YEAR UNDERWOOD S MAJORITY VOTE Iu North Carolina and Virginia ' of Instructed Delegates.. At- tempt Td Deceive Voters. ' : Washington, IX C.May 27. Senator bankhead. Chairman of the Und.rwood ' National Committee Issued the follow-: ing statement today, as to the result of the Virginia 3 ate convention and the ' election of delegates in North Carolina Saturday. ' - Goverfcnr Wile n baa six ard one half , votes in Virginia and no , more. These were accord d him as a compliment to - aome of his ardent friends in Virginia. These six and a half votes, are- to be given Governor, Wilson on the first ballot, after which the unit rule will be applied in accordance with the rule of the convention. Therefore after the first b.illot Undetwo. d will have the en tire 24 votes from Virginia. Our advicea from every Congression al district in North Carolina shows that Underwood has a majority ' erf the in structed voters i'i that stale. Any oth er statement is a deliberate attempt to deceive and mislead the voters of North Carnlini, and the parties who make it know that I'. is totally incorrect. Mr. Uur.derwood'a headquarters have nev er claimed a vote during the contest that he did not have and -U,i ppln y will ba pursued to '. the end. Shabby "polliiics ha no place in Mr. Under wood's camp. If he cannot win on mer it and the ncord he has made, he doev not deserve success. . , We are far more interested in the success of the Demo cratic party in November than we arc in who shall be nominated at Balti more."

It is understood that, the boat will not be returned to this port on account of the faet that since the BoBrd of Aldermen cut off the appropriation of 25,00 perl month the Naval Reserves have cot! been able ti maintain their share of the 'expense.

FORFEIT HID Fve Thousand Dollars Will be : Forfeited by Outlaws at Greensboro. Greensboro.' N. C, May 28,-The trinl of the Allen gang of outlaws at least a portion of the . allaged court house murderers captured recalls as a fact that S dna Allen, the alleged leader of the band and who,' with bis nephew, Wesley Edwards, is still at large, is due to appiwr before Judge Boyd in United Staces District Court here the tint week fn June. Naturally! Sidna won't appear, and at a result a bond in she sunt of $5,000 bond was re quirt d by Judiie Boyd after Sidna Al- j hft's conviction here on a .counterfeit ing charge. . . An appeal was taken to the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals at Ri hmond and a new trial granted. The bond of $5,000 waa re quired for the defendant's appearance at the next term of court. ' It is not at all improbable that when the 5,000 bond is forfeited and paid in to the gov eminent it will be applied to a purpose other than euatolnary. In fact, it is understood that an effort will be made to have the bond app'y at ones as a re ward for the capture of the man for whose appearance. the bend was made. It la said that Jud-re Boyd would likely favor such a plan and it is believtd that wife the added incentive of $5 000 the capture of Sid'ta Allen would be simply a matter of turn ; that with such a price ei hia head there would be no final es cape for the ling leader and bis outlaw nephew.
