THE CORDOVA PASSES THE PRIBILOFFS ON THE WAY
 TO THE WRECK

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.-The Cordova has reported herself as having pass ed the Pribiloff Islands on the way to take off the crew and passengers from the revenue cutter Tahoma. The position of the Tahoma and her peo- pie is supposed not to be very danger ous as the Senator would never have passed on had the people on the cut ter been seriously endangered. It is more than likely that they have left the vessel and gone ashore to wait for relief. The hope of saving the the vessel itself is very slim out hers as her inability to get off the reef su far shows that she must be in tight place where she may have to stay un- til a destructive storm comes up, and such storms in those waters are ire ouent at this time of the year.

WILSON TURNS
 DOWN OFFERS
NEW JERSEY WAVES TO EN- DORSE HIM FOR SECOND TERM
 BUT HE DECLINES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Presi- dent Wilson has declined the offer of endorsement for second term made by the democrats of his own state, New Jersey. He declares that such an endorsement coming from his home state might be construed to mean that he seeks endorsement and he believes that such feeling would embarrass him.
 This refusal of endorsement has nothing to do, however, with the presidents wishes regarding the re- nomination and that he will again be a candidate is about certain although he has given out no direct statement to that effect.
