when that boat collided with the British
cruiser Hawke last September.
The Titanic carried over 400 passen-
gers, 3ls in the first cabin and 262 in
the second cabin.
Steamship men here today character
lied the disaster as "the most startling
news which has come in from the sea
since the advent of wireless telegraphy."
First News of Accident.
The first heard of the accident was
aout l o'clock this morning when q
bulletin from Montreal stated that the
Allan line Offices there had received q
wireless from Capt. Gambell of their
steamer Virginian, stating that the
Titanic was calling for assistance after
collision with an iceberg The Vir-
glnians $ captain added that he was head
Ing his boat for the Titanic, whose posi-
ton was said to be about $50 miles south
of Cape Race. n. r.
Immediate inquiry by the Associated
Press in an urgent dispatch to the Mar
conf station at Cape Race was answered
soon afterward in the following words:
AT 1925 O'Clock last night the steam
ship Titanic called s. o. s. and re-
ported having struck an iceberg. The
steamer said that immediate assistance
was required. Half an hour afterward
another message came reporting that
they were sinking by the head, and that
women were being put of in the lffeboats.
Ihe weather was calm and clear. the
I1tanics wireless operator reported; and
ne gave the position of the vessel as
.46 north latitude and SO. II west longt-
tude
The Olympic at midnight was in lati-
tude 1882 north and longitude 81 1S west.

Iltan1c The last signals from the Titanic
were heard by the Virginia at 1927 a. m.
ne wireless operator on the Virgin.an
says these signals were blurred and ended
abruptly"
Great Alarm Caused.
Nothing could have caused much great
er alarm than this meager report did in
New York this morning.
The newspaper Offices were besieged
early today by inquiry from hundreds Of
persons shocked by the fraementary
newspaper dispatches seen at the break
iast tables. but In the early morning
hours there was nothing vital to add tO
the alarming reports from Cape Race.
Something further was expected every
moment. but there was nothing at hand

quarter.

 LAND.
Has Done Away With the Rubber Stamp and Signs His Name

 Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 1-Formal an- nouncement was made today by Gov. Wilson that he will not resign the governorship of New Jersey during his campa gn for the presidency
 The governor has kept his mind open on the question of resigning ever since the Baltimore Convention. Leading Democrats in the State. how ever, have urged him to follow the precedent of Grover Cleveland, who was nominated for the presidency, but cont 'nued in the office of gover- nor of New York.
 Gov. Wilson is keenly interested in prospective delegates from commit tees Investigating the tax problem and the efficiency of state affairs in New Jersey and prominent Demo- crats have asked him not to forsake his office unless called to higher one.
 Governor Wilson gave his attention early today to the problem of organ izing the National Democratic Com mittee. The governor said the delay in organization was due to the com m'ttee's earnest desire to omake thor ough preparations fer the division of campaign labor

Wilson Will Confer With McCombs in New York
 Today.
COMMITTEE INACTIVE
Failure of Campaign Committee to
 Committee AmnOyS Governor.

Sea Gir,, x. J., Aug. Ex-Governor Wilson announced tonight that he will go t0 New York tomorrow eve Il ng for the purpose of eonferring with Chairman William N. MeCombs, of the Democratic campaign commit tee, concerning the selection of
 ice chairman. a treasurer and d finance committee. The governor said sign fieantly that he expects to be in conference with McCombs un- til midnight and that in all probab- lty there will be no announcement of the result of their deliberations be- fore Sunday or Monday.
 There has been persistent rumors of discord among the members of he campa 2n committee. The gover- nor's determination to go to New York is male at the conclusion of wo weeks inacton cn the part of the committee which had been expected to get down to earnest business with in day or two after it was organiZ- ed on July 19.
 It is believed that the governor is annoyed at the committees failure to agree on a treasurer and finance committee, the result of which has been a two weeks delay in getting the collection of campaign fund under way. Indeed the only collec- tion that has been made thus far has been in the nature of voluntary con- tributons whi oh have reached here through the mails. The fund at present amounts to bare $12,000. whereas several hundred thousand will be needed.
 For scme unknown reason Chair man McCombs has remained severely away while at least seven of the members of the campaign committee have been here within the last few days with blood in their eyes.

 Congressional leaders in both houses are realizing that any serious blunder may change the result of tbe coming presidential election. Caution" seems to be the watchword. Democratic lead CTS are pondering this warning of the Washington Post, viz: Never forgetting that while they have lessened the public fear of intrusting their party with the ad- ministration of executive and legislative power, the democratic leaders should place their veto firmly and decisively upon any suggestion toward injury to the law-abiding and business interests of the country. One rash stroke at the prosperity of the people may undo in a day all that has been accomplished in months and years. True progress possesses nothing in common with destruct- i've radicalism. Personal and fact ional designs and future ambitions should not be permitted to inter rupt the calm and considerate plans of the congressional leaders. 7"
