New York, Aug. 27.—From Colonel Roosevelt down progressive leaders the state over are in deadly fear that ‘William Sulzer will steal the Bull Moose primaries. So critical has the situation become that William Ham- lin Childs, chairman of the progres- sive steering committee, deferred his trip to Utica ‘several hours yesterday to confer with the Colonel at national progressive headquarters. Mr. Childs would not talk about candidates; neither would Mr. Roose- velt. Asked point blank if he would support Sulzer at the primaries, the Colonel hesitated a moment, and then replied: “I have made my effort, and as things are now I will not interfere with the primaries in any way. 1 have no doubt that the progressive party will ‘act with entire wisdom in nam- ing their ticket.” Sulzer is Confident. Sulzer himself spent three hours with Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay on Tuesday afternoon. The ex-Gover- nor, who daclares he is the only simon-pure progressive in the race, as well as a simon-pure prohibition- ist said that he would win in the pro- Eressivce primaries and that no one else had a chance. He informed the Colonel that he would carry at least fifty counties in the state and then asked Mr. Roosevelt to back him. The Colonel, it is understood, told Sulzer he would play an impartial part in the primaries. Sulzer then, it is said, asked if he could depend on sup- port in case he won. The Colonel's reply is said to have been evasive, and friends say he will not tour the state for Sulzer in the event that the deposed Governor does ' that which the leaders pray he won't do—steal thé progressive primaries. A Assumes Neutral Stand. Colonel Roosevelt’s answer to Sul- zer was taken by many to mean that, having indorsed Harvey D. Hinman, the Broome County ‘republican, and then having withdrawn his indorse- ment at the request of the commit- tee of twenty-one, he had washed his hands of the affair. Progressive leaders, who = regard Sulzer as anything but a martyr, real- ize that, should the ex-Governor win in the progressive primaries, the poli- tical joke of the century would be perpetratc . and they would be the laughi ck of all other parties. To prevent any such thing happen- ing will be the chief subject of the conference of the progressive leaders who will meet in Utica today, rather than the selection of a state ticket. They know from the number of let- ters pouring into headquarters that there 18 & good+deal™of Sulzer senti- ment among' the rahk and file of the party, now that the committee of twenty-one has cast Hinman aside. How to overcome this before primary day is their chief problem. Several Other Candidates. The other candidates for Gover- now in the progressive ranks are Chauncy J. Hamlin, of Buffalo; Fred- erick . M. Davenport, of Clinton, and Willlam H. Hotchkiss, of New York. The last named is an unwilling can- didate and has told progressive lead- ers he does not want the place. Colonel Roosevelt, it was reported yesterday, has switched from Hotch- kiss to' Davenport. Some of the lead- ers are . against Davenport, ‘it was said. and prefer Hamlin. Refuses to Answer. “Do you favor Mr. Davenport?” Colonél Roosevelt was asked. iy .Wl]l not answer any questions about candidates,” replied the Colonel. “Have you heard that there may be considerable opposition to Mr. Davenport ? “I haven’t heard of any.” Hugh Gordon Miller and “Suspen- der Jack” McGee were callers on the Colonel yesterday. Mr. Miller, before going in to see the Colonel, gave out a typewritten statement to the news- Paper men saying he was instructed by his district, the 19th, to go to Utica and demand that Colonel Roose- velt be selected Governor, .and that it was the Colonel’s duty as a “good soldier” to run. Miller finally got in to the Colonel and came out a moment later, his face blanched. “Did you tell the Colonel he must run?” he was asked. “Yes,” sald Miller, “but he said he wouldn’t and that if nominated he would decline.” ROOSEVELT REMAINS AWAY, Ool.

MANN - CRITICISES DEMOCRATIC REGIME For Delay in Pu.ting Ship Registry Bill into Effect ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—Reading a telegram of complaint from President Farrell of the United States Steel Corporation, Representative Mann criticised the administration yesterday for not issuing a proclamation putting into effect the ship. registry bill passed several days ago as an emer- gency measure. = Mr. Farrell wired the minority leader that his company, had a number of ships ready to take cargoes as soon as the president puts into effect the law liberalizing the registry laws. “I do not know when the registry bill was signed by the president,” said Mr. Mann, “but I assume it was sent to him at least a week ago. We have varjous other emergency matters that are likely to be presented and urged on the ground that we must act imme- diately because of a great emergency. Although the ship registry bill was passed more than a week ago the regulations under which it is to be administered have not been issued by the president. Apparently the depart- ment that deals with ‘these great emergencies forget the emergency as soon as congress has acted. “We recently appropriatéd $2,750,- 000 to bring home American citizéns who are abroad. I have no disposition to criticise, but I wonder why we cannot get in motion the machinery so as actually to take care of these people.” Ships‘and Cargoes Waiting. In his telegram asserting that the delay of the ship registry proclama- tion is causing inconvenience and ex- pense to ship owners, the United States Steel Corporation official wired Mr. Mann as follows: “Our steamer Banter, loaded for Uruguay and Argentina, and steamer Crofton Hall, loaded for Chile and Peru, in New York harbor, ready to sail; steamer Kentra, ready for grain or cotton, Atlantic coast or gulf; steamer Santa Rosalia, Puget Sound, ready for wheat; steamers San Fran- cisco, Buena Ventura, Ikaria, Ine dustry, Matopho and several others available for transporting American products, and we are patiently await- ing issuance of proclamation in order to be in an inteligent position as to whether we can put these steamers under American flag. immediately and operate them competitively with steamers in oversea trade under other flags. As our steamers are being held in various ports at very heavy expense would appreciate advices as to about when information will be available to enable us to determine what to do. Captain Dollar and other American owners of ships now under foreign flags are in same position. “The provisions of law prescrib- ing that the watch officers of vessels the Tnited States shall be citizens of the United States should be suspended for a period of at least three years, and the provisions of law requiring survey, inspection and mea- surement by officers of the United States should also be suspended for the same period. Further, until the war risk insurance bill has passed the house and becomes effective we would be without insurance in the event of a transfer.” President Framing Regulations, President Wilson yesterday began consideration of regulations to be issued under the new shipping law for the registry of foreign built ships un- der the American flag, Assistant Sec- retary of Commerce Sweet has made recommendations and a decision is expected within the next few days. If the president adopts the recom- mendations of Mr. Sweet he will not flatly set aside the provision of the navigation laws requiring masters and mates of ships admitted to American registry to be American citizens, but will set a time limit within which foreigners may serve in those capaci- ties. It is the idea of Mr. Sweet that foreign masters and mates should be encouraged to become American citi- zens. Shipping companies whose vessels now fly foreign flags are withholding formal applications under the new law until the president issues an ex- ecutive order as authorized by the act. a l || REFUGEES IN PERIL;- U.S. CONSUL PROTESTS Opposes ovslcmwmni fSmal Steamers With Tourists. - Rotterdam, via London, Aug. 27.— (9:45 p. m.).—The steamship Rot- | terdam, which will sail for the United States on Saturday, will carry almost 3,000 passengers. The character of the accommodations is not known, as the company will not permit the passcngers to go aboard prior to sailing time. American Consul Protests. The American consul general at this port, Soren Listoe, has been en- deavoring to prevent the advertise- ing by small steamship concerns here of alleged steamship accomnio- dations for stranded ' Americans These concerns piusn to put as many as 250 passengers on a 4,000 ton vessel not built for passenger traf- fic. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the Ameri- can minister, has made representa- tion to the government on this score. There Has been no great in- flux of Americans in the last four days, blt it is believed that thou- sands will arrive from Germany as soon .as the Berlin relief bureau makes possible the cashing of drafts. Need More Steamers. Men familiar with the situation express the opinion tha: more steam- ers should be provided for the pur- pose of transporting these people The steamers should possess ade- quate accommodations and sail from Dutch ports direct. This probably would necessitate the chartering of special steamers. "y It is impossible here to obtain ac- curate figures as to the number of Americans still on the continent. A fair ‘estimate is thousht to be from 15,000 to 20,000, in addition to those -now at Rotterdam awaiting transportation. Americans who have reiched here on the regular trains ! from Germany saye the treatment they received -was excellent. DOG CAUSES ACCIDENT, New York Man and Son Injured When Auto Upsets at Greenwich, Greenwich, Aug. 27.—A dog run- ning across the street influenced Jacob Berman of New York to swerve his automobile today, and the result was that the machine was upset. Ber- man and his son, Jacob, Jr., were picked up unconscious, but later they were revived and physical examina- tion showed few bodily ‘hurts. A friends, who also was in the machine, ‘was bruised.

South Windsor, Conn., Aug. 27.— Three persons were killed late last night when an automobile plunged down a ten foot embankment on the highway to Springfleld, Mass. The dead, are: Allen Sisson of Baltimore, Harold Cool of Glens Falls, and James D. Orne of New York. It is said that the driver of the automobile was blinded by the dazzling headlight of a passing trolley car, which caused him to lose control of his machine, H. W. Mills, of Hartford, the owner of the machine, who was driving, was | racing | unhurt. The automobile, a model, was said to have been travel- ing at a high rate of speed. Accord- ing to Mr. Mills, a defective steerinyg gear was the primary cause of the ac- cident, In attempting to turn out sharply when the blaze of the trolley | headlight was seen, the machine swerved suddenly, struck a telegraph pole and the three victims were hurled down the embankment. The car con- tinued its way for twenty feet before it came to a stop. Within five minutes after the acci- dent a number of persons were on the scene. All three of the men were dead, death probably having been caused instantly. The three men who were killed re- cently came to Hartford to live and | were employed by an insurance com- pany. The party was on the way to Springfield when the accident curred. OFFICERS ELECTED BY STATE FIREMEN Delegates Witness Demonstration of Fire Apparatus With Tests.

The visit of Governor Boldwin to the session was quite unexpected. He responded to the invitation to speak by making allusions to striking events in the state’s history. Rev. Father M. J. Ryan of Green- wich, the newly elected chaplain, was introduced to the firemen shortly af- ter the session began and made a short address. Chief Plander of Rowayton reported that Charles Prince, a fireman who re- ceives relief through having been in- jured at a fire, has had a cancer de- ‘velop upon his chéek from a wound.

PLAN T0 RELIEVE FOREIGN EXCHANGE International Ea;;crs— Take Steps to Aid Siluation. New York, Aug. 27.—Additional steps looking to the relief of the for- eign exchange situation were taken by international bankers yesterday, but definite details were lacking. It is understood that the 3,000,000 of New York city obligations which fall due the first week of September will be met by the purchase of exchange in this market. Arrangements are under way also for the increased fa- cilities of shipments of grain and other commodities to Europe in larger volume. It is noteworthy in this connection that some banks have de- cided to issue long bills against fu- ture grain shipments. Most of the grain now going abroad is consigned to France, while England is taking small amounts of cotton. New Loan Prohibited. Apropos of the the cotton situation, southern banks were again active borrowing yesterday and aside from numerous renewals of loans which ma- ture between this and the end of the month many new loans were reported. In order to meet these fresh demands it is likely that local banks will have to increase their supplies of emer- gency currency. A review of the steel and iron in- dustry indicates that the leading mills are no less active than a month ago, some even more so, but the buying power is steadily running behind pro- duction. There has been some in- quiry from abroad, including Aus- tralia without much actual buying. Nevertheless, it i the prevailing opinion that exports must eventually assume large proportions because of the cutting off of the European sup- ply. To Curtail Service, ‘Announcement by the Pennsylvania raflroad “of its intention to further curtail its passenger service along the main system was attributed to foreign conditions. Other roads are said to be contemplating similar action. In various lines of industry and utility there are indications of reduced ac- tivity including the Montana copper region. Money shows a tendency to harden, some loans being made at as high us 9 ' per cent. Forelgn exchange has been visibly strengthened by the re- ported success of the German army. Demand sterling was quoted at 5.04 to 5.05, with cables at 5.05 1-2 to a point higher, while the little b P’ done in Paris cables was between and 4.95.
