Prefect Manuel Bo nlla. This Is the Arm belief of the Central American colony In Mobile members of which were stirred by tha salting from Mobile yesterday of the Norwegian stesmer Utsteln, with 111 eases of ammunition and other war material. Although the Utsteln cleared for Blueflelds, Nicaragua, the war mate rial was shipped by E. Abedle, Bon Il ia's representative at New Orleans. Abadle signed the ship's manifest and himself was a pasoenger on the Ut steln. A remark dropped by Captain Ol sen of the Utsteln, which cleared from this port at 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing, started the report that the Ut steln will makssa Honduran port with her cargo which Is reported to belong to a citisen of Honduras. As the local customs officers were handing Captain Oslen hi clearance papers, .the captain asked what port he was cleared for. He was told rtluetleliis, Nicaragua: ' The captain then asked, "Must I go thtre?" an he received the answer, "You had better." Attempts to get- In touch with the Honduras consul at Mobile, Ernesto Feltcs, for confirmation of the rumors were futlk-, it being lesrned that ths local consul had gone to New Orleans to be absent for a week.

Aycook Still Has His Grasp on tlie People Lee 'Won Out Hand j: somely Convention Notes. ' . - " ".A " ' Staff correspondence of The Garette- News. -.'.' - GHARIXJTTB. N. C, July 18. - The harmony of the state democratic convention which, adjourned Thursday night - was a fitting climat to the stormy sessions which have featured various county and district conventions in many parts of the state this summer. The nomi- ' nation of Judge W. R. Allen of Golds- boro for associate. justice of the Su preme' court Is regarded as a deserv ed tribute to that gentleman's ability as a Jurist. Recent political history seems to point out that an appoint- ment. especially to a judicial office, is a serious handicap to the appointee in seeking a nomination at the hands of the people. This fight, however, was not . one In which the Kltcrfln Craig lines so tautly drawn two - ' ' years ago figured so conspicuously. , There were numbers of men at this convention who, strong friends and admirers of Governor Kltchln two years ago and now, for that matter, threw their influence and support to Judge Allen. .The ousting of Judge Manning has been taken In some quarters as a rebuke to the adminis tration, but as such It does not seem , really to be. One of the grounds of attack upon Judge Manning was that Governor Kltchln should not fill judl- '' cial offices by paying political debts (Manning having been Kltchln s man ager). Victor 8. Bryant made a splen did speech In presenting the name of Judge Manning and In his speech there was a note of defense, he de- ,. claring that Judge Manning had never accepted a fee from the American To- bacuo company, and he argued that the office should not be taken from Judge Manning.' . ; ; - '"' . A Crime to Appoint Your Friend? - During his speech he exclaimed:, ': When in North Carolina did It be come a crime to appoint your politi cal friend to office In place' of your political enemy T - ' Ex-Oovernor Aycock In his nomi nation speech of Judge Allen declar ed, as the great cheering ceased: "I am entering into no debate, no acri mony. Nobody will be accused of be- ing the child of an enemy.. We are children of a common mother the great democratic party of North Car olina." , At his first mention of the name of Judge Allen there was a storm of applause and the men waved their hats again. Cameron Morrison of Charlotte In seconding Judge Manning's nomina tion made a line speech, In which he had a come back at Ayceck: "I con cur in the noble sentiment of the great ex-governor that we are all the ' sons of a noble mother, the demo cratic party, and this being ao, Judge Manning, as a brother, ought to have the nomination. In all .the history of North Carolina no man has ever fail ed of nomination when appointed by a governor." At this there were some manifestations of disbelief among the delegates. -:.' I say no man appointed to the Supreme Court bench has ever been defeated by the party," he addtd. Judge Allen's personal popularity was, in a measure, a deciding factor. Leo's Nomination Plea sea. The nomination of W. T. Lee of Haywood county to succeed Hon. Samuel L. Rogers of Macon county was made on the first ballot,- and the ; vote he received In this three-cornered fight Is a great compliment to him. , Both of his opponents. ex-Judge A. W. Graham of Granville county and, John H. Pearson of Burke county, are men of ability and worthy opponents. ' but the aentiment was that Lee de served It and the West should have the place. The map of the state, got ten out by Mr. Lee's friends, doubtless was a great factor. Walter E. Moore, the permanent chairman, presided In a most accept able manner and he was warmly con gratulated on his handling of the big convention. Progrwmlve Platform Adopted. Two features of the democratic platform deserve special mention. For the first time the party went on rec ord as favoring the establishment of more sgrioultural schools and the In troduction of courses of agriculture In the common schools of the state. This is the direct outcome of a pro gressive campaign for better agricul tural methods waged by the depart ment of agriculture and several mem bers of the press. Ths other highly significant psra-V graph was that favoring every move ment looking to the material better ment of the people through Internal Improvements and (In' the lansnsge of the platform), "wi particularly ap prove of the wots In this behalf as done by the North Calollna Good Roads association." It Is likely that this may be paving the way for state aid In construction of the system of hlghwsys proposed by the Good Rosds association.
