Marblehead, Mass, Aug. 12.-Light
and contrary winds made the run of
the New York Yacht Club fleet across
Massachusetts bay to this port. today,
long and tedious affair from sail
ing standpoint, but the remarkably
clear weather gave the power division
grand day at sea. The atmosphere
had been blown SO free of fog and
mist that from a point between the
end of Cape Cod and Minots light it
was possible to see the entire coast
line of the bay from Race Point to
Cape Ann.
The racers. however, were all day
in making the run and the 50-footer
Grayling, owned by Rear Commodore
u. p. Morgan. and sailed by his son,
Junius s. Morgan, did not reach the
finish line until the sunset gun was
techoing about the harbor.
The cups contributed by Commodore
Dallas B. Pratt were won by the
Grayling in the first division of sloops,
no prize being awarded; in the second
division, the Irolita, owned and sailed
by E. w. Clark of Philadelphia in the
first division of schooners, and the
Kenona owned and sailed by Edgar
Palmer of New York in the second
division of two-stickers
The power division led the racers
into the harbor by several hours,
yachts dropping into the harbor every
few minutes after o'clock until at
sunset more than $50 boats set anchor
lights. During the evening, still more
arrived and by morning il is expect
ed that the harbor will float a record
breaking fleet.
The New York yachts will run down
to Gloucester, tomorrow, the racers
having a 24-mile contest in Massa-
chusetts bay for the navy challenge
cups. The course for this race will
be from half way rock around Boston

There were II starters from Province
town, this morning, in the racing divi-
sion, while about IL steam yachts
came out to see the sport and then
kept on to Marblehead. The fleet was
not started, until 10 o'clock. for after

Minister Gamboa, however, was look :
ed upon by officials here as the begin

tions, through which the Mexican
government might be informally and
the more fully acquainted with the
ideas of the Washington administra-
ton. 1t has been left entirely to Mr.
Lind's discretion upon whom to call
While there is nothing in Mr.. Lind's
instructions which would prevent him
from calling on Provisional President
Huerta, 1t is not regarded that he
would do so unless the latter had in
dieated his desire to receive the UNI
official envoy. St"
Certain international aspects of the
situation here gave added interest to
Mr.. Linds mission in Mexico. 1t be-
came known that Japan which had
hitherto recognized the Huerta gov
eminent had practically decided not to
receive Gen. Felix Diaz, special am
bassador to express thanks for parti-
cipation by Japan in Mexieo's centen-
NAL few years ago. Likewise the

tory speech to President Huerta, en-
couraged administration officials to
believe that the foreign powers would
give their moral support to the eff
forts of President Wilson through
constitutional processes to influence
the restoration of peace in Mexico
The administration has decided to keep
foreign governments fully informed as to
various steps taken and, while Mr.. Lind
talked with Minister GAMBIA. today, it
is not considered likely that the note ex-
pressing the views of the United States
government will be presented for several
days either to the Huerta government or
to foreign nations.

Pertanee of the losses.
The first losses were discovered March
4. Some minor structural plans OF the

Documents not especially secret disaP-
peared. Navy officials say they are not
much concerned over the Importance of
what already has been lost as they are
TO find the leak and prevent further
losses. Each battleship hss several sets
of plans. which are sometimes widely
distributed among the bureaus and con-
tractors. The general plan is never very
much of a secret.

statement:
