Washington. June 2.-(Special)-It is very probably true that majority of democrats are inclined to believe that Justice Hughes would be stronger op- pcnent of Woodrow Wilson than any other individual the republicans could nom- nate.
 On the other hand. there is formid- able minority which rigidly adheres to the belief that Colonel Roosevelt would be a more dangerous opponent than the jus tice. It is interesting and significant that no democratic speculation includes either of the ''favorite sons'' in the list of seri- ous factors with whom the democrats must reckon
 There is growing colony of democrats so firmly convinced that the President will be reelected that it is indifferent as to any action the republicans might take, or any man the republicans might nominate.

fight the German cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two of her sister ships set on fire. Several raids have been made by German naval attachments on the British coast in which Yarmouth, Scar borough, Whitby, Hartlepool and Lowestoft have been bombarded. The last of these raids occurred April 26, last, on which occasion, according to the German claim, a British destroyer and two scout ships were sunk. The most serious losses to the British fleet hitherto have been through the oper- ations of German submarines and by
 means of mines. Such an instance oc-
 cured September 22, 1914, when the
 British cruisers Hogue, Greasy and Aboukir were torpedoed within an
 hour by the German submarine U-19. The German navy, however, performed | brilliant feats in regions far distant | from Europe, it's most notable victory l being in the battle off coronel.

OUTCOME OF FIGHT
 FOR NOMINATION AT
 CHICAGO SEEMS AS DOUBTFUL AS EVER
Numerous Conferences Be- tween Leaders During, Yesterday Without Re sults-F -Favorite Sons Are Increasingly Active

Chicago June 2.-There were numerous conferences between party leaders today, but so far as could be learned no agree ment on candidates was reached and there cated which candidate is likely to be nominated for President by the republi- can national convention. Tonight the outcome seems as much in doubt as ever.
 While on the surface the fight appears to be between Roosevelt and Hughes or Roosevelt against the field, there was a marked increase in activity at the head quarters of the various ''favorite son. candidates. Managers of the Root, Weeks, Burton, Fairbanks and Sherman booms insisted that their candidates would re- main in the fight until the end. They declared, after tabulating the vote claimed for Roosevelt, that the successful candi- date would either be one of the "favorite sons or a dark horse.
 STANDPATTERS' PLAN

.CARRANzA TROOPS BEING DISPOSED ID
 PURSUE THE BANDITS
Reports Received From Mex ico Indicate, However, That His Leaders Support Him
 Solidly in His Note

Washington. June 2.-Despite the threatening tone of Genera! Carranza S last note, his military forces in Chi. huahua state are being disposed in gen. General Obregon during his conference at Fl Paso with Generals Scott and Fun ston. This was shown today when Gen eral Funston sent word that the 10000 Carranza soldiers mobilized within the last few days at Chihuahua City had been spread over the region not con- trolled by General Pershing's column in a way to carry out an active pursuit of bandits.
 Army officers who studied the Mexican troop dispositions as reported by General Funston said they appeared to be in ac- cord with a plan to police the country an unfriendly demonstration toward General Pershing's force. The Mexicans have been for the most part distributed in small commands to police definite sec tions. So far there has been nothing to show that military preparations for an attempt to drive out the Americans have been set in motion. SUPPORTED BY LEADERS On the other hand, reliable informa ton has been received in official quar- ters that all of Carranzas advisers

 The young reporter-evidently of an argumentative turn of mind-was evident ly disappointed because the sena tor S opinion did not coincide with his own.
 But senator he reioned. do you not think that. Roosevelt will be nominated ?" 'I hope so,' the senator replied with out batting an eye. Because if we can't beat that - four-flusher we can't beat anybody

Danish Captain Tells of
 Witnessing Beginning of
 Great Battle In North Sea
German Fleet Consisted of Five Modern Dreadnaugts Brit sh Ships Retired Westward Pursued by Germans Ac- counts of Battle Held Back in London on Account
 Lack of Details Torpedo Boat Losses Heavy

Copenhagen, June 1.-(Via London. June 2. Delayed by Censor). Accord ing to the Politiken a Danish steamer arrived today (Thursday) at Friedrich shafen, which had witnessed a battle in the North sea. The steamer reports that yesterday "Wednesday afternoon 12O miles off Hanstholm 1t was stopped by two British torpedoboats to have it's papers examined.
 At the same moment d large Ger man fleet appeared and the British warships immediately prepared for ac- tion. The German fleet. which ap- preached at full speed consisted of five large modern dreadnaughts. eight cruisers and 20 torpedoboats and de- stroyers.
 Suddenly the Germans began firing and several hundred shells splashed around the torpedoboats without, how ever, hitting them.
 The British ships went westward,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-03

News of the engagement was held back by the British authorities, pos sibly pending the return home of the fleet and the first word received of the battle came by wireless from Der lin.
 The loss of life of the engagement must have been extremely heavy. The battle cruiser Indefatigable, for in- stance, from which the German ad-
 miralty reports only two men were
 saved, probably had more than 900 men on board and others of the yes sells sunk carried complements of
 men equally or nearly as large. Previous to this battle Great Brit
 ain had lost during the war 10 battle ships, II cruisers and various smaller
 craft Germany had lost IS cruisers | 19 auxiliary cruisers, chiefly converted passenger liners, and numerous small CT craft.
 Since the beginning of the war Brit ish cruisers and destroyers have
 patrolled during day and night the ap- breaches to the German fleets base, in the bay formed by the mouth of the Elbe and the Weser, protected by the mighty Notifications of Wilhelms-
 haven on the south, on the north by the supposedly impregnable defenses
 of the Kiel canal and guarded by the
 outlying island of I1elgoland FIRST REAL FIGHT Until the engagement that has just
 occurred, however, no German fleet has put forth in force to necessitate the giving of the alarm to the British main l fleet that it's foe was coming out to 1 give battle. The rendezvous of the British battle fleet has been a secret | but is generally believed to have been l in the Orkney Islands north of Scot l land
 The long months of watchful wait 1 ing by the British, however, were | broken into by two naval engagements in which comparatively small squad 1 rons of German warships were in- l volved, and in both of which the Brit 1 sh were victorious. On August 2S, 1914
 Admiral Sir David Beatty on his flag 1 ship, the battle cruiser Lion, led his 1 squadron in a daring dash into the l Eight of Helgoland. In an engagement almost under the guns of this great l fortress three German armored cruisers | loss of 2500 men.

gagged British fleet through the after noon and night in what probably was the greatest naval battle in the world s history SO far as tonnage engaged and tonnage destroyed was concerned.
 When the battle ended Great Britain had lost the battle cruisers Queen Mary. Indefatigable and Invincible, the cruisers Defense, Black Prince and Warrior and eight torpedo-bo boat destroyers, while the German battleship Pommern had been sent to the bottom by torpedo and the cruiser Wiesbaden sunk by the British gunfire. In addition several German tor pedo craft were missing and the small cruiser Frauenlob had last been seen bad ly listed and was believed to have gone to the bottom. These losses have all been admitted by Great Britain and Germany
 Aside from Great Britain's conceded losses. Germany claims that the British battleship Warspite, sister ship of the Queen Elizabeth, and one of the largest and most powerful ships afloat, had been sunk; that the battleship Marlborough, a torpedo, and a submarine had been de- stroyed. Great Britain also added to Ger many's acknowledged losses with the claim that one dreadnaught of the Ger man Kaiser class-vessels of 24,7OO tons and carrying complement of 10SS men had been destroyed by British torpedo craft; that another battleship of the same class was believed to have been sunk

 FIGHT ALL DEMANDS
 MAKE BY EMPLOyES
Second Conference Between the Officials Representing Roads and Labor Dele
 gates Held at New York

New York, June 2.-Every point in the demands made by the four leading organizations of railroad employees upon virtually all the rail lines of the United States for basic eight-hour work day will be sharply contested, it became apparent here today at the sec ond conference between the 19 offi- cials representing the roads and the delegates of the labor organizations. Acting as spokesman for his associates, A. B. Garretson. president of the Or der of Railroad Conductors, read into the record the formal request for an eight hour day and the supplementary demands of the men.
 As each clause was read Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad commission, and his associates asked questions de- signed to bring out it's exact meaning. There were several sharp disputes as to present working conditions.
 NO WAGE REDUCTIONS
 The employees made it clear that in their demands for an eight-hour day they would not submit to any reduc- tion in the present wage scale for nine. ten or more hours.
 It also was said the men were not anxious for overtime. One of the labor delegates asserted they would be we'll satisfied with eight hours work in ev- cry 24.
