Says British "Lickedv

Newport, R. l., Sept. 16 P)-Win, lose or draw, the discouraging efforts of the luckless Shamrock V to beat the saucy Enterprise in two races have convinced one of Great Brit aims foremost sailormen that Eng land never can lift the Americas cup under present conditions and might just as we'll quit trying.
 The speaker is Rear Commodore Ralph Grove -Raines of the Royal Ulster Yacht club, Belfast, Ireland, home port and club of Sir Thomas Lipton. Commodore Grove-Raines has sailed the seas with the grand old Irish baronet for years, and is the guest of Sir Tom aboard the big steam yacht Erin. He knows the thought, the time, the wealth the S0-year-old merchant has invested in his vain but gallant dream of winning the Americas cup "a sort of crusaders quest for the holy grail of yachting. He knows that the beloved sportsman is tread ing wearily toward the end of his trail.
 England is beginning to realize now" Commander Grove Raines said as he sat in the sun on the afterdeck of the Erin and watched the Enterprise sail away from the Emerald challenger, that she can never lift the cup as things stand now and probably will never try again. She realizes that if Sir Tom can't do it with all the mill lions at his command and all the time and effort he has expended, then the task is impossible"
 Blames Crossing Strain
 Commodore Grove -Raines believes the strain of having to cross the At lantic under her own power, one of the terms of which a challenger for the cup must accept undoubtedly hurt the Shamrock. She looked to be an entirely different boat in trial races in British waters, a fast, keen boat that won the confidence of England beyond any other challeng- CT Sir Thomas has produced in the Shamrock line.
 Now look at her." said Commo- dore Grove -Raines, 'she sails as though she were dragging a crab pot"
 While the yachtman in no way rep resents the official opinion of the Upton party and spoke only for were ways of increasing the chances of the challenger from across seas to a point where they would stand more on a par with the defender. He suggested mainly that

melt. In 30 years in the navy while chief engineer of two battleships and superintendent of shops at the Brooklyn navy yard, Commander Manning learned what worm holes" cost in a machine age.
 Retiring in 1925 he adopted as an avocation the scientific work of metal mixing, seeking to make bet ter alloys. At first he maintained his own laboratory and later to get more facilities joined the Mar John Mines company.
 Some metals fuse with difficulty and Manning told today how he has found way to pour such metals to- gether while molten so that they mix successfully with somewhat the same ease and results as mixing two glasses of water. He adds a small amount of rare earths minerals which comprise IS of earth's 92 ele- ments all named for the difficulties encountered in trying to separate them.
 With these rare earths, he said, he obtains plastic bronze out of lead and copper, with a grain so fine that there are no globules to melt into "worm holes" when the alloy is used for bearings.
 Lead ordinarily melts at 700 de- grees Fahrenheit, but in Manning's alloy with copper stands HOO de- grees before melting.
 He exhibited another alloy so hard 1t scratches glass. but retains full tensile strength while red hot, until within a few degrees of its melting point 3.1OO degrees Fahren- heit. Alloys of this sort are used in steam shovel lips, railroad brake shoes and airplane tail sllids.
 The commander has other alloys of steel, tungsten and chromium; steel, copper and chromium tung- sten, nickel and chromium; and al- luminum and copper.
 Carl T. Hewitt, metallurgist for the Fafnir Bearing Co.,, today fore cast important results of the discov- cry by Commander Manning. His findings, however. will not affect the products of the Fafnir plant, since steel, only, is used in making bear ings there, but in the local plants where non-ferrous metals are used the announcement will be of impor- tance, MT. Hewitt asserted.

partment. Howard Alcorn of Hart ford, seconded the nomination.
 Mrs. Annie o. Vinton, of Andover, nominated pr. William L. Higgins, of Coventry, incumbent for secretary of state.
 At this juncture Mir. Rogers was escorted to the platform and spoku. MT. Salmon, of Westport, incumbent, and William J. Pape, were both placed in nomination for comptrol- Ter. On a standing vote, Pape re- ceived two votes-Hull anad Pond. After Salmon had been nominated, Hull, who had presented Papes name, moved that it be made unani- nous and it was carried.
 Goss Names Wilcox
 Edward W. Goss, of Waterbury, offered the name of Roy c. Wilcox of Meriden, for state treasurer. It was seconded by Charles F. Wheeler, of Stratford, and Eugene P. Golden, of Meriden. Choice was by acclam- ation.
 Judge Warren B. Burrows, of Gro- ton, was nominated for attorney general by Mayor Lee Robbins, of Norwich. It was seconded by J. Ed win Brainard of Branford.
 When the nominations had been completed, the new state central committee was elected, and the party platform adopted. The latter was presented by Daniel J. Cronin, Of Newtown.
 Action on Prohibition
 The administration at Washington can be trusted to get to the bot tom" of the prohibition problem as quickly as possible 50 that with the unvarnished facts before us and after a determined and drastic attempt at law enforcement we should know quite clearly which road leads most directly 10 temperance" Senator Walcott of Norfolk declared in his keynote" address before the re- publican state convention last night.
 "The results (of prohibition) in many ways have been disastrous" Walcott said. ''The bootlegging of intoxicating liquor is estimated to- day to be the fourth largest industry in the United States. The high price of intoxicants has placed a premium on law breaking"
 WGlcott added: We should know in a short time whether the control of intoXicants should be left with the federal government or the states, whether the 18th amendment should be retained O. repealed, or modified to make it merely permissive." Praises Tarin Law
 Th" senator'5 speech praised the tariff law an protecting the "Ameri- can stan'7rd living" landed the naval treaty as "the most substan- | tial undertaking toward actual world peace ... yet concluded, and ex- pressed qualification at the "un- selfish devotion" and "unfagging in | tcrest' of Connecticut's republican state administration during the last 1 15 years.
 Excerpts from the keynote" fol- low:
 "Thc opposition Cto the tariff) of international bankers and investors in foreign securities and in the cs- | tabliShment of plants in foreign countries with American capital is purely selfish and cannot be consid- cred by the legislator

skipper of the Enterprise, with two victories already written in the sloop's log was about early figuring on the weight of wind to make his selections for the day The heavier canvass of the challenger has ab- sorbed more moisture than the lighter sails of the enterprise but this added weight 'has not ma- terially affected Shamrock's work.
 Shortly before g o'clock the fdA began to lift some and prospects were brighter for a contest. There was little wind. The yachts in the harbor began to make ready to pro- ceed to the starting line as soon as the fog began to disappear.
 But at s:30, daylight, the fog had settled over the harbor, hiding the cup boats as well as the spectator fleet, A fine drizzle was falling and unless conditions improved a race to- day seemed out of the question. There was scarcely enough breeze to ripple the flags, and pennants flying from the hundreds of mastheads. The bunting hung Imply from the forest of stars while awnings and rigging dripped with the heavy mois- ture.
 No sign of activity was seen at this time aboard the race committee tug which had not left her dock
 Postponement for a day, with present conditions prevailing, was boon to the Shamrock, already twice defeated in light airs. It also all lowed her afterguard more time in which to ponder the two reverses and consider ways and means to im- prove the speed of their boat.
 The coast guard patrol force. which keeps the racing course clear, remained in harbor.
New Britain herald., 1930-09-16

England, for instance, should be al- lowed to build her boat in any sec- tion of the empire, such as the Do- mipion of Canada. Then six precious weeks out of the tuning up period would be saved and the strain and possibilities of harm in ocean cross ing avoi6ed
 Within the working forces of the | Lipton party there is evidence of rather acute differences of opinion as to the reasons for Shamrock's ab- solute failure to live up to past per- fornsanoes and expectations. With: | Sir Thomas himself i'll and aged and physically incapable of carrying the |, burdens of leadership he once glor- jed in, there seems to be dissension among those seeking to command.
 To Put Ballast Back
 They took ton of lead from tho ballast of the Shamrock, lost yester- days race by almost 10 minutes, and decided to put it back. There is the reported accusation from within the party that the tactics of the Sham rock skipper. Ted Heard. are at fault in that he has failed to sail definitely in eithG of the two ways open to him-to sail with the En- terprise and follow her tactics close ly, or else do exactly the opposite and maneuver without regard for the defender.
 Information is hard to get in con- trast to the old ease and availability of Sir Thomas himself. His secre- taries shield him from almost every possible contact, and truth of deci- sions and movements both afoat and ashore is often trifed with. The Shamrock even seems to show the effect of house divided within it. self, the sails appear too heavy for the prevailing light weather, and there are few replacements as com pared with the wealth of materials and gadgets aboard the Enterprise.

toned were Warren B. Burroughs of Groton, judge of the United States district court, and Frank E. Healy of Windsor Locks, who formerly occupied the office. Hardly any men ton was made of Ernest Averill who has been serving as assistant attorney general.
 Believe Seymour'S Chances Bright
 The New Britain delegation had q suite of rooms in a hotel. Mayor George A. Quigley did not mingle with his associates but remained se- cluded with some friends in anoth- CT room. In spite of Mayor Quigley's known friendliness toward Con- gressman F. Hart Fem the opinion Was expressed by several present that Seymour had an excellent chance of winning the nomination. It was reported that Mayor Quigley might switch at the last moment to Seymour.
 Little was said about the hotel lobbies concerning Mayor Quigley's candidacy for the nomination.
 Lethargy at Foot Guard Hall
 The lack of enthusiasm which was noted in the hotels was carried over to Foot Guard hall where the dele gates assembled to listen to the key note speech by Senator Walcott. The atmosphere was humid and de- pressing and the audience listened languidly while the keynote was be- ing sounded. Chairman Roraback was given applause as he opened the convention at o'clock and the gathering rose as a mark of respect for Senator Walcott as he prepared to read his manuscript.
 Veterans of other days whose memories extend over a more color ful period in state politics remarked that the proceedings lacked the zest that has marked other conventions.
 New Britain persons who saunter- ed from lobby to lobby were glad to shake hands with Assistant Prose- cutting Attorney Daniel Pouzzner of New Haven, a former resident of New Britain, who is making good in big way in the Elm city.

 My only fear" she continued, lis that the hearing will again be post poned. as was yesterdays, since Ger aid P. Nye knows that I have this evidence"
 Issues Long Statement
 Mrs. Mccormick issued an S0o- word statement charging committee employees with the wire-tapping and quoting Senator Yves denial of the charge and the statement of Senator Porter H. Dale. republican, Ver- mont. member of the committee. that such a proceeding would be a reproach on the entire personnel of the committee"
 T say" she said, that, If Sena- tor Nye has had knowledge of the wire tapping by his employees, he is unfit to be a senator and chairman of a senatorial committee"
 The committee will begin "where we left off September 3 to investi- gate this espionage and campaign expenditures" Senator Nye an- nounced at the conclusion of yester- days brief session which suddenly stopped when Oscar Carlstrom, at- torney general of Illinois, asked per- mission to make a statement on the attitude of Mrs. Mccormick and the state. It also was ready today to make public 47 telegrams sent and received by the Dannenberg Detec- tive Agency, employed to shadow members of the committee.

der the care of physicians.
 Since no physician was present when Stills died, the death certificate was unsigned. Coroner Frank Nance took, charge of the body and said an autopsy might be performed.
 Borne in Chicago
 Stills was born in Chicago Janu- ary 12, 1882, and attended public schools there. He graduated with a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Chicago in 1903, but remained at the university for sev- osophy.
 An interest in amateur theatricals took Sills from the scholarly atmos- phere of the university and put him behind the footlights. A prominent producer witnessed one of his per formances and persuaded him to take up acting as a vocation.
 Success came quickly 10 the young scholar, and after a debut in Dora Thorne" in 1906 in New Palestine, Ohio, he soon became Broadway's matinee idol. Twenty years ago he played in such sue cesses as This Woman and This Man." "Just Married" The Gov ernor's Lady," Law of the Land '' and Diplomacy" He also appeared in Shakespearan plays.
 Joins Hollywood Stars
 In 1914 he joined the migration to Hollywood and the screen, His stature-Sills was six feet one inch tall and weighed 190 pounds-won for him the two listed roles which led to stardom.
 Among the best of his motion pie lures were "The Barker" Burning Daylight" "The Crash.' "The Hawks Nest" and "The Valley of the Giants"
 At the height of his stage career Sills married Gladys Edith Wynne in London, May 2G, 1910. To them was born a daughter Dorothy, who was with her father when he died. The marriage ended in the local divorce courts in 1925, Mrs. Stills charging desertion. A year later Sills married Miss Kenyon and to them was born a son, Kenyon Clarence Stills, now three years old.
 Survived by Mother
 The actor is survived by his mother, Mrs. William Stills, or Chi. cago. His father died of a heart attack several years ago. A brother Clarence Stills, Chicago banker, also survives. The first Mrs. Stills is living in New York.
 Stills was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, scvera southern California clubs, and a di, rector of the Motion Picture Acad. emy of Arts and Sciences.

The fog bell off Fort Adams sounded a constant warning off shore and the starting line, showed thick weather on the cup course.
