which i headed by Charles II. Ducll, Jr.,
it mr.t active urbanization In trying to
let CI. Itoosevelt to Indorse Mr. Whit
man Coupled with these reports was the
intlm.itmti hat Mr. Whitman himself
would admit to-day the authorship of a
letter casting off Ilarnes.
District Attorney Wliltman said over
the telephone from his home on I'ryce's
N'eik Newport, last night:
"ThiMC c.i i l'c no statement or letter
tmanatlns f'oin ine to-morrow. I hao
mutt no attack uon William Ilarnes, Jr.,
or upon any other Individual. 1 have
Mitten no letter concerning Mr. Dames

'I Am Whitman'. .Mini."
"I'nl.l Tub Sun called me to-night I
did nut know that thcro was any such re
port In circulation. I don't think that
Mr, Ducll originated the report. My posi
tion ihould be perfectly clear by thin
tine t , everybody. I am Whitman's man.
I mi dead against the boss system In
trt sovernmenL Since Mr. Ilnrncs has
Mir attempted to give me orders I can
not therefore attack Mr. Humes.
"I nil) return to New York on Tuesday
morning It may be that 1 will have
something to say when I get back. Hut I
don't nee that any comment is necessary
to-night Xi man who knows me per
iorall or has followed my professional
or nllt. al career can possibly Imagine
that I would bend to the suggestion of any
part) los "
As.de from the tccond refusal to In
deral Mr Whitman, the most surprising
tap taken by Col. Itoosevelt caterday
u flaifooted declination to stand for
HirvoT i, Hinman as a Republlcan-Pro-fnssive
for Governor.
After It becamo certain that the Colonel
a going to turn his back on Wliltman
vn many of his closo friends felt sure
tint he would support Illnman. The
Colonel and Mr. Illnman hav been
friends for years. It was understood that
th Colonel had really no other candidate
av Mr Illnman to suggest to his eager
to!loHrs. And yet suddenly came a
definite elimination of Air. Illnman.
Col Itooscvelt's second repudiation of
Mr Wliltman and his somewhat unex
pected repudiation of Mr, Illnman came
taut, as Tub Hi'n can reliably state,
through letters which these men are said
to have written nttncklng Mr. Ilarnes and
V.,
organization, It so happens, however.
trat Mr Whitman could not hne known
that Mr llmman was writing such a
Inter and that Mr. Hinman could not
have known of Mr Whitman's letter.
After Col Itoosevelt returned from
Fpaiii n-'i then Issued a statement roundly
"lenour -ing Mr Whitman as a boss ridden
Pl ''".nr the boss being Mr. Ilarnes, the
W'nima N'on-Partlsan league wrote a

Tho,r.rp HmiKinK Itoblnson nnd other
nhr K Progressives ho declined to have
"H'iiiir to do with Mr. Wliltman.
'I was said when the Colonel came back
that thn principal antipathy to Mr, Whit
man was- bnstvl on his failure to attack
the bosses of his own party. Hut Mr. Duell
persisted. It Is no secret that lie has been
running back ami forth between tho
principal Itepubllcnn tlguro and tho Colo
nel nt Oyster Hay.
Mr. UueJi could not be found Inst night,
but there Is authority for the statement
that he was in Oyster Hay-nn Saturday
and that he or somebody else favorable to
the Progressive Indorsement for .Mr. Whit
man had left there a copy of what pur
turns to be Mr. -Whitman's repudiation of
Hemes.
The utmost secrecy has surrounded this
alleged letter. The Progressives say that
It was actually written about the tlrsl of
this month. As soon ,as It was received
(this Is the story that Is being told) Mr.
Ducll hastened to Ojte Hay to submit
the letter to Col. Itoosevelt and to try to
get him to change front on Whitman.
The Colonel refued. Then, as Thk SUN
Is Informed, Mr. Duell and Progressives
of his persuasion tried in set the Colonel
to promise that he, would apeak kindly of
Mr. Whitman at least refrain from at
tacking him.
The Colonel refused to make any prom
ise. Then It was decided to make the al
leged Whitman letter public on July 6.
Hut there was still a chance, they thought,
to bring Col. Itooicvelt over and they kept
delaying action until Saturday, when the
Colonel's attitude left nothing to be hoped
for. Therefore It was decided to make
public a letter which the District Attorney
says he never wrote.
Col. Itoosevelt has been told In the last
few days that Harvey D. Hinman wrote
to a close friend a letter which denounced
Mr. Ilarnes. Friends of Mr. Illnman who
took this news to Col. Roosevelt hoped
that it would be stifllclcnt to line hi in
up with Mr. Illnman. Yesterday they
were shocked when they heard that the
Colonel would no more Indorse Illnman
than he would Whitman. '
Progressives, Democrats nnd ncpubll-
enns who discussed tho developments of .
the ilay were more than ever Inclined to
think that the Colonel was beginning seri
ously to contemplate his own candidacy

Hm.rST, July II. Although the cele
bration of the anniversary of the battle
of the Hoyne has so far resulted in no
serious disturbance) and the authorities at
Dublin profess to feel that there will bo
no serious trouble, there is great tension
on both sides nnd It will take but a spark
to start a big blaze.
This was exemplified at Kllrea, In the
County Derry, lute last night. A number
of Nationalists who had been out during
the evening stopped untie' an Orange arch
on their way home and began singing
heir songs, which are so offensive to tho
Orangemen, In a few moments a ctowd
of Orangemen collected nnd n general light 1
started. Stones and revolvers were used, I
hut the police succeeded In stopping the.
disturbance after one Nationalist had been
badly used up. '
Conservathe leaders of the Orangemen
ate trlug to keep their followers in hand
and the priests In their sermons In Helfast
to-day urged their (locks to refrain from
any course which would tend to cause a
disturbance.
The ilay wns observed In Derry by a
procession to the Oulldhall. Tlinre were
no disturbances. Up to the piesent writ-1

participate In the celebration to-morrow.
The authorities at Dublin feel that the
celebrations In Ulster will pass off as
peacefully as they linvo up to the preeent.
The number of extra policemen put on
duty In Ulster for the celebration Is not
any more than on the same occasion In
previous years.
Meetings were held In various parts of
Ireland to-day for the purpose, of enrolling
recruits tn the Nationalist Volunteers, It
is reported at the Nationalist headquar
ters In Dublin that recruiting la Mill
brisk. It is expected that the Nationalist
forces will number 2UO.O00 men within
six weeks.
A MitIoo. Clash In Ilerr.
In a tight between Nationalists nnd
Unionists at Kllrea, County Derry, late
last night several revolver shots were
llred nnd there wns considerable stone
throwing, but the pollco prevented nny
serious disturbance.
The trouble started when some Na
tionalists gatheied under an Orange arch
which had been erected for Ihe anniver
sary celebrations and began singing their
own nlrs. A crowd of Unionists soon as
sembled nnd there was a general fight.
Tho police rushed between tho two fac
tions and stopped tho lighting, One Na
tionalist, was severely mauled, but he was
rescued by the police.
Somo of the Unionists fired revolvers
and cried out, "Hring out the rifles." A
number of the prominent Unionists, who
wore attracted by the noise, nppeared on
tho scene and Induced their followers to
keep quiet while the police prevailed upon
tho Nationalists to leave tho neighborhood.
All the local Catholic priests In their
sermons to-day leferred to the fact that
tills was the Orangemen's holiday. They
urged tho members of their cong-cBiitlons

upon Xlexlco city, which until to-day wa
well under way by at least two of the big
divisions of tho rebel army.
At Guadnlajara Gen. Alaro Obregon Is
holding his forces In readiness to move
upon Queretaro, which Is expected to be
the last point to, offer seilous resistance to
the rebel advance upon the Federal dis
trict. Willi every preparation made to
continue the campaign Obregon was or
dered to await orders from Carranza and
the reason assigned Is that his men need
rest.
An San Luis Potosl Gen. Pablo Gon
zales has the city siirroundud and Is re
ported eager to make an attack, but he
has been ordered to wait for orders. From
San Luis PotoHl the way would be open
for Gonzales to move quickly toward the
Federal dlitrlct.

City.
Washington, July 15. Tho
death
of Justice Horace Harmon
l.urtnn
at Atlantic City to-day means that Picl
elent Wilson will bo called on to make his
by asthma. Justice l.urton was 70
ye-ars old.
Hcfore tho death of Justice l.urton the
Supreme Court was made up of six He
publicans and three Democrats. The
Democratic representation neiw Is reduced
Chief Justice- White and Associate
Justice Lamar. It Is gentially nsiunied
that a Democratic I 're-stele nt will feel Im
Prospect pelleel under such circumstances to
name a Democrat to succeed Jus
tice l.urton. Furthermore, there, Ills
' been an unwritten rule In the Senate,
which must confirm 1h nomination, that
I the minority representation on the Su
! preme bench shall injt fall below three at
'nny time.

that he would reach the Supreme bench
Wlrn the
opportunity came in Prmldint Hoosetelt'a
Admlnlsttatlor. Mr. Taft was not In a po
sition, he th.n.ght, to relinquish the wotk
he had In hnnd In order to gratify hla
ambition.
President Itoosevelt cabled hlm tender
ing hlm the place. Mr. Taft declined, but
IiIh friends Ik'lleved that before the House
vert AdmlnlMratlou ended there would be
another oppoitunltj. The movement ta
make him J'risldent prevented his ap
pointment tu the bench later, although
more than once, as a member of Mr.
HooseveU's Cabinet, Mr. Taft said that
he would lather be a member of the Su
preme Co jrt than be President.
It wot a peculiar freak of politics that
devolved upon President Taft, who had
so long cherished an ambition to acrve
on the Supreme bench, the duty of ap
pointing five members of the court, a ma
jority. Including the Chief Justice. This
much may be said In favor of the non
partisan movement that Is certain to hi
dtartol to have President Wilson appoint
Mr. Taft to the bench, thnt out of the
live men Mr, Taft nominated two wcro
Democrats, and lie promoted another
Democrat on the bench to be Chief Jus
tice. Mcll- nnlila'a .Name Mentioned.
Attorney-General Mcltej nobis Is being
mentioned as a likely successor to Justice
l.urton. He comes from Tennessee, tha
State of Justice l.urton, and la In lino
for the honor. The nnmc of Senator
Shield, of Tennessee, former Chief Justice
of that State, also will bn urged and
there are sttong political reasons which
weigh In his favor. The name of Fred
erick W. Lehmnnn of St. Louis, who
served as one of the American d 'legates
in tho mediation conferences nt Nlagnr.i
Falls, also Is mentioned, Tho friends of
Sollcltor-Oeneral John W, Davis of West
Virginia will present .Mr. Davis's name
The Sixth Judicial Circuit, from which
Ju'tlce l.urton came, is nlready repre
sented by Justice Day, and for this
reason the President may decide to ro
to somo other circuit for his nominee.
There nro only two circuits whlii are
not now represented In the Supreme
Court, the Seventh, whlrh Includes Chl
cago nnd In mnde up of the States of.
Illinois, Indiana nnd Wisconsin, nnd tha
Fourth, which Includes Virginia and other
Southern States. A strong effort will
be made to hnve the President go to the
Sevi'iilh Circuit for a Judge. Since Chief
Justice Fuller died this circuit has not
been represented, The State of Wisconsin
has somo available' material, which was
brought to the attention of Mr Taft at
