(By Leased Wire to The Times.) ' New York, Sept. 22 Basing- thoir claim upon the result of .primaries al ready held In this.state and estimating more carefully upon the few remaining ones, leaders of the Roosevelt progres sives today revised their figures and Issued the claim that Colonel Kooseyelt will have 524 votes In the republican Jtate convention at Saratoga and not 509 as was predicted yesterday. This counter claim was based upon the unexpected defeat of the Old Guard in Schenectady county and other losses sustained by the faction which is supporting Vice President Sherman for the temporary chairman of the state convention. William Barnes, Jr;, leader of the militant faction of the reactionaries, declared today that his cause had not even suffered temporary ecljpse; I still maintain," said ho, "that Mr. Sherman will have a good working ma jority in the convention. We have gone carefully over all the returns which are In up-to-date and see no cause for alarm." Five hundred and eight delegates is a majority in the convention. Pro gressive leaders claim that of the 934 delegates already elected to the state convention, 485 are for the colonel and 19 are doubtful leaving 450 for Mr. Sherman. But the progressives also us pert that of the 61 delegates yet to be chosen, 39 will be for Roosevelt and only 22 for Sherman. On the- other hand, , the henc hmen of the Barnes-Woodruff -Wadsworth com bination claim that Mr? Sherman will get all of the doubtful counties in which elections to be held and others which are now claimed by progressives. Old Guard leaders do' not go in for statis tics. They content ' themselves : with umaklrig claims and predicting that the IpnnvfinHnn will lana Alia. if tlin miisf famous bolds.ln history. A feature of all the elections bed throughout the state is the enthusiasm for President Taft. Practically every county has In dorsed President Taft's administration but following the expressed wish of the president no definite mention was made as regards the president's suc cessor. County Chairman Lloyd C. Griscom was elated today over the unexpected victory in Schenectady county which gave Colonel Roosevelt 11 unexpected votes in the convention. "The Schenectady result is an inter esting straw to show how the wind is blowing," said Mr. Griscom. It was a great blow to the Old Guard a greater blow that Mr. Sherman's loss in Utiea coming as it does directly in Barnes own congressional district. Progressive leaders predicted that if tho convention were held today Col onel Roosevelt would control 524 dele gates. There are hints from the Old Guard headquarters, however, that the colonel ' may not have plain sailing In holding together his delegations. On the other hand the progressives ex press themselves as confident that whatever bolting is done will be toward them rather in the other direction. Nevertheless, both sides admit that the fight In the convention will be bitter and hard. ROOSEVELT ANXIOUS. Wants to Confer With Lesser Leaders of Brooklyn. (By Leased Wire to The Times.)

SAYS IT WAS Chief Stallings Said It Was Lewis Who Fired the Shot The Wounded Officer Stated That il Mas Aorninn Lewis Who Fired the Fatal Shot The Wife Says it Was Lewis The Negr; Has XH lteen Informed of Stalllnas' IH'atb. ' All doubts as to who fired the shot that caused the death of Chief of Po lice htiillings were dispelled by the statement made by the t-iiicf a short time before-his death, according to the lollowing which appeared in the Richmond Virginian: . "Chief of Police J. M. Ktallings, of Spring Hope, N. C, died at the Johnston-Willis sanitarium at 11:30 o clock Wednesday morning from the effects of a gunshot wound which he sustained Sunday night while at tempting to arrest Norman Lewis, a negro, residing near that place, on a warrant charging hini with selling liquor illegally. He was in a semi conscious condition for some hours bet ore he passed away, and had noth ing to say of the shooting in his dy ing moments. The body will probab Iv be shipped home Wednesday even ing by way of tiie Atlantic Coast Line. '. '. I J he fact that one of his lungs was pierced by shot from the gnn which tiie negro used caused the chief to develop pneumonia soon after his ar rival here Mnday night, , and it was this trouble that hastened his death, as frequently' happens in such cases. 'Tuesday.'. afternoon the authori ties at Spring Hope 'phoned to the sanitarium' to ascertain from Chief fallings' whether he was shot by the negro or his wife, who was in the cabin with him when the chief ap peared on tUe scene. It appears that the negro, after being captured at Henderson, N, C, Tuesday morning, declared that his wifeand not him self, had shot the chief as lie attempt' ed to get into the cabin. Chief Stall ings. when apprised of the negro's loi v. denied it most emphatically, decalring that there was no doubt in ins mind that Lewis did the shooting, even though the lights in the house were put out suddenly as he entered. 'Tne chief was interviewed regard ing the matter by Dr. Murat Willis who immediately informed the Spring Hope authorities as to his statement. ' The surgeons at the sanitarium attempted no operation upon the chief, owing to the critical nature of his Injuries,.' the larger part of the load of B. B. shot having lodged in his lett chest and a part in his left arm. "it was noted that the chief was spitting blood. when he was received at: the sanitarium, and it was this svmptoni that gave, the doctors a fore warning of pneumonia. ' Chief Stallings was regarded as a tearless and courageous officer. There is little doubt that his Slayer will pay tne extreme penalty on the gallows." The Wife Says it Was Lewis. W hen informed that her husband accused her of firing the fatal shot, Lewis' wife entered a flat denial and said that Lewis himself fired the shot. Does Xot Know of the Death. Lewis, who is in Wake -county jail for sale-keeping, has not yet been in formed of Chief Stallings' death. This action was taken by the sheriff because he did not care to render more desperate the already bad man. CIUNK AT WHITE HOUSE. Says He Was Robbed of $40,000,000 and His W ife.
