His death creates a vacancy which
will be filled by appointment by the Gov

Governor may call a special election, or
the matter may go over until the regular
election In tho fall, when the successor
of Senator John W. KeVn will ako be
chosen by popular vote.
The belief prevails ainomr Indiana

the largest vote nnd former Kepresenta

It has been expected that New would
get the nomination to succecil Senator
Kern. Friends of Mr. Watson un
doubtedly will ask that he have the other
nomination, In view of the close race he
made for the nomination for the full
term. The matter may be settlf.1 by the
nomination of both Watson and New In
the Republican State convention. Some
authorltltw hold that another primary
election will have to be held for the short

Invalid Ttvo Vein,
Senator Shlvely had been an Invalid

Paiiih, Matvh 1 1. The correspondent
of Tut; Hi'N learned on high iiutlnnlty
to-day that the Investigation of the de
struction of tho Norwegian bark Slllus
In Havic Iloads has established that
the bark, aboard which were teveji
Amei leans, was unlt within two miles
of land, and therefore well within
French territorial water.
The loriespondent of TUB St)S lias
reason to believe that the Washington
Government will lake the view that
he Incident does not ume. within the
Htfope of the discussion between the
United Slates and Germany on the sub
ject of submarine warfare on the high
seas. It might be comiarcd with the
ciisc of an American citizen killed In
Paris by a bomb thrown from an aeio
plane. It Is lonslderert unnecessary to estab
lish hj" the work of divers that the
sinking was due to a torpedo because
the submarine was seen on the surfaco
hy many persons. There Is no pos
sibility of tlxed mine having been
near the ot where the slllus was sunk
as the current there Is too strong;
fuithermoie, the crew of the twrk saw
the track of an npproachlnc torpedo.
It Is considered remarkable that a
submarine should launch torpedoes In
su-'li shallow water altput thirty feet
deei .where It wan lim.slbte for n
submaruie to submerge. It Is believed
that this Is the first occasion on nhlcll
this has been done.

DeeMon Affecting Primary
Candidates for Big Four
Announced by Hugo.
KISSEI, SEEKS A PLACE
Republican State Chairman Frederick
C, Tanner was informed yesterday by
Secretary of State Hugo thai those who
are candidates at the primaries of April
4 for election as delegates at large to
the national conventions of the Demo
cratic, Republican and Progressive
Parties must draw for poltlon on the
ballots.
Tills decision Is of particular Interest
to Republicans because of the deter
mination of John Kissel of Rrooklyn to
enter the primary as a candidate for
delegate at large to the convention In
Chicago on June ". Mr. Kissel, an old
time politician, who managed to get Into
the State Senate In 1908 In spite of the
opposition of the late Timothy U Wood
ruff, then the Kings county leader, has
had some experience In making uphill
tights. At the primaries tast year he
polled lO.onii vot, as against 14,000 for
John McCrate, the successful candidate
for the Republican nomination for County
Register of Kings. His friend figure
that wltli a bit of luck on his side he
might manage to beat out one of the
men designated al the recent Republican
State convention for delegates at large
to the national convention.
The Republican State convention des
ignated as the big four United States
Senator Jiimes W. Wadsworth, Gov
Whitman, State Chairman Frederick C
Tanner and Senator Won It. ' llrown.
Senator Ilrown w.s designated only
after Gov. Whitman hail, successfully
fought the Intention of National Coin
mitteeman William Harms to have Will
iam Herri named. The contest In the
State convention over naming Mr. Ileril
was sn mnno.u'red by Mr. Barnes us
to bring home very forcibly to the people
of llrookl.ui the fact that the Governor
was set against a Brooklyn resident
The feeling there fcgr.lnst the Governor
be-.ime unite Intense utnl It Is In the
Pcrslsteiae of this resentment that
friends of the Governor see danger lo
caue of the decision of the Secretary
of State vestrrday.
The men whose i.am.s lire among the
Ill.t four on the ballot as candidates for
I delegates at large will have a decided
I u.ti' iiil.i.a ..var Iha mh.ra Tllwra I. !.
of fiie that the namr s of those
designated by the State convention will
appear tirst, In which e'int none of them
would have much to fear, but because of
the tendency of the a'tragc voter to
ni.uk his ballot In the .pilckest and e.isl
est mat. nr, th party leideis favorable
to those designated fear that one of th. m
may In dropped .n favor of Mr. Kissel,
should h. happc.i to get one of the first
four places on the billot.
It Is w.ll known thit not only was
Mr. Harries opp-s.-d to tin Governor, but

however, .'ind got his way. Titos, who

Iterrl are believed to be In a mood for

. are also hoping that the choice of posi
tion by lot will hlp along Mr. Kissel's

ft lends of the Governor that should the
primary vote for him fall far behind that
