JUDSON WON'T::
BE CANDIDATE
(Continued from Page One.)
ne nadn t made any canvass to see
whom they favored, but " that his; sole
work toward feeling out . the delegates
was to see what there was behind the
Studley boom, v
In regard to the Progressive party,
Senator Judson said:
"I believe greatly in many of the
ideals of the third party and am heart
ily in sympathy with many of its prin
ciples, but I consider that there is tod.
mucn Kooseveltism in the movement.
I believe that the evils which--- esrist
today can be remedied by working
within the old parties rather ' than
drawing apart from the old parties.
There is, however a growing demand
on the part of the people of the court
try for more progressive legislation
and the Republican party should meet
that demand at once." - . . .
Col. Matthew H. Rogers, Secretary
of State, will get the- support of "the
local delegation. There Is much 'cur
local delegation
iosity as to how Rogers stands on the
Governorship nomination. There -are
stories about to the effect that he is
supporting Robinson because Robin
son's nomination would mean the elim-
mat ion of , Judge Carlson of Middle-
town, who -is a candidate for the sec-
rtaryship, by reason of Carlson's com
ing from the same town as Judge Rob-1
inson. Two nominations couldn't
very well go to Middletown, and if
Judge Robinson was nominated to
head the ticket there would be little
chance of Judge Carlson getting the
nomination for Secretary of State.
Arthur Fifoot. chief clerk in the Secretary-
of State office, has- made "a
complete canvass of the State to see
how- the delegates stand.
Friends of Secretary Rogers are
confident ' that he will get the nom
ination -whether there is opposition or
not.
The convention will lay much stress
on the platform that will be adopted
this year and it is believed that there
will be many progressive planks in
it to off-eet the vote-pulling power of
the opposing progressive platform. The
Republicans recognize in the third
party movement a stern demand for
a more progressive stand than has
characterized the party platform of
the past and the convention will de
vote a good deal f serious atten
tion to that' end-
Senator Judson will attend the con
vention Tuesday and will . be prepared
to wage a etiff fight against the ma
chine in order to secure the nomina
tion of Judge Robinson. The fight
will be close and almost anything is
apt to happen at the convention,
POLITICAL NOTES
Looming up strongly on the political
horizon as the leading candidates for,
the Republican Gubernatorial nomina
tion are Judge Silas A. Robinson of
Middletown and Judge .John P. -Stud-ley
of the New Haven Probate- courts
The candidacy of Judge Robinson is
strongly opposed by the Hartford
Courant, which has been the leader in
a number of bitter attacks upon him.
The adherents of Judge Studley ad
vance the argument that he is a wise
choice as an opponent of Governor
Baldwin. Governor Baldwin rolled up
a splendid majority in New Haven,
and at the same time Judge Studley
on the Republican ticket had a big
Republican majority. Boomers of
Judge Studley point to this an an in
dication that as an. opponent of the
Democratic Governor-he would ma-1
terialy -reduce the big. majority given
tc New Haven's favorite son.
Appointment of Charles E. Julin of
New Haven as the publicity agent of
the Republican State Committee is re
garded as an indication of-i a healing
of the bredch between Chairman J.
Henry Roraback and Colonel Isaac M.
TJllman. Julin is secretary of the
New Haven Chamber of Commerce,
I and is very close to Ullman. The ap
19 tf pointment of Julin by Roraback and
Julin's acceptance is lasen as an in
dication of the seedy burial of the
political hatchet between these two
prominent Republicans.
Governor Wilson has issued a vig-
firous statement relative to the can
; didacy of James Smith, Jr., for United
' States Senator from New Jersey.
Smith seeks support of the electors at
the primaries, and if he is the popu
lar choice, the Democratic legislature
will elect him. Governor Wilson
charges that Smith utterly defeated
! the program of his party in Congress,
; when he was a Senator under Presi
i dent Cleveland. He charges that
1 Smith has worked steadily but covert
ly against "everything that has sub
; stituted hope and pride for discour
: agement and shame in the politics of
i New Jersey during the 20 months
which I have been permitted to serve
the people of the State."

MAJOR GEN. WOOD
CONSULTS TAFT ON
WAR SITUATION
- Washington, Sept. 9 A voluminous
interchange ' of telegrams between
President Taft at Beverly and offi
eials of the state and war. departments
took place, today, relative to the Mex
ican situation. The President wants
to have the fullest information as to
the situation along the border and in
Southern, Mexico and he is receiving
a copy of practically every message
that Cornea here. '
'If the President decides to Call a
special session of Congress It is ex
pected that he will make his known
his intention, today.
Reports of a new -revolt . in the
southern part of Mexico have been
received here but the messages were
confidential and their contents were
not jnade public.
. The war department buzzed with ac
tivity, today. Maps and war data
were eagerly scanned by army offic
ers.
: Major General Wood, chief of staff
was at ' his office early after having
spent most of the night in telephone
conversation "with members of hie
staff. For a long time the war de
partment has been prepared to send
troops into Mexico Dut -additional pre
cautions are being taken to insure
quick action in case the President or
ders an expeditionary force to cross
the border.
It . is not believed here, . however,
that the President would permit any
invasion of Mexico without the con
sent of Congress. .

BODINE'S MEN RACING
WITH OILING MACHINE
Superintendent Bodine has 38 men at
work cleaning the streets which are
to be oiled and expected, to finish the
job by the last of this week. He said
today that it nas Deen round more
practical to hand-sweep the streets
rather than to use a flusher as the
water and dust made a nasty paste
whn mixed with oil and thus ham
pered the work.
'We are giving the 38 miles that
are to be cleaned a very tnorough
sweeping," he said. and have managed
to get 10 miles ahead of -the oiling
machines. My men are at work on
parallel streets and have started in
on the South End and will -then take
up the West End streets.-
'We have completed the cleaning of
alt streets on the east side of the
river and the oiling machines are now
t work over there. They will prob
ably finish within a day or so. on that
ide, and then begin on this side of
the river." -
USED IN
FOUND GUILTY
structions were in line with the policy
of Mayor Gaynor's administration. In
case Hayes is round guilty the evi
dence he is introducing will be used
in an appeal to the civil courts. In
spectors, Titus. Lahey and Daly will
be witnesses for the prosecution.

PROBE INTO
MINE TROUBLES
IN WgPiNIA
Charleston. W. Va., Sc-pt". 'SMr'nter-
est in the Kanawha coal strike was
stirred, today, by the preparations for
the investigation by Governor Glass
cock's commission. Hearings will be
gin Wednesday. The commission is
expected to take evidence on all ques
tions bearing on the situation on
Paint and Cabin creeks where blood
shed and much suffering have been
inflicted since the strike began. The
wage conditions, the sanitary and
working conditions are also to be in
quired into. The strike began origin-
ailv in a demana tor more wages, tne
miners declaring they could not live
on the present rate of pay. Finally,
the strike resolved itself Into a pro
test against the government by guards
in tha mines. The miners charged
that the guards were employed to
break tr e strike by force of rifles and
machine guns. They declared the
guards evicted them from the com
pany-owned houses without process or
law.
The operators charge that the strike
was led by a dangerous element and
that the guards were necessary to pre
vent the destruction of mine property.
It- is the merit of this controversy that
the commission will seek to decide.
Governor Glasscock has declared
(hat be will accent the recommenda
tions of the -investigators and abide
by their findings in .disposing of the
guard system.

OBITUARY
The death of Mrs. Rebecca E. Ruth
erTord, the wife of Captain George
