Clash Oveir Nominee For Governor and County Option Resolution. - WILD DISORDER PREVAILED Democrats Denounced Republican Is sues and Condemned the Admin istrationWeakness of Taft Deplored Details. " Minneapolis, Iinn., July 28. Demo- cratim storm signals which were fly ing when theState Democratic con vention met heVe today were torn to shreds by the tempest of feeling which was let loose' late this afternoon over the nomination of John Lind, for Gov ernor, and the attempt tQ introduce a direct resolution In the party platform favoring county -option. For. more than three hours there was no let-up to the scene of disorder except for a few moments when Chair man Michael Daly managed to make himself heard after terrific wounding with a piece of two by four scantline which he used as a gavel. , The ticket named is: Governor. John Lind, Minneapolis; Secretary of State, Fred W. Johnson. New Uum: Attorney General, J. M. Freeman, Oli via; State Treasurer, Charles F. Lad ner, St Cloud. ' Mutterings of the trouble were heard early in the day and an unusual condition existed. The entire delega tion was as a unit in declaring that John Lind was one of the best Demo crats in Minnesota. The delegates were all his friends, but divided into two factions. One insisted that Lind,, most be nominated despite his repeat ed refusal to be a candidate and his final flat declaration in ' a telegram from Portland Ore..-yesterday, that he would';not accept the nomination' while the: other faction argued, that he had been -Governor of. Minnesota. and had nothing to gain by the nomi nation, and , that he was of sufficient importance to have his wishes heeded by the convention,- The latter faction shook fists at the chairman -and at the other side while those bent on -nominating Lind howl ed,. hissed and completely blocked the proceedings, until by sheer force of noise and enthusiasm they won their point and secured the nomination. 1 Even then the friends opposed to the nomination took advantage of a motion to make, the nomination unani mous, to arguei They wanted to sub mit the nomination to Mr. Lind by tel- egraplf and await his answer to take a recess till 8 o'clock tcnight if nec essary but this tailed, and finally the nomination was made unanimous and the convention adjourned at 6:33. Other nominations were made by acclamation. ' On the matter of resolutions there was no contention except for a plank on county option. The anti-county op tionists were in the saddle In the com mittee on resolutions. .. This commit tee heard the1 resolutions" offered ' by the county optionists and then voted them down and inserted a f plan de claring for the initiative and referen dum,wtiich the committee ' .declared would answer, the same purpose. On the other resolutions in the plat (form there was no fight. On National issues, the platform says: 1 "We deplore the weakness and tmid ity of President Taft who with his own campaign promises still fresh, but dominated by the predatory inter ests, weakly failed to use' the tremen dous forces of his high office to force a recreant Congressional majority to do its duty on tariff reform.', No sub sequent effort to fulfill party promises can atone for this supreme failure to restore public confidence. "We condemn the National adminis tration for its initial failure to prevent the conservation of natural resources and have nothing but contempt for its insincere efforts to appear to support conservation after public disapproval of its course was manifested. "We condemn the retention of Rich ard A. Ballinger as Secretary of the interior alter tne exposure oi nis methods of conducting the affairs of that office relating to conservation and declare it to be a National scandal. -1 "We deplore the discharge of Glf ford Pinchot from the office of Chief Forester as' a National crime.

The New York agency of the "Russo-Chlnese bank -is sued a cheerful statement tonight, lightening by $100,000 the gigantic stock and bond theft with which its youthful cashier, Erwin Wider,, now a, fugitive, stands accused."The bank's loss, says the statement will not ex ceed . $500,000. Heretofore the most conservative estimates placed the val ue of missing securities at $600,000. With the grand jury investigation of the case now under way, WIder's whereabouts is still a mystery, al though it was reported today that he was under surveillance Vt White Plains, N. .Y, only 22 miles from New York City.

The statement issued tonight by the bank says, Jn part: "A 'fall examina tion shows "that the loss , cannot" in any event exceed $5O0,00Q and of that amount a large sum is certain to be recovered by the bank.

American Dentist Sought in Connection With Disap pearance of Wife. WIRELESS FROM- ON BOARD Incontrovertible Evidence That Much Sought Man is in Company With Mfiss Leneve detectives Are Vigilant. I New York, July 28. Plugging to nigh$ through the Labrador fogs, the (dispassionate engines of the steamer Montrose are bringing momentarily nearer to laentincation two .passen gers on board, supposed to be Dr; Hawley H. Crippen and his fugitive companion, Ethel Leneve, who are wanted by the London police in con nection with the disappearance of Crippen's wife. Their fellow passengers know noth ing of the suspicion that attaches to the couple. The two suspects are not under arrest. They also are ignorant of the wireless messages of inquiry and conjecture that are flashing over their heads frompolice Headquarters thousands of mile remote. The most important of these mes sages were the communication to the Associated Press, 'directing wireless operator on the Montrose, presumably sent with authority of the captain, in which it was flatly stated that two suspects agreeing with the police de scription of Dr. Crippen and Ethel Leneve were on board. Other messages fished out of the air were addressed to Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa. The authenticity of some of them was denied, but all were in the same tenor indicating a growing conviction that the world.-wide hunt tor Dr. Crippen is at 'least nearing its fend.- , ... . - . "- The Montrose' is a slow-ship. At her beet she should do abont 15 knots an hour. Baffled. by the fogs she will 'be held back for -an indeterminate time. Granted that when her message, to the Associated. Press was sent she was 150 -miles east of Belle Island on the coast of. Labrador she is still ap proximately 850 miles east of .Father Point, fully 56 hours of steaming. It seems possible,, therefore, . that she will not reach her first stopping point before Saturday morning. In the meantime the Laurentic, bear ing Inspector Dew, who knows Dr. Crippen personally, has passed the Montrose, and should reach Father Point tomorrow. The trap is sprung but it is not certain yet that it has closed on the Quarry. Father Point, Que., July 28. The captain of the steamship Montrose, nearing this port, after a voyage across the Atlantic, flashed to the Co lonial government at Ottawa today a wireless message in which he said, ac cording to apparently authoritative re ports here, that he had incontroverti ble . evidence . of Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen's presence aboard. It is the .first wireless communica tion received from -the Montrose on this side of the Atlantic. .' If correctly interpreted, Scotland; Yard's guess thus . becomes a reality, for since leaving English ports it has been suspected that the Montrose car ried the American dentist sought in connection with the disappearance of his actress wife,: Belle -Elmore, for merly of Brooklyn, N. Y. After the receipt of the message, here. the wireless operator at once be gan sending messages to the Montrose. They are -supposed to have been in structions coming from Ottawa, but nothing of their text could be learned. Quebec, July 28. The following Wireless message was received tonight by the Chronicle from Point Amour: "7:31 P. M. Crippen on board Mon trose inward bound 200 miles east." j The dispatch is presumed to be a wirejess message from the steamer Laurentia. A second wireless mes sage received this evening was from Inspctor Dew. It was addressed to Detective Walsh, and asked him to ob tain leave from the immigration and marine, authorities here for the land ing of Dew at Father.. P6int. The necessary . permit was granted.
