert that far fiom bettering transit con ditions in Greater New York, th com mission has seen them growing steadily worse. Practically every detail of Gover nor Hughes' administration will be at tacked except his advocacy of th antl-raco track gambling bills. The only reference mart which will approach that subject will be a declaration In favor of peraonal lib erty, freedom of thought and speech and the enactment of no sumptuary laws. The platform will Indorse th candidacy and th policies of William J. Bryan in glowing terma. Th entire Denver platform will be heartily approved. Two Brotherhoods to Affiliate. COLUMBUS. O., Sept.

ALL FOUR COKGRESSUEir ELECTED Republicans Regain) Six Cltlea In State, LeaTlnaj Municipalities Keenly 'v Divided, . Legislature ' SMrwnslr Republican. PORTLAND. Me., Sept. li-Addltlonal 1 and revised returns en ado early today of. the state election In Maine yesterday al- tered but slightly th result announced last night, the plurality of Bert M. Femald. the republican candidate for governor, over Obadlah Gardner, democrat, remaining at 7.C9, with twenty-five small towns and twenty-six plantations still to report. . A complete poll of the vote Is not expected for several days. , ,. The feature of the election was the in crease In the democratlo vote throughout the state. Every one of the four congres sional districts showed gains, the increaso over 1904 being 1S.00O votes and 4.000 over 1906. These gains were made almost en tirely In the rural districts, showing clearly the popularity of Mr. Gardner among the farmers of the state. The republican vote also was greater by 3.000 than In 1906, but it felt 4,000 below the vote in 1904. The republicans also mado good gaina !n the rural districts and In ad dition regained six cities In the state, which left the municipalities evenly divided be tween the two parties. The Incoming legislature will be strongly republican In both branches. Republicans Elect Ceagrrainea, All four republican candidates for con gress were elected, and for state auditor. Charles P. Hatch of Augusta, republican, defeated his opponent. The republicans were on the defensive throughout the campaign, seeking to hold the state by the usual plurality by answer ing the aiious democratic arguments. which were mainly for resubmission of the prohibitory law, taxation of the wild lands and reform In administrative methods. But little was said of national issues. - Th republicans strongly defended the so called Sturgls law and urged the voters to support Its stringent methods In the en forcement of the cause of prohibition. Nearly 140.000 voters went to the polls, a number which was within a few thousand of the record for the state. The democrats gained over four years ago In nearly every county and city, although some of the municipalities which went democratic two years, ago returned to the republican fold todays Congressmen Allen. Burleigh, John G. Swasey and Frank E. Guernsey, republi cans, are re-elected. TAFT'S WESTEHX ITIXEHARY Details Will Not Be Announced I'ntll He Haa Approved 'Them. CHICAGO, Sept. 15.

GIRL VICTIM OF MISTAKE Dylnsjr . Statement Bears Out This Theory of the Caae. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 16. (Special.) There have been no new developments in the mysterious Addle Bailey murder case. The young woman died yesterday after noon, and the body was today sent to the old home at New Lexington, O, After carefully, summing up the circum stances of the shooting, and taking into consideration the last and dying statement of Miss Bailey, the authorities have about concluded that the girl, waa the victim of a mistake, and that her murderer waa after some other person. Miss Bailey realized she was going to die. and In a very solemn manner told the sheriff and county attorney that she spoke the whole truth when she said she did not know the man that shot her, that there had been no quarrel, that she had no lover, had not been out with a man since coming to Cheyenne, and that during her stay in Denver she had had no steady company. In tho opinion of the dying girl she was mistaken for someone else. The post-mortem investigation only served to strengthen the story told by tho unfortunate young woman, and the report that she was married and was probably shot by her husband after a quarrel Is not now entertained. In all probability the murder will be recorded as another of those mysterious tragedies that may never bo explained.
