AS to the Sussex case, the issue may
come to lie between the German evil

the question of the German subma-
rines right to attack frcighters. 1t was
clearly indicated tonight that the Uni

state Republican committee.
Tanner was e-elected this afternoon
after one of the sharpest fights in the
history of New York politics. The re-
suits are seen by leaders Of various
factions in the party:
Virtual endorsement of Supreme
Court Justice Hughes as the choice of
the New York delegation for president
The defeat Of a second attempt to
obtain an endorsement for the candi-
dacy of former Senator Elihu Root.

Contention Of United States.

The contention Of the United States,
as frequently and fully pointed out by
high administration officials, briefly is
this
Americans who ship as passengers
on liners are on those ships by choice
and should not be subjected to danger
or loss of life through unwarned or
unwarranted attacks by submarines.
Americans who ship as seamen or in
any other capacity on board neutral or
belligerent non combatant ships are on
such boats in pursuit of their liveli-
hood and should therefore, perhaps be
more assured of safety from unwarned
or unwarranted attacks by subma-
rines Only two conditions, it has been
repeatedly explained. should forfeit
their assurances of safety, namely, at
tempt by the captain of the ship to
escape after warning shot, or an
offensive act by the ships commander.
An unofficial report was received
here late today that Germany has de-
MED responsibility for damaging the
Sussex, declaring that no German sub
marine was in the vicinity. The state
department has received no advices
from Ambassador Gerard since
United Press dispatch from Berlin yes
terday reported he had Germany's pre-
liminary reply.
1t has been said by officials high in
the counsels of the president that the
evidence in possession Of the United
States is sufficient to Convince the
president and Secretary Lansing that
German submarine attacked the
Sussex. This evidence, the nature and
extent OF which has been carefully
guarded pending the receipt of Ger
many's report, must be considered
from the point Of view of its conclu-
siveness before the president an
nounced course of action.

New Submarine Campaign.

Aside from the Sussex the president
and his cabinet are said to be con-
WINGED Germany had embarked upon a
new submarine campaign, contrary to
assurances given the United States.
More than a score Of unarmed neutral
ships attacked during the last two
weeks and a half are cited as proof
of this. On some of these the lives of
Americans have been jeopardized.
1t is the firm belief of these officials
that Germany cannot pursue her pres
ent methods of submarine warfare
without repeatedly endangering the
lives Of Americans.
Affidavits sent to this country from
American consuls abroad on the chan
mel attacks and official report from
Gerard on the Berlin attitude were ex-
pected not late rthan Monday. Com
rlete evidence will be ready for pre-
sentation to the cabinet Tuesday and
the action proposed by this govern
ment Is expected to be revealed on
that day.
