an Arctlcllko gale, Francla Oulmct. !
prldo of tho New England links, went
down to defeat on tho courso of tho
Engineers' Country Club nt lloslyn,
L. I., yesterday In the thlrty-slx hole
final of tho national amateur golf
rl iiniplonshlp beforo hln deadly rival,
Charles Evano., Jr., of Edgewatcr,
Chicago, by tho declslvo scoro of 7
up nnd 6 to play.
Never hnn a blirffer surprise been
served up In the hmt round of the an
nual classic, for at the ntnrt of tho
dity'H piny oddH of 10 to g had been
freely offered that Oulmct would win.
Some wagern wero tnado by confident
Ilotonlana at asjlong odds as 12 to 8, i
niu u is just powmic mat several or
tho moro cnthunlastlo made nn oven,
bljigor aacrlllce of their wealth.
Hut If the New England contingent
was the moro enthusiastic at the out
set they did not lack for takers. Thn
renult wns that lloston'H financial
nlructuro received n shock almost
equal to that given It when the "wiz
ard of finance," Ponr.l, closed his
doors. ,
If ever a golfer won on his mcrlta
that one was Evnns In this match.
Chick gathered unto himself a lend of
two holes In the morning, and In tho
nltcrnoon he idmply was rampant.
Kvuna may lack his full share of
inntch play courage and all that sort
of thing, but none who saw this sec
end tilt of the big two In American
golf will bellevo uch a thing. Tho
Chlcngoan's afternoon round was In
deed a withering blast, for In twelve
hclen ho made only one mistake, this
being when ho pulled his npproach for
the eleventh nnd had to play from a
bunker. And It was hero that Oulmct
won his first nnd only hole of tho
round.
After the match those who had at
tended every day since play for the
rhnmplonshlp began found themselves
recalling tho fact that only once had
Evans been ically extended to win.
Thnt was when Reginald M. howls of
Greenwich took him to tho forty-rtrst
hole In tho second round. Against this,
however, Chick had played tho moat,
consistent golf of nil, generally scoring
nway down within n fow strokes of the
hard Engineers' par.
Ilotli Shaky nt Outset.
Like Oulmot, ho was wabbly at the
outact of this big test, but after he had
got the first nine holes out of htB system
the ChlcRgoan played golf of which Vnr
don nt his best woll might havo been
proud. Ho had theso last nlno holes In
35, and In the nftcrnoon he went out In
tho remarkablo total of Si, which, how
ever, may not look remarkable to those
who do not know tho Engineers' course.
For a single round, then, It can bo
claimed that Kvans scored a 69. That
was a withering blast In nil conscience,
a blast that even tho stout henrtcd anil
eminently skilful Oulmet found himself
unable to withstand. Further than that,
EvanB played the next three holes In
cloven strokes, so that for twenty-one
holcH ho had a total of "9,
There can be no excuses. Oulmet, like
the grand sportsman that he Is, had nono
to offer. Too bnd that thero arc not
moro Oulmets. Frnncls would have
given a leg almost to have beaten Chick,
but. having goho down In defeat, he took
It like a' man. Thero was no repining
or allbl-lng or grudging his opponent the
well won sweets or. victory.
Francis had a bad cold and fever when
ho defeated Evans in me eeconu rounu
of tho national amateur championship
last year at Oakmont. Stung to the
nuiclt by whnt he considered tho need
less magnifying of Oulmet's Illness, Chick
came back with the reply that he hlm
Bclf played that day under the handicap
of neuritis. Yesterday the match was
played on Its merits. It was no porous
plaster contest, but a golf match for
blood and glory. .t . . ....
There Is no use saying that Oulmct dm
not play his best. He did not, by a long
shot But this wns no fault but his
own. Francis, generally so reliable on
tho greens, the man of whom it has beon
said needs no moro than two putts to a
green, was often guilty of weakness In
propelling tho ball toward the hole. At
least four times during the day he needed
on extra putt on a green. Moro than
that, he had a recurrence of the malady
which afflicted him last year at Brae
Burn In the national open championship
nnd left too high a percentago of his
drives In the left of tho rough. That was
especially true of the morning play, for

Workmen have occupied three texttlo
establishments belonging to a well
known woollen manufacturer, who has
no connections whatever with tho metal
Industry. Ono of the establishments
was occupied in a most dramatic man
ner. The building was surrounded by
workmen, somo of whom carried re

guarded all exit. Girl cterks and
typists fainted during the scenes of ter

The employers told not only of the

that about fifty private houses, ad

wives and families, they said, wero ob
liged to leavo as the workmen throw
furniture from windows and settled
themselves In tho houses.
It was pointed out by the employers
that there was constant transportation
of arms to tho works, which enabled
the workmen to create a state of de

Uesplto the fact thnt thin Is the thlr

Mnnv nersona have asked fienator
Kenyon why tho Democratic nomlneo
for lyesldent was not subpoenaed, ,
among them Frnnk A. Munsoy and other
prominent Republicans. Mr. Ktnyon ,
said to-day the reason wns that the Sp-
pearanee of Kdmond H. Moore of j
Youngstown ns Gov. Cox's represent- (
live made this unnecessary. Ho recalled
that as eoon as tho chargcH of Gov. Cox (
were mode the committee Invited him to ,

Governor replied that ho would send (

As soon ns the hearings In Chicago
began Mr. Moons nppenred with ''leads,"
and day after day ha has turned In
others. In response to a direct ques
tion whether ho had given all the In
formation that Onv, Cox possessed ho
replied that ho had, Mr. Moore came
from Gov, Cox with plenary authority,
and therefore, Senator Kenyon said,
there was no reason for sending a sub
puma to the Governor,
Mr, Moore did not want bis principal
Hiiliptenneil, Ills statement is that tho
charges havo been proved without him.
The two Democrats un thn committee
Heed nnft Pomercne readily acquiesced
In to-day's adjournment without the
calling nf Gov. Cox.
Thore Is also 11 suspicion, not to be
confirmed by them, that the Republi
can Senators, In addition to not want
ing to be put In thn position of embar
rassing the nominee ns ho started his
Western trip, wero convinced that If ho
did come here he would try to cover
the fact that he had nothing' new to of
fer by making stump speeches from
the witness chair for the sake of more
publicity.
Nelthor tho Ilcpubllcans nor tho Demo
crats aro much pleased with tho state
ment mado by Senator Kdgo yesterday
when ho loft the hearing to return to
Now Jersey. His nvowal of opinion thnt
the "committee Is simply becoming tho
vehicle for nil types of Insincere political
charges and rumors for partisan effect"
Is not especially relished on cither sldo
of tho political lino. None of the re
maining Henutora would express himself
to-day as to tho results of tho Chicago
hearings, but Senator Heed asked that
he be quoted as follows:
Herd Condemns Kdffr.
"I have my opinion of a man who
will give his opinion of how a case

ished. This Is tho same Senator Edge
who when wo sat In Washington up

llANooit, Mo Sept. 11. With the
voto of the newly enfranchised
women Malno Republicans, hope to
night to 'carry the State election Mon
day by 25,000. Should tho majority
exced 15,000, they rtSfloPtthe filet
would be tremendously significant of
the present trend of political thought
all over tho country and that It would
lndlcntn n declslvo victory for Har
ding und Coolldge next November.
Tho vigorous: campaigns both tho
dominant parties havo been waging
here for tho last fortnlcht hnvo been
conducted alfnost entirely upon na
tional Issues. Indorsement of the
League of Natlona nnd of the Wilson
AdmlnlBtrntlon ha been demanded by
tho Democratic speakers, nnd their
adversaries havo been qulto content to
nccept battle upon those lines. The
personal unpopularity of tho Presi
dent with hard headed Yankees, who
Mill make up tho bulk of the popula
tion hereabout, Is extremely great.
Malno Is nominally Republican, but
during tho last fifteen years tho ma
jority has exceeded 9,000 only onco, and
twlco within thnt verlod a Democrats
Governor Iuib been chosen. Four years
ago Hughes carried tho State by 4,500,
und In 1912 Wilson was tho winner by
n little less than 3,000. There Is every
Indication this yenr. however, according
to the canvass mado by tho Republican
JBtato commltteo that an old tlmo ma
jority may bo expected.
An accurate estimate of tho probable
result l exceedingly difficult, because
of the uncertainty regarding the slio of
the women vote. Col. Frederick H.
Pnrkhurst, the Republican Gubernatorial
nominee, told Tub Sun and New York
Hiciuui to-night thnt ho estimated the
total number of Malno women eligible
for registration to be 185,000. Under
the Maine lnw, towns having under 1,000
Inhabitants may continue to register
women votcrB on election day, so It Is
Impossible to-night to obtain final fig
ures. Col, Pnrkhurst believes tho total
will bo between 75,000 and 80,000, and
that nearly that, number will go to tho
polls.
Unroll nn Itepiibllrnns.
in practically ovory city and town nn
overwhelming proportion of women have
enrolled as Republicans. In Ilnngor, for
Instnnce, 3,305 women voters hnvo regis
tetcd. Of this number 2,043 havo an
nnunccd themselves as Republicans nnd
1,011 ns Democrats. The remainder
have declared themselves to bo without
party nf filiations. Several hundred
women have registered In Krc-vcr; the
Republicans number 383 and the Dcmo
crntfl 91. Tlie rest have no political
preference. In some cities tho propor
tion hns been four nnd Ave to ono and
In a few country towns ns high ns seven
to one. The Republican women, more
over, are well organized, whllo their op
ponents have done little work In this re
spect. "What a 25,000 Republican majority In
Maine on Monday would mean ns evi
dence of n countrywide drift toward the
Republican party can best bo realized
by a study of tho Mnlne election returns
of tho last ten years," said Col. Park
hurst to-night. "Using the elections
held In 1910. 1913, 1914. 1910 and 191S aa a'
basis of comparison, It appears that the
Republican vote In theso five elections
exceeded the Democratic voto by but
10,755, an average Republican majority
of but 2.000. A Republican majority
this year of JVOO) would Justify belief
In nn overwhelming natloml Republi
can victory In November.
"Baring my conclusions on reports
wlilch have reached me from all over
the State, I feel absolutely certain we
shall win by thnt margin, and If weath
er conditions arc good I confidently ex.
pect that majority wm oe increased.

Mamon, Ohio, Sept. 11. Whllo Na
tional Committee plans arc Mill in the

that hould bo covered by Senator
Harding when ho cornea to tho end of
his front porch engagements', which
will bo on September 25, ophilon here
lonns to the belief that the nominee
not only will conBcnt to but favor a
contlnuotm tour of about threo weeks,
which would take him from Ohio to
California and back ngnln.
"If I do go West," Senator Har
ding told tho newspaper men this
aftornoon, "I shall Insist upon cover
ing all States In which thero Ih a
Senate election. Nothing clso would
bo fair."
This, of course, Is a largo order.
It would mean that tho Senator would
appear In virtually every State In
the central West, In tho Northwest and
on the Pacific const. Thero are Im
portant Senate contests In most of
these States, nnl In a few of thorn
there are exceedingly close , contests,
or bo It BocniH nt this time. Naturally
tho contribution to victory that Sen
ntor Harding could offer would bo
very great, and this factor of the
projected tour Is receiving consider
ation quite npnit from the advantage
cxpectod to accrue to Harding hlm
tclt. Would Open In St. Louis.
if tentative plans aro adopted the
Senator will leave Marlon before tho
end of September, about September 28.
He will make Ills llrst speech In St.
I011I, probably. Then will ccmo Kansas
City, hainV of Senator James A. Reed,
whero thero l profound opposition to the
League of Nations compact; then
Omaha : a city In Iowa, probably Sioux
City; South and North Dakota, Mon
tana and Idaho, Tacoma and Seattle,
Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Rono, Denver, Okhih6ma City, Memphis
or Nashville nnd probably Louisville,
The tour would cover sixteen or seven
teen States nnd would embrace prob
ably twenty-five or thirty set speeches
upon major liwiies.
Tills Is tho ground plan which Is now
being considered by the Republican Nn
llonnl Committee and which Is being
inalyzed by Senator Harding hlmselt.
Recent developments obviously have In
clined the Senator to look with- favor
upon a really nmbltlous tour of speech
making, on6 that would take him Into
contact with millions of men nnd women
ind might bo calculated to create an
Impression of dignity rather than ot
barnstorming. As a matter of fact the
Senator himself confirmed to-dny an
opinion thnt he did not direct that a
front porch campaign bo made straight
through the campaign. From the first
he has expected there might be. a public
demand for his presence In many States,
and he hns held himself ready to accetje
to ahy fueh demands. He was con
vinced that It would be poor Judgment
to begin a tour or series of tours In
an early stage, of the fight, preferring to
preparo the way by some weeks of home
talks to delegations anxious to visit
him here.
Wnlted to Avoid Primaries,
Moreovei, nnd this wns one of tho
most Importnnt consideration, ordinary i
cemmonsepse counselled a Blow pace un-.
til the somewhat acrimonious primary '
(Ights In somo States had been settled I
one way or the other. It would hnve been 1
folly, worse than that which ruined
Hughes four years ago, to venture
Into States where factions were pulling
nnd hauling nnd where bad blood cer
tainly would have been engendered. Hut
theso primary battles are done with
and a source of peril has been removed.

Senator Harding's two ntUlre.so,
tho llrst delivered to the business men
from Chicago and the second to tho
visitors from Indiana nnd Michigan,
covered two main Ideas. Tho first
was tho (lovcrnmont bungling and
hostility that havo been woll nigh
ruinous to business enterprise and
the measures thnt must now ho taken
to put business, and consequently uU
Industry, "hack on the main road."
Versnlllm TrloUery Kxpnned.
Tlio second was a scathing denun
elation of tho trickery employed at
Versailles In attempting by tho trans
lation into English of tho text of
Article XXI. of tho lenguo covenant
to ' deceive tho American people Into
tho belief that nothing in tho covenant
affected tho validity ot tho Monroo
Doctrine, when as a matter of fact tho
French text of the irtlclo plainly stiff
geats that In any controversy tho
Monroo Doctrlno la to bo subordinated
to tho covenunt with all tho danger
of war thot would imply.
Trickery, deception and nctuully a
trap to destroy tho Monroo Doctrine
woro Involved In this sharp practlco
of rendering tho English meaning of
tho article Into something that meant
quite a different thing from the Inn
guago employed in the olllclal treaty
and covenant. And In denouncing tho
wholo shady business Senator Har
ding reminded his visitors of Robert
Lansing's remarkablo statement bo
foro tho Senate Foreign Affairs Com
mittee: "If tho American peoplo know what
they wero being let In for by tho Ver
sailles covenant they would never stand
for Its adoption." Tho statement was
the real cause of Lansing's eviction from
the Cabinet under circumstances mad
ns humiliating and an Insulting as pos
sible, added tho Senator.
Senator Harding's speech made a pro
found impression. It will bo reprinted
by the Republican National Committee
for uso as one of the main documents
of the campaign. Kxcept for tho Leaguo
of Nations speech and the address mado
to tho farmers In Minnesota, it Is the
most Important speech of the campaign
ho fur. On Its business side the speech
went down to the hard pan of actuull
conditions and tlien offered Bpcclflc and
concrete recommendations for euro and
corrett'nn..

Tho Chlcagoans came on two special'
trains of twelvo cars each. Thoy
marched to the front porch In com
panies, all wearing bluo serge coats and
white duck trousers, all wearing an arm
band of red, white nnd bluo with "Chi
cago" printed thoreon. Their chairman
was Col. William Nelson Pelouzc, a
manufacturer. '
When tho Senator camo out. upon the
porch tho crowd hailed him with cheers
and song. Then Chairman Pclouzo mo lo
the salutation. He said thnt In thli
country the spirit of patriotism and
self sacrifice seems to havo given wiy
to lethargy, dissiitistactton una tru
riuently to distrust. Ruslness ifin were
