HARMONY ST Looms in Democratic Gubernatorial Fight EVADES MURPHY| Democratic Conferences Continue Into Session Hours at Syracuse. HEARST OR SMITH ISSUE Both on Ticket or Both Off Seen as Only Alternatives Now. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. Staff Correspondent of The Star. N. Y. September 28.— assembly place at noon today 0 delegates to the democratic state convention. who are to nominate & state ticket and a candidate for United States senator, still without orders or 2 hint of direction from the dominating figure of the occasion, Charles F. Mur- phy of Tammany Hall The hall where they are gathered is called “the Arena.” It might prove a sinister and suggestive title should M Murphy not succeed before tomorro session, nominations are to be made, in br g the Hearst and Smith factions to: her, for that case a battle of the gladiators would e e with much slaughter. It might, indeed, prove to be case of thumbs down for the demecratic party of New York state in November, but there is still hope of averting a tight on the floor. The program is to hold a short organ- {zation session today and adjourn to allow the conferences among the lead- ers to continue this afternoon and to- night, in the hope of making a slate for presentation tomorrow which will avoid the threatened split in the party. Responsible leaders were inclined to the view that a compromise is probabie on the ground that it is vitally necessary to party success and must be obtain The ideal compromise, in Mr. Murphy's estimate, would be for candidate Smith to agree to run on the ticket wita Mr. Hearst, one to have the governorship, the other the senatorship. Al the moment Mr. €mith balks at this propo- sition. when Elimination of Both? ‘The second best solution would be the elimination of both Hearst and Smith and the selection of candidates for governor and senator who would be acceptable to both these principals. Along these lines will run the en- deavors of Mr. Murphy, now called conciliator instead of poss, during the day and evening up to this time. Mr. Murphy has not shown the mail- ed hand, though evervbody knows it 18 there in case of need. All day yesterday and until late in the night. the assembled democrats devoted their efforts to preventing the contest over the gubernatorial and senatorship nominations from drift- ing into an open fight on the floor of the convention. with its threatened political carnage and blighting of democratic_hopes for November. It was the main endeavor of Mr. Murphy to prevent a debaele, such as would be almost inevitable if the nominations_had to be fought out in the open. He was Backed by able lieutenants, such as N: 3‘:;1;\1 Commit- tesman Norman B Mack. who ‘is keenly alive to the consequencep of the airing of the Hearst- ances in debate. His one object was to bring the party elements behind these candi- dates, almost as unmixable as oil and into an agreement whic would give ecach man a place on the ticket. Through the hours the jock- eying continped, a game of alternat- * ing bluff and threats of cajolery and intimidation, with now and then of- | fers brought to him from one side or the other, usually on the principle of “heads 1 win; tails you lose. “Boss Murphy” Tarsget. Boss Murphy, with his tight lttle ‘bunch of Tammany braves holding the power to run the nomination to ‘whom he might choose, was the tar- @et of every shaft that was let fly. The Smith adherents threatened that if he gave the nomination to Mr. Hearst they would bolt the ticket Hearst backers importuned Mr. Mur- Phy in behalf of their candidate, pointing out what a valuable adjunct the. Hearst publications and Influ :ol‘xnt hedm the whole dcmocrea“t?g cket, and emphasized th ibil- it |§ Sl e possibil: e Hearst Heutenants, fer he was not on the ground himself, declared that in his nomination was the only chance of the democrats to defeat the fro!pecllve candidate of the repub- icans, Gov. Miller. Mr. Hearst was described as standing for ‘progress against reaction, a_democrat against & _tory, Hearst against Miller.” Boss Murphy found himself in dilemma. Fully cognizant of the power he holds of naming the nomi- mee of the convention, he also real- izes the responsibility which attaches and the charge that rests upon him of not permitting the framing of a ticket which will threaten to split the party in November. Throughout Smith remalined adamant ton that he would not co- operate with Mr. Hearst on & compro- mise ticket which either ineluded Mr. Hearst or was dictated by him.

FUNDS NOW AVALABLE FOR GIBBONS INSTITUTE Colored Catholics Contribute Need- ed Funds to Stgrt on Institution Planned in Maryland. Immediate steps fof the actual es- tablishment of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute have now been made pos- sible by the funds contributed ta the board of trustees of the institution by the colored Catholics. of Washing- ton and vicinity, according to an- nouncement just made by that body. Splendid results were realized from the demonstration and fleld day ex-. ercises, held at Suburban Park last week, when the sixtieth anniversary of the first announcement issued by President Lincoln of his plan of ng the slaves, was fittingly ob- rved. All tha standard amusement features of. the pleasure park were open and operating. Approximately 8,000 persons were in attendance. At the exerclses in commemoration of the anniversary, held in_the late afternoon, Senator David 1. Walsh of usetts delivered the principal and said, in part: Walsh Lauds Advance. “It is a happy. coincidence that this {day, which marks the sixtleth anni- iversary of an announcement of the {approaching emancipation _of your |race, should also see the first steps taken in the movement for the edu- cational betterment of your fellow |citizens. That vou were worthy of the freedom granted you that day by the President of the United States has been amply proven by vour con duct as free people and by the prog- ress which you have made. I can !say, without fear of contradiction, that during the sixty years of your freedom you have progressed in a {manner and to a degrec unequaled iby any other race on earth.” Admiral Bensom Preseat. Referring to the Institution which is about to be erected in St Marys county, Md., Senator Walsh added: his project received its first im- petus from that kindly apd saintly old man, beloved by all, Catholic and non-Catholie, white and colored, the, late James Cardinal Gibbons, Arch- Ibishop of Baltimoge., Through long Iyears of experience and association he knew the loyalty, love aud devo- ition of the mtegro race. He, theréfore, gave the first money to purchase the site for such an institution as we are now about to establish.” The guests included Admiral Wil- liam S. Benson, first vice president of {the board of trustees, and A. C. Mon- {ahan, secretary; Willlam A. Aumen, 1state deputy of the Knights of Co- {lumbus of Maryland, and a member of the executive committee. William A. Prater presided. 13 STRKEBREAKERS HELD BY . C.

NEWBERRYISM IN FORE Bepublican Majority-of 350,000 to Suffer Because of Issue. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. DETROIT, Mich.. September 2§.— The democrats have the. best chance. of electing a United States senator in Michigan that they had since the civil wgr: Translated into political ap- tualitfes, however, this is only an- other way of saying that the repub- lican majerity of 350,000 will be: ex~ tensively reduced and Senator Town- send, republican, will pull through by a relatively small margin, The campaign has hardly begunm, but it will be admitted that former Gov. Ferris, who is running for the United States Senate on the demo- cratic ticket, is a fascinating speak- er and vote-getter. Twice he carried this state, and to do so any democrat must win the republican voters to his standard by tens of thousanda His strength was not sufficient, how- ever, two years ago to offset the Harding tide and he was defeated by 860,000, which was only 80,000 Detter than the democratic totals for Presi- dent. ‘Those who believe former Gov. Fer- ris has a chance to win base their hunch on the fact that he has twice carried a republican state of such size as this, and they argue that the 1920 landslide would have buried any- body. Mr. Ferris makes friends on the stump and draws immense crowds, He twits his opponent constantly and promises an interesting campaign for Michigan. Newberry lnsue Live. As for issues, the chief complaint against Senator Townsend is that he refused to vote to unseat his col- league, Truman H. Newberey. There is a good deal of agitation over New- berryism. It didn't all vanish after the primaries, either. The 125,000 votes which Herbert Baker got in the re- publican primaries for United States senator 18 variously described as “sin- ister” and “significant.” It’s the same type of vote that helped Roosevelt sweep the state against Taft and the same radical fringe which carriad the presidential primaries for Hiram Johnson. The democratic calculators | tion. simply add the 125,000 to Mr. Ferrris’ prospective total and remark that Mr. Townsend really polled only one- ninth of the state vote on primary day. 3 Just why Mr. Ferris, who was by no means a radical when he was gov- ernon, should acquire all the Baker vote is not clear, though it is ap- parent he will win large blocks of progressive and liberal votes. The addition of the 125,000 wouldn't, of course, be enough to insure the elec- tion of Mr. Ferria. This much is certain—Mr. Ferris will poll the normal @emocratic vote, -and . wil draw to his banner on reonal (s- sues alone a large part of the repub- lican strength. Unless the campaign should delineate the issues and de- velop unexpected fireworks, the ‘:3. cast of a close vote, with a safe majority for Townsend, is what one is given by most persons of disin- terested judgment in the political world hereabouta Two or three days of cold weather just béfore election might cause many republicans to stay at home and express that way thelir protest against the handling of the rail and coal strikes. The supply: of hard coal is as yet too unoertain-to decide the fate of the candidatea but the party in power will suffer some losses here as elsewhere on that grievanca o Feeling Against Harding. _ Again in Michigan, as in Ohlo, the public has the impression that Mr. Harding wasn't firm enough in the strike crisia. No one comes forward with a concrete suggestion as to what he might have done—opinion hasn't crystallized on altérnatives—but the labor people criticized the. President for what he did while the business men criticize him_ for what he didn’t do, and between the two elements the administration must expect some losses even In this realm of repub- Heanism.

Swann, forty-eight, of 528 6th street south- east, today shot hhmself through the heart, dying instantly. The shooting occurred shortly be- fore 11 o'clock this morning. The couple are sald to have quarreled. Mr. Swann had been out of work for some time. Some days ago his wife appealed to Chief Justice McCoy of the District Supreme Court for an order compelling her husband to ac- cept employment. The court granted the petition and ordered Swann to find a positjon within two weeks. Wite Shot Five Times. Early today, it is sald, Swann called his wife to account for her ac- After arguing for some time, it is said, the husband seized a re- volver from a nearby drawer. Whether |he deliberately shot his wife or wheth- | er he attempted to commit suicide and she interfered has not been deter- mined by the police. In the course of a struggle that followed, however, Mrs. Swann was shot five times. Realizing the seriousness of his deed, Swann turned the weapon to- ward his own breast and sent a sixth bullet into his heart. Shot Fires Clothing. So tar as could be learned no one heard the shots. The first that was known'of the tragedy was when Mrs. |Lillian Clemens of 533 6th street saw Mrs. Swamm stumble out of her front door and fall prostrate on the steps. After dragging her back into the par- lor, Mrs. Clemens telephoned to the fifth police precinct station. Police- imen J. G. Russell, J. W. Kite, W. T. | Hayden and N. 8. Hodkin answered the call. They found Mr. Swann ly- ing in his_bedroom dead and in iflames. In his determination to kill himself the husband had held the pistol 80 close to his shirt that the bullet set his clothing afire. After determining that Mr. Swann was dead, the authorities rushed Mrs. Swann to Casualty Hospital, where. it 1s said _she probably will die. Roy K. Swann, a son, declared it to be his bellef that his father had shot his mother as a result of a family quarrel that had been brewing since when the family moved to ‘Washington from Charles county, Md.

Pontifical \igh mass was celebrated 88 a preliminary to the convention, which opened at 11:30 o'clock in the Knights of Columbus Hall.

He said they were the home, tha school and the charch. Pointing out that evil which threateed the home threatened one of the bases on which the nation rests, he declared that home ‘wreck] divorce and birth control were among the worst evils in the home to- ay.

Bishops Here. 32 Intensified activities of the Natfon- al Catholic Welfare Counoll organiza- tion department was authorized by the hierarchy of the Roman Catholio Church of America meeting todad, in Caldwell Hall, Catholic University, under the chalrmanship of Cardinaf O'Connell of Boston. An official Atatement given out this afternoon follewing the meeting de- clared that directions had been glven by the helrarchy to the respective chairmen of the welfare counc branches fo “continue and Intensify the activitles which have resulte the greatest good during the past yeas Archbishop Curley and Archbishop Hanna were named 1o :confer with representatives of the press regard- Ing this statement, and it was from them that the summary of the hier- archy's meeting was obtained. To Ald Suffering Peoples, The statement declared that the hierarchy regards the organization of the welfare council as its own repre- sentative and as the exponent of its policies in carrving out plans for the welfare of Catholic pcople of Amer- ica along educational, soctal service and other lines. Word was recefved by the hier- archy from Rome that the Austrain and German peoples were suffering under wretched conditions and wers in the greatest misers. The bishops and archbishops decided to give the fullest possible support to accredited movements for the aid of these peo- ples. The church 16 doing its dutgy loyally, declared Archbishop Curley, in these countries and the church in this country may be ted to give 4 support to the people of formerly hostile nations. Each department of the Natlonal Catholic Welfare Council, which is represented through its chairman, who 1s a member of the hierarchy, flled a report as to its activities dur- ing the year. Especially along social service and educational lines, it was declared, these reports have shown great accomplish- ¢ ments during the past year, it was stated, and the hierarchy expressed the keenest appreciation of the accomplish- ments, Although it had been well known that the National Catholic Welfare Council would continue to function as an inter- mediary between ecclesiastics and the laity in the Catholic Church, some doubt previously had been expressed in view of reports from Rome as to whether the scope of the organization would in- crease or diminish. All_doubt was cast aside today by the action of the hierarchy, which gave its fullest indorsement to the work of the council. of which ft is the directing influence, and author- 1zed offictally the council to “continue and intensify activities.” Hishop . |Schremds, who headed a group ‘that went to Rome to_ inquire as to how the standing of the couneil was re- garded there, is at the meeéting. Although no official statement is forthcoming regarding his methods, it is generally understood that he reported on his visit to Pope Pius XI and upon the wishes of the holy father in this matter. Previous to his visit reports had been circulated that the National Catholic War Council would be dis- banded and would cease to funotiom because of the Pope's belief that there. would be no necessity for it during' peace times. The peace ac- tivities of the National Catholic Wel- fare Council, which is the successor of the War Council in organization detail, it was shown, have been of such a 1yDo that their continuance isy absolutely necessary, and such iy now understood to be the view of the Vatican. —_—— e ments were directing an unwholesorge influence. In the schools, he said, God is being forgotten. Three generations ago and prior to that time, he declared, the educational system of this country a fundamentally Christianized syste: Since that time, as a result of the fal ing away {rom Christianized education he smid; one finds statistics to the effe that more than 50 per cent of the people profess no religion at all The church, he maintained, has al- ways been the bulwark of eciviliza- tion. He drew a word picture of the church in the early times, taking barbaric tribes under its guidance, teaching them and training them in industry, the arts and sciences. Then he cited the present civilization as a result of the early endeavors of the church. For the home, the church and the school he asked suppart and stanci loyalty from the Council of Catholic Men. He asked them to carry on a fight agalnst enemies of these three fundamental agents of the nation's civilization. Admiral Willlam S. Benson, U. 8.
