JEROME'S HOPE IS
HELP OF MURPHY
Once Acclaimed as "Prince
Rupert of Fusion," Now
Is Drummed Out.
MURPHY TESTS STRENGTH
If ne Finds Jerome Can Get Votes,
He Will Forget Blistering Talk,
but Tammany Men Can't
Agree on Problem.
UT I.lITD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK, An. .-(SpeciaI.) Dis
trict Attorney "William Travers Jerome
bv announcing himself an Independent
candidate for re-election, haa caused a
.ertain amount of Interest, dui hi.ki.lj
t!rtlA enthusiasm.
Ve Is repeating his action of four year
aco but conditions are very different.
In 15W men foutfht for the "honor' of
Helr.ir on the list of -Jerome nnnuiiuwi.
and the Republican leaders who prevent
ed hts nomination by their party were
roundly denounced. His meetings diwu
with enthusiasm, and his cause was cham
pioned bv men of all classes and all po
litical beliefs. Everywhere he went he
wa-s hailed as the foe of. the bosses, and
the man who could be relied upon to
mete out equal justice to the poor and
the rich.
This year the old enthusiasm Is lacking,
and the only question asked Is "has Je
rome made his deal with Charley Mur
nhv nr is he slmnly working a bluff?''
For. strange as It may seem, the only
hope of this once leader of Independents
l.es In being taken up or tne organize
tlon he has for years been bitterly at
tacking.
Only Hope Is In Tammany.
It was Edward M. Shepard who gave
Jerome his pooular nickname. He called
him the "Prince Rupert of the fusion
cause." and the title stuck for some time.
Hut the "Prince" Is now a lonely flguro
In politics, and Is willing to drop his
fitle to accept the command of a regiment
under Marshal Murphy.
Shrewd observers say that If Jerome
carries out his expressed determination
and runs as an Independent, he will be
lurky to poll 1.u votes. The Republicans
will positively have nothing to do with
him: his old friends in the citizens'
I'nlon regard him as a backslider; the
Committee of One Hundred, particularly
flie labor men. are openly hostile. His
only chance Is to impress Tammany Hall
with his sterling ability as a vote pettrr.
The man who will decide that question
Is Charles F. Murphy. Jerome has called
Murphy "an Ignorant barkeeper." the
"head of a band of thieves," the "leadur
of an organization that thrives on the
degradation of women." and other cute
things like that.
But William Randolph Hearst ran a
dad heat with Jerome In the Billingsgate
stakes and even said, that Murphy
should be In cofivlct's stripes. He also
painted pictures along that line, so that
friends of the lender could see how he
would look In Sing Sing uniform.
All the same. Murphy ran Hearst for
Governor a year later, because he be
lieved It would strengthen the organiza
tion. And if conditions call for It he will
undoubtedly place Jerome on the ticket
this year, although he hates every hair
In the District Attorney's head, and
Jerome Is far from being bald.
Testlnjr Jerome's Strength.
Murphy Is more Interested In votes than
he Is In language, and he has been care
fully Investigating Jerome's strength In
all parts of Manhattan Inland.
Several district liaders have told him
that the District Attorney would add Hn
meneely to the strength of the ticket.
Others insist that not only would he be
slaughtered, but that he would imperil
his Tammany running mates. The lead
ers in this latter faction, which is quije
strong, declare they have no personal ani
mus, but that they are reporting condi
tions exactly as they find them.
All of which hatt caused Mr. Murphy to
shako his head and decline, for the pres
ent, to commit himself one way or the
ot her.
Jerome's ardent friend Inside the organ
ization is Sheriff "Tom" Foley. Foley Is
a political Jekyll and Hyde. Personally
he is charitable to a fault, his word is as
good as hl bond and he is absolutely
loyal to the men he admires. Politically,
he Is the head of the worst band of polit
ical guerillas, highbinders and ballot-box
stuffera In the world. He was Hearst'
firm ally for years, sent him to Congresw,
boomed him for President and had much
to do with bringing about his nomination
for Governor. He never got a cent for it.
never asked or expected any return, but
when he ran for Sheriff. Hearst's papers
roasted hlrn day in and day out. For
Hearst had an independence League can
didate of his own at that time.
If you ehould meet "Tom" Foley now
adays and ask him about Hearst, he will
froth at the mouth. Hut Foley was his
ardent boomer for years, and now he Is
Jerome's backer. All of which causes
certain people to draw comparisons and
si:crest that perhaps, for a second time.
"Hig Tom" haa allowed his kindly nature
to run away with his judgment. And it
does not help Jerome.
Xerwspapers'of Man; Opinion.
The newspapers, which are supposed to
have well-informed political reporters,
are all at sea regarding the present situ
ation. The Morning World says that
Jerome Is "back, d by Foley and the
Sullivans." while the Evening World,
published under the same dome, declares
that the Sullivans arc against htm.
"T wise ones m the organization."
declares the Tribune, "believe that at the
final show-down Murphy will name Gay-
nor for Mayor and Jerome for District
Attorney."
This is almost as conclusive as the
statement in the Mornin World that
"It was assorted positively yesterday by
friends of Judge Claynor that he would
never consent to run for Mayor on the
same ticket with Jerome."
The Press announces that "It Is prac
tically assured that Jerome will be nom
inated." while the Globe states "Tam
many has no Intention of naming Je
rome." and the Mall remarks, "Jerome's
statement was carefully planned and had
been submitted to many friends befors
being given out to the public." while the
Rvenlng Post declares. "It (the state
ment) came as a surprise."
The American says editorially: "Of
course he will be the Tammany candi
date," thereby acting as an antidote to
the views of the staid Brooklyn Times,
which remarks: "If Jerome expects
Tammany support, he will be griev
ously disappointed. The Tiger has no
use for hint." This Is the consensus of
opinion as painted In the dally papers.
Now here I the confidential side of
the case:
Two Tammany district leaders have
told me they believe Jerome will be
nominated, two others say he will be
turned down, and five frankly admit
that they haven't the. ia
what will happen. A Tammany Assem
blyman, who Is admittedly close tn
Murphy's confidence, says the "boss"
has no use for Jerome. An Alderman
of equally high standing Bays he has
reason to believe the organization haa
made terms with the District Attorney
and will nominate btm this Fall.
Drammed Out by Fuslonists.
The fact of the matter seems to be
that Murphy is simply "sounding sen
timent." There will probably be no
official announcement until the eve of
the primaries, perhaps not until the
delegates are. In session. Then, if Mur
phy believes Jerome wil strengthen his
ticket, the word will be sent out to
the obedient delegates.
In the meantime Jerome's name will
be on the ballot by petition as an inde
pendent, and his friends hope that this
action will remove the stigma of a
Tammany nomination.
"For you see,'" they explain, "under
the circumstances. It will only be an
Indorsement. The real nomination will
be that of the Independents."
All of which cannot hide the fact
that "Prince Rupert," he of the tire
less voice, the blistering vocabulary,
the hatred of Tammany Hall and the
famous brass checks, has been
drummed out of the fusion camp and is
now hoping for a chance to enlist
under the blag flag of Tammany Hall.
M'HARG NOT
SAYS HE
RASSED
HAS NOT
PRESIDENT
EMBAR-TAFT.
His Desire to Leave Department by
October 1 Will Xot Be Hin
dered by Anyone.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30. That Ormsby
McHarg, Assistant Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, believes his recent in
terview regarding conservation policies
ha not embarrassed President Taft or
his administration; that he Is ready to
step from office Immediately if such
should be the construction placed upon
his attitude regarding the methods of
preserving the forests, and that the views
which he has expressed are hm own with
out Teference to his official position,
seems to bo a .summary of the situation
which lias created so much discussion
since Mr. McHarg"s original interview.
Mr. McHarg said today that Secretary
Nagel knew him well enough to place
the proper construction on the sentiment
he has expressed, and to know that ho
would do nothing to embarrass either the
President or his immediate superior. Mr.
McHarg seems to consider that his pub
lished Interview does not in any way
alter the relations which have existed
since he accepted the assistant secre
taryship of the Department of Commerce
and Labor.
During the day Mr. McHarg com
municated with Secretary Nagel by
long-distance telephone at New York.
The Secretary told Mr. McHarg his
letter a week ago requesting that he be
relieved before October 1 was taken up
with the President at Beverly yester
day and that Mr. McHarg could rest
assured his desire to leave the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor by Oc
tober 1 would be respected.
Secretary Nagel said the successor to
Mr. McHarg had not been determined
upon.

ZEPPELIX AIRSHIP IS DOWN
Broken Propellor Punctures Bag and
Gas Escapes.
BUELZIG. Germany, Aug. 30. The
Zeppelin airship, which started at 11:24
o'clock last night from the Tempelhof
parade ground, on Its return voyage
to Fridrlchshafen, met with an ac
cident early today, and landed here at 7
o'clock.
The. two -forward propellers were
broken and a fragment of one of them
pierced the envelope, permitting the gas
to escape. The airship, however, was
kept up by throwing over ballast until a
favorable landing place was reached. The
Bhlp came down gently, and It now
rests in a meadow. It will take at least
two days to complete repairs. Tele
grams have been sent to Frledrichshafen
for workmen, materials and gas.

This alone proves how powerful imagina

Expect Sportsmen to Buy.
Manufacturers believe sportsmen of
every country will now begin to buy
aeroplanes, particularly as the number
of actual flights here during the week,
estimated at over 1300, were without a
single fatal accident. This demon
states that, flying is no more dangerous
than was automoblllng in Its early
stages. The cost of the different ma
chines ranges from OJOO to JoOOO.
There were wX) guests at the breakfast
and Intense enthusiasm was manifested
over the wonderful successes attained.

semblage arising again and again to
cheer them.'

ed. In the name of the club and the peo
ple of America, Mr. Bishop thanked the
committee for Its cordial reception and
treatment of the Americans and he In
vited the aviators of the world to come
to America.
"Naturally we will do our best to keep
this cup," Mr. Bishep said, "but If -you
will come If Bleriot comes as he has
promised I shall fear for the result."
The Marquis de Polignac, president of
the committee, officially announced the
result of the awards and prizes and a
series of speeches followed. They were
all Imbued with the prophecy that "avia
tion week" only marked the beginning
of the marvels that will be witnessed In
the conquest of the air. Among the
speakers were the Mayor of Rhelms, M.
Langlis and M. Loreau. president of the
mixed aerial commission. The latter
referred to the disappointment of France
at the failure to retain the International
cup, the speed trophy captured by Cur
tlss. and provoked a hearty round of ap
plause when he added:
France May Win Back Cup.
"But I appropriate for myself and all
Frenchmen the remark of Bleriot when
he learned that France had been defeat
ed. This was: 'I will go to American and
win it back.' "
The Marquis de Polignac announced
that a second series of contests among
aviators would be held August 21. 1910.

R0SEBERY AGAINST BUDGET
Will Speak in Opposition to Appro

LONDON, Aug. 30. The greatest sen
satjon of the present budget campaign
was furnished today, when Lord Rose
bery accepted an Invitation from the
business men of Glasgow to speak at
an anti-budget meeting in Glasgow,
September 10.
Lord Rosebery's attitude on this sub
ject has up to the present tiine been
doubtful. If he comes out strongly
against these financial propositions he
will sever himself completely from his
party and be in a position of greater
Isolation than before.
Lord Rosebery has a large following
of independent voters, and his antagon
ism probably will be a hard blow to
the budget, which recently has seemed j
to be gaining In popularity with the

M'MAHON'S HORSES LOST
Pack Animals Allowed to Wander
Off by Careless Guide.
NEWPORT, Or., Aug. 3a (Special.)
Word has come from Ten Mile' Creek,
35 miles below here, that the two valu
able horses owned by L. H. McMahon, of
Salem, and used as pack horses during
the Heney camping trip, which were lost
August IS, on Fairv'.ew Ridge, have not
yet been recovered.
This is probably due to the negligence
of a guide named Bray, who let the
horses wander off, and who, when sent
to hunt them by Mr. McMahon, was 'dis
covered a couple of days later by Mr.
Heney cutting wood on the beach in front
of the Bray cabin.

"When Francis J. Heney, the San Fran
cisco graft prosecutor, was Introduced
to the members of the Commercial Club
this afternoon before whom he gave an
address, he asked the chairman of the
meeting to And him a place where his
back would be against the wall, before
he began his speech.
"I want to stand where I will not get
hit In th back." he said. "1 had one
experience which nearly cost me my life,
and I don't care to take any chances in
the future."
He was found a place and he talked to
the members with his back resting
against a solid wall where there was no
chance of an assassin's bullet taking him
unawares.
During his address. In which he said
that he believed the great masses of the
people, the bankers as well, want good
government, he referred to the chilly re
ception he received In Portland after the
Oregon land fraud cases.
"In Portland during the exposition I
met Governor Folk," he said, "at an en
tertainment In his honor. He asked if
I would be there. -He noticed a sort of
chilled air come over the business men.
The second time he noticed the same chill
pass over them and he told me he found
I was about as popular in Portland as
he Is In St. Louis."
To Illustrate the cause of this coolness
he referred to the San Francisco graft
prosecution, saying:
"As long as the prosecution was con
fined to the men In front, like Reuf and
Schmitz. I waa upheld by the bankers
and business men, but when prosecution
of the men who paid the bribe money
was begun, I become unpopular for
they hnd many and Influential friends
among the banks and clubs and other organizations."
