(By Leased Wire to The Times) Elgin, III., Aug. 27 The stars of the automobile racing world started this morning to contest for 'the f 4, 500 Elgin national trophy over the 30!-niile course. Thlrtoen cars were entered in the big event and even greater speed than that made by Al Livingston, in the Illinois trophy yes terday was expected. Oldfleld, Robertson, Harroun and Grelner, who were among tiie entries, predicted that records would be smatfhed. Harry Grant and Living ston were looked upon as dangerous contenders, the latter especially since his spectacular feat of ' yesterday. More than 100,000 persons lined the eight mile lap coarse when the starr ing signal was given. Society wo men drove out to Elgin from Chicago and near-by resorts at daybreak and took their places along the course. State troops again today patrolled the track. The four bad curves drew the largest part of the spectators, who wore looking for accidents. A corps of surgeons was stationed at each curve and on the two hills, down which the drivers coast in their ef forts to make time. It was expected the big race would be between Robertson in a Simplex and Oldfleld in a Knox. This Is one of the few times that the speed de mons ever have met in road compe tition. Thirty-six laps will be required for the completion of the course. The Elgin national trophy goes to the winner for a year together with a cash prize of $1,000. , The second man will get $300 and the third .$200.;.. ;; A. W. Grenier, in a National, was the first man at the tape. He was followed by Stinson in a Black Crow and Mulford in a Lossior. The hoodoo 13 was avoided by changing that number to 14 in the starting list. (Continued on Page Seven) MUNSEY TOURISTS .

Mars' Machine Fell, Near ly Drowning Aviator Wan Flying Over the Narrow For Op posite Fori Wadsworth When His . - Machine Pitched Down. , (By Leased Wire to The Times) .'Now York, Aug. 27 J. C, (Bud) Stars, an aviator, narrowly escaped death early today when he has hurl ed Into the Narrows opposite Fort Wadsworth, ' wblle attempting a thrilling flight from the Shcepahead Bay race track to Staten Island. . The aviator and his machine, a Curtiss biplane, fell a distance of about Bixty feet. Mars was rescued by the crew of a tug just when it seemed that he would be drowned, and carried to Sea Gate with the re mains of the aeroplane. Hundreds - of persons witnessed Mars', flight, which consisted of the circling of Manhattan and Brighton Peach and a dash through the air over Coney sland. The start was made early in the morning from the race track in the presence of Augustus Post, the ama teur aviator, who .was himself the victim of.a thrilling accidont yester day evening while attempting a flight at the track. . Mars had planned his flight for several days. It was his intention to sail through the air to Fort Wads worth .encircle the Staten Island fort and return to the track, in all a dis tance of about sixteen miles. The aviator also said that if the wind favored him he might attempt to fly over Fort Hancock, at Sandy Hook. 'The wind registered a velocity of about twelve miles an hour, when Mars and his mechanicians wheeled the machine into the middle of the track for the flight. The motor was tried and seemed to work perfectly. Mars climbed into the machine alone and gave orders to start the engine. He made a perfect start, ris ing gracefully and making a circle of the track until he had arisen to a height of about 100 feet. Then he shot in a straight line for Manhattan Beach, turned in a widle circle over the Manhattan Beach Hotel and then started off for Coney Island. Early risers in Coney Island and crowds on the trains saw the ma chine as it shot at high speed over Gravesend Bay and Bath Beach in the direction .of Fort Hamilton. Mars finally directed his machine so that it flew directly over the Nar rows and was heading straight for Fort Wadsworth when . the motor suddenly stopped. The machine was at that time di- recly over the Craven Shoal buoy off Hoffman Island. Mars could be seen snuggling to make the machine keep it's balance and circle down slowly, but in spite of what he could do, the aeroplane made a sudden dive and plunged into the water. Mars was flung from his seat into the water, when-the machine alight ed, and disappeared beneath the sur face for a moment. When he came up be grasped the framework of the aeroplane which was floating, and shouted for help. The wrecking tug Hustler was steaming up the bay nearby and at once put over to where the aviator was clinging to the wreck of the ma- hlne. ' '; . The tug reached Mars juBt as the remains of the aeroplane began to sink and he was pulled on board. Grappling irons were attached to the aeroplane and it was towed behind the tug to the dock of the Atlantic Yaeht Club at Sea Gate. Mars seem ed none-the worse for his experience and telephoned to the race track for an automobile to take him and the aeroplane back, He said he would at tempt a similar flight as soon as his machine had been repaired.

Crlppen and Ethel Clare LeNeve, ac cused of the murder of Belle Elmore, arrived this afternoon on the liner Megantic from Canada In custody of Inspector Dew, of Scotland Yard. At Birkenhead Crippen and his companion were taken aboard a spe cial train and started on a dash for London. In spite of all the precau tions of Inspector Dew and Sergeant Mitchell the identity of the; couple was learned, and a crowd gathered when they disembarked and again when they boarded the train, but the police took the party through.' Ethel LeNeve, who looked comely In her wig, bought in Canada, ap peared to suffer acutely under the gaze of the curious and the press men, and she hung her head as she was led by Wardresses Stone and Foster, who were sent to Canada to accompany her back. Crippen was nonchalant but there were, at times traces of nervousness in his manner. . ' Inspector Dew sent a long message to Scotland Yard before setting off for London, THE CANDIDATES HEARD Special Committee On Sixth District Primary Met Today Messi'K. fluik, Godwin, and McKin non Present Kacli Offered Suggi (nns For the - Cuming Primary The Le;:,nlit.y Quest ioned. The. special committee, consisting of James R. .Young, J. Brynn Grimes, and H. A. Fousliee, appointed by Chairman Kller, met here today for the purpose of . conferring' with the candidates and their friends relative to the holding of the voting primary in the sixth district, as ordered by the state executive committee. Auei hearing the three candidates t lie com mittee adjourned and will announce the plans in a short, time, probably late (.'lis afternoon. It was nearly , 2 : 0 ) o'clock when Chairman . Young railed the meeting to order. Those present besides the committee were:, H. L. Godwin, J. C." Clifford and Ei F. Young, of Dunn: A.-.I. McKinnou, of Max ton, and O. L. V'lark and Bay ard Clark, of Clarhton. Mr. Young stated that it was tin purpose of this meeting to get the various candidates and their friends together and hear any suggestions they might have to offer as to the voting primary, and that the commit tee was now ready to proceed. Mr. E. F.-Young suggested that it order to expedite matters and to avoid any possible argument between the advocates of the various plans that the committee hear each propo sition separate and only in the .pres ence of the advocates. This sug gestion was adopted, and each of the three candidates was allowed Ii0 'min utes to make any suggestion he tie sired, the others retiring from the room during this. The candidates were heard in al phabetical order, Mr. Clark, Mr. God win, and Mr. McKinnon.

Doubtless lie will make known his decision after the commit tee announces the plan of 'the pr: 111a ry. ,' The Legality of the i'liiiiary. Possibly the hardest 'problem that confronts the i-onmiittee is how u deal with Robeson and New Hanover counties, which have their own pri mary laws. Some contend that thi: is a serious question, as the system in those counties is made by legisla tive enactment, ami, therefore, can not be changed or amended by any action of the committee. Others hold that this proposed primary is one of the party, separate and distinct from the legalized primary, and in the con trol of tho committee. This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the special committee. It is generally understood that the Godwin men hold that these county laws do not interfere with the pro posed primary, while the anti-Godwin men say that it is a serious prop osition. . Will Help the Party. Congressman Godwin said today that the primary would help the con ditions in the party in that district, and would unite the factions. lie said if Mr. Clark should win he ex pected to render all the aid in his power to elect him, and would expect, and believe he would receive the hearty support of Mr. Clark '-should he be nominated for -.re-election.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 27 Theo dore Roosevelt is in the hands of his friends and the town has gone wild over him. The ex-president got in this morning after his long whirl across the continent. , He found cow boys and cowgirls of the alkali plains, Indians, in paint and feath ers, visitors in city attire all ready to whoop it up for him. As the Colonel's train pulled into the Cheyenne station a prolonged cheer split the air. , "Yeeip" cried the cowboys shrilly. Colonel Roose velt lifted his hat and showed his glistening teeth. "Teddy," "Teddy," declared the crowd, "we've got you at last." The former president started to step down from the train and was fairly grabbed up by the yelping cow boys. They seized his hand, patted him on the back and let out more ro bust cheers. "Why, this.is more than I expected," he cried. "You make me very glad I came here." Half of Cheyenne had been waiting up all night for the Rough Rider. They knew he would not get in till morning but they wanted ?o make sure they were at the station to yell for him when he got in. So the half that were up kept the other nan awaiie. i ney surgea tnrougu the town singing lustily and yelling all the time for "Teddy." Cheyenne had set apart this day of its frontier days fete for the Colonel. They saved the most thrill ing broncho-busting stunts, the hair raising races, tho Indian war dance, the 'trick' and fantastic roping along with a hundred of other things for the ex-president. Hy the time the day is over Col. Roosevelt will know what a frontiers day event in Cheyenne means.
