BLAKESLEE WILLING TO ACCEPT HONOR Former Lieut. Governor Throws His Ha¢ Into Ring for G. O. P. Nomination for Governor. New Haven, Aug. 26.—A statement was given out by former Lieutenant Governor Dennis A Blakesleé today, defining his position as a_ possible candidate for governor at ’e coming republican state convention, This statement was made in response to inquiries made of him as to higs at- titude, in order that republicans of this city in their caucuses next Mon- day may know whether or not to in- struct their delegations to the con- vention. Mr. Blakeslee’s statement, replying to inquiries says: ‘“Certainly I would accept the nominatim for governor were it tendered to me by the repub- lican state convention. The honor is great. No man is bigger than his party, and no man would want to disregard such a call. I am not, nor will I be, a candidate in the sense that I will make a personal and ac- tive canvass for the nomination, Since my return from Europe I have been .told by many friends that my name has been used in conneection with the nomination and I have been urged to accept this honor. If the republicans of the state should nom- inate me for this high office I will ac- cept, and further, I would feel I was highly honored.” DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES, The democratic town committee last night selected August 31 as the date for the ward caucuses. They will be held in the following places: First ward, Bardeck’s hall, Arch street; second ward, McGuire's block, No. 176 Park street; third ward, Eagles’ hall, Holmes & Hoffman’'s building; fourth ward, to be selected later; fifth ward, Skritulsky's hall, Broad street; sixth ward, Solomon's building, No. 131 Hartford avenue.

Minister to Be'gium Piays Impertant Role in War. Washington, Aug. 26.—Brand Whit- lock, Amerjcan minister to Belgium, from Brussels, which he reported to for several days, finally succeeded vesterday in getting a cablegram through to the American government frum Brussels, which he reported to e in German hands, but completely surrounded' by armies engaged in active operations.” Did Not Go to Antwerp. Mr. Whitlock did not move ' the American legation with the Belgium court when the seat of government was taken from Brussels to Antwerp, but remained behind together with most of the other neutral ministers. It develops that through the influence of the American minister and the Spanish minister, the burgomaster of Brussels was persuaded not to make a fight because of the fatal conse- quences of a bombardment of the de- fenseless city. Mr. Whitlock’s' tele- gram, dated Monday, is in part as fol- lows: Duty in Brussels. “Acting under the discretionary powers granted, T decided that my duty lay here in Brussels. The Span- ish minister reached the same con- clusion, as did the ministers of seven- teen other neutral powers. The repre- sentatives who went to Antwerp were the French, Russian and British minis- ters, whose nationg are involved as belligerents and some others who went for personal reasons. “Already entrusted with German interests here, I subsequently took over the British legation and the pro- tection of a large resident British colony. Rendered Efficient Service, “Owing to the disinterested posi- tion of the Unied States, I have been able to render services for which T have been thanked by the German commanding general, by representa- tives of the British colony, by the in- ter-parliamentary union, and by an official of the Belgian foreign office on Lehalf of the king. . “As I reported to the department, the Spanish minister and I made rep- resentations to the burgomaster be- fore the occupation of Brussels, which, in comnection with other considera- tions led him to abandon his inten- tion of attempting a futile defense of the city, which might have brought on a bombardment with all its terrible ccnsequences. Position Is Unique, “The position of our legation in this conflict is unique and happily so detached that, being entirely without apprehension as to our personal safe- tv. we have been able to render cer- tain humane service, scrupulously ob- serving our neutral position.” First Secretary Gibson of the American legation, who went to Ant- werp from Brussels after the latter city was taken by the Germans, tele- grapted the state department that all fcreigners in Brussels were safe and unmolested. $35 FINE FOR HAVING “BOB VEAL” IN STORE Buycerri Had a Little Calf, Little Calf and it Followed Dr. Crowley to Police Station. Sebastino Buycern, a Lafayette street butcher, was fined $35 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning ror having ‘‘bob veal” in his possession. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Meat Inspector George T. Crowley visited Buycerri's place of business last night and claims to have found a veal carcass weighing forty-seven pounds less than the minimum weight permitted by statute. Buy- cerri’s wife pleaded with the inspect- or and begged him not to arrest her husband. Buycerri's statement to Judge Mes- kill was rather contradictory. He sald he went to the country yester- day to buy some vegetables and pur- chased the veal. He believed when he bought it that it weighed sixty pounds, he said, In the next breath Buycerri stated that he did not know the law, despite the fact that he had admitted his familiarity with the re- quirements of the statutes in the previous statement. He has been in business for two years. Luigi Retano was fined $5 for as- saulting his cousin, Joe Retano.
