Rumors Heard as Time lor Settling
"of Important Issues in
State Draws Near.
- . i
SEATTLE. Wh.. June SO'-(Special.)
Just what the ' approaching
gubernatorial election will bring
forth In the republican party .-, of
Washington is a matter of uncer
tainty in the minds of politician
here. They have not yet settled In their
own minds whether the party is to
fight out the gubernatorial nomine?
tion with the material on hand,
whether there will be an 'effort at
elimination, whether a "man of the
hour" will coma -forth, and finally,
whether or not there is to be a con-
test to keep tne triple alliance and
. non-partisan league as aeparate polit
ical organizations out of the repub
lican primaries. . ' ,
-A great deal of epeculatlon in- re-
-publican circles is traceable to the
,x&ct that the national conventions
are attracting most of the attention,
and the gubernatorial candidates are
.conserving their energies until they
are certain of audiences,
-s- The triple alliance and the non-.
partisan league will not be settled
until the state meeting in Yakima late
. '.next month. Until uncertainty ends
in a etate conference, the well-organ-
tied minority represented by the
.league and alliances has to be fig
ured as a possible contender in either
the republican or democratic pri
maries or as a separate political or
"ganization. The committee of 48, an outgrowth
of the conference held last year be
tween representatives of all minority
political parties, Is avowedly in favor
of a new national ticket with at
tendant etate tickets. The conference
between the Nonpartisan league.
Triple alliance and Railway Men's
Welfare association will occur after
"the committee of 48 has held its con
tention In Chicago on July 10 and the
;48'ers are expected to have repre
sentatives at the Yakima conference,
t It is well known in all political
'circles that most of the active derao
"cratic leaders would like to form an
alliance with the independent politi
, cal organizations. They would pro
," pose a fusion as effective as the one
rthat opposed the republicans of
S Washington in 1896' and some of the
leaguers and members of the triple
! alliance are also favorable to this
scheme. But what the rank and file
ywill wish to, do is uncertain,
s J .Despite repeated denials the story
persists in republican cirdles that
William Short, president of the State
.-Federation of Labor, may be shoved
r into the republican primary fight as a
' gubernatorial candidate. Mr. Short
j not only insists he has. no such ambi-
tion but also maintains that the whole
; programme of the Triple alliance,
."Non-partisan league and similar bod-
leg is uncertain. A show-down, how-
ever, will have to be made within a
j month's time. -.
While republican leaders believe the
t primary law was designed to protect
i political parties against invasion by
fan organized minority representing
i antagonistic beliefs, party members
would feel a great deal more cpmfort
; able if there was oiot so much of a
J split among the candidates opposed
t to the more radical groups..- t
; - Three opinions are strongly ex
; pressed by republican leaders who are
j hazarding guesses as to .what might
i be done in the future. Some feel that
in the natural 'course of events ithe
j candidacies of some of the men now
1 running for governor will flatten out
by the end of July an4 tha vott they
Twill poll will not be consequential.
Politicians who hold to such a -belief
", figure it is of., small . consequence
whether or riot the radical groups
enter 'the republican primaries, for
t If "the .'weaker gubernatorial candi
i dates are shaken loose and their fol
' lowing is concentrated behind one or
it two of the leading candidates. It is
estimated the radicals could be out
voted in a primary contest.
!'i - Another republican group figures
; some sort or an elimination contest
; or agreement must be brought about.
' This opinion takes shape in the form
of a suggestion that the candidates
4 settle the matter among themselves.
Some republican leaders would unite
the .anti-radical vote on- some candi-
date already in the fight. Others
- would hunt around for an outsider or
"dark horse" who could be injected
i into tne race, wniie all those now
;. proposing to fight for the nomination
; drop out.
Considerable gossip over the possi
". bllity of "dark horse" candidates has
'j been heard during the past week,
' -when Borne republican leaders have
f figured that the certainty of a hard
campaign in Washington, backed by
the national committee, will be made
: to carry the state for the entire re-
publican ticket.
- More or less gossip is heard over
tha possibility that some member of
- the congressional delegation might be
agreed upon as a compromise guber
; natorial candidate. This may be
J mere talk, or it might result in
serious effort to satisfy everybody
with such a compromise, but as yet
the gossip is too indefinite tor serious
I consideration.

Landing- Is Made on Guild's Iake
, WUh , Tail"', of Machined
: . - ' High In. Air. "
Only rby rare good fortune did
Mayor' Caldwell of Seattle ' miss ter
minating a-" 'flight " by "airplane - to
Portland yesterday by being dumped
into Guild's lake or maimed beneath
crumpled plane.
When the machine in which Mayor
Caldwell and Lieutenant Lee Miller,
his pilot, came to a stop as they
landed at the Guild's lake field of
the Oregon, Washington St Idaho
Airplane company, it had its nose in
a pile of brush only a few Inches from
the water of the lake, and its tail
gb in the air, threatening to twirl
complete -flip-flop. As Lieutenant
Miller, member of the Ninth aero
squadron, made the landing at the
end of the Seattle-Portland flight
with his mayor passenger, the air
plane rolled half the length' of the
field and was caught, and held on
the edge of the bank by a clump of
trees and bushes.
i The accident was caused by engine
trouble, according to Lieutenant Mil
ler. - - -
Unfamiliar with the grounds, and
with his engine missing spasmod
ically since leaving Tacoma, Lieu
tenant Miller was unable to approach
the field from the south and conse
quently alighted in the center of the
grounds, his plane skidding at a good
rate of speed along the ground to
ward the company hangars.
To avoid colliding with the Han
gars, and to save lives, as a crown
had ' assembled, the lieutenant
swerved his machine di-ectly toward
the. lake, and was only stopped at tne
water's edge by the brush. The plane
was tipped until its rudders pointed
straight into the air. 1
Neither of the occupants was in
jured and the airplane's fusllage sus
tained but nominal damage.
The mavor did not appear 1 tne
least perturbed as he climbed from
the plane, and employes or me com
pany were amazed at his coolness.
I Just came down lo-iaae in wi
Shrine convention," explained Mayor
Caldwell. "I really think the trip
down was wonderful."
Lieutenant Miller will be In fort-
land about two weeks, recruiting of
fices for his squadron being main
tained at the Oregon. .Washington
& Idaho company's field.
Before leaving Seattle, Mayor taia-
well wired the Multnomah notei lor
reservations, but on arrival in r-ori-land
found he had bea the '.elegram
to the . hotel. . He made the trip in
one hour and 38 minutes.
Tha oply stop, made was at la
coma where the aviators descended
for engine repairs. According to the
lieutenant, bis engine began to "act
up" soon after leaving there, ana
trouble was experienced; all the way
to Portland. The plane was a De
Haviland, and of the latest army
type.

Seattle Executive Declares Oity Is

"Portland has mide preparations
for the-Bhriners.. which reflect credit
uDon the entire northwest," declared
Mayor Hugh M. Caldwell of Seattle,
last .night, alter a tour over me cny
and a visit with prominent local no
bles. "We. in Seattle, expected Port
land to do itself proud, to extend to
the visiting nobles from all over the
land the true western welcome, and
we find that our expectations are be
ing more than realized.
The Seattle executive made no com
Darison between the present conven
tion in Portland and that held in Se
attle five years ago, beyond declaring
Portland's i welcome to the nobles
would be on a par with that of the
sound city. Decorations he cited as
wonderful in the extreme, and he de
clared he waa looking forward to-pne
of the most spectacular weeks he had
ever participated In.
Mayor Caldwell went the train ar
rivals yesterday one better Dy hop
ping down . from the sound city by
airplane. A sllgnt accident to tne ma
chine at the landing field at Guilds
lake will make it necessary to ship
Darts to San Francisco for repair,
however, he said last night, and the,
return to Seattle on Friday will - be
made in the ' old-fashioned Pullman
way.

the home of Dr.. F. B. Gregory of
that city, was made here tonight by
Mrs. Madeline Force Astor Pick, wid
ow of Colonel John Jacob Astor, and
now wife of William K-- Dick, million

"There is absolutely no truth in

I cannot understand where the news
papers got such information.
"I do not know who started, these

about me. You can say for me there
is nqt a word of truth in the re
