Instructions for Hoover Causes Split Among
 Delegates

YAKIMA. Wash, May 5.-The choice for Republican National Committeeman of Washington re- mained uncertain early today after the delegates to the Repub- lican State Convention held eau cuses into the wee sma hours of this morning.
 Hoover sentiment seemed to have gained momentum among the early arriving delegates.
 The convention had before it a resolution calling for an in- structed Hoover delegation to the National Convention. The reso- lution was adopted by the Plat form Committee last night and adopted unanimously by the Com mittee for presentation to the convention body, despite rumors that the Fourth Congressional District delegates might throw support to Frank o. Lowden un- less N. c. Richards, of Yakima, is reelected National Commit teeman. If this happens, two of Washington National Conven- tion delegation may be pledged to Lowden.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The jagged hulk of the once proud August, frigate of the British navy which has been at the bottom of the Delaware river since Revolu- tionary days. is to be raised by the Gloucester County Historical society of New Jersey and pre- served as a historical shrine.
 Sunk by the so-called "Pennsyl- vania Navy" and row galleys on October g, 1777, off Red Bank, N J., the Augusta has been grounded for many years off Glou- cester, where 1t was lowed by government engineers while dredg- ing 50-foot channel in the Della ware.
 Souvenir hunters have chopped and hacked at the old ship until only little of the hulk shows above the water at low tide. From it's timbers was constructed the New Jersey room in the Conti- mental Memorial Hall of the Daughters of the American Revo-

RADIO SOON TO

Former Chief Signal Off cer Makes Prediction
 Regarding Alaska

WASHINGTON, May 5-Major General c. Mex. Saltzman, recent ly Chief Signal Officer of the Army, points out that last year was the greatest in the Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph sys- teh
 Commercial business was over $27S,000 and government business was over $130,000, not including the War Departments business.
 Saltzman is looking toward the time when all communication with Alaska to and from the outside will be done by radio which is gradually replacing the cable and telegraph. He said: "The time is coming when we will be able to abandon the cable as the whole utilization of short wave lengths is going to make it possible. We are not in a position to make the change at present but hope to make it in comparatively short time."

BRITISH FRIGATE TO BE
 RAISED FROM DELAWARE

lution at Washington, 25 years ago. From the decks and ribs of the ship have been made many a cane and "ditty box"
 The Augusta, 64-gun ship, had come up the Delaware to support the British attack on Fort Mer- cer. Comprised only of sail boats, the Pennsylvania Navy" was un- able to tack around and attack tn , frigate, but foreseeing this possi- bility, the Americans had set two lines of "cheveauxide-friese" to ground the vessel at turn in the channel. The "cheveaux-de-friese, l" a flashing together of chains and submerged logs weighted down by stones, was the invention of Ben jamin Franklin.
 The Augusta was caught by the crudely constructed invention and row galleys manned by Continent als heated cannon balls and fired them into the sides of the frigate. Filled fore, aft and amidships with explosives. the ship was sunk and 50 of the crew killed.

 Old Massachusetts TOuns

WORCESTER, Mass. May 5- The lean shadow of desertion and disintegration is lengthening daily in the valley of the Swift River. Towns that took root with the coming of Puritan pioneers are to be submerged beneath the waters of the river that helped give them life.
 The Boston metropolitan water district needs larger water sup. ply and Massachusetts is serving writs of election on hundreds of families. The greater part of the river valley will be converted into mammoth reservoir covering ap- proximately 90 square miles, and $50,000,000 already has been set aside for it's building.s

WILKINS ASKED TO MAKE TRIPS
 ABOARD ITALIA
Declines Invitation from Nobile-Writing Book
 on Polar Flight

GREEN HARBOR, May b. Capt. George H. Wilkins and Ben Melson hope to leave here next Monday or Tuesday.
 Commander Umberto Mobile has invited Capt. Wilkins to accom- pany him on three trips of the dirigible Italia to Greenland, the North Pole and Nicholas, (Sec- ond) Land. Wilkins has refused, with thanks.
 Capt. Wilkins is working day and night on his book describing the Polar trip from Point Bar row, Alaska, to Spitzbergen, writ ing it himself on typewriter and hoping to get it ready prior to his departure. This is ac- cepted as the reason for his re- fusal to make trips on the Italia.
 Weather conditions are in- creasingly unfavorable for the flight of the Italia here from Norway. A snowstorm is in pro- gress today.
