 A bowsprit- iron had worked inboard on the Shamrock, so that if the American craft had not been forced out of the race by an accident. the Shamrock, deprived of headsails, would doubtless have been left hopelessly astern. This became known only today, when a new bowsprit was stepped.
 Whereas yesterdays race was over q windward and leeward course-a fifteen mile beat down the Jersey shore and re- turn-tomorrow's contest will be over a. triangular course, ten miles to a leg Like yesterdays, tomorrows start ano nnish will be at the Ambrose Channel llshtship, in the middle of New York Bay but the course itself will not be announc- ca by the race committee until few min utes before the preparatory signal is blown.
 One course could be down the Jersey shore to point off Long Branch, then out to Set and then back to the light yes SCI. A second could be out to sea, then in the general direction of Long Island and then back to the starting point A third could be toward Long Island. sea- ward, and back to Ambrose Channel.
 And, ofs course, on all these theoretical courses, the last leg could be made the nrst and the course covered in the re- verse manner to that indicated The di- rectlon of the wind at the hous of the race alone will be the deciding factor.

Chicago. July 1e.-J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman of the Committee of Forty Eight, tonight issued a stZtement at taciing the newly formed Farmer-La- bor'' party and announcing that there was still a demand for real new par ey"
 The purpose of the delegates of the Committee of Forty Eight and the La- bor Party in meeting to organize com mon convention was never consumated," fhe statement said "A joint convention was never organized. did not function as a joint convention, and, tragically failed to form such a party for all the Amer1- can people.
 ..On the contrary, the meeting was un- dsr tre control of few labor leaders, who. in my judgment did not represent the desires of the rank and file Of Iabor. Parliamentary procedure was fragrant iv disregarded. Even the aspirations of inc labor delegates themselves as evil denccl by freqtent demonstrations was smothered.
 .sFrirthermore, it was quite apparent f-orn the action of their conference and rlztforIn ub-committees-an of whose hearings I attended, and from what oc- cured uuon the floor. that the labor lead CTS were determined not only to donlin- ate the proceedings, but to prevent the formation of party and the adoption or 2 platform which WouId give the Aiieii- -sn peoole q sane, economic programme, hv means of which the people could func- ton practically through candidates of their own choosing.
 .-TSe labor leaders were further de- terrnined to form a class party under the control of a machine which rivals in autocracy the methods of the demo cratic and republican parties. Our mis- take was in believing that the labor leaders would meet us half way in our sincere efforts to get together. Instead, they took advantage of the situation and -4 the exercise of their power, evidently referred to win personal trinmph rather than to create a great new party that would have appealed to millions Of Americans"
 Under these circumstances. Mir. Hop t,ins said. he could not affiliate with the new party and he asserted that millions of American citizens would still demand a political medium for expression.

HARDING Ts COMPLETING --
 HIS ACCEPTANCE sPEEcE

Marion, Ohio,~ July 16.-Another full work day was given by Senator Harding today to his speech accepting the repub- llcan nomination for president
 Working almost without interruption, the candidate put in one of the most arduous days in the two weeks since he returned to Marion, which itself has been the busiest period he has seen in years. He turnad aside from the speech only one or twice to dispose of urgent correspondence.
 One of these pauses was to send a tele- gram to the memorial committee of the American Legion relative to canoe ellation of tentative speaking engagement al the dedication of Memorial Park in St. Louis on July 18th. A---
 The tentative engagement was called, the senator explained because the date came before his formal notification and that of the vice presidential candidate, Governor Coolidge He said the pro- prieties required that he make no public addresses during that period r-'a
 The candidate also dictated a few let. ters and received several callers who had come from a distance to pay their re- spects Among them was a group of English clergymen who are touring this country
 The acceptance speech, which is to be delivered at the notification ceremonies on July 22nd, is expected to be shorter than most addresses fo that character occupying less than four printed col umns.
 The senator hopes to have it ready by tomorrow night for distribution in confidence to the newspapers.
 Since he came here from Washington Senator Harding has been almost con. tinuously at work and the walks and golf games which he mixed with business at the capital have been omitted.

 OF GONZALEZ AS REBEL LEADER

Mexico City, July 16.-Gen Pablo Con- zalez, former candidate for the presi- dency and alleged leader of the abortive revolution in the state of Nuevo Leon, whose capture was reported Yesterday, will be placed on trial immediately, ac- cording to official announcement. The government has appointed Generals Fran cisco -Coss of SaltiIlo, Enrique Estrada of Zacatecas and Joaquin Amaro of Tor reon as members of the court, according to the newspaper Excelsior.
 Gen. Gonzele's whereabouts were dis covered Wednesday night, but he resist ed arrest. claiming those who sought to apprehend him did not carry warrants for their action. The house where he was lodging was watched all night, officials in the meantime securing warrant to take him into custody. One version of the incident states he was found hiding in the cellar of the house this morning.
 Suspicion on the part of government authorities was aroused by Gen Gonza- lez,s refusal to p-oiicly denounce the up- risings led by military leaders in Nuevo Leon, the general claiming the rebel lious chiefs were his personal chiefs. A dispatch to the Heraldo says that supporters of General Gonzalez protest against the government holding him nI solitary confinement and claim this is in violation of the provision of the Consti- tuition of 1907. Legal action by which he can be protected is contemplated, it is understood.

ATHLETES COMPETE FOR
 OLYMPIC TEAM AT CAMBRIDGE

Cambridge, Mass, July 16.-The greatest aggregation of American ath- letes ever assembled in this country began a to-day competition for places upon the United States Olympic team in the Harvard Stadium today and when the final event had been complet- ed hopes of an American victory at Antwerp next month ran high. While no world or U. $. records were brok en, the average of the performances was exceedingly high nothwithstand- ing that tf< athletes held themselves in reserve for the more important contests of tomorrow.
 A major portion of the programme was given over to junior amateur athletic union championships, in which three records were displaced.
 These contests were followed by several series of elimination heats in the senior A. A. U. championships, which serve also as final tryouts for the American Olympic team which will sail for Belgium within the next ten days.
 Because several events which have no Olympic parallel were not included in today's championships programme, the team championship will not be decided finally until later in the sea- son. At the close of the days strug- gle, however, the Boston A. A. ath- letes had piled up points. The U. s. army team was in second place with B points, the New York A. c. third with 1S and more than a score of other clubs or colleges completed the list with points ranging from 10 to l.
 Chief interest cenfered, however, in the preliminary heats of the Olympic tryouts, every event being bitterly contested by the finest field of ath- letes ever seen on the Harvard track. All sections of the country were repre- sented.
 The size of the fields entered in the various senior Olympic events made 1t necessary to run off heats in the 1oG, 220 and 440 yard runs, the 40 yard hurdles and the half mile run. When the final. heat had been completed in the twilight, 46- -zlslaae winners out of a field of more than 1eV starters were still in the running and will. fight Il out in the semi finals tomorrow.
 Aside from the threE records broken, the junior championship games were remarkable for the showing of the athletic representatives of the army. Eleven soldier athletes scored points. The games marked the first organized appearance of army and navy teams al a championship meeting, and establish ed the potential value of service atm letics to the country's track and neld strength. The navy placed one man.
