A runaway dashed through the 7

was flung from his seat, and the horse
gathered new energy with every leap.

the horse started his final squirt down
the incline leading to the Canal Street
plaza, the sputtering motor drew

His aim was sure, and. while the
motorcycle wabbled and fell on its side
the horse yielded to the man that was
swinging from his head. AS he came
to a final stop the driver jumped from
an automobile that had given him a
lift and took the reins. The horse
had bolted when the bit broke.

Borden'S Ship Wrecked
On Arctic Rescue Hunt

Vessel That Was Reported To Be
in Distress.

Nome, Alaska, Aug. 26.-The United
States Guard cutter McCulloch is eX-
pected to reach here tomorrow with
the members of the BordenLane Arctic
expedition, who were picked up yester-
day at st. Mathews Island in Bering
Sea, twenty-five miles southwest OF
Nome, where their new power schooner
Great Bear was wrecked August 10.
A brief report received here said that
the wreck was the result Of an attempt
by Captain Louis Lane, master of the
ship and Joint owner with John Borden,
OF Chicago, to investigate a report that
another vessel had been wrecked in that
vicinity. Captain Lane received the re-
port shortly before midnight aud turned
off his course to investigate.
A great storm was raging, and at
1888 q. m. the Great Bear struck on
Pinnacle Rock, a bleak, desolate vol
csnic islet so named by Captain Cook.
Pinnacle Rock is not far from st. Mat
thew's Island, and the party aboard the
Great Bear not only reached shore
safely, but took from the wreck provis-
ions on which they subsisted fifteen
days until found by the McCulloch,
which was sent in search of them when
the schooner was more than a week
overdue at Nome.
Nothing is known here of the vessel
supposed to have been in need OF as
sistance and which Captain Lane was
seeking.

Upheaval Is Likely
in the National
Committee.
"BIG THREE" RULE
is RESENTED
House, Morgenthau and
MCAdoo Seeking to
Run Campaign.

White House coterie that has taken
entire charge of the Democratic cam
paign to the exclusion of Vance Nc
Cormick, national chairman, and Fred
erick B. Lynch, of Minnesota, chairman
of the Democratic executive committee,
is causing much friction in the Demo
cratic party, it transpired yesterday.
An upheaval is about due that will re-
suit in the removal of two or more
persons at present connected with the
campaign.
Lynch, who was once slated for the
national craftsmanship, has not even a
desk at national headquarters, and the
treatment he is receiving is being re-
sented by his friends on the Demo
cratic National Committee. His posi-
tion is somewhat similar TO that of
Frank II. Hitchcock in the Republican
party before he was named on Chair
man Willcox's advisory committee.
The entire New York organization is
also angry because of the sidetracking
of Norman K. Mack, and Illinois has a
grievance at least the friends of Roger
Sullivan have-because no Illinois mar
has been appointed on the Democratic
campaign committee.
big Three" Run Campaign.
"The "big three" who are running
the campaign, leaving Mccormick
hardly more than a figurehead, are
Colonel +. NJ. House, Henry Morgen-
thau and William G. McAdoo. The dis
pute has even been carried into the
White House, and has reached Joseph
Tumulty, secretary to the President, a
friend of Lynch. Colonel House and
Tumulty scarcely speak to each other
and the secretary is said to have re-
ceived orders to open no mail that
passes between Colonel House and the
President. Friends of Lynch at ma
tonal headquarters have become the
object of suspicion TO such an extent
that a shake-up is said to be due this
week.
The clique which surrounds Presi-
dent Wilson became active Immediately
after Mr.. Wilson went to Washington.
The first man they went after was Will
lam F. McCombs, and they succeeded in
getting his position as chairman of the
national committee. The coterie con-
sisted then of McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury and son-in-law of President
Wilson; Colonel House, Wilson's chief
adviser; Morgenthau, the Democratic
party's biggest money man. and Thomas
Pence, publicity director of the Demo
Gratis, who has since died.
Lynch, Coterie's Choice.
After McCombs had been ousted the
trio cast their eyes about for chair
man for the 1916 campaign. Lynch had
become a national figure in politics
through backing Governor John John
son of Minnesota for the Presidency in
1908. The campaign Lynch conducted
in Johnson's behalf attracted national
attention, but Governor Johnson died
before the 1908 convention was held.
Lynch was one of the first to shift TO
Wilson at the Baltimore convention in
1912, and was regarded as one of the
most practical and forceful men in the

Bear, which. including her equipment,
cost $4,000. The boat was 1877 feet
long, 32-foot beam and had a draft
of IA feet and a speed of seven knots
per hour. Her oaken hull was sheathed
in iron wood.
The Great Bear carried 5000 gal
Ions of fuel and about $4,000 worth OF
provisions.
Entire party WE'LL" was the cheer
ing news received by Mrs. Borden
wife of the explorer. in wireless mes
sage received from her husband to-
day.
Another message said the party ex'
tected to reach Nome. Alaska. Sun
day.
The new power schooner Great Bear
left here July 26 for an extended cruise
into the Artic. When the vessel left
here, Mr.. Borden, Captain Lane and
Norris Blokum, Of Chicago. and crew
of twenty men were aboard. others
went by mail steamer to Nome, where
they expected 10 JOIN the eApeuiVio"
The Great Bear was especially con-
structed to withstand the pressure OF
the Arctic ice foes and it was Captain
Lanes intention to penetrate as far
as Banks Land, where he expected to
meet Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Ca
madam Arctic explorer, for whom ne
carried supplies.
Until the wireless message was re-
ceived to-day, nothing had been heard
from the Great Bear since the time
when she was reported leaving I'm
alaska for Nome. The trip across Ber-
ing Sea should not have required more
than a week and when she failed to
arrive at Nome. great anxiety was felt
for those on board. and the McCul-
loch was dispatched to search among
the islands.
