.Spe<id cdbie Despatch TO THE SrN.
ATHENS. May "a despatch to the
Hesiia from Smyrna says that the result
of the inquiry of the American Consul
into the sinking Of the steamship Texas
in the Dardanelles does not add much of
consequence except that the testimony
OF the commander of the fort seems to
show that the ship was acting contrary
to the regulations in not having a separate
pilot but was following another piloted
steamer. The commander admitted that
he fired two blank cartridges which he
followed with five ball shots.
The Texas did not stop. but deviated
from her course and crossed the line
of mines, exploding one and causing
her to sink in a few minutes. The ex-
plosion. he said. could not have been
caused ny the shot. as the guns were not
directed at the ship. As the explosion
occurred amidships and not at the PROV,
the commanders testimony is regarded
as inconclusive.
The inquiry shoVed that 1870 persons
were aboard. Of whom sixty-seven were
saved.

ROOSEVELT NOW HAS 24O
Twenty States Are Yet to Elect
333 Delegates. Of Which Taft
Nav Get Half.

WASHINGTON. May Col Roosevelt
added two delegates to his list to-day
In the Fifth Kansas district. The COM
plete returns to date give President Taft
%N deleagtes instructed or pledged to
vote for him in the Chicago convention.
This total includes the eight delegates at
large from Massachusetts who have been
renounced by Col. Roosevelt and who are
not claimed by the Roosevelt managers
This leaves only eighty-six delegates
needed by President Taft to insure his
nomination in the Chicago convention
The States Of Arkansas and Nevada are
ready to act finally for Taft and these
States will add twenty -four more dele
gates to the Taft column, bringing the
total alSoady in sight up to las. or within
sixty two of the $40 delegates necessary to
nominate.
Col. Roosevelt. on the other hand. now
has 2iO delegates and will be obliged TO
get 800 Of the 33s still to be selected il
he is to be successful. These figures are.
however. based on the proposition that
the Taft delegates will be seated at Chi
cago and that Mr.. Roose Welt will not be
able to break into the Southern delegation
already instructed or pledged to Taft
1t ia very apparent therefore that Col.
Roosevelts fight from now on will be
against tremendous odds. Here are the
States besides Arkansas and Nevada
which are still to elect delegates:

OF these States President Taft is cert in
to get Wyoming and Utah. II looks now
M II he would have Arizona and Washing
ton and his mana gers expect that he will
be able to control a Majority of the dele
CATION from Ohio. Maryland and New
Jersey. and that he will at least break
even with Roosevelt in several OF the
other States. The Taft managers were
claiming to-day that they now have
487 delegates. They give Roosevelt only
227.
Here is the standing of the delegates

WASHINGTON. May THE State De-

reports of extensive discoveries of gold
in that country.
According to the State Department
advices. many Americans are arriving

circulated in a letter signed by a man
named Ferguson. This letter, which is
said TO have been widely circulated in
the United States. especially in the West,

letters and cablegrams of inquiry regard
ing the alleged gold discoveries in Bolivia
from Americans about To proceed 10 that

Plans are being made by the Taft man

thar are still 10 cleo; delegates TO tho

arrive in Washington from Georgia
tomorrow. and on saturday h. will
deliver five or six speeches in Maryland.
which is to hold its Presidential prefer
ence primary next Monday Col Roose-
welt also will invade Maryland the latter
part Of this week.
The big struggle between President
Taft and Col, Roosevelt will. however
take place in the States Of New Jersey
and Ohio. These two States together
have 20 delegates TO the Chicago con.
vention, and the results in them are likely
to decide the contest The primaries
In both of these States come late in
Ohio on May II and in New Jersey
on May .S. II is possible that President
Taft may have picked up enough dele
the Ohio primaries. bu; whether he has
or not i, is certain that Col. Roosevelt
will make a terrific campaign in tha,
State.

hard fight for this State because Of the
effect that victory there may have upon
the Southern delegates pledged to Taft
and for the moral effect il will have on
the Chicago convention.
If the Massachusetts delegates az large
vote for Col Roosevelt in the Chicago
convention there will be interesting de-
yelopments in delegations from other
States having Presidential preference
primaries President Taf's supporters
said to-day that there are twenty-tw o
members OF the Illinois delegation who are
favorable to President Taft. These are
the delegates who were selected by the
regular convention system, the effec;
OF the Illinois Presidential preference
primary law. which was passed
at the eleventh hour. having been TO
bind all of these delegates TO vote for the
preference of the State. The Taft man.
ayers contend also that there are six
Taft delegates in Oregon who are to vote
for Roosevelt under the Presidential
preference expression II the NIassa-
rhusetts delegates AT large ignore the
Presidential preference vote in that
State and cast their ballots for Col. Roose-
welt. their action is likely to be seized
upon as precedent by some Illinois
and possibly some of the Oregon dele
gates.
This is the situation that Col Roosevelt
had in mind when he renounced all claim
