Mentor.

CBy the International News Service. }
New York, June 4-CharIes Evans
Hughes has chosen. as his political guide,
philosopher and friend in his fight for the
Presidency, George w. Wickersham. He
made the selection today after he and Mr..
Wickersham had ended a lengthy con-
ference.
Whether Mr.. Wickersham will be Mr.,
Hughes choice for chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee is problem
atical. but not at all impossible As ma
tional chairman, Mr.. wickersham would
be campaign manager officially. Not
alone is he a warm personal friend of
the Republican nominee, but his selec-
ton would go far to assuring some of
the skeptical leaders that Mr.. Hughes
intends being absolutely regular"
During one of his conferences With
former Senator Crane. Mr. Hughes de-
cided upon 2:30 Monday afternoon as the
hour for meeting the subcommittee that
is to assist him in appointing a national

PLATFORM TO CONDEMN
POLITICAL HYPHENATES

Well informed Democrats here say
President Wilson's defy to the hyphen-
ated vote yesterday is a forerunner of
the denunciation of "un-Americanism' TO
be contained in the st. Louis platform.
One plank in the platform will call at
tention to and condemn all alliances or
combinations which conspire for the pur-
pose Of embarrassing or weakening this
government when it is dealing diplomati-
cally with another nation Any political
party which modiies its principles to
emoarrass an administrators diplomatic
negotiations also will be condemned.
The platform will arrxisn those who
seek to debase' American institutions by
intrigue through combinations Of political
organizations, according to an authority.

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
Steamers Believed to Be Carrying Re-
endorsements for Field Marshal

CBy the International News service.)
Copenhagen, June 1.-THE German
cruiser Koenig Won sachsen (King OF
Saxony), a destroyer and twelve mer-
chantmen, have been sunk in a sea fight
in the Baltic, according to a report re-
ceived by the Exchange Telegram Com
pany.
The Dagens-Nyheter publishes the fol-
lowing:
Fourteen German ships, conveyed by
eight armed trawlers, the cruiser koenig
Won Sachsen and two destroyers in the
Baltic were suddenly attacked by six
Russian destroyers and submarines. The
Germans fed. 1t is believed twelve of the
merchantmen were sunk. 4 trawler has
arrived at Nykopeins with 80 survivors
of German destroyer. The Koenig Won
Sachsen was sunk with all hands"
The reported engagement apparently re-
suited from an attempt of the Germans to
land large body Of re-enforcements for
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's offensive
against the Russian line in the region of
Jacobstadt, on the Riga-Dvinsk front
The presence OF fourteen merchant
ships betrays the preparations Of the re-
ported movement.
Available naval registers do not list
the KoenIg Won sachsen. 1t probably is
one Of the four cruisers laid down in 1913
and expected to be completed during last
year and this.
