Columbus, Ohio, July 21. Repub
lican national leaders meeting 'to-day
In Columbus to mako final plans for
the campaign preparatory to (joins to
Marlon to-morrow for the notification
of Senator Harding Immediately ac
cepted tho challenge of Gov. Cox for
the fullest publicity in campaign ex
penditures. That Is precisely what
the Republicans want
"We will give Gov. Cox all tho pub
licity ho desires before tho campaign
Is over," declared Senator odgo
(Mass.). "I hope tho committee In
vestigating campaign expenditures
will remain In session continuously.
By this time it must bo getting along
very well with Attorney-General Pal-,
mer. You can't heat a pot on one
side."
All the Republicans and they came
to Ohio to-day almost In droves, forc
ing from the centre of tho stage the
Democrats, who held It yesterday with
a session of tho Democratic National
Committee expressed the Bame opin
ion. The .fullest publicity, Including
dally or weekly reports of the money
spent, is tho Republican proposal.
"The financial plan of the Republican
pjrty was, announced a year ago last
Mir." said Chairman, Will II. Hays after
a long conierence 01 me executive cum-
mlttee perfecting final plans for thej
campalrt. "It Is In process of develop-1
merit and will not bo changed. It Is aim- j
pi that our money will be raised by,
methods of decentralized giving, so that ,
there will be small gifts from thousands
of the public. No gift Is to be accepted
of more than (1,000.

"It Is an open book. Tho more that Is
known about It, the better from every
standpoint We are running It llko a
Red Cross campaign."
Aside from the question of party
finances, both Republican and Demo
cratic, these wero the outstanding de
elopments In both busy campaign
camps :
The executive committee of the Re
publican Natbnal Committee adopted
a nsolut.on calling upon the Republi
can members of tho Tennessee Legisla
ture to vote for ratification of the
oman suffrage amendment to the Con
stitution so that women may vote In the
coming elections.
There is to be no change In the ,front
porch campalsn of Senator Harding at
Marlon, but there will be speecnes on
Rationally Important occasions at na
tionally Important places throughout the
country
The Republican party Intends to wage
a vigorous campaign In Maryland and
Tennessee, heretofore regarded as Demo
cratic "sure States," believing that the
States will go to Harding In November.
The new chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, George White, held
a long series of conferences with Gov.
Cox, E. H. Moore, Cox manager In the
pre-convcntlon campaign ; Wilbur Marsh,
treasurer of the committee, and others.
The Democratic speaking campaign
begin Immediately after the notifi
cation ceremonies on August 7 for Gov.
Cox and on August 9 for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and Gov. Cox will devote hlm
lf at first to the East and central
West, while Roosevelt goes to the Pa
cific slope.
Harding Plan Unchanged.
There will bo no change In the plan
of Senator Harding's speaking cam
paign," Mr. Hays said. "It la his wish,
nd It Is the unanimous opinion of the
committee that tho general plan of
campaign shall be built around the
'peeches at Marlon. However, It has
a ways been understood, and Is contem
plated that there may be speeches on
nationally important occasions at na
tionally Important places. The demands
w speeches by Senator Harding from
.I7. Stat ln the Union are so pressing
M insistent that It cannot, of course,
now be decided when or where such ad
e""s may be made."
Mr. Has explained further that In no
"rcumstancea would there be a "bam
iormlng" campaign such as tho Demo
lntcnd to make. Whenever
speeches are made In vnrious parts of

Infven will go to the Pacific

'London and Paris Imperialists

By the Aiiociated Prti.
London. July 1. -Tho refusal of
tho Russian Soviet Government to
cease war against Poland at tho be
hest of Great Britain Is contained In
a Moscow wireless despatch received
hero to-day. Tho refusal also consti
tutes an appeal to the workers and
peasants of Soviet Russia and tho
Ukraine. It is signed by Premier
Lenine, Minister of War Trotzky,
Foreign Minister Tchltchertn and
Commissioner of Justice Kurskl, and
says:
"Tho British Government addressed
n proposal to us July 11 to ceaso war
against Poland and begin peace nego
tiations with Poland and other bor
der States, 'promising that the Polish
troops. In case of an armistice being
concluded, would retreat to a fron
tier marked la3t year by tne Peace
Conference.
"In the same noto It waa proposed
that Gen. V.'rangei and his Crimean
shelter should not bo touched. To all
this we, the council of peoples' com
missaries, answered by refusal.
"If England had not desired war she
would havo stopped supplying Poland
with munitions and money. England is
carrying on negotiations with ua oa a
concession to her working masses. Lord
Curxon, 'the British ..Foreign. Secretary,
plac.es it upon the League of Nations,
In whoso name he. Is making the pro
posal, but Poland enters Into the com
position of this league Poland, who
commenced a robber war against us.
"All the members of the league, es
pecially France, England and America,
arc bound hand ln hand In this provoca
tory war of Poland against Russia and
the Ukraine.
Would Give Polea Iletler Term.
"Our refusal of hostile mediation does
not mean that we have altered our pot
The communication says the real
frontiers which the Soviet Government
will establish with representatives of
the Polish people will be cast of the
frontier marked out "by the Imperialists
In London and Paris," who "are equally
Inimical and hostile to the workers of
Poland and Russia."
"If the Polish people," the communica
tion declares, "desires to receive an
honest peace and an honest frontier,
and find ln the person of Russia a
brotherly neighbor, It Is necessary that
the Polish people Itself should seek it."
Premier Lloyd George In the Houso
of Commons to-day said the Soviet
answer was Incoherent, ambiguous and
propaganda largely Intended for home
consumption. So far as ho could un
derstand, however, the Soviet Indicated
Its willingness to negotiate direct with
Poland, and also wanted-to glvo Poland
better boundaries than those named by
the Allies. Mr. Lloyd George said there
were some phrases In the Soviet message
Indicating the Bolshevlkl only were pre
pared to discuss the matter with a pro
letariat government. He declared the
Soviet Government had no right to
dictate to Poland what sort of govern
ment the Poles should have.
Independent Poland Essential.
The Premier asserted that an Inde
pendent Poland was essential to tho
whole fabric of peace, and the Allies
were resolved that they must arrest
the destruction of Poland and the march
of Bolshevik armies through Polish ter
ritory. If the Bolshevlkl overran
Poland they would be up ogalnst the
German frontier, and Mr. Lloyd George
said this would furnish Germany a great
temptation with her millions of trained
men.
Reverting to tho Polish situation, tha
Premier said that England and France
would supply the necessary means to
organize and equip the 300.000 volun
teers Poland has just raised. He had
hoped to get Rumania and Czecho
slovakia also Into the conference, and
thereby attain real peace In Europe,
which was what was wanted to permit
the world to get to 1U business. How
ever, Tie did not desire to dictate, if
the Poles could negotiate directly with
the Soviet.

Driven back toward tho Rockaway
coast from her position over the
course of the International Cup race
when a valve In her huge envelope
sprang a leak yesterday, the United
States Navy blimp C-10 fell 3,000 feet
into Jamaica Bay and was wrecked
on the rocks off Barren Island, Her
officers and crew, as well as three
newspaper reporters who had been re
porting the progress of tho race from
tho gondola of tho airship, suffered a
thorough soaklrjg nothing more.
The accident waa witnessed by the
hundreds watching the yacht race
from destroyers and power boats to
the extent that they noticed her hur
ried departure from the course at 1:15
In the afternoon. But none except tho
radio operators on the vessels knew
thnt tho disappearance of the great
gas bag portended anything but the
discharge of her passengers ashore.
Before the C-10 fell Into the bay
iback of the Rockaway Naval Air Sta
tion everything movable on board had
been hurled overboard In an attempt
to lighten her. Radio sets and tho
heavy storage batteries that gave
them power were dumped from the
gondola at tho last, when-their use In

bTlmp when sjie "r7ck''t!ewajjr.j Th'5

Radio Story it Trouble.
Throughout the period during which
tho ship's commander, Lieut. Albert W.
Evans, and her pilot, Lieut. Louis A.
Kloor, Jr., were trying to keep her In
the air. the reporters were notifying
their offices of the accident. KlrK
Slmnscn. representative of tho
Asso

United Press scribbled brief accounts
of the misfortune the blimp had en
countered, and between official messages
handled for the officer the radio
operator sent them off.
The third correspondent, tiarom a.

As the big steam yacht drew abreast
of the American sloop Sir Thomas raised
his land and shouted;
"Three cheers for Resolute!"
They wero given with lusty will 'by
tho guests and crew on the Victoria.
Skipper Charles Francis Adams, the de

below and acknowledged the salute. He
and Sir Thomas waved to' each other in
true "hands acrosj the seas" fashion,
Before returning to his anchorage off
tho Atlantic Yacht Club landing at Sea
Gate Sir Thomas paid a visit to his
challenger to get a report from her
skipper, William P. Burton.

Scorea of congratulatory messages
were received on the Victoria to-day, and
they came from tho four corners of the

Harry Lauder wired from Cape Town,
South Africa:
"Congratulation .Drinking your

Sir Thomas did not hide his admira

representative on Shamrock, said both
yachts had sailed well and that it was
a wonderful race except for a fhiky
Mart. The only other dead heat In a

' Resolute, tho American defender of
the Cup. won her first race of the
series yesterday, and tho score now
stands Shamrock, 2; Resolute, 1. With
this victory tho hopes of American
yachtsmen were raised, and they think
they now have a fair chance of keep;
Ing the Cup here, although they stlfl
have a big handicap to overcome. The
race was sailed in a light to moderate
wind that held true throughout and
furnished ono of tho most exciting
contests ever witnessed between two
yachts.
Shamrock got away with a lead of
19 seconds. Resolute, on the wind
ward leg, the first, overhauled the
challenger, and at the turning mark
had gained 2 minutes 6 seconds. Then
spinnakers and balloons were set on
both ynchts for the run down wind.
Shamrock's big sail spread told well
on this leg and she slowly but steadily
overhauled the defender until she
took the lead about one mile from
! tho finish. Then the two yachts.
smothered ln canvas, made ono of tho
finest marine pictures ever seen.
Shamrock still further increased her
lead and finally finished 19 seconds
ahead of the Resolute. The two
yachts had sailed a dead heat, their
actual time being exactly tho some.
But Shamrock had to allow Resolute
7 minutes 1 second, and so she won
tho race by her alliance.
Wnitliig for n Wind.
-The outlook was not at nil encourag
ing when the yachts reached the Am
btose Channel Lightship and were ready
to start. There was scarcely any wind,
tho sea was as smooth as glass and a
haze screened nil objects more than a
mile away. Some weather sharps de
clared that there would be a nice breeze
later on but could not predict the time,
and so there was a wait, and waiting
lor wind Is tedious.
Both yachts wero again In the best
of condition. Resolute epread a perfect
fitting suit of satis made by Rafsey,
over which was net a Herreshoff club
topsail. Shamrock; too, had'Ratsey sails
and the mainsail was different from that
tu-ed in Tuesday's race. It was per
fectly flat on the leach and a good
draught Just where tt would do the most
good.
Shortly after noon a light air came
from the touth by west. At first It was
doubtful If It would last, but It did and
strengthened, and half urr hour later the
rare comtnltteo decided that It was of
sufficient strength for a race, and so
set the course signal. The course was
to windward and return and the turning
mark was placed fifteen miles south by
west from the Ambrose Channel Light
vessel, or about eight miles offshore
from Ocean Grove.
Hesolnte Gains' Advantage.
Tho committee's tug made tho line at
right angles to the wind, anchoring with
tho lightship bearing north by west, and
at 12:15 o'clock made the preparatory
signal. Resolute at that tlmo was to

NEXT RACE TO-MORROW.

Score or Cup Will Go to
Lipton's Yacht.
In one of the most spectacular yacht
races ever seen off the Hook tho
Resolutd scored yesterday her first
victory over Shamrock IV. In the con
test for the America's Cup.
For tho first tlmo In tho seventy
jcars of racing for tho trophy the
thirty mllo windward and leeward
battle ended In what, so far as con
cerned actual elapsed time, was a
dead heat between tho competing
yachts.
In other words, the Resolute won
by precisely the amount of her tlmo
nllowanco under the measurement
tuies, which was 7 minutes anJ 1
second, each craft having covered the
course in tho Identical elapsed time of
4 hours 3 minutes and 6 seconds.
That the finish did not quite afford tho
marvellous spectaclo of tho racers
running across the lino literally neck
and neck was due solely to the fact
thnt at tho start of the race Shamrock
had gone over the same lino nineteen
seconds ln advance ot her rival. At
the finish she crossed It with .exactly
the same slight lead, and that advan
tage was won In the last half mile.
Many spectators because of tho
angle of vision by which they beheld
ihla, memorable finish ,thought Reso-'
lute and Shamrock wero a6tualjyl sldo

the committee boat and the light ves

No Parallel In Cnp Ilaces.
Since the first rape for the America's
Cup was sailed ln 1851 thero has been
no parallel. The nearest approximate to
a dead heat occurred In one of tho 1901
contests between Columbia and Sham
rock II., when the American won by 41
seconds. Tho- Irish yacht on that oc
casion actually had finished two seconds
ahead of the Columbia, but as sho had
been compelled to give the latter a tlmo
nllowanco of 43 seconds, tho defender
won the race by 41 seconds.
In 1S93, when Valkyrie II. had to al
low to Vigilant 1 minute and 33 seconds.
Vigilant, ln one of the contests, won by
40 seconds of that handicap, the British
boat leading her over the finish line.
The Defender, In 1895, won one ot her
bouts with Valkyrie HI. by the scant
margin of 47 seconds.
The series stands now: Shamrock, 2;
Resolute, 1. Thero Is to be no race to
day. Immediately after tho finish yes
terday afternoon Resolute sent aloft tho
code flag signifying that she was ready
for another trial this morning. Sham
rock, however, displayed tho negative
pennant. It was explained that the
green sloop Is to go Into drydock to-dy
to have her underbody thoroughly
scraped and cleaned, by order of her
owner, Sir Thomas Upton.
This leaves the next race to be sailed
to-morrow, unless there should be an
nounced later a further postponement
It will be over the triangular course, a
typo of contest In which Shamrock on
Tuesday' won her clean cut victory. It
will also be a vital one, for If the chal
lenger should win It the Cup goes to the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club, and stays
there until Americans win tt back, while
If the Resolute should score again
there would be two victories apiece,
leaving the deciding bout to be sailed
either on Saturday or later.

Concerning tho possibility of a race
to-morrow thero was much semi-Jocular
cynicism aboard tho press boatn. As Is
well known, seamen are probably tho
most superstitious of human bcinqs, un
less actors In that respect outclass
them. That one of the races should be
sailed on a Friday and In the thirteenth
serlos that have been contested 'or the
dear old trophy was to some unthink
able. Wholly apart from Its unprecedented!?
thrilling finish, yesterday's nro was
easily the most spirited of tho present
series. It was a true yacht race from
tile moment It darted, it was unmarred
by accident to r.'g or gear. Each craft
was sailed for every ounce of power and
speed she had In her and for th.i first
tlmo they had the opportunity for
steady windward work In a ten to
twelve knot breeze that made them heel
over to their work, with white water
boiling under their hulls from stem to
stern and the lee rails awash.
In this pretty exhibition of beating to
windward .the Resduto demonstrated
her mastery. Indeed, It was the duel
between Adams and Burton fought out
during those twenty tacks or more
from the lightship to n point off Lfcng
Branch that determined the fortunes of
the day In favor of the uerendcr. It wns
In that desperate contest of skill nnd
initiative that the Boston skipper, nut
