Wherever he spoke during his five
days in the state. he made a remark

endorsement, Woodrow Wilson and
Champ Clark are running close, with
Wilson in the lead The Harmon vote
is practically in a majority of the
counties.
In the Republican congressional
race, W. c. Hawley. now representing
the first district, has been re-nomi-
mated. He had no opposition. N. ].

Selling Wins Over Bourne, Jr.
The result in the Third District is
still in doubt. with the contest be-

prises MuItnomah county. Benjamin
Selling apparently has won the nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket for

over Jonathan Bourne, Jr. While
Bourne carried MultnOmah county,
by small number of votes, the
State is running heavily in Settings
favor.
Lane (Democrat) for Senatorship.
DR.. Harry Lane is believed to have
secured the Democratic nomination
for the Senatorial candidacy, but re-
turns in the Democratic senatorial
race are as meager. The Democrats
presented no candidates for Congress

Colonel Makes Clean Sweep
in Nebraska Preferential
Primaries
CHAMP CLARK CARRIES STATE
ResuIts for Lesser Offices Still in
Doubt as Counting is Not
sFinished.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican,
Omaha, Neb., April 2O.-Colonel
Rooseveh seems t3 have been the
favOrite gf the Republicans in the
statewide Presidential preference pri
mary held in Nebraska yesterday and
indications are that Champ Clark was
the choice of the Democrats. 1t is
believed that Roosevelt has carried
delegates that have been selected by
districts and at large. Due to the lara
closing of the polls, only about one
seventh of the vote, it is estimated,
has been counted, but the returns re-
ceived thus far are from so many diff
ferent sections OF the state are be-
lieved to show the general trend of
the voting.
Clark Carries State.
Supporters Of Harmon practically
abandoned hope at daybreak today
when returns from Douglas county of
the second district. in which Omaha,
showed that the Ohio governors
strength here had been greatly over es-
timated by them. Clark supporters
We're surprised greatly by his showing
in the First District, in which Mr..
Bryan resides. That was thought to
be a Wilson district. There remains
but little doubt that Clark has carried
the First, Fourth, Fifth and probably
the Sixth districts and the state Al
large.
AS III most precincts the heads Of
the tickets were counted first, there
still is doubt as to the winners in the
races for nominations to the lower
offices. Early reports gave former
Governor Ashton c. Shallenberger a
lead over his three opponents for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator. The two Republican
aspirants for the Senatorial no:nina
ton, Norris Brown and George w.
Norris, insurgent leader of the lass
House, seemed to be running neck and
neck.

Investigations "Brutally Unfair
]. Bruce Ismay discussed with in
terviewers the work of the Senate in
vestigating committee which he char
acterized as "brutally unfair" He
said Il cannot understand this sena-
torial inquiry. They are going at it in
a manner that seems unjust, and the
injustice lies heaviest upon me. Why,
| cannot even protect myself by hav-
ing my counsel ask questions. Don't
misunderstood me by thinking l
meant questions calculated TO twist
witnesses up; on the contrary, ques-
tions tending to simplify involved
meanings"
Ismay Explains.
Discussing his departure from the
Titanic, Mr.. Ismay said: Il have
searched my mind with deepest care
I have thought long over each single
incident that could recall. l am sure
that | did nothing that | should not
have done. My conscience is clear
and have not been a lenient Judge OF
my acts.

escape when it came to me, did mo-
seek it. Every woman and child haC

And more, all the men within
reach had been taken care of before

take my turn? There are only twt

southern or long course" in which
the Titanic met its fate. The Titanic
was sixty miles south of the regular
southern course, and was even in dan
ger OF collision with east bound
steamers.
Time to Europe Lengthened.
The new route east bound provides
that steamships shall dip to latitude
SO minutes 20 seconds on the first
third of their course, making a total
distance from New York to Sastnet
OF 5000 miles, where the distance now
is reckoned at 1858 miles. The loss
OF time on the new course will be
about nine hours for a "a knot boat.
Boats of the Olympic class may be
eleven or fourteen hours longer in
crossing. They will gain, however, in
having clear weather most Of the time
and avoiding delays from fog.
Had Been No Boat Drills.
I There was some criticism among
the survivors here of the Titanic
crews inability to handle the life
boats. Albert Major, steward on the
Titanic, admitted that there had been
no boat drills and that the life boats
were poorly handled. "One thing
comes to my mind above all else" he
said I'VE of the crew realized at the
! start of the trouble that we were un
organized, and although every man
did his best we were hindered in get
ting the best results because we could
not pull together. There had not beer
a single boat drill on the Titanic"
