GAINS IN
THE COUNTRY
Conservatives VIII Have Majority of
Delegates, Though Returns Show
Surprising Strength for La Toilette
(By United Press Association

Wy - AASSu Il ANSS kASSONldIIUAJ
Milwaukee, Wis, April 8.-With the
final returns on the candidates for
delegates to the Republican National
Convention cast at the primaries last
Tuesday coming in today, La Toilette
showed surprising strength in the
country districts. This vote has chang
ed the numerical make up of the dele
cation which Wisconsin will send to
the National convention, but the con-
troll of the delegates will remain with
the conservatives by probable ma
jority of from four to six.
The vote Of the country districts
has gone long way to offset the big
gains by Philips in the earlier re-
turns, especially on delegates at
large.
Of the doubtful districts, the Sixth
has eliminated the Philips candidate
by a small majority at the present
time the 10th and 18th will probably
be split.

Berlin, April 8.-If the channel
steamer Sussex carrying Americans
was torpedoed by German submarine
the U Boat commander violated his
instructions it was stated uncondi-

The Sussex was a passenger car
rying ferry boat according to re-

here today that the cases of the three
other ships was entirely different.
