WASHINGTON. June Authorization
that the new dreadnaught Arkansas has
met with an accident on it's trial trip

badly dented, but not broken by reef or
ridge in it's course, but that efforts will
be made to continue the trial trips re-
gardless of the accident. The reports does

CHICAGO, June 4.-(Special Telegram,
Il arrived here this morning and received
warm welcome from a small army Of
newspaper correspondents, reporters and
Photographers who seeed to be acting ~
concert to make victims of every unwary
visitor suspected of having anything to
do with the presidential contest or the
coming national convention. They seemed
to think that l might be bringing along
with me from Nebraska some informa-
tion they had not been able to wor out
of others, but l think l got more news
out Of them than they did out Of me- \
The advance guard of the national cont
mittee already here is still small, but by
tomorrow it is expected more of the
members will be in ana all on hand for
the meeting Thursday. The political
sentinels for the opposing candidates are
standing firm by their arms, the Taft
men having their confidence strengthened
by the addition of the six delegates-at-
large from Ohio to the Taft column and
the Roosevelt folks taking inspiration
fro the rtported conversion of two dele
gates -at-large.
l have talked with all of the commit
teemen here those favoring Roosevelt
as We'll as those favoring Taft, but
fail to find any one who takes stock in
the fantastic theory that had ceased to
he member of the committee. Even
my old friend, Ormsby McHarg, who is
regarded as the Roosevelt chief Of STATE,
hailed me as Mr. Chairman" right in
front of a lot of other people just as If
oblivious that he was thereby failing to
recognize the claims of the pretender
from Nebraska.
Public interest is focused just now
on the contest cases, and it is quite
possible, I may even say probable, that
the public will be admitted to the hear
ings through the press correspondents as
their representatives. Some plan to this
end is apparently acceptable to all con-
