SEEDS SUPPORT OF ! B. B. COMER CAUSES MUCH SPECULATION
Not Believed Many Adher- ents Will Follow Leaders Steps-Kolb Strength
 for HedersOn

l Montgomery, April 0.-(Special) )-Con-
 siderable comment was heard in Mont
 gomery today in reference to the an- nouncement of Walter D. Seed in favor | of the candidacy of B. B. Conner. In some quarters MT. Seeds declaration was not unexpected. in others it was received as a great surprise.
 1 Many of MT. Corners strong supporters
 believed that Mr. Seed would not do otherwise than declare fin favor of the former governor. contending that the Tus-
 caloosan's strong prohibition principles would cause him to ally himself to the standard of MT. Conner
 | On the other hand, followers of Mir l Henderson took the opposite view, bas- ing their supposition on two grounds. In | the first place, they claimed that MT. | Conner could not be classed as a prohi- tionist of MT. Seeds type. inasnuch as | the former governor had never openly declared for prohibition fin his present | campaign, and, secondly. because of the recent antagonistic tendencies manifest ed by these two candidates
 The Bone of Contention Whether or not MT. Seed will be able to throw the greater portion of his strength to MT. Conner is a matter of much speculation, with the opinion pre- vailing that he will fino it impossible to do so. The Henderson supporters do not believe that MT &eed will be able to induce one-half of his followers to take up the cause of Mir. Conner
 They point out that MT. Seed in open ly declaring for MT. Conner has given MT. Henderson the strongest possible rec ommendation, since he said that were he to consult his preferences. as between men. he would favor MT. Henderson for governor.
 There is every reason to believe thaA nearly three-fourths of Captain Kolb's strength will go to MT. Henderson
 large number of strong Kolb followers have already announced In favor of MT. henderson and the opinion prevails that the Troy candidate will receive at least f9 per cent of the Kolb strength
 lh the meantime both MT Conner and MT Henderson are sanguine, each de- claring he will win the nomination for governor on the second primary.

NINE PERISH IN GALE.
TERRIFIC STORM SWEEPS NEW
JERSEY COAST AND EAST
ERIN CITIES.
MEN SWEPT FROM VESSELS
Stranded Ships Are Engulfed by High
Waves and Crews Die With Res
cuers Near-Damage to Shore
Property Reported Heavy.

Seabright, N j., Dec. 29.-Nine
men persisted in a terrific gale that
swept along the New Jersey coast on
Friday at the rate of 80 miles an hour
and hurting the sea upon the land like
a tidal wave. The damage is esti-
mated at $1,OO0,00O.
This city felt the full effect of the
storm. Houses were blown or washed
away. The city's lighting plant was
put out of commission. Three han-
dred persons were forced to fee from
their homes.
While the storm was battering this
city an ocean tragedy was being en-
acted on the coast off Seaside, n. ].
There two boats were driven ashore.
To the mast of one Of the vessels
three men were clinging. The Forked
river life-saving crew tried desper-
ately to reach the men, but the force
of the gale and the vast waves drove
them back. The men were seen to
drop one by one into the boiling sea
and disappear.
While the life savers were toiling in
the terrible sea they prayed that gov
eminent vessels summoned might
come in time, but none appeared soon
enough to render any assistance.
Though Seabright was the heaviest
sufferer from the storm, heavy dam
age was caused in neighboring towns
by the gale and food. When all Sec
lions are heard from the damage may
go over $1,000,000. Sewer systems
have been wrecked and the SCATTERING
Of telephone poles and the breaking
Of cables have left many Jersey towns
without light or power Hundreds
have been made homeless. Fishermen
who depend upon their paraphernalia
for their living have lost everything.
The Peninsula hotel, one Of the
largest summer resorts here, collapsed
because of weakened foundations and
Immediately afterward the Earle
house also toppled over.
New York, Dec. ga terrible gale
accompanied by a driving rain struck
New York and caHsed widespread
damage. Hundreds of plate glass
windows were shattered and signs
