SIXTH DISTRICT
REPUBLICAN CLUB
Daniels I.ieutenants De-
mand designations Of
Prominent Members.
COMPLAINT MADE ~
OF THREE WORKERS
Charge is That They Joined
With Forces of Opposi--
tion to Daniels.

Dissension Is again rife in the
Sixth District Republican club. It
is reported on good authority that
President A. J. Knapp has been re-
quested to ask for the designations of
Alderman Thomas Tierney, Charles
Kingston, member of the board Of
appraisal and George C. Wills, three
members of the club who are charg-
ed with having deserted the Republ-
cans on election day.
Friends of Fred w. Daniels, defeat
ed Republican candidate for. alder
man, charge that the three men nam
ed after pledging their support to
Daniels went uut to work secretly for
John F.. Clancy, Democrat, who was
elected sby II majority. Six votes
for Daniels would have given him the
election and his friends claim that
Tierney, Kingston and Wills Influenced
enough votes to defeat Daniels and
elect Clancy.
It is well known that Daniels
friends have approached Mayor Will
son and asked that Tierney be kept
from important committees in the
new common council and also that he
be ignored if he presents petitions for
improvements in his district. Alder
man Tierney at present is a member
OF the committees on fire department,
claims and unfinished business. AS a
hofdover alderman he would be slated
for more important committees in The
incoming council.
Tierney is the only Republican
ever elected to the council from the
Sixth istrict but the Republicans were
banking ON elect1ng another in the
person of Daniels, who to clineh his
popularity gave a big free clam bake
this summer to all Republican work.
ers. Thomas J. Cunningham, dep
uty sheriff and district chairman, is
known to have said that he had some
traitors in his force at the last elec-
ton and that was why Fred Daniels
failed to land.
Alderman Tierney denies that he
worked for Clancy and against Dan
iels. Prior to election he appeared
at Republican headquarters and as
sured Town Chairman ]. A. H. Rob-
inson that he was for the ticket and
that he intended to work for every
man on it, Daniels included. Dan
iels and his friends say this was but
blind on Tierneys part
Tierney has been Independent ever
since he was elected to the council
and has used his own judgment in
many matters rather than abide by
party caucus decisions. It will be re-
membered that he was one of the Re-
publican aldermen who desired to
grant the request Of the Lake Torpedo
Boat Co. to close. certain streets in
the East End when the common coun-
Gil held up the matter.
Even since the Republican club has
been organized the Sixth has been a
hot bed of Republican dissension. The
old feud which crops out at every
primary meeting seems about due to
break out again.

DESPERATE FIGHTING AROUND
CHIHUAHUA CITY CONTINUES;
BOTH SIDES CLAIM ADVANTAGE

Juarez. Nov. 27-The final result
Of the fighting between the de facto
government forces defending Chihua-
hua City and Francisco Villas bandit
army was unknown at the American
border early today.
Wire communication between Chi
huahua City and Juarez, broken pre-
sumably by bandits Saturday. had
not been restored. Carranza officials
here express the conviction that Viii
las efforts to take the city had been
defeated, although the last news re-
ceived directly from the battlefield
indicated that the bandits, during the
fighting Saturday, carried the con-
flict into the city proper, from which
they were finally elected after heavy
losses by both sides.
An account of the fighting early
Saturday from an Associated Press
representative at Chihuahua City was
delivered by courier at Maria, Tex
as, last night. This account stated

SUBMARINE Ma, FIRST OF ITS
TYPE TO Be COMPLETED, TAKES
TO WATER WITH EASE AND GRACE

More than $500 persons witnessed
the launching this morning of the
submarine N-4, at the Lake Torpedo
Boat Co.'s yards at the foot Of Sea-
view avenue.
The christening, which was accom-
plished successfully by Miss Dorothy
H. Elliott, Of Reynoldsville, Pa, who
had been delegated by Secretary OF
the Navy Joseph Daniels, occurred at
exactly Is minutes to IL o'clock, the
release of the ground-ways requiring
less than two minutes.
The feat, under the direct supervi-
sion of Works Manager Philip B,
Brill is classed as perfect launch
ing' as the schedule was maintained
with precision, the boat slid easily in
to the war and on a keel that was de-
clared to be less than one-one hun
dredth Of degree from level. Only
six loops were broken in the snub-
bling rope which brought the boat to
q standstill with both cradles free al
less than 100 feet from high water
mark. 1as-
The Ma is now made fast to one Of
the company's piers where she will at
once receive her internal mechanism
and finishing touches. It is expected
that she will be in commission within
less than six months.
About 5000 invitations had been is
sued to the launching which was
scheduled for high tide at 80 O'Clock.
A high christening stand had been
erected at the head Of the ways,
which were built at the foot of Sea-
view avenue to the right Of a direct
line to the waters edge. The Ma was
built between two sister ships, Ms
and NJ. The guests were admitted
within two gates and gathered on the
left side. One thousand motor cars
were parked outside, under super
vision of Lieut.. Wheeler. The crowds
inside were kept in place by Superin-
tendent Redgate and Captain Webb.

numbered many prominent city Off

PRICE OF WHEAT
SACS At RUMORS
OF TRUCE ABROAD

Chicago. Nov, 27-Wheat prices
came down today with crash. break
ing as much as . as cents bushel.
Big sales by some Of the leading
houses started a general movement to
unload holdings and gave an opening
for aggressive selling by bears.s
Talk of the likelihood of an afnais-
hics in Europe had considerable to do
with weakening the market and so
also had rumers Of the presence of a
fighting submarine off the American
Atlantic coast. Continued reference
to a. possible embargo by the United
States was likewise a factor.
July wheat, ia which the greatest
decline took place, fell to $1.45 as
compared with $1.54 1-S to $1.54 3-S
at the finish on Saturday.

Ships That Undersea Raid

New York, Nov. 27-Apprehension
is felt in shipping circles here in view
of the large number Of passenger and
freight steamships nearing this port
and the reported proximity of Ger
man submarines. Rumors Of sew
eral days to the effect that two Ger
man submarines have broken
through the allied Gordon and were
on their way to the Atlantic coast re-
ceived official recognition in the gen.
eral warning sent out last night by
the British cruiser Lancaster.
The warship, stationed Is miles
southeast of Sandy Hook, cautioned
all steamships flying the flags of the
entente allies to beware of hostile
sub-sea boats on this side of the At
lantic:
The British wireless read:
German submarines may be met
anywhere in the Atlantic, especially
west Of SO degrees west. Show no
unnecessary lights. Avoid all trade
routes and converging points
Not since the U-53 entered New
port harbor Oct. T., and on the fol-
lowing day sank several British mer-
chant ships has there been so much
uneasiness in marine quarters. 1t is
believed that the merchant vessels OF
the allies now loading In this port
will not venture out until the British
government gives assurances that the
seas are clear and the danger re-
mote.
Among the steamships belonging
to the allied nations due to arrive this
week are the Cunard line steamers
