While no definite figures are avail

Miss Harriet Mills to be
Probably as Candidate for Secretary of State
SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 5. Miss Harriet May Mills, of Syracuse,
has been unanimously decided upon
ing the democratic state convention for the place on the state ticket
which the men leaders are understood to have agreed shall go to a
woman. ,'hV;.v- -.-:'--y' :,'. '
' The selection of Miss Mills, who is thus likely to be the first woman
candidate for a state office of either, of the major parties in this state,
was made at a meeting of the women ; called by Mrs. John Sherwin
Crosby. ; h--; . ':'.'h; " . .. v;- ' - -
A committee, headed by Mrs. Crosby and Mrs. Ella O'Gorman Stanton,
of the Bronx called upon state Chairman William W. Farley and urged
the selection of MIss Mills for a place on the ticket. The particular place
was not mentioned, but it is generally understood that Miss Mills will
be considered for secretary of state. :
Mr. Farley was reported to have said that it was for the women to
select a candidate and-that the men would probably do their part. As
the convention will not designate, candidates, the choice of Miss Mills is
not- final. The present plan 13 to enter her in the primaries, but it, is
believed that a general agreement w:il be brought about by which she
will receive the support of the regular democratic organ'zations.
i Miss Mills has long been active in .work for woman suffrage, was for
merly head of the New York Woman Suffrage Association, atid was a
delegate at large to the democratic national convention. Her candidacy
is designed to appeal to women owing to the discontent among them
over, the designation of Senator James W. Wadsworth, jv., for renomi

IF
TO FIGHT CAPITAL
Tenants are Banding Together
and Would Intimidate Those
Who Would Oust Them
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug. '5. In seeking
to have their tenants restrained from
alleged intimidation of prospective
tenants, Max and Rose Cutes, land
lords of a Brooklyn apartment house,
today filed papers with Supreme
Court Justice Squires asserting that
a "soviet" of twelve residents had
been established there to carry on a
vociferious warfare against "capitalist-rule."
' .
At one of the alleged "soviet" cele
brations on the sidewalk in front of
the house, the Cutes complained, a
soap box orator shouted that "capi
talists should be strung up to a tele
graph pole and then taken down and
tortured until dead."
Specific acts of which the "soviet"
tenants are accused include hanging
of "tenant strikes" posters from the
fire-escap? and every window and
intimidation of new tenants by
threats of throwing out bodily both
iem and their household goods.
Butchers, bakers and other shop
men were said to be included "as
capitalists" by the soviet" which was
alleged to be .ruled by a captian.

guised anxiety is felt over the Rus-;
sian-Polish situation. One high affi
cial said:
"The situation is as grave as that
in August, 1914."
Warefare is Threatened.
Statements printed by extremist
newspapers here htat Great Britain
has threatened to declare war against
Soviet Russia if the Bolsheviki ad-j
vance into Poland is not halted, have
not been confirmed in aufioritative
circles.
While it is generally agreed the
allies are taking an emphatic stand
upon the terms sent by Earl Curzon,
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs, to George Tchetcherin, Bol
sheviki foreign minister, on July 20,
in which he stated that if the Soviet
government made war upon the Po
lish people the allies would assist the
Poles, nothing reliable is known
which would justify the assumption
that such assistance would take the
form of a declaration of war, with all
such a declaration would involve.
May Declare Blockade.
In military circles here the view ia
taken that the allies principal wea
pon against the Bolsheviki, if it is
decided to oppose them, will be the
blockade, and that the Poles will, if
possible, be given supplies. Doubt
is expressed, however, as to the pos
sibility of conveying supplies to the
Polish army in the event that the
Bolsheviki capture Warsaw and close
the corridor to Danzig. In this case
a blockade might be the only means
of helping Poland.
