'Tal" Stafford, wh" reported here last week to the Asheville club, was released yesterday. Stafford failed j to show up good In the box this year I and It was believed that he was not developing fast enoi:t;h tn b carried on the local club any longer. He played with the locu! clr.b last year and at times his worlt was brilliant but as a whole he did not stack up well enough even last year for the local club to hold him any longer this season, In order for him to develop. Ho was In Porto ltd o during the winter, where he taught school, and the local club was under the impres sion that he would t,ot report hero until July, even If then. But last week Secretary T. M. Duekett received a message from him from Raleigh, his home, stating that he had just arrived and was ready to report. He worked In several games lu-re since then but his work was not considered what it ! should have been. Special to Ths Gazette-X.wa. Greensboro. May 51. Tho meeting of the republican state executive com mittee which has been called for May 26 In Greensboro by Chairman More head is expected to develop some In teresting political activities In the na ture, of an effort to bring together the republicans and progressives of the state. There la a strong feeling that the effort will be a success and that the party will be reunited with a new organization. Since the call for the meeting was Issued thcrp has been much specula tion as to the purpose and outcome. TafUtes are said to be anxious to see tho party reunited upon some basis that will make a strong and solid or ganization. They will make conces sions, if necessary to como to an un derstanding and a harmonious frame of mind la tho report. . On the other hand ths progressives are said to be willing to come togeth er on a reasonable basis and with a reasonable organisation. So that all in all it appears that both aides are fig uring toward reaching the same end, a solid representation of strength. . Questions that have arisen natural ly In this speculation are, will More head eliminate himself .from the head-ship, and will the Morehead and Williamson leaders put their should ers and heads together to the choice of a man beside whom both republi can and progressive factions will stand? To secure such a co-operation and unity is believed by wiseacres to be the principal purpose of the meet ing here next Tuesday. So far as Is known, no nah man as Is desired has been decided on or suggested, but that he is being sought Is felt to be quite certain. Through Canal. Colon, Panama, May 20.
