The Nebraskan case, coming close
on the sinking Of the Lusitania, and
coupled with the attack on the Gulf

national Mercantile Marine, but the
charter had been cancelled and she was
returning home to carry coal from
Newport News to California for the
United States navy.

The belief is gaining ground among

that some Independent dealers who are

months before the opening of the

STANLEY'S ELECTION SURE BY SMALL
MAJORITY.

That A. o. Stanley has been elected
Governor of Kentucky over Edwin P.
Morrow by a plurality which is less
than 500 votes, is practically conceded.
With l19 counties officially certified to,
and only II ballots affected in Laurel,

county unofficislly reported l.124 ma
jority for Morrow, and this figure is
used to arrive at Stsnley's majority of
1876 in the whole state. Scores of tele-

by the Governor elect yesterday. many
of them coming from friends and adj
mirers all over the United States.
