HASKELL BLAMES
REPUBLICAN VOTE
State Convention to Ratify Work of
Primary Probably Will Be
Held August 81

Oklahoma City, Aug. S.-Ex-Gover,
nor G. N. Haskell today admitted his
defeat by Senator Robert L. owen for
the democratic nomination for the
United States senate, but declared it
was brought about by republicans par.
ticipating in the democratic primary
He will not make formal statement
until the returns have been canyassed
by the state election board, which, he
says, should be in a few days, and
then he viii speak of the situation in
detail
It is asserted by his organization
that something more than 10000 re
publicans voted democratic tickets last
Tuesday, but the basis for this con.
clusion is not made public They also
concede that Senator Owen has as
much as 10000 majority. Practically
every county has been heard from
here, either upon the complete re-
turns or upon the judgment of politi-
cal workers as to what they believe
the majorities will be, and the most
conservative reviewers in Oklahoma
City think the Haskell admission of
Senator Owens majority is 10000
votes too low Senator Owens man
ayers have not changed their figures
from $4,000.

|employe of hotel informed me that
the Equitable building was on fire.
When l arrived at the building there
were no flames but plenty of smoke.
l hurried into one of the vaults to get
some valuable papers followed by one
of the night watchmen. The vault has
a spring lock and / left my keys out
side.
when the man and l started to
leave the door swung shut and we were
both prisoners. The smoke was awful.
We screamed and shouted but it
seemed We were doomed The other
man was alive up to half an hour ago
but just before l was carried out he
tainted and think he must be dead
by this time"
Mr.. Giblin was then taken to the
Hudson street hospital. He was very
weak but in no immediate danger.
The officers Of the Hartman line,
which were in the building were being
moved to 165 Broadway. Everything
had been moved save the papers in the
legal department. Many valuable rec
ords, including the autobiography OF
Mr.. Hartman were left there and it
is believed that these and other valu-
able records were destroyed.
President Lovett of the Hartman
lines said that all Of the Union and
Southern Pacific securities held in the
treasury were kept outside the city,
that the monetary loss to the railroads
would be small Mr.. Lovett said that
the extent or inconvenience suffered
because Of the loss of records will Of
hot hn re,
have been destroyed. The records re-
ferred to include thos of the comp
trollers department, the treasurers Of
fee and transfer department.
The officers of the Equitable Trust
Co., escaped the flames but were dam
aged by water, as were the Offices of
August Belmont, whose Offices were
practically untouched by the flames.
Four Dead; Five Hurt; Many Missing.
Four men are known to be dead and
five injured in the fire and several per.
sons are missing including Battalion
Chief Walsh, whose body has not been
found. Conservative estimates of the
damages this afternoon place the loss
in the neighborhood OF $10,000,0O0.
while others say the loss will run
as high as $15.000.0O0.
According to an officer of the Equi-
table, the great safety deposit vaults
in the building contained securities
valued between $3.50 100000 and $780,
100000. The vaults are believed to
be intact.
An officer of the Equitable Life AS
surance society said that the society
had duplicates of every record which
were stored in building several
blocks away from the burned struc-
ture. The fire. he said, would not at
feet the company's business with its
policy holders throughout the country.

lieyed to have lost his life IN the

The fire was in the heart of the
financial district and the flames were
fought mainly from the tops Of tower
ing skyscrapers. Business was
/ brought almost to a complete stand
still among banking and brokerage
houses whose employees could not

ties. Financial firms stopped business
to care for the flremen. u
