The above resolution was adopt liraetieallv unanimously by the Wak county republican convention here lid's afternoon, after a vigorous speech in Kiinnort of it by Col. J. O. L.

I Har Is to the chair, and Secretary of the Committee Leonard called the roll of delegates. These being no contests thero was no committee on credentials. Col. John Nichols nominated U. S. Marshal Claudius Dockery as chairman of tho convention. Mr. Dockery s elec tion was unanimous. For permanent secretary Willis G Prices was unanimously "chosen. Col. Nichols spoke in favor of the adoption of a platform for tho county candidates to stand upon cciore in iconlo. Speaking of the three candidates for fitate chairman, Col. Nichols dismisseu one because he lived too far west, ano ther because ho was a candidate for congress, and urged that the third, who lived In the central part of the state and was hot a candidate for any office. be recommended by this convention. He then offered the following resolu tions, which were adopted without dis cussion: Adams Endorsed. "Whereas, at the republican state convention, to be held In the city of Greensboro, on the 10th day of July, r.cxt, a chairman of the republican state executive committee will be elect ed! and, "Whereas, it is important, that a man of learning, executive ability and. po litical sagacity and who is thorough ly imbued with the principles of the , republican party be elected t.o that im portant position; and, "Whereas, We believe the present in cumbent to be possessed of these essen tial qualifications; be it, therefore, "Resolved, That the delegates to the state convention this day elected by the republican convention of Wake county bo instructed to cast their votes for Hon. Bpencer B. Adams of Guil ' ford county for chairman of the repub lican state executive committee for the term of two years next ensuing." The next business was the election of delegates to the state, judicial and con gressional conventions. It appeared that the county was entitled to twelve delegates to the state convention there having been 1,101 votes for Harris for governor. iur. jaciv 2iaro.cn moveu uiai. me . egates be chosen by the convention In I Mr. Jack Harden moved that the del open session.

Mr. James Ferrall of Mark's Creek propose that a committee of five se lect a set of delegates and recommend them to the convention' for action. Mr. Ferrall's substitute was seconded by Mr. Reynolds or Buckhorn. After a little more discussion tho uestlon was put on tho substitute mo tion, for a committee to recommend delegates. There was a division, and the roll call resulted in a vote of 30 to 12 In Its favor. The chair appointed Messrs. Jones, Masscy, Rowland, Ferrall and Parker. Short Talks. While the committee was out Col. Nichols had read a letter from Hon. Spencer B. Adams, expressing his re gret at not being able to be present and address the Wake county conven tion. In the letter Mr. Adams stated that he was constantly In receipt of lcters from good men in various parts of the state, declaring that they were weary of the party in power and were going to align themselves with the re publican party in the state. Then Chairman Dockery, with a very nc-at Introduction, called on Col. Allen Jordan of Troy, father-in-law of Depu ty Collector Dayton, to address the con vention. He expressed his great regret ti see the progeny of some of tho good old whigs and republicans voting with the democrats, and to see the county of Wake, which used to be the banner republican county of the state, in tho democratic line. He declared that if you could only get a man to think he would vote the republican ticket. He was not in the party for office, he said. Mr. Reynolds called on Mr. H. P. Harrell of Swift Creek. Mr. Harrell asked for a drink of water, but was ad vised not to drink that In the pitcher on the judge's bench, as it had been there, someone declared, since the day before " last Christmas- Mr. Harden volunteered to bring tho speaker some fresh water, and in a few minutes Mr. Harrell was able to wet his whistle and proceed with his speech. Mr. Harrell stated that they were here now to fight the same gang that brought on the civil war. He believed that tne democrats would plunge us into war again to keep themselves in power. The war had settled nothing, for tho question of revolution could never be Eettlcd. The firing on Fort Sumpter started a war 'that fastened the high protective tariff on the coun try:' There was ho grander man living than William Jennings Bryan, but if we elect him we will havo another time ot closed up capital like when Cleve land was president. The committee after being out about half an hour, came back, but it was a ilsc alarm. Then Col. J. C. L. Harris was called cn, and saw the democrats at me nisi election had a majority of something liko 40,000. So the republicans mu3t get about 20,000 men over to equal things, If ho was In Greensboro he would take Bob Glenn's platform for prohibition. He would pass a resolution asking the legislature to put the prohibition ques- tion to the people to vote on. Then he would pass -another resolution calling on tho legislature to pass a bill for two cent railroad fares. Gov. Glenn, he said.; had told him that if the party would do that they would give the dem ocrats lots of trouble. Pennsylvania and Virginia had both had to pass rail road fare Saws. TImj Delegates. The committee then came in and re commended the following for the state convention: J. P. H. Adams, James Ferrall, W. H. Chamblee, H. T. Jones, Jas. S. Mangum, D. H. Standi, J. J. Reynolds, Allen B.

Harrell, C. H. Leonard, Duncan Lashley, J. W. Lassiter, A. Honey cutt, H. W. Norrls. Mr. Mangum said he understood these delecates were instructed for Adams for chairman, and that being the case he must decline. Mr. Vie Terry submitted a substitute to the report of the committee to let any good republican go to the conven tion and east his proportionate part of the vote of this county. There were six candidates for the Raleigh postof- fice and three had been put on the list. Naturally the others would feel they were at a disadvantage. Mr. Jones, Mr. Reynolds and others thought this wafi getting Into deep wa ter. They did not see what the Raleigh postofflce had to do with the state con vention.

"'.'i ' CORNELL CREWS THE Regatta Events Scheduled for this Evening VARSITY RACE AT SIX The Pour-Mile Course the Principal Event Two Knees To Precede It, One Four and One Eight Oared Event Interesting Forecast of the Day's Program. (By the Associated Press.) Poughkecpsie, N. Y., June 22. The day of the annual regatta of the inter collegiate rowing association in which six of the foremost colleges of the east and west will meet in open contest for a test as to aquatic supremacy opened dark and showery this morning with a promise that intermittent rain might fall throughout the day. The championship race for varsity eight oared crews is not scheduled until 6 o'clock this evening, so the early weather conditions were not dis couraging to the regatta officials. The water over the four miles straightaway course, leading from a point three miles above the railroad bridge which spans the river between Poughkeepsle and Highland to tho finish line one mile below that structure, was almost as smooth as a mill pond during the morn ing and tho promise of favorable' row lug conditions more than offset the j gloom cast from frowning ctouus. The first race of the afternoon will be rowed at 4 o'clock at which time the varsity four-oared shells will bo sent away on a two mile journey. Cor nell, Columbia, Syracuse and the Uni versity of Pennsylvania have entered crews for this race and tho boats will have positions from tho west bank of the river In the order named. All the rowing lanes have been changed this year, being pushed further out toward midstream In order that each crew may be equally affected by tide and wind conditions. Heretofore the slack water close to the shores has been held a disadvantage When the tide was running out in midstream and a de cided advantage when the tide was at Hood. The courses being nearer mid stream means rougher water than in former years, however, if tho wind should freshen. Yesterday during tho rowing hours of the afternoon the outer racing lanes were practically untena ble. The four-oared race was won last year by Syracuse. The second race is scheduled for 4:4;i o'clock and will be for eight-oared crews of freshmen from Columbia Syracuse, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the crews having drawn in the order named. This race will also be at two miles. It was won last year by Cornell, with Syracuse second. The varsity race over the four mile course will be started as near 6 o'clock as possible. The crews which will com peto and their positions from the west bank are as follows: Syracuse 1, Columbia 2, Wisconsin 3, Cornel 4, Georgetown 5, Pennsyl vania 6. The varsity was won last year by Cornell, the margin of the victors being something liko twenty lengths. Syracuse was .second, Georgetown third, Columbia fourth, Pennsylvania fifth and Wlsclnsln last. The best time ever made in a varsity race was hung up by Cornell in 1901, 18 minutes 53 1-5 seconds. The Cornell crews are decided favor ites in all three of today's events with expert opinion almost equally divided among the other crews for second tfnd third positions. Shortly after noon a brisk, breeso from the southeast sprung up and the clouds were swept away, he sun shone out brilliantly and with no increase of wind anticipated, the conditions for the regatta became all that could be desired.

The New York Shipbuilding Company offered the next bid in this class $3,585,000. As one firm is allowed to build only one of the ships this second bid will doubtless be accepted in case the de partment decides to accept the class 1 plans. , .
