Jutland. reports that persons living in Schleswig received word that the have relatives on board killed. Seydlitz were Germans t Credit. to Claim Gr wireless the s from a staff corres- pondent via Sayville—An authorita- tive account of the North Sea battle which was issued here today gives the first detailed picture of the progress of the great engagement hetween the Gérman high sea fleet and that of the British. Many details of the engagement are suppressed for stra- tegic reasons. The recital, however, meets clearly what characterized as the British attempt to explain de- feat by the statement that the Ger- | man sea forces in the action were much larger than those which the British were able to bring into pla This account declares explicitly that of Admiral Jellicoe's most power- tleships, including six of the modern Queen Elizabeth class, the entire British flying wing, composed of battle cruisers equal in every respect except armor protection to dreadnoughts, were engaged in all but the carly stages of the day battle The fleet thus assembled sur- passed in tonnage and weight of broadsides the German force en- gaged, was at least equally modern and was far speedier than the squad- | ron of German pre-dreadnoughts which, lumbering along at 18 or 19 knots, were soon left far to the rear by their swifter consorts, out of the main action. For obvious Berlin, June 5, Associated Pr: by is 2§ ful most and reasons the recital leaves untold tale of damages tafned hy German units and the losses in personnel It says nothing of the brilliancy in battle tactics displayed by Admirals Scheer and Hipper, the smoothness and precision with which the German ships maneuvered, and the deadly | sureness of the German marksman- ship, although it is an open secret that these three factors were largely responsible for the achievements of the Germans. Superiority of Weapons. It is shown that the Germans on this occasion, unlike t Doggerbank engagement, of cruis quadrons, were able to choose their distance and fight considerable portions of the battle at ranges of about 8 miles ranked as a moderate distance —at which the German eleven and twelve inch guns were virtually as Yffective in penetrating power the big mouthed 1 14's and 15’s with which the modern British giants are armed. Furthermore, the are f:\rI superior in rapidity fire Naval experts have intimated to Asso- | ciated Press that this was one of the most decisive factors in the ti- janic struggle. German battleships and battle cruisers were able to shower the British with a hail of shell which at a range of eight and some times even closer smashed and riddled British armor belts and wrought havoc to ships vitals. The ponderous British projectiles natural- Iy were no effective, but the Armstrong Whitworth monsters one punch to each two from the vicious Krugg 11-inch- ers.

Who saw their commander, with on leg shattered, fire his last gun hi ship sank, owe their lives to the brav- ery of Capt. O. C. Christiansen of the Dutch steamer Vidar and the devotion of Danish and Norwegian nurses who were on board the Danish ship. These women are believed to be the only | ones of their sex who saw anything of the naval battle. “We were coming from Copenhagen to London late Wednesday.” said one of the Norwegian women, “when we saw a Zeppelin hovering far above us, and then heard the booming of great guns. The next thing we saw was two blazing ships on the horizon and shortly afterwards we ran into piles of wreckage amid which we found | seven men clinging to with hundreds of bodies floating around. “In spite of the great danger from floating mines our captain brought his ship close to the buoy, and heard one of the men We are alive' Yes. they alive in the sea of dead.

London, June 5, 9:45 a. m.—The naval battle off the coast of Jutland claimed to have been a complete victory for the British by the naval expert of the Morning Post, who writes in this morning's issue: The salient fact is that the German fleet was completely outfought, lost heavily and was chased in disorder retreat into its ports. Admiral - Jellicose brought his forces to bear upon the enemy at time and place chosen by him. “The vanguard of was composed of the squadron supported four fast battleships vanguard followed ficet The German came formation and the Germans lost one, if not three, battle cruisers in the first part of the action which was fought between the two vanguards of the two fleet “Admiral is the British battle cruiser squadron of Behind this the main battle fleet adopted the fleet by a Beatty 1 after engaging apn ba cruisers, must | pave | the battle: turned away when the German fleet approached in order to the British battle fleet, which also was drawn near, to engage.

Their loss is, therefore, due to an accident. Clash of Many Fleets. now come to the moment the two main fleets joined battle. The action was fought in line, according to the accepted theory of tactics. As the two fleets approached the lines began to overlap. The first ships of each line probably concen- trated their fire on the leading ships of the other. One and perhaps two German battleships were sunk, but { no British, and therefore, British unnery was evidently superior. The speedy loss of one and perhaps two Pattleships dctermined the Germans to retreat. They turned about and stcamed pell mell into the haze, hedd- ing for their harbors and pursued by the British fleet.” Semi-Official German Amsterdam, battle allow e when Ve via London, June 5, :35 a. m.—The following semi-official account of the naval battle off Jut- land has been received from Berlin: “The German high fleet had pushed out into the North sea in the hope of engaging portions of the English fleet which had recently been repeatedly reported off the Norwegian south coast. At 3:15 in the after- noen, some seventy miles of Skagerak, some small cruis of the Callcope class were sighed. Our cruisers at once pursued the enemy, which fled northward at high speed. “At 5:20 our cruisers sighted two enemy columns to the west, consisting of six battle cruisers and great number of small cruisers. The enemy passed towards the south and our ships, approaching to 19 kilometres, opened very effective fire on southern southeastern courses. During the bat- tle two English battle cruisers and one destroyer were sunk. “After half an hour's fighting heavy enemy reinforcements, later observed to be five vessels of the Queen Eliz abeth class, Soon afterwards the German main force entered the fight and the enemy at once turned north. German Fleet At Top Speed. “The British commander, driving his ships at full speed, attempted to evade our extremely effective fire by taking an echelon formation. Our fleet followed at top speed the move- ments of the enemy. In the course of this period of the fighting one cruiser of the Achilles or Shannon class and two destroyers were sunk, while a number of other vessels suf- fered heavy damage. “The battle against superior forces lasted until darkn fell. Beside numerous light detachments at leas twenty-five British battle ships, si battle cruisers and four armored cruisers engaged sixteen German bat- tleships, five battle cruisers, older ships of the line and no armored 5 seas sers a six After dark night attack. eral cruisers our flotillas opened a During this attack sev- and torpedo boat en- gagements occurred, resulting in the destruction of one battle cruiser, one cruiser of the Achilles class, probably two small cruisers and at least ten destroyers. Six of the latter, includ- ing the new destroyer Leaders Tur- bulent and Tipperary, were destroyed by the leading vessel of our high seas fleet. The British squadron of older battleships which hurried up from the south did not arrive until Thursday morning, after the conclusion of the battle and returned without taking any part in the fighting or coming within sight of our main force.” Belicve Hindenbur; Edinburgh, Sunk, 5:09 a. arriving here from British destroyers which made a massed at- tack on a German battleship in the Jutland battle are convinced that they sent to the bottom the dreadnought Hindenburg, the pride of the German navy. These sailors that the Hinden- burg was struck successively by four torpedoes while the destroyers dashed in alongside of her hull, tearing her to pleces until the mighty ship reeled and sanlk. June 35, e Survivors say gave the following graphic account of “The ships of the Grand fleet went into action as if they were going into maneuvers. From ever yard arm the white ensign flew, the flag which is to the sailor as the tat- tered colors were in days of old to a hard pressed regiment. That it went hard with the battle cruisers is ap- parent, but' one ship cannot fight a dozen. They had fought a great fight a fight to be proud of, a fight which will live longer than many a victory. “We fought close into the fore and if anything is certain in the uncer- tainties of naval battle it is that we gave at least as good as we got. We passed along the line of German ships some miles away and let off broadside after broadside. The air was heavi with masses of smoke, black, vellow, green and every other color, which drifted slowly between the opposing lines, hiding sometimes friend and sometimes foe. German Aim Poor, “The enemy ships were firing very fast but watching the ships in front, one came to the conclusion that the shooting was decidedly erratic. Again and again salvos of shells fell far short of the mark, to be followed im- mediately by others which screamed past high in the ai “I watched the Iron Duke swinging through the seas letting off broadside after broadside, wicked tongues of flames leaping through clouds of smoke. The din of battle was stun- ning, stupendous, deafening, as hun- dreds of the heaviest guns in the world roared out at once. Great masses of water rose in the air like waterspouts, reaching as high as the masts as the salvos of German shelis fell short or lost. i con- | were sighted to the north. | | possible.

It makes no difference. It is war. “It was impossible to see what was happening among the ships of the foe. The smoke obscured everything so ef- fectually that one could only get a glimpse at intervals when a kindly | wind blew a lane through the pall. It | was apparent that the best ships of the enemy were engaged, but how many neither eye nor glass could make out. The number was certainly large. It was equally impossible to see what damage we were causing. Only the high command knew of the progress of the battle. That the damage in- flicted on the German ships was great does not admit of any doubt. At one time two vessels red with fire gleamed through the smoke. Lion Was Thought Lost. “Our own losses were known degree of exactness, but | that was uncertain, Thus at one time | it was thought that the Lion had been | lost, as she did not answer any call. | It transpired that her wireless had been destroyed. “With the dusk came the great op- portunity of the mosquito craft, and | both sides made use of it to the full. | It was in this way that one of the saddest of many sad incidents oceur- | red. A destroyer, true to its name, | dashed for a big enemy ship. She soon got into effective range and loosed her torpedoes with deadly effect on a German battleship. The ship went down and the destroyer raced for safety, the commander and officers standing on the bridge indulging mutual congratulations at their suc- cess. At that moment a shell hit the bridge and wiped out the entire group. “It was curious to note the effect of the fight on the sea. Calm at the be- ginning the water looked as if it were | under the influence of a gale, so great was the turmoil caused by the levi- thian ships plowing at terrific speed through the waves. The sea also seem- ed to be stiff with fish killed by the shells bursting in the water.” with some even PARTY PILOTS AT WITS END BECAUSE OF HUGHES BOOM (Continued From First Page.) cago, visiting various points of inter- est and becoming acquainted with other representatives from various parts of the country Chairman J. Henry Roraback called a special meeting of the necticut delegation for Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock, two hours be- fore the big convention assembles. At this meeting the delegates will devise plans for concerted action. Hughes Boom Grows. The movement for the nominaton of Justice Flughes today took on the aspects of a geniuine hoom. Arriving delegations brought evidences of sen- timent in favor of the jurist and men who have been identified with the Old Guard of the republican party declared that many delegates instruct- ed for others were ready to turn their votes to him after the first ballot. The lack of controlling leadership the men who have composed the Old Guard is emphasized on every hand. They express themselves as not favoring Justice Hughes for any reason of personality, but, because the delegates bringing first hand re- ports of sentiment from the states, believe he can be the harmonizer who can rehabilitate the party and bring the progressive strength. On every hand explanations are sought for the failure of expected sentiment for Col. Roosevelt to crystallize. A week ago those who opposed the nomination of Roosevelt were fearful of a stampede to him, but now it is said that is im- Many cannot understand what brought this change about. Roosevelt Wealk. has Con- by leaders after today declared that Col. Roosevelt's ultimate strength would not be more than 200 delegates at the outside and they believe the number would be nearer 150. It is asserted that the re- maining 750 or 800 delegates would not vote for him under any ecircum- | stances. It was pointed out that Celegations were selected known that Roosevelt would strong factor and probabiy a didate. Men were chosen who believed to be for harmony, Which leaders say is not synonymous With Foosevelt, and are Ttegarded there- fore, as not of the stampedable type. The great mass the delegates are uninstructed and are counted on ta vote for any man who can bring a majority of the progressives to the republican fold. Hughes to Remain I talk of demanding vention statement from Hughes as a candidate of nation has practically been doned. It was talked of last day it has been eliminated discussions. It is generally that the justice wil continue to pre- serve his ilence while he occupies a | place on the supreme court beiich, but if nominated he will immediately make a satisfactory statement of his position on national questions which will be an issue in the campaign scouraging proposals of a pre- romination statement from Justice Hushes, his supparters point out that far as his position on national issues is concerned, addresses made Pefore he went on the bench show Pim to be for preparedness and sound a party point of view on all of It is be- ing argued that lack of information 1egarding Mr. Hughes' declarations is wholly responsible for the charge that | he “‘mystery candidate.” | No Sanction From | wora s gone out from Whitman's quarters that it Republican a canvass when state it was be a can- were of Silent. pre-con- Justice his nomi- aban- night, but to- from the agreed 0 rom | | the more important issue: | | is a Hughes. Gavernor is futile in | to look forward to any spectacular cieventh hour move an the part of those who are demanding the jurist's nomination. Governor Whitman also made it clear that no one of the men fighting for the nomination of Justice Hughes has had direct word from him that their efforts have his ap- proval. In discussing the Hughes move- ment today, Governor Whitman said he believed it had attained propor- tions of a hoom and cannot be headed off. On every hand there seems to be sentiment to avoid making the nom- inee the campaign issue and to select some one on whom republicans and progressives can agree so the word will g0 out to the country that the party has been rchabilitated by the uniting of factions which split it four years ago. It is realized that of all the possibilities, Col. Roosevelt has the greatest personal following, but at the same time many voters would be alicnated for one or more of several reasons. oosevelt’s Strength Appreciated. All forces are careful not to express to Col. Roosevelt or to anything which would make it impes- hostility say sible for res to come back into the party. Tt is recognized that Col. Roosevelt can prevent the nom- ination of any one or two men who may be urged by rcpublican leaders, but that should he attempt to go fur- ther than this and, as some say “scratch the whole ticket,” the con- vention would be very likely to pro- ceed without giving further considera- tion to his views. The attitude of men taking .this po- sition summed up by their state- ments that they “want Col. Roosevelt's help. but mnot his dictation. = They are determined mnot to permit Col Roosevelt to name the ticket by a process of elimination One of the outstanding features of this convention is the absence of commanding leadership by the men { who compose the “Old Guard.” They are here and on the ground, but they seem to have no definite control of affai There is a conspicuous lack of what every convention has known “fixer progress: is as Penrose Is Silent, has spoken for the republican organization lent, his vote for Senator Senator Penrose, who always in the state, is ana while he probably will cas Knox is is generally understood he will do so in order not to disclose his real choice. Of all the favorite sons who will be presented to the convention none is estimated to have the strength to command a stampede. Victor Murdock of Kansas, chairman of the progressive national committee, who arrived today, declined to predict the probable action of the progres- sives. Perkins of New York, for the pro- George W recognized spokesman gressive party, issued a statement to- day reiterating that he was for harmony with the older party, but not for harmony at any price. He did not amplify this statement. F'rank H. Hitchcock, who is work- ing for the Hughes forces, issued a formal statement today after a con- ference with other leaders, declaring that the nomination of Hughes is inevitable. Mr. Hitchcock included in his statement an analysis of the strength of favorite son candidates to show the total strength of the com- bined favorite sons to be 345. The Hitchcock statement empha- sized that it will require 493 votes to nominate a candidate and that the combined instructed strength of the | favorite son candidates falls 148 | votes short of enough to nominate. E Labor Opposed to Hughes? Among those opposed to Justice | Hughes a report was circulated today disfavor of that he had gained the labor through the supreme court’s de- cision in the Danbury hatters case in January, 1915, which affirmed judg- ments against members of the hatters union at Danbury, Conn., awarded to a manufacturer under the anti-trust laws for a boycott. Executions were issued against the homes of the union men and until labor leaders through- out the country united to help them they were in danger of losing their property. Investigation of the report develop- ed that the decision of the court was unanimous, all the justices participat- ing, and was delivered by Justice Holmes. City IHems W. L. Hatch, as administrator of the estate of Patrick McGuire, has sold property at 198 Kelsey strect to Joe Siggen. Lester B.
