When the steam- ) heeded the calls of distress Well- 1 shouted his predicament through a megaphone and decided that he would lower his lifeboat which swung from the dirigible. As a precaution the Trant lowered her lifeboats, which s100d by until the transfer was effect- ed, and Wellman and his companions, even down to the frightened kitten, were safe on board the liner, surround- ed by excited passengers.

HARMONY IN SIGHT FOR BAY STATE DEMOCRATS. Deadlock Broken by Formal With- drawal of Charles Hamlin as Claim- ant for the Gubernatorial Nomination Boston, Oct. 18.—But one man stands between the democrats of Massachu- setts and harmony after twelve days of bitter controversy over a state ticket for the November election. If that man, Frederick W. Mansfield, of Bos- ton, carries:out the alleged agreement made in the last minutes of the famous Faneuil Hall convention and. with- draws his name as candidate for gov- ernor before 5°p. m. on Thursday, the state ticket will be as follows: Governor—Eugene N. Foss of Boston. Lieutenant Governor—Thomas F. Cassidy of North Adams. Secretary of State—Charles J. Mar- tell of Boston. Treasurer—Benjamin Lynn, Auditor—Charles C. Paine of Barn- stable. Attorney General—John Ratigan of ‘Worcester. ‘The deadlock was broken today by the formal withdrawal of Charles S. Hamlin as a claimant for the guber- natorial nomination, and within a few hours the committee of four appointed by the convention had voted unani- mously in favor of Mr. Foss. The sit- uation was further cleared when the Foss representatives on the committee, F. J. McLeod and Joseph A. Aaynard, persuaded Thomas P. Riley of Malden, who had filed papers for nomination for lieutemant governor as a demo- cratic citizen, to follow Mr. Hamlin and withdraw in favor of Mr. Cassidy. Mr. Cassidy’s name, ‘however, must appear on the ballot as a democratic independent candidate for lieutenant governor, as the secratary of state has decided that as the convention failed to make any nomination for that office no_committee has the power to fill a vacancy. g Mr. Mansfield is an ardent labor ad- vocate and one of the attorneys for the state federation. He fought Mr. Foss cn the primary stump and has repeat- edly declared since the convention' that | he would not withdraw in favor of Mr. Foss. The law gives Mr. Mansfield until Thursday night to withdraw. and the committee until next Monday night to_fill the vacancr. Early tonight ~Mr. . Mansfiald had made 6 effort to withdraw his nama. In fact, ‘his whereabouts during - the past three days was a matter of con- jecture .among the party leaders. The state committee, however, will enter at onca upon the campaign. and it 1s expected that Mr. Foss will ap- pear nightly on the stump, with de- nunciation of the republican admini: tration of state affairs as the battle- cry. Boston, Oct. 18.—Frederick W. Mans- fleld was found at a downtown hotel tonight by maembers of the committee of four, who endeavored to have him make some statement as to what stand he intended to. take. Mr. Mansfield refused to commit himself and told the | committee that he wished to wait un- til tomorrow bafore making a definite answer. After the conference with Mr. Mansfleld the committeemen seemed hopeful that he would withdraw in recognition of the unanimous vete of the committez naming Foss for gov- ernor. F.
