called off today on account OF
the heavy fog and generally un-
favorable weather. It win be

test today. The visibility on the

little more than a mile.

It was generally admitted that
failure to race today postponed
the inevitable, that Sir Thomas
Lipton's fifth and last Shamrock
had no chance with the speedier
and far more ably handled Enter
prise.
However, Sir Thomas wished
neither the race nor the inevitable
postponed. A man whose disap.
pointment is effectually concealed
by his natural kindliness, the baro.
net intimated that he had hoped
against hope for a race today, and
only resigned himself to a post

ACTS
CHARGED To
NYE. GROUP
Attorney General CarIstrom,
of Illinois, Cites 4 Alleged
Errors in Mccormick Probe

CHICAGO, Sept. 16 d.NSo.
Operatives of the United States
Senate Committee investigating
campaign expenses have COM
mitted "acts contrary to law"
and interferred with personal
and private. rights" while at.
tempting to gather information
concerning Mrs. Ruth Hanna NC
Cormick.
This charge was made today in
a statement to the press by
Attorney General Oscar E. Carl
strom, Of Illinois. Appearing be
fore the committee, the attorney
general asked permission to read
his statement, Senator Gerald
P. Nye of North Dakota. chair
man, refused.
Four Charges Made
Carlstrom then said he would
release his formal protest" to the
newspapers. To this the Senator
replied: THAT Is your privilege.
Carlstrom's charges against the
committee employees include wire
tapping, illegal service of sub
poenas, compulsion Of testimony
under conditions not provided for
in the Senate resolution creating
the Nye committee and the hold
ing of witnesses as prisoners.
The Attorney General said he
would produce witnesses to sub
stantiate his claims. He asserted
this action was taken because he
was a friend of Mrs. Mccormick.
a Republican leader interested in
her Senatorial candidacy, and at
torney general of Illinois.
Mrs. Mccormick appeared at
both sessions of the Senate COM
mittee here yesterday to explode
a bomb" but she was not given
a chance to testify. Her state
ment was to be presented today
when regular sessions are re-
sumed with Senator Nye, Senator
Dill of Washington, and Senator
Roscoe Patterson Of Missouri in
attendance.
That Senator Nye deliberately
adjourned yesterdays session Of
the Senate Committee to prevent
her from making the wire tap
ping" charge was one contention
made by Mrs. Mccormick. The
statement read:
Text of Statement
81 am prepared Immediately
at the first opportunity given
to me by Chairman Nye Of the
Senate Investigating Committee
to prove that the committees
employees have been guilty Of
the crime of wire tapping. /
made this charge September /,
and I not only repeat it now,
but will say that had / not
been prevented at tOday's ses-
sion of the committee l would
have offered witnesses ready to
produce complete proof that the
employees in the service Of the
committee had hired others to
tap wires and had themselves
participated in the tapping.
Chairman Nye has repeated
" denied that his employees had
been guilty Of any such praC-
tices. Senator Dale at the last
Chicago hearing of the COM
mittee, said that IL the commit
tee agents had been guilty Of
tapping it would be q reprOach
upon the entire personnel Of the
the committee. I say that IL
Senator Nye has had knowledge
Of wire tapping by his employees
he is unfit to be q Senator and
