STILL HESITATE,HOWEVER
Thorough Canvass Being Made
Before Influence Is Thrown
to justice.
By I. A. POWLSN.
(The 3.n News servsee.)
Chicago. June 2-With the arrival here
of most of the big Republican leaders,
the situation in regard to the Presidential
nomination has begun to assume a more
defntte outline. The men whose voice
are most powerful in the councils of the
Republican party have no doubt at pres
ent that they can nominate Associate Jus
tice Charles E. Hughes. og the United
States Supreme Court. over tol. Roose
velt, if they desire to do so.
Whether they will actually throw their
influence in favor of the nomination of
the Jurist is, however, a question that is
still undetermined. Satisfied that they
will be able to prevent the nomination
of Col. Roosevelt by turning to Justice
Hughes, the old-time leaders will can
vasm the situation carefully before com
mitting themselves to Mr. Hughes.
May Pick "Dark Horse."
In other words. the m-n who have been
the dominationg factors in the last two
Republican conventloimy intend to con
sider the possibility of raming some other
candidate who is more to their liking.
Personally, they would prefer to name
Elihu Root. and some of them also look
with favor upon ex-Senator Theodore
Burton. of Ohio: Charles W. Fairbanks.
of Indiana. and Governor McCall. of Mas
sachusetts.
The next two days will be devoted by
the Republican leaders to ascertaining
from the incoming delegatet whether Mr.
Root or any other of the candidates ex
cept Justice Hughes and Col. Roosevelt
could be elected over President Wilson.
and also whether it will be possible to
obtain Progressive Indorsement for any
of these men. If the report Is unfavora
ble. as now seems likely, the big leaders
are apt to throw their influence in the
direction of Justice Hughes as a certain
means of preventing a scramble in the.
convention with the possibility of the
nomination of Col. Roosevelt.
General Conference Planned.
The line of action to be followed be
came apparent soon after the arrival in
Chicago of Senator Penrose. of Pennsyl
vania. and former Senator Murray Crane
of Massachusetts, who are acknowledged
to be the most important political factors
in the present situation.
Mr. Crane and Mr. Penrose had not
been on the ground long before a proposaj
had been advanced for a get-together
conference to be attended by representa
tives of all of the candidates.
While the Republican leaders were giv
ing evidence of a get-together spirit, and
a desire for harmony, the more radical
of the Progressives were showing seri
ous signs of kicking over the traces.

MEXICO CITY IN PERIL
Massing of Troops Near Bor
der Leaves Rebel Leader
with Clear Field.
Serious offensive operations by Zapatis
tas in the vicinity of Mexico City, re
ported to the State Department yester
day in official advices, are expected to
have a sobering effect on the belligerent
attitude assumed by Gen. Carranza in
his note to the United States.
Taking advantage of the action of the
do facto government In moving large
numbers of troops northward toward the
border. Zapata, according to the reports.
has launched an active campaign, which
may threaten Mexico City itself. It is
expected that as a result of this Car
ranza will have to draw heavily on his
troops in the north.
Had Pact with Vilia.
The chief significance at the present
time of the Zapatista activities lies in
the fact, disclosed by the capture of cer
tain correspondence of Villa's after the
Columbus raid, that Villa had an ar
rangement with the Morelos bandit chief
tain whereby eventually the Zapatistas
and Villistas would effect a combination
in a supreme effort to overthrow the
Carranza government.
For weeks the whereabouts of Villa
and the remnants of his followers has
been a mystery, and it is regarded as
not beyond the bounds of possibility that
if he is still living he may either have
joined Zapata. or have gotten close
enough to be in communication with him.
About a week ago the Mexican Embassy
here gave out a statement saying that
Zapata had Instructed his followers to
cease their attacks on Carranzista troops
and to confine their operations to the
wrecking of all trains carrying Ameri
cans and other foreigners. Judging from
the advices received by the State Depart
ment the brigand chieftain has changed
his program again.

MASS ATTACK RESORTED
TO IN DESPERATE BATTLE
(By the San News gerviee.)
Paris, June 2.-Following up their suc
cess in the Caillette wood yesterday aft.
ernoon. the Germans launched a powerful
attack this morning on the sector to the
east, extending from the Vaux Pond, Im
mediately west of the village of Vaux. to
the village of Damloup, to the southeast
at the foot of the heights of the Meuse.
The center of this line I In front of
Fort Vaux. which was the objective of
the German assaults. The Germans suc
ceeded in occupying a part of the village
of Damloup, but were not able to gain
a foothold on the heights above. Even at
Damloup, the scene of the only German
success, the greater part of the village
remains in French hands.
The mass attack, which has been used
by the Germans throughout the recent re
newal of the Verdun offensive, as it was
used in the earlier days of the campaign
for Verdun. was brought Into play again
on the Vaux front with corresponding
losa to the attacking troops,
As the waves surged up the heights to
the fort and fell back again, torn to pieces
by the French fire, masses of re-enforce
ments moved forward from Dieppe, behind
the German lines to the northeast, and
came under the fire of the French heavy
batteries. Under this fire the supporting
troops broke and fled back to Dieppe.

$90,000,000 WORTH OF WARSHIPS
SUNK IN GREAT BATTLE AT SEA
The greatest sea battle in the world's histoty resulted in the de
struction of more than $90,oooooo worth of warships. Of this amount
the British loss, according to London admiralty's official report, is
$7o,ooo,ooo. This is irrespective of the loss caused by ships which
were damaged.
The amount of the German loss is indefinite because the cruiser
Wiesbaden is not listed in any naval almanac, and is undoubtedly
one of the vessels constructed since the outbreak of the war. It
can be estimated, however, at about $15,000.000.
The German ships lost, according to Berlin, cost as follows:
Pommern, $6,070,000; Frauen Lob, $i,5oo,ooo. Total, $7,57o,oo. Wies
baden, cost unknown.
