THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

JUDGING from the large number of
J votes cast and the unusual interest
manifested at the Republican Primaries
on Saturday last, the approaching cam
paign will be one of the most vigorous
in the history of New Castle County.
The candidates nominated will receive
not only the unanimous support of the
party, but will draw heavily from the
independents.
The Republicans have selected State
and County tickets that are entitled to
the unanimous support of the party
and they will receive it.
Formerly Democrats were encouraged
by Republican factionalism, but in the
present contest, during the last few
years, the Republicans are united, ant
that fact will produce listless Demo
cratic campaign.

TW" aNiat"rs from the air mail
SerVire field here reported late yes
tcrday that they had sighted what
appeared to be the hull of boat a
half mile from the shore five miles
east of Erie. Because of the black
ened appearance of the craft the air
men believe the derelict was of a
vessel which went down as result of
an explosion or fire. The machines
were flying at an altitude of between
500 and 400 feet. because of fog,
and III" pilots declare they saw boil
erS and machinery above the water.
The wreckage had not been sighted
by tugs or power boats which have
been searching since Monday for
some trace Of the Cornell. The YES
sci disappeared mySterious1y while
en- route from here to Buffalo to be
delivered to a Syracuse firm. which
had recently purchased her froy the
Great Lakes Towing Company.
Despite the reports of the aViatOrS.
II. f.. Gilpiu. president Of the Great
Lakes Company. said that every foot
"f the Canadian shore between Port

be covered by SearCherS. 1t was be-
tween these two places that the tug

parture from here last Thursday is
