THE SUN, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1918. 4sMV HARMONY PLAN 0FSTATEG.0.P. AGREED UPON Chairman Glynn and 2 Senators Arrange for Mcrg. iiiflf of Factions. TO VOTE BY COUNTIES Floor Rights for All Republicans, but Ballots for Delegates Only.

Spicial Itttpatch to Tns Sex. Washington, June 27. The upshot of lo-day'a conference between Senators Wadsworth nrul Calder ami Chairman Olynn nnd Secretary Gleason of the He-publican Stntc Committee was that both Bides apparently have iigrecd upon a compromise. Urnler this plan the State committee will meet next Saturday, and Is expected to Issue call for an Informal convention of the party to be held at Saratoga on July 18 and 19. this meeting to be merged with the meeting called by the two Senators for July IS.

It has been agreed, however, that while the meeting Is to be open to nny Republican who wishes to attend, In accordance with the Wadaworth-Cnlder plan, any voting to be dono shall be done by counties, In tho regular manner and In accordance with the votes cast for Oovcrnor In the last election. In other words, In deciding by vote nny question that Is raised the "town meeting" Idea will be superseded by the convention. Insist on Vote br Counties. While there Is not sufficient time for a regular call to be Issued for the Informal election of delegates to this convention, the State committee. In accordance with this plan, will Invite the county organisations to select delegates Informally In proportion to the vote of two years ago, thus carrying out the convention Idea.

Any Republican In the State not only may attend the meeting whether selected as a delegate or not, but he will also hare all of tho rights of the floor ex cept when It comes to voting, which, It Is understood, Is to be confined to tho "Informal delegates." Chairman Glynn and Secretary Glea-eotl aro said to have been well satisfied at the result of the conference which was held In Senator Wadaworth's office. Both sides described the meeting as .1 perfectly friendly one and Us outcome as conducive to harmony. It Is understood that Chairman Olynn, after consulting with Governor Whitman and his friends, came down here with an offer to call the meeting on the same date as that Tlxed In the Wadsworth-Calder call, but that the Whitman side was prepared to Insist upon the convention plan when It came to deciding any questions by vote. Harmony geema Assured. This on the face of things would appear to give control of the convention to the Whitman organization.

However. If the plan is carried through opponents of the organization may attend In large numbers and make themselves heard on the floor. Senators Wadsworth and Calder profess to be thoroughly satisfied at having brought about a conference of Republicans in advance of the primaries, which they Insist was their chief purpose. The plan agreed upon must, of course, have the approval of the State committee, but It seamed to be the Idea to-day that there would be little difficulty In bringing this about. The conference.

It Is said. Is to discuss Issues and principles rather than candidates. It whs suggested to-day that the so-called convention might try to bind Senator Wadsworth to a vote for the suffrage amendment. To this Senator Wadsworth replied to-day "As suffrage Is a national Issue I should, of course, refuse to be bound by any such action." That the meeting will have potentialities of trouble both regarding suffrage and prohibition Is admitted here. Friends of Gov, Whitman say that the prohibition question will certainly come up, and that opposition to It has been back of the Wadsworth-Calder move.

LEAGUE FA VORS MEETING Indorses Stand of Wadsworth nnd Calder. John A. Stewart, president of the League of Republican Clubs, In this city-last night made public a statement signed by about ISO Republicans expressing their hearty approval of the call for the Republican meeting at Saratoga July 18, It reads: "We Indorse the Initiative taken by Senator James W. Wadsworth, and Senator William M. Calder, and welcome the Indicated cooperation therein of the State Committee In calling upon Republicans of New York to do what Ameri cans have done for two and a half centuries, namely, to assemble to talk over matters of common concern, arrive at a consensus nf view and take such action as may seem to be.

In the opinion of the majority, in the common Interest. "We respectfully point out to our fellow Republicans that the coming campaign Is of special significance and that the welfaro of the country through tho Republican party transcends the per sonal Interest of every Individual In the party. No one will attempt to dispute the fact that not since 1860 has It been so Important that the nominees of the Republican party for State officers and for Representatives In the Congress shall make their appeal to the voters upon a platform which frankly voices the opln Ion and belief of the average Republl can of the State as to the constructive policies and underlying principles of Re publicanism. To Calve Women a Voice, enflnl tVint fh wnmn nf th, V. that full opportunity to which they are entitled both of representation in the councils of the party and In moulding ana miming me expression oc us pnncl pies and policies, "To carry this out an equal basis fo such representation ahnnlri Km Mr.

Stewart declared there was no warrant tor tne assumption that the movement for a conference had been Initiated or directed by men committed to the candidacies of either Mr. Whitman or i-ewis. When Will II, Hays, the national chairman, who Is known to have expressed the hope that there would be only one State wide meeting of Republicans here, was asked about the situation before be took the train for Chicago yesterday afternoon he s.tld: There Is nothing I can say officially, Of course I am taking no part In the mutter, I am Interested In It liecause when the conference is held It will he of national party Interest. I am oulte sure there will be only one State wide meeting, and it will be of splendid consc. iuenca and the very widest Interest Cut.

Thenrlnre 4 rjiit Ilia UC- glance yesterday to those in charge of the meeting of Republicans to be held at Saratoga. July 18. The Colonel said "Mr. Taft and 1 will speak at tho meeting arranged by the New York Senators, It being of course understood that the meeting has nothing to do with any contest for Iho nomination to any position. My speech will be an appeal to the patriotism, of tho country to speed up the war In accordance to the position that the Republican party Is taking, and will continue to take, and I am sure that Mr.

Tuft's speech and mine will be along the same general lines and will be for the same object." Col. Roosevelt motored to New York yesterday morning and while there had luncheon with W. II. Hays, Republican National Chairman. Glynn Predicts Harmony On his return to this city from Washington last night State Chairman Glynn lefused to admit that any detlnlto conclusion had been reached at the conference with Senators Wadsworth and Calder, but predicted there would be harmony.

From other sources, which had been In communication with Washington It was learned, at the plan is to have committee of five appointed nt the meeting of the State committee tomorrow to cooperate with the Senatorstin arranging for the "town meeting" and to coordinate Its activities as far possible with the unofficial convention made up nf delegates chosen In a representative manner. "No conclusion was reached," win what CI airman Glynn mid. "The action of the State committee on Saturday la subject to further talks with the Sena; tors. The State committee would tie able to have an unofficial convention on July IS, except that It would be Impossible to choose thu delegates bv direct primary. We had a very plt'tnt talk.

We assured them the State c.fi-mittee would go as far as poslhle to meet any request they might make. I am sure they were Impressed with our sincerity and we got the same Impression of their attitude. The outlook for rurmony Is bright." BARNES ATTACKED IN LETTER TO T.R.

He said In part 'v hen Mr. Iewls camo out with his declaration that governors should go to confession too and be guided by Mr.

"I recall that when I went to Albany with the first direct primary' bill proposed In this State and fathered by the now Judges Ford and Paige in the Sen ate, Mr. Raines Informed me that the principles Involved In the proposed bill were very obnoxious to 'Mr. Barnes of Albany" and Senators Raines and Mc-Carren under the able leadership of Hames of Albany' were able for several years to prevent our advancing the bill beyond the committee.

Charles Francis Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall and In past jcars dic tator of State nominations, kept away from th meeting of the Democratic State committee, which In the Hotel Knickerbocker Issued jesterday a call for party conference to be held In Saratoga at noon Tuesday, July 23. Ho did not want be asked as to his views on the nomination for Governor, and the up-State members of the committee went home last night as much In the dark as ever as to what Mr. Murphy thought about the situation. However, there was a strong feeling among the leaders that there was more enthusiasm for the nomination of Alfred E.

Smith, president of the Board of Aldermen, up state than among the Tammany men. It was reported that Murphy secretly was discouraging talk of the former Speaker of the As sembly, and the explanation given was mat the leader of Tammany Hall feared the political elevation of his lieutenant. Also It was said there were many of tne Tammany leaders who harbored feelings of Jealousy against their fellow leader. Sixteen Votes for Smith. From source close to the Inutile of the Committee of Forty-two, which has been engaged in "sounding sentiment" among the up-State Democrats, it was reported that on a showdown there might be.

The women members of the State corrmjttce, who have not as yet been legally elected to membership, were not present.

They will have a conference nt the National Democratic Club to-mor row to formulate what action they will takn on the selection of the State ticket and the formulation of a platform. The call for tho Saratoga conference stated tho purpose of the meeting to bo the adoption of platform and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the conference." No mention was made of the selection of a ticket, but It Is understood this will be done, ns was the case at tho uuotllclil convention two years ago. Three Delegates Per District. The basis of representation tlxed yes terday wa three delegates and three alternates from each Assembly district, to be selected by the member of th State committee In the district after conference with the county chairman and the members of the Assembly district committee.

A committee of five will be named by the State Chairman. Charles A. Byrne and Thomas Median were elected members to take the places of John Morrleey Gray and Thomas It. Farroll In the Eighth and Tenth districts in Kings respectively.

Ther Is considerable sentiment In favor of William rtiurch Osborn. but the objection hns been raised that he would be opposed hy William Randolph Hearst because ho supported John Purrov Mltchel for Mayor last fall, Friends of vv, iraryi rciy or uurraio are hoping that the lightning may strike him, but against htm the point 1 sralsed that he has had too many cotporate relations. Many Urge W. D.

Alexander. From various parts of the State ex. presslons favorable to the nomination of llllam Alexander have reached members of the State committee. Those who hnve been familiar with his work as member of the State Board of Regents are particularly strong in their praise of his grasp of State government Although T. Hnrvcy Ferris of Utlca, one or tne prominent members of the execu tlvo committee of the committee of forty-two, declare he has no cholcn for the nomination.

It Is learned that he has been talking the availability of Mr. Alexander. In every discussion of candidates It Is admitted that Mr. Hearst would he a hard man to turn down If he actually should come out openly and demand tho nomination, jonn ll. In Kings, It Is said, feels a strong sense of obligation to tho editor for what he did for the election of the MrCooey county ticKoi two yenrs ago ana tor his ass nt ance In the nomination and election of Mayor llylan.

But the up-State men Hectare, emphatically that they would fight Hearst to the last and express the opinion that his nomination would split tho pnrty wide open, Friends of District Attorney Kdward say Mr. Hearst has given them tho Impression he might favor him for the nomination.

A OWNER OF 2 UNPATRIOTIC PARK HILL DOGS GUILTY Convicted of Soaking War Garden Owner on Jaw When He Protested Animals' Invasion Got "His Dutch Up." Even the exclusive Park Hill section of Yonkers has to resort to the Inferior criminal courts occasionally In' these war times, albeit against Its wltt and better Instincts.

And it so happened yesterday was one of the occasions on which Park Hill was treated to "the perfectly shocking" spectacle of threo of Its cllto figuring on principals In the well known but frowned on tolls. The case, tried before. Judge William Bleakley and a Jury yesterday, presents many novel angles Involving Louis A. Van Dyke, a perfume Importer, of 39 Broadway; George V. Gross, also a perfume Importer, 30 Old slip; Mrs.

Gross, and two unpatriotic dogs, an Airedale and a collie. Counting the blooded dogs, there were five principals. The dogs, property of Mr. Van Dyke, got Into the war garden of the Grosses. Bath Van Dyke and the Grosses live In -Marshall road and were not unfriendly at the time.

Mr. Gross called promptly on his neighbor. What he charged him with docs not appenr. It does appear on the records of the court, however, that Mr. Vnn Dyke ended the Interview hy striking Mr.

Z. Graves. Arch R. Sampson Is convinced that most drowning men who clutch frantically a't floating straws and discover that they have a firm grasp on a life preserver are ungrateful. As a result of this theory a process server sat In Peacock Alley at the Waldorf for wvcral hours on Tuesday until Nelson Graves of Philadelphia, said by Mr.

Sampson to be worth 12,000,000, appeared threading his way between groups of gavly caparisoned women folks who had gathered there for tea and one thing or another. No sooner did Mr. Graves arrive than he received a summons and complaint In a $10,000 damage suit, which was filed In the Supreme Court yesterday by Scott. Gerard Bowers, Mr. Sampson's attorneys.

Back on February 2, If 17, so It appears from tho papers, although Mr. Graves owned a paint business In Philadelphia, a hotel at Cape May, and minings stocks In properties scattered over the West, he was paddling desperately in the financial sea In an effort to keep his head above water. His debts exceeded the amount of cash 111 his possession by $600,000, and his creditors were pressing him without mercy, so Mr Sampson says. On the date in question Mr. Sampson declares that he and Mr.

Graves discussed the situation and that he agreed to act as a life preserver for a consideration. The Phlladelphlan agreed, according to Sampson, to pay him 10 per cent on nil loans that could be obtained on his account, up to $300,000. Mr Sampson permitted no gram to grow under his feet. Eleven days later, he says, he presented Mr. Graves to George Matthles of Seymour.

who Is posed of "ample means," nnd who announced his willingness to advance funds to aid the temporarily embarrassed Philadelphia millionaire. And thnt Is the last that Mr. Sampson ever saw of either of them, he says, though he knows that Graves tot the money On November 10 Sampson demanded his commission of $50,000, but declares that he met with an unqualified refusal He bided his time until Tuesday. when Mr, Graves's pieence at the Waldorf permitted service of the papers In the suit.

Newton, Collector of tho Port of New York, was the chief speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club of New York In the McAI-pln Hotel yesterday. Collector Newton repented his assertion that New York was certain tu maintain her place as the greatest seaport in the world, but regretted that Congress had seen fit to cut down appropriations designed to develop the port.

The Collector declared that his own war time duties prevented him from going Into details over what should be done to develop the port, but predicted that the requirements would be fully met by Congress eventually.

He was found guilty on the charge of assaulting Mr. Gross and will be sentenced later. The other charges, Including tho one against Van Dyke of harboring vicious dogs, were dismissed. Mr. Van Dyke, a native of Holland, defended the charge against the dogs In a novel way.

He offered to pay damages for any harm they might do If the Judge would test their gentleness by permitting them to run freo in court, lie wns taken up, and the dogs gambolled for a time without shedding blood, thereby convincing Judge and Jury, If the verdict In their favor Is to be taken as Indicating The witnesses Included Mr. llord, the lawyer, nnd Major August Llegnid, who described himself as a member of the French High Commission, with an office at 05 Broadway. Major Llegard, a frequent visitor at tho Gross home, had always regarded the dogs as dangerous, he testified. Mr. llord was more Interested In their lack of patriotism.

He had told their owner, he testified, that he (Van Dyke) was unpatriotic to harbor dogs showing such wanton disregard for war gardens.

"We are, therefore, using women for such work as they can perform efficiently Beginning to-day women will be placed In tho station department of the subway In charge of cancelling boxes.

They will tako their seniority with the men employees, but their entering tho service will not result in displacing any of the present male employees. For some time we have found It most dlfllcult to get men. Undo Sam has taken large number of our trnlned employees, war Industries have taken others, nnd still others have gone Into other businesses. "In using women In the stations where we cannot find men for the work we are opening up a new field of opportunities for women who want to earn money. While wn are not displacing any of our present male employees In order to make places for women, we know that wnr demands will open up many positions for women that are now being filled by men.

"We have discussed this matter with the members of the Interborough Brotherhood, and our men employees, realizing tho situation, have agreed with us that the only solution of the difficulty Is the employment of women."

EMERSON DEFENCE CITES FORD'S LIFE Lawyers Tell of Automobile! Sinker's Tribulations in Getting Start. U. S. EXPERT IS ATTACKED Hupp a "Dreamer" With Idea Who Sought to Eclipse Cheap Car Pioneer.

Judd Rush, a California lawyer who camo from Iot Angeles to put his I I 1. tt At the service of the Hmerson Motors Com-! pany and Its associated corporation and Individual defendants who are on trial before Judge Martin T. Manton and a Jury In the Federal District Court charged with using the malls to defraud, drew a story from an unwritten page of the life of Henry Ford yesterday to illustrate the theory of the defence that the Investor In Kmerson shares took advantage ot a reasonably secure speculative opportunity. According to Rush, when Ford was trying to raise cash with which to exploit his Idea of manufacturing a cheap automobile with standardized parts that could always be used, no matter how greatly the fashion In motor car construction changed, he obtained $10,000 from an elderly friend. The lender became alarmed after the money had been fpent and demanded It back.

He coupled the demand with a threat of criminal prosecution. Ford with difficulty raised $5,000 and gave it to the man. This left him with a stock Interest In the Ford company. Several years later, according to Rush, the old man approached Ford after receiving a check of as one dividend and said to him, "You know. Henry.

If you had not had such a good friend In me you would never have been heard of." A "Ilrenmer" With an Idea. According to Hush, Robert C. Hupp, the practical automobile man around whom the Kmerson structure was erected, was a "dreamer of dreams" with an Idea. Hupp believed he could take advantage of the conservatism that had come upon Henry Tord nnd build a car that would be an Improvement upon the Ford. Improvements In springs, lamp-, that would remain lighted wijen the engine stopped, and larger wheel base could be made without Increasing the cost, according to Bush.

Hupp launched his Idea with the assistance of Theodore A. Campbell, an nutomoblle man of Jackson. Mich. Nicholas Field Wilson, a New York stock broker, and Col. Willis George nf ChtCflCO.

The i Hmerson Company was formed In 1916 and Its officers arted throughout In good faith, Mr. Rush contended. Substantial tipur attainment In June. 1917, when, following newspaper attacks, the Government began prosecution. Mr.

Rush, as counsel for llson, summed up In a general way for the defence fmm a technical standpoint. Stanley Fowler summed up the case as affecting Theodore A. Campbell and his son. George. Tho Campbells.

Fowler struck hard at testimony given for the Government by Klwood Berkeley, an expert accountant of the Department Justice, that outstanding shares of tho Kmerson Company were worth 3 cents apiece at the time he made his re-port before the Indictment was found He asfied the Jurors If they thought It was fair to appraise a stojk by balancing the assets of the company against that company's' outstanding tick, this at a time wren the company was a going concern with Intangible assets In the form of a daily quota of orders for cars, the Increasing value of Its plant at Kingston, and orders worth $1,000,000 In the hands of the Kells Radiator Company, a side Issue. Mr. Fowler declared that an allotment of $699,000 worth of treasury common stock to Hupp was not an ex- cesslve appraisal of the value of his Ideas to the company He said that the transaction wns put through hy Hill, an attorney, and asked why Hill was not Indicted If It were wrong.

He declared that the putting or worth of stock Into a voting pool to last for three years was proof of tho hopes of tho promoters of a substantial commercial success and a contradiction of the fraud charge. The lawyer asserted that the ch'selllng of the Ford name plate and serial number from the motor and cylinder block of the first sample car was In the coiire of an automobile trade custom. "We bought the Ford engine nnd It was ours to do with as we pleased," he said He said Ford had fought successfully to avoid paying tribute to the holder of a motor engine patent. The summing up will continue today. The trial, which began on May 26, may go to the Jury to-morrow.

Allen and Sterling are charged with accepting commissions for leasing the premises nt 23S Madison avenue, headquarters of the society, Mrs.

She reemed to think Is was due to her failure to disband the society and turn over the books to the District Attorney's office as she was requested several weeks ago, she said, by an agent of the District Attorney. She said the members Indignantly refused to disband when she told them of the official suggestion, and subsequently reelected her president by a unanimous vote.

"Mrs. Story Is being prosecuted an scapegoat," said Mr. Mooney. "This Is the first time In my experience that a woman has been pursued for the alleged misdoings of her children. This is a new species of warfare that I do not understand.

They endeavored to throw a brickbat at tho children and hit tho mother," Mr. Mooney added that several members of the relief society had offered to furnish ball for Mrs. Story, but the offers were declined. Bond was pro vided by a surety company. nefitsed to Herd Warnlngr.
