|UN|ON|STS TRIUMPH
AT POLLS IN ULSTER.
Party Leaders Claim Election
Of Forty Out Of Fisty-two
Parliamentary Candidates
CRAIG WINS BIGGEST VOTE

Belfast, May 27.--Ulster election re-
turns are coming in gradually. The
Unionists captured all the Belfast seats
contested, which was fifteen out Of SIX
teen. In West Belfast Joseph Dew
lin was successful against Mccullough
and Mclntie. The Sinn Feiners cap
tured Derry City and In the county the
Unionists gained three, with two d.
vided between the Nationslists and Sim
Feiners. The Unionists won three seats
In Antrim.
Sir James Craig, Premier designate of
Ulster, polled almost 10000 votes,
which establishes. q record for the bal
loting in Ulster. His nearest competitor
was Eamonn de Valera, the Irish Re-
publican leader, who received more than
10000 votes. The election Of de Valera
b In addition to his election in the
Southern Parliament for County Glare.
Arthur Grifith, founder of the Sinn
Fein orgaDizations was elected in the
joint Fermanash and Tyrone division.
Mr.. Griffith was arrested late last No
vember and has since that time been in
Mountjoy prison in Dublin. A daring
attack to release him was made BY q
party of Sim Feiners two weeks ago,
but the attacking party was beaten Oh
Considerable depletion Of the treas-
uries of the Sinn Feiners and the Ma
tionalists as a result Of the Irish elec-
tons was forecast here today, as II
was pointed out that in each case OF
failure Of a candidate for Parliament
to take the scat to which he was
elected a forfeit of f160 NORMALLY
$780, win have to be paid. As the
same rule will prevail throughout
southern Ireland as in the Ulster area.
1t was predicted that the election
would be likely to prove very expensive
TO the Sinn Fein.
The double victory of Joseph Devlin
for q Belfast seat and also one in one
County Antrim, will cost him EGO
should he enier Parliament. as he can
not represent more than one con
stituency. When the Parliament meets
the speaker will declare one Of Mr..
Devlin's seats vacant. The choice Of a
Unionist for whatever vacancy may be
declared Is virtually assured.
The Cnionists expected to win thirty
four Of the fifty two seats, including
those for the university. which will be
decided Saturday. They will probably
get nearer forty seats.
Dublin, May 27.-The damage direct
and indirect to the Irish people ms a
result Of the burning of the Dublin Gus
tom House by the Sim Feiners Is esti-
mated at several million pounds. The
cost Of replacing the building alone will
be $500, 900.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
great dome, which for more than a cen .
fury has been landmark to incoming
ships, corresponding to the Statue OF
Liberty at New York, melted and col
lapsed, but there remains poised high
statue of Hope.

WOLcOtt Declines
Place on Bench


serious consideration at your hands
These reports have come TO me from
gentlemen whose relations with you were
OF such character as led me to believe
that the possibility of your naming me
was, indeed, a probability.
II thereupon began to give serious
consideration to what my answer would
be In case the tender Of the position
should be made to me. I thought this
out alone, and then sought the counsel
and advice of friends in whose judy
ment i had great confidence, and whose
purpose knew TO be high minded.
After many conferences and much
serious thought and discussion. IL was
the judgment of myself re re-enforced by
the judgment of the friends with whom
conferred, that could, with all pro
priety. accept the appointment IL it
should be rendered. II Ia not worth
while for me to detail TO you in this
letter the various considera tions which
controlled the views of myself and
friends. IL is sufficient to say that when
the final decision was reached, was
convinced, as were my friends, that no
legitimate criticism could be urged
against my accepting the appointment.
Misjudged Public Sentiment
Il of course. knew that there would
be some who, from purposes of their
own. would endeavor to stir up ad
verse criticism. | was convinced, how
ever, that public sentiment, which must
always be regarded IN the naming Of
high officials, would find no fault in
case | became the chancellor.
Now, that your intention is pub
lie. however. | find that those Of US
who discussed the matter were mis-
taken in appraising the possible pub
lie sentiment.
"As much as | desire to occupy a
judicial station l would not want any
place on the bench IL there was any
considerable body of public opinion
questioning the propriety of my occupy
ing such place.
I'm this particular instance | still
think the criticism is not well founded.
| am still Of the opinion that there is
nothing questionable in the proposed
appointment. | believe, however, that
a considerable public sentiment does not
agree with me in this regard. IL this
were matter purely personal to myself
| would allow public opinion to pursue
its course and content myself with the
satisfaction Of knowing that in my own
esteem l had suffered no detriment.
But, inasmuch as the matter Is moi
pure " personal to me, but involves the
sentiment of the public toward the
bench. ! am compelled to recognize
the feelings Of people no matter to what
extent | might disagree with them.
For the Sake Of the Bench''
For the sake of the bench, a pro-
posed occupant thereon cannot afford
to decide that sentiment, though he dis =
agrees Herewith.
II feel confident that as you reflect
upon the situation. you will entertain
the same views as do. You. as the
appointing power have great respon =
sibility in this matter, and ] personally
know that you are taking that responsi :
bility with great seriousness. You are
no more willing to have the Office OF
Chancellor go forward into the future
with any adverse public sentimen,
against the occupant than l am"
