LAKE OR GOODWIN? Keen Fight in Primaries—OIld-Timers Backing Lake for Gubernatorial Nom- ination—Remainder of Ticket Decided Hartford, Conn., Sept. 12.—With the cpening of the republican state con- vention here tomorrow the last of the preliminaries to_the fall political cam- paign will have been completed. There ara two candidates in the field for-the gubernatorial nomination, former Lieu- tenant Governor Everett J. Lake of Hartford and present executive secre- tary to Governor Weeks, Charles A. Goodwin, also of this city The views of the candidates on state questions seem to be similar and the fight in the primaries has been a keen one. Lake hae received the backing of the old-timers, whereas Goodwin Seems to represent more the newer element springing up in the party. Both candidates ciaim enough votes to securz the nomination, but the pri- mary results indicate that the vote in the convention will be an exceedingly ciose one, with the result in doubt un- til the last. Ticket Agreed Upon Except for Gov- ernor. Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill will be the temporary chairman. Aside from the office of governor, the rest of the state tickot has been agreed upon. The democrats at their convention last week adopted a platform favoring a public utilities bill, and as both the republican candidates have expressed themselves as favorable to such a measure, it is expected that such a bill will _be drafted into the republican platform Delegates Arriving Monday Night. The delegates began to arrive tonight and crowd the lobbies of the hotels. Tomorrow will be given over to the speech of Temporary Chairman Hill and the county caucuses. and the nom- ination of the ticket will follow on Wednesday ADRIFT FIVE DAYS WITH ONLY TOBACCO TO EAT Fog Separated Sailors in Boat from Fishing Vessel.

Ten days ago the men left their boat between Brown's bank and la Hayre bank to fish, and carried with them a jug of water amd a plentiful supply of tobacco, when a heavy fog set in. Although the seas were calm for two days it hung on. while the men tried in vain to locate their schooner Then the seas became rough. The men solaced themselves with their pipes until the rolling waves put the fire out and wet their matches. Half crazed, they pulled this way and that, chewing the tobacco. On the fourth day the fog arose, fishing vessel was in sight close of the fifth day a sail was sight- ed and they were soon put aboard a fisherman, half dead whence they were later transferred to the Prince George. SAILORS REACH PORT EXHAUSTED FIGHTING FIRE Summon Havre Firemen to Drown Out Blaze in Hold of Steamship. Havre, France, Sept. —The French freight and passenger steame ship California, arrived from New York today with a fire that had been fought for twelve davs still burning briskly in her hold. The members of the crew were nearly exhausted and called upon the city firemen to finish the job of putting out the fire. The firemen proceeded to flood the craft and hope to save part of the cargo. The California had sixteen passen- gers, who were glad to get ashore un- harmed. She sailed from New York to Havre on August 27 with merchan- dise. On September 1 a puff of smoke rose from one of the hatchways and warned the master of trouble below. A hurried investigation uncovered a blaze that had been working its way into the cargo until it got a start that was too much for the crew. From the moment of discovery untii the Cal- ifornia drew into the harbor today her sailors had little rest. They were suc- cessful, however in keeping the flames below deck.

The = first indictment n detail charges all defendants with engaging| in a combination in restraint of inter- state trade in fresh meats. The second charges conspiracy. The third charges the defendants with monopolizing the tradz in fresh meat by unlawful means. Instructions by Judge Landis. That the purpose of the grand jury inquiry was the indictment of indivi vals rather than of packing corpora- tions was shown when Judgs Kenesaw AL Landls, who jmposed the $29,000,000 Standard Oil fine, instructed the in- Vvestigators. “It sometimes happens that a person about to violate the law takes a name er than his own,” said Judge l.an- dis in his charge to the jury. “John Jones, undertaking to counterfeit gold dollars, changes his name to John Smith, or the Metals Fabricating com- pany, and under that name does the thing forbidden by law If vour investigation discloses such a case, do mot indict a mere alias. but follow the trail wherever it may lead until you have found. identified and pointed out the real offenders.

On Jan. 20 he ordered a grand jury inquiry which on March 20 resulted in the indictment of the Na- tional Packing company and the subsi- diary concerns. Special Grand Jury Venire Ordered.

Washington, Sept. 12.—Statements that western banks were loaning mon- ey too freely for-luxuries, particularly utomobiles have led to the gathering of some statistics in Texas. The bankers there estimate the val- ue of all automohiles in the state at $45.000.000, which is more than one- half the combined capital of all the| state banks.
