V THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 17, 1920 he step aside. Irrespective of these explanations, it has been fairly well accepted in political circles that there was a prearransrement with rettard to Samuels and Nugent, whether it Is 111 IDAHO 3-COBED caiiea a "deal' in the sense of tne word or labeled something else. The entire controversy is causing no little friction in the democratic party. In defending Nugent, the New Freedom, the state democratic mouthpiece published here, speaking of the counter movement among the self-styled "Legion of Loyal Demo crats" says: "The claim that this movement was - started because Samuels withdrew in favor of Nugent is a lie. The so-called loyalists today must be ready to sacrifice the rest of the democratic" ticket to beat Nugent, just as 'they were ready to sacrifice Moore for the same purpose two years ago." A. & G.

IMPORTED BEADED BAGS (A FEW VERT FINE ANTIQUES) REPUBLICANS FEEL SAFE Rumor Persistent That Leaguers Will Be Instructed at Eleventh Hour to Vote for Walters. BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 16. (Special.) The first day allowed by law for can didates nominated at the August pri mary to withdraw from tickets on which they were named has passed and S. D. Fairchild remains as standard-bearer of the Non-partisan league in this state, forcing a. three-cornered fight for governor. While Mr. Fairchild did not step aside,' as did H. F. Samuels, the league's candidate lor senator, in order that John F. Nugent,, democrat, might have clean sailing, it is said, the word will go down the line among leaguers during the eleventh hour of the campaign to vote for T. A. Walters, democrat'c candidate for governor. League, lead ers are positive in their statements that there will be no switching from airchild: that they have given in as far as they can to the democrats and their full force will be voted for their candidate for governor. But league leaders must know, as the republican and democratic lead ers' know, that, if Fairchild remains actively in the race the republican gubernatorial nominee, D. W. Iavis, will be elected. It will take some thing decidedly sensational to change the situation between now and elec tion day. State Chairman Thomas, however, Is taking no chances. He has speak ers, including all of the candidates from senator down, actively engaged on the stump. Governor Davis has been spending the week in the north, together with Representative French, while Attorney-general Black and Frank R. Gooding, candidate for sen ator, have toured the south. Gooding is now working into northern terri tory and will be there two weeks. Democrats Have Strong; Hopes. Apparently the democrats have strong hopes of winning even in a three-cornered fight in a state nor mally republican like Idaho. Waiters,, candidate for governor, has been on the stump three weeks and expects to remain out until just before elec tion. Walters was attorney - gen eral during the Alexander adminis tration. He is spoken of as Alex ander's candidate for governor. That former Governor Alexander and former Attorney-General Walters are close friends is well known. That Alexander will do everything pos sible to elect Walters is also a fact. He is on the stump now urging his candidacy before electors and vigor ously attacking the Davis administra tion. Former Governor Hawley, former Senator "Perky and other lead ing democrats have been drafted and placed in the harness. Nothing is being left undone to save Senator Nugent and to elect Walters. Out eide of these two the democrats have little hope. In the meantime, the Non-partisan league is lending a helping hand. Samuels is speaking in many parts of the state for Nugent. This has aroused no little comment and has stimulated interest in the alleged combination between the democrats nd the league, which the "Loyal Legion of Democrats" is fighting with all of the strength at its com mand, but thaf strength is limited because the membership of the latter league is limited. In support of its contention that there was no deal made to ..withdraw Samuels at the time he was nom inated for senator, but that he agreed to withdraw if a referendum vote of the delegates at the league conven tion so dictated, the Idaho Leader, mouthpiece of the league, published all of the correspondence that passed between Samuels, the league and the notification letter of Samuels to Nu gent that he had withdrawn in his favor and thrown the league's sup port to "him. The reply of Nugent clearly shows that the league's sup port is accepted and appreciated. In his letter to Samuels, Nugent said he had endeavored to serve his constitu ents to the .best of his ability while in the senate and that his acts had been satisfactory was gratifying to him. Agreement or Deal Denied. Nugent's supporters assert that he would be unwise indeed to decline to accept the support of any organiza tion in appreciation of his work in the senate. They declare Samuels' action was voluntary and that the league is going to support Nugent because of his record in the senate. They deny any agreement or deal was made, declaring that Samuels with drew in conformity with a resolution passed by a joint state convention of the league and organized labor held at Boise August 3. the resolution asking that if Nugent was nominated - the democratic state convention WOLFF WILL NOT HANG SENTENCE COMMUTED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT. Governor Stephens Acts on Report of Physicians,, Who Say Prisoner Mentally Is Only a Boy. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 16. The sentence of death imposed on Roy Wolff, aged 17, for the murder of El mer Greer in Kern county was com muted today by Governor William D. Stephens to life imprisonment. Wolff was under sentence to be hanged at San Quentin prison October 22. His home is Takima, Wash. Commutation was made, a statement from the governor's office said, upon recommendation of the state advi sory pardon board. The report of this board, submitted to the governor, quoted the testimony of a group of physicians called to examine Wolff that his mentality was that of a. child between 11 and 12 years of age. . A deluge of letters and telegrams had ' come to the governor's office from all parts of the state and nation asking executive -clemency on account of Wolff's youth. CHAUFFEUR WOLFF'S VICTIM EJmer E. Greer, Hired to Go to Wedding, Goes to Death. BAKERSFIELD. Cal.,' Oct. 16. Roy Wolff was convicted here last Sep tember of the murder of Elmer E. Greer, automobile driver of Taft, Cal., May 26, 1919. Police said Wolff con fessed to the murder shortly after his arrest. Wolff killed Greer while riding as a passenger in his automobile, ac cording to the testimony at the trial. He employed Greer to take him from Taft into the nearby hills to attend a wedding. On the trip Greer was struck on the head by his passenger, who rode in the rear seat. Wolff then threw Greer out of the car and drove off, leaving the automobile man for dead. Greer, however, did not die in stantly, but dragged, himself to a railroad line and flagged a train, which brought him to Bakersfield. Arriving here he told of the assault, described the passenger and .said his name was Roy Wolff, a boy who had worked at Kerton, n oil. town near Taft. Greer died 'that night after undergoing an operation. The automobile, it was learned later, was driven by Wolff to Living ston, Merced county, where it was found on a street the day following the murder. Wolff left the car and went to San Francisco. .

County Causes Men to Make Tramp. EUGENE, Or.. Oct. 16. (Special.) Inconvenience of .oftentimes suffering caused by the lack of roads in the northwestern part of Lane county is illustrated in the fact that one day this week four men were compelled to carry Miss Ellen Stevens, resident of. the Ten Mile section, many, miles on a stretcher over mountain trails to reach a train so she could be- sent to Portland for treatment. Miss Stevens was taken ill and it was believed that immediate atten tion was necessary. Men of the neighborhood improvised a stretcher and four started with her over the mountains for Indian creek. Rain fell all day and the men, soaked to the skin, were nearly exhausted when they reached their destination. ARGENTINE GOLD IS GONE Country's Depositions in V. S. Ex hausted by Exchange Operations. BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 15. Argentine government, gold deposits in the United States, which at one time ap pregated more than 170,000,000, were exhausted today -when the Argentine National bank released $2,770,000 in exchange operations. Use of this gold in payment for Ar gentine imports has during the last few months checked the advance of the American dollar here, bankers say.
