INSTRUCT FOR HUGHES IN KINGS.The Republicans of the 7th Election District of

th» 12th Assembly District of Kings passed resolu-tions last night instructing their district delegatesto vote for Representative William M. Caldcr andAlfred E. Vms as delegates to th» Ch'.cago con-vention, and requesting them to vote and work forth« nomination of Governor Hughes.

The resolutions say that "such qualifications ashe possesses are necessary for the maintenance ofth» dignity of the high office of the President ofth« United States and for the proper conduct ofthe affairs ofstate of this great nation."

In the CTtli Frank Brookiield. backed hy a lot offormer Parsons rr.eii. is fighting Alderman Brown,

\u25a0who only recently came into the district leader-ship. The Brookfieid people are supporting Nicho-las Murray Putler as a candidate for delegate to

the Chicago convention agalrst Congressman Par-

sons. In th» 29th the I^au»crbach men. assisted byFrank Hendrirk. at^ making things hot for JohnH<*nry Hammond, the Parson* leader. Mr. Ham-mond in demonstrating that he is a fighter. Jle

The hardest ftghl of al!. perhaps, is in the 13thCongress District— Mr. Parsons's own. This is along, narrow district, reaching from lower Fifthavenue nearly to Harlem. Here the Odell men ar«putting in theit best licks. Seoble. a new man. Isfighting Hackett in the uth. the lower edge of the

13th Congress District. Just north of him George

R. Manchester, former secretary of the countycommittee, is manaeing the battle against ex-As-

semblyman Prentice. The Odell men claim the en-

tire negro vote in this district.

In the 10th Congress Distikt control depends onthe result of the primaries in the 6th and 10thAssembly districts, where "Sam" Koenic and Fer-dinand Eidman are the leaders. Koenig is pretty

nure to win in the 6th. Pegnam is giving Kidmana hard tussle In tho 10th.

The Parsons men control the Sth Congress Dis-trict, made up of Staten Island, all of the Ist and,parts of the 2d. M and sth Assembly districts.Borough President Cromwell of Richmond is thestate eommitteeman. Huscn, of the Ist; Levenson,

of the L'd. and March, of the 3d. are Odell men.At least Mr. Lever.son is not enthusiastically forParsons. The Odell men say that after the pri-maries they will control tile Congress district andbounce Cromwell.

The opportunity gfives ex-<;over:u>r Oiiell achance for skilful manivuvring, and he is keepinghis lieutenants busy day and night. While the

friends of President Parsons of the county com-mittee and State Chairman Woodruff do iu>t admitthat tlie Odell men w:.l gain an additional Con-gre!«s district, they admit that the Odell inon ar»putting up a good Hgiii and that some of the dis-tricts wiil be won by a dose margin. Kx-GovernorOdell has not been eoawptemMS in the campaign.

Nor has L«emuei E. yuigt;- But the Parsons menhave discovered that the generalship Is by the for-mer Governor.

The Odell men claim control of thirteen Congressdistrict!" in the state. Assuming that they havethese. If they could get six more they would con-trol the state organization. The friends of StateChairman Woodruff concede the Odell men onlyeight districts. Most of tne- contests are In the

particular Assembly districts which hold the bal-ance ol power in Congress districts. In most ofthe Congress districts there are three Assemblydistricts, and In many of these Congress districtsthe Odell men control at least one Assembly dis-trict.

The Odell men are fighting the Parsons men Intwelve Assembly districts for control at the pri-maries on Tuesday. The aim of the Odell men Isnot so much to obtain control of ten of the twelveAssembly districts as to pain three or four state

committeemen. Control of the Assembly districtconventions, which elect delegates to the state con-vention, means control of the Congress districts.The Congress district is the basis of representa-tion in both the state committee and national con-vention.

ODELL-PABSONS FIGHT

TO ELECT PORTO RICAN DELEGATES.San Juan, Porto Rico. March 25.—Delegates of

th* Republican party, representing every town In

the island. ar» arriving here to take part in theconvention to-morrow. called for the purpose offleeting two d legate* to the national convention.The lead* have not been Instructed for any na-tional candidate.

It was announced last nicht that Mr. Bryanwould speak at the Democratic state convention onApril 14 In this city.

Those who voted for Bryan were Mr. Croker,

John R. Dunlop. Henr;, litelnert. Thomas U Keit-ner. (leorpe Khr'-t. jr. .la acs Shevlln. John W.Keller and Mr. Tox. Those opposed included kn-

drev FlWlfllllSll, Cord Meyer. Justice M. Warley

Platzek and Deputy City Chamberlain John H.CanwbelL

Fifteen governors were present on Tuesday mgnt

when Richard Croker. jr.. a personal friend of Mr.Bryan, asked that an invitation he extended to theNebraskan. A vote was taken, resulting in a tie—

7 to 7. Then Mr. Croker made a personal appealto President Fox on the ground that Mr. Bryan

was the commanding figure in Democratic nationalpolitics and that It would look mean for the clubto withhold an invitation. Mr. Fox finally voted inthe affirmative.

Captures Imitation to DemocraticClub Dinner After Long Struggle.By a vote of S to 7 the Board of Governors of

the Democratic Club decided on Tuesday to inviteWilliam .1. Bryan t.- speak at the Jefferson Day

dinner of the dub at the Hotel Knickerbocker onthe night of April 1!. The deciding vote was castby President Kox after a debate. The details ofthe action of the club did not leak out until yes-

terday.

The other speakers will be Woodrow Wilson.president of Princeton University; Senator Sim-mons, of North Carolina, and Booalor Owens ofOklahoma. Governor Johnson was invited, but hehas another engagement.

BRYAN WINS AT LAST.

The friends of Senator Saxe are' quietly groom-Ing him as a candidate for the Mayoralty nomina-tion next year, and this adds interest to the out-

come of the battle. The Odeil men control one Inrge

district— "Abe" Grater's, the 17th—and It" Sax*beats Douglas and Mack in the loth the control ofthe Congress district will go to OdeO and ColonelGruber will succeed Mr.;Douglas as state com-mltteeman. \

«nd Frown and Prentice say that they are sure ofvictory.

Another struggle Is that in the loth District,

where two avowed champions of Governor Hughes,

William Harris Douglas and Senator Martin Saxe,

are candidates for delegate to the Chicago conven-tion. Th.' Saxe men are receiving assistance from

the anti-Parsons men in the district. If Saxe winshe undoubtedly willmake the most of his successto fight President Parsons.

From a Criticism in the"

MoscowZeitung"

"Last Tuesday a very large and selectaudience assembled at the Conservatory lo at-tend the demonstration of the newest improvedThemodist Pianola.

"Besides different piano solos from Chopin,Mendelssohn. Saint-Saens, which were splendidlyrendered, we listened to the lovely Hummel andGrieg A Minor Concertos, both being accom-panied by the ( )rchestra.

"We have already taken opportunity toemphasize the advantages of the Pianola. Itis difficult to believe with mrhai unlimited abilitythe nuances are brought forth by the Pianola,how perfectly all the rhythmical changes of thetempo are in the power of the performer, andfinally that c:rry simgle melody tone, whetherin the treble or bass, is given exact ly the de-sired accent.

"7 //t' audience greeted nil renditions withan ever gro-iving applause."

Our Representative at Moscow, Russia,writes

"The concert just given in the large Hallof the Conservatory of Moscow, proved to bethe biggest thing- of the kin<J we have everdone. There were 3.000 people present, andthe audience was wonderfully enthusiastic.

"Ienclose program herewith, which you willsee contains the C/ric£ and Hummel Concertosfor Orchestra and Rubinstein's Concertos fortwo pianos, the solo part in each case beingplayed with the Pianola. Ialso played accom-paniments for three songs with the Pianola.

"The demand for Pianolas here is very greatand is constantly increasing. Even the Pianolawith which Iplayed at the big concert was soldbefore we left the Hall.

"Please find enclosed an add.tional order tothe one you already have for Themodist Pianolas

Steck Pianola Pianos. It is of utmostimportance that all of our shipments be hurriedforward ivith greatest possible despatch."

Rockaway, which includes the Itb Ward of tli^Borough of Queens, where th-> friends of BoroughPresident Hermel willflght those of Joseph Cassldy,leader, at the primaries on Tuesday, ennounced hisobjections yesterday to the declaration of the Ber-mel men that It was through the efforts of theBorough President that the magistrate was ap-pointed to the bench by Mayor McCiellan.

in a statement which ho sent out Magistrate Gil-roy said that representations had been made tothe electors of the district which showed that hisappointment was due to politicalInfluence. He saMthai this was untrue, and that he was appointeddespite tho opposition which was brought by the

Borough President.It Is not expected that the primaries will be

fought with any groat enthusiasm, asi both Hidesare awaiting the fall election, when the actual po-litical war willbe carried on.

Speaker of Louisiana House SaysHe Is Choice of Both Faction*.

Joseph W. yarns. Speaker of the LouisianaHouse of Representatives, said yesterday thatthere was no Taft sentiment in the South. "TheRepublicans of the South." said he. 'both blackand white, are In reality for one man and for on«man only, and that man Is Charles E. Hughes,

Governor of the State of New York."For the last twenty years Mr. Ilyarrfthas been a

member of the Louisiana House of Representa-tives, and, although a Democrat, he says he hasmade a close study of Republican as well as Dem-ocratic politics in the Southern states. "Iknow,"

said Mr. Hyams, "that Taft men are practicallyclaiming all the delegates to the Chicago conven-tion from the Southern states, but a bigsurprise IsIn store for them if they really believe- what they

assert. Some of the Southern state* have heldconventions, and at those conventions have votedto instruct their delegates for Taft.

"They have done this not because they are forTaft, but because they fear the whip or federalpatronage. They are afraid that If they do notsend delegates Instructed for Taft they will be de-

prived of their federal offices. At heart they arefor Hughes, and it is my opinion, based on an ex-haustive study el th« situation, that many of thedelegates who go to Chicago Instructed to support

Taft will bolt at the last minute and vote forHughes."

Mr. Hyams said that both Democrats and Re-publicans in the South attributed the recent panto

and the consequent and continuing financial de-pression to the policies which President Rooseveltadvocates. "We believe," ho said, "that the Presi-dent Is perfectly honest and perfectly sincere. W«

believe he earnestly wishes to do the best h« canfor his country and that his motives are beyond

reproach or question, but we also believe that hi*policies are wrong, that he has made a failure andImmersed the country in financial difficulties that

are f^lt particularly in the Bouth. It is for this

reason that the white Republicans in my section,

believing as they do that Taft will be simply anheir to Roosevelt policies, will refuse to supporthim.

"The negro Republicans of the South do not want

Taft, because they believe, that he is In the mainresponsible for the dishonorable discharge of thre»companies of negro troops for th*> disgraceful riotat Brownsville. They attribute, the. discharge ofthe*e troops not no much to President Roosevelt asto Mr. Taft. and nothing can convince them to th«contrary. The negroes simply won't vote for Taft

and that Is all there Is to It."Fairbanks, Cannon. Knot, Foraker and the rest

of th« possible Republican nominees. Mr. :fy«ms

aaye, ar<- not taken nerlously by Southern Repub-licans. "The man they do take seriously and the

man they are for." said he. "is Governor Hughes."• There are two ings of the Republican party

in my state," said Mr. Hyams. "One Is th* Uly

White wins, and Is composed of the white Repub-

licans. The other Is the "Black and Tan" win*.and Is composed of negroes. The latter hi solidly

for Governor Hutches, whereas the former mayvole for Taft. betas Impelled to take such actionby the lash of federal patronage.

"Ithink th* Ulack an.i Tans may he able to electtheir delegate*, but whether they can seat them

Is a different matter. As In oth»-r Southern states,

there may be two set* of dpl«*gat«'H sent to theconvention, and the committee: on credential willhave to <!.•\u25a0:(!\u25a0> which Is entitled to be seated.

"All the railroad construction work In my state

has been stopped with the exception of a fow milesof road that the Southern Pacific Is building. Thepeople attribute this condition to Roosevelt poli-

cies."Mr. Hyains Mid he thought the Democrats would

nominate Mr. Bryan. "Ican pee no other availa-ble candidate," he said. "The Democratic party

tried an experiment In 1»4 by nominating- JudgeParker. Tht* party wants no repetition of Midi a

disaster."
