Convention Adiourns Without
Hearing Whether Colonel
Roosevelt Will Enter i,
Race for Governor.
By Associated Press.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, July 49,
The New York republican state con-
vention suddenly adjourned today,
leaving unanswered many questions to
which replies were eagerly awaited.
Chief among these was whether
Col. Theodore Roosevelt would enter
the race for the governorship. The
prevailing belief was that he would.
The part played by the women dele
gates was not insignificant. Fully
one fifth of the 1904 delegates were
new voters, and woman, Miss Mary
Garrett Hay of New York, was made
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee.
Women figured in one incident that
was out Of harmony with the rest of
the session. This was when a dele
cation of the more militant national
women's party displayed from the bal
comics a banner demanding the sup
port Of u. S. Senator Wadsworth for
the federal suffrage amendment or
his resignation. At the direction OF
Chairman J. Sloat Fassett the banner
was taken away from the women and
crumpled up, but not until they had
struggled futilely to keep its mes
sage before the delegates.
The platform adopted declared for
a vigorous Twin the war" policy, COM
mended the administration OF Gov
ernor Whitman and "emphatically"
urged the New York senator's to vote
for the federal suffrage amendment.

CREW TRUE TO
TRADITIONS
OF U. S. Navy
Boats Launched Without Mis-
hap; Many Leap Into Water;
Bridge Officer Goes
Down With Ship.
By Associated Press.

Point o'Wods, N. Y, July 19.--Ac-
cording to stories of survivors, there
was no excitement aboard the San
Diego after the explosion. The cour-
age Of the men maintained the ira
ditions of the navy. All were pro-
vided with life belts and the ships
boats were launched without mis-
hap.
Many leaped into the water when
the decks were almost awash, but
were picked up. Several vessels sum-
moned by wireless gave aid. Several
of the small boats put ashore at Fire
Island.
The gunners stood by Until the last
that they might get shot at the
submarine.
The survivors who landed here were
given food and dry clothing after
which they walked mile across the
beach to Great South Bay, where
they were placed in power boats and
taken to West Sayville. From there
they left for New York in automo-
biles.
Airplanes on Search.
Several squadrons of airplanes and
dirigible put to sea soon after the
San Diego had been hit. Late to-
night one of these planes, in a Grip
pied condition was seen being towed
across the Great South Bay by pa
troll boat. No information was avail
able as to how it met its mishap.
The colors of the San Diego were
rescued by one of the sailors who
landed here. The flag had been lashed
to bit of drift wood and was being
held aloft in the boat when it came
ashore. The jackie who saved the
ensign climbed up the mast to get it
and then dived into the water.
None of those who came here need
ed medical attention and it was be-
lieved that if there was any loss of
life, it was in the engine room and
was caused by the explosion of the
boilers.
The sailors told of the heroic death
of a quartermaster who had been or.
dered to stand on the bridge while
the men were being sent to the boats.
He remained at his post, the sailors
said. until 1t was too late to same him
self or be saved. As the San Diego
sank they said the quartermaster
turned until he faced the shore where
hundreds of his comrades were float
ing about in boats and calmly saluted.
Then he went down with his ship.

Americans Drive in Line.
The Americans northwest of Cha
, teau Thierry have driven in the line
upon the plateau northwest of Bon
mes and to the height to the north
of Courchamps, the former position
representing a gain of three and a
half miles from the point of original
departure at Torcy. While it is not
possible yet geographically to delimit
with exactitude the gains made in the
two days fighting along the front by
the French and Americans. it is
known that at its deepst point the
penetration has reached approximate
ly seven miles and that over the en-
tire Is miles it ranges down to about
two miles.
In addition to the infiction of ex-
tiemely heavy casualties on the
enemy the French and American
forces up to the present have taken
more than 10000 prisoners, including
two colonies with their chiefs of staff,
and in excess of $50 cannon.
Enemy Now on Defensive.
The offensive on the entire west
crn front seems to have shifted to
the allies. East and west of Rheims,
where the Germans last Monday
started a battle along a 6s-mile front
from Chateau Thierry to eastern
Champagne, the enemy is now on
the defensive on most Of the sectors
where there is any fighting. Friday
saw the Germans lose additional
ground along the Marne to the
4 French and Italian troops. East of
Rheims the Germans have not seen
ft to resume the fighting.
Southwest of Ypres the British have
carried out another successful in
cursion into the German lines, cap
turing the village of Meteren, a point
of strategic value for observation pur-
poses, while further south Australian
troops gained ground. The two ma
neuvers cost the Germans nearly 400
men made prisoner and the loss of
number OF machine guns.

John l.. Kennedy told members of the

Placing patriotism above partisan
ship, he declared that the republican
always has been party of construc-
tive principles and patriotism, as his
tory has recorded.
Being patriots first does not mean
that we can not be republicans at the
same time, because the patriotism of
republicans has never been questioned.
mo man should be allowed to 60 on

can be questioned" he continued. 1T
is the duty of every man to vote for
the candidates who can best serve
their country.
Il am afraid of patched-up peace.
Republicans must stand firmly for a
permanent peace, which we can not
hope for while the kaiser reigns. If
we are going to have a peace that
