CCC Pll I U I All II luDU LU UnLL U National Convention of New Party Opens at Chicago August 5. New York, July 8. A call to the people of the United States who are In sympathy with the national pro gressive movement to semi delegates to a national convention to open in Chicago, August 5, was given out yes terday afternoon by U. S. Senator Dixon of Montana, the Roosevelt cam paign manager. The call is signed by members of the committee chosen at a meeting held in Chicago and also includes signatures of Roosevelt fol lowers in forty states. "The territories have no place in a national convention and will not be considered." declared Senator Dixon, in commenting upon the signatures. "As for the mia.-ing eight states, the most of them probably will send dele gates although they have not taken part in the call. Maine, for instance, postponed definite action because there is now a strong fight on in the prima ries, with the sympathy running in favor of the progressive movement. Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas and Nevada probably will take part In the convention. Mississippi and South Carolina may possibly be unrep resented, "Bach state will be expected to se lect Its delegates by Its own para phernalia. The representation will be cut down to just one-half of previous convention. This was considered ad visable since this convention Is to be notably a deliberative body and will certainly be composed of a class of men altogether different from those who usually attend conventions. "In all probability the convention will adopt the name National Progres sive for the new party. Thus far 1.0 issues have been authoritatively stat ed." The Call 1 Suubstam "To the people of the United States, without regard to past political dif ferences, who through repeated be trayals realize that today the power of the crooked political bosses and of the privileged clashes behind them la so strong in the two old parties real interests of our country can come out of either; "Who believe that the time has come for a national progressive move ment a nation-wide movement on no-sectional lines, so that the people may be served in sincerity and truth by an organization unfettered by obli gation to conflicting interests; "Who believe in the right and ca pacity of the people to rule them- selves, and effectively to control ail - . ...... . who hold that only through social and industrial justice, thus secured, t an honest prosperity find permanent protection; 'Who believe that government by the few tends to become, and has in fact become, government by the sor did influences that control the few; Who believe that Daly through the movement proposed can we obtain in the nation and the several states the legislation demanded by the modern Industrial evolution; "Who hold that the commandn. nt delivered at Sinai, 'thou shalt not steal, applies to politics as well as to business; "To all in accord with these views a call Is hereby Issued by the pro visional commltte under the resolu tion of the mass meetln gheld in Chi cago on June 22 lust, to send from each statu a number of delegates whose votes In the convention shall count for as many votes as the state shall have senators and representa tives in congress, to meet in conven tlo nat Chicago on the 6th day of Au gust, 1012, for the purpose of nomi nating candidates to be supported for the positions of president and vice president of the United State.

General Telex and Gen eral Rabago, in command of two brig ades of cavalry, entered the city a short time before, but were Immedi ately dispatched northwort toward Caaas Orandes, to head off the fleeing rebels. To the number of foreign flags raised many dnys ago by foreign resi dents who feared that a season of loot would follow the rebel retreat and evacuation, were added hundreds of Mexican banners, giving the city a holiday arpeet. The entry to Huerta s army reduced the high nervous tension under which foreign residents had lived ever since rebel reverses In this section began'. The same people who until a week ago were loud In their protestations of friendship for General Oroxco and his ragged and undisciplined army stood In the streets, applauding the victori ous General Hucrta and his columns of regulars with shouts of "viva Mad ero."

Although the party to be formed at Chicago next month is being referred to as tho progreaMve party, the prohi bitionists point to the fact that the new organisation iiaa not been chris tened and say they are entitled to use the new name if they choose. "The name 'Pmhlblllen party Is an unfortunate one for us," said Charles R. Jones, chairman of the national committee today. "It la not a progres sive name and does not truly reflect thu party's character.

Stockholm, July 8. The United Stales scored well in today's opening of the Olympic games. Tile standing broad Jump, in Mcb Piatt Adams and Ben Adams of New York captured sec ond ami third places gave occasion for raising of two American Hags on the end ol the stadium. In the 100 meter relay race, the United States team was disqualified for over-running. A world's record was created by J. K. Meridith of Mercershurg acad emy in the final of the 800 meters flat race today. He made the distance In 1 minute 51 9-10 seconds. Alirian W.

M. C. A. captured the linal of the 100-meters dash, while James Thorpe of the Carlisle Indian school, won the pentathlon, a series of five events. The stars and stripes achieved a triumph never before witnessed on an international athletic field. Three flagstafl's are erected in the Stock holm stadium where the colors of the different nsrlons scoring first, second and third in the final contest of each event are noisted. When the 100-meters sprint, the event most honored on athletic fields everywhere, had finished, the American flag went up on the flrst staff, on the second and on the third, Craig, A. T. Meyer, Irish-American A. C, and D. F. Llp pincott. University of Pennsylvania, were the men they represented. Craig's time, 10 4-5 seconds, equals the Olympic record. Only one other number of the program was conclud ed yeste'nay. That was the pentath lon, which was intended to be a test of all round prowess. When this, Lelfcnt was Included In the Olympic games conservative old timers, both English and Americans, who hereto fore had dominated the field sports regarded it with suspicion as a trick of the newcomers to gain points which were not contemplated in the original program. The United States got the lions share of the glory from that also. At Its conclusion the first and third staffs floated American flags and the second Norway's. The Indian, Thorpe, hy his victory won his position as the legitimate successor of Martin J. sneriuan as an all-round athlete. Of those who entered this competition the four Americans, Thorpe, Urimdcga, Don- oghue and Menaul started In all the events and stayed to the end with the Norwegian Hie, the Canadian Ijiikeman, and the Swede Wleslander. The semi-final heats of the 800 meters and the tryoute for the run ning high Jump put the Americans In the position of practically owning these events, six 'epresentatlves of the United States qualifying for the finals In both competitions.

NOMINEE WON'T GO TO COMMITTEE MEET Finds That It Is Not Custom ary for Candidates to At tend Such Func tions. Sea Girt, July 8. Governor Wilson today definitely declared that he would not go to the meeting of the democratic national committee at Chicago because it was not customary for party nominees to attend sueh functions, and said Robert S.

The New Jersey delegation to Hal timore iB to visit the governor today. It was said former Senator Smith would not be among the visitors. The governor was told Smith had said he had not received an invitation and knew nothing more of the matter than he had redd in the newspapers. fo this the governor replied that he had asked the chairman of the dele-gs'-ioj to Invite every delegate and under the impression the chair man had told mm he had done so. Smith and the governor clashed over one of the New Jersey senatorshipa. but it Is reported peace is in sight. Governor Wilson said last night that he probably would not go to Chi cago, as he had intended to do, to at tend the o ganization meeting ol the new democratic national committee on July 15. His promise of several days to attend was given, he said, un der the impression that the presence of the mmintc on such occasions was always required. Since then he salil he has found that such was not the case. Should the governor hold to his present plan, Robert S. Hudspeth, the New Jersey committeeman and hfs old time friend, will be commissioned to voice the governor's view at Chi cago, and probably to convey to tho committee the name of the governor's choice for chairman of the national committee. House Leader Underwood's invita tion to the governor to confer with him concerning legislation pending and prospective during the remainder of the present session of congress, prob ably will result In a meeting between the two at an early date. The gover nor said that he hoped soon to see both Mr. UnderWood 'and Speaker Clark but had not at present an ap pointment to see either. Governor Wilson spent a busy day Sunday. He rose late and drove to Spring Lake in an automobile to hear a sermon by the Rev. A. W. Halsey, president of the Princeton class of '88, of which the governor was a member. After the services, Gover nor Wilson brought the preacher home to dinner. During the after noun hundreds of visitors flocked to the governor's summer home. Wil liam G.

So numerous have become the visi tors that the governor has had but little time to answer, his mail. He has made it a point to see all comera Hereafter, he said, he would see no visitors who call merely to pass the time of day. until after 2 o'clock In the afternoon. Meanwhile a rapid stenographer will- take his dictation, at as many words a minute ns the governor can articulate. There are nearly 10,000 unan . "red letters a.d telegrams and the pile Is growing. Senator Kern of Indiana spent an hour and a half at the governor's cot tage last night. When he left he said he had talked with the governor upon campaign Issues, the plan of campaign and the national committee chairmanship. "I told thr governor," he said, "that I would not support for nation al chairman any politicians connected with the old political machine. The kind ol man we want Is of the type of A. Mitchell Palmer or William F. Mcromhs. In other words, we want a man who Is In the full confidence of Governor Wilson." "How would McCombs suit ? " he wns asked.
