WATSON, M’CRAY JOIN HANDS IN CITY CAMPAIGN "Anti-Jewett-Lemcke Wing to Be Aided by Branch of State Politicians. REMEMBER FESLER RACE United States Senator Janies E. Watson •nd Governor-elect Warren T. McCray will pet into the coming city campaign for the purpose of adding the Marion County organization to their State machine and administering a lesson to present Republican bosses who sacrificed them to advance the 'interests of County Treasurer Ralph Lemeke in the recent election, certain moves of late indicate. Members of the Jewett-Lemcke organization, at present in control of the city and county Republican committees, look for the move from the two State leaders and are making plans to block them, if possible. The first move of Watson and McCray, politicians expect, will be to assist the anti-Jewett-Lemeke wing of the party to gain control of the city organization, when the city chairman is selected some time in February or March. LEMCKE MAY fcSTAND ASIDE. Ralph Lemeke is the present city chairman, but it is understood he does not desire to continue in the office. In fact? tt is repeatedly rumored that Mr. Lemeke Is about ready, either through personal choice or the recognition that ht* can no longer maintain his control, to step aside and let Leo K. Fesler, county auditor, assume the dictator’s place. Mr. Fesler will not be a candidate for city chairman, but it is very generally recognized that he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, and one of the strongest. Somewhere out of the Jewett-Lemeke organization, which now gives signs of becoming the Fesler organization. a candidate for city chairman will be picked. It is this man whom Watson *nd McCray will lend their support to the antis to beat. While Watson and McCray naturally desire a mayor of Indianapolis who would be a member of their State family, revenge and the desire to have Marlon County more amenable to their mandates in the future are the big considerations. It is no secret that the G. O. P. organization in this county, bossed bv Jewett-Lemeke, County Chairman Harry Hendri'-kson and Seventh District Chairman Charles O. Roemler permitted Watson and McCray to be sacrificed to add to the majority of Lemeke in the recent election. Lemeke received 79.324 •votes in Marlon County as compared with Watson’s 78,809 and McCray’s 78.582. If the e’ectlon had not been a Republican landslide Watson and McCray might have lost Marion County and the State by Must the margin of Lemcke’s lead. Con tretely. it is to prevent a recurrence ot ►his In connection with their future political hopes that the two State leaders want to oast the present county managers. TROiBI.E GOES BACK TO STATE CONTEST. The desire for revenge on the part of Watson and McCray, also grows out of the fact that Jewett. Lemeke, Hendrickson and Roemler fought them both, tooth and toe nail, in the last State convention. The Marion County delegation iu this meeting successfully blocked the efforts of the Watson-McCray men to have the delegates-at-large go to the national convention at Chicago uninstructed as to presidential candidates. The delegates were instructed for Leonard Wood, the Indianapolis News candidate. It was this fight of Watson and McCray which caused the News to support the Demo- | cratic candidates, it is generally agreed. Mr. McCray has a particular dislike for the above quartet because they supported James W. Fesler, a close relative of Leo K. Fesler, for the nomination for Governor against him. Mr. Roemler, although the Seventh district Republican chairman and bound by all the recog- ■ nized ethics of politics to remain neutral in g prircary election, openly served as James W. Fesler’s Marion Connty manager. County Chairman Hendrickson, also ethically bound to neutrality the same as Roemler, openly worked for Fesler and went so far as to attempt to pledge all the candidates for nomination to county offices to support McCray s principal opponent. Mr. McCray, it is was forced to spend considerable money and effort to finally beat Fesler in Marion County and the memory naturally would rankle. With the prospect of support from Watson and McCray, the antis are becoming more and more confident of their ability to seize the city organization. They also point out the fact that many city etn ployes. beneficiaries of Mayor Charles W. Jewett and his administration, are eager to get into the battle o% the opposite side of the fence, feeling, as most of them do, that the mayor’s political reign, for the time being at least, is at an end. The mayor, so far, has given no indication of what his desires are and some of the fifty-two city employes, who are also preitinct committeemen, are beginning to get impatient

ANTIS GROW COXFIDEST. The administration men are talking of Leonard Quill, president of the Marlon Club, for city chairman. He was slated for the county chairmanship, but opposition to him was so pronounced that the Jewett-Lemcke crowd polled him out of the race the night before the county conrentlon last spring and finally pushed Harry Hendrickson down the throats of the rampant antis at the last minute. The antis say It can't be done again. Despite the fact that the administration men were in the organization saddle in the past election, the antis kept their forces practically intact through the Harding Club, which had headquarters at the Hotel English during the presidential campaign. It Is frequently remarked that the Club was formed, not so much to boost Harding, as to furnish a gathering place for the anti forces. Open Night School for ex-Service Men Special to The Times.

OIL KING, SHOT IN HOTEL, DIES; WOMANSOUGHT (Continued From Page One.) in the Republican party reads like a fable. Hamon's fortune at his death was estimated conservatively at $30,000,000. STORY OF FORTUNE LIKE FICTION. The foundation of his fortune lay in the scheme which he devlsedi and carried through in the development of town sites and a railroad in Oklahoma. He had no money with which to carry out the project, but decided a wealthy circus man probably would be more ajlt to finance the project than any other person. He made the acquaintance of one of the Ringling brothers. It was said he deliberately knocked over a cocktail glass in a New York case at a table where Ringling was seated in order to meet the cirI eus owner. Hamon made the most of the incident, | and Boon got Rlngling’s backing. The j town of Jakeliainon and another named ! Ringling were started. The railroad project got under way and then oil was discovered on the property. From that time Hamon was a made man. After making his fortune, Hamon started to take an interest in politics. He was such an “outsider” only a few years ago that when he went to the Republican national convention in 1916, he did not have a ticket and it was only through the kindness of a friend that he was able to obtain admittance. But Ha- | iron worked his political game to the limit and after a bitter fight was named ! the State’s national committeeman. lie was one of the original boosters of V. arren G. Harding for the presidential nomination and worked for the Ohioan s success long before the Chicago convention. WAS mentioned FOR NOMINATION During the convention deadlock Hamon was prominently mentioned for the nomination. Hamon's little daughter attracted eonslderable attention during the conven- ! tion at Chicago by entertainments at Republican headquarters. She is an accomplished violinist. She was at her fai ther's bedside when he died. A son who lives in Chicago had not i arrived when the end came. Dr. Walter Hardy, head of the sanitarium where Hamon died, said that the dilation of the heart was first noticed at 8 p. m., Thursday. A few hours previously Hamon was believed to have passed the danger mark, Hardy said. However, when his heart started to fall, he suf sered a relapse and little hope was held for his recovery.

HOT SEARCH FOR WOMAN. With Hamon's death, authorities redoubled their efforts to locate Mrs. Clara Smith Hamon, who disappeared immediately after the shooting. The woman was a clerk in a store at Lawton when Hamon first met her. She was only 17—that was about eight years ago, according to Hamon’s friei.ds. At that time Hamon’s success had not started and he had very little property. Many stor!e have been circulated in Ardmore since Hamon was shet, regarding the frlen iship between the woman and the oil magnate. Officials have refused to reveal evidence which they may have against the woman. Hamon’s friends claimed a "frame up” and declared the charges were the result f political animosity. Reports were clr culated that witnesses heard Hamon and a woman quarreling; that when Hamon and the woman were in the dining room previously to the shooting they talked excitedly and appeared angry. Reports in Ardmore were that jealousy was the motive for the shooting. TOOK INSURANCE $' JUST BEFORE SHOT ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 26.—A life insurance policy for s2oo,id) was delivered to Jake L. Hamon. millionaire Oklahoman, who died today by an insurance company here a few hours before he was shot last Sunday. The insurance was made payab.e to his estate and the amount will be paid.

Anticipate Shopping Rush Within Week With the passing of Thanksgiving day. Indianapolis retail merchants, whose stores contain many articles showing that the annual visit of Santa Claus is near, expect a sharp Increase in Christmas buying within the next week. "Do your Christmas shopping early; do It now," Is the advice of the merchants. Some stores now have articles In atock which were made in France. Italy and many other foreign countries. It would be Impossible to duplicate thes° articles, merchants say, and for that reason the merchants are urging that the people who wish a choice selection, do their shopping early. "The early shopper bus all to gain and nothing whatever to lose, while the person who delays his shopping has much to loae," one merchant said today. Only twenty-three more shopping days remain before Christmas. 20 Hurt in Train Jam BELLE FONTAINE, Ohio, Nor. 26.

Insular Developement Retarded, Report Shows. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Inability to interest American capital on a lnrge scale in the nation’s insular possessions, particularly the Philippine Islands, has resulted in greatly retarding development of the great natural resources of the islands, according to the annual report of Major Gen. Frank Mclntyre, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department, to Secretary Baker. General Mclntyre urges American bankers and business men to interest themselves in the trade and development possibilities of the outlying possessions, declaring that ‘Targe tracts of the best agricultural land In the world await development,” and that "in a number of fertile provinces the population falls below twenty persons per square mile, while there is an uusupplied labor de inand in other agricultural provinces having a population of 250 per square mile.”

Action has been taken by the Philippine Legislature to provide for the exploration and leasing of lands containing petroleum and other mineral oils and gases, in which connection General McIntyre says that "the existence of oil in widely separated localities in the Philippines has been known since the ocupation of the islands, but there has been no serious effort at development. There is now promise that in the near future it will be definitely known whether this oil exists in such a way as to be of commercial use.” Among the suggestions id one that the immigration laws be amended to check migration from the Philippines, particularly to Hawaii; that the land laws be altered to permit of leasing of larger divisions of Government land; that the limit of the public debt of the islands he raised from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000; that salariea of United States officials in the Philippines be increased, and that the laws respecting the citizenship of Filipinos be clarified to give the Island Inhabitants the full effect of the intention of Congress in declaring them “citizens of the Philippine Islands and as such entitled to the protection of the United States.” “There was every evidence of contentment with conditions and of friendliness toward Americans nnd appreciation for what the United States has done In the islands,” General Mclntyre states in reporting on a recent inspection trip. The progress of Porto Rico under the Organic act of 1917 has been very satis factory and continues so, the report says, the Island having Just completed one of the most prosperous years in its history. Improvement of freight and passenger service between the United States and Porto Rico was recommended. Liquidation of the 32*1,000,000 bond Is sue of 196 Sand the collection of the customs in San Domingo by the United States continued to progress sntlsfactor Ily during the last year. General Mclntyre stated.
