Reports Have It That Big Con test Canft Be Held at Emeryville. ' (By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, May 17. With the apparent settlement of the troub lesome referee question which was reached at yesterday's conference by selection of promoter Tex Rlckard to preside at the Jeffries-Johnson battle on July 4, the sporting fraternity barely had time to draw a breath of relief before ominous rumors of trouble at Emeryville, tho proposed scene of the contest, plunged them into further apprehension. A widely circulated report that tho promoters had been warned that tho authorities may not permit the contest to be hold in Emeryville proved founded on, something else than gossip. District Atorney William Donahue admits that ho is preparing an opinion on the law covering the right to hold the light and Sheriff Frank Barnet stated that ho was awaiting the ver dict of Donahue. It is also reported ;that Thomas H. Williams, president jof the. New California Jockey Club, I and who controls the Emeryvillo race I track where it was proposed to build the mammoth arena for the ring bat tle has withdrawn his support and informed Rlckard that ho must seek another location. Williams - yould neither affirm or deny tho story. An other report is to the effec: that Rlckard and Gleason are negotiating with the people of Richmond, tho scene of the recent battle between Battling Nelsdn and Ad. Wolgast to hold the contest there. The belief is growing also that San Francisco may be the scene of tho championship battle and Nevada where several championship battles have been per mitted Is also mentioned as in tno running for the Fourth of July con test. The choice of Rlckard as roforeo is construed by the majority of tho fans as merely a tentative selection or "stall' to give the fighters an op portunity to get together on some ono else. While nono of the Alameda officials say positively that they will try to stop tho Jelfries-Johnson fight and neither Rlckard or Gleason will ad mit having changed their plans, thoro is a well-grounded belief in sporting circles that the figlit will not bo held on, Uio Emeryvillo race course. It Is pointed out that a tremondous amount of money is already involved in tho figlit which deter promoters from taking chances of even an at tempt at interference. Gleason and Rlckard and others Interested wero in conferenco all forenoon but decline to give out any statement beyond Ricknrds terse assertion "The fight will bo held in California." Tex Rlckaid Talks. Tfx nicknrd said today that no ac tion has been aken or contemplated by tho fight promoters to iransier the fight from Emeryville. Ho de clared as long as the affair did not vlolnto and law ho was confident tho officials could not succeed in inter fering, but that If tho promoters be came convinced such interference was contemplated stops would bo tak en to change the site. Rlckard de clared Williams nssurred Mm that no under no circumstances would cancel tho lease of tho track held by tho promoters for July 4. MRS. O. F.
