Rickard does not intend to contest. He said today he would immediately transfer the match to some other state if the court ruled against him. He did not look with favor on the prospect of a long legal fight to keep it here. Governor Gillett, whose word yester day to the Attorney-General created the greatest stir sportdon has known since Jim Corbett defeated John L. Sullivan, arrived from Sacramento today. He was' positive in defining his position. The fight could be stopped and would be stopped, he declared. For the op position his procedure might arouse he did not "care a hoot," apparently. He said as much in almost ask, many words. Governor Presides at "Expo" Meet. The Governor came to San Francisco to preside over an exposition mass meeting. As it has been noised around that the status of the exposition at Washington had much to do with his no-fight order, the sporting" writers hustled around to hear anything relative to the battle that might slip out. They were disap pointed. Not a word concerning it was spoken at the meeting. The only real action of the day in the big fight mix-up was a gloomy one for the fight fai.s. Work on Arena Stops. Work was stopped on the construc tion of the arena. Rickard said he was about to do this, but men were not actually laid off until today. Rickard had very little to say today. He is awaiting developments. If his predictions hold good he will be able to say what town gets the fight by to morrow noon. The promoter's office has been flooded all day with offers of sites for his big show. Reno," Tacoma, Juarez, Mexico, and several other places have been sug gested and offers of all kinds came dur ing the day. Rickard said that no dis cussion of the site for the battle, if. not carried through here, has been had be tween himself and Gleason, but It aeems probable that Nevada will get this par ticular plum. The state laws there are emphatic in permitting fights and the" promoters are tired of interference or threats of interference. Nobody Knows; All Guess. So the situation tonight is Just about where it was last night. Nobody knows. Everybody is guessing. Rickard Is the only man who has any real inkling of what is going to happen, and Rick ard says: "I'll let you know." Governor lieady for Suit. Told of Rickard's plan to sue him, Governor Gillett said: "If Tex Rickard is looking for a fight with me, he will get a bigger one than he has advertised for July 4." Of the statement made by Mayor Mc Carthy or San Francisco in Chicago last night, which criticised the Governor's Intervention against the fight, the state's Executive refused to talk. Attorney-General Webb in a state ment issued late last night pledges him self to stop the contest. He says': "The letter of the Governor is a posi tive and peremptory command ad dressed to this office to prevent the Jeffries-Johnson fight. The Governor states that the facts as presented to him show that the fight, if held, will be a prizefight and that prizefights are prohibited by the laws of this state. "This command the Governor has the right and power to make, and it Is the duty of this office to comply with it. I shall take such action as the law war rants to prevent the fight being held. It is the right of the office of the Gov ernor to take command; it is the duty of this office to obey. His instructions will be followed to the letter. "I am not at liberty to state just the character of proceeding that will be instituted, but such action or actions as may be necessary to accomplish the ends desired by the Governor will be brought. "The fact of the matter is," declared the Attorney-General, "that if this con test is one in which the contestants en ter the ring with the avowed intention of 'knocking each ther out,' to use a fighting term, it is a prizefight and against the law. If they do not con template knocking each other out, I apprehend it is a fake and ought to bo stopped." - , JEFF READY TO BREAK CAMP Tighter "Willing to Switch to evada at Any Time. BEN LOMOND. Cal., June 16. With a reassuring telegram from Rickard tucked under his belt, Jeffries kept serenely at work at his training quar ters today. The telegram from the promoter informed the boiler-maker that, in spite of the present agitation. the fight in all probability will be held in San Francisco. Jeffries worked, during the morn ing, like a busy farmer in haying time, assaulting the punching bag and romp ing through several fast handball series. In the afternoon he slipped out of camp and spent several, hours fish ing. As a reason for his failure to do any sparring, it was given out that he did not propose to let the visitors from the Johnson camp get a line on his speed or condition. Jeffries has promised Corbett that he will put the gloves on with- him tomorrow. Jeffries refuses to discuss the fight and seems unperturbed about the dis Quieting news. He appeared to be in excellent spirits this afternoon and was ready to talk about anything but the fight situation. Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, an nounced tonight that Camp Ben Lo mond is ready to be broken at any time and that trains can be caught from there to Nevada In a single day. TefTries said he would be ready to move at any time the word arrived, and members of the training staff have been ordered to prepare for a sudden jump Berger seems to be of the opinion that Reno will be the scene or the ngnt.

Billy De laney, the veteran trainer and man ager or prizefighters, took charge of the Johnson camp today. "Johnson appears to be in fettle," said jjelaney after the fighter had gone through his usual workout In the after noon before a large audience. "From now on I will be at the train ing camp and superintending Johnson's work. 1 can say for Johnson that he is ready and willing to fight at any place where the fight may he held. don't lcnow what to think of Governor Gilletfs action in stopping the fight, It appears to have been a sudden move on his part, as he had the last six months in which to take the action.' George Little, the champion's ex manager, stirred up further trouble in the camp in the morning by attaching the champion's new automobile. The attachment is made to secure $2350 alleged to be due Little. When told of Little's action, Johnson became an gry. He immediately drove to police headquarters with Tom Flanagan and was closeted with Chief of .Ponce Mar tin for more than an hour. After re peated conferences with his associates. at the camp and an ineffectual attempt to secure a warrant for Little's arrest. he announced he would defer action until tomorrow. In spte of the worries of the day, the champion seemed to be In good spirits in the afternoon, and went through his training routine with his usual zest. Mrs. Doxey Held for Bigamy. ST, LOUIS.

Mixing Scrap and Legislation for Panama Open ing Celebration In 1915. WASHINGTON, June 16. A diversity of views characterized today's gossip over the result of the Jeffries-Johnson fight' agitation., and for California leg islation for the Panama Exnosition. representative Bennett, of New York. whose telegram to Calirornla to pro test against the fight is supposed to nave figured Jn Governor Gllletfa de cision, was smiling and Tiappy. Mr. Miller, or Kansas, said: Kansan Has Opinion. "I would not vote for a state or a city that encourages prizefighting. I snouid nave a state subserve the wishes of its citizens." - . California members did not believe in mixing in the two matters. Hayt.s could see no connection between the fight and the selection of the exposition site. Mr. Kahn opposed confounding the two events, so did McWinway, Mc- i,acnian and others of that state. 'The prizefight will not affect the exposition," Mr. Goldfogle said. I would not deny the privilege to anyone," Mr. Gaines or West Virginia sald,,-"who would want to witness the fight or the exposition. I don't sun- pose I will see either." "I favor New Orleans," said Mr. Sims of Tennessee, "but I would not vote against San Francisco just because it permitted a prizefight." 'I am not a prizefight exponent." Mr. Madden ot Illinois said, "but I don't see any connection between a prize fight in 1910 and an exposition in 1915. It would not affect my vote." "I am glad the fight has been stopped," Mr. Douglas of Ohiosaid. "'It should have been stopped long ago. uo you tninK we would permit such exhibitions in Ohio?" . JEFF WOUIiD FIGHT ANYWHERE Pugilist Ready to Meet Negro in Pri vate, If Necessary. -BEN LOMOND. Cal.. June 16. "I don't care where we go as long as we fight," declared James J. Jeffries to day as he prepared for his usual train ing work. The fighter received a mes sage from Tex Rickard early today in which the promoter declared that the battle possibly would be held in San Francisco after all, but which failed to tate why Rickard thought so. Jef fries was in high spirits after reading it. "Any old place suits me," he declared. "Sooner than miss the chance to meet Johnson now, after all the trouble I've gone to, I'd box him in private. I want Rickard and Gleason to know that I'm with them in whatever they do. I'll box in any town they select. I think square sporting men should stick to them to the last." Jeffries feels that if the fight goes to Nevada all the mountain, climbing he has done here will stand him in good stead. He has done a lot or work that took him to an elevation of 2000 feet above sea-level and the Nevada altitude will not bother him.

Jeffries-Johnson con test to this city received a backset today when Governor Spry positively announced that he saw no reason to change his for mer expressed view that It could not be held in this state. To the Associated Press, Oovernor Spry said: "I see no reason for chanping my posi tion. The fact that Governor Gillett, of California, has refused to allow his state to be disgraced by having the fight in it Is but an added reason why I should not change my former position.
