We were running along with all our

and happy there at the helm, and nod
ded a smile to Aim, which he returned
with flash of his teeth. He loved
his boat; he asked nothing better
than TO watch her behaving just as
she was doing. And the other boys
seemed quiet and happy too. lying
along the sides of the house, ready
for the captains order, but meanwhile
content to look up at the great sails
and down again at the sea.
We were a ship and a ships crew

OF influences.
Tom was sitting forward plating a
rope. For all our experiences to-

Quoted the inquiry then, and found
that the man involved in the Good

may have made mistake.
The fireman is Henry F. Williams,

Williams had been ordered back to
duty while his body was still in plas-

Hays to Back

Primary Fight
Republican Leaders Said to
Have Decided Opposi-
ton to Senator Is Not
Fatal to His Candidacy
Nc,p York. Tribune
IYdshinOtou Burcou

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Will H.
Hays, chairman, and the leading men,
bers of the Republican National Com
mittec, it was learned to-day, have
rendered their support to Senator
James W. Wadsworth, jr., IN his cam
paign to succeed himself.
1t is understood here that the suf-
fragists, led by Miss Mary Garrett Hay,
and the Anti Saloon League forces, led
by William II. Anderson, will organize
q campaign against the Senator in tho
primaries next year," but most of the
suffragists, it is understood, will sup
port Senator Wadsworth if he wins in
the primary.
Chairman Hays, following his usual
habit, refuses to commit himself on the
Senatorship matter. His only concern,
as head of the national committee, is
to see nominated q man who can beat
a Democrat in the election next year
1t was learned to-day that Chairman
Hays, convinced the opposition to Sen
ator Wadsworth is not sufficiently
strong to prevent his success in the
primary, has decided to help the Sen
ator in every way practicable.
Opposition Leans Toward Mott
The opposition seem to be ccntring
on Representative Luther w. Mott, of
Oswego, as the most available cnndi-
date against Senator Wadsworth. There
is some talk, both in Washington and
in New York, about x-Representative
j. Sloat Fassett, of Elmira, and Repre-
sentative Bertrand II. Smell, of Pots
