THEY TRY TO RENT HOUSE. MR CANDIDATE Visitor Does Not Want to Be Governor. NOMINATION LIKELY, IS TOLD Collector Leaves Impression He Will Run, if Necessary. GENERAL POLITICS TOPIC ' President and Customs Officer Be lieve Tariff Commission and Big Appropriation for Work Will Strengthen Republicans. BEVERLY, Mass., July 11. 'William Loeb. Jr.. Collector of the Port of New York, frankly told President Taft to day that he would rather remain at his post In the customs service than to run for Governor of New York this Fall. The President as frankly told Mr. Loeb that the Republican nomination seemed to be coming his way and that it would take more than a fish ing trip to the Rocky Mountains to stop it. The ex-secretary to President Roose velt left Beverly Hills tonight for New York, leaving the impression here that if it became necessary for him to take the Republican nomination he would do so and make a whirlwind campaign. General Discussion Had. The mention of the New York situa tion was Incidental to a talk on gen eral politics between the President, and Mr. Loeb. They were together this morning, before the President went to the Myopia links for a game of golf with Henry C. Trick, who lives near here, and they lunched together at John Hays Hammond's cottage in Glou cester. After the luncheon, the talk con tinued. Mr. Taft was anxious "to hear something of the situation as viewed by someone outside the Immediate Ad ministration circles. Mr. Taft is not interfering in the New York situation In any way. He and Mr. Loeb are close friends and whenever Mr. Loeb's name has been mentioned to the President , in connec tion with the New York Governorship, he always has enthusiastically ap proved the suggestion. Support Counted On. Mr. Loeb has known this for some time. He has known that as far as he could legitimately do so. the President would , bring all his influence to his support In anything he might under take. Mr. Loeb has counted so con fidently on this support that he was rather inclined to resent the inference In some quarters that it was necessary for him to come to Mr. Taft to ask for his Indorsement. The Collector discussed New York poli tics with the President and made no at tempt to conceal the more serious as pects of the situation from the Repub lican point of view. He expressed the belief, however, that the Republicans would get together and that the split in their party would be offset by divisions In the Democratic ranks. Taft Puts Question. It was when they had reached this stage of the conversation that the Presi dent aked Mr. Loeb if it would not be the wisest thing for him to take up the light as the Republican candidate for Governor. Mr. Taft believes Mr. Loeb probably would attract support from more elements of the party than would any other man. Aside from the New York situation, the tariff came in for a share of considera tion at today's conference. Both the President and Mr. Loeb belieev that the tariff commission and the big appropria tion for its work have wonderfully strengtnened the nands of the Repub licans and offer a common ground on which the factions of the party can meet. Taft Is Anxious. President Taft, It te said, is anxious that Colonel Roosevelt should make a careful study of the new law before com mitting himself in any way. The Colonel undoubtedly has the insurgent view of the tarifT pretty well drilled into him by Senators Beveridge, Brlstow, La Fol lette and the others who have been to Sagamore Hill. V Mr. Taft. the story goes today, wants the Colonel to have the Administration view. There is a strong impression in Bev erly that Mr. Loeb will see Governor Hughes tomorrow before the latter goes to Oyster Bay. It will be for the Governor, the Colonel and the other New York leaders to say whether Mr. Loeb is to have the nomina tion thrust upon him.

Gunjiro Aokl and his bride, who was Miss Gladys Emery, daughter of Rev. John A. Emery, of San Francisco, archdeacon of the Episcopal diocese of California, have felt in Los Angeles the same force of public sentiment against intermarriage of white girls with Jap anese that has met them wherever their wanderings have taken them since their wedding. Compelled to give up the'r cottage which they rented on East Twenty eighth street, the Aokis have hunted in vain for a suitable dwelling which they could rent, both here and at the beaches, only to meet rebuffs. They are still in Los Angeles, and it is be lived that Aokl has been driven to take his white wife and their child to the home of a Japanese friend. Two weeks ago a ' residence ' was rented at 226 East Twenty-eighth street by Aoki, his wife and Mrs. Em ery. The Aokis were happy for a day or two in their little home, until the owner discovered their identity. The owner declared that it was to protect her property Interests that she was compelled to order them to vacate the premises.

Yesterday they came back to Los Angeles, and It is supposed took refuge with friends. PRINCE IS NOT CITIZEN Prominent Tacoma Merchant, Cana dian, Votes in XT. S. for Years.

WASHINGTON, July 11. Washington Lee Capps, Captain in the regular Naval establishment and Rear-Admiral by virtue of the fact that for nearly seven years he has been head of the Bureau of Construction and Repair, today ten dered his resignation to take effect Oc tober 1. It has been accepted. Neither Secretary Meyer nor Admiral Capps tonight would discuBS the Ad miral's sudden determination to retire from the service. Admiral Capps, be fore a Congressional court last Winter, bitterly opposed the plans of Secretary Meyer for a reorganization of the Navy Department. Capp Opposes New Policy. t In a formal statement issued tonight by the Navy Department, the situation growing out of the difference of opin ion between the Secretary and the Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair, was set forth as follows: This action on the part of Chief Con structor Capps was prompted by the fact that he does not find himself, as stated in hie application, in entire ac cord with certain details of the reor ganization policy of the President and Mr. Meyer. Under these circumstances, Mr. Meyer deemed it for the best interests of the naval service to recommend that Mr. Capps' resignation be accepted and that he then be transferred to other duties." ' New Position to Be Found. Mr. Capps, it is said, will be assigned appropriate duty in accordance with his rank and experience. The chief constructor will have com pleted on October 1, 30 years of service in the Navy and thus be entitled to retire ment with the rank of Rear-Admiral. In the mean time he will probably be sent on a tour of inspection to the West Coast or to the Philippines to compete the record of inspection work which he pre viously has done in that direction.

Collari wilted just the same as they did Sunday and there were more of them, because it was a day of business and men did not have the opportunity to lounge around In imaginary cool places as on Sunday. About the only individuals who did not mind the weather were the Ice men.

Ice tags dangled from windows and fluttering around veranda posts were like flags of distress beckoning the ice man for help.
