ANDERSON IS FAVORITE Jolin.-on, Insurgent Candidate, Will Cut Into Regular Vote Carry Has Saloon Following Workings of Law Tend to "Bosslsm." . SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 15. (Special.) On the eve of the "first dl rect primary election of this state, all the usual political prophets are at sea. There are no precedents to go by and rood authorities are diametrically op posed In their estimates. Alden An derson. the regular Republican candl date for Governor. Is confident he will be nominated. He has behind him the old Republican machine organization and he represents the policy of high protection, which has made California prosperous. He Is by far the ablest of the candidates as he has had much experience In public service and is a banker and millionaire fruit grower. But the Republican vote is cut up between five candidates. Hiram John son Is the Idol of the Insurgent) and of the Lincoln-Roosevelt League. He Is a fine campaign orator and has made a strong Impression throughout the state. Curry, the present Secretary of State, has a large following of saloon men. gamblers and fraternal organiza tions. Stanton, from Los Angeles. Is an able man and will poll a large vote In the southern counties. Ellery. the 'tfth man, will get only a very 'small rote. - Estimates Are Worthless. Among all these candidates It la Im possible to tell who will get the larg est vote. There are no estimates, only claims of each candidate. The same tnlng holds good in regard to the two Supreme Court Judges and the regular state, ticket. No estimates that are of any value can be given because every thing Is without precedent- Over -half of the Democrats of the ttate, according to reliable authority, are. registered as Republicans under the primary law. This fact, considered to be one of the abuses of the new law by many, complicates matters to such an extent that nothing but the actual count of the votes cast tomorrow will clear the political skies. It la expected that the Democrats will take advan tage of the privilege the new law al lows them and show that under Its irorklngs the balance of power la real ly conferred upon the minority party. Old line politicians, who are used to the old order of things, are openly charging that the primary election law is a flat fail ure in this respect, and that It does not give a true Index of the will of the people. Several large daily papers of the state, among them the San Fran cisco Chronicle, openly abuse the work ings of the new law and claim that tinder It "bosslsm flourishes aa It never flourished before In California. The general mass of the people have not been able so far to get deeper Into an understanding of the cumbersome primary ballot than that tbey are to t nominate a candidate for Governor of ; their party. The names of other caridt . dates are lost In a maze of printed mat- ter on 'a blanket-sized ballot, that is . absolutely meaningless to the voter of Intelligence, even above the average. Liquor Candidate Strong. This Is where tbe old-time boas steps Into the game. Curry is tbe avowed candidate of the Royal Arch, the UqMor men's organization. There are over 3000 saloons In the City of San Francisco. and In front of almost every one of these places there floats a great banner emblazoned with Curry's name In gi-eit letters. Every one of these liquor dls : pensarlea la reported to be able to ' "deliver at least is votes for its can ' didates. With this force is leagued union labor, which la guaranteed to e ' liver S000 votes In San Francisco. Tfr"s is simply an example of the workings of the new law. , The other candidates have forces eoually as potent behind them In tho railroads, the banks, the Insurgents and reformers, etc.. and matters are so com plicated no one can foretell the result of tomorrow's election. WAREHOUSE IS PLANNED Astoria Firm to Replace Building Destroyed by Fire. ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. "-(Special.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. (Special.) Gold Is pouring In upon San Fran Cisco In a manner to. rival the home. comings of the Spanish galleons of old. From the far Orient, from aiex Ico. from Alaska and from all the gold bearing regions of Western United States, the stream Is descending in huge values of millions. "Enough to pave Market street from end to end." Is Treasurer Lee Mo- Clung's estimate of the quantity. Because most of the gold finds its way to San Francisco, the mint there Is soon to devote all lta facilities to coinage of the yellow metal. The mint is at present coining $500,000 worth of half-dollars to me.et a crying de mand for them, but as soon as this job is out of the way work will begin on the gold bullion, of which somethini like IJ9.000.000 In value has accumu lated on Uncle Sam's hands. Seven millions came from the Orient and Mexico. Gold certificates cannot be Issued until the gold is actually coined and It is In anticipation of some new Issues that the mintage Is to be rushed. Ex elusive coinage of gold by the San Francisco mint will be temporary and continue only until the present glut Is relieved.

GRISCOM'S MISSION ABORTIYE New York Chairman Fails to Change Colonel's Views. THEY AGREE ON NEW YORK All-Day Conference Falls to Induce ex-President to Change Plans, Which Do Not Include Indorse mcnt of Administration. OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Aug. 15. No tld ings went forth from . Sagamore Hill to day at the conclusion of the conference between Theeodore Roosevelt and Lloyd C. Grlscom, chairman of the New York Republican county committee. . The county chairman is known to have been the bearer of a message from Presi- dent Taft. and It was generally supposed that the message was sent in the hope of obtaining Colonel Roosevelt's out spoken support in a move to obtain har- morjy within the Republican ( party. But when Mr. Grlscom went away, after a talk which lasted most of the day, the only thing he was willing to speak about was the New York state situation. He said Taft' and'Rdosevelt were in full ac cord In that regard. - Not Ready to Indorse Taft. In spite of Colonel Roosevelt's reti cence, it Is believed here that he has mapped out a programme which does not Include, for the present at least, a defi nite indorsement of the Taft Administra tion. There is good ground for the belief that the visit of Mr. GHsoora today, on his return from Beverly, has not caused him to alter his opinion. Mr. Grlscom was not anxious to make It appear that he had come to Sagamore Hill as an .emissary from the .President. He not only said that the President had not sent him, but added that Mr. Taft did not know today's conference was to be held. Agreed on State Politics. "How do the views of President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt coincide In reference to National politics?" Mr. Grls com was asked. The county chairman replied: "I did not discuss National politics to any great extent with President Taft." Are they agreed as to the New York state situation?" 'Yes; I have discussed candidates and platforms and the whole New Tork sit uation with both of them and their vle"ws coincide." Mr. Grlscom said that no names had been mentioned prominently for the (Concluded on Page 3.) MR. PRESIDENT." Government Naval Bill Also Provides for Replacing Two Old Battle ships With New Ones.

Montana's Executive Believe Effort Is Deliberate. WARNING NOTE SOUNDER Programme Arranged So That There. Can Be No Presentation at Con servation Congress of "North western Idea" of Subject. . i HELENA, Mont.. Aug. 15 That there has been a studied effort to prevent the presentation of the attitude of tbe North west at the coming Conservation Con gress at 9t. Paul is the opinion firmly ex pressed today by Governor Norris. The Governor took this occasion to express hie views because the presence in Montana of the board of Army engineers appointed to inspect the reclamation proj ects at the time of the Salt Lake City conference of the Western . executives, would prevent him . from attending the conference of Governors at Salt Lake. The Governor said: "The States of the Northwest have by far the greater portion of the country's natural resources that are to be con served, and this section of the - United States is therefore vitally interested -in every plan that tends to conserve these resources. - "It has been expected that the exec utives of the Northwest would have an opportunity at the St. Paul Conserva tion-Congress to present what haw-come to be known as the 'Northwestern idea' which epitomizes the .view of all of the Northwestern Governors, as .expressed in the conferences of Governors hereto fore held at Washington, D. C, : and which is, in brief, that the natural resources tn very large measure belong to the states rather than to the Federal Government, and their administration should be in the hands of ' the states themselves. - S . ",- :-. l . 'However, ' it seems that the pro gramme for the Conservation Congress has been made up and there has been no provision for the presentation of the Northwestern idea. In fact it' looks, al most as if there, has been a studied ef fort to prevent the presentation of,the at-' titude of the Northwest on this most important question. Under -the - circum stances it may well be doubted whether the Conservation Congress to be held at St Paul will result in any great good to the states in the Northwest group." M'ARTHCR GOING TO UTAH Governor's Secretary to Attend Salt Lake Conference. SALEM, Or., Aug. 15. (Special.) C. N. McArthur, Speaker of the House of Representatives and secretary to the Governor, will leave Portland at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for Salt Lake City, where he will represent Acting Gov ernor Jay Bowerman and the State of Oregon at a conference of the Western Governors, held August 1$, at tbe sug gestion of Governor Hay, of Washington. Secretary McArthur has been dele gated by Acting Governor Bowerman to participate in this conference, as it will be Impossible for the Acting Governor to leave the state.- Such a move on the, part of Bowerman would leave Oregon without an executive and without anyone i in line for the position. ' "It would be Ill-advised at this time, for me to make any -statement as . to what I will advocate at Salt Lake City." : stated Secretary McArthur. "This con-, ference is for the purpose of outlining some uniform policy of conservation for the Western States, and to secure ideas which will be advantageous to the West as a whole. The policies of the execu tive offices have been pretty clearly out lined, but further than that I do not care to make a statement at this time as to just what I will, advocate at the Salt j Lake meeting." Hay Starts for Salt Lake. OLTMPIA. Wash., Aug. 15. (Special.) Governor Hay left this evening for j Bait Lake, to be absent probably a week.
