Rumor had it that the jurors were still split 10 to 2 for conviction and that there was heated argument concerning Doctor Wil- kin’s flight to Baltimore, Justice Manning has intimated that he will keop the jury out for 24 hours and longer if it appears there is a chance to agree on a verdict, In view of this it is expected he will cajl the jurors into court at 5 o'clock and dis- change them or give them further instructions.

WILKINS PECORD IS CHOSEN TO BE REFEREE IN WILLARD FIGHT pa LA eo G His Selection Pleases Fighters and All Others Gone; cerned, By Robert Edgren (Special to The Drening World.) TOLEDO, Ohio, June 27.—"Ollie” Pecord has been officially chosen ref- eree for the Willard-Dempsey bout. There will be two judges, and Tex Rickard and A. Drexel Biddle have been named by the Board of Boxing Jack Skelly of Yonkers, N. Y,, is alternate referee, and Waren Barbour timekeeper. As I predicted ten days ago the Toledo Boxing Com- mission held out for Pecord and forced the selection of the local ref- eree, one of the commission's rules being that the commission's official referee must be third man in the ring in all contests, ~The Boxing Board Control and both boxers and their managers selected other men for the position. Willard held that as cham- pion be had his title at stake .nd insisted that his selection must be accepted. He wanted to have Tex Rickard referee the bout himself, just as he did at Reno when Jeffries and John- son could not agree upon a referee. Jess was so set on this idea that he is‘ reported to have threatened to pack up and leave unleag be had his way. Rickard flatly refused to act as referee under any circumstances, because of the tremendous busiress responsibility he will be under on that day. Jack Kearns accepted three men on the board's list, any, one of whom would suit him and Dempsey. but Willard obstinately refused to con- sider any of them. There were two and three hour consultations between the principals, Rickard an@ members of the Board of Boxing Control and the Toledo Boxing Commission, but no news was given out for publica- tion, When the affair was at last settled the board of representatives Hustled back to New York, and later Control.
