tically every vessel able to cruise at
the time set for the grand review will

Navy Department estimates there
will be about 120 vessels in New York

Although the Navy Department ex.

Two of the greatest dreadnoughts

than a month after they are placed
In commission. Final plans have not
been finished, although 1t Is known
that the assembly will be materially

demonstration last year. The ships
participating in the review at New

Berlin, Aug. S--The celebration of
the centenary of the great firm of
Krupps, for which preparations have
been going forward for nearly two
years, began today at Essen. The
celebration is attended by the EN-.

Of the pageant will be an episode from

army are to play the parts of knights.
During the period of the celebration
the Emperor and other royal guests
are quartered at the villa Hugel, the
splendid country house of Herr
Krupp Won Bohlen.Halbach, who by
marrying the elder daughter of the
late Hes| Krupp became the head of
the firm. The villa Is located Just
outside Essen. The other notable
guests at the celebration are being
accommodated at the hotel In Essen
maintained by the Krupp company
exclusively for the accommodation of
foreign buyers of their guns. armor
and ships, who are always at Essen
IN large numbers.
The strong personal interest that
the Emperor Is manifesting In the
celebration Is not surprising In view

Taft Again Says
He Will Not Quit

CHICAGO, June 21.-President Taft
will not withdraw from the race for
the nomination and there will be no
compromise candidate with his con-
sent.
The president asserted this in a talk
he had from Washington over the long
distance phone early today with Con-
gresham Mckinley, his campaign man
ager.
The president desired that this idea
be communicated to the delegates and
the people, but without the statement
that it came directly from himself.
One of his most powerful supporters
on the national committee, however,
thought that it might be better to let
it be known that this was the atti
tude of the president himself, and thus
set at rest the reports that he is tired
Of the fight and that he desires to re-
tire in favor of some man-perhaps
Cummins or Hadley-who might be
able to make a better appeal to the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican party

Convention Likely
To Last Till Tuesday

CHICAGO, June 21.-The Republican
national convention may last into next
week That this is likely was revealed
today by the admission of Colonel Har-
ny S. New, chairman Of the committee
on arrangements, that he has notified
Stuart Spalding, manager of the Coli
scum, that the national committee viii
exercise its option on the building for
all Of next week
"Why will the convention need the
Coliseum for so long a timer" Colonel
New was asked.
Because, as we figure is now, the
convention may not adjourn before
Tuesday afternoon" was the reply.
Our contract requires US to leave the
building as we found it. and it will
take about two days to do that part or
the work. So you see we viii need
most of next week, if not all of it."
Colonel New added that the delays
that have occurred viii probably make
an adjournment today OF tomorrow
out of the question.
