ing along at top speed early today, the
White Star liner Olympic, largest Of
ocean craft, smashed into sub
merged wreck, tearing blade from
her propeller, according to wireless
message received at the local office
of the line. The first report said that
the big liner had been seriously dam
aged but would proceed under her
own steam to Belfast, where she could
be docked in the yards where she was
built.
Shortly afterward, however, the cf-
ficials issued a statement saying the
only damage was that the propeller
blade had been torn off, and that the
big liner would make her regular
ports and discharge her passengers
before going to Belfast According tc
reports, next weeks sailing date will
be kept by the Olympic.
No particulars of the accident reach
ed here. This is the second mishap tc
the big liner, as she narrowly escaped
being sunk in collision with the Brit
ish cruiser Hawke year ago. Al
that time she was rammed in the
solent and limped back to port. Will

The fact that there is sunkeI

guilty by the jury in Federal Judge

HYDE READY FOR TRIAL
But City Chamberlain's Case
Cant Come Up Before October.

Charles II HYDE former city Chamber
lain. sienifed his consent to the trial OF
the criminal charge against him by with
drawing Yesterday the writ Of habeas
corpus which he had sworn out TO prevent
his being tried before Justice Davis.
The case came before Justice Giegerich
on one Of the many moves made by HYDE
TO avoid being placed on trial before Jus
tice Davis on the indictment against him
for bribery. HYDE asserting that he would
not have a fair trial 1t was to avoid this
that the former Chamberlain surrendered
himself IN the Tombs and then got out a
writ Of habeas corpus in the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn
The Appellate Division in BROOKLYN sent
the case back 10 New York County. In the
meantime Justice Davis sat I'm the Criminal
Branch Of the Supreme Court in April. and
that part Of the court is no longer in SEES
sion. HYDE has been free without bail
His attorney YESTERDAY withdrew the writ
and asked that bail of $500 he renewed
There was no objection from the District
ATTORNEY. and Andrew W FitzgihhOn. Of
No 463 West 14oth street. went on the bond
HYDE is now ready for trial but the
Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court will
not again be in session until October. when
Justice Blanchard will sit there.
