LINERS IN
 COLLISION
Lorraine Drives Big Hole in Stern of Prince Frederich
 Wilhelm
Especial from United Press. }

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Nov. 17.-While the Friedrich Wilhelm and the French liner Lorraine were starting on their outward voyage, today, they coll1ded in the North river. Both steamers immediately returned to their piers to determine just how much damage had been done.
 The accident is believed to have been caused by the strong tide that was running, which made both steamers more or less unmanageable the stern of the Friedrich Wilhelm and was in turn damaged about the bows. Tugs in the vicinity whistled an alarm and many river craft head ed for the scene in the belief that one of the steamers was in a bad fused assistance and made their piers in safety.
 There was much excitement among the passengers for few moments
 but it was plain that there was no real danger and the timid were hur- riedly reaSsured.
 The Prince Friedrich had backed out into the stream and partly swung around, headed down stream, when the Lorraine hit her. The Lorralne's
 bow struck the overhang of the Friedrich, smashing her stern rail, ripping up a section of her deck and
 breaking her plates for 10 feet below the deck line. A hole was smashed in the bow of the Lorraine, 12 or 15 feet square. It was high up in the bows, above the hawser holes. The plates were crushed in so that clear view into the forecastle is possible. A number of sailors had narrow es- capes. Captain Maurras, of the Ger
 man liner. blamed the French ship for the crash. The French officers
 say that the accident was unavoid- | able. According to them the Lor- ! raine was interfered with by a float l of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. In i avoiding the float the steamer was caught by the tide. The Lorraine re- l turned immediately to her slip but the German commander kept on until l ordered back by his agency. There | was not wild panic on the liners. | Almost before the vessels came to- gether every man in the crews was at his place and the passengers were reassured. Many were thrown off their feet by the force of the impact | but no one was hurt. Repairs will l be made at once and both steamers hope to be able to resume their voy- age within a short time.

 "If they bring up a man on the convention floor who is capable. able and willing to succeed Gompers. I may support him. It depends, though on how he stands. He must win his support by his own personal grit.'
