New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-09-18

The Baltimore News prints the fol-
lowing interesting dispatch from its
Washington correspondent:
The presidential stock of John A.
johnson governor of Minnesota. is
rising. Students of the democratic
situation take this view: If William ].
Bryan wants the nomination he can
have it. If, perchance, he shall make
up his mind eventually not to run
again, Governor Johnson is the man
upon whom the party can, probably,
unite. Among some Of Bryan's close
friends in the national capital the
impression is growing that he may de-
eide not to take the nomination. They
say he does not desire to lead his par
ty to another disastrous defeat, and
he is not at this time at all certain
that he can be elected.
His friends here say he may not give
his final decision until next spring.
He wants to wait and see what comes
Of the next session of congress. He
may keep his party in suspense until a
few weeks before the convention meets.
One thing he has determined on and
that is that the coterie of eastern and
southern democrats who have been
busy for several months trying to
break his hold on the party shall not
al 70 him q rronncoc to do tn
eliminating himself, if any is done,
and he wants to be in position to have
an influential part in naming the can
didate.
The latest move on the part Of the
eastern and southern representatives
Of the party-that in favor OF Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler of New Y ork
is regarded by most persons who
know what is going on, as another eff
fort on the part of the New York con-
servatives, who have been working
with few southern democrats, to
bring out candidate against Bryan.
These New York democrats of the
school that nominated Parker three
years ago are determined that Bryan
shall not have the vote of the empire
state in the national convention, and
they hope to keep him out of support
from New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and some of the southern states. They
have been at work on their program
for some months.
Their first thought was to back Judge
George Gray of Delaware, but the
was some talk of taking up Judson

In the estimate of disinherited OBJ
servers there can be no reunited demo-
cratic party with Bryan as the candi-
date. Neither can there be reunited
party with a candidate named by the
elements that controlled the conven-
ton in favor Of Parker three years
ago. These disinterested observers
say it does look as if johnson offers
a compromise that might be rsatisfac-
tory to everybody, shut what's the
use of specializing as long as Bryan
is to the front?" say these same disin-
terested observers. AN announce
ment from him that he will not run
again would open the way for harmo-
ny. It might not bring it, but it can
not come until he does make an an
nouncement of that kind

Worst Fatality in Years.

The fatality is one Of the worst
that this community has ever known.
and the city is plunged into grief,
so well-liked and popular were the
unfortunate victims. just in the flush
of manhood, who met such an un-
timely end. Relatives and friends
of the party went to Keyport this
morning, and the dread news brought
grief to many homes.
The Captains Story.
Word was brought to this city
early this morning by the captain
OF the st. Michaels, when the stop
was made here on the daily trip
to New York. He told the follow
ing story:
MY boat was late and was
steaming in toward Keyport at a
point about midway between the
monument in the bay, which marks
the state boundary line, and Key
port, when | heard cries for help in
the shoal water, about eight feet
deep, in the direction of the shore.
We steamed in as close as we could
and then lowered a boat and found
the survivors, clinging to the bow
of the boat, the only part that was
not submerged.
y"Hornsby was very faint and his
companions were helping him to re-
tain his hold and keep his head above
water. We got them into our boat
and then made a search for the 9TH
ers. After we saw that we could not
find them, we started for Keyport
under full steam.'
The captain says that the survivors
told him that they had been trying
to keep themselves afloat for nearly
two hours.
The boat is a small black clinker
built surf boat, barely large enough
to hold the party that was aboard.
Found Boat This Morning.
On the trip here this morning, the
steamer st. Michaels stopped and
picked up the boat, which had re-
manned practically stationary over
night, because when it turned up
side down, the anchor fell out and
held it. When picked up this morn
ing, about a foot of the boats stern
was wedged in the mud, the bow be-
ing buoyed up by the empty gaso-
lene tanks situated in the bow.
The boat is burned considerably
around the engine and the support
ing wood work, the rest being only
scorched. 1t was brought
here and tied between the ferry
and the steamboat dock.
Occurred at $40 O'Clock.
A watch in the pocket of one of
the young men was found to have

Seen From Soldiers.
A NEWS reporter learned this
morning at Richard Soldiers hotel,
near Morgan, that the people there
saw the party last night both before
the explosion and when it took place.
we heard them not far from
here they stid today, "a short while
before the accident, but they soon
steered off again. When the explo-
sion occurred, we saw the flames,
but supposed it to be merely a bon
fire, or the like, on the Staten Island
shore. They were about a mile and
a half, we should now judge, from
our place. The first We knew OF
what had happened was about lC
O'Clock this morning.
Large numbers of people, mostly
from South Amboy, have been walk.

any sign of the bodies. No search

We can tell.

this city to look for the bodies.
The survivors returned from Key
port to their homes shortly before
noon today and were attended by DR.

arrival. Nelson Macan was burned
about the hands and was suffering
from exposure. The physician says
that he will be all right in about two
days, if no complications set in.
