SIR THOMAS L|PTON'S
YACHT, SHAMROCK III,
LAUNCHED IN GOSP0RT
Little English Shipping Town Is
Gaily Decorated in Honor
of Occasion
BY Associated Press

Gosfort Eng, May 26.-Shamrock
". the challenger for the Americans
cup, was launched here to-day and
christened by the Countess of Shaftes-
bury.
The new challenger took the water
on the stroke of noon. There was no
hitch in the arrangements and she
slid down the ways as easily as the
Countess of, Shaftesbury, who had
done similar service for Shamrock III,
christened Sir Lipton's latest cham
pion.
The little shipping town was gaily
decorated with American and British
flags with which was intermingled the
yellow flag with the big green sham
rock of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club
while everybody present also wore a
Shamrock.
The British battleships in the har-
Dor were firing salute in honor of the
Queens birthday as Shamrock " was
launched and most of the inha bitants
of the town thought the firing was
salute for the yacht.
Very few of the hundred guests of
Sir Thomas Upton obtained a glimpse
of the yacht, as the shed in which she
had been hidden since her keel was
laid is still standing.
Many cablegrams and tele. .Iams
with good wishers were received to-
day by both Sir Thomas Upton and
Charles E. Nicholson, thee designer.
Sir TIL mas entertained his guests
at luncheon after the launching.

MACHINE SLATE
MAY BE. CRACKED
Looks as Though McNair and a
Couple Of Anti i-Machinists
Are State Nominees

According to reports reaching the
city this afternoon there is a chance
that the Democratic machine slate in
the recent primary may have been
broken. W. N. McNair. who was
fought by the Mccormick machine,
was nominated for Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, judging from returns.
The indications are that the ma
chine lost two of It's slate for Con-
gress-at-large, although Chairman
Norris is claiming all of them. The
only ones sure are Bright and Cation.
Clark and Crosby, who did not have
the machine sanction are running very
close and Meyers is not so far behind
Seibert, Potter County reorganizer,
is in doubt.
1t will take the official count to see
how far ahead of everyone Brum-
baugh and Houck ran.
Henry Budd, candidate for Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
Senator, to-day filed his expense ac-
count showing that he had expended

four hours to dock when she came
to this port on her maiden voyage

steamed out of her berth to-day.

two piers where the coal barges, car

Both barges went down almost at once,

slip almost to the shore. In backing
out the water churned by her screws
snapped the lines which held two Nor
