JERSEY RoUsEs JoHNsoN'S IRE.
He'll Put Up Not a Cent for Recount
of Primary Votes.


Indianapolis. May 3.-Senator Hi
ram Johnson hasn't any intention OF
putting up $50 900 to secure recount
Of the New Jersey primary votes, as
required by the court order entered
there Saturday. He spent the final
Sunday of the Indiana primary cam
paign in a series of conferences
about It. His campaign manager,
Angus McSween, came on from the
east to talk it over. The senator may
withhold a formal statement until
after the Indiana results are known.
II Indiana goes wrong" from the
Johnson viewpoint, the country may
expect declaration Of war from the
Californian that will be carried all
the way thru the Chicago convention.
The senator Is intensely indignant
over the $4,000 proposition. Tut all
he said last night was: The burg
larry at Chicago in 1912 is admitted
row by some of the burglars. We do
not propose to have that job repeated
in the Coliseum next month"
In the Johnson Wood fight to car
ry Indiana on Tuesday the Wood
management does not expect to Sc
cure a majority, but believes the
general will have a plurality of at
least 10000 in total vote now esti-
mated at 100000
Some Of Senator Johnson's leaders
profess to believe they will get a ma
tority; others, not SO confident, say
they will be satisfied with a plurality.
Last minute reports indicate that
Governor Lowden's vote Will be much
larger than had seemed probable
when the contest tended to settle
down to whipping finish between
Johnson and Wood. It is now indi-
Gated that Governors Lowden's vote
will be we'll over the $4,000 mark.

Dental contender is believed to have

The first navy built on the CONT

To Cortez twas a solemn, great
event
First OF it's kind upon the continent
And in it's celebration mass was said.
While banners to the wind were gay

And on the air the cannon loudly

AS if to say that Mexico was doomed
Then, one by one, before rejoicing
Amid a chorus Of exalting cries
The stately vessels glided toward the
