KiIbournc Not a Candidate.

It was stated at the home of Ed ward 0. Kilbourne today that it was not believed he would be candidate for councilman in the sixth ward but that he would be a candidate for reelection to the school board. There was some feeling among the demo- crats against MT. Kilbourne being candidate for both places although many of his friends urged him to seek the nomination for councilman.
 The decision of MT. Kilbourne leaves the sixth ward field open to Councilman A. M. Paonessa and Fran cis T. McDonough. The former wish es to succeed himself and the latter desires to step into the shoes of Councilman Thomas J. Coyle. 1t is generally regretted that Councilman Coyle has decided to withdraw from the halls of the council. He has been one of the live wires of the minority party and has been heard from on nearly all important issues.

Johnston and Griffin Take Lau-
rels from Mclaughlin and
Bundy at Forest Hills

Forest Hills, n. Y, Sept. SIN the
most remarkable exhibition Of doubles
tennis play witnessed in this country
in many years. William NJ. Johnston
and Clarence ]. Griffin, both of San
Francisco, wrested the championship
from the three time holders. Maurice
E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco and
Thomas c. Bundy Of Los Angeles here
this afternoon by scores of 2-6. b-3, ia,
3-6, 6-S. No more thrilling climax to
the 35th annual championship tourna-
ment of the National Lawn Tennis AS
ISOLATION could have been staged. For
more than two hours the four Cali
fornia racquet stars engaged in a
court battle that aroused unbounded
enthusiasm. How closely the contest
was wased is shown by the fact that
the victors won % games and 153
points to the losers % games and 154
points. Johnston and Mclaughlin stood
out as the individual stars of the
match, although both were ably sup
ported by their partners, Griffin and
Bundy
In the beginning the team work of
match progressed. however, the veter-
ans were checked in their chosen form
of attack and the younger men, adding
speed to each service and stroke, grad
ually forced them into decisive errors.
This is clearly shown by study Of
the stroke analysis, wherein it is seen
that although the winners Of the match
and title were out-aced and out-played
their opponents were guilty of more
than a sufficient number of nets and
outs to nullify the advantage in their
ability to pick openings. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Johnston defeated
McLoushlin in the singles titular con-
test yesterday. the famous Davis cup
player showed great Improvement in
form today and, considered individual

INSTRUCTIONS TO
THE COMMANDERS

Berlin, Sept s, via London, P. NJ.
Persons in a position to speak with
authority assert positively the convic-
ton that the steamship Hesperian was
not torpedoed by a German submarine.
at least. under the conditions thus far
described.
The assumption that the Hesperian
was sunk by a German submarine is
met with ever-increasing doubt in Of
fetal circles. In these quarters 1t is
believed that the vessel must have
struck a mine, or possibly was destroy
ed by some agency from within; it is
REGARDED as certain that she was not
torpedoed by German submarine I'M
der the conditions set forth in press
dispatches and in accounts given by
messengers. The degree of assurance
with which this theory is advanced
seems to be bsead on knowledge of ad-
ditional instructions issued to subma-
rine commanders since the Arabic was
sunk. Neither diplomatic nor naval Of
ficials, however. will give any informa-
ton on this subject.
U-27 Loss Significant
The loss Of the U-27 has revived dis
cussion of British aggressive tactics
AGAINST submarines. This discussion is
utilized to bring home to the people OF
Germany the magnitude and bearing OF
concession made to the United States
in agreeing to give warning before q
liner is torpedoed. 1t is expected that
this concession involves danger SO Ions
as British tactics are unaltered.
Tho London version of the sinking
Of the U-27. to the effect that she was
destroyed by a British torpedo boat
while hating ship. will be commune
Gated to the German press for guidance
tomorrow to help dispel the impression
that a merchantmen was responsible
for the loss of the craft.
In editorials on the submarine ques
ton there is an absence of animu
against the United States.
