be in serious trouble off the North Caro-
lima coast. The vessel was in cOmmuni-
cation with the steamship Tagus ana

ship reporting the Terry's position as
latitude 3S:21 north and longitude 81
west.
The steamer Tagus. which plies be-
tween Bermuda and New York, left
Hamilton, Bermuda. at IL a. m. on Sat

ular schedule she would have been 800
miles from New York to the southeast
The revenue cutter Onondaga was re-
ported by the South Carolina TO be In
the immediate vicinity of the Terry.
When the Navy Department learned
that the torpedo boat destroyer Terry
was in distress. the powerful wireless
station here flashed out orders for all
United States war vessels to steam at
once to the little crafts assistance. Spe-
cial instructions were given TO the COM
mander Of the transport Prairie. at Nor
folk. Va, to sail at once in the search,
and a wireless message was sent inter-
cepting the crippled scout cruiser Salem,
which was turned back in the quest.
The Terry carries three officers and
eighty-three men. Lieutenant John c.
Fremont. jr.. is in command.

Their Unexpected Conference
Starts Third Party Talk
Among Democrats in
Washington.
| MANY CANDIDATES ON HAND
Wilson's Letter to Joline Mucp
Discussed-Former' Man
ager Charges Wall Street
Inspiration of Eric
tion Reports.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Colonel william
Jennings Bryan, Of Nebraska, and Sena-
tor Robert NJ. La Toilette, Of Wiscon-
sin. had a conference in the Union Sta
ton tonight on their joint arrival In
the city, the former man from the South
and the latter politician from the West
The meeting between the three-time
Presidential candidate of the Demo-
cratic party and the radical Repub-
lican who is seeking the Republican
nomination, was said to be accidental.
No sooner was it known that the radi-
cal politicians OF the two parties had
come together than tongues began to
wag and third party talk flow thick and
fast about the hotel corridors. 1t was
not wholly confined to members of the
Democratic National Committee. who
were gathering for the meeting to-mor-
row. Republicans, too showed lively
interest.
All dav the Democratic committeeman
had been seeking methods Of dealing
with the several perplexing question:
scheduled TO come up at tomorrow
meeting, but nearly every possible solu-
ton advanced seemed to depend on The
probable attitude of the Nebraska leader.
Progress was slow because of the gen.
eral desire to consult Mr.. Bryan, and his
arrival, scheduled for 4 p. m, was
awaited with great impatience. Finally
it was learned that his train had been
blockaded by wreck and was two hours
late.

How the Letter Got Out.

About six or eight months ago." he
said, II read a story of Wilson and
Bryan speaking from the same platform
over in New Jersey. 1 was considerably
amused, and as a matter of amusement
| showed II to some of my friends as
evidence of how a man can change his
views OF course, Governor Wilson has
a perfect right TO change his views IL
he sees fit. You know that since Or.
Wilson has left Princeton he has been
saying that there was no truth in what
he taught there for twenty years"
In this way, Mr.. Joline said, the con-
tents OF the letter became known.
Some persons" ne continued. ARE Try
in: to make it appear that because DR..
Wilson opposed my election as a trustee
at Princeton about year and a half
ago l am opposed to him now. but that
is not So"
Mr.. Joline said he cast his first vote
for Horace Greeley for President, and
had voted for every Democrat since then
until Bryan ran. Then he voted for Nc
Kinley and later voted for Taft. He
said he was for Taft against Wilson,

WRITER DOESN'T RECALL IT
Senator Smith Says Letter
Was from President of Prince

New Jersey.

Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey was extremely anxious. not so
many years ago. TO put William Jer-
nings Bryan i'm the down and out"
class. so far as active participation in
the affairs of the Democratic party was
concerned, it appeared yesterday, when
Adrian l.. Jolne, of this city, made pub
lie a letter from DR.. Wilson, in which
the Democratic aspirant told what he
thought of the Peerless One"
The letter to Mr.. Jollne was short and
concise. 1t was dated April 2I. 1907. at
which time Dr. Wilson was president Of
Princeton, and It told I'm one terse sem
tence just how the present Governor of
New Jersey felt toward Mr.. Bryan at
that time The letter follows:
Princeton, N. j., April 29, 1907.
My dear Mr.. Joline: Thank you very
much for sending me your address at
Parsons, Kan, before the board Of di-
rectors of the Missouri, Kansas G Texas
Railway. | have read il with relish and
entire agreement. Would that we could
do something at once dignfied and effec-
tive to knock Mr.. Bryan once for all into
a cooked hat!
New-York tribune., 1912-01-08


Colonel Bryan drove from the station
TO the home of Cotter T. Bride, his
closest friend in Washington He de-
clined to talk about any of the problems
the national committee will have TO
solve. After removing travel stains,
Colonel Bryan drove to the hotel apart
ment of Norman E. Mack, chairman OF
the national committee. The colonel
dined with Mr. Mack.
The New York crowd which eddied
into the Shoreham I'm the wake of the
globular mass of Democratic politicians
clustered about the now portly form of
William Jennings Bryan tonight, was
represented by Senator O'Gorman,
Murphy, Smith and Donahue. Mack
had already established himself at the
hotel and was there when the others
arrived.
There was a marked contrast between
the attitude of the ardent Bryan adj
herents and the sedate and leisurely
demeanor of the New York contingent.
While Charlie Murphy and his friends
occupied one corner of the dining room
IN a condition of splendid isolation and
Senator OGorman chatted quietly with
one or two acquaintances, the storm
centred on the door Of the Nebraskan's
rooms. where committeeman, Senator'S
and mere politicians jostled one another
to gain admission to shake hands with
him.
Suspicious OF conspiracy, however, the
politicians kept one eye open in the di-
rection of Murphy. ard. although there
was nothing on the surface to indicate
IL there was a general impression abroad
that the Tammany leader was helping
10 lay the plan to smother the Bryan
influence in the meeting OF the commit
tee.
This will centre on the fight for the
Presidential primaries. 1t looked very
much tonight as If the Bryan forces
would not obtain victory on this point,
or. If they do, that it will be an innocu-
Gus one. Senator O'Gorman, among
many others including members Of the
National Committee, took the attitude
that II was none of the committees
business how the delegates We're chosen,
but a matter for the states alone. The
Southern members particularly were in
clined TO oppose the primary idea in ac-
cordance with their general attitude on
the question of state rights

Toilette tonight gave the same expIana-
ton by telephone, but in the minds OF
some there remained a little skepticism.
It was reported that Senator La Fol-
lette had gone TO the station 10 meet Mr..
Bryan. When asked about this report
the Senator said that the meeting was
purely accidental, resulting from the fact
that their trains happened to get in at
the same hour.

POLITICIANS ARE WORRIED
KANSAS SOCIALIST VOTE THE
DISTURBING ELEMENT.
Leaders in Both Old Parties Busy
Figuring on Which sustains the
Greatest Loss.

Topeka, Aug. 21.-The gain of 1900
in the Socialist vote in the primary
over the primary of two years ago has
set the Kansas politicians to talking.
In the 1910 primary there were 3,201
Socialist votes cast. In the primary
this year the highest Socialist vote
was 4,723. Two years ago in the
general election there were 10000 So.
cialist ballots cast and figuring on the
same basis for this year there should
be more than $4,000 Socialist votes
cast in the general election.
Where this detection comes from Is
what is worrying the politicians OF
both the Democratic and Republican
parties, as the loss of an additional
5000 votes in either or both of the
two old parties might work a serious
handicap and really change the re.
suit of the election, according to
which party suffered the greatest loss.
The official primary returns show
that the Socialists 'vote 'er straight"
and clear down the line. In only
three Kansas counties of the 105 no
Socialists voted. Those were Wal
lace, Stevens and Jackson counties,
while in Crawford and Cherokee coun.
ties and some of the eastern counties
the Socialists voted almost as strong
as the Democrats. The peculiar thing
about the Socialist returns is that in
more than 80 counties every candidate
received exactly the same number of
votes. In Bourbon county each So.
cialist candidate received 50 votes,
clear down the line to state senator
In Greeley county each candidate re.
ceived one vote. there appearing to
be only one Socialist in that county.
