Hammond princes were comented with those of the Gary old guard the court troubles and the failure of Mayor Knotts to make good at the last election is said to be responsible for the rupture. Now that Knotts Is considered as no longer a factor in county affairs

his old enemies are. being courted by

those in power as the possible new di

rectors of Gary's democratic destinies.

Knotts and Corbet t Have Word. Those who traveled south on tha

Monon yesterday and who were in the chair car heard a wordy battle between

Mayor Knotts - and City Chairman

Corbett which ran something like this:

Knotts "Corbett what la this I hear

about there being two conventions in Garden hall."

Corbett "Why we held a convention.

Were there two? Did you fellows hold a convention?"

Knotts "Yes and since when have'

you been city chairman?"

Corbett "Ever since." Knotts "And. Corbett didn't you

promise to be good when we gave you

the nomination for state senator?"

Corbett "Be good, what do you

mean? You didn't give rne the nomina

tion. It was forced upon me."

Knotts "By being good I mean cut-

i ting out this monkey -doodle business."

Corbett "Being good. In other words.

mean doing as you say."

Knotts "Croliua was a gentlemen

compared to you fellows. He always

fought me in the open."

Corbett "I tried to bury the hatchet

but you fellows went on with your

secret work."

Knotts "Well your reputation, ' Corbett "See here. Tom, I have lived

In Gary, Joliet, and Elkhart and I'll go back to any place else where I used to live and I'll stack up my reputation against yours any place that you ever lived."

Knotts "You have fallen in with a

gang of political cut-throats, thieves

and robbers and the steel trust is pay

ing you to break up the party."

Corbett "All right I had better gi

up and draw my check."

Then the conversation is said to have

stopped. -v

(avlt Tans Dimi Kntt. It will be remembered that both

Corbett and Harvey J. Curtis claim the

city chairmanship of Gary and now County Chairman John Gavlt is recognizing Corbet.

Mayor Knotts then traveled back to

the car In which Gavit was riding and this Is said to have been over heard by other passengers:

Knotts "What is this I hear about

your recognizing Corbett as city chair

man?"

Gavit "Didn't know that 'there

wasn't another one."

Knotts "Why, didn't you know that

Harvey Curtis is city chairman?"

Gavlt "First I ever heard of it."

Knotts "Well, I must say that you

are a hell of a bright county chairman

Bill Cain "Gavit, you certainly are

a bright one."

T. W. Englehart "You are a very

bright one."

And then somebody talked about the

weather.

Backing Corbett are Alderman Feuer

and Castleman. City Clerk Harry Moosa

.and other democrats formerly allied with Knotts. In addition t to this the majority of the union men caucuses an 1

conventions.

Whether Mr. Corbett will spring his

mayoralty boom Just now is not known

but is he said to have been approached Iby several to make the run for the

democratic nomination.

the tenth district democratic committee was conceded before the meeting opened, the district convention promised to be something' besides a cut-and-drled affair. Th presence of a con

testing delegations from Gary made things interesting. City Chairman II. and each delegation claimed to have the only authorized credentials. There

were delegations from all the othei

counties in the district. Chairman Murphy called the meeting to order

shortly before 3 o'clock and the first motion was made by James W. Schooler. He moved that' a committee composed of one 3elegate from each coun

ty except Lake be appointed to settle the contest from Gary. This motion was carried and the following committee was appointed: R.. M. Isher-

wood, Tipecanoe; J. A. Hemrlck, Ben

ton; F. E. Babcock, Jasper; Judge Dar-

roch, Newton; William Eberhardt. "Warren; Wright Henkle, White; Mayor W. F. Spooler, Porter. SPOOLER PRESIDES.

Mayor W. F. Spooner of Valparaiso was selected as permanent chairman by unanimous votf. He was escorted

to the chair by a committee composed

of Messrs. Kent of White county

Barnes of Tippecanoe, and Durborow

of Warren. Frank Babcock was select ed as secretary. The committee on ere

dentials retired to decide the Gary contest. While thfi committee was "out Judge Parr of Lebanon spoke briefly;He predicted national and state vic

tories for the democratic party.

COTESTrfl DEIEGATIOX. The delegation from Gary which opposed Mayor Knotts and his delegates was composed of W. H. Hamilton, joe Morris and Martin Gill; alternates, Michael Walsh, M. N. Castleman and George Starkovich. City Chairman H. E. Corbett, who was at the head of this delegation, said his men were the only authorized delegates. He said he was the real city chairman, although Mayor Knotts declares H. W. Curtis Is

the city chairman. The Gary fight is badly complicated. " Resolutions were passed praising Governor Marshall for his service as governor and saying that he was the ideal candidate for the democratic nomination for president next year. The tenth district was pledged to support Marshall. John B. Peterson of Crown Point, who was Representative Crumpacker's opponent last year, made a short address, stating that the tenth district would next yar elect a de mo -

cratic member of congress.
