"Miller on the first ballot" is the slo pa of the supporters of the former judge of the Court of Appeals, who MJns to have the designation for the Republican nomination for Governor ?thin his grasp. Nothing that sup? porters 0f the other candidates could ? during a day filled with conferences seemed to affect materially the drift toward Judge Miller. At a conference at the State Com? mittee headquarter? in the United States Hotel this morning it was de? rided to make designations for all fliccs to be filled, wich the under Ksnding that such action shall not prejudice '.lie rights or tne standing of ???"?y aspirant not designated. At a midnight conference in the oSce of ex-Senator Edgar Brackett, of this village, delegates of sixteen coun ? ???- refused to indorse Millefr. The conference went or: record *? favoring Senator Wadsworth for renomination. Tue Miller men declared that the aid purpose of the conference was for trading purposes. Among those at the Wnfeience wore Cornelius V. Collins, ?' Renssalaer; Philip Elting, of Uls? ter; John F. O'Brien, of Clinton; Cyrus Wrey, of Fulton, and James S. Parker, of Washington. Other counties rcpre lented were Montgomery, Warren, Es !?, Lewis, Otsego, Hamilton, Schoha rie, Sullivan, Greene, Washington and Franklin. Unite Against Miller Real opposition to Miller developed jhi? morning when former Governor Benjamin B. Odell and Fred Greiner, toa leader of the Erie County machine, combined their forces against him. f Former Governor Odell is working ?r Justice Arthur S.

Greiner is ?orKing in the interest of John Lord 0 Brian, of Buffalo. Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo, ?'?o a candidate, says that he has Mm 200 to 300 votes. State Senator George p. Thompson, of Niagara Coun? ty, is supported bv the Anti-Saloon ?ague and his own Senatorial dis ?rict, and Elon H. Hooker claims the ?eking of a limited number of dele? ctes. The Miller men made light of the opposition, howeviYi-, predicting that ;ne" the roll was called Judge Miller would have at least 700 of the .1,103 ?otes. Secretary of State Hugo said to-night W ? the convention turned him down j "e. would be a candidate in the Primaries and that nothing could dis? uade him from appealing to the peo Jc- senator Thomoson savs that he in !uW'" fieht U 0l,t w>th the others '" the primaries.

EHles, Republican Nation (C?isiiiiu?d on peg? 8) Secret Conferences Irritate Women Delegates at Saratoga Declare They Will Survive Steam Roller and Will Vote Democratic Ticket if Necessary to Defeat Senator Wadsworth From a Staff Correspondent SARATOGA SPRINGS. July 26.? The women at the convention are far from pleased at the way the Old Guard leaders are handling the situation. In the first place, they are against desig? nating, holding that the primary is the place in which to settle the claims of the numerous candidates for the various places on the ticket. Then, again, they are dissatisfied | with the refusal or trie platform mak? ers to incorporate a real welfare plank in the platform. And, more than all else, they do not approve of the secret conferences that are going on in the various rooms of the select few here, at which the program for the conven? tion is being prepared. Openly Hostile While a few of the women arc ac? cepting the situation with a smile, saying that they believe that two years from tuIv it will be better, the major? ity of them are openly 'hostile to the entire proceedings, and declare that they cannot accept the handiwork of R convention which will designate United States Senator James W. Wads worth jr. for the nomination. "I am against designating," said Miss Helen Varick Boswc.ll, associate chair? man of the New York County Republi? can Committee," but I am going to abide by the action of the convention. I may not like the crushing process of j the steam roller, but I shall survive it." Other women of equal prominence in ! the party declared they were so dis ! gusted that they would vote the Domo I cratic ticket if the convention desig ! nated Senator Wadsworth. In this they were seconded by an equally large number of prominent men. The six women delegates in the group of seventy-one from the counties of the southern tier declared there was not a Republican in their territory who would vote for Wadsworth, and the men in the delegation added that there was no exaggeration in the statement. Miss Mary Garrett Hay, former chairman of the women's committee of the Republican National Committee, who was one of the first to voice the protests of the women of the state against Wadsworth's candidacy because of his continued opposition to woman suffrage, arrived here to-day. Miss Hay, who is a delegate, will not make any fight on Wadsworth from the floor because, like a large number, of ? women and men delegates, she realizes that such a course would not accom? plish anything. Miss Hay Opposed Miss Hay, when asked about the at? titude of the Republican women to? ward the plan to designate a full ticket, said: "Speaking for myself, I am opposed to the scheme. I think it is an evasion of the clear intent of the law. We have a direct primary law. Why not stick to it while it is a law?" Other women from New York City and vicinity who arrived here to-day include Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, Mrs. John T. Pratt, Mrs. William Van Namee, Mrs. Cornelia S. Robinson, Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney and Mrs. John H. Grissel. Many of the women here are taking part in the active campaigning of the rival candidates. In fact, a woman's committee is a necessary adjunct this year of each candidate who is making a real campaign. Seek Husband As Slayer in Trunk Murder Detroit Policeman and Wife Identify the Victim as Mrs. E. LeRoy; Recog? nize Woman's Clothing Jealousy Seen as Motive j Former Suitor Declares Vic? tim Told Him She Was Preparing to Leave Home ? Solution of the mystery surrounding J the finding of the mutilated body of a j young woman in a trunk shipped to this ! city from Detroit, June 10, resolved it? self last night into a nation-wide search : for Eugene LeRoy, supposed husband 1 o? the victim. Tne be?ief of the authorities at Chi ; cago that Roy Millen, who had been i arrested there in connection with the case, must be the person sought, was I dispelled during the day, when Patrol? man Leo Trumbull, of the Detroit, police i torce, failed to identify him as Le Roy. | He was released. Positive identification of the dead j woman was established by Patrolman j Trumbull and his wife, who had been ! personally acquainted with the LeRoys, j and who recognized clothing found in ? the trunk with the body as having be? longed to Mrs. LeRoy. A sweater, which Mrs. Trumbull had once borrow? ed from the victim, was among the articles. The authorities are convinced that jealousy and revenge prompted the crime. This is the opinion, too, of Allen A. Tatum, the linotype operator, of Birmingham, Ala., whose names was ; written on the trunk containing the body, and was signed to a letter writ- | ten to an expressman here asking him to pick the trunk up. Tatum admits having met Mrs. LeRoy several months ago Tatum To Be Questioned Tatum has expressed his willingness to go to Detroit and tell all he knows about the murdered woman. Detectives have left the latter city for Birming? ham to accompany him. Robert Speed, assistant prosecuting attorney of Detroit, and Lieutenant of Detectives Edward Mitte, of the same city, arrived here yesterday to pick up local clews in the case and, if possi? ble, to have the body sent to the Mich? igan city for more complete identi? fication. ' It is possible, they said, that the Trumbulls will be asked to come here and look at it. In .addition to conferring with Cap? tain of Detectives Arthur Carey, in charge of the case here, the. Detroit men questioned Andrew J. Branic, the j expressman, who had \een asked to get the murder trunk, and who had received communications from "E, Le? Roy," "A. J. Fernandez" and "0. J. Woods," in which the handwriting was identical. As the result of the in? formation furnished by Branic, the Dc (Contlnued on pago 17) Oil Plant Seized By U.S.Destroyers Six Vessels Under Navy Orders Take Fuel After a Contest Over Prices j SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.--S?X j United States destroyers drew up at the loading plant of the Associated Oil Com? pany here to-day with orders to com? mandeer the plant and seize 600a000 gallons of fuel oil for their own use, following a contest over the price of fhe fuel between the navy and the com? pany.

No Compromise With Sinn Fein, Premier's Stand Lloyd George Tells Com? mons Government of Ire? land Bill Will Be Pressed After the Holiday Recess j Denies Any Pourparlers I Attempt to Burn Telephone Exchange and Shooting Mark Belfast Disorders LONDON, July 26.?The British gov? ernment has no intention of withdraw? ing the government of Ireland bill, Pre? mier Lloyd George stated in the House of Commons to-day. It would press the measure forward with all possible speed when the House reassembled after the holiday recess, he added. Reports that the government was opening negotiations with representa? tives of the Sinn F?in to reach a com? promise as to the future rule of Ire? land were set at rest in the House by the Premier. He was asked by Lord Robert Cecil aft to whether the govern? ment was opening negotiations or pour? parlers with any section of Ireland and answered in the negative. Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secre? tary for Ireland, declared in the House to-night that the troops and police had shown the sternest impartiality in Ire? land and that the presence of the troops and warships had saved Belfast from a possible massacre of thousands and north Ireland from a devastating civil war. The Secretary stated that 18 persons had been killed during the dis? turbances in Belfast and about 200 wounded. Two hundred arrests were made. Moving adjournment of the House for the purpose of calling attention to conditions in Belfast, Joseph Devlin, Nationalist, contended that the trouble ; .had nothing to do with the Sinn F?in j controversy, but was entirely due to | religioes hatred on the part of Prot- ! estant workers. He demanded pro? tection for the Catholic workers. Mr. Devlin and James Sexton, Labor- | ite, who supported him, both warned the government that it was driving the j Irish people to desperation. They ap? pealed to the government to withdraw ! the army of occupation, which they j declared was causing all the trouble. Cl?ture of the debate was adopted and Mr. Devlin's motion was defeated. BELFAST, July 26.?Another attempt was made this afternoon to burn the Belfast telephone exchange. Soldiers guarding the exchange extinguished the flames. It is unknown how the incen? diaries obtained admittance to the building. The police barracks at Tyrall's Pass, County Westmeath, was attacked last night by masked and armed men and burned. The raiders escaped. An attempt was macro yesterday to burn the little Methodist church at Crossmaglen, south of Armagh, in re? taliation, it is supposed, Tor occurrences in Belfast. The windows of the struc? ture were torn out and two of the doors \ were charred by the flames.

Draper ??'rom. The Tribune's European Bureau Copyright, 19?0, Now 'York Tr?mno Inc. LONDON, July 26.?Premier Lloyi George will go to Boulogne to-morrov for a one-day conference with Premie Millcrand over the Polish armistice. Th British feel everything is in shape for ; general peace, and that no time shoul be wasted over details of the conferenc of Baltic, and western European state with Lenlne in attendance, which may b held here in September. Officials close to the Premier o> press the opinion that an armistic will be arranged and that although th Bolsheviki will impose hard terms o the Poles, the Poles will submit. The story in the Paris press tht the Allies are negotiating with th Germans in the hope of making a alliance to wage war on the Bolshevil is branded as wholly untrue, the onl negotiations with the Germans bavin to <\o with the passage of Entent t roons to Poland. General Situation improves The general situation has decidedly improved over the weekend and the British are now prepared to resume dealings with the Bolshevik agents. Leonid Krassin, who went to Stockholm after waiting at Reval for transporta? tion to England, will probably come to London early in the future, along with M. Kamcneli. The British press credits Lloyd'George with having arranged the armistice. LONDON, July 26 (By The Associated Press). Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons to-day confirmed re? ports that, the Soviet government had sent the British government a note ac? cepting Great Britain's proposal for a peace conference in London between the Soviet and the. powers engaged in hostil? action against the Soviet, or supporting such action. Mr. Lloyd George said the Soviet also had suggested that representatives of the leading powers attend the con? ference. The Premier added that Great Britain was conferring with" her Allies on the subject. Mr. Lloyd George, replying to ques? tions concerning Russia, said: '"I am very hopeful of peace, and that is what the world wants." , He also said that since the Russian government had agreed to the Polish ! armistice Great Britain had withdrawn I her objections to the Soviet trade dele? gation proceeding to London. Sets Parley for July 30 A wireless message from Moscow to? day asks the Polish peace plenipotenti? aries to cross the lines along the Baranovitchi - Brest - Litovsk highway July 30, where they will be met. The. message, however, does not fix the ex? act location of the armistice meeting. The Associated Press learns, however, that the negotiators will meet at Baranovitchi, eighty-five miles south? west of Minsk. The armistice will be? gin the day of the meeting. The Lloyd George boundary line will hold in the north and the actual mili? tary line in the south, July ;J0, will be observed. The so-called Lloyd George boundary line of T'oland runs on almost a straight lino north and south from slightly went of Grodno, past Brest Litovsk to the Galician line. It is ap? proximately 115 miles east of Warsaw at its nearest point. Foch and Cabinet Consider Proposal By Ralph .Courtney Special (.'able, to The Tribune. Copyright, 1020, New York Tribune Inc.

A spirit of indignation appeared as j soon as Gustavus T. Kirby, president ! of the American Olympic committee, explained that the men would not be assigned to staterooms. A score of athletes gathered around Mr. Kirby and demanded an explana? tion. For a minute or two it. appeared that the all-Ameriean team would sail without the bulk of its championship material. Mr. Kirby had said that the team, with the exception of the women swim? mers; would be quartered below fleck in bunks constructed for troops. The I women, he explained, would be assigned I four to a stateroom. Coaches, officials | and army officers who are members of I the team would occupy staterooms. It was 2 o'clock, and the Princess 1 Matoika was to sail at 4. "Our athletes are going over under i conditions which are far from ideal, so ! far as conveniences are concerned," : Mr. Kirby said. "The quarters are not j exactly what we would like them to be, | but I am sure the athletes will be pa? tient under the serious emergency." Sample of Athletic Patience And straightway Mr. Kirby was treated to a sample of athletic patience. ChaMie Paddock, the Pacific Coast sprint marvel, was the first to address Mr. Kirby. Bank of Paddock were grouped a score of determined "strong men." "Do we get staterooms?" demanded Paddock. "You do not," said Mr. Kirby, "but you will be well taken care of." Twenty athletes shouted their disap? proval. "Where will we sleep?" they yelled. A score of questions were hurled at Mr. Kirby, who was inclined to wilt, but who was powerless to alter the plans at the last hour. "You will not be below the water line," he said finally, "and there will be lots of room." "Har, har!" shouted a group of the angry athletes. Joie Ray, of Chicago, was a .team member who made a vigorous protest. He argued that the men would not be in proper condition after a bumping voyage below deck. Paddock declared that unless he gota stateroom he wouid refuse to go aboard, but Mr. Kirby finally persuaded him to change this decision. Paddock boarded the ship. That coaches, army officers and of? ficials were getting the staterooms proved a sore spot for the rank and file who are expected to hold up the honors of America on the fields of Antwerp. The disgruntled spirit wouldn't down. Mr. Kirby maintained that the un? desirable conditions were unavoidable and were brought about principally by the failure to use the steamship North? ern Pacific for the trip. This ship was engaged, but it was found to be unsea worthy. "That being the case," Mr. Kirby said, "we accepted the government's offer of the Princess Matoika." Parade to Pier This ended the argument, and the athletes who had been cheered and "farewelled" by friends and relatives, started for Pier 74.

LONDON', July 26.- Archbishop Dan? iel J. Mannix of Melbourne, Australia, will not be permitted to land in Eng? land because of his recent utterances, Premier Lloyd George announced in the House of Commons to-day. ATLANTIC CITY, July 26. Arch? bishop Mannix, who arrived here to-day from Washington, commenting on the statement by Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons that he would not be permitted to land in England, said he would like to know "more defi? nitely just what the Premier said" before committing himself at length. "If he says I am not going," declared the Archbishop, "I am not going." Archbishop Mannix said it was his intention to sail on the Baltic on July 31. "She stops at Queenstown, Ireland, en route to Liverpool," he added. "I had intended to go to Ireland, later to England and then to Rome, but he (.Lloyd George) may be able to change my itinerary." Comments on Hughes's Statement Referring to a speech yesterday of Premier Hughes, of Australia, repudi? ating him, Archbishop Mannix said: "On two memorable occasions Hughes made the samo statement in Australia, and on both occasions the people of Australia demonstrated that they were with me and not with him. This was tested on one occasion at the plebiscite on conscription. Mr. Hughes then found himself discredited, while I was sup? ported. "Premier Hughes seems to think that I have stated in this country that Aus? tralia desires to separate from the British Empire. I have made no such [ Statement, but if Australia ever comes I to feel that separation from the em- ? ! pire can best serve her interests Mr. ; Hughes's opinion will count for very I 1 little." Supports De Valera Speaking at the Hotel Astor the > night of July 20, Archbishop Mannix , supported Eamon De Valera, president of "The Republic of Ireland," in his defense of the physical force policy j pursued by the Sinn F?iners against ! the British government in Ireland. "I have no sympathy with crime or disorder," he said, "but I believe that , I the resistance shown by the Irish peo- i pie to British tyranny in Ireland is well grounded in morality and justice. | Moreover, I believe in the truth of the wise saying that 'you cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.' " The Archbishop said he was proud j of the enemies he had made, declaring ! that these were "the enemies of jus- | tice, of humanity and Ireland." He paid a warm tribute to those who fell in the Irish rebellion last Easter. Archbishop Mannix was a speaker at the meeting at Madison Square Garden July 18. This meeting was converted j into a demonstration for Irish free- j dorn. The British government was de? nounced. When the Archbishop rose j to speak he was cheered seven min- i Utes. He said he was welcomed in the t United States by two republics?tha i United States and Ireland. He was ? introduced by Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes. The names of Lloyd George and President Wilson were hissed. De Valera was one of the speakers. Liberty Bond? Boupht?Sold?Quoted. John >?uir & Co., 81 Broadway.?AdTt I Lipton Will Challenge in 1922 L He Fails to Win the Cup Now Sir Thomas Lipton, aboard his steam yacht Victoria, yesterday ["announced that if he failed to win the America's Cup with Shamrock i IV iie would challenge again with a new Shamrock in 1922. "I will wait ten months to give some one else a chance,'' he said, "and then if no one else challenges I will do so, and the new challenger will be ready for races in 1922. Still, everybody will tell you that a four-leaf shamrock is lucky, and I believe Shamrock IV will win." The keen desire of the Irish baronet to win the cup was emphasized yesterday, when one of his English guests aboard said that Sir Thomas had left a clause in his will setting aside a fund to finance challengers until the cup was won for England. Sir Thomas, who heard the state? ment, did not deny it. Aeolus Blows Hard and Soft, But Fails to Get Right Mixture Ruler of Winds Refuses to Respond to Scratching of the Mast or Even to the Sacrifice of a Check for, Lo! $10,000 By HeywoorJ Broun Most of us amateur yacht reporters are beginning to wish we had j enlisted for one year instead of duration. ?Eolus, the wind god, can't seem to get the mixture right. One day he blows too hard, and the next too soft. Yesterday was a soft day. After something more than four hours neither Shamrock nor Resolute had completed the first leg, and the race was called off. Perhaps :t is spite rather than in-'' efficiency on the part of Aeolus. He , has a reputation for touchiness. When Odysseus was on his voyage he visited the god at his island near Sicily, and struck up such a friendship that .?Solus gave him a favorable wind for a sailing present, and a bag of bad winds labeled "Not to be opened until Christmas." Odysseus, or one of his followers, was over'inquisitive and opened the bag on Washington's Birthday, whereupon the ship was blown back to the folian Islands, ^olus, according to the legend, was annoyed. It is more than probable that he has lost his enthusiasm for yachts. At first he was favorably disposed, partic? ularly to Lipton's boat, for it is a mat? ter of record that he was fond of harps. Everybody knows how he tore the throat halyards of Resolute in the first race, and how he favored Shamrock in her second victory. ?Eelus Considers Spectators In order to give the spectators a run for their money he allowed the Ameri | can boat to even up the series, but last Saturday was fixed for the final tri ; umph of the craft which flies the .folian harp upon its pennant. The god looked over his scrapbook and turned loose exactly the same wind which he gave Odysseus. Then, to his chagrin and disgust, Shamrock joined Resolute in refusing to race. Even then >Eolus might not have whistled all his winds back to their kennels and allowed the yachts to drift for themselves if it had not been for the extraordinary conduct of the regatta committee yesterday. A brisk and pleasant ten-knot breeze was blowing at 12 o'cioclc, but the yachtsmen hoisted a signal for a lif:e?n minutes' postponement. They ex? plained that the direction of the wind was not suitable. If they laid out a windward-leeward course the first leg would carry the yachts right into the boardwalk at Long Beach. It was then that .4?olus threw up his hands and exclaimed: "Count me out of this!" "I'm a wind god," he said, "not a land? scape architect. I suppose they'd like to have me send out a sprinkling cart and a steam roller. How do they get that way? fThe translation from the original Greek is a little free here and there.?Ed.] I wonder if it'd satisfy them if I took a nice house broken wind out on a leash and trotted right behind the Corsair when it went out to mark the first buoy. No winds allowed at large! Good night!" Evidently he meant what he said, for immediately after the start all the winds hurried home and the yachts just drifted.

Two hundred disabled soldiers under? going treatment at the Home Sanato? rium here for tuberculosis contracted while in service are on strike to-day against the United States Public Health ; Service. I This action was taken upon receipt i here of an order from the New York I office, of the Health Service directing that all disabled men be transferred to service sanatoriums in other sections of the country. Out of 210 disabled men here 200 have voted to disregard the order. The former soldiers have formed an organization to combat the proposed move. Committees have been appoint- ' ed to work out some plan of reorgani zation of the Home Sanatorium that will be acceptable to authorities at ; Washington.

The deficit for the first four months in the Eastern District amounted to $ 5,728,967. The operating income for the Southern roads for the period totalled $29,710,366 and for the West era carriers $58,575,441. Father Kelley Injured In Auto Accident "Fighting Chaplain" Hurt in St. !

' Def endet* Outfoots Sham ) rock in Drifting Con? test Through Lazy Sea for Over Four Hours Four-Knot Breeze When Racers Stat t Challenger Crosses Line First but Is Passed by U.S. Boat Off Highlands Yacht Race Weather Light variable winds and fair weather off Sandy Hook to-day. ? By W. O. McGeehan The final race for the America's Cup, which was called off on Satur? day, because there was too much wind, was called off yesterday be? cause there was no wind at all. It will be decided to-day. In a drifting match on an oily, smooth sea, with scarcely the whisper of a breeze. Resolute and Shamrock glided languidly through the sheen of the lazy sun-lit sea for four hours and a half. Sometimes in a dead still calm they lay like twin replicas of Cole? ridge's painted ship upon a painted ocean. Or one might use the con? temptuous metaphor of the boat? swain's mate of the destroyer Semines, as he sunned himself on the forecastle head, "two big sea cooties crawling around on a pane of glass." Shamrock Crosses First Thero was less than a four-knot breeze when the racers started half an hour late. Sh-imrock crossed the line first and maintained her lead until sha glided into trie doldrums off the Jersey Highlands at 2 o'clock. Resolute came up and passed her while her spread of canvas flapped idly. Then the drifting began, and Resolute, which has out fcoted Shamrock against the wind and with it, demonstrated that she could outfoot the challenger in the matter of drifting. When the race was called for the day Resolute was hardly within five miles of tho mark, while Shamrock was two miles a?tern. Whatever breeze there might have been Captain Charles Francis Adams seemed to find and hold, and Resolute moved ahead with pain? ful sluggishness, but moved. (?ave the Wind a Chance The regatta committee was faced with a problem at the scheduled start? ing time. The course called for the beat to windward and return and the wind was coming off the Jersey shore? what there was of it. To carry out the conditions of the race the committee would have to shift either New Jersey or the wind. The shifting of New Jer? sey seemed to be too much of a prob? lem, and it was decided to wait and give the wind a chance to be obliging. Finally the sloops were sent off in a light northerly breeze and headed away to the familiar Jersey coast. The chal? lenger glided over the line at twenty nine seconds past the half hour and the Resolute followed just sixty-eight sec? onds later. The challenger maintained her lead until the breeze died sudden? ly, and as her huge sails started to flai Resolute came on and glided past her. Captain Charles Francis Adams clinging to the last to the gauzy skirts of the zephyrs The rest was watchful waiting of tha sort that was displayed when Sham rock won the race over the triangulai course. On that day, while Rcso lute was caught in the doldrums Shamrock, with her ridiculous "fiddler"? jib," caught the edge of a breeze and moved on, while the defender lay be calmed. Resolute Outluffs Shamrock But there was not a ripple on thai smooth sheen outside the Ambros? Channel yesterday. The smoke frorr the lolling steam vessels that loafec alongside the course pointed straight upward. Resolute moved in the light? est of zephyrs, while Shamrock seemee to fall behind, idle as the bits of drif' from all the world that washed aioni side. Technically, it was a luffing contes while it lasted, but the landsmen caugh it as a loafing contest and let it g< at that. The skipper of Resolut outluffed Shamrock, while Shamroel outloafed Resolute and the expert waxed lutter over the lost oppor tunity of Saturday, when there was ; real wind and lively water, condition! that would have made this last rac a real salt sea drama. The attendant fleet was much smalle yesterday. The fight for ?he America' Cup seems to have drifted into an ant climax as iar as the interest of th layman is concerned. The John ? Hyiaii bobbed out to display polite of licial interest. The lion Steamboat aiii the Fall River liner carrying a langui crowd of sightseers still followed, bu the little yachts were far less numerou than they have been any day sine the races began. May Not Finish To-day The drifting pace became so il tolerably slow that the steam vessel had to back time and again as th racers loafed off the Jersey coast. / 4 o'clock it became fairly certain th? there would be no race, but the drif ing contest was not called off until a: ter 5 o'clock. By that time the yacht had travelled about ten of the thirl miles, with the mark still hidden i the heat haze somewhere near the Co sair. wh'.ch loafed on the horizon. Before the start Shamrock twi< turned around the Victoria, where S Thomas Linton looked her over fro the bridge. A seaplane fluttered do* beside Sir Thomas's floating headqua ters and lay there, hardly"movine ? the languid sea. The little fleet or a tendant boats lay cluttered up UI toy boats in a pond. It did not lo< like a propitious start for the cltmi of the quest of the America'? mua. ?va* r?iMiojca WKViii?ff W4|AlAJBHMC
