C. Two versions are floating over Washington of a fist fight between Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader in the senate, and Dr. Joseph F. Mitchell, surgeon, which occurred on the golf links of the Chevy Chase club. The clash was brief. Dr. Mitchell was struck once and fell to the ground. Senators Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, Androus Jones of New Mexico and John B. Kendritk of Wyoming were playing with Senator while Edward Clifford, Robinson, former assistant secretary of the treasury, and his son accompanied Dr. Mitchell. Those who took the part of Senator Robinson said the trouble occurred after the Mitchell party had been help up from coming through the green on the twelfth hole, on which the senatorial foursome was playing. senator Walsh was searching for a lost ball. A member of the Mitchell party, it was said, called for permission to pass through and it was granted. On the way to the next tee, it was added, some sharp words were passed on the subject of golf etiquette. When the thirteenth tee was reached the feeling had progressed to such an extent that the two men came to Paul, Minn. Formation here of the New National Farmer-Labo- r party makes the second national organization of similar name in existence, while in Minnesota there is a state farmer-labo- r party independent of both national groups Confusion in the use of farmer-labo- r by these groups while there is no official relationship among them, is bound to result, leaders of the state organization said here in speculation as to the probable effect the new National Farmer Labor party would have on state politics The state party did not indorse the convention here last week and the faction headed by F. A. Pike, state chairman, denounced it and refused to participate in its deliberations, but the group headed by William Mahon-e- y of St. Paul took a prominent part in the gathering. Mahoney is a member of the national committee. Several leaders in the tate organization have said they "feared tha state party would lose votes in the fall election due to the adoption of the 'Farmer-Labo- r' name," by the convention here, as many of the party "might vote other tickets through confusion in party lines." are Many state Farmer-Laborite- s bitterly opposed to the communist-controlle- d national party formed here one leader said, and they may mistakenly think some of the state Farmer-Labo- r candidates in the fall elections are affiliated with the national party and accordingly vote for someone else. With its origin in the League, a name abandoned in Minnesota state politics for party designation In the 1918 elecn tion, the Farmer-Labo- r has party spread from this state to many othei states, continuing in Minnesota as a majorty party. Both Minnesota senators- are members of the state party. In 1920, the state party continued to function as such, and in the same year, the committee of forty-eigmeeting in Chicago, but without official representation from the Minnesota party, organized the Farmer-Labo- r party of the United States and placed Parley P. Christensen of Salt Lake in the field as its presidential candidate. In Minnesota, however, the state Farmer-Labo- r party has the only legal right to use that name, and Christensen's name did not appear on the Minnesota's elector's lists. blows.
