Raleigh, April 23. With both factions claiming the election of their candidate as the re sult of Saturday's voting the Wake county republican met in convention today prepared ?' a hot contest. Lester F. Butler, ,:ie present chair man, declared shortly before the meet ing that he had a safe majority, and the same claim was made by V. J. Andrews, candidate of the. Duncan faction. Not In years has the contest over the county chairmanship been so interesting. Friends of Hon. B. C. Duncan felt that there was more at stake- than the mere defeat of a can didate, and for that reason they all entered the fray with avidity. Mr. Butler was working for the Morehead Butler organization, and to save him self from defeat. It was expected that the convention would be held in the court house, but as court Will be in progress there for the next live weeks other quarters were selected. The republicans will nominate a full legislative ticket In June. Prof. H. E. Austin of Greenville has been elected a member of the state board of examiners to succeed Dr. F. I Stevens, resigned. Capt. S. A. Ashe, who, it Is reported will become a candidate for the office uf state treasurer, has arrived in the city. He is not saying whether he will enter the race, but he has the matter under consideration, and expects to make an announcement In the next few days. George Buchanan, a white man, is badly wanted In Avery county, where on April 6, It is alleged, he shot and killed Policeman John W. Stafford at Minneapolis. Governor Kitchen has offered a reward ol $:!00 for Buch anan's capture and the citizens of Avery county have added $50 to the sum. Stafford was called In to a store by some young men who were drink ing and carousing and one of them picked a fight , beat Stafford over the head with an iron Instrument and drove hUn from the store. Staggering from the effects of the blows, he was not able to protect himself against Stafford, who shot at him five or six times with a pistol, three of the bulleU taking effect. This is the first homi cide to occur in Avery county. COLLEGE EXERCISES Begin at Weavci-vIHe With ltaniu-t on Saturday, May I, Lust ing I nlil May 7.

BAR THOUSANDS FROM HEARING (Continued from page 1.) Smith and several others In the vi cinity of the bridge declared at the time their belief that the vessel had seen them and was signalling in re ply. Iloxhall failed to see the replies, however, and In any case the steamer kept on its course obliquely past the Titanic without extending aid. This, and the declaration by P. A. S. Franklin, vice president of the White Star Line, that there were not sufficient lifeboats aboard the Titanic to care for the ship's company ut one time, were easily the features of the hearing. The official was quizzed throughout the morning sesRion on the messages exchanged between the Carpathia and himself, after the ship had started for New York with the Tltanic's sur vivors aboard. Among the survivors was J. Bruce Ismay, minaging direc tor of the line. Among the wireless telegrams read into the record was one from Mr. Is may urging that the steamship Cedric be held until the Carpathia arrived with its sorry burden. He declared he believed it "most desirable" that the survivors of the Tltanic's crew be rushed out of the country as quickly as possible. He also, the message said, would sail on the Cedric and asked that clothing he ready at the pier for him when the Carpathia docked. The senate's sub poenas blocked the plnn. Narrative of Boxliall. J. B. Boxhall, fourth officer of the Titanic, said that his duties always consisted of assisting the senior off! ccr in charge. He described the journey of the Titanic from Belfast to Southampton. "Wero there any drills or any in spection before the Titanic sailed?" asked Senator Smith, the chairman. "Both," said the vitness. "The men were mustered and the lifeboats low ered in the presence of the inspectors from the board of trade." "How many boats were lowered? "Just two, sir." "One on each side of the ship?" "No, sir. They were both on the same side." The witness said he did not know whether the lowering tackle ran free or not on that occasion. "In lowering the lifeboats at the test did the gear work satisfactor ily" "So far as I know." At the time of the tests all officers of the Titanic were present. "Were there any lifeboats on the Titanic not sufficiently fastened and in a position to be lowered?" ' "All of them were, 14 lifeboats, two sea boats and four collapsible boats," said Boxhall. Boxhall said that under the weath er conditions experienced at the time of the collision the lifeboats were supposed to carry 65 persons. Under the regulations of the British board of trade, in addition to the oars, there were In the boats water breakers, water dlpers, bread, bailers, mast and Cfill and lights and a supply of oil. All of these supplies, said Boxhall. were In the boats when the Titanic left Belfast; he could not say whether they were In when the vessel left Southampton. , i "Now," repeated Senator Smith, "suppose the weather was clear and the sky unruffled, as It was at the time of the disaster, how, many would the boat hold?" v "Really, I don't know. It wonld depend ' largely on the people who were to enter. If they did as they were told I believe each boat could accommodate 61 persons."' Upholds Ship's Officers. Boxhall testified to the sobriety and good habits of his superior and brother officers. "You were on watch Funday Bight from t o'clock until midnight?" "Tee." "Spend sit that time At your post?" "Yen." "Were you on the bridge all that time?" "No, but most of It." "Do you know whether 'the offi cers were at their customary post." nt the forward end during that watch?" "Yes, Ljghtoller was on the brklgt v.-hen I came on at S o'clock. He was relieved at 10 o'clock by Mr. Murdock, who remained until the ac cident" "Who else was on deck?" "Moody, the sixth officer." "Who occupied the "crow's nest' during your watch?" ' "Fleet and Leigh. "Who else was on the lookout?" "The bridge officer, Mr. Murdock." "Was the ordinary complement of officers at their posts?" "Yes, sir." "Did you not know of the prox Imity of icebergs?" asked Senator Smith. I "No. sir." , Under questioning, however, Box hall said Captain Smith had told him of the positions of certain Icebergs, which he marked on the chart. "Were there any additional officers or members of the Clew stationed In the bow or on the deck after you went on deck Sunday night?" "I don't know that there were any additional officers or men on the for ward deck. Just the regular force.' "Did you see the captain frequent ly Sunday night?" asked Senator Smith. "Yes, sir; sometimes on the upper deck, sometimes In the chart room, sometimes on the bridge and some- t'mes in the wheel house. "Was the captain on the bridge or at any of the other places when you went on watch at 8 o'clock .'" "No; I first saw the captain about 9 o'clock." - "Did you see Mr. Ismay with the captain on the bridge or In the wheel house?" "No, sir; not until after the acci dent," Ordered Him On Boat. Boxhull said he did not believe the captain had been away from the vi cinity of the bridge at any time dur ing his watch. "When did you see tho captain Inst?" asked Senator Smith. "When ho ordered me to go away in the boat." "Where were you at the time of the collision?" "Just approaching the bridge. "Did you see what occurred?" "No, I could not see." "Did you hear?" "Yes, the senior officer said, 'We have struck an Iceberg.' 1 heard the sharp report of the crash." "Did you see the Iceberg? "No, sir." "Did it strike the bow or shave it?" "It seemed to me to have struck the bluff of the starboard how." "Then It was a square blow on the bow of tho ship?" "No, a glancing blow. Was it a hard Impact?" "No, it was so slight that I did not think it was serious." Boxhall then went to the bridge. where ho found the first officer, Mr. Murdock, the sixth officer, Mr. Moody, and Captain Smith. Boxhall said the captain asked what was the trouble, and the first officer replied they had struck an Ice berg, and added that be had borne to starboard and reversed his engines lull speed after ordering the closing -f watertight doors. . "Did you see the iceberg?" "Yes, sir. I could see it dimly. It lay low In the water and was about as high as the lower rail of the ship, or about 30 feet out of the water." Boxhall said he went down to the steerage. Inspected all the decks In the vicinity of where the ship had struck, found no traces of any dam age and went directly to the bridge and so reported. "The captain ordered me to send a carpenter to sound the ship, but I found a carpenter coming up with the announcement that the ship was tak ing water. "In the mail room I found mall sacks floating about while the clerks were at work. I went to the bridge and reported, and the captain ordered the lifeboats to be made ready."
