SHIFT SHIPPERS

Sandy Hook, n. j., July Is - (By
The Associated Press)-Sir Thomas
Upton plans to take Captain Will
liam p. Burton from the wheel Of the
cup challenger, Shamrock ~. The
decision to supplant Captain Burton
as skipper of the Upton sloop was
practically decided upon at series
of conferences today between Sir
Thomas, Captain H. L. Garrett, rep
resentative of the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club on board the Resolute.' Charles

and Colonel Duncan +. Nellie, per-
soual representative of Sir Thomas

is also a yachtsman of ability as
shown in his contests in England.
Whether Captain Burton and his
wife, who sails on the challenger as
the sloop's time keeper, will remain
on board after the wheel has been
taken from the Gospert skipper, is
rot known, but the belief on Sir
Thomas steam yacht tonight was
that Mr. Burton would not care to
sail on the challenger under the cir
cumstances
Move Without Precedent
The removal of a captain, during
the progress of an Americas cup
match is believed to be without pre-
cedent in the history of cup racing.
Sir Thomas would not talk of Cap
tain Burton's removal or any of the
circumstances bearing upon it, other
than to say tonight when asked about
the last two races. that things were
not going as satisfactorily as they
might. Sir Thomas continues to- say
that he is more than, satisfied with

achim.

Skipper Burton
Bounced for Poor
Showing Shamrock
BRITISHERS DISMAYED

The challenger had shown great
speed in such sailing earlier and her
skipper seemed to rely on this to out
foot the Resolute and round the turn
on even terms though he would have
to travel farther to do it.
AS the Shamrock swung away on
her new course, the gap between the
two widened quickly. A cry Of dis
may went up on the Victoria's decks.
The Green hull was sailing if any
thing, away from the marker, nearly
at right angles to the Resolute which
was holding the buoy right under
her long bowsprint. Their courses
were almost at right angles.
When the Resolute went around
again a few minutes later she was
on the second leg of the course by
safe margin with the marker pass
ed on her lstarboard side, but the
Shamrock was already a mile astern.

Captain Burton to scrape his way

until she had swung back virtually
to the line of her first turn. The
Irish boat had not only not gained a
foot by the maneuovre, but had lost
minutes in time. She was where she
was before it was attempted.
Sir Thomas was aft on the Vic

AS he came to the rail, he asked
where the racers were.

glasses.

NEW YORK, May 6.-President De- schanel of France has refused to per init Madame Descanel to accept the $50O0 hat offered her by 5000 American milliners for her endorsement Of the -four seasons for millinery
 This was announced at the conven- ton here today of the Millinery Job bers' association when a letter was read from Ambassador Jusserand, declining the American creation made from ma terial supplied by each of the 4S states and decorated with nine paradise plumes, each costing $500.
 The ambassadorial letter, addressed to Henry $. Bernhard, head of the as- sociation, read:
 ''I am instructed by the president of the republic to inform you he sincerely appreciates the motives of your offer. on behalf of American mi1liners, of specially devised hat for Madame De- schanel. He joins those interested in the scheme in hoping that, in this. too, namely, a question concerning both trade and art, the two countries will more and more work together to their common advantage.
 As for the gift itself since it is not possible for Madame Deschanel to re- ceive, under such conditions, any gift of value, the president begs you not to realize your intention, for which he begs me, however. to tender you his sincere thanks"
