Deneen Named for Governor by Republicans and Former Vice Pres- , ident Adlai E. Stevensen by the DPemecrats—Last Named Party Se lects L. B. Stringer as Its Candidate for the Senate. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Late primary re- turns confirm the Republican nomina- tion-of C. S. Deneen for governor and give the Republican endorsement for United Btates senator to Albert J. #opking: From figures at hand, ‘which are, however, incomplete, the majority vote of Deneen over Yates is probably not far from 12,000 to 16,000. The vote for United States senator shows that Hopkins has about 18,000 plurality over Foss, but it is not cer- tafa that this estimate will hold. The returns from some counties may re- duce Hopkins’ lead materially. It is certaln that Foss will carry the fight into the state legislature and a warm contest will ensue when that body meets next winter. Foss and his managers claim that he has carried a majority of the senatorial districts and .that .the chief strength of the Hop- kins vote, particularly in the city of Ohicago, has been in the Democratic ‘wards... It is claimed that the vote in the senatorial districts should be bind- ing on the members of the legislature and therefore Foss and his friends argue that even if defeated on the pop- wlar. vote he. will have a majority of the legislature under instructions for him. The Hopkins managers deride thig-claim and assert that the vote of the state at large is the only thing that carries with it the party endorse- ment. B The. returns from the country pre- cincts continue to come in slowly. Definite figures are most difficult to obtain on many of the votes, partic- ularly those on the Democratic ticket. Because of the general interest felt in the bitter struggles for the Repub- Hean - gubernatorial nomination and for: the . Republican endorsement for senator the election judges generally have counted the votes of that party first. . Enough figures are obtainable, however, to show that L. B. Stringer of Lincoln has received an overwhelm- fsg plurality for the Democratic en- dorsement for senator and that for- mer Vice President A. E. Stevenson of Bloomington has been nominated for governor. NEW YORK GOVERNORSHIP Republican Nominee to Be Selected by Rank and File. New York, Aug. 11.—That the rank and ‘file of the Republican party will dictate whether Charles E. Hughes will be renominated for governor of the ‘state of New York was the sub- stance of a statement made by State Chatrman Timothy L. Woodruff. Chair- man Woodruff said: “We have been trying to find out the real sentiment of the rank and file of the Republican party of New York in a choice for governor and we are still seeking what the senti- ment may reveal. The organization bas every_confidence in the rank and file -of the Republican party of this state to:act wisely in the matter and we see no reason to think that the ®body of Republicans should not like- ‘wise have confidence in the organiza- tion. ;We shall be guided by what the party wants in this matter.” Chairman Woodruff. announced thut the temporary chairman of the state eonvention will be either Elthu Root or Joseph H. Choate, both of whom @arve in that .capacityv.

GIRL SHOWS PLUCK. Will Stand in Line Five Weeks to File on Government Land. Duluth, Aug. 11.—With a wait of nearly five weeks ahead of her Miss Anna Rowe, a nineteen-year-old Du- luth girl, took her place before the door of the United States land office and will camp there night and day until the land is opened for settle- ment. Miss Rowe is No. 6 in the line, there being five men ahead of her. She says she is going to become a farmer and talks confidently of making a living for herself from chick- ens and garden produce. She is well provided with reading matter and ‘while she dreads the five weeks’ im- prisonment in the dark stalls of the federal building she says the land will be worth it. AFFEGTED BY GHURGH AND STATE QUARREL Wedding of Daughter -of Pres- ident of France, Paris, Aug. 11.—As a scquence to the separation of church and state in France and incidentally because of the mourning of the bridegroom the marriage of Madeleine Anne Marc Fallieres, daughter of the president of the French republic, to John Jean Joseph Edward Lanes, the president’s secretary, was not attended with the special brilliancy which one might ex- pect would embellish the nuptials of the daughter of the president of France. The wedding was, indeed, striking for its simplicity. The marriage party drove to the city hall of the Elysee palace arrondissement, where, in an artistic bower of plants, daisies and white hydrangeas apd in the pres- ence of Premier Clemenceau and other members of the cabinet and govern- ment officials, they were, legally unit- ed by Mayor Roger Allou, who graced the occasion by a dainty discourse of felicitations. The marriage was blessed by a nup- tial mass at the Church of the Made- line, where a great crowd had assem- bled to catch a glimpse of the bride, who, in a costume of white satin, with white tulle veiling, mude an impres- sive plcture as she mounted the high steps on the arm of her father and. walked up the main aisle to the altar. Foreign Minister Pichon and Min- ister of Marine Thomson were pres- ent at the ceremony, but there was no large official delegation in attendance, owing to the fact that all French offi- clals who were concerned in the adop- tlon of the law providing for the sep- aration of church and state have been ex-communicated. There was a large attendance of the members of the dip- lomatic corps, -however, who were present with their families “and friends. £ " TO STUDY FARM LIFE.

ON THE SUBJECT - OF VENEZUELA'* Dutch Foreign foice‘Conférs With American Minister. | ATTITUDE A WAITING ONE United States Has No Preconceived Course in Dealing With President Castro and It Is Not Believed That Any Co-Operative ~Punitive ‘Meas- | ures With a Foreign Country Will Be Entertained. The Hague, Aug. 11.—The foreign aminister of The Netherlands had a long interview with Arthur M. Beau- |pre, the American minister here, the subject being the dispute between Venezuela and Thé Netherlands which resulted in the ‘expulsion by Presi- dent Castro of M. de Reus, the Dutch minister at Caracas. The Dutch for- eign office is anxious to ascertain the views of the American government and the -attitude that it is likely to adopt in the varying contingencies that are liable to arise. ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—Naturally the ‘American government is interested in knowing what the Dutch intend to do in Venezuela and it is not surprising, 'therefore, that the Holland govern- ment 18 sounding American Minister ARTHUR M. BEAUPRE. Beaupre at The Hague as to what the 'United States has in mind or to ad- mit the administration has any pre- lconcelved theories regarding its fu- ture course in dealing with Castro. No definite action is looked for until the former Netherlands minister to Caracas,-De Reus, arrives in Holland and has had an opportunity to take up his difficulties and those of Holland with the ministry. To the TUnited States the Venezuelan attitude is one ‘of waiting and expectancy. Secre- tary Root left the entire matter with congress and that body failed to act. While the United States, under cer- tain conditions, may be open to con- 'sultation regarding any prospective course in Venezuela it is not believed that any co-operative punitive meas- jures with a foreign country will be entertained, but on the contrary eo- operation for a peaceful settlement of differences-would be gladly availed of.
