With 26 of the 147 State convention seats still undecided, Weller, on the face of complete returns from three counties and mounting majorities in nine others, appeared to have taken 67, agalnst 54 for Hill. The State-wide popular vote figures were Weller, 329, and Hill, 80,139, with 191 of the State’s 1,184 precincts reported. Gov. Albert C.

He buried Milnes Maloy, former politi- hman, under a popular vote 739, with only 139 precincts missing. ~Maloy's total was 19,057. On the face of mid-forenoon returns, hie had taken every convention with a towering majority, ex- st four for which no returns had been tabulated. At 1 p.m. Addison E. Mullikin, Sen- stor Weller’s organization candidate for governor in the contest which involves State leadership, had forged ahead to pass his chief in the num- ber- of conventlon votes apparently won. He had 71 to his credit on the spotty returns jin several against 44 for Marion A. Humphreys, Col. Hill's candidate. Thirty-two of the convention votes were still undecided. With 205 pre- cincts missing, Mullikin had a popu- lar Statewide vote of 28,770 and Tumphreys of 23,220. John McGinity, Col. Hill's candidate for his successor in the , third congressional _district, won out over Willlam Hettleman, and in the sixth district, Representative Frederick N.

DONOVAN BOOMED | [ uamviawo mace aose | INNEW YORK RAGE Assistant to Attorney Gen- eral Wins Backing for Gu- bernatorial Honors. By a Stalt Correspondent of The Star. WHITE PINE CAMP, N. Y., Sep- tember 15.—William J. Donovan of Buffalo, assistant to the United States Attorney Geperal, is looming as an acceptable compromise candidate be- tween the wets and drys in New York State, according to information reach- ing here today. With the primaries at which dele- gates to the convention to be held in New York September 27 were selected | out of the way, the G. O. P. leaders again are on a quest for a guberna- torial nominee upon whom extreme wets and drys can unite. This is be- coming increasingly important, be- cause the independent drys, who al- ready have a candidate for Senator in the field, threaten to pick a candi- date for governor to run with Frank- 1lin W. Cristman, senatorial candidate, at a conference to be held Septem- ber 18. While Republican National Com- mitteeman Charles D. Hilles still is considered to be in the field by some, the two men most in the minds of the leaders are Nathaniel A. Elsberg of New York, who is not in the best of health and repeatedly has stated that he would not accept, and Col. Dono- Long ago some State leaders in- formed Senator Wadsworth that Dol ovan would be the “white man’s hope” against Smith. Much Wavering Since. Since then there has been much wavering back and forth; one candi- date after another has been trotted out, only to be trotted in again. Sev- eral have eliminated themselves, and Col. Donovan himself has said that ae Is not a candidate. Officials in the Department of Justice, hearing re- ports that he might be drafted for the job of running against Smith, have urged him to remain at the head of the anti-trust division of the depart- ment, where he is doing what his su- periors call most valuable work. He has everything that the Repub- licans need in this flght, Westchester leaders, whose influence seems to be held for Donovan, say. He is not a prohibitionist, but has the stanch support of the drys. He is a Catholic, and his nomination would remove all question of religious intolerance from the campaign, because his runnini mate, Gov. Smith, is a member of th same faith. Speaks for Wadsworth. Furthermore, it is being argued, Col. Donovan has grown tremendous- 1y since he was a candidate for lieu- tenant governor and is of substantial gubernatorial timber. He can match, the upstate leaders who want him picked as the compromise candidate point out, the personality of Gov. Smith. He has been studying New York State public questions for some time In preparation to take the stump for Senator Wadsworth. For that purpose he already has made several speeches, one of the most notable being at Utica, where many of the leaders quite lost sight of the fact that he was booming the senior United States Senator for re-election and offered him their support. Senator Wadsworth, who will have a great deal to say in the final selec- tion of a candidate, as the primary returns show, is a great admirer of the ability and integrity of Col. Dono- van. He has felt that the convention should pick the man and still adheres to that view while many upstate lead- ers belleve the fleld must be canvassed before the convention convenes. He also has stated that the man must come from the vicinity of New York, but since his call upon the President, when that utterance was made, he has indicated that it might be neces- sary to go upstate for him. All of this points to Donovan. SMITH CALLED CERTAINTY. Speeches Being Prepared for Nomina- tion of Governor. NE WYORK, September 15 (#).— The New York Times says Gov. Alfred E. Smith has definitely decided to respond to the call of the Demo- cratic party and become, for the fifth time, its candidate for governor. All doubt on that question was removed, the paper says, when word came from Albany that speeches placing him in nomination were being prepared. The paper lists as other candidates on the Democratic ticket: Edwin Corning, chairman of the Democratic State committee, as candidate for lieutenant governor, and Justice Robert F. Wagner of the appellate division for United States Senator. HELD AS EMBEZZLER. Washington Salesman Arrested by Baltimore Police. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 15.— David L.

OTTAWA, September 15.—The im- pression in political circles today was that the Conservative government would reulgn as the result of- yester- day’s general election and that the .Liberals would assume the reins. The Liberals came out of the fight, which was a bitterly contested one from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with the largest group in the House, 28 more than the Conservatives. The Liberal party was seven seats short of a clear-working majority this morn- ing, however. Premier Arthur Mei. ghen and five of his cabinet lost their seats. MacKenzie King, Liberal leader and formerly premier, was suc- cessful, The balance of power, unless Mr. King should win seven doubtful seats, was in the hands of the Progressives and Independents. Showing on Incomplete Returns. On incomplete returns the standing of the parties was as follows: Liber- als, 116; Conservatives, 88; Progres- sives, 7; Liberal Progressives, 11; United Farmers of Alberta, 11; Labor, 3; Independents, 2; doubtful, 7. Neces- sary for majority, 123. A Liberal-Progressive coalition was suggested as possible outcome. The five ministers in Mr. Meighen's gov- L. Patenaude, minister of justice; An- dre Fautaux, solicitor general; Eu- gene Paquet, minister of health, and Donald Sutherland, minister without portfollo, and Raymond Morand, min- ister without portfolio. May Summon King to Post. Presumably Gov. Gen. Lori Byng will send for MacKenzie King again to assume the reins of government. Mr. Meighen was elevated to the premiership on the resignation of Mr. King last July when the governor general refused a request of the King government to. dissolve Parliament when it was faced by a vote of cen- sure before the house for its responsi- bility for alleged dishonesty in the customs service. The question of con- stitutionality of Lord Byng’s action was made much of during the cam paign by the Liberals. Other questions which were of high importance during the campaign were Mr. Meighen’s proposal to revise the tariff on the protective principle and Mr. King’s plea that no change in the tariff should be made that might prey on any legitimate industry. Premier Meighen’s Defeat. Premier Meighen was defeated at Portage la Prairle, Manitoba, by E. A. McPherson, an old friend and former law partner. H. H. Stevens, minister of customs and author of the charges of maladministration in_the customs service under the late' King govern- ment, won his seat. Some of the bitterest fighting of the campaign centered about him. All the members of Mr. King's former government who stood for election were returned. Miss Agnes MacPhail again will be Canada’s only woman member of Parliament. She has been a member of the last two Parliaments, and was re-elected vesterday in Grey South- east, Ontario. She is a Progressive. The only other woman candidate, Miss Kathleen Bennett, who ran in a Toronto district, was decisively de- feated. In the last Parliament the Con- servatives had 116 seats, Liberals, 101; Progressives, 24; Labor, 2, and In- dependents, 2. The Conservatives thus lost 28 seats and the Liberals gained 16 eI S The United States supplies more goods to Uruguay than does any other country, and this amount is in- creasing each year. ohn Philip Hill in tight battle for orial nomination.

By the Assoclated Press. MONTPELIER, Vt., September 15.— Vermont Republicans yesterday chose former. Judge John E. Weeks, com- missioner of public welfare, as can- didate for governor in the Novem- ber election. He won with almost as many votes as his two opponents combined, receiving more than 23,000. Representative Elbert S. Brigham of St. Albans, Republican, won renom- ination in_ the first district, and S. Hollister Jackson of Barre won the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor, These were the only con- tests. Senator Porter H. Dale, Republican, was unopposed for renomination to the United States Senate, as was James E. Kennedy for the Democratic nomination. _ Herbert C. Cummins, unopposed, became the Democratic nominee for governor. Weeks sponsored a_ road-building program to be paid for by direct taxa- tion and an_increased gasoline tax. Max L. Powell, who ran second, urged & shortterm bond issue for road building. WEDNESDAY, UPSETS RECORDED INALLEGANY VOTE Hill Leads Weller, But Hum- phreys Trails—Judge Walsh Wins With Ritchie. . Special Dispatch to The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md, September 15.—The primary election in Alle- gany County, although the complete returns were not in this morning, shows some upsets. John Philip Hill, for United States Senator, leads P. E. Weller, who seeks renomination, by over 450 in 45 of the 58 precincts reported. At the same time Mulll- kin, the Weller candidate for gov- ernor, leads Humphreys, the Hill >andidate, by about 150. Representa- tive Zihlman has a lead of 2,100 over George Louis Eppler. Zihl- man will lead by 8,000 or 9,000 in the district, it is belleved. Willlam A. Gunter, wet candidate for State Senator, is about 450 ahead of Horace P. Whiteworth, Westernport, backed by _the drys. ‘The drys have evidently put over thelr legislative ticket with one ex- ception. The nominees will likely be Dando Harris; Jeffreys, Patterson and Sleeman, backed by the drys, and MacFarlane, Wet Kuhns and Leeke, for whom the wets made a fight, have evidently lost, as has Robinette, dry. Harris was backed by both factions. A big Democratic vote was gotten out to make a showing for Judge William C. Walsh of this city, candi- date for the nomination for chief judge, and Gov. Ritchie got the ad- vantage of this. He leads Maloy by over 3,000, while Walsh is ahead of ‘Wachter, Hagerstown, by nearly 3,200. Gov. Ritchie appointed Walsh to the judgeship to fill a vacancy pending the election and the Walsh backers were solid behind the gov- ernor’s campaign. A disappointment to the Democratis organization is the evident nomina- tion of Fay W. Kesher for sheriff. He is an ex-boxer, who has a fine record with the Army in France. The organization backed Walter T. Park- er, a veteran politiclan, at present judge of the Orphans’ Court and a former county commissioner. The Re- publican nominee for sheriff will be William R. Harvey, who got wide prominence as a prohibition officer and against whom the wets made a decided stand, but he seems to have swept all before him. School Reached by Boat Only.
