With the last week of the primary campaign at hand, candidates for common pleas court are carrying their campaigns to the voters with all the vigor at their command.

It is, under the surface, as violent a drive for votes as the Pittsburgh mayoralty campaign, but by reason of its type, superficially it is far less sensational. But the rancor is as bitter, even though mostly unexpressed. And confused as is the mayoralty campaign, the judiciary battle is worse. There is no actual organization slate at which "independents" can drive. The organization is split badly.

Judge Smith's Battle. Judge Ralph H. Smith, appointed by Governor Pinchot and now seeking election, is the target of that part of the organization most closely aligned with State Senator James J. Coyne. Judge Smith j-ecently recognized this in public by asserting that Coyne had threatened to "take him off the Kaws 4 4 A ft .4.

And Roberts, with Mayor Herron's at least tacit approval, made it equally a party for Judge Smith.

Favored by Organization. Judge Harry H. Rowand is also said to be supported by the organization, and it is probable he and William H. Coleman, county Republican chairman, will get most, if not all, of the strictly organization support. And yet, Rowand is endorsed by many of the independent factions as well.

He came close, in fact, to being endorsed even by the Democratic lawyers, and only a hot "bi-partisan" charge at the lawyers' meeting prevented it. Alexander P.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. -CD-Nine additional destroyers knifed their way in fleet formation toward Cuban waters tonight while administration officials here studied the possibilities of recognizing the island's new revolutionary government. From within high councils came word that recognition might be accorded quickly, but that President Roosevelt was determined to insist upon complete proof that the new government could maintain order and protect life and property.

Should recent disorders in Cuba continue, or should Mr. Roosevelt consider that the Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin regime could not properly set Cuba's house in order, it was said, recognition would be delayed, if given at all. Officially silence was maintained as far as affairs in the Southern island were concerned. It was made increasingly plain, however, that the administration had no immediate intention of relaxing, preparations for protecting American lives and property in Cuba should the need arise.
