London, June 2.-The To-day battle

the fiercest fighting in all history,
reached new pitch of violence today.

the massed attacks. following each

Minor Candidate Managers Show

"OlD GUARD" IS FOR ROOT
Organization Leaders Apparently Pre-
fer Any Candidate to Hughes or

Chicago, June 3.-The problem as to
which candidate lis likely to be nomi-
mated for president by the republican
national convention seemed as far as
ever from solution last night. Nu-
merous conferences between party
leaders yesterday failed to result in
any agreement on candidates, so far
as could be learned.
While on the surface the fight ap-
peared to be between Roosevelt and
Hughes against the field, there was a
marked increase in activity at the
headquarters of the various "favorite

Root, Weeks, Burton, Fairbanks and
Sherman booms insisted that their
candidates would remain in the fight
until the end They declared, after
tabulating the vote claimed for Roose-
welt, that the successful candidate
would either be one OF the "favorite
Sons or a dark horse.
The plan OF the old organization
leaders is said to be to try and win
first with Root, and il they fail in this
effort, to give Burton. Weeks, Fair

convention in the order named In
the event Of failing to put over any OF
these the plan is to try to win with a

outbreak of the war had finally come
to mass; The German and British
high seas fleets had clashed in open
battle.
The British admiralty admits the
loss Of at least ii ships. as follows
Battle cruisers Queen Mary, lnde-
fatigable and lnyincible sunk.
Cruisers Defense and Black Prince
sunk, and Warrior disabled and aban-
doned.
Eight torpedo-boat destroyers.
The Germans suffered losses much
smaller both by British claims and
Berlin's admission. The German ad-
miralty admits the sinking of the bat
tleship Pommern and the light cruiser
Wiesbaden, and says that the cruiser
Frauenlob is missing. number OF
torpedo craft also are missing.
Details Of the battle have not yet
been received but it is evident that a
powerful German fleet caught a Brit
ish battle-cruiser squadron apart from
the main British fleet and punished II
severely in a battle lasting "A hours,
finally retreating before the approach
of the main British fleet. There was
great loss of life
A supplementary statement issued
by the British admiralty early this
morning claims that two German
dreadnought battleships of the Kaiser
class, 24.7O0 tons, were sunk, that one
battle cruiser was blown up and two
others damaged and that submarine
was rammed and sunk, These losses,
if confirmed, would make the score in
the battle more nearly even.
From the advices thus far received
it would appear that the greatest
naval battle OF history has taken place.
Never before have two naval forces of
such magnitude as the British and
| German high sea fleets engaged in com
bat. But apparently the battle was
not fought out to point to determine
