Be fore this . delegation left WashingtO’.) ' last nis'ht the Daily News coi-res- jjocdent had no douU that they hai won their point and that Lu'ndafoi'd would be appointed.

This, it is said, is adi^itted eveK by Ih-^ ft'iei’.ds oi Mr. Lur-dsford. This discrepancy in signer.'!, iiowever, is .a^c:>u;;t.ed for by LviMsford's fiionds, l;y sta',!:’.g that they did not know it woiiid be necessary to secure a petition as lon^ as tlje rank and file, of Durhair'.s Dc-iT)Q;;-:;.;y. j.ur.dsford’s friends say he has the iargGst number . of the . ‘‘w'oridns;'’ —-Denio.crats.

This a.s:.in a.-ice was girc-i after ifr. Kop-?v bad dic tated a letter to his ow!i stenograph er and set fortli %vhat v;as required of Mr. Smith if he should be appoint ed postmaster. After the letter was shown to Smith ( aiid J.Ir. Burleson had^tated positively if SmitSi couid sign that letter he vw.uid be apr>oint- ed at once, Mr. Smith signed the let ter in the presence of Burleson. But when a “private" letter was re ceived trom Wi'isoii protesting against Smith’s appointment, Mr. Roper clip ped Smith name from the list and allowed the others to go. This “priv ate" lett;r was sent to the postoflice department by Senator Simmons. It was displayed on the desk of Mr. Koper by Joe Taylor, the senior Sen- utor’s secretary. But he refused to allow it to »-emain in the files with ocher papers for and against Smith. This Mr. Kitchin did not know. And it is said he proliably expressed his opinion to the powers that he. Smith’s nomination was again prom ised to Mr. Kitchin today. Roper stated that he was only holding up the appointment until Senator Sim mons could get to his oifice; but that it would eventually eo in and be con firmed, Th«re is a srood chance thut Theo- dbre Roosevelt will make a visit to North Carolina during this year. It is known that the contnittee arrang ing for the 134th anniversary celebra tion of King’s Mountain will go to Oyster Bay within a few weeks and formalty invite the former President to make the principal address on that occasion. The celebration will be held in October. It ia said that Colonel Roosevelt has always taken a deep interest in the work being done by the King’s Mountain battleground committeo. When he signed the bill appropriat ing $j)0,003 for the monumc-.t on the battlefield he told Representative Webb that he did so with pleasure. The bast histo^ of the battle of King's Mountain, historians contend, is that written by Colonel Roosevelt. The former President has intimat> ed to his friends that he would like to niaice several political speeches in the State this year, and those in a position to know what his plans are sa7 fhat he is certain to accept the invitation which the King’s Mountain people will eztend to hmi shortly.

Greensboro, May 20,—The meeting of the Republican State Executive Committee which has been called for May 26 in Greensboro by Chairman Morehead, is expected to develop some interesting political activity in the nature of an eifort to bring to gether the Bepublicans and Progress ives of the State. There ie a strong feeling that the effort will be a suc cess and that the split up party will be reunited with a new organization. Since the call for the meeting was issued there has been much specula tion as to the purpose and outcome. Taftites are said to be anxious to s'Be the party reunited .upon some basis that will make a strong and solid or ganization. TSiat they will make con cessions, if necessary, to come to an understandinj)! and a harmonious frame of mind is a report. On the other hand the Progressives are said to be willing to come to gether on a reasonable basis and with a reasonable organization. So that all in all it appears that both sides are figuring toward reaching the same end, a solid representation of their strength. Questions that have arisen natural ly in this speculation are, will More- head eliminate himself from the head ship, and win the Morehead and Wil liamson leaders put their shoulders and heads together to the choice uf a man beside whom both Republicans and Progressives will stand? To se- *n«h a co-operation and unity s believed by wiseacres to be the principal purpose of the nteeting here next T^esiky. So far as is known, no such man aa is desired has been daeided on or suggested, but that ho is being sought is felt to be quite certain. -.f ih-: the j rei-pc^live distrifts, niu:il. be re- c'.-.ivn!i:;h-,garded us more than the- per.sonal tri- •Vi.'/ii cf gehtlemen.

There was noted the most gratify ing spontaneity in the vote of Mr. Webb and wc take it that in the end this vote win be made,.unanimous. The silly assortment of shibboleths tried on by Mr. Webb’s opponents did not even have the saving grace o,Nov elty. |*ie said that the Daily News was a yiepublican paper and that Mr. Webb Vlas in some way, and some how, too friendly with the American Tobacco Company and the Southern Railway Company. Others have at tempted to raise those issues, and there is a deadly sameriess in the mel ancholy end to which they have in evitably come.

Vera Cruz,'May 19.—Dr. Aureliano^ Urrutia, ex-Mi>ister of th© Interior,' declared here today that he left the capital because he feared assassina tion and in the belief that a revolt would shortly occurs in the city of Mexico. “I left the capita!,” he said, “for two reasons. The first was a know ledge of a plot among General Huer ta’s close political supporters to as sassinate me, they saying I knew too much. Second, there has been plan ned a general revolt of the people and the army. “I would not be surprised to receive now at any minute news of an up rising against Huerta, of whom the i^eople and the army are determined to rid themselves." Twice arrested and hustled through the streets by American soldiers and hisser and threatened by his coun trymen Urrutia was forced to face yesterday some of the indignities to which he cubjested others while he was high in power at ihe capita!.
