TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1903. HUGHES IS CALLED ROOSEVELT'S MAN Parsons Stands Firm for Great Inquisitor for Governor. WOODRUFF UP-STATE MAN Republicans Spend Night In Trying to Find Man to Beat Hearst, After Formally Opening Convention. SARATOGA, N. T.. Sept. 23. Any body's prophecy may turn out to be true regarding the nomination for Governor to be made tomorrow by the Republi can Ktnt. Convention. It 1b bv no means impossible that tha convention rory"T1; take another recess till later in the day or even until Thursday. At mid night tho situation was, If possible, mora uncertain than ever, in spite of a practically continuous series of confer ences by the leaders since o'clock in the afternoon. The one apparent certainty was that Herbert Parsons, the leader of the New York county forces and from the begin ning sponsor of the Hughes candidacy, was standing and "would continue to stand fast for his man. Against him were arrayed practically all of the up state leaders. The Indications for the moment were that the ' up-etata strength would be concentrated upon ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor Timothy L. Woodruff, of Kings County. This proposition was the sub ject of a conference which began about then and was the first sign of a break ;ln the confidence of the so-called Hig gins forces. Hints Hughes Is Koosevelt's Mali, "Tho name of Hughes will be pre sented to the convention. Tou can bank on that," was the emphatic retort of Senator Page, Parsons' lieutenant. 'At midnight this statement was con firmed by Parsons himself in the same words. He was closely questioned by a group of correspondents as to the de gree to which his attitude represented the views of President Roosevelt. "I will repeat my question of today," lie said: "Have you any doubt where the President stands In this matter" - "Do you believe the President desires the nomination of Mr. Hughes?" He was asked. "I believe the President desires the nomination of the strongest man." "And do you think Mr. Hughes Is the strongest man?" "I do but you must not Jump too faBt to a conclusion from that statement." The rumors that the National Adminis tration wss taking active Interest In the convention waa given some Impetus by the presence here today of Assistant Sec retary James B. Reynolds, of the Treas ury Department, who, however, denied that he was here for any special pur pose. The position of the leaders cannot be accurately stated save for the fact that a large proportion of them favor Lieutenant-Governor Bruce and that Herbert Parsons Is almost alone In his advocacy of Hughes. Black Positively Declines. An Indication of the doubt In which the situation remains is the fact that no sneakers have yet been selected to place candidates In nomination, but as matters stood this evening it would seem that the nomination for Governor is still between Bruce and Hughes. There were repeated revivals during tha day of the talk about Frank S. Black, and several attempts were made to ar range a programme to secure his nomina tion. Black from the first discouraged the use of his name and made his declina tion so positive that few of the up-state . leaders believe he Is really a possibility. EPISODES MAKE IT AMUSING Hearst Boomer Interrupts Conven tion Race Issue Interjected. SARATOGA, N. , Y Sept. 25. The first session of the Republican State Conven tion lasted an hour and a half and was harmonious and comparatively unevent ful. Two episodes, however, occasioned Borne comment and amusement. One was a brief passage between State Chairman Odell, presiding, and Representative Her bert Parsons, heading the New York County delegation, and the other was the Interruption of Temporary Chairman Dris coll's attack upon William R. Hearst by a young man sianaing Derore the front row of delegates, who exclaimed that Hearst had "sacrificed all." This was hardly noticed, but he repeated in a loud voice that Hearst had "sacrificed $15,000, 000." Tho delegates were indignant and the man was ejected. Still another Incident out of the ordi nary was the adoption of a resolution deploring race hatred and mob law "at home or abroad." The resolution attract ed the more attention because It was pre sented by a colored delegate, Charles W. Anderson, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue. Anderson asked unanimous con sent to the reception of the resolution. By then the delegates had come to real ize that the resolution applied not only to lynching and mob violence affecting the negro race, represented by Anderson, but also to the anti-Jewish rioting in Russia, and there was a clamor for Its reception. Chairman Odell put the ques tion and the resolution was carried amid cheers. Neither of the two United States Sena tors, Piatt and Depew, who have attend ed every Republican state convention for a generation, was present today. Odell called the convention to order at 13 :20 o'clock, and the committee on tem porary organisation submitted Its report, naming Representative M. E. Driscoll, of Syracuse, for temporary ohalrman. The report was adopted and Drrscoll took the chair. Hie speech was an enthusiastic tribute to the Republican party and its National and state policies and leaders. He assert ed that the Democrats themselves, as the years roll by. are "enlightened by the logio of events and admit the wisdom of nearly all the important acts of their opponents." He also declared that the majority of Democrats secretly, if not openly, admit "the general necessity of the defeat of Bryan in 1S96." "They also admit," said the speaker, "our wisdom in electing to the same exalted office that tireless worker and finished schol ar, dauntless protector of the people's rights and incomparable, executive, Theodore Roosevelt. - They say he is a good enough Democrat for them, and we answer that he Is a good enough Re publican for us." He dwelt at some length upon the recent acts of Congress, for the achievements and faults of. which he said the Republican party must bear the credit and accept the responsibil ity, since all the great measures could have been passed without assistance from the Democratic side, "and the fact that they approved and supported them indicated on their part an un usual degree of good sense and patri otism." He touched upon the punish ment of grafters, the bringing to book of powerful offenders, the situation in Cuba, and Incidentally expressed a high oplhion of Secretary Taft. Turning to state issues. Driscoll pointed out the Importance of the coming election in New York State, "In view of the certain demoralization and disaster which would follow the triumph of one of our oppos ing candidates." Ha praised Governor Higglns as a man and public official and commended bis administration through out. When Driscoll menrtonetf the name of Governor Higglns, the convention cheered heartily, but a little later, when he spoke of the administration of state affairs hav ing been "Independent of bosses," there was a roar of laughter. State Chairman Odell, whose eyes were wandering over the audience, turned quickly and looked sharply- at the speaker, but bis face showed no emotion. Driscoll's speech waa frequently Inter rupted by applause. His mention of Pres ident Roosevelt brought the convention to its feet shouting, cheering and waving hands and handkerchiefs. The cheers were dying out when the New York Coun tv delegation Jumped to Its feet and wound up the applause with three rlng- ng cheers. CRAZY MAN SCARES TOWN VETERAN OP SPANISH WAR RUNS AMUCK IN BAY CITY. Suddenly Demented, Jack Scott Holds Garage Against AH Com ers Till Police Hush Him. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25. Jack Scott, a former pugilist and ex-Spanish war volunteer, who was severely wounded in the Philippine campaign, went suddenly Insane tonight at a garage at Seventh street and Broadway, where he was em ployed as a chauffeur, and for more than an hour terrorized the neighborhood by holding up people with a rifle and a long barrelled Colt's revolver. He was at length overpowered by the police and locked up. Withx the cocked gun at his shoulder the madman held up one after another of half a dozen persons who entered the garage and cunningly prevented them from telephoning for help. He then, holding his rifle in one hand and his revolver in the other, entered the bar of the Lankershim Hotel, adjoining, and at tempted o capture that place. One of the bartenders, unarmed, knocked Scott down and threw him Into the street. The crazy man retired to the garage. A special officer, gun in hand, followed and tried to disarm him. Scott took the officer's weapon away and ran him out. Another man then tried to dispose of the wild man by running him down with an automobile, but was forced to back his machine from the garage at the point of a rifle. Finally the police arrived and forced their way through an Immense crowd that had collected and overpowered Scott, though he fought desperately. Exami nation showed that the Winchester was not loaded. TAFT AND BACON AWAY Red Cross Conference on San Fran cisco Relief Fund Is Postponed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. Because of the absence of Secretary of War Taft and Robert Bacon, Assistant Secretary of State, the meeting of the executive committee of the Red Cross, called for today, was postponed until October 17. It is the purpose of the committee to decide as socri as possible what dispo sition shall be made of the $2,500,000 San Francisco relief funds still held in Washington. As Winter is approaching, the Red Cross executive committee feels that it should be instrumental in providing homes for earthquake sufferers who are living temporarily in tents and have no means of obtaining better shelted. The Red Cross officers have advised the re lief committee that delay In the meet ing of the executive committee will in no way prevent the relief of persons who are in need of food and other ne cessities, as the Red Cross treasurer has been Instructed to supply the Cali fornia committee with money neces sary to meet the urgent demands of those in need. LOSES SIGHT OF ONE EYE Judge Morrow Is Compelled to Take a Vacation. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25. (Special.) Circuit Judge W. W. Morrow has been ordered by his physicians to give up his duties on the bench for three months. The Judge's eyes are falling amd his physicians hope in that time to restore the sight of his rtght eye, which has practically gone. A week ago the Judge suffered from a hemorrhage of the right eye, and in the last few days he has almost entirely lost his power of vision. Strain caused by overwork is given as the cause of the sudden failing of bis eyes. In case he is no better at the end of his three month's rest he will retire permanently. GIVE UP HOPE OF BEATING (Continued From Fag 1.) Thomas M. Osborne, Edward M. Shep ard and other anti-Hearst men held con ferences far into the night with Demo cratic leaders whose delegations have not yet declared for any of the candidates. Congressman Sulzer, of New York, who Is still in the race for Governor, was present for a short time at tonight's meeting of the Albany conference. The anti-Hearst men claim that, if they can make a combination with the King's County delegation, controlled by Sena tor Patrick H. McCarren, they will be able to muster 200 votes in the conven tion. It will require 226 votes to nomi nate. The selection of Nixon as temporary chairman was the first Tammany victory, and also Is regarded as a point gained for Hearst. Nixon Is close to Murphv and was sent to the convention as a dele gate irom Murphy s own district. Nixon, as temporary chairman, was devoted in the main to accusation against the Republican state administration for misuse of $101,000,000 appropriated for re construction of the state canals, and be trayal of labor,, and closed with an ap peal for harmony which he predicted would insure victory at the approaching elections, and lead to the overthrow of the Republican- domination in National a fialrs. At- a late hour tonight It was an nounced that, owing to the inability of tne committees on platform and resolu tlons and contested seats to finish the business before them, it would probably De i p. m. tomorrow before the conven tion reconvenes.

Brings Passengers and Freight. From Coastwise Ports New Berth Has Latest Appliances. The North Pacific Steamship Company's steamer Roanoke arrived at her new dock yesterday morning, bringing a full cargo of freight and ISO passengers from San Pedro, San Francisco and Eureka. Captain Dunham reports a fine voyage ap the coasts but the trip up the river was delayed on account of heavy fogs and the vessel made slow time from As toria. She left the latter place at 6 o'clock Monday " evening and did not reach Martin's dock until yesterday morning. The new dock at which the steamer lands is one of the finest in the North west and is a credit to the city. All the latest appliances for handling freight ex peditiously have been installed and others are to be added in the near future. The new dock, which is at the foot of Seventeenth street, has a frontage on the river of over 500 feet and will be fitted not only with the latest dock facilities but also all the necessary appliances com mon to the largest storage warehouses. It has a capacity for the storage of 20.000 tons. Elevators are to be built for the pur pose of handling the freight on the lower dock, which will prove an innovation among the docks of this city, which are nearly all of the old style and have had but very few Improvements added in re cent years. Agent Harry Young, of the North Pa cific Steamship Company, states that when the Roanoke sails tomorrow even ing she will carry the largest cargo to Eureka on record. The taking of the Alliance oft the run has caused the Eu reka trade to seek transportation facili ties from the other two lines calling there, and most of the freight refused bv the California & Oregon Coast Com pany b,as been turned over to the Roa noke, which is the first of the two ves sels to sail. "When the Roanoke sails to morrow evening she will take over 600 tons of freight for Eureka only, and it is not unlikely that this amount will be Increased to 1000 tons by the tim of de parture. Passenger accommodations for the pres ent outward trip are already disposed of, and when she leaves she will have 228 passengers for the coastwise ports, the majority of whom are booked for .

Half a.dosen men Jeft Eugene this morning to Join the surveying parties under charge of C. R. Rankin for the Southern Pacific Company in the Cas cades southeast of Eugene. Mr. Rankin, who has charge of the surveys for the Natron extension up to the summit of the Cascades, sent for 20 men, but only tho half dozen could be found. The Southern Paclflo Company is evi dently rushing work on this extension as fast as possible. There are about 100 men in the four crews under Mr. Ran kin, and rumors keep coming down from the scene of the surveys that con struction is to begin within a short time. The only definite statement as to construction work was made a few weeks ago in a published letter from William Hood, chief engineer of the Harrlman lines, to the effect that right-of-way men would soon be in the field, and that construction would follow the pecuKng of the right of way. Since that time R. L Edwards has come from San Francisco, and has been engaged in se curing from the owners of property af fected the- right to construct the rail roaJ. He experienced some little diffi culty at first, but is now reported to be making rapid progress. Ho was in Eu gene Saturday on his way from Sim Francisco for his second trip into the Cascades. Superintendent L. R. Fields, of the Southern Pacific, was In the city today, but he had nothing to say as to this ex tension, nor in regard to the Spring field' bridge, now nearing completion, over which trains for the Natron exten sion will pass In leaving the main line to California.
