 Select Campaign Manager.

 Mir Crane remained in conference with MT. Hughes until 11.90 o'clock. When he left he admitted that almost all phases of the campaign had been discussed, but declined to disclose the nature of his talk
 Full authority to select the chair man of the national committee who will manage the campaign, Mir. Crane admitted, is vested in the sub-c commit tee of which he is chairman.

ing callers. His visitors were more numerous than yesterday. There were so many of them at one time that a line was formed and they filed past to shake hands and chat for mo- ment instead of waiting to be recefv- ed alone. Several progressive leaders and republican supporters of Colonel Roosevelt were among them.
 Pledges of Support.
 Everett Colby of New Jersey, who placed John M. Parker in nomination for the vice presidency at the pro- gressive convention, and Theodore Douglas Robinson, nephew of Colonel Roosevelt and former progressive leader in New York, called during MT. Hughes absence at luncheon. They left word that they would return in a day or so to deliver in person their sent a telegram from Cleveland pledg- ing support and followed In person later to congratulate the nominee and reiterate his pledge.
 Republican Leaders Among Visitors. Hughes, included Former Governor B. B. Odell Of New York, William H. Crocl1er and M. H. De Young of San Francisco; Dr. Nicholas Murray But Ter, who placed Elihu Root in nomina- tion at Chicago, spent nearly an hour eonferring with MT. Hughes. Henry Clews, the New York banker, and Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank of New York, made brief visits.
 Suffrage leaders sought vainly to obtain the nominees views as to their cause. Miss Lucy Burns and Mrs. Charles A. Beard tried unnecessarily to see him. Mrs Laura BrySk chair man of the Woman's Republican Com mittee of New York, had a two min ute talk with him during which he said he probably would make known his views on suffrage in his formal speech of acceptance.
 Formal Notification Within a Few
 0ays.
 < The date of his formal notification of nomination may be settled de11- nitely within a few days, as word was received tonight at headquarters that the sub- committee from the national committee might reach here tomorrow to confer with him. Mir. Hughes present plan Is to receive the com mlttee before he leaves next Monday to attend class rnunfon and the coFu- management exercises at Brown Unf- verHity, Providence, and then return to New York. Boon therea9ter he will decide on the location of his summer home,

Baltimore, Md, June 13.-Peansyl- vania Railroad elevator No. 3, on the harbor front at Canton, a suburb, was burned tonight with a loss of life estimated at from four to ten men and injuries to more than forty oth CTS The victims were mostly ele- vator employees and cargo trimmers. Three of the injured were in a critical condition tonight.
 Two steamships, the Willem Van Driel Sr., a Dutch vessel, and the British steamer Welbeck Hall, who were loading grain at the elevator, also were badly damaged by fire and wreckage dropped upon them from the elevator.
 next to the elevator, badly damaging 1t. Several strings of grain cars in the elevator were burned.
 While the fire is thought to have been caused by an explosion of grain dust, a theory was advanced that it may have been caused by a bomb. This theory will be investigated, 1t was said.
 The blast blew out the eo-foot tow CT, or upper elevator and in an in- stant the whole building was ablaze.
 Conservative estimates placed the together about a million bushels of wheat, oats, barley. rye and buck wheat were destroyed
 Scores of men barely escaped with their lives. Thirty-four grain hand lers and stevedores who were caught in the hold of the Welbeck Hall fought their way to freedom over the piles of grain. Gaining the deck of the ship, they found their way to shore cut off by the flames. Some of them jumped overheard and were picked up. Launches ran alongside and took off the others.
 Two, gangs of grain handlers, lm- prisoned on the WiIlem Van Driel, So. for time, made a dash across the elevator wharf to safety, but they were showered with sparks and burn ing wood and only few escaped un- scathed. The charred bodies of two men were found in the hold of the Willem Van Driel ST. tonight.
 The number of known dead was fin. creased to three by the finding Of e body in the wreckage Of the elevator, Nine men ware unaccounted for to- night They were William Cowan-- Snhattner and Adam e. Echriiflf cnamber of commerce inspector, and six laborers.

Tn volhynia and Galicia the Rus sians are keeping up their strong of fensive against the Austro- -Hungar- fans and Germans and on various sec tors in both regions thep have made fresh advances and captured addi- tional prisoners and war stores.
 Tn Galicia the drive of the Russians has brought them across the Dniester river, where they have captured the towns of Zale SzcxylSy and Horodent- Ica, whence they are pressing forward toward the Pruth river and the Buko- wiaa frontier with Czernowitz their objective. Numerous Austrian forti- fled positions in this region have fall- en into the hands of the Russians.

 In Yolhynia, northwest and west of Lutsk, the Russians have driven out the Austrians near Rojitche and oc- cupied the town of Torchin, while west of Kolki, north of Lutsk, the Austrians have again repulsed the Russians, who were attempting to cross the Styr river. infiicting heavy losses on them.

the problem. The rapid growth of anti American propaganda In northern Mex fco, however, coupled with increasingly grave economic conditions, may take the situation out of their hands.
 No official would venture a predic- tion tonight as to what might be ex- pected in the immediate future In common with some consuls in Mexico, they believe any eventuality is pos sible with agitators working on the feelings of people already distressed by the fruits of prolonged disorder. 1t was stated positively that the Washington government was consider ing no aggressive action to be taken or it's own motion, but stood ready to act should assaults on Americans or an attack on General Pershingss forces force the Issue.
 Sharp Response to the carranza Note.
 A sharp rejoinder is being prepar- ed to the 4Carranza note. It will repeat the determination of President Wilson to keep American troops in Mexico un- til the Carranza forces have shown their ability and intention to properly police the border states It is also to rebuke the de facto government for the suggestions and statements in it's note. questioning the good faith of the Washington administration. Some of- nc1als regard parts of the note as in- sulting to degree not to be tolerated, and IT their active advice is followed, it's author will be called to sharp ac- count
 Secretary Lansing has had before him mass of data. dealing with the assertions of fact set up by the Mex ican note. He expects to be able to refute most of these statements and the daily crop of messages from Mex leo telling of new disturbances will supply additional evidence that the de facto government does not in fact border states.
 Pending the sending of the reply, steps have been in progress some days may arise. Conferences between state and navy department officials have re- suited in the formulation Of definite plans for the removal of Americans who would gather in Mexican ports should serious outbreak of Anti- American feeling force them to ice, or should there be a clash between Amrican and Mexican troops. It Is known, too, that the possibility of IcaIiing out more state militia to pro- tect the border towns has been the subject of renewed discussion among Ioflciadl
 The motives behind the anti -Ameri- can propoganda and the precise atti- Htude of General C:afranza toward the agitation both are subjects om Specu- iation and many officials are convinced that the de facto govern msnt is tottering and think Carranza may have sent his belligerent note

been suggested by former Representa.- tive A. Mitchell Palmer of that state.
 Mentioned for Treasurer.
 Wilbur ". Marsh, national commit teeman from Iowa, was mentioned to- night for treasurer, and Henry M0rgen- thau of New York, former ambassador to Turkey, was said to be slated for chairman of the finance committee.
 Although Mir. Baker said that hi6 function in representing the president had exclusively to do with the plat form, and that he was not authorized to represent MT. Wilson an any sub- ject, his statements, including the presidents desire fer Vice President MarshalPs renomination, were regarded generally as representing the White House point of view.
 Regarding the plan broached by some leaders to send an invitation to the progrensiyes to join the democrats, or make specific platform overtures to them, MT. Baker said:
 "The progressives are a group Of men who are earnestly and devodedly trying to serve a set Of deep rooted political beliefs. They do not want piece of engraved stationery which they can call an invitation, but egl- dence that the democrats and progTes- sives are trying to serve the same cause.
 'The record of the democratic admin istration contrasted with the republican platform ought to satisfy any progrea- sive that his opportunity lies with the democratic party.
 No invitation to PrOoressNes.
 There could not be any direct invi- tation to the progressives in the demo- cratic platform. We can only hope to| get progressive support by drawing 0 platform so that it will meet their ap~ provaI. I think that a great many progressives will feel deeply disap- pointed with the meaningless republi- can platform and outraged at the be- trayal of their own party. They win realize that the democratic platform and candidates. will more nearly repre- sent their own ideals and they will vote for President Wilson"

 Secretary Baker said tonight that hs hoped to spend much of the summer campaigning.
 T will give every minute of my time that is consistent with my full duty at the war department, going wherever the national committee thinks I can be | of any service.

 Canadian Troops Make Gain.
 The Canadian troops in the region of Ypres have made a notable gain over the Germans, retaking from them southeast of Zillebeke, in a gallant and successful assault" more than L. 500 yards of former British positions which the Germans captured recently. The regained ground was held de- spite a vigorous shelling by the Ger mans. The Germans suffered heavy casualties in the fighting.

 Tn the Lagarina valley of the Aus tro-Italian theatre the Italians have taken by assault strong Austrian po- sitions and repulsed heavy counter attacks launched by the Austrians. On the Posina- -Astico front the Austrians penetrated Molisini but were later driven out and in the Sugna valley they met with repulse, with consider able losses, in an attempt to advance east of the Mazo Torrent.
 Slight successes for their respective sides in Asia Minor are reported by the Russian and Turkish war offices. No important changes in the situation in this region have occurred, how ever.
