Thanks to Friends.
BALTIMORE, July 3.5overnor Wilson
will in the main determine the direction
of his own campagn for president; pass
upon the desirability of appointing a
campaign committee and . confer with a
sub-committee of the national committee
on the naming of the officers of the new
democratic national committee.
This . was the sense of the members
of the new national committee which
met today and after continuing the of
ficers of the old committee in power un
til a permanent organization was ef
fected, designated a sub-committee of
five, consisting of Chairman Mack, Sec
retary Wodson and three other commit
teemen, to confr with Governor Wilson
on permanent organization of the new
committee and plans for the campaign.
The committee heard a protest made
by Congressman George F. O'Shaunessy
of Rhode Island, against the seating of
George W. Greene of Woonsocket on the
committee.
'The committee dismissed the protest.
The name of W. F. McCombs of New
York, campaign manager of Governor
Wilson, t was talked about ' this after
noon as a likely c.iolce for either the
new national chairman or head of a cam
paign committee.
Wilson Mar Retain Governorship.
SEA GIRT, N. J., July 3. "I have not
had time to think of all these things."
Governor Wilson came out of the "little
white house," sat in an easy chair on his
porch, crossed his lej, took off his
glasses and thus' replied today to ' a
bombardment of questions nurled at him
by a group of reporters. He was looking
rather careworn and tired. "
"I don't know yet whether I shall ap
point Mr. McCombs my cai.ipaign man
ager or suggest him for the chairman
ship of the national committee," he said.
"I haven't decided whether I shall re
sigh as governor of New Jersey. I haven't
had time to read the"' platform. I have
mad o campaign plans, j , , '
"These, and .ottae? detain
up in due time with my "'iA.a , I oar
fellows,' they will have to get some rest;
("To all the thoughtful and generous
f riends who Have sent me mpsages of
cpngratulatlon I . want,, to express my
hearty v thanks. I shall not be able to
answer them individually, I am afraid,
they are so delightfully numerous. I hope
this' inadequate acknowledgement Will
fall under their eyes. These messages of
personal confidence help greatly to make
public service seem worth while."
Likes Work of His Supporters.
"Do you care to comment on the con
vention work?"
"I can only say that I am much grati
fied by its harmonious ending. As to the
work of my supporters, I never saw any
thing like it for absolute devotion to
what they wanted to accomplish. There
were many of them, my warm personal
friends."
Whatever else the governor does, ' he
will continue to visit Trenton every
Tuesday morning, .the custom set when
the summer mansion was first built. f
keeping "governor's day" at the state
capital. His friends are positive that he
will not resign as governor until after
. the first of next year, as under the New
Jersey law the president or the senate
automatically takes the governor's seat
on the latter's resignation. John D.
Prince, the present president of the. sen
ate, is a republican.
"The governor would rather wait until
a democrat is elected president of the
senate," said one of his friends today,
"although he has a very nign personal
regard for Mr. Prince. His term expires
"on the third Monday in January, 1914."
Governor Write Shorthand.' '
Among the governor's accomplishments
he boasts a mastery of snortnand. He
displayed his knowledge of this today by
making notes for dictation. As he wrote,
leaning his head on the arm of his easy
chair, the camera squad snapped him
again and again and a moving picture
man recorded his movements. "
"Shorthand?" asked the governor, ' look
ing up in answer to a query. "Why, yes.

MP-
Senator Hitchcock .
Predicts Election of
Woodrow Wilson
BALTIMORE, Md., July l-Senator
Hitchcock today made the following
statement on the outcome of the demo
cratic presidential contest:
"Looking' back at the torfy-ftve ballots
which I cast for Champ Clark, I am
satisfied with the record. He was the
choice of Nebraska democrats and I car
ried out their will. So did Kelly of Ban
croft and McShane of Omaha, who voted
with me.
, "Nevertheless I am highly satisfied
with, the nomination ot Wilson. He will
make an invincible candidate and a great
president. He has grown steadily in
strength during the last sixty days.
Roosevelt's defeat at Chicago did much
to bring about and make desirable Wil
son's nomination in Baltimore. The re
publicans detached from their own party
by Roosevelt's struggle will flock to Wil
son's .banner as they would to no other
leader. This argument helped Wilson's
managers immensely. It was unanswer
able. '
"I have great sympathy for Champ
Clark. He deserved the honor more than
any other man. He was deserted by
leaders who were under great personal
obligations to him. Instructions from
conventions and primaries were , broken
to tear delegates away from 'Old Champ
Clark,' as his followers affectionately call
him.
"The Wilson sentiment was Irresistibly
and it will be irresistible in the cam
paign." Three Persons Meet

trying to abduct the girl, who looks
younger than she really is 19 years old.
"I'm McQuillan, the pitcher," explained
the young man.
"All right, McQuillan," answered the
officer, "this probably will go on tne
record books as 'caught stealing.' "
A telegram was sent to the girl's mother
in Lovington, 111., who confirmed her
daughter's statement regarding her age.
"We eloped," said the smiling girl. "A

WASHINGTON. July 3.-A. Piatt
Andrew today tendered his resignation to
President Taft as assistant secretary of
the treasury.
In a spirited letter to the president, Mr.
Andrew writes of conditions in the trea
sury which are alleged to be due to the
attitude of Secretary MacVeagh toward
many of his subordinates.
Assistant Secretary Andrew's letter of
resignation charges that subordinates In
the Treasury department "have been
hampered and discouraged at every turn
by Secretary MacVeagh's ldlosyncracles
and his incapacity for decision." It
contains a scathing arraignment of Secre
tary MacVeagh's administration of "gov
ernment affairs" and created a profound
sensation in official circles.
Other Officers Dissatisfied.
One portion of Andrew's letter to the
president is susceptible of being Inter
preted to the effect that old high officials
in the treasury are dissatisfied with Sec
retary MacVeagh's treatment of them.
"For further evidence of . the peculiar
difficulties which surround the handling
of business In the treasury" he suggests
that President Taft consult Lawrence O.
Murray, comptroller of the currency; Lee
McClung, treasurer of the United States;
Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bureau
of engraving and printing; Charles A.
Kram, auditor for the postofflce; Royal
E. Cabell, commissioner of Internal rev
enue; James Knox Taylor, former super
vising architect, and Charieg D. Norton,
Mr. Andrew's predecessor and former sec
retary to the president.
Stands By MacVeagh In Crisis.
Mr. Andrew's letter to Secretary' Mc
Veagh, advising nim of the resignation,
discloses the hitherto unpublished fact
that Mr.' MacVeagh was on the verge of
leaving the cabinet in December, 1910. In
one part the letter says:
"You oannot forget how 1 stood by you
when you were on the point of hav)ng
taken from Jour" hands -what probably
we the-mo&S important undertaking" of
your ' administration. When the White
House in, Decpniber, 1310," without" con
sulting 'with you, and entirely ' wthoiit
your knbwledgOj, entered Info negotiations
for an issue of1 Panama bonds, the em
barrassment of the situation threatened
to force your resignation. You will re
member that I did everything in my
power to avert your humiliation and that
I loyally agreed to resign and. leave the
service with you if your resignation be
came necessary." .
Text of Dr. Andrew's Letter.
Dr. Andrew's letter to the president
says, in part:
"In presenting my resignation of the
office with which you have favored me
I deem It proper to acquaint you with
conditions which have existed in the
treasury for the last two years at least,
and which are of grave concern not only
to every official of the treasury, but also
to the many thousands throughout the
country who have business to conduct
with this department.
"For a long time the transaction of
much of the treasury's business has been
at a standstill and an outbreak of some
sort has been Imminent. Many able and
energetic treasury officials have had to
bear the brunt of harsh criticism from
people outside who have suffered interm
inable delays In their business with the
treasury for which the secretary alone
was responsible, and at the same time
they have had to submit to criticism even
more harsh and more undeserved from
Mr. MacVeagh himself whenever discov
ered that they had ventured to act upon
some matter of minor Importance with
out awaiting his decision. Time and again
heads of the great divisions of the treas
ury have found themselves unable to
carry on the business entrusted to them
and have been discouraged to the verge
of resigning their positions because they
v.ePc unable to obtain any opinion or de
cision from Mr.' MacVeagh upon urgent
questions which had been before him
for many months.
"At the same time they have Invariably
been reproached by him for such limited
action as they may have been compelled
to take on their own responsibility.
"Mr. MacVeagh's mental attitude Is
difficult to realize by those who have not
had Intimate everyday experience with
It. - Toward many of the higher officials
he has from time to time displayed an
aversion, suspicion and dlstruct, whici
In view of the fact that these officials
were men of his own choosing, would
seem Inexplicable in a man of normal
mind. For many months at a time he
has persistently refused even to speak
to those officials of his department with
whom he should naturally have been in
constant, personal communication.
Refused to Speak to Hilles.
"When Mr. Hilles was assistant secre
tary of the treasury there was at least
one period amounting to several weeks
during which Mr. MacVeagh refused to
have any relations with him. I know
there were several longer periods of curi
ously suspended relations with Assistant
Secretary Norton. Mr. McClung, the
treasurer of the United States, affirms
that ,he has only been allowed one
short interview with the secretary dur.
ing a period covering more than
a year. Mr. Ralph, the director
of the bu:cau of engraving and printing,
has repeatedly complained of similar
treatment of himself, and many other In
stances could be cited. In my own case,
with an office adjoining ind communicat
ing with that of the secretary, the sltua-

BALTIMORE, July S.-Governor Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey for president
and Governor Thomas R. Marshall of In
diana for vice president was the ticket
completed by the democratlo national
convention at v.t t m. today.
The nomination Of Governor Marshall
for vice president Came as something of a
surprise for when the night's balloting
for vlca president began it seemed that
the Bryan-Wilson contingent in the con
vention had. definitely settled upon Gover
nor John K. Burke of North Dakota.
There was not much of a fight, how
ever, and when two ballots disclosed
Marshall easily in the lead, Governor
Burke's name was withdrawn and Mar
shall was proclaimed the nominee by ac
clamation. A mlnuta later the conven
tion had adjourned sine die. I
The delegates, worn nd weary, made
their way out of the big convention hall
singing and happy , to be started for home.
Governor Wilson was nominated at the
afternoon session on the forty-sixth bal
lot and his nomination, like that of Gov
f rnor Marshall tonight, was quickly made
unanimous. The best of feeling pervaded
both sessions and the delegates seemed
to be In a happy frame of mind.
Valedictory speech by Bryan. .
Mr. Bryan had announced his intention
of introducing a resolution In effect dis
charging the national committee from
conduct of the coming campaign and al
lowing Governor Wilson to appoint his
own campaign committee. He was dis
suaded from this; course, and Instead of
making a move that might have stirred
up strife, -he made a little speech which
he termed his "valedic tory" and in happy
vein turned over the mantle of his former
leadership as a presidential candidate to
Governor Wilson.
He pledged his faithful support to the
presidential nominee' and ended by urging
that either Governor Burke or Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon be nominated for
vicr president.' The N-umskan un
derstood particularly to favor .Governor ,
Curke, as a type of the modern "progres-i;ve.--'
- ' '
Whn, after the ' first ballot soma on
moved to make the nomination of Mar
shall unanimous, Mr. Bryan started for
the stage to make a statement The mo
tion was withdrawn before he could
speak. When the motion was renewed
after the second ballot Mr. Bryan did not -protest.

End Made to Long Ftht.
, BALTIMORE, June 2. Governor Wood
low Wilson of New Jersey was nomi
nated for president of the United Staves
by the democratic national invention at
the afternoon cession totfa), when. - on
the forty-sixth ballot, he received 980
votes to 84 for Champ Clark. The Mis
souri delegation, which had remained
faithful to Clark to the end, then moved
that the nomination be made unanimous.
There was a great chorus of approval and
the long fight was over.
Only four ballots were necessary today
to reach a nomination. When the. con
vention adjourned last night the conven
tion had seemed to be in an all but hopev
less deadlock. Wilson had begun to lose ,
ground on the last few ballots and Champ
Clark had made a few temporary gains.
This encouraged the speaker to rush over
to Baltimore from Washington this morn
ing in the hope of still further turning
the tide and rallying his forces to a
final stand.
When the speaker arrived, however, he
learned that the Illinois delegation at an
early morning conference had decided 'to
switch from Clark to Wilson. This meant
a change of fifty-eight votes and was as
fatal to Clark's chances as it was in
spiring to the Wilson forces.
The Wilson forces went to the conven-;
tion hall at noon in the firm belief that
the New Jersey governor would be nom
inated before another adjournment was
taken. As they had expected, the vote
