At 10:30 o'clock Monday morning I sent nil the details to the Daltic. It was tho whole story. The Baltic was coming toward the wreck at the time. "I was not in touch with the laud stations then.

Returns Indicate That Setting Probably Is Netninated Over Bourne, Though Ceunty District! I1 May Change Result. Wilson Carries State and Harry Lane is Democratic Nominee fer United States Senator. PORTLAND, Ore., April 20. Willi the count coming in slowly, returns available at noon' today indicated Colonel Roosevelt hod won tho repub lican presidential nomination in the Oregon primaries by n substantial plurality. As only sonttcrimr returns fro mthe country districts have been secured his lead ha.s not been defin itely ascertained, but is probably 5, 000 or C.000. La Folletto Wins PortlHBd. Senator Ln Folletto leads in th-j race in Multnomah county. Complete returns from 122 precincts ouf of 197 in Multnomah county give La Folletto 0302; Roosevelt 5536; Tnft 3888. Roosevelt is running strong in Aiv tricts outside Multnomah eoitntyiu'd will undoubtedly prove a winner. Governor WoQdrow Wilson .of New Jersey appears to have won tho dem ocratic presidential nomination, wiih Speaker Clark running second. In complete returns from Multnomah county give Wilson 510, Clark 282, Governor Ifnrmon of Ohio n poor third with 97, Clark is running stronger in the upstate districts. Outside the rncc for the republican presidential nomination tho greatest interest centered in the contest be tween Senator Bourne and Ben Selling for the republican senatorial nomina tion. First reports were that Bourne was hopelessly snowed under but lat er it became apparent that he was making a hard fight. Selling, how ever, is probably nominated. Bourne Has a Chance. At noon the vote in 121 out of 197 precincts iu Multnomah county stood : Bourne 7310, Selling 0119. Bourne probnbly will carry Multnomah coun ty by 2,000 votes. But in the districts outside Portland Selling was strong er. The vote from outside districts stood at noen: Bourne 4225, Selling 0503. Senator Bourne's support es assert he will be nominated by tho vote of tho back country counties, from which no reports have come. These counties elected him in 1907. Congressman Lafferty apparently is renominated for representative in congress from tho iirst district. Ho has u lead of 030 votes ovor Judge Gantenbein, his nearest rival. Olcott is nominated for secretary of state by a good majority over Field. AS TITANIC SANK NEW YORK, April 20.
