CITY. Okla, April 13.
" The Republican national COM
mitteeman contest between j, j. Nc
Graw of Ponca City and James A..
Harris Of Wagner is assuming its III
nal shape and today McGraw men
claimed ten of the twenty delegates
for sure. McGraw men claim the two
delegates each from the First. Fourth
and Eighth districts. and the four
elected at large by the convention of
a few days ago. Even If Harris wins
all the contests, which McGraw men
do not concede. the vote will be tie.
A letter was received today from
James b. Reynolds, secretary of the
national committee, according to Nc
Graw men. which said that members
of the next national committee will
be selected at the convention and not
by the committee.
This it is claimed by McGraw men,
blows up the Harris chances. as 1t is
said he has depended on his success
before the national committee. Ac-
cording to the Harris headquarters he
has eleven out of the twenty delegates
and McGraw nine. As all district
conventions are now over, records will
be made up by both sides to be pre-
sented to the national convention.

.XIASHINGTON, April i3.-The

sWAsHINGToN' April is.-rhe
w United States is disposed to con-
slider Germany has admitted one OF
her submarine commanders is guilty
of torpedoing the channel steamer
Sussex, which had aboard more than
a score of American citizens. Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
today examined the official text OF
the latest communication from Ber-
lin and are understood to have
reached this conclusion. although no
announcement was made.
Unless Germany should without
equivocation admit attacking the ves-
sci. inflict adequate punishment upon
the submarine commander and in
!. Miner ways show evidences of good
faith, action of drastic nature un-
doubtedly will follow. Details of the
policy to be pursued are expected to
be formulated at the cabinet meeting
tomorrow.
Circumstances Similar.
The assumption of Germany's ad =
mission of guilt is founded upon the
marked similarity of the circum-
stances surrounding the explosion
which damaged the Sussex and the
attack upon a steamer in the channel
described in the German note. The
date time and locations are practi-
cally the same. The damage done by
the torpedo from the submarine and
the explosion which wrecked the Sus-
seH are identical The course. being
. followed by the Sussex and the ves-
sci mentioned in the note, are SINH
lar.
Two Versions.
The only difference in the two ver-
sions-that of Germany based on the
report of u submarine commander and
that of the United States founded
upon reports of the British and
French governments, affidavits of
Survivors and Investigations by
American naval, diplomatic and con-
sular officers-is found in the de-
scription OF the Sussex and the de-
scription of the vessel attacked by the
submarine based on silhouette
sketch made by the submarine COM
mander while peering through ms
periscope 1t is considered that the
slight variations in the two sides OF
the case very well could be recon-
ciled.
Following the receipt recently of
press dispatches announcing that the
German government flatly denied re-
sponsibility for the explosion which
damaged the Sussex, 1t was believed
the case the United States was pre-
pairing against German submarine
warfare would have to be based on
the accumulation Of illegal attacks
rather than largely upon the disaster
to the channel steamer. 1t now being
revealed upon just what contentious
Itnd arguments Germany bases heI
denials of responsibility. the admins
tration considers that the case Of the
Sussex Is stronger than ever.

m (SussseX) Asked to give
an official view on Germany's
note to the American government
converting the Sussex. the for
e'gn office today made the fol-
owing statement to the Associat-
ed Press. based on information
obtained from admiralty off
cials:
There Is no resemblance be-
tween the Arabs class ard the
Sussex. The Germans are con-
demned by their own statement
which says that submarine at
tackled a ship at 1855 p. m, the
exact time n. which the Sussex
was attacked.
BERLIN, April 13-By wire
less to the Associated Press
from staff correspondent. -
Germany's case ir the Sussex in
Cident rests upon the utter dis
similarity between the Sussex and
the only steamship torpedoed by
a German submarine on the day
and in the vicinity of the Sussex
explosion. A sketch of the tor
pedoed steamship was made by
the commander of the subma-
rine.
The commander. according to
the note concluded that the "icng.
black craft without a flag, with
gray smokestack and low. gray
superstructure,' was a naval
mine-layer of the new class OF
the Arab which was sunk by
German torpedo boats on Dogger
bank. on February IL.
