A re volt has broken out In the Independence League, and the political ambitions of William Randolph Hearst are threatened with destruction by his own followers. The Buffalo deal with Murphy, which was completed by the action of the Tam many County Convention last night, is at the bottom of it. The county committee of the Independ ence league met late tonight and passed resolutions utterly repudiating the Murphy-Hearst Judiciary ticket, called up Max Ihmsen, Hearst's political director, on the telephone and told him to com municate its action to Mr. Hearst; ap pointed -a committee of five to place an entirely independent judiciary ticket in the field and then adjourned. Out With Their Machetes. Hearst left the city for another tour of the country districts this morning, per sonally satisfied with the arrangement that had been made as to the local ticket, and determined, as far as he was con cerned, not to make any Independent nominations to combat the Murphy ju dicial ticket. Until practically this min ute Hearst has been the Independence League. His wishes and commands have ruled absolutely. Now the Independence league is a miniature Cuba. Ti e mal contents are out wOTi" their machetes. Serious Bolt in Brooklyn. After the Brooklyn Democratic Club had decided by a vote of '21 to 16 to Indorse the platform or the Buffalo convention and to pledge its support to the candi dates on the Democratic ticket, Ave mem bers of the governing committee presented their resignations, giving as their reasons that they would not have their names connected with that of W. R. Hearst. Many members like Edward M. Shepard, J. Edward Swanstrom, Henry Hentz and A. Augustus Healy. who had publicly de clared their opposition to Hearst, were not present. Hearst's Hebrew Organ. Hearst hns decided to start a new He brew paper In this city to preach his doc trines among the Hebrew voters. All the Hebrew papers now published here are supporting the candidacy of Hughes, and Hearst wants an organ. It Is announced that the new paper, which is to be a dally, will he called the Jewish American, and that it will be Incorporated. No Hearst Money Bet. While the election betting in Wall street is decidedly quiet, there still are some brokers who would like to get money down. Owing to the disinclination to do business In election gambling, the odds have lengthened. A. Sartorius, of Broad street.-offers to bet $10,000 to $10(0. or any part of it in $1000 lots, that Hughes will be the next Governor. He could find no takers among the Hearst men. FHIF.XD OF VXIOX LABOR MEN Hearst Answers McDonald's Attack. Ills Attitude on Judges. CORXIXG. N. Y.. Oct. ll.-After a jourm-v of nearly ten hours across the boundaries of three state. W. R. Hearst and his campaign party arrived In Corn ing tills evening and began In earnest his fourth up-state trip, which Is sched uled to last ten days. Most of the Jour ney across Pennsylvania was through a driving snowstorm, and Hearst's re-entry upon the soil of New York State was upon a wintry scene of snow-clatl hills and roads. Hearst issued on the train a state ment regarding the attitude of the In dependence League on the Subject of non-partisan judiciary nominations In New York City, declaring that the action of the league In the matter would de pend largely upon the character of the nominations made tonight by the Re publican County convention. In the course of hLs remarks Hearst referred to John B. McDonald's pub lished announcement that he would sup port Hughes In spite of having been a lifelong Democrat. He said: "Another guarantee of Mr. Hughes sin cerity Is John B. McDonald. He Is the man who built the Xew York subway at great profit and had a succession of strikes and labor difficulties from the time he began It until it ended. Mr. McDonald declares for Mr. Hughes and flourishes the check In support of Mr. Hughes and says he Is against me be cause I am not an enemy of union labor." Hearst cited his own conduct of the San Francisco Examiner, every depart ment of which, he says, was unionized, and when, five years ago, an effort was made to destroy unionism In San Fran cisco, every advertiser left the paper as a protest against the paper's action. But." aid Hearst, "we won the fight and the union labor Mayor electea at that time has been re-elected twice since and has served Ave years." NO CLASS FEKLIXG FOR HUGHES Anti-Hearst Candidate Deprecates Opponent's Appeal to Passion. CANANDAIGUA, X. Y., Oct. 1J. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican nominee for Governor,, spent today in Ontario County. At Geneva the arrival of the Hughes train was marked by the booming of cannon and the play ing of bands. From there he came to Cananilaigua. Among other things he said were: 'I do not like to hear talk in this country about classes, and the people will not long- stand any attempt to create class feeling. 'We want tio assertion of superior ity;, we want no suggestion of the 'I am holier than thou' sort. "I take no stock in the notion that there is a so-called better class, with superior morality, with better exam ples of virtuous living. "Nothing is more reprehensible in the United ' States than an appeal to passion. "We have heard, in financial circles, of a system. We have seen evidences In the last year nf men holding honor able places yielding to temptation be cause their sense of responsibility was benumbed. We want an assertion of American manhood. "Not' since the Civil War has there been such an issue aB now; never be fore, that I know of, has there been an attempt, through newspapers estab lished in different communities in the I'nlted States, to fecus the whole at tention of the country upon alleged wrongs and create discontent, envy and hatred, and arouse the worst pas sions of the multitude. That is the menace to this country, and there Is the menace we propose to deal with on election clay." CONTENTS TODAY'S PAPER The Weather. YEPTRRDAT'S Maximum temperature. 53 decrees; minimum. 54.

BUYING ENGLISH ESTATES Terrorism Drives Wealthy From Bloodstained Kin pi re to Haven of Kefuge Czar's Relatives Are Among the Fugitives. LONDON", Oct. 11. (Special.) For some time past statements have been made with more or less authority to the effect that some members of the Czar's family were making secret ar rangements to leave Russia, should certain eventualities occur, .and take refuge in England. These statements have been regarded as part of the in evitable rumors to be expected to arise from the state of affairs in the Musco vite dominions. Investigations by the Publishers' Press correspondent, how ever, reveal circumstances which point to their truth. Rich Pour Into London. Recently there has been a constant ly increasing stream of wealthy Rus dians to Kngrland. They have quietly transferred their valuables and prop erty to this country and at the right moment left St. Petersburg for Lon don. An official of the United Ship ping Company confirmed the news. "We are still bringing over hun dreds of the poorer refugees every week from Russia." he said, "but the rich noblemen and gentlemen are also booking passage now. They are com ing to London with the intention of settling here, and many of them have arrived in the last few weeks." t No passage lias ' been booked by members ot the Imperial family, so far as' the company Is aware, although this might be done without knowledge, as it is more than likely that tlje Grand Iukes and Grand Duchesses and their children would travel under assumed names. Treasures of Royalty Shipped. Large quantities of Jewels, pictures and furniture have arrived in this country from the lui'rial palaces in Russia just lately. and have been placed In safe storage. A leading banker told the Publishers' Press cor respondent that consignments of prop erty of enormous value had recently arrived there from Russia. "Wo have received packets of jewels, costly furniture and numbers of pic tures, the value of each of which runs well Into five figures," he said. "The owners are very highly placed." Buying Knglith Estates. The question put point blank as to whether they belonged to the Roman offs, the reply was made that it was against the rules to give such informa tion. A confirmation of the assertion that at least two of the Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses intend to give the I PUZZLE PICTURE: MEANWHILE, WHERE'S THE TIGER ? j !

Further expulsions from the Zemstvos of the members of the outlawed Parliament who signed the Viborg manifesto are reported clMly.

The disfavor shown by Premier Stolypln to the reactionary leagues and other black hundred organizations has pro voked a storm of hostility in the reac tionary camp. The organ of the reaction ists today printed an article heaclad "Rev olutionists in High Places." assailing the cabinet for Its alleged ftreachvry and demanding the indictment of Licutenant General Rodlger. Chief of the Chancel lory of the war office; Vlce-Admlral Biri leff, minister of Marine: Minister of Jus tice Chtcheglovltkoff; Governor-General of Finland, Erhard ami G- neral G;vgo rieff. prefect of Odessa, for favoring the Jews, and the central bureau has tele graphed demands to various governors and the police to cease interference with the "patriot organizations." The recent seizures of bombs, ex plosives and arms in the city hall and technical institute are officially stated to have been connected with a reactionary "patriotic" organization. Attacks on the police similar to those which have occurred at Warsaw have been commenced in St. Petersburg, but are less successful, owing to the indif ferent attitude of the population. One policeman was killed and one wounded. Denounce Stolypin and His AVorks. HELSINGFORS. Oct. 11 The Consti tutional Democratic Congress adjourned this evening. At the concluding session a pronouncement denouncing Premier Stolypin's administration and all its works, which was proposed by the cen tral committee in an endeavor to placate, the extremists, was adopted by acclama tion amid great enthusiasm. Witte's Life Is Threatened. ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 11. (Special.) Numerous letters "written by Terrorists, threatening the life of ex-Premier Witte, if he returns to Russia, are published here. In some circles this is taken to indicate the failure of the Count to re turn to his native land from travels upon the Continent. DOUGLAS READYTO RUiJ FOP, GOVERNOR J. B. Moran May With draw From Race. EX-GOVERNOR TO FILL VACANCY Shoe Manufacturer Would En ter the Race Unwillingly. IS STILL iN POLITICS Douglas Promises to Make Contest, If at All, on Platform of Tar iff Revision Is Strong in Home State. Ex-Governor W. L. Douglas, of Brock ton, Mass., the wealthy shoe manufact urer, wno Is now a guest at the Hotel Portland, may be drawn into the Guber natorial race in his .home state. He has received word that the Democratic nomi nee, John B. Moran. the noted District Attorney of Boston, has decided to with draw and that party leaders are urging his nome as a successor. Ex-Governor Douglas stands ready to succeed the pres ent candidate as nominee if he is satis fled that the cause of his party demands his acceptance. The state election in Massachusetts will be held next month. Mr. Douglas, accompanied by his wife, arrived in Portland Sunday on a pleasure tour of the West. Since he has been here he has received a telegram from one ot his trusted friends that Moran, who Is the regular Democratic nominee, has decided to decline the nomination. Mr. Douglas yesterday as much as said that he would accept the mantle If It falls from the shoulders of Moran. If Mr. Douglas is "drawn Into the race, the tariff question will be the magnet to effect his return and active participation In Massachusstts politics. He was elect ed Governor of his state in 1904 and his term expired one year later. Every pos sible influence was brought to bear to persuade him to try for the election the second time, which was practically as sured, but he was firm in his determina tion to quit political life. But now he may go back. Douglas a Stanch Democrat. The fact that he is a Democrat, with Massachusetts overwhelmingly Republi can, and that he ran during the Presi dential year when the Roosevelt boom carried many weak Republican candidates to victory, did not prevent Mr. Douglas being elected the Oilef Executive of his state. There is a normal Republican ma jority of from 50.000 to 60.000 votes in Massachusetts out of a total vote of about 500,000. ' Mr. Douglas was elected by a plurality of 3.1, 000 votes, and was the only Democrat on the state ticket for that year who was successful. Roosevelt car ried the state by a plurality of 92,000. During the campaign of 1903,. In which Mr. Douglas refused to be a candidate, Charles W. Bartlett was the nominee on the Democratic ticket as soon as Doug las had left the arena the Republicans experienced but little trouble in regain ing their lost ground and elected their candidate, Curtis Guild, Jr., with a cred itable plurality. Governor Guild Is run ning for a second term and 'is the man Mr. Douglas will be pitted against If he enters the contest. Ex-Governor Douglas did not care to say much about the new complexion of Massachusetts state politics when seen yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Port land. He admitted that he had received a telegram stating that Moran would resign and that It might be he would be forced to take part In the contest. He said that to accept the nomination would be making a sacrifice, as he had Intended to remain away on a pleasure tour for some time, as he badly needed rest. But, he said, if Moran resigned and he was persuaded to take up the fight where he drops it that he would have to return home immediately. The only reason ho can give why Moran may withdraw from the race Is that he Is not as strong an advocate for tariff revielon as might be desired by some of the party leaders. 'Does Xot Care for Politics. "I do not care for the nomination, but I might accept It under some clrcum- COMMANDS DIVISION OF MA RINES ANI BLUEJACKETS ASHORE IN CUBA.

"If I thought that to keep the tariff question to the fr it in my state it was necessary for me to enter the race it is probable that I would tako the nomination, provided it Is offered to me. If the people insist I will probably yield to their wishes. "Tariff revisiun Is the great, live ques tion before the people of Massachusetts, and we, as Democrats of that state, can not afford to permit the movement to lose impetus. Tariff was thf Issue when I "w:i" elected Governor and it won me many votes. That year I received no less than r.0,000 votes from Republicans who believed In tariff revision. And if I should run again It is probable that I will re ceive their votes again. "To tell the truth. I know little of the political conditions In Massachusetts. I left there early in September, before the Democratic state convention was held, ard know little outside of what I have read in the newspapers. There is every reason for me to believe that the Infor mation that Moran will resign is authen tic. It came from an absolutely reliable source and the man who sent me word should know Just what is going to take place. . Moran Xot Right on Tariff. "I do not know very much about Moran. He was not generally known throughout the state until he became District Attor ney at Boston, and since he has been In that office he has made a name for him self. But he is not one of the tariff revision leaders of the state, and at this time this Is the all-vital question before the people of Massachusetts. Of course, we cannot do anything ourselves except to make an Impression upon the National administration. Of the possible candi dates who may succeed Moran If he with draws Is Henry M. Whitney, who so nar rowly escaped being elected Lieutenan Governor at the last election. He might stand a good show of leading his party to success." Sforan Another Jerome. John B. Moran. District Attorney of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, who. It is reported, will withdraw as a candidate for Governor, Ia a type of the reform Dis trict Attorney. He has sometimes been called the Jerome of Boston. He con ducted an independent campaign for the oflice he now holds, and before he an nounced himself as a candidate for the District Attorneyship he was almost un known to the public. He conducted a whirlwind campaign and achieved one of the greatest political victories In the his tory of the state, considering the uphill fight he had to make. His tenure In office has resulted In a long list of Investigations and Indict ments. Prominent hotels have been closed for violation of the statute against screened windows in places de voted to the sale of intoxicating liquors, have given up their licenses and been compelled to obtain new one.s: there have been marked changes in police adminis tration; a general cleaning up of crim inally conducted, eo-called medical estab lishments: legislative Investigation that summoned nearly the whole House of Representatives and led to investigations by the legislature itself that resulted in the indictment of one member. Prison conditions have been Investigated and a keeper Indicted for negligence. The sec retary of a L nlted States Congressman has been convicted of larcenv of cam paign funds. Contractors doing work for the city have been indicted for using poor material. The so-called "free press graft" in the Legislature Is under inves tigation.

Pittsburg: society got another shock this morning when It was announced that Miss XelMo Scott, one of the prettiest young ladles of the Kast Knd, had been married to Frederick C. Fairbanks, s-m of the Vice-President of the United States. It was not so much the fact of the marriage that startled, as the fact that it was an elopement. The couple fled from Pittsburg last evening to Steubenville, O., and were mar ried by Rev. Dr. Krodie, of that place. The first intimation of the elopement came this morning, and was as follows: "Steubcnville. O., Oct. 11. Mrs. James Scott, Pittsburg: Frederick and J were married here yesterday. NEIjLIE.'

She Is a graduate cf Miss Somers school In Wash ington, I. C.p as well as sumo of the schools of the Eastern Coast. It Is uudrsto k'. t'nt JJr. '-U.'banUs ob jected to his si ill's marrying Miss Scott, but this cannot be verified here, as all members of ihe Scott family deny it. Young Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks are said to be in Pittsburg tonight at the home of the ScottH, but, if so, the Scott family will not uncover them, saying the day has brought enough sensations. How They Worked Scheme. Fred ( Fairbanks, who is 2" years of age, came to Pittsburg two days ago and registered at the Schenlry Hotel, where he made all arrangements for the elope ment. This the young couple seemed to think necessary, since the parents of Miss Scott, hearing rumors of objection on the part of Mr. Fairbanks, also had set their foot down on any further intercourse be tween the two young people. Fred and Nellie, however, managed to meet, and the plans were looked over and mutually approved. All this time th Scotts did not know that young Fairbanks was In town. Yesterday afternoon Miss Scott an nounced that she was going to the home of a schoolmate In Ohio for a few days and she left on an afternoon train for Ohio. In the smoker of the same train, as it pulled out of the Pittsburg depot, was Fred Fairbanks, but he did not re main in th smoker sifter the train pas.-ed out of the sheds and out of rango of prying eye.s.
