LEALPRS WILL RENEW CONTEST Considered Possible That Only Gudger and Reynolds Will Be in the Primary of . , August 15th. JUDGE MERRIMON HAS NOT MADE DECISION County Unit Method Elimi nated From the Resolution Adopted at Waynes ville Convention. There Is a bare possibility today that when the second congressional primary is. held in the Tenth North Carolina djstrlot on August 16 only two candidates will be In the raoe. These will be Congressman James M. Qudger, Jr., and Robert R . Reynolds. They have already made : definite statements to the effect that they will be candidates before ths primary and each has also declared - that he is jnore confident of winning now than ever before. Judge James a. Mem mon stated this morning that, per sonally, he is Inclined not to have anything further to do with the race, but that he has not yet consulted all his friends and is therefore not in a position to make a positive statement one way or the other, waiter ju. Moore is considering the , proposition of cintinulng in the , race, but the consensus of opinion seems to be that he' will not enter. There seems to be little likelihood, that John O.. Ham ton will participate in this fight. ., If there la more than one entry and 10 candidate reoelves a majority vote here will be a second primary ten 'ays after the first one, in which the wo men polling the greatest strength 111 be the only contestants. The prl- lary Will be dlstrlctwlde and the vot ig will be from sunrise to sunset, torn the count of the popular vote he, convention . votes will be appor- loned Just as was done for the con mention lust closed.; The county unit nethod was proposed, but was finally tllmlnated from. the resolution. It this nethod had been adopted the eandl' late carrying any county by a major ty would reoelve the full convention ote ot the county. The cost of the irtmary will be pro-rated among the andldates who participate. ' No new andidates, other than the' five who 'ere before the convention, can enter he race now, it is understood; The plan adopted yesterday by the ongresslonal convention in waynee- Ule to refer back to the voters of the Istrlot the matter of naming a norm ee for the democratic party Is .ivwl one In the state of North Car- Una, no like occasion ever having risen, although ' conventions have een so tightly deadlocked that adj ournments have become, necessary.

SHUSHES TOMPEi Makes Final Answer to Those Who Have Opposed Posi - tion of the Administra . tion on Exemption. SAYS REPEAL NEEDFUL ' TO KEEP FRIENDSHIP Is Sound Policy in Interest of Peace and Commerce He Insists in a Speech , Before Senate. , Washington, JuneS The final an swer of administration forces to the arguments marshalled against repeal of the Panama tolls exemption was made in the senate today by Senator Simmons, who had been a prominent figure in the tolls hearings before the senate lnteroceanic canals committee. The North Carolina senator, urged that the exemption of American caost- wise vessels would be a discrimina tion forbidden by. the binding treaty between the United States and Great Britain, and unwise as a democratic policy. Under present conditions, he pointed out, the Pacific coast trade of the United States, Canada and of South and Central America, is upon a basis of absolute equality, so far as transit across the continent is con cerned. "Does anyone believe," he asked, "that our neighbors to the north and to the south will view with complacen cy, the discriminatory conditions of tolls exemptions for American coast wise ships, following the opening of the canal? Does anyone doubt thai this discrimination, not only against their commeroe, but against their ves sels,'! will arouse antagonism? Does anyone doubt it will not only pre judicially affect, our present friendly relations with them, but will tend a defeat -one of the mala1 objects we. had in view in the construction of this canal, namely to further cement our political i relations and to extend our trade and commerce with the coun tries of this hemisphere? '' "In view of the consequences cer tain to result - from these disc rim- natory rates, is it not apparent, even It we were under no treaty guaranty of equality, that a sound and wise public policy, In the interest of peace and amity and of commerce would dictate that we should not, for small, and to say the least, doubtful advantage deliberately pursue a course which will Inevitably lead. to such dlsasterous consequences to our pollt leal and trade relations with our neigh bors and friends upon this continent, so saying nothing about similar though less actus complications in our commercial and political relation with the other nations of the world?" To stand by the tolls evemptlon law, Senator . Simmons declared was to become the leader among the nations of the world In a reactionary move ment to re-establish the old principle of selfishness and laollatlon which had been supplanted by the doctrine of reciprocal activity. To stand by the law, he added, would not mean war,' hut It would mean that the United States would hear after be confronted by a world' wide publlo sentiment of chargin, dis trust disapproval and resentment. SAYS ANOTHER FORCED IS Washington, Juns . Senor Rlano, the Spanish ambassador, asked Beo- retary Bryan today to (appeal for the protection of Spanish citizens In Tarn pico. According 'to ths ambassador's ad vices, snother forced loan of 117,000 pesos has been demanded by consti tutionalists.
