One of the ost Important questions of the con tention arose this morning, . when Budge Thomas A. Jones, a floor man Lter for Congressman Gudger, asked tor a ruling of the chair as to the epresentatlon of -delegates by alter nates. The question was whether or fiot each delegate is represented- by a Certain alternate or whether the rep tesentattve of a candidate In any del ration have the right to select the Jutemate o represent such an absent delegate. Arguments were made by both sides, Gudger men' contending hat it is the spirit of the plan of lirmnlziLtinn that each delegate be (presented by a certain man as alter nate, either by number or by rota Ion In the list The Reynolds and Merrlmon men lined up against this, pleading that the friends of the can lldates are capable of selecting alter nates and are more Interested in nam ng the proper men.' , The chair ruled that the plan of or ganization refers only to the means of electing delegates and alternates and not to the means In which the latter "hall represent the former In case of absence; further that the spirit of the 'Ian Is for each delegate to be repre sented In case of absence and It is up io the remaining delegate to name uch a man. The ruling was adverse to the con tention of the Gudger forces, but no ote of the convention was called to paw on the ruling. The question was brought up because Gen. Theodore Davidson, a MerTlmon delegate wished i return home and It was the desire o know who was to represent him 'hi the floor. The rest of the 455th ballot the first after the convention was called to order at 10:46 o'clock this morn ing. Is' practically unchanged from 'at night. The totals in this ballot fallow: Gudger, 166.26; Harrison .14; Merrlmon, M.OI; Moore, 12.01; Rey nolds 147.12. I Following the 426th ballot last Plight R. R.

Despite Representative Webb's de claration that members of all parties had helped frame the provision, and that it had' the endorsement of Amer ican Federation of Labor officials, Representative Murdock, progressive leader, declared Its meaning was doubtful. If this bill really exempts labor unions from the Sherman anti-trust law, it Is the end of one of the most noted government battles: It It does not we are enacting a legislative trag edy here today.

POLITICS III WINTERS CASE, DETECTIVE SAYS Abel Withdraws From Case Difference of Opinion With Prosecutor. TO BE ABOARD VESSEL Persistent Rumors That Wife And Sons Are on The Ypiranga. Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 2 Coin cident with the sailing of the Ham burg-American steamer Ypiranga from here late yesterday, persistent rumors, originating in Mexico City and brought here by refugees were circulated that Senora Huerta and her four son's were aboard the ship. The Ypiranga cleared for Europe by way of Havana. As she left the harbot the German cruiser Dresden unexpect edly hauled up her anchor and fol lowed to sea. There was a report also that the liner' destination was Puer to Mexico. None of the army or navy officers heard the rumor that somo of the Huorta family were aboard the Ypir anga, until after the steamer had sail ed. There Is no means to verify the report or to get a positive denial. A similar report of a more vague nature was In circulation Saturday, but this the ship's officers and agents denied. There was an element of mystery, hewever, in eight locked staterooms, originally reserved for Dr. Urrutls the former minister of Interior, which were not otherwise disposed of, al though he had proceeded to the Unit ed 8tatcs. According to the report in Mexico City Senora Huerta and her sons went to Puerto Mexico several day ago on a special train escorted by palace guard, boardctl the Ypiranga there and remained In aecluslon during the steamer' stay In this port It la reported also from the capital that Senora Huerta drew from tho bank 1,000,000 peso before she start ad. ' " SHU another report from the capi tal had it that president Huerta him selft had left for Puerto Mexico sev eral days ago In a sleeping car, with train loads of the 20th Infantry ahead and behind. Refugees declare that they passed a train of this natur thl morning on the way from Mexico City and noted that morethan 200 soldiers of the , 29th Infantry were aboard. These report ar generally discred ited her but ar viewed a showing a general belief In th capital that Hu erta may depart Mcretly at any moment New Castle, Ind. June 2 R. H. Abel, detective, who caused the arrest Saturday of Dr. and Mrs. ,W. A. Win ters, 'and W. H. Cooper on charges to commit a felony In connection with the disappearance more Xhan a year ago of Catherine Winters, nine year old daughter of Dr. Winters, late yes terday withdrew from the case. This action followed the failure of W. R. Myers, prosecutor, to file affidavits yesterday In the circuit court charging Cooper and Mrs. Winters, the child's stepmother, with first degree murder. 'Politics have entered between me and tll case," said the detective. "I will have nothing further to. do with It unless the murder affidavits are filed and a special prosecutor appointed." Earlier in the day. Dr. and Mrs. Winters and Cooper were re-arrested oit a circuit court warrant and re leased on bonds of $1000 each. Prosecutor Myers, explaining his failure to file the affidavits against Mrs. Winters and Cooper which had been prepared by Abel, said he wish ed more time to go over the evidence submitted by the detective.

Niagara Falls, June 2. -Denying-that they were deadlocked over th constitutionalist question here, then American and Mexican delegates were waiting today for more information-! in regard to a possible provislonaH psesldont for Mexico. .:, The Mexican delegates reported to their government the attitude of the United States on the constitutionalist participation, but as yet have no knowledge of the attitude of the me-; diators. The Americans have not yet,, finished their conference with the me. . diators on this subject and are wait ing more Information from Washing ton in this connection. Indications were that nothing would be .resolved on the constitutionalist representa tion, though the mediators were re ported to be framing a reply to the last Carranza note. f ' The statement from Durango giv ing the constitutionalist view of , the mediation conference was regarded! here as likely to delay rather than hurry the negotiations. , While no official statement , wni made those who did express theme selvts, pointed to the misunderstand ing which evidently existed In the minds of the constitutionalists ss to the character of the negotiations. The statement, It was said, served to show a lack of Information by the , constitutionalists on- aorao- of Hhe Im portant points being treated here, es pecially as to Just what representa tion In the new provisional govern ment the conference had . intended for them. .There Is some reason for believing the conference,, here ha planned from the first to give thej constitutionalists a large share in the new provisional government but defi nite lnformetlon along this line ha necessarily been withheld, as the view points of the Huerta and Washington governments could not be obtained. Washington, June 2 The semi-official statement from General Oarran za's headquarters at Durango, criti cising the course of the South Ameri can mediators attracted widespread in terest here today. Such remark lrl the statement as the one pointing. out! that the conquerers do not usually per mlt the conquered to dictate term of peace were discussed at length. Hope was not lacking, however, thati differences between the mediators and contsitutionalists could be dissipated. Secretary Bryan was in frequent com munication with the member of tho American mission at Niagara Falls, and they reported that the ''confer ence was progressing satisfactorily". Beyond this he would say nothing: Trained observers today took- the position that even If the negotiation were confined to the United State and Huerta, and if. the constitutionalist continued their campaign in Mexico, there still would, be need of outside helpjto restore normal condition, in the republic. ,' ' .
