Raleigh. June 3. Candidates for
membership itiThe National House of
Representatives, Stateoffices, county
offices in more than sixty counties,
and -legislators are being nominated
today in the first legalized primary
ever held in North Carolina.
The primary virtually was a Demo
cratic primary, as -me Republicans
previously had agreed on a State ticket
headed by Frank R. Linney, of Boone,
for governor. As there were no con
tests for the nomination for state of
fices the Republicans had only the
opportunity of expressing their pre
ference for presidential and vice presi
dent candidates. A heavy vote is fore
cast. Interest centers in the race between
Lieutenant Governor Daughtridge and
.1 xrney General Bickett for the go
ernatorial nomination and the contest
in the second congressional district,
where Representative Claude Kitchin
is opposed for renomination by Cling
man W. Mitchell.
Representative Hannibal L. Godwin,
in the Sixth distrtcX was the only
other candidate opposed for the nomi

because of his disagreement with some
of the policies of the adiminstration
he would not seelt renomination,
Lieutenant-Governor, Auditor " and
Superintendent of Public Instruction
were the only State offices not con
tested for.
A light Republican presidential
vote and a heavy Democratic vote for
Wilson, with a division between Vice
President Marshall and Governor Ma

Because of the length and ar
rangement of the ballot it is expected
that the returns will be late coming

. Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 3.
Capt. Franz von Papon, recalled at
'the request of the United States gov
ernment as military attache of the
German Embassy at Washington, and
who has come to Holland on a secret
mission,. has a purpose which is three
fold, according to the Amsterdam
Telegfaaf. This newspaper does not
mention Capt. von Papen by name but
alludes to him as a "first-class spec
ialist who only recently arrived here
after " covering himself with world
wide fame, in the. exercise of functions
in another neutral country".
Tjbe Telegraaf says that the "spec
ialist", has come here, first, to obtain
infbrniation of military and political
nature; "second, to watbh foreigners
residing or visiting Holland; and,
third, to " endeavor to influence public
opinio nin favor of Germany.
The German "secret information

As the Dispatch was on the- point
of going to press this afternoon thd
voting, after slack balloting,-during
the early part of the day, began to
,give a correct idea of how the vote
J was going. There are sixty-three can-'
didates to receive attention the bal-
lots are long, and as a consequence,
voting is slow.
There is some apprehension felt in
some of the wards that all voters will
not be able to vote by reason of this
J fact.
There is much interest in the Con
gressional situation. Jos, ,W. Little,
Esq., has received encouraging tele
grams from Lumbertony Red . Springs,
Clarkton and other places in the dis
trict. Other Congressional candidates
have workers here.
Locally there seems to be nothing
upon which to base a prediction as
to the candidates' chances. All are
i claiming big majorities, and so far as
anyone knows, one is about as right
as the other.
In the First ward at 1:30 164 had
voted out o fa registration of 436. In
the Second, 230 out of 700. In th9
Third, 250 out of 1151. In the Fourth,
193 out of 399' . I nthe Sixth, 108 out
of 209, making a total of 1,193 out of
a total registration of about 3,500.
Many of those registered, however, are
not in the city, having moved away
month sago, their names remaining
on the books. It is not expected that
a vote of more than. 2,500 will be
polled.
The chances fo rthe city, itcprove
ment election seemed brighter this af
ternoon, thoagh many had voted
against it in t'n; morning. ' ;

MORE EUROPEAN
ARPFOR UNITED STATES
Berlin, June Z. The war, probably
will lead to the further transfer of
Europe's art treasures to the United
States, in the opinion of Prof. Wilhelm
von Bode, general director o f the
Royal Museums at Berlin . Prof, von
Bode gives several reasons; that the
war is' making a great increase in the
wealth of many Americans; and that
the breaking up of several of the great
private collections in America, includ
ing that of the late J. P. Morgan, and
the acquisition of many Of their chic
est pictures by public art museums,
will tend strongly to develop the de
mand for good ajrt works . Prof. Bode
declares that in this way the public
collections of New York, Boston, Wash
ington, and Chicago, together with
dozens of cities not yet idnetified'
with art in an international sense, will'
become fully equal to those of Euro
pean cities.
This fresh demand for art works in
the United States, Prof. Bode says,
will strike Europe at a time when
