TiliB morning at Six o'clock In Ral eigh township and at seven in the other townships, the battle of ballots for the supremacy of the democratic party '.in ""Wake county began. This winds up the hardest and bitterest campaign ever waged in this county, and this evening when the votes are counted the question of whether the present officials shall remain in power or give way to a new set will have been settled. The morning opened up with threatening weather, 'the skies being heavily overcast with clouds, hut as . the day grew older the clouds be gan lo disappear, and shortly after eight o'clock the sun fought its way through, the mist and shed hot rays upon the scene of battle. - Each side Is claiming the county from 500 to 1,000. At one o'clock the reports from various precincts show the ring candidates to be in the lead, the indications are that they will carry Raleigh. The county precincts are close, and at this hour it looks as though Raleigh township will decide. In some precincts the vote is heavy, at others light.

Up until noon the regular or ring ticket had a big lead and it looks as though it will carry the township by 400 majority. At eight o'clock the second di vision of the first ward was for the antis 11 to 9. The first division of POPE REFUSED TO LET MERRY DEL VAL GO Rome, June 25 Revelation of the fact that Cardinal Merry Del Val, papal secretary to state, had tendered his resignation to Pope Plus X and that the pontiff had refused to accept it caused a sensation here today. The cardinal's action had not been unex pected, but that of the pope caused great surprise In view of the critical situation now existing in the relations between the Vatican and Germany and Spain. '.--. ; That the pope will remain firm in his support of the secretary was made evident by the words with which he rejected the resignation. They were: "I would rather renounce the papacy than lose the services of Merry Del . val. - All this is taken to lndlcatqthat the Vatican will be firm In Its attitude to ward Spain and that there will be no modification of Its stand on the protest against the Spanish government's re ligious program, despite the pending concordat negotiations. The Vatican appreciates the fact that Premier Canalejas of Spain would give the papal power an opportunity to re cede but with Merry Del Val at the helm It Is certain that the utmost firmness will be shown at all stages. No further , action will be taken on Germany's protest against the ency clical.

White to vote for United States Senator William A. Lorimer, are in a dead lock. The defense gave up hope of a verdict; of acquittal today and de clared a disagreement would result.

GORE i i - , .McElurray Says There Is No Troth In Charge McMutTay Suy That Stiitenient Made by Gore Is Conglomeration of His, Declares It lo be a Political Move, Representative McGuire Also De nies Charges. (By Lead Wire to Tlie Times) Washington, June 25 J. F. Mc Murray, of pklahoma, in the interest of whose law firm at Sou.h McAlester, Okla., Senator Gore, or that state, charged in the senate yesterday that certain members or ex-members of the senate and house of representa tives tried to Induce him to accept a bribe so that certnin legislation re garding Chicasaw and Choctaw lanes could be passed, when seen by a re porter of the National News Associa tion this morning said: v "Senator Gore's declarations In the senate yesterday were a conglomera tion of lies lies without the slli!it esf foundation. The only reason I can attribute for the Oklahoma sena tor's remarks Is that we were di vided in opinion as to now certain contracts made regarding the Indian lands, of which I have charge, should be passed on. "Senator Gore wished legislation enacted whereby congress could put its o. k. on all these contracts. : It has been ray contention and that, of numerous other people interested ;u the land and Oklahoma affairs gener ally that the 'signatures or president Taft and of Secretary of tne :nier;or Ballinger would suffice to complete these contracts. This, in the opinion of the majority of land holders and others would save time and do away with the usual 'red tape' generally necessary In anything with which congress has any dealing. "I have represented the Choctaws and Chickasaws in their land affairs for many years. Th:s statement, charging bribery seems to me to be nothlhg more than a malicious politi cal move on'thii ;-nrt of the Oklahoma senator to klfl'Oome legislation to which he is opposed. It Is either that?, or that he wants to make a play to the gallery, upholding hlmseir to the people of his state as a perfect specimen of honesty. As for the statement that I or anybody else would realize millions out of the transaction, that is too absurd to talk about. It makes me mae to talk about the affair. Can I excuse my self by saying that it is an infamous He without any cause?" : Representative McGuire, of Okla homa, whose identity has been indi cated in connection with Senator Gore's charges, was at the white house this morning for tne purpose of paying his respects to President Taft before leaving for Oklahoma. When asked about the charges made by Senator Gore, he said: "I know that I am the member of the house that Senator Gore had In mind when he spoke on the floor of the senate yesterday. There Is noth ing for me to fear In this matter. My hands are clean. The provision 1 of fered covering this matter will stand investigation. It was a compromise, agreed to by the two factions in Okla homa interested in this fight. The compromise provides that these claims must be o. k.'d by the presi dent of the I'nited States and by the secretary of the Interior before being allowed. "Senator Gore is trying to ma'.te political capital. He has a tight on for re-election to the senate. He is a personal enemy of Ivfr, McMurray and believes that McMurray wilt fight him for his senatorial seat, a condition that I, myself, believe will arise. There are two factions ;n Oklahoma who are interested in this matter. They are at swords points. I am not with either. They are all my friends and I have steered a middle-of-the-road course." Senator Gore today made public the correspondence between himself antl Attorney General Wickersham last month in the relation to the senator's protest against the validating of the McMurray contract with the Croctaws and Chickasaw Indians. In his letter the senator says that he opposed the contracts, because the oiginlal contract with the councils was Illegal and rls- afiproved of hy former President Roose. velt and because the contracts are un necessary and unjust.
