THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. G SUNDAYUNEil, 19T6. (Two. Til TELLS OF IS SHIP'S ESCAPE Additional Proof That the Dread nanght , Warspite Was Not Sunk by the. Germans. RETURNED SAFELY TO PORT Captain PhUlpota Says He 1 Stffl Com mander of the World's Greatest Warship Associated Press Gets Interview. London, June 10. In proof of the statement of the British Admiralty that the drea.dna.ught Warspite. arrived safely In port, after the North Sea bat tle, the commander of the warship himself received an Associated Press correspondent today and described his vessel's "miraculous escape" from the concentrated German fire. T am still commander of the great est battleship in the world, and my men are as fine as Nelson's blue jack ets," said this officer, " Capt. E. M. Phillpotts. The captain granted the Interview on his return from Bucking ham palace where he told King George the story of his part in the great naval battle. Praises His Men. Captain PhiUpotts "minimized his own part in the battle but was full of praise for his men and what he term ed the amazing powers of resistance of his ship. - "I am not surprised that the Germans report that the Warspite was sunk," he said, "as from our position between our fleet and the German battleships, our escape from such a fate was sim ply miraculous. Several times we dis appeared from sight in the smoke and spray. Even some of our own officers on other ships believed the gallant "battleship had sunk. As we left the fighting line, we disappeared in a com plete veil of spray. "The division of battleships of which the Warspite was one, was with (the battle cruisers. We were practi cally engaged as soon as they were, .nut the Warspite did not fire until a few minutes after the others had be. in action, as I was not satisfied with the range at first. "We soon knew we were up against the whole German battle fleet but it was our business to engage them as 'fully as possible until Admiral Jellicp ould come up. Hade Hit After Hit. You ask me what result I saw that our. fire had on the Germans, but it is Quite impossible to give a definite re ply, as the captain of arte of a row of battleships, about 500 yards apart steaming in battle line must keep an eye on the ship to make necessary ewerves. The flag captain has some chance to see with some, degree of ac curacy what damage has been done to the enemy, but the others are too busy keeping their places in line and doing the damage, to keep a glass to the eye to see what is suffering. "However, I saw that we registered hit after hit, enough to convince me that the Germans got a hiding which will keep them in port for many months to come. After two hours of action, in much of which our division of battleships engaged the whole Ger man battle fleet in an effort to protect our battle cruisers until Admiral Jel licoe came up, the Warspite steering gear went wrong and she ran amuck among the enemy." ator Lodge as a compromise candidate. At 4 o'clock this morning, he said, one Republican and two Progressive con ferees called him over the telephone to explain the situation. Colonel Roosevelt informed them, ho declared, that he intended to suggest the joint nomination of Senator Lodge All three conferees, he said, seemed to be agreed that such a step would be satisfactory. He declined to name the Republican member other than to say he had been a supporter of Justice Hughes. Colonel Roosevelt sent his - telegram of refusal before he had read Justice Hughes statement. Later, when asked if he had any comment to make on the Hughes statement, he replied: "Not a word, not a word about anything. Colonel Roosevelt said he probably would have no further statement to make until after the progressive Na tional Committee gets together to de termine its attitude in regard to Jus tice Hughes candidacy or learns some thing further in regard to the Repub lican nominees positions on the ques tions Colonel Roosevelt considers the most important now before the country. The Colonel Roosevelt was asked by a photographer to step out on the lawn. "No picture," the Colonel stated em piiatically, "l am out of politics."

Charles War ren Fairbanks, in a statement given out here tonight, accepted the Repub lican nomination for vice president. His statement follows: "I was not a candidate for the vice presidential nomination and requested the chairman of the Indiana delega tion to withdraw my name if present ed. The nomination was made and the convention adjourned before my dis patch was -received. I feel it my duty, under the circumstances, to accept the commission which the party has so gen erously and unanimously placed in my hands." (Special Star Telegram.) New Bern, N. CL, June 10, The ninth annual session of the. North Carolina Conference of the Epworth League is rapidly drawing to a close and a num ber of the delegates left tonight, re turning to their homes. This after noon the delegates were entertained on a sail given up Neuse rived on two steamers. Tonight a model devotional meeting was conducted by Mrs. H. B. Branch, of Wilmington. An illustrated lecture was also given by Rev. J. M. OrmoncL The annual sermon will be delivered tomorrow morning zy Dr. E. K. Hardin, of Washington, D. C, and this will be followed by installation of the newly elected officers. Tomorrow night the consecration service will be conducted by Rev. F. S. Love, of Aberdeen, and this will bring the session to a close. HUGHES' NOMINATION BY THE REPUBLICANS MADE ON 3ED BALLOT (Continued from Page One.) Snever was a moment's doubt of the Result. Fairbanks Nominated. With the end of the balloting for the presidential nomination and the official announcement the balloting for vice (president began. There was some sur prise when Governor Willis, of Ohio, withdrew Burton's name, and cast the Wrhole block of Ohio votes for Faarr ibanks. At the roll call proceeded whole "blocks of votes piled in for Fairbandks land his nomination was such a fore gone conclusion that the delegates be jean leaving and caused much confu sion that the balloting was heard with jflimculty. After Chairman Harding had offi cially announced" the nomination of Fairbanks, the usual resolutions were passed, Chairman Hilles called a meet ing of the new national committee for organization and the convention ad journed. Notable in Political History. The convention was notable in politi- &il history for many things. A man ho steadfastly had refused to seek (the nomination had been chosen; it Was the first Republican convention teince 1888 which had been forced to take more than one ballot to agree upon a candidate and it had been Jmarked by a lack of riotous demon stration and nervous enthusiasm which fciitherto has been a feature of such featherings. It did not touch any of )the existing records for sustained dem onstrations, but, despite the fact that It was wholly and decidedly "unbossed" It moved with a precision and ruiet teess which has not been equalled since the McKinley convention in Philadelphia. COMMITTEEMEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO ENIKJBtSE HUGHES Chicago, June 10. The Virginia del egation to the National Progressive convention tonight voted to instruct its National Committeeman to work for the substitution of Governor Johnson, Vic tor Murdock, or some other capable man for Theodore Roosevelt, in case the Col onel decides not to make the race on the Progressive ticket for president. The resolutions adopted also forbade the Virginia National Committeeman from endorsing the Republican candi date for President. It was reported a the meeting that other Southern state delegations and probably Northern and Western states might alos take similar action. GERMAN-AMERICAN ALLIANCE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR HUGHES Chicago, June 10. Louis E. Brandt, secretary of the German-American Al liance of Illinois, tonight issued a statement saying that the members oZ the alliance had exerted their first po litical activity in working for the nom ination of Charles E. Hughes for presi dent. The statement said that the campaign for Hughes was planned six months ago and crystalized at a meet ing of representatives of the alliance from all over the country in Chicago a week ago. A meeting of the political committee of the German-American Alliance will be held in Chicago on Wednesday to promulgate further plans. Mr. Brandt s statement said that let ters from the alliance were already go ing in the mails - calling on 3,000,000 members to vote for Mr. Hughes. llOOSEVELT REFUSES TO COMMENT ON THE STATEMENT Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 10. When Colonel Roosevelt summoned the news paper correspondents to Sagamore Hill t 6 o'clock tonight to tell them he had tentatively refused the Progressive nomination, he had nothing to add to what he had said in his telegram to jthe convention at Chicago. He told something, however, of the Bteps which led up to his message early In the day, suggesting that Progres- jBlves ana Republicans unite upon Sen THE DAY IN CONGRESS SENATE Met at noon.

Passed bills establishing Lassen Vol- Jeanic National Park in"" the Sierra Ne jvada mountains in California, and ac cepting Washington state's cession of lexcluslve Jurisdiction over Mount Ra inier National Park. Adjourned at 2:14 P. M. to 11 A. M. "Monday. however, he was back practicing law in New York. The public first heard of Mr. Hughes in 1905 and 1906. It was in those years that he served first 'as counsel for the Stevens legislative committee investi gating the gas companies of New York, and then as counsel for the Armstrong executive committee for the investiga tion of insurance business in 'New York. In the first investigation, Mr. Hughes made a reputation, but it at tracted little attention outside of New York city. In the insurance investiga tion, however, he unearthed nation-wide scandals; and the whole country follow ed the dramatic story which he reveal ed. Before hg investigation was half finished, however, Republican leaders seized upon the record which he had made to carry their party to victory. He declined the New York city Repub lican nomination for mayor because he had not finished the insurance investi gation. The next year he was elected govern or, defeating W. R. Hearst, nominee of both the Democrats and the Indepen dent League.' Mr. Hughes was the only successful Republican on the state tic ket. Throughout . his administration as governor, he was at loggerheads with the Republican organization. He first urged the passage of the public service commission law, to which the legisla ture paid little attention. He stumped the state for his bill, and finally the legislature responded. Hardly had the bill become & law be fore the legislature passed a two-cent passenger fare measure. Governor Hughes vetoed it on the ground that a legislature should not deal arbitrarily with matters requiring investigation, particularly when it had just provided machinery for investigating such mat ters. He also succeeded in having a measure against race track betting en acted, affecting racing throughout the whole country. Governor Hughes was considered prominently for the Republican presi dential nomination in 1908. President Roosevelt threw his power in favor of Mr. Taft, and Governor Hughes was re elected. He achieved widespread repu tation as a campaign speaker by open ing the Republican campaign at Youngstown, Ohio. It was during his second term in 1910 that President Taft appointed him to the. Supreme Court bench. As a member of the court, he wrote many of the most important decisions rendered by the court. Among these were the so-called state rate cases, the pure food law decision, and the Vir ginia-West Virginia debt case. Mr. Hughes was married in New York city, December 5th, 1888, to An toinette, daughter of Walter S. Carter, and had four children Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., Helen, Catherine and Eliz abeth Hughes. He was for several years president of the Brown University Club, of New York, a trustee of the Fifth Baptist church- in New York. He is a member of the Lawyers', Re publican, University, Union League and Cornell University clubs, and the American, State and New York bar as sociations. Though in official life Mr. Hughes has been known -as a hard worker, in pri vate life he is buoyant, fond of books of all kinds, music and golf, besides be ing a mountain climber who has been over most of Switzerland on foot. DENIES BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS HAVE INTERRUPTED TRAFFIC SKETCH OF THE MFE OF CHARLES EVANS HUGHES Charles Evans Hughes was born in Glens Falls, N. Y., April 11, 1862, mak ing him four years younger than 'ex- President Roosevelt and six years younger than President Wilson. His father was a Baptist minister. and his mother shaped his early educa tion with the idea of preparing him for i j pw we ministry, xne iamny movea to Newark, N. J., when he was a boy, and during his young manhood it settled in New York city. At the age " of 15 he was graduated from a New York high school at the head of his class, so young that his father would, not permit him to enter college for a year. He was grad uated from Brown University in 1881, one of the five Phi Beta Kappa honor men of his year, and attended the Co lumbia University law school, holding the prize fellowship from 1884 to 1887, At the beginning of his career. Mr. Hughes was an instructor in. Greek and mathematics at an academy in Delhi, N. Y. A chiding remark from the prin cipal of that academy to the effect that young Hughes would have trouble con trolling the discipline of his classes, because he had. "no , more beard than an egg," is cited in innumerable bio graphical records of Mr. Hughes as hav ing been responsible for the Hughes beard, which has since figured so large ly in' political caricatures. After a short experience as an edu cator, Mr. . Hughes became a law clerk in the office of t Stewart L. Woodford, later was elected lieutenant governor or fho state of New York, but his health was undermined by his work and he ac cepted a chair, as professor of law at Cornell University.

It takes at least live years to breed and raise a first-class work horse. It takes well, a good deal less time to make a motortruck or tractor that will do the work of many horses. This is one of the several reasons why there is going to be a big increase of motor transportation, raotortrucfcmg and tractor farming within the next few years. - Of course, there are plenty of other reasons. The war has killed o ffvast numbers of horses, while ranltiply-ing the manufacture of motors. When the straggle ends governments will have vast numbers of tracks and tract3e to sell at clearin-out prices and fac tories will be ready to cater to private customers. But these factors, after all, merely hasten a development that was written in the book of fate. H - rrE rTALIAJT TRANSPORT SUNK. Torpedoed by Austrian Submarine Large Number Soldiers Lost.

An Appeal to Reason To the Voters of New Hanover County: Mr. George Harris has been an office holder for eighteen years continuously: is a Magistrate and a United States Commissioner at the present time, and is a candidate for Recorder in the Dem ocratic Primary, June 12, 1916. Mr. George Harris, who is a candidate for Recorder, has a brother, Mr. W. N. Harris, who has been an office holder for sixteen years, and is now the effici ent and courteous Clerk of the Superior Court in this County, at a salary of $S,00C ' Mr. George Harris, a candidate for Recorder, has a cousin, Mr. Harris Northrop, and a near relative, who are Deputy Clerks of the Superior Court of this County. ,Mr. George Harris, who is a candidate for Recorder, has a cousin, Mr. Chesley Bellamy, the able Assistant City Attor ney of Wilmington. Mr. George Harris, who is a candi date for Recorder, has a cousin, Mr. George Howell, "the Prince of good fel lows," who is United States Referee in Bankruptcy in this County.

Mr. George Harris, a candidate for Recorder, has a cousin. Col. Walker Taylor, the progressive and able Collec tor of the Port of Customs of Wilming ton, N. C. Is New Hanover County so small that the Democratic party in it is only a family affair? With malice toward none, but with love for the party of Zeb. Vance and Woodrow Wilson, it -it not for the beet interests of our party, our city, and our county, that we stop this, on June 12, U916. And is it not unfair to other citizens of this county that this condition should exist? Lest We forget, Atlantic .Coast Line employees, Mr. Harry Walters had no more loyal supporter than B. G. Empie, when he was in the Legislative Halls, nor has the Atlantic Coast Line ever had a more loyal local friend.
