THREE AUTO ACCIDENTS
Local Cars Made Record for Minor
Mishaps Monday

Three auto accidents, none of them
2 -ious but providing narrow escapes
Stas. east two young men, happened
inese LIN day. The most serious oc-
CURED d, arp zen Ford touring car
belonging to {. neatman was pass
ing the Richie BIZ, k. A boy on BIZ
cycle was overtaken by the car which
did not allow enough space between
the two and the mudguard of the auto
hit the handle bars. The result was
to throw the boy from the bike square
ly in the path of the machine. The car
passed over his body, tangling the
wheel and the boy up together under
the chassis. The driver brought the
car to a stop when it was found that
the lad was so twisted up with his BIZ
cycle it was necessary for several men
to lift one side of the car bodily to per
NIT his escape. The strange feature
of the accident was the the lad, beyond
a few minor scratches, was apparently
unhurt.
The second accident happened in
Putnam square in the early evening.
Again Ford was the unintentional
transgressor. Calvin Moore was cross
ing Main street in hiking costume and
carried a staff. He failed to get from
the path of the motor car quickly
enough and the machine and staff came
together, making a noise that coupled
with the sight of Moore hanging to the
radiator which he grasped to save him
self from being drawn under the car,
persuaded pedestrians a serious acci-
dent had occurred. His injuries were
slight
Another Ford machine standing in
front of Leahy's market on Stafford
street was cranked without due atten-
tion being given to the starting appar-
atus. Before it could be controlled by
the driver it crossed the street, mount
ed a curbing and drove its front into
the lawn of Homer A. Lyons on County
street. The front wheels were turned
under and the steering gear smashed
but none of the occupants were injured.

HEADQUARTERS IN new YORK
Candidate Kept Open House Till Late
Hour Renewing Political
Acqualntanceships.

New York, June 13.-Charles Z.
Hughes re-entered politics yesterday,
apparently with abundant zest. He
reached the city early in the day, es-
tablished temporary headquarters at
an uptown hotel and virtually held
open house until nearly midnight
Scores of persons on various missions
tlocked to his rooms, mostly people
who had known him back in the days
when he was campaigning for governor
of New York. There was also a sprink
ling of party leaders among his callers.
Mr.. Hughes issued no statement
yesterday and expects to issue none
till he is formally notified of his nom
nation. The subcommittee to confer
with him as to fixing a date for the
ceremony probably will wait on him
in few days and until then, it is
understood, he will allow his tele.
gram to Chairman Harding of the re-
publican national committee to stand
as his declaration Of principles with
out further comment.
Although the nominees plans are
still unsettled as to virtually all the
details of the campaign, it is likely
that he will remain in New York until
the 2Oth when he expects to attend
a reunion of the class of 81 of Brown
university at Providence.
To those who knew the nominee as
supreme court justice there was a
marked difference in his bearing yes.
terday. His air OF studious reserve ap-
parently left him with the robes of his
Office His eye sparkled with en-
joyment, he had a hearty handclasp
and smile for every man he met
and seemed enthusiastic in his wei
come of old friends who came to see
him after intervals of years
Although fluctuations were numer-
Gus, there was also serious considera.
tion of campaign plans. The chief af-
fairs requiring the nominees immedi
ate attention are the selection OF a
national chairman, the opening OF
headquarters and deciding on a sum
mer Headquarters for himself. Sew
eral party leaders submitted sugges
tions on all three topics, all OF which
Mr.. Hughes took under consideration.
Attempts to obtain further express
sions from Mr.. Hughes as to his views
on the issues of the day were un-
successful and it was made plain to
callers that there is no intention ON
his part to say anything concerning
them until his formal notification.

Leaders Say St.LOuis Program
Will Be Carried Out
STRONGER MAN PLEA FUTILE
Organization Men Say Vice-President
Will Again Be Wilson's Running
Mate.

st. Louis, June 3.-Anteconvention
discussion centered largely yesterday
on moves and suggestions to defeat
plans for the denomination of Vice
President Marshall, and put new man
on the ticket with President Wilson.
AS the number Of delegates to the
democratic national convention grew
hourly greater booms for various ia
yorite sons appeared on the surface to
rise and fall with the tide of talk.
A move to defeat Vice-President
Marshall for denomination took we'll
defined form and substance when
Henry Morgenthau, who recently gave
up his post as ambassador to Turkey
that he might engage in the work Of
re-electing President Wilson, an
nounced that "a stronger man than
Marshall should be named, and brought
forward Secretary of War Newton d.
Baker to run with President Wilson.
News that Mr. Morgenthau was
booming Secretary Baker created
something more than a mild discussion
for it was pointed out that Mr.. Nor
genthau had been close to the ad-
ministration and that it might in
dcate that the naming of Mr.. Baker
would not be unacceptable. Mr..
Morgenthau hastened, however, to
make it clear that he was urging Mr..
Bakers nomination on his own respon-
sibility and initiative solely with the
desire of naming the strongest possible
candidate for the Office.
National Chairman McCombs said
last night that he had received tele-
gram from Jacob H. Schiff. the New
York banker, asking that stronger
candidate than Mr.. Marshall be named.
and Mr. Morgenthau also stated that
he had a letter from Mr. Schiff request
ing that another than Mr.. Marshall be
put on the ticket.
Talk that Secretary Bakers name
would be presented as a candidate for
vice-presdent caused rush of dele
gates to national committeeman and
ether party leaders to know if there
had been any chance in the plans to
rename Mr. Marshall The informa-
tion was quickly given that moses
had been counted long ago, and that
while one or two names other than
Mar Nall's might be heard on the con
yention floor, the vote for him would
be virtually unanimous, if there is not
nomination by acclamation.
There will be no hitch in the plan

ticket" said Mr.. McCombs last night,
National Committeeman Norman +.
Mack of New York also declared that
the talk of upsetting the plan to re-
name Mr.. Marshall was silly and alb
surd. Booms for new candidates for
vice-president still appeared hourly
the last one to come to notice last
night being one for Judge A. NJ. Jack
son of Winfield, Kan,

ACCIDENT AVERTED
BY PIucky Sacrifice of Car by VIM.
Eddngton.

About SO worth of damage was done
to the Eddington touring car this noon
when it was necessary to drive the car
into the gutter to avoid crashing into
q rig containing two women.
William Eddington was driving the
machine. When opposite Hourans
grocery store he was going about 10
miles an hour when a rig ahead with
two women, started to circle the street
and head the other way without warn
ine.
If they had kept going, Eddington
would have had time to 90 past their
rear. Finding the car almost upon
them, however they became confused
and stopped the horse.
The driver had about three seconds
to decide between hitting the wagon
or sacrificing his car. He veered to
one side hoping to leap the curb. The
wheel crumpled. however, and by a
miracle the car came to a stop without
throwing him out The women drove
away without learning how much dam
age they had caused.

RUSSIA RUMORED
ONCE MORE HOLDS
CzERNOWITz
Capital Of BukOWina Evacuated by
tuStrians
SLkV DRIVE CAN'T Be CHECKED
Stubborn Resistance by Teutons
Proves to Be But Temporarily
Effective.

London, June 13.-Russian troops on
Sunday approached the outskirts of
Czenowitz, the capital of Bukowina,
the war office announced 1t Petrograd
yesterday. The statement also says the
Russian troops attacked the bridge
head at Zalesczyky AS the Russian
troops drew near Czenowitz, the re-
port says, there were numerous ex-
plosions caused by the Austrians with
in the city
Czernowitz, the objective of the
Russian drive on this part of the
front, was in possession of the Rus
slams for some time early in the war,
but they were compelled to evacuate
the city during the progress of the
Austro-German offensive. Zalesczyky
is on the river Dniester 80 miles
northwest of Czernowitz.
A rumor was in circulation at Petro-
grad yesterday that the Russians have
occupied Czernowitz, capital of the
Austrian crownland of Bukowina. The
rumor lacks official confirmation, but
it has been given color by the capture

10 miles northeast. The Russian line
here extends to Okna From both
these points good roads lead direct to
Czemowitz and, according to military
authorities, they are the only points
in this direction capable OF defense.
A telegram from Bucharest, Rumania,
says the Austrian army has evacuated
Czernowitz and moved to line four
miles to the west.
The continued successes of the Rus
slams recorded in yesterdays official
statement are the more surprising, as
the Austrians, after the first shock
of the Russian advance. appeared to
have rallied their forces and offered
extremely stubborn resistance. This
is indicated by the fact that they were
able to mass sufficient forces in the
vicinity OF Kolki, north of Lutsk, to
cause the Russians to retire across the
Styr river. Not only there but at
other points on the Volhynian front.
furious counter attacks characterized
the last 40 hours of fighting, but with
out being able to check except momen-
tarily the force of the Russian adj
vance.
It is not believed at Petrograd that
the Germans are sending many troops
to aid the Austrians. 1t is pointed out
that only in one misunderstanding
Russia's spectacular Carpathian cam
paign-did Germany send any large
number of men to the relief of the
Austrians. instead 1t has always been
their practice to undertake an Of
fensive on some other line in an en-
deayor to draw off the Russians. OBJ
servers at Petrograd think the Ger
mans are more likely to attempt an
offensive on the northern section Of
the Russian front than to risk weak
ening their lines by detaching any
number OF men for the purpose Of
stiffening the Austrian defense.
