BRYAN OPPOSITION TO
 \ DRY" TICKET
Prohibitionists Plan Full Slate This Fall With the Commoner as Standard Bearer Unless He Posi- lively Refuses to Run Talk Platform Planks
[RepubIIcan A. ?. Leased wIrel

LINCOLN Neb., July 20-Leaders in various delegations to the Prohibition national convention tonight declared they will go into their first session to-
 morrow determined to name William
 nominee despite the fact that they have received word indirectly from
 MT. Bryan that he does not want the
 nomination and does not consider it
 advisable for the party to place a
 ticket in the field for :8e coming cleo
 tion
 Ultra Dry Platform Proposed
 The only thing that can avert an at tempt by a large number of delegates to stampede to nominate Bryan by ac
 cIamation is for the Nebraskan to send word that he positively will not ac cept the nomination, according to many state leaders. 4 telegram was
 sent to MT. Bryan today informing him that unless such a statement is forth coming his supporters will attempt to
 carry out their plans of placing him before the people on the dryest plat form that can be framed.
 The decision to attempt to force the nomination on Mir. Bryan was made late today after secret conferences of national committeeman, delegates and friends of Mir. Bryan here.
 Yesterday. the delegates appeared certain that Mir Bryan would accept. Today group of national committee men were called into conference by Bryan's friends here and confidentially i informed that the Nebras skan did not
 want the nomination and that he 1:d not want the convention to nominate 1 any one. but merely to lay plans for l work in various congressional districts
 f1aif ion l ists were told that MT. Bryan felt he could carry only scattered districts in
 an election.
 l Consequently, the Bryan boom died down and the booms of several other 1 candidates assumed larger proportions.
 Late today however, additional secret conferences were held and the decision ! made to let Mir. Bryan know that the
 only way he could avoid being nomi- mated would be to send direct word himself to the convention.
 New Yorker Second Choice 1 The lapse in the Bryan boom during | the early hours of the day revealed 1 that Dan A Polling of New York. act | ing international president of the Christion Endeavor, will have consid- l erable strength as many delegations
 announced him as their second choice, 1 Bryan being first
 1 Besides the usual dry blanks. the | platform committee will have before | it proposed blanks on several other | schedules. Among these will be blanks l advocating public ownership of rail

 eral anti-lynching laws and one deal l ing with labor problems.
 Warren G. Stone. grand chief of the
 Order of Railway Engineers, has pre- pared a labor plank which will be pre-
 sented to the committee. An anti-to- bacco plank to be proposed by a Colo
 rado delegate is not likely to receive serious consideration, according to na- i tional committeeman.

BILL RESTRICTS JAP INFLUX INTO ]. 5. TO PASSPORT PROBATION

SAN FRANCISCO. July 20-ReStric- ton of Japanese immigration to the to a probationary plan for immigrant classes is provided in a bill being pre- pared by the house immigration and naturalization committee, Representa- tive Albert Johnson. chairman, an nounced here today
 Passports, Johnson said, would be for a limited period and would be for lawyers, doctors and students. The probationary plan. he asserted, would give immigrants a certain period to accept the laws and customs of the United States and also give the gov ernment a period to determine if the immigrants are desirable.
 Johnson made the announcement at luncheon given the committee by Chinese.
 K. K. Kawakami. Japanese author and publicist. was the principal wit ness again at today's hearing in the committees investigation of the Jap anese situation. In addition to Chair man Johnson's questions, he denied having discussed bringing ammunition into the United States from Mexico and talking with two Japanese army officers on the subject
 Dr. H. P. Johnson, a witness, said certain Japanese had always had good regulations among American mission ares WOIhluB ICIe Nlin Japanese.
 Well perhaps you can tell me, pr. Johnson" Chairman Johnson said. why so many young Japanese con slider it their duty to send copies of letters to their conSuls and make other reports. I often have wondered if it was exUberance of spirit and patriot ism for their country that prompted them to do such things as looking into my mail in Tacoma hotels"
 Dr. Johnson said he supposed it was an excess of zeal.
 Rev. A. w. Palmer, pastor Of a Ho- nolulu church, said that where Japa . nese had been Christianized and edu- cated in public schools they had been AmericaniZed successfully. Thousands of young Japanese had renounced ale glance to Japan and the third genera ton. if not the second, could be con- sidered sufficiently American. he tes- tified. He expressed the belief that immigration should be restricted by treaty and not by local laws.

NEEDS BUT ONE MORE RACE
 ID WIN PR|ZED CUP
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

BOAhJ TORIA, July 2O.-Convinced that an ambition cherished for 20 years is about to be realized and the Americas cup be lifted by a yacht flying his flag, Sir Thomas Lipton watched sham rock ". win a second and clean cut victory over the cup defender Resolute today, jubilant as a boy out of school
 Part of the joy aboard the Victoria arose from the fact that triumph came when hope had all but been abandoned that the racers. could finish within the time limits.
 There was no Encouragement in it for the Irish sportsman and his friends. Shamrock had sailed as never before since the race meet began. Coming from behind after a poor start and trouble at the start and her balloon Jib out of business when most needed, she had stolen by the wallowing Resolute- Down the first leg she had turned a disadvantage of a mile or so to lead of four minutes at the first turn. The change came just before the ssecond turn.
 Without warning, the breeze hauled clear around and swept in from the south and the sea, almost off the ter sey coast. It caught the Shamrock first. Jib and great towering mainsa1l went jibbing to port to meet 1t.
 
 live thing the green boat went heel ing down toward the marker with white water under her forefoot for the first time that day. This settled it. s-sliow the Race Looked From Above
 FROM A SEAPLANE OVER RAG ING COURSE, July 20-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Variable winds which now waited advantage to the chal- lenger and then shifted their transient favor to Americas cup defender, made today's race for the international yachting trophy by far the most in- teresting thus far sailed in New York s outer harbor.
 In contrast to the apparent inac- tivity of the crews of Shamrock IV. and Resolute on the first trial of the second event, as viewed from the air, today spectacle gave the correspondent of the Associated Press and the pilot of his swift moving aerial observation sta ton as much as they could do to keeT up with the varied maneuvers the two sloops went through.
 The two rival shippers had theii men darting here and there over slant ing decks with lighting rapidity, ol swarming at a word of command into the rigging to wrestle with a recalci- 1 trant spar or sail which fouled in the settings.
 The green hu1led challenger, par | ticularly in the early stages of the con- test, kept a pair or more of her sailors in the shoruds a great part of the time.
 Though the weather was clear or the ground, a low hanging mist short ened the aerial panarama to only 2 few miles in each direction.
