International News Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, March 11.-Sec-
Ond choice votes in the statewide
primary of last Tuesday Will not be
sufficient TO nominate Harry S. New
of indianapolis. as republican can
didate for United States senator.
This was evident today when all
but six precincts of the state had
been heard from on first choice
votes and one-fourth of the state had
been heard from on the second
choice. The first choice votes show
New is leading James E. Watson by
a plurality Of 5000 The second
choice votes indicate that Watson
and New are running even. SO even
should New get an even split in
the second choice votes he would
not have a majority over Watson.
The contest will likely go to the
state republican convention in April.
Because Of the confusion in count
ing the second choice votes in many
counties of the state il was not
known today when the official re-
turns would be complete. Many
recounts have been necessary.

The Norwegian bark Silius
which was sunk on the night OF
March 9 off Havre, France, was
torpedoed without warning, ac-
cording to a cable received at
the state department today from
American Consul Osborne at
Havre, France. There were nine
Americans aboard the Silius. All
were saved. Osborne also con-
firmed the sinking Of the steam

Officials regard the sinking of
the Silius as extremely serious,
because of it's posi- abilities. They
admit that the sinking of such
a vessel without warning when
there were Americans on board
is in direct defiance of the stand
