I DUNN IS CONFIDENT > "I am not surprised at the favorable results cf the Republican primaries > as shown in the returns," said R. C. Dunn last evening. "It is what I con > fidently expected. I stand by the prediction I made, that I. would receive ■ enough votes in the counties outside of Ramsey and Hennepin, to nominate 1 me. I am sure of carrying both these counties, but will have enough dele y gates without both or either. With one or the other, or both, my nomina tion on the first balot will be clinched. I feel absolutely confident and serene >as to the result of the convention. My friends will insist upon and secure 1 fair dealing in the convention and they as well as I will abide by the de > cision." : . ; Conservative estimates, based upon actual information received by The Globe, and upon claims made by the Dunn and Collins managers, with the necessary deduction, indicate that Rob ert C. Dunn has a long lead over Col lins up to date and his nomination is practically assured. Frank M. Eddy, so far as the returns show, is out of the race altogether, and it is believed Dunn will be nominated on the first ballot. Extravagant claims were made by both sides last night, each claiming enough votes to elect their delegate on the first ballot. The Colline people, however, were unable to show the mes sages upon which they base their claims, while at the Dunn headquarters scores of messages, giving the result of Saturday's primaries throughout the state, were in evidence. Reliable advices received by The Globe from a number of counties claimed by Collins managers would in dicate that Dunn has carried those counties, and a tabulation of the coun ties actually heard from gives* Dunn a decided advantage over his opponent. It is also considered significant that a number of counties claimed by Col lins forces Saturday night were last night conceded to Dunn, although these losses were made up by claims In other directions, but which the Dunn managers regard as ridiculous. Martin's Strong Claims James A. Martin, manager of the Collins campaign, gave out a state ment last night in which he claimed Collins would have enough votes to in sure his nomination, even should Hen nepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties send Dunn delegations to the state con vention, but his table of figures showed that many counties known to have selected Dunn delegates were counted In the Collins column, and his bare claims that his candidate had won out in these counties was all he offered to offset the telegraphic reports received by The Globe and at the Dunn headquarters. A conservative estimate of the strength of the two candidates, based on the counties where primaries have already been held, shows that Dunn is ahead of Collins in the proportion of two to one, and should these figures prove to be correct, Dunn could lose more than half of the counties where caucuses are to be held today and still have enough votes in the convention to nominate him. FIVE ARE DROWNED Heavy Gale Causes Brooklyn Yacht to Capsize NEW YORK, June 26.—Five persons were drowned in the bay off Forty seventh street, Brooklyn, by the over turning of the 38-foot sloop yacht Elsie and Katie, in a heavy storm that swept over New York this afternoon. Eight other persons who were on the yacht at the time were rescued by members of the Second naval battalion, who put out in whaleboats from their armory, at the foot of Fifty-second street. Those drowned were Mrs. Kate Clarke, of Brooklyn, wife of Peter Clarke, the owner of the yacht, her two daughters, Lizzie, aged ten, and Louise, aged four; her two-year-old niece, Mamie Clarke, and Lizzie lason, six teen years old. The bodies of Mrs. Clarke and of Mamie Clarke have been recovered. Train Kills Two CLEVELAND, Ohio., June 26.— Christopher Frese, a former city coun cilman, and his wife Louisa, both over sixty years old, were struck by a Lake Sb£ii electric car this afternoon while crossing the tracks on the Clifton bou levard, and were killed. THE ST. PAUL GLOBE At Dunn headquarters yesterday George A. Flinn said positive informa tion had been received from enough counties to remove all doubt as to the result. Mr. Flinn said Dunn would be nominated on the first ballot. The Dunn people pointed out the fallacy of the Collins claims and produced reports from various counties to prove that Mr. Martin was claiming many coun ties for Collins that should be counted for Dunn. More Caucuses Today More than twenty counties will hold their caucuses today, and both Dunn and Collins are claiming their candi dates will win out in the greater num ber of them. Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties, with their 220 dele gates, are claimed by both sides, as is the case in many of the other counties. Of the counties to caucus today the Collins people concede that Dunn will carry Dakota, Isanti, Kanabec, Lyon, Murray, Sibley and Washington, which would be sufficient to nominate Dunn with the counties his managers claim he has already carried. At Dunn head.quarters ; however, the concessions made by the Collins people regarding the caucuses to be held to day are laughed at. Mr. Flinn said more than three-fourths of the dele gates to be chosen today would be for Dunn, and the claim is made that the Princeton man will carry Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties. Aitkin and Anoka counties art' placed in the doubtful column by the Collins managers, but are claimed pos itively at Dunn headquarters. In the latter county advices would indicate that Dunn has won out by a vote of more than two to one. Becker, Bel trami and Benton counties are claimed by both sides, and in the absence of more positive information cannot be placed in either the Dunn or Collins column. Collins claims Blue Earth county, but the Dunn people say this county will be divided by agreement, an understanding to this effect having been entered into some time ago. Brown county is claimed by Collins, but it being the home of L. G. Vogel, candidate for state treasurer, there is little doubt but that the delegation will be equally divided. The Collins people last night con ceded Carlton and Carver counties to Dunn, but claimed Cass and Chippewa. In Cass county there will be two con ventions and the delegation will go to the candidate controlling the state con vention, while in Chippewa the infor- Continued on Last Page DESMOINES COBBLER IS BRUTALLY MURDERED Aged Shoemaker Is Found Dead in His Own Shop DES MOINES, lowa, June 26.— Thomas Callahan was found dead to day upon the floor of his little cob bler's shop where he lived alone.

CHARLES F. MURPHY Tammany Leader and Anti-Parker Man Who Will Be Prominent at St. Louis. He Will Take a Strong Staff With Him to the Convention SECRETARY SHAW TO STORM MINNESOTA Treasury Department Official Will Tour Northwest on Spellbinding Mission Globe Special Washington Service, 1417 G Street WASHINGTON, D. C, June 26.— Secretary of Treasury Leslie M. Shaw will make two or three speeches in Minnesota during the coming cam paign, and he will be recognized there as elsewhere in the course of his stumping tours as the special repre sentative of the administration. Mr. Shaw will spend only a little time in the treasury department this summer, for he has already made spe cific plans to visit several states for the purpose of helping along the Re publican ticket. During his absence, however, the treasury deficit will not grow any more rapidly than it would if he were in Washington. Must Explain Deficit The condition of the treasury, indeed, is one of the things that must be ex p'ained during the campaign, and it is appropriate that Secretary Shaw should do the explaining. He has a plausible tongue, and where straight argument will not avail, Mr. Shaw can tell stories and poke fun at the Democratic party. Mr. Shaw likes campaigning, for he is a stump orator of the old-fashioned variety, who dearly loves to strip off his? coat and plunge into a long, hot summer campaign. The exact time of his visit to Minne sota has not been arranged, but it will be rather early in the campaign. The administration is well aware of the strong feeling on the subject of the tariff and reciprocity in the Norlhwest, an.l they know that some of the Demo cratic statesmen who are most pro gressive in their expression of views on the tariff are extremely popular in Min nesota. —Walter E. Clark. Washington Is Hot WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26—Ac cording to the weather bureau figures Washington was the hottest place in the United States today, the thermom eter reaching a maximum of 94 de grees. In Boston and New York also it was very hot, the official temperature in those cities being 92 degrees. PIG CAUSES INJURY South Dakota Farmer Badly Hurt In Peculiar Manner Special to The Globe SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 26.— E. A. Harstad, a prominent farmer living near Sioux Falls, narrowly escaped death as the result of a peculiar acci dent. One of his hogs got its head caught in a tin pail and efforts to release it were unsuccessful. Finally as a last lesort Harstad j procured a pair of heavy shears and had begun to cut the pail loose from the animal when the hog- made a sudden jump. The ragged edge of the tin pail caught Harstad's wrist, cutting the flesh to the bone. An artery was severed and the vic tim of the unusual accident came near bleeding to death before he could be brought to Sioux Falls for treatment. Three Men Drown Near Same Spot BUFFALO, N. V., June 26.—8y the capsizing of his canoe Frederick J. Mil ler, of Truscott & Miller, grain mer chants, was today drowned in Park lake while thousands were nearby listening to a band concert. About half a mile west of that place Joseph Good today also met his death by drowning, while another man, a laborer, had a similar fate and the body of a fisherman was cast ashore.

NOTABLE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS SAYS PARKER WILL WIN ON THE SECOND Senator McCarren & Pred!cts the Nomination of the New York Jurist Special to The Globe NEW YORK, June 26.—"Judge Par ker will poll on the first ballot more than half the votes of the convention. On the second ballot he will be nomi nated." With but one more state to act, Mis souri and its action a foregone conclu sion, this was the claim made tonight by Senator McCarren. In general review of the situation, as it appears to the Parker men. the sen ator said: "We believe that the convention will show some surprises in the strength Parker will develop, for his list of dele gates is stronger than any of the pub lished tables that hay* yet appeared.
