AMERICA REPRESENTED.
In Big International Balloon Race
in Germany.

NEW YORK. February 26.-America
will be represented in the race for the In
ternational balloon championship which
will be held at Stuttgart, Germany. The
challenge was sent by the Aero Club of
America to the Deutscher Luftsclliffer Ver-
band. which is the National Aeronautic
Club Of Germany. An elimination con-
test will be held at-Kansas City to de-
termine the three balloons to represent
the United States.
The contest will be held in Germany this
year owing to the fact that the champion
ship cup was won last year by Lieut..
Hans Gericke, when six balloons, repre-
senting three countries, started. Only
countries AFFILIATED with the International
Aeronautic Federation are eligible. As
England and France have indicated they
will enter two or three balloons EACH
there will probably be four countries rep

FOUR GOVERNORS FAVOR

Gov. Harmon's friends in this city are
jubilant today over the expression OF
opinion from four governors, all of whom
have declared that the Ohioan Is the
strongest democratic possibility. The
chief executives Of Connecticut. Florida,
Maine and South Carolina have publicly
declared their preference for Harmon, and
the campaign headquarters at the New
Ebbitt are filled today with new enthusi-
asm.
II am satisfied that Harmon is the only
man in the democratic party who can
beat President Taft is the blunt State
ment of Gov. Baldwin of Connecticut.

Plaisted Of Maine declares. Gov. Gill
christ of Florida points out that Gov.
Harmon has twice carried Ohio, cites the
wonderful majorities. particularly at his
last election, and continues: eff the demo-
cratic party carries New York and Ohio

of the close touch of Delaware and Con-
necticut to the pulse of New York and

and intimates that the fight will be made
on the tariff. :, s-e-
Gov. Blease's Views. ;
Gov. Harmon of Ohio is the strongest
democratic possibility in the opinion OF
Gov. Blease of South Carolina, according
to a statement sent out from the Harmon
/ headquarters here. Gov. Blease's opinion
is quoted by the Harmon headquarters
as follows:
while it is true that the Woodrow
family. closely allied through Gov. Will
son, are highly respected and influential
in South Carolina, there is a strong senti-
rnent here for Gov. Harmon. We expect
to send an uninstructed delegation to
Baltimore, but 1t will be delegation
friendly. to the Ohio governor"

Cablegram Never Sent.

the delayed telegram ever left the War
Department. 1t probably got mixed up
with the papers there, and never was

department for keeping records. Gen.
Bliss said he did not know what the ia
cilities were in the chief of Stairs office,
but IL any order had gone through the
adjutant generals office he was sure 1t
would have been recorded. He declared
he retained copies in the Ray case, be-
cause he regarded 1t as still pending, even
after the Secretary of War had ordered

Doubt Visit to Colombia.

There is strong doubt in official circles
here as to whether Secretary Knox will
include Colombia in his tour OF northern
South America, despite the action Of the
Colombian government in repudiating. the
statement of its former minister here.
Gen. Ospina, that such q visit would be
inopportune while the issues between the
two countries remain unsettled.
The Colombian president has said he
would be glad to have Mr.. Knox stop. at
Cartagena, but 1t IL feared some unpleas-
ant features beyond the control of the
authorities might attend such action. Eff
forts to ascertain Secretary Kn6x's plans
in the matter have, been sought by, the
free use of the wireless system, sbut SO
far without success. He is due to arrive
at Colon tomorrow morning, and UNI
doubtedly will make an authoritative
statement of his plans The impression
prevails here that unless he extends his
trip much beyond the period fixed by the
approved itinerary 1t will be impossible
for him to visit Cartagena.
