AlcAdoo's Men in Empire State Race Make Such Poor Run That Lead ers Show Hostility for Sec retary's "Babbling." OREGDKIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 5. The overwhelming de feat of the Administration candidates for the Democratic Gubernatorial and Senatorial nominations In the New York primary has given grave concern to Democratic Senators and Represen tees who have been looking to the President and the Administration to pull them through at the coming No vember election. In New York State, at least, candi dates were, not aided by having the moral support of the President and his Administration, but, on the contrary. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Frank lin D. Roosevelt and John A. Hennes sey, respective candidates for nomina tion for Senator and for Governor, both backed by the National Administra tion, were snowed under, and candi dates acceptable to Tammany were handily nominated. 1 was true In New York, as it Is true In other states, that the Administra tion at Washington did not lend its open support to Roosevelt or to Hen nessey, but it was noised about New York State during the campaign that the Administration preferred these men to Ambassador Gerard and Governor Glynn. And notwithstanding the fact that it was printed repeatedly in the New York papers, during the course of the campaign, that the Administration had given its moral support to Roose velt and Hennessey, no denial was ever made from the White House, but the inference was allowed to go unchal lenged. Glynn and Gerard Strong. When the votes were counted, it was found that Governor Glynn had defeat ed Hennessey by nearly 100,000 votes, while Gerard had defeated Roosevelt by more than 70,000 votes. This was out of a total Democratio vote cast in the primaries of approximately 220,000. The Administration candidates were so far outclassed that the contest took on the aspect of a landslide within the party. Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury Department, son-in-law of the Presi dent, was responsible largely for put ting Roosevelt and Hennessey In the Democratic race, and it was his back ing, active as it was, which was re sponsible largely for the fact that these men were known as the Adminis nation candidates. In thus dabblini in the Democratic primary. Secretary Mi'Adoo aroused a vast amount of has tility among the Democratic leaders of the state, for there has been a grow ing resentment of McAdoo's interfer ence in New York politics, while he holds the office of Secretary of the Treasury. Of recent months McAdoo has made himself especially obnoxious to Sena tor O'Gorman and other active leaders in the New York Democracy, and es pecially so by Interfering and attempt ing to control Federal patronage in New York. McCombs Flies Protest. Toward the close of the primary con test William F. McCombs. chairman of the Democratic National Committee. and the man who managed the Wilson Presidential campaign two years aco came to Washington to protest against tne Administration throwing its moral if not its open support to Roosevelt and Hennessey. On that. McCombs took issue with McAdoo, and talked plainly to the President, predicting that the men. backed by McAdoo, would be defeated overwhelmingly at the primary elec tion. Anticipating that result. Mc Combs did not want it to go forth that tne Administration was backing men who were foredoomed to defeat; more over, he did not like the Idea of the National Administration taking a hand In the primary contest in New York State. Even after McCombs had seen i President, no denial was sent out from the White House of the story that the Administration was backing Roosevelt and Hennessey, and right up to the day of the voting the idea was prevalent in the state that these men were the favorites with the Administration at Washington. Indeed, it was asserted by -campaigners supporttng these two can didates that they had the backing of the Administration, and that claim was never disputed until after the votes had been counted and the result made Known.

STATE CHAIRMAN'SniP REFUSED William McCombs Declines to Be Considered in New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 5 William F. Mc Combs. chairman of the Dumniratii' National Committee, definitely declined today to have his name considered as Democratic state chairman by the state committee, wnicn is to meet in Albany tomorrow. His work in the demrrei. ional campaign this Fall, he said, so curtailed his time that , he could not uuvue nimseii to tne state election. He expressed the opinion that Gov ernor Glynn would succeed himself. NAMELESS SHIP DETAINED Vessel at San Francisco, Without Papers, Seeks Flag to Sail Under. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 5. A ship xjiuuMi a name, witnout a country with a full cargo, but without clear ance papers, swung idle at her snr-hnr In San Francisco Bay today, while her master and crew fretted to learn what flag they are under and when they can get away. The vessel is (or was) the Alexan dria. formerly of the Kosmos line. Re cently she was reported sold to the northern Southern .. Navigation EMQGRA OVER NO Company, a newly-organized corpora tion. The new owners applied to Washington for " permission to register their purchase as the Sacramento, under the American flag. That was ten days ago, and, permis sion failing to forthcome. a second ap plication was lodged With the Collector-of the Port for leave to clear for Valparaiso under the German flag and the old name. In the meantime, Rear-Admiral Pond, for the preservation of neutrality, has placed an 'off icer -from the United StateB cruiser New Orleans on board. WASHINGTON, "oct. 6. The steam ship Alexandria, formerly German owned, but now a ship without a country and detained by United States authorities at San Francisco, probably will not be relieved from her present predicament for several days, in the opinion of the officials of the navigation- bureau. It was said tonight the perplexing questions . of the -vessel's ownership must - be solved before she could be granted American registry or permitted to. sail under the German flag. - It is probable clearance under the German flag win be denied until this Government is satisfied that its neutrality will not be violated by the Alexandria's contemplated voyage. The steamer Lorenzo, captured by British cruisers and held for a prize court ruling because of allegations that she had supplied coal and provisions to the German cruiser Karlsruhe, is the only American registered steamer coming within the scope of such an investigation so far as officials here are aware. No reports have been re ceived of the failure of other steamers to arrive at their destinations. BRIDE'S DEATH RELATED Brother at Inquest Says Mrs. Pusey . Victim of Mental Disorder. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct. 5. (Spe cial.) Coroner W. J. Wilson this morn ing held an inquest over the body of Mrs. Gertrude C Pusey, Henry Puseys bride of four months, who committed suicide last Thursday, and the verdict of the jury was "drowning with sui cidal intent." The inquest was delayed by Coroner Wilson for the arrival of Mrs. Pusey'a brother, Hiram C. Connell, from Santa Anna, Cal. The body was shipped to California this afternoon for interment. The most sensational develooment of the inquest was the fact that Mrs. Pusey had threatened suicide before in California before her marriage last June. and had been persuaded to change her mind by her brother. Mr. Connell tes tified that he had found his sister with a bottle of acid which she prepared to take, and he had saved her only by ap pealing to her honor for the family. According to the testimony, such per iods of mental disorder were frequent. ASIATIC'S DEATH SUICIDAL Seattle Coroner Holds That Ching Gow, of Portland, Hanged Self. SEATTLE "Oct. 5.

Huntington, Senator Stanford, Charles Crocker and Boston financiers. The plaintiffs In the suit decided to day asserted their claims to 160-acre parcels of the. land upon a provision in the original Congressional grant which stipulated that the land was to be sold upon earned acquisition In quarter sections at $2.50' an acre.
