California Result in Doubt

San Francisco. Aug. 27 P) - James .Rolph. Jr, San Francisco's S perennial mayor, was leading Cover nor C. C. Young and Buron F'itts, Los Angeles district attorney, in the race for the republican nomination for governor on the basis of returns early today from the California pri- mary election.
 In 2,028 complete precincts out of 10.2S3 in the state, Rolph had 93,- 1855; Young 62,781, and Pitts 20,642. This included but 203 of the 3,40l precincts of Los Angeles County. where Fitts was conceded to have an advantage.
 This total also included San Fran cisco's 1,155 precincts complete, which gave Rolph 73,66s; Young 39,17S, and Fitts 6,71S.
 A different picture was presented by incomplete returns. largely from the south, In 2,357 incomplete pre- cincts Fitts had 93,56S; Rolph 5s,- 5Ss and C. C. Young, 41,754. These incomplete returns were exclusive of the 2.028 complete precincts.
 The republican nomination is con- sidered tantanount to election with the exception of Hiram Johnson. no governor of California ever has been reelected.
 Rolph's comparative strength in the southern areas and Youngs ap- parent weakness there furnished the surprises in the early returns.
 Prohibition Not An Issue
 Prohibition did not attain the status of an issue in the governor ship campaign, although Rolph was conceded to have "liberaf' views in that respect. Both Young and Fitts received informal support from dry organizations
 The wet and dry issue came to the fore in the republican race for the

TOMORROW-1S-Inch Ears!

Fairfax penetrated the hull Of the PInthls about f 1-2 to feet; her cargo being liquid, the shell of the Plnthis would offer the only resist snce 10 the stem of the Fairfax, which has a displacement Of about 5000 tons; therefore, the Fairfax could not have been going over three miles per hour, otherwise sine would have penetrated the Pinthis to a much greater distance.
 UnskillfuIness Treated
 Charge No. 3, Unskillfulness : In which the master failed to make inc proper maneuver on sighting the Plnthts, The evidence adduced at the trial substantiated the entries in the log that on sighting fhe Pinthis crossing from starboard to port the master Of the Fairfax ordered helm hard aport, which directs vessels DO" to, staEboard, and reversed en- zine full speed astern. which while backing with a right-hand propeller. would naturally cut the ships stern 70 port, causing vessel to respond quicker to port helm. It is evident had the master executed any other maneuver than what he did. both vessels would have been sunk and possibly all lives lost.
 Charge No. 4, 'Neglgence': In that the master of the Fairfax fail ed 10 have an efficient and diligent search made for possible survivors "ho might he floating in the water:
 It is established by testimony that immediately after the fire on inc Fairfax was under control and that the services Of an officer and such members of the crew that wa, necessary 10 man properly a life poaf and make a thorough search could be dispensed with. No. motor lifeboat was lowered to the water with the third officer. ooatswain, and three A. B. sesmeu and patroled the location with spotlight for distance of two Or more miles from the anchored ship; this patrol being continued between three and four hours without locat- Ing any person in the water.
 No signal sounded
 This board is in possession of re- Iiaole information that the motor tank ship Pinthis has maximum speed of seven and one-half C 1-N knots per hour, loaded as she was at the time of collision. and that she passed the eastern terminal Of the Cape Cod Canal al 500 D. m, day- Ilgnt saving time, and was in col lsion at 7:05 p. m, standard time making a distance of twentv-three l25) knots in three hours and five minutes which was her maximum speed, the weather being such that nearing vas reported as very good. yet no passenger or member Of the Fairfax officers Or crew ever heard q whistle signal from the Pintbjs until after she was seen looming Tn in the fog.
 After examining thoroughly e4 witnesses, this board failed 10 estab- fish evidence substantiating any of the four charges; therefore, the ac- cused master of the S S. Fairfax. Archie T: Brooks, is acquitted of the and the case is closed.">

 Alderman John r. Maerz moved that the aldermen determine the ex- act cost to the city of damage claims in the past 10 years before acting on the proposal to carry insurance. Alderman Falk said he found the in- formation in the public works de- partments books and last year the cost was s3,250. He made the point that the sidewalks and highways about the city were in better condi- ton now than they were a decade ago, because many new develop ments have been opened with new pavements and walks and he felt that it would be well to make trial of the insurance plan for at lctrt q year if the city could obtain a satis- factory rate.
