THREE TICKETS IN FIELD Demand for Surrender of Party Or ganization Rejected by Demo crats Hearst Committee Summons Him to Bun. NEW YORK. July 31.(Speclal.)-'W. R. Hearst's demand for the surrender of the Democratic organization of the state to his candidacy for Governor has. been re jected by the Democratic State Commit tee by a vote of more than four to one. Realizing the failure of his campaign for the Democratic nomination. Mr. Hearst took the Held as an Independent candidate today and will tight the regular Democratic ticket. There will be two Democratic state tickets In the field, as suming that Mt. Hearst may be classed as a Democrat. The Republican leaders were greatly pleased with this result, and they made the prediction that the nomination of Mr. Hearst would insure the return of the Republicans to power at the next election. Hearst Committee Cuts Loose. Realizing that their effort to capture the Democratic State Committee was hopeless, the Hearst lieutenants from va rious parts of the state, who had been called together In the Hearst headquar ters in the Gllsey House, made haste to cut loose from all connection with the reg ular Democracy. Max V. Ihmsen, who lor several years has been in the employ of Mr. Hearst as his campaign manager and in other capacities, nominated a state committee and hud himself elected chair man of It. Judge Samuel Seabury, of the I'lty Court was the temporary chairman of the meeting, which assembled In a small ballroom in the Gilsey House, where it sweltered through four hours of speeches, which were mainly devoted to the popularity of Mr. Hearst. Mr. Ihm sen took the chair after he had been elected and conducted the proceedings, which had been arranged In the most minute details a week before the commit tee was called. Culled by "The Plain People." The meeting practically nominated Mr. Hearst by ordering the following message sent to him In San Francisco: Ths people of the 8tata of New York, rep resented tn the state committee of the In dependence League, appreciate your great service to the cause of "the plain people" and your splendid efforts to compel the crim inal trusts to obey the law, and recognise in you a leader under whom the control of their Government must be restored to the people. To thU end we pledge you our earnest and loyal support and Insist that you shall serve the people as the candidate for Governor In the coming contest. By way of adding solemnity to the oc casion, this telegram waa approved by a rising vote of the meeting. WHOLE GARRISON REVOLTS (Continued from First Page.) about means of telephoning: to Viborg and telegraphing from there to St. Pe tersburg. This entails a delay of several hours. Rebels Capture Artillery. The military received a telegram from Helsingfors this morning from Major-General Laimlng announcing that the fortresses and artillery had opened fire on Commander Island. The Insurgents seized the artillery, all the machine guns and took possession of one of the islands. Some of the tele graph wires have been out. Major-General Laimlng announced he was on Commander Island with four companies of the garrison and two companies of sharpshooters sent from Helsingfors. He dqfs not give the number of casual ties. Premier Stolypln has also received frequent messages concerning the mu tiny. He told a caller that the situation was critical to an extreme degree. Al most the entire fortress is-In the hands of the Insurgents and there were com paratively few loyal troops In Helsing fors. The entire disloyal population is led by the "Red Guard." REBELS MAY WIN SKATCDEX Position Favors Them and Rein forcements Are Cut Off. HELSINGFORS, July 31. Armed civil ians ana sailors began rioting at Skatu den this morning. Troops were hastily summoned and isolated Sloatuden from the rest. The buildings where the riot ers had barricaded themselves were then fired upon by four cruisers. Rapid-fire guns were also turned on them. At 5 o'clock this afternoon troops entered Ska- tuaen ana aisarmea me insurgents. All day long a small steamer has been transporting the families to town. Women and children were In an utterly pitiable condition. Sveaborg. at the time of filing this dispatch, is quiet. The Intentions of the rebels are not known. The position on Skatuden Island Is in favor of the muti neers, who commanded the entire island until 8 P. M. At this hour the sailors were yielding. Many of them were de serting. They were dressed in civilian clothes. The destroyers In the roadstead also are quiet. The Cossacks and the loyal Infantrymen are posted all over town. Without reinforcements the au thorities can do nothing. Captain Koch, an ex-officer of the army and a Socialist, who was leader of the November strikes, stopped the St. Peters burg express yesterday morning. He was supported by revolutionists. Koch was Joined by the Rihloakl "red guard," num bering 85 men. At 10 o'clock the entire party went to Hikla station and was tearing up the track, thus cutting off the approach of Intended reinforcements reported to be coming from Willman strand and Viborg. The town has been relatively quiet. Many shops did not close before the usual time. Stray bullets later put a stop to traffic on the water. A girl was mortally wounded. A further cause of the revolt Is said to be the fact that It was the anniver sary of a mining disaster caused by the reckless officers, in which a dozen men lost their lives. The Viborg manifesto of the outlawed Parliament has been distributed among the Cossacks, who quietly put It In their pockets. Numerous RuBSlan revolutionists iave Suddenly became visible in town. The cruiser squadron. Including the battle ship Slava, Is reported to have sailed from Reval yesterday afternoon. The telegraph building at Sveaborg te reported in ruins. The barracks and the cathedral are badly damaged as a re sult of the shells from 11-lneh guns. The number of killed or wounded probably Is over-estimated. The revolutionists are expectant, but the townspeople fear a bombbardment, should the squadron arrive. CALL ON RED GUARD TO FIGHT Revolutionists Demand Civil, ans Go to Help Soldiers. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1. The fol lowing dispatch has just been received direct from Helsingfors. It Is dated July 31, 2 P.

They demanded that the Socialist Red Guard mobilize and Join a movement to relieve the thousand marines who are held within a cordon In Skatuden Barracks by the loyal troops. The chiefs of the Red Guard are undecided whether to commence an armed upris ing or not, as many of the population are completely out of sympathy with such a movement. "The authorities apparently are par alyzed by the suddenness of the revolt. They were quite In Ignorance a to which troops could be depend upon. "Two officers were killed at Ska tuden by marines this morning before a large crowd of civilian sympathiz ers." DRIVE OUT FOREIGN WORK3IEN.

Chldester, of Evergreen Park. 14 miles southwest of Chicago. She wanted to catch a Grand Trunk train at the Halsted and Forty-ninth street sta tion. The conductor and several men pas sensers finally overpowered her. but she convinced the police that she was not in sane and was released. B0IYF0R01 President Prepares Republican Bill of Fare. DICK SAYS ALL LIKE IT Predicts Indorsement of Administra tion and Standpat Platform. Revision in 190 7 Would Mean Defeat in 1008. OTSTER BAT, July 31. Senator Charles Dick, of Ohio, and Elmer Dover, secre tary of the RepuBlican national commit tee, made a Joint pilgrimage to Saga more Hill today. President Roosevelt discussed with them for two hours the political "situation in Ohio. Aside frem the advantage of the dslcussion, the sim ple fact that Mr. Dick waa a guest at Sagamore Hill and came away bearing the President's expression of enthusias tic ' desire for harmony and success in the coming Congressional campaign Is re garded ag a political occurrence which will ,have decided weight in the Repub lican situation In Ohio. It has been said in Ohio that Senators Foraker and Dick do not stand for the Roosevelt ad ministration and this report bade fair to cause at least a degree of trouble. It has now been "nailed to the mast," If these words from Senator Dick have meaning: . Ohio Will Indorse Roosevelt. "It Is safe to make one prediction, that President Roosevelt's administration and the work of Congress will receive sin cere and enthusiastic endorsement In the Ohio Republican platform." Mr. Dick has for many years made the first draft of the state platform and this was one of the particular topics of his talk with the President today. Besides the strong endorsement of the President, with whom the Ohio platform Is to be featured, there Is to be a "stand pat" declaration regarding the tariff. Mr. Dick expressed himself freely on this point. He remarked: Revision Bad Politics Now. It -would be practically Impossible for the Sixtieth Congress to revise the tariff. Besides it would be decidedly bad polltloal sense. There has never been an exception to the occurrence that when a political party in con trol of Congress undertook to revise the tariff two years preceding a. national election It failed to elect Its candidates in that election. The present tariff law. known as the Dinglry law, has produced In this country unparalleled prosperity. We must at the proper time, however, recog nize and deal with the sentiment which de mands a revision of certain schedule. The Republican policy has always been and the expressions of the leading advocates of the protective tariff idea. Including McKlnlev. Its greatest champion, have been for prudent re vision, when needed, of such a tariff schedule as shall take account of changing condition sooner or later. Learned Need of Harmony. Mr. Dick then gave his reasons for saying that the Republican political out look in Ohio at the present moment Is decidedly better than it was a year ago. Herrick, he said, was defeated for re election as Governor largely if not en tirely on the temperance question. This question is not now a factor. Tho defeat of Herrick had a salutary effect on Ohio Republicans. It had undoutedly brought them to a realization that they could not be split up by dissensions and win j at election time.

Mileage Books 2 Cents. PHILADELPHIA. July 31. Impor tant changes In passenger rates were announced today by Fourth Vice-President John B. Thayer, of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, after a meeting of the board of directors. Th company has decided to reduce the maximum one way fares from 3H and S cents to 2M cents a mile. This action will Involve a r'eadjustmenc of all through fares from the South, and, owing to the vast amount of work entailed by reason of the change, the new rate will not be come operative for some time, probably November 1. It is assumed that the connecting lines which reach New York by way of Cincinnati and Louisville will meet the Pennsylvania Railroad's reduction by a readjustment of fares, so that all Southern passenger traffic, whether by way of Washington, Cincinnati or Louisville, will be on an equal basis. The company will also on September 1 place on sale 1000-mile tickets, valid only on Its lines east of Pittsburg and Erie, at the flat price of $20. These mileage tickets will be transferable. No change is to be made in the price of the interchangeable mileage tickets now sold by the company, which are not transferable, and upon which a de posit of $10 above the regular price is required. It Is estimated that 50.030 interchangeable mileage books are presented daily on the various reads, and of this number 65 per cent are used on the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Concerning the reduction In one-way fares, the company's announcement, made through Vice-President Thayer, says: This reduction of fares has been the sub ject of serious consideration for a year past. The company has expended larsre sum to build relief lines upon which freight trains should be moved, that this class of traffic might be diverted from the present main lines, and thus secure less liability to delay to the com pny'a largely Increased passenger service.
