Senator,Hiram Johnson of Califor- nia is off in the lead of the pack of eandidates for the Republican nom- ination for President, with the end of the fight for instructed delegates only five days away. The most prom- inent candidates and the number of delegates instructed for them are: Johnson, 111; Wood, 105; Lowden, 67; Harding, 44; Coolidge, 29: , The old-time Republican leaders of the East are still back on their heels, staggering from the blow Johnson Janded in the New Jersey primaries. ‘The managers of Gen. Wood are suf- fering from the after effects of an attack of prophecy which seized them en Monday, when they claimed that the Massachusetts primaries would yield them 10 delegates pledged to Jersey primaries would’add from 20 to 22 delegates to the Wood ranks.

Almost every one of importance in | the Social Register who was in the city to-day attended the wedding of Miss Rachel Littleton and Cornelius Vanderbilt jr. at St. Thomas's Church this afternoon, very seat in ‘the edifice was occupied, as thousands of invitations to the ceremony had been sent out. Many hundreds who had not.‘béen invited save by their curiosity attended .as much of {the ceremony as they coukt from the | sidewalk and a few were rawarded by a glimpse of the bride when ghe arrived. ‘The police discouraged crowding as much ag possible,"but a Vanderbilt wedding doesn't occur every day, 80 the crowd was insistent upon keeping it place. As early as noon this crowd had ‘eguif to gather and, in some way about 300 uninvited guests managed to get into the gallery of the church. A detachment of yergers drove them out. After that the doors of the church were locked until it was time for the bridal parties to arrive, The wedding ceremony was con- WAR CLAIMS BILL Hylan Asks Smith for Heating | on the. Walker Measure: | Railroaded at Albany. Mayor Hylan said to-day that he has asked Gov. Smith to grant New York City a public hearing on the Walker Senate bill which would give subway contractors the right to mulet the city of at least $16,000,000! over and above their regularly agreed | contract agreements. The $15,000,000 j Would be collected under the camou- flage of “war contract” claims, Last year the contractors endeavored to | pass a similar measure but- were blocked by The Evening World, which laid bare the scheme in Albany at the last moment. When wages went’ up at the begin- ning of tha war and there was an ad- vance in the cost of materials, subway contractors who’ had been making large profits during peace imes ap- pealed to the city to foot their bills, ‘They did not think they should be held to thelr contracts as are parties in private agreements, but contended that the taxpayers ought to assume all the financial risks of the war. After ‘hearing arguments of the contractors the Board of Estimate refused to make good the exorbitant claims set forth. AS a result several contractors are now suing the city. Senator Walker, Democratic leader of the Senate, is father of the bill. This measure escaped the usual pub- licity in Atbany that a contractors’ bill is subjeated to. It was The Eve- ning World that discovered and laid bare, a week ago, the plan involving AEP peo: KntheastiAlvlind itin bw Oe ce ony BUS SERVICE IN STATEN ISLAND ATTACKED BY NIXON Called Inadequate ‘at Strike Hearing—Added Jitneys Get Public to Work. The hearing called by Public Serv- ice Commissioner Nixon this morn- ing to investigate th trotley strike which has tied up Staten Island, de- veloped into an impeachment of Mayor Hyian's bus service, but so far | has done little to deal ‘gs the ques. tion of settling the strike, Among the Witnesses called was Louls B. Tribus, consulting engineer of Staten Island, who testified that ae had called upon the Board of Estimate with other members of the Citizens’ Committee, seeking the Board’s aid in getting adjustment of the fares for the Richmond Light and Railroad Company, being convinced that the Company cowld not operate at five cents. He said he told the Board that the people of Staten Island were will- | ing to pay a stven ovat fare, but that Mayor Hylan had toki him not to worry, that the city would “take care of the people with a bus service.” Assistant Corporation Counsel Don- nelly and Attorney Terrance B, Far- ley for the commission clashed at thie point, whereupon Commissioner Nixon intervened with: “L want to sy right here and now that the bus service on Staten Island is inadequate, It is an experiment of the kind which should not be carried out. Never before has there been such a disgraceful situation in this city as this experiment of bus lines competing with trolley companies.” When Assistant Corporation Counsel Donnelly asked an adjournment ‘until to-morrow Commissioner Nixon said: “I've never had a real understanding with the city officials on any subject, and this is one case in’ which we ' didn’t.
