TOY YACHTS USED
 TO PROVE THEORY
E. 4. Bull, American Designer, to Compete With British Expert at
 Bayside, l.. l., Tomorrow.

New York, June 7.-E. A. Bull to- morrow afternoon will journey to Bayside, l.. l., to defend an interna- tional trophy for model yacht racing against the challenge Of w, T, Dan iels of London--one of the foremo ost European authorities in yacht build ing of the seagoing type.
 Model yacht racing is a novelty to this country but the experts expect to see the testing of carefully worked out theories. The model yachts are really toys--costing from $75o to $1,000 apiece. The two model yachts that will compete in series Of five races for the international cup are of class B rating, built to conform to special notifications of the American universal rules.
 MT. Bulls yacht is 45.5 inches on the water line and has mast about eight feet high, a sail spread of from 5000 to 3,100 square inches and weigh 39 pounds-31 of them of lead. Dr. Bulls theory is that short hull with relatively large sail area will go faster than a long boat with lesser spread.
 MT. Daniels yacht is 50 inches on the water line, carries 2,700 square inches of sails and weighs A pounds, 33 Of lead hanging from her keel to balance the light hull in q stiff wind It is so delicately made that he called it "a bread and butter boat"

OLD GUARD IS LOSING
Progressive Landslide in Iowa Gives Republicans There Considerable WOrry-BroOkhart Winner.

DesMoines, June Mon commit tai acceptance at Washington by Sen ators Cummins and Rawson, of Iowa, of the news of the Smith w. Brook hart landslide for US. senator aroused speculations in "old guard" circles here today as how Brookhart would fit into the republican party machinery.
 Returns from 2235 Iowa precincts out of 234S for the republican sena- torial nomination emphasized the pro- gressive victory giving Brookhart All per cent of the total cast, and sent Clifford E. Thorne, another progress sive into second place above Charles E. Pickett the old guard republican candidate. The tally now gives:
 Brookhart, 129,426.
 Thorne, 50,693.
 Pickett, 49,S39.
 Francis, 39,024.
 Sweet, 33,962.
 Stanley 12,641.
 The fact that Cummins defeated Brookhart for senator two years ago after a campaign in which the latter attacked Cummins' railroad legisla- ton record will not tend to bring har- mony in the Iowa senatorial delega- ton, politicians pointed out.
