Bhattered today when a cable mes
sage was received from Dr. David
i Jayne, American ambassador to Ger
many, declining to permit the use of
his name as a candidate for the nom
ination for governor.
It is now expected that the votes
of the allies will be scattered, which
will, insure the nomination of
Hughes on the first ballot.
The routing of the allies Is a
heavy blow for, the racing interests,
which have been fighting hard to
prevent the renomlnatlon of the gov
ernor. The enemies of the direct
primary law also fear that his nom
ination will be a death blow to them.
There Is no doubt that Hughes, if re
elected, will demand the passage of a
direct primary law, as it is under
stood that the failure to effect this
reform during his present term was
one of the main facts that induced
him to become a candidate again.

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept 15. That the
opposition to the renomlnatlon of Gov
ernor Hughes is being conducted In the
state convention here merely for the
purpose of permitting soma of the lead
ers to "make a snow or strength' is
shown by the atatement of William A.
irenaergast, register ox nings county,
t who said today that State Chairman
Woodruff promised him In advance that
jiugoes wouia oe nominated.
In an Interview given exclusively to
the United Press, Prendergast todny
aia:
before the conferences last night, that
Hughes would be nominated. The
Hughes men in the Kings county dele
gation remained quiet solely for the
purpose of allowing woodruff to make
his show of strength and control bis
one delegation, apparently swinging it
against Hughes. As a matter of fact
we knew all the time that Hughes
would be nominated and I am abso
lutely certain that It will be Hughes
on the first ballot.
"Prior to the meeting last night I
told Woodruff that I was going to tear
things up with a hot Hughea speech.
He asked me not to do It. assuring me
that Hughes was going to be nominated
anyway and that there waa no use. I
asked him to make that promts to me
on his word of honor and he did. He
will keep the promise and, as far as
the results are concerned. It is all over
but the shouting. Hughea will be the
head of the ticket."
Michael J. Daly and a number of
other Kings county leaders confirmed
the statement of Prendergast and said
that Woodruff had made the same
promise to them

man has never supported Hughea and
it is believed that he realised he would
be displaced unless he made a show of
power, it is proDSDie anyway mat

James B. Brady of New Tork, better
known as "Diamond Jim," one of the
best known liorseracing men in America
and the owner of one of the finest col

to the enforcement of the anti-betting

Mr. Brady arrived In Portland last

Mr. Brady blames Governor Hughes
for everything In the .reform line that
Is now rotng on in jvew lorn siaie.
"When Hughes was elected no one
thought he was helping to put such a
reformer in office." Mr. Brady said this
morning, "but now that the people of
New York have found out what he In
tends to do. they will have to do the
best they can to overcome the power of
the chief executive.

New Tork, Sept. 15. "I found a
general apathy everywhere In the
west regarding the political situa
tion," said Harrtman, "and in this
apathy lies the greatest danger to
the Republican party. Business Is
on the increase everywhere in the
west, however." E. H. Harriman.
l E. H. Harrjman today sounded the
alarm for the Republican party. In an
Interview he said that the apathy of
voters made Is possible for the Demo
crats to elect Bryan.
The announcement caused a sensation
here.
Mr. Harriman refused to discuss the
report that has gained circulation re
garding the formation of a new holding

He would not talk about the changes

London, Sept. 15. Openly accus
ing Germany of treachery toward the
other powers in its dealings with
Morocco, the English, French, Span
ish and Russian foreign offices are
exchanging hurried notes today in an
effort to agree on some mutally sat
lsfactory line of action to prevent
the kaiser from gaining complete
control over the new government un
der Mulai Hafid. All the powers be
lieve that .Germany Is-planning to
break the Algeciras treaty. That
Germany feels that its Interests are
suffering under the Algeciras treaty
and Intends, without violating the
actual text of the agreement to pay
no further attention to Its spirit, is
considered certain by all the other
signatory governments.
All the European papers outside of
Germany and Austria, rained the cry
of treachery as soon as It was learned
that Wllhelm had smuggled his con
sular agent. Dr. Vassel, from Tangier
to Fes to convey assurances of Ger
many's friendship to the sultan, while
at the same time Germany was pre
tending to acquiesce In the verdict
of the powers that Mulal should not be
recognized until he had ratified the
Algeciras treaty. Then came the of
ficial announcement from Berlin that
"the imperial government believes It
self bound to point out that the speedy
recognition of Mulai Hafid would be In
the Interest of pacification of Morocco"
When the powers received this, thev be
came alnrmen, and were evidently con
vinced of the correctness of the news
