SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.— Rickard was plainly nettled at the unexpected turn of events and the "eleventh hour" pronouncement of the governor, as he termed it. was a most unpayable morsel.

It is believed by prominent men of this ' city aad Chihxahsa that President1 Diaz would not oppose the contest, and since Governor Creel of Chlhua- i hua is fond of sports, it is believed j he would favor the arrangement. New Yorkers Worried. NEW YORK, June 16.—Broadway was startled by the news from San Francisco, but the assumption that j the fight probably would be held else- j where if the California ban is not raised eased the first fears of the sporting element. So far as could be learned, none of the special trains from New York to San Francisco has been canceled and the assumption Is that the routes merely will be trans ferred from California to Nevada or Utah. Tom Sharkey, who had arranged to conduct an expedition to California, voiced the general view of fight fol lowers here: "Governor Gilletts action will not prevent the fight being held." said Sharkey. "If the men can t meet there the fight will be shifted to Car son City or some other point. “Wkerever the battle takes place I will run a special train to the scene. If necessary we will go to the north pole.” K1MBKRLY DISTRICT TO H %VE ANOTHER Mil l . In a few months the echoes re verberating around the hills of Kim berly will carry the news from Cor al!
