SHAMROCK IS SENT TO A
 DRYDOCK

Sandy Hook, N. J., July 22-The cup challenger Shamrock W was lowed to the Staten Island Ship building Company's plant today to be drydocked and have her underbody cleaned in preparation for the fourth race with the American defender Reso1ute tomorrow. The contest yesterday in which the two sloops went over the thirty mile course in exactly the same elapsed time, has added interest to the next race.
 Captain Burton, Designer Nichol- son and Navigator Claude Hickman of the Shamrock, were especially pleased with what they agree was a wonderfully fine race yesterday even if the challenger lost it on time al- 1owance.
 "Reso1ute is a fine boat" said MT. Nicholson, ''and Herreshoff has de- signed a craft that goes better to windward than Shamrock. On the run home before the wind yesterday the sloops raced along beam to beam as if they had been locked together. It was a fine race even if we did lose it."
 The race tomorrow will be over a triangular course ten miles to a leg. Shamrock is expected to force the Resolute to the limit, as the legs of the race will be reaches at which point of sailing the Lipton sloop has shown to her best advantage.

Chicago, July 22-Heads of the great railroad brotherhoods today were divided in opinion on the, course of action which should be pursued as to acceptance or rejection of the $500, 0,000,000 wage increase granted by the railway labor board.
 At the close of an all night session, at which no agreement was reached on a plan for concerted action. six of the brotherhoods, in addition to the masters, mates and pilots of America, had expressed themselves as favora- ble to acceptance of the award in its entirety, seven favored referring the question to the unions with recom- mendation that 1t be accepted; two were undecided. and the Brotherhood of Railway Photographers had decided to reject the award and was said to be preparing for a strike ballot

The statement of the company fol- low:
 "In order to meet increases in cost of operating theA street railway ser vice The Connecticut Company must obtain a greater revenue. The pay rolls for 1920 will be one million dollars greater than last year due to recent advances in rates of pay. Coal which cost S4.00 per ton a few years ago and $7.00 per ton last year is now selling for $13.00 per ton and at times even more.
 .The authorities in the various cities where efforts are being made to restrict ruinous jitney bus compe- ,tition have asked us to return to a flat rate of fare collection and we are, therefore, proposing a seven cent flat rate of fare covering the largest portion of each city area, but not in- cluding the entire areas falling within tho old five cent fare limits.
 "As we are now obtaining fares of eight, ten and twelve cents from a large number of the passengers whose payments will he reduced to seven cents it is clear that no lower rate will produce sufficient revenue. We have no means of determining whether the seven cent rate will be high enough, although 1t Is possible that with a restriction of ruinous jitney bus competition and a large use of the cars we may able to establish a lower rate.
 "sEsvery effort will be made to re- tain service upon all the lines now operated including all those in the country areas, but of course, suffi- cient revenue must be obtained to

HARDING OF OHIO

Chicago ILL.,, June 12-Uniteo
States Senator, Warren G. Har-
ding, of Ohio, was nominated to-
night by the Republican Nation
al Convention for the presiden-
.cy. His nomination was on the
10th ballot, after all of the fav-
.orites had been forced out of the
running by deadlock on the first
nine ballots.
His nomination was made
possible when Gov. Lowden, Of
Illinois. VIII owas leading on the
eighth ballot, releaed his dele
gats after he saw that the dead
lock could not be broken other
wise. Most of these went TO
Harding, who also gained some
from Wood and Johnson. After
he had received enough votes to
nominate him, a motion was
mad to make it unanimous, but
this was passed over the of the
LaFollette delegates, who made
it apparent that they were not
satisfied and who may bolt the
party.
Gov. Calvin Coolridge, of
Massachusetts, who is known as

account of the way he handled
