The ostensible reason given during the heated de bate over the matter at the club last night was that Murphy was behind in his dues. Judge Edward F. O'Dwyer, presi dent of the club, who has been leading the fight against Murphy, introduced-' a resolution calling for the elimination of the Tammany leader and the oth ers but that was not formally adopted, as the point was upheld that under the i rules the men were automatically dropped as they had not paid dues for two months. Thomas L Smith, secretary of Tam many Hall, appealed against the rul ing and tendered a check for the money due. When that was refused he asked for a vote. Seventeen mem bers of the board of flovernors were present and they decided against the appeal, 10 to 7. In the. course of the debate Smith said the men named would not submit to such humiliation. "The names were picked out for an obvious purpose," he said, "and we will have them restored to the rolls." Judge O'Dwyer replied that he could give a very good reason for the club's action. "They were dropped," he said, "for the best ItnerestB of the club and the democratic party." Besides Murphy Jamea E. Gaffned, Thomas F.,Foloy, Thomas H. Darling ton and George W. Plunklett were dropped. Raleigh Place of Convention County Conventions Three Weeks Prior to State Convention Raleigh, March 11. Thomas D. Vienna, March 11. Austrian geo graphers came out today in vigorous support of Dr. Felix Koenig in the controversy with Sir Ernest Shackle ton over plans for the rival Austrian and British Antarctic expeditions this year which have aroused strong In ternational jealousies. The council of the Austrian geo graphical society today Issued a state ment declaring that plans of the Aus trian expedition to be commanded by Dr. Koenig were announced in June, 11)13, while those of Sir Earnest Shadjdeton's expedition were publish ed November. Since then, the council says. Sir Ernest's plans have gradually taken definite form, con tinually coming nearer to those of Dr. Koenig.

Thirty-five Hindus, detained on their arrival horj recently and who ob tained their freedom on $500 bonds each, must return to the Philippines, according to a decision by Federal Judge Dooling. He held that all Bin due landed in this country ufter pro curing passports at Manila were aliens and should be deported on the i ground that they were liable to be- jcome public charges.

ONLY MEAGRE DETAILS OF FIRE IN For the past few days, in fact since the first formal political announce ments were made, interest in the local democratic political campaign has centered largely on the possible legis lative ticket that will be selected at the coming primary election. Until today there has not been a single an nouncement for either the state senate or the lower house Of the general as sembly. In this afternoon's issue of The Gazette-News there appears an nouncements by Zebulon Weaver, for the senate; Gallatin Itoberts, for rep resentative number one; and W. Morgan of Black Mountain, for repre sentative number two In the lower house. Interest in the legislative ticket has been due largely to the fact that a great deal of important legislation is to come up at the session of the North Carolina general assembly next spring. This legislation ia to be of such char acter that the democrats of Buncombe county desire to send legislators of the highest qualifications to Raleigh. Kor this reason there has been much dis cussion of possible candidates for these importan pos-itlons. It was stated in this paper a short time age that there was. strong prob ability that Mr. Weaver and Mr. I .! erts would be in the race, although format announcements have come from them only today. No Intimation of Mr. Morgan's candidacy has been made heretofore. The possibilities of It. R. Williams entering the race were removed Monday In a statement issued by him to the effect that he had de cided to make his light fur lhe party this year in the ranks. He intimated in that statement that both Mr. Wea ver and Mr. Roberts would be candi dates and stated that with these ex perienced legislators representing Bun combe county his own .services would nosebe needed in the next general as sembly. Friends of both Mr. Weaver and Mr. Roberts have been urging them for weeks past to again seek- the nomina tions as senator and representative re spectively, but both were averse to making the race. It was urged upon them, however, that the county needs their services more keenly this year than ever before and argued that their records of the past show that they can better represent ihc county in the next general assembly than could any others who might ! presented for the consideration of the democracy of the county. They have llnally acceded to these demands and have formally an nounced themselves as candidates. Mr. Weaver has served two terms in the lower house of the assembly and one in the senate. His work has always been pronounced as most etll clent. Mr. Roberts has represented Buncombe county in the lower house for two terms, and his record likewise has met with the hearty approval of the people of the county. Both men have gained prestige In the assembly that is considered one of the most val uable assets available for the work that is to be done next spring. Mr. Morgan, ex-mayor and a prom inent merchant of Black Mountain, comes out for the llrst time as a can didate for a Buncombe county office. His connections throughout the coun ty, politically and otherwise, are con sidered by his friends to be one of hip strongest assets as a candidate for representative and he Is supported al ready In his candidacy by a big con tingent pf fnrmers snd business men of the county. All three men who announce today are irreproachable democrats and are expected to make strong lace in the approaching primary. , Washington, March 11. General Felix Diaz, who helped Huerta over throw Madero and later fled from Mexico under protection of the fnlted States, returned here today with a party of Mexicans and Americans in terested in Mexico. From what was told the senate for eign relations committee last week by Pedro Delvilar, who accompanied Diaz today, the purpose of the Diaz adherents is to restore peace in Mex ica by a plan that does not recognize Huerta, Carranza, or Villa. Senators said sanction had been asked for a counter revolutionary movement. Members of the party today accom panying Diaz denied they wished the help of the United States In an artped revolution. Senator Shively, acting chairman of the foreign relations committee, said today that while the Mexicans had given the committee some interesting information, no sanction or approval has been given i to any revolutionary movement. In the Dlax party was A. A. Thrown- ! lee, a lawyer and mining engineer of New York, who it developed had re cently asked for a conference between Diaz and Secretary Bryan and Presi dent Wilson. The request was denied. Members of the party declared Diaz had been Invited to confer with a "high official." Consul Simpich- at Nogales, report ed to the state department today that !he had assurances from Carranza that lives and properties of Ameri cans and other foreigners would be j protected and that all molestation of i foreigners would be avoided through j but thc'NQgales district. Carranza Issued orders upon Consul Simpich's complaint under Instrnc itlors" from Secretary Brian protesting ; against rebel depredations on George ; Be-verldge'i ranch and the Gatfabl Hacienda In the Nogales district. Au thorities at Tampico have promised I the immediate release of an American j named Byrd held near there. The Suffragette Arson Squad Bums All Buldings Belong ing to Town of Bulcote Heavy Damage. London, March 11. The damaging of the famous Velasquez painting known as the "Rokeby Venus," in the National gallery by a suffrage will keep tourists from seeing many of England's art treasures during the coining season. The Lord Chamber lain today announecd that the state apartments in Windsor castle will be closed "until further orders." A similar notice was issued by trus tees of the National gallery and of the celebrated Wallace art collection. Kensington palace and Hampton Court palace, which are visited yearly by thousands of foreigners, also closed their doors and the $20,000,000 collec tion of oriental porselains and bronzes, bequeathed to South Kensington mu seum in 1909 by the late George Salt ing has been locked up. Custodians of all public art treas urers were today In a state of panic, as heretofore every fresh suffragette demonstration has been followed by imitators.
