Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America, who con trols 23 of the 60 Socialist votes in the American Federation of Labor, in session here, Is being given credit tt-J day for the announcement by the So cialists that they will not oppose the re-election of Samuel Gomperf for the Federation presidency. Heretofore It had been stated that Lewis would support the Socialists against Qompers. His declaration to lay to the contrary Is said to have brought about the endorsement of the veteran leader by the Socialists. "No man had any right to expect ' any such support from me," said Lewis. "I am free and not bound to any clique or clan or individual. If the Socialists nominate, a .man who Is capable and willing to succeed Gompers, I might- support him, but that would depend entirely on what I thought of the man's personal qual We Don't Advertise Simply to have oar name look big in the newspapers.

Further than that I do not want to say anything at this time. I would want to put it In writing. "In two or three conventions there have been certain clans depending on my support of their candidates, bas ing their campaign on my sanction. They heard from me when the propo sitions came up for final settlement." Lewis added that he was interest ed in getting an American Federa tion charter for the Western Federa tion of Miners, and that be was Jn favor of granting such charters. A fight on the floor of the conven tion is expected when the .proposed amalgamation of the United Brother hood of Carpenters and Joiners of America with the Amalgamated So ciety of Carpenters and Joiners Is brought up for discussion.

('KITED FRKHS ItMtK Willi!, 1 London, Nov. 1 7 j The personal efforts of King George to avert a political crisis failed today, and the liberals have presented an ultima tum to the house of lords that unless they consent before November 28 to pass a bill limiting the lords' power of veto, parliament will be dissolved and a general election held. The king believes that the crisis threatens the entire system of Eng lish government and is endeavoring to effect a compromise. Premier As- quith has refused all offers of com promise, being confident that his po sition is unassailable. It is -believed that the lords are awakening to the crisis, and may sur render at least 'part of their rights voluntarily, in order to save the gov ernment. This Is Judged from the declaration of Lord Lanadowne today that the lords were willing to con cede the abolition of the hereditary principle -and the fuller representa tion of certain elements in the peer age. Th,e liberals do not place great re liance in the tardy promises of the lords, and are still Inclined to enforce their ultimatum. THE JURY ACQUITTED MR. MURRAY DI KKMUNT KIIOWS THIS NIXJ.
