Police Fail To Restrain Rioters Sturdy Types of Men Insure Fair Jury for Hay wood OHIO POLITICAL FACTIONS LINE UP FOR BATTLE Either Foraker or Taft Must Retire From Public Life FIGHT TO A FINISH District Leaders Will Have to Choose Between \ the Rivals FORCING THE ISSUE Administration Faction Is Eager t< Hasten De cisive Combat COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 14.— For the present, at least, the prob ability of a spectacular pitched battle between the Taft and Foraker-Dick factions in this state has passed. The fight is still in progress, however, and the indications now are that it will terminate only with the retirement from public life of either Senator Foraker or Secretary Taft. Chairman "Walter F. Bro«— of the state central committee called off today the meeting of that body which; was to have been held here tomorrow, by the dispatch* of a. tele sram to each member.; of- the body. The meeting was to have been an ad junct, to the general conference of party leaders scheduled for tomorrow, which was so suddenly called off last night by Senator Dick. The . Foraker faction has all along- claimed that the control of the party machinery was in its hands, and there was feeling among many of the followers of Sec retary Taft throughout the state that the time had come to prove the accu racy of the assertion. Telephone calls and telegraph messages rained in all morning upon Chairman Brown and Arthur I. Vorys, the Taft campaign manager, urging that the meeting of the state central committee be held, despite the fact that the larger con ference was not to meet. BROW!* SUPPORTS TAFT Chairman Brown, whose statement last night that in his opinion the conference, if held, would have unanimously in dorsed Secretary Taft for the presi dency, placed him squarely In the sec retary's following, proceeded early to day to hold conferences with prominent republicans. His first visit was to the office of Governor Harris, with whom he remained for an hour. From there he visited tLe office of Vorys, and they conferred for two hours. It was at this latest meeting' that the decision was finally reached to call off the meet ing: of the state central committee. Chairman Brown said that the call for the conference had been Issued only in pursuance of the call for the general conference; that having' been called off by Senator Dick, its original advocate, the chairman did not believe that he should insist upon a meeting of the committee for any purpose other than that originally designed. If a special meeting were desired later, he said, it could be called at any time. WAR SECRETARY'S PLANS - In the meantime the Taft forces are about to force the Issue. They are about to "smoke out" the leading- offi cials of the state and invite them to indicate where they stand — for Taft or for Foraker. After this part of the program has been. carried out & meet ing of the state central committee may be called and Its members given an op portunity to declare themselves. The republican organization of. this county adopted Taft resolutions today. The county committee was called to gether for the purpose of formulating instructions to the Columbus \u25a0 delegates to Senator Dick's conference. When the conference was called off it was decided to indorse Taft anyhow. CHATEAU FOR THE CORE YS NEW .YORK.

The police lost all control of -I the situation and cars were bombarded for blocks. In one in stance ' the strikers boarded a car and assaulted the crew. Every car that was turned in at the Twentieth-ninth street barn at;- 7 o'clock had been stoned, bumped by. drays and heavy wagons, its passengers assaulted and its crew bruised -by stones and beaten by 7 the "We have shown you that we are nervy men.™ one of ,the strike break ers said to Thornwell Mullally. who was a witness of the riot, "and we will take cars through any mob In San Francisco if you will give us back our guns, but it is murder to send us out on the streets when/the police either. can't or won't handle the mobs." A woman with a baby In her arms was a passenger on one of the cars on Mission . street yesterday afternoon. When the mob charged the car and the rocks crashed through the windows she held her babe to her breast In an agony of-fearl.'An eyewitness states that a "paving block that came through the window where she sat passed within a few inches of the " baby'j head. The conductor came to her aid and com forted her until the car had cot cU« of the mob. PASSENGERS ARE STOKED Passengers were followed as they left the cars and stoned for" blocks until they had distanced their pursuers.* One man was overtaken andjcruelly beaten until he was dragged away, from the mbb and taken inside the Twenty-ninth street barn. \u25a0 Strikers ' led the rioting and the police apparently* were* unable to cope with the: situation. Mullally, who was In the thickest of the trouble between 5 and 6 o'clock." said last night: . "This has been the worst rioting: slnca the strike was begun. Every c^.r that turned In at the Twenty-ninth and Mis sion street barn had been stoned, men had .been hit, the windows broken and the -cars bumped by trucks. I saw the marks of the stones myself.
