HUGHES MEN ARE COMING IN WITH STEADY STRENGTH Sunday Arrivals Give Much Support to the Judge's Supporters { Already on the Ground at Chicago ROOSEVELT BOOMERS BUSY Loeh, Johnson, Pinchot and Others Setting the Colonel's Camp Ready for Early Action. FULTON OF OREGON CALLS CRITIC BY VICTOR ROSEWATER. Convention Hall, Chicago, June 4 The steadying of the Hughes posi- incoming delegations, bringing first hand information, has tion with the been the feature of an otherwise un- exciting Sunday. It is plain that the first ballot showing for Hughes will not disclose his whole nitiial strength, | because quite a few uninstructed delegates, who are heart and soul for Hughes, have complimentary obliga- tions they want to discharge and the likely scattering than has been counted on Center to Rally On. The real advantage scored today comes through the arrival of gl\o out-and-out Hughes delegates giving a tangible rallying point. This is particularly true with respect to the Whitman end of the New York dele gation, headed by the governor him- self, who is ready to take a leading part in the organization of the Hughes forces. Of course, the other candidate’s quarters have also had occasions, and the activity has been quickened in the several Roosevelt camps. I saw William Loeb, jr., looking over the rooms engaged for the Roosevelt committee, and Gifford Pinchot and Governor Hiram Johnson and other distinguished bull moosers are here making themselves busy result is to indicate a wider I stopped a moment on the avenue | to talk with Oscar Straus and we were joined by Dean Lewis of Penn-| sylvania and Congressman Gardner of Massachusetts, who, at mention of the colonel’'s name, exclaimed “You'd better send for him away, the troops can’t make headway with their general off!” Whaether that is the correct reason or not, it seems to déscribe the situ ation correctly viewed from that sidc ) of the field, By tomorrow night the delegates will be almost to a man on the ground and the curtain rung up for the pre- lude right any far Fulton Expresses Views. Former Senator Charles W. Fulton, who is a member of the Oregon dele- gation to the convention said “Criticism of the part taken by Frank Hitchcock in reference to the movement for the nomination for Jus- tice Hughes, are entirely uncalled for and unjusitified. Mr. many other patriotie snen in other parts of the country, has been and is endeavoring to secure the nomination of a typecal American citizen of posi- tive type, whose standing and record commend him to the American people as a whole for the presidency . I'his movement is not confined to particular section of the country, ough the efforts of Mr. Hitchcock and others, has been crystalized and is NOW sufficient magnitude and cohesion to justify the conclusion that Justice Hughes will be nominated very early in the balloting. There is o jealously among the supporters of istice Hughes, and the majority of hem recognize that an attempt is ng made to pound Justice Hughes er the shoulders of Mr, Hitchcock.” BETHANY MAN INJURED AS CAR FLOPS TWICE d / ST.

Estimate of Losses. Revised British | losses as follows: British: Three battle cruisers (Queen Mary, Indefatigable and In- | vincible); three armored cruisers (De- reports give the |fence, Black Prince and Warrior); about a dozen destroyers and one submarine, Germany: Two battleships (West- falen and Pommern); two battle cruisers . unnamed); . four .. light cruisers (including the Wieshaden, Elbing and l‘:auenfah and a submarine. The British admiralty in addition has admitted that the battleship Marl- borough was struck by a torpedo, but declared she was towed safely into port. It denies the German claim that the dreadnaught Warspite was sunk, although conceding that she was dam- aged by gunfire. Germans Elated. The Germans are greatly elated at the outcome of the engagement in ‘\\'hich their main fleet under Admiral Scheer met the British, whose main | fleet, they assert, also was engaged. That the Germans held the field after the battle is shown, they declare, by the fact that the Germans picked up ); six destroyers | survivors of British warships that went down. | London officially denies that the |grand fleet was in the action. The | battle cruiser squadron which is re- | ported to have~rushed between the Germans and their base, seems to have | borne the brunt of the fight. Eleven British battleships eventually went into the battle, it is admitted, but of these several are declared to have been only partly engaged The British losses in officers were extremely heavy, the list including Rear Admiral Hood, who went down with his flagship the Invincible; Cap- tain Sowerby of the Indefatigable; Captain Cay of the Invincible, and Captain Prowse of the Queen Mary, The total British losses are estimated At about 5,000, MRS.
