inquiries ABOUT
CyMRIC sinking
U. S. Hardly Will Raise Issue
Over Cargo Steamship Evi-
IDENTIFY Torpedoed.
In ADMIRALTY SERVICE
State Officials Seeking Facts Concern
ing Two Other Similar Cases
Which Are Reported.

The State Department has begun an
investigation Of the sinking Of the White
Star liner CymriC, which occurred while
the latest note OF the United States was
on its way to Berlin.
Consul Wesley Frost, at Queenstown,
reported that the Cymric was torpedoed,
evidently without warning After this re-
port was received, Consul General Skinner
cabled a Boyd's report giving the names
of three other vessels torp yloed within
the last few days
The State Department Immediately made
inquiries through consular sources to de-
termine the facts in all these cases.
State Department omcials said the fact
that the CymriC was in admiralty service
did not justify unwarned submarine at
tack unless 1t were shown the CymriC
actually had been reQuisitioned by the
British admiralty. The vessel could be
chartered by the admiralty and used for
the transportation of war supplies with
out becoming a part of the British naval
forces, in the State Departments view.
The department is proceeding on the
assumption that the CymriC was a mer-
chant vessel, since it was permitted to
clear as merChantFan from New York
on its present trip.
The fact that no Americans were aboard
the Cymric, that she did not carry pas
sengers, and that she was heavily laden
with war material for the allies make II
appear unlikely that United State will
raise an issue over the incident.

UNTERMYER MAY GET
BRANDEIS NOMINATION
Senate Hears Rumor That Present
Nominee Will Be Withdrawn.
Brandeis Will Not Accept.

Two interesting reports circulated
through the Senate yesterday and gave
a new turn of interest to the Brandeis
case. One was that the name OF Louis
D. Brandeis, nominated for Supreme
Court justice, would be withdrawn and
the name of Samuel Untermyer be sub
stituted. 1t was even said that Mr..
Untermyer was offered the nomination
for the bench before it was conferred on
Mr.. Brandeis and that the New Yorker
declined.
The report was not generally credited
and one Democratic Senator observed:
''The President certainly loves to tempt
the fates If he is considering sending the
name of Untermyer in"
The other report that was in Circula-
tion ba sed upon more reliable founda-
tiOn apparently was that II Mr.. Brandeis
is confirmed he will at once decline the
nomination.
