New Haven, April . 17 The Repub
lican state convention here for the
r-lrr'tlon of delegates to - the Repub
lican National "-Convention, at Chi
cago, and the selection of. a state cen
tral committee, was marked by the
turning' down of two men who have
long been affiliated with state Repub
lican politics. Colonel I. M. Ullman,
of New Haven, was defeated for dele-gate-at-large
by former Governor
Frank B. . Weeks, of Middletown and
George I.. Allen, of Middletown. was
beaten for committeeman by Wilson
S. Reynolds, of the same city, -.
The delegates-at-large are. as fol
lows: f
Charles F. Brooker, Ansonia; Chas.
Hopkins Clark, Hartford; J. Henry
Roraback of Canaan and ex-Governor
Frank B. Weeks. -
- The alternates are William H. Hall,
iWllllngton; Waldo C. Bryant, Bridge
port; George A. Hammond, Putnam;
and E. J. Doollttle, Meriden.
, As had been forecasted, the con
vention brought out a fight between
the Roraback and Ullman factions
and in the defeat of Ullman, the for
mer was victorious but Allen, of Mid
dletown, who was turned -down by
the convention for committeeman, was
a Roraback adherent.
For selection of committeemen there
were three contests, Walter . Perkln
mm. of the 16th. winning out over
Edward T. Foley, and Frea J. crown.
In the 20th. winning over George
Bradford. The biggest fight, however.
was between Allen and Reynolds, of
Middletown, in the 30th. Former Jus
tice of the Supreme Court Silas kod
inson put Reynolds in nomination.
saying. he did not want to advocate
strife and that discord could not
bring party success. "Very many of
Republicans of our district," he said.
!"rightly or wrongly feel we need a
change and a failure to make a
change may bring on a disastrous
breach "in the party."
- Frank A. CowleB. also of , Middle-
town, said: "We want a. business man.
not a professional politician, one who
has more business assets in the dis
trict than a night shirt and tooth
brush."
- George Frisbie, in seconding Allen,
said when he took charge Middletown
was Democratic and that now it was
Republican. The matter was put be.
fore the convention and the vote
stood Reynolds 279. Allen 268.
The selection of the first three dele
gates-at-large took but a few min
utes. Colonel unman put enaries tr.
Brooker's name in nomination, the
convention choosing him unanimous
ly with applause. Hugh M. Alcorn
Tmt Charles Hopkins Clark's name be
fore the delegates as- the choice of
Hartford County and Frank C. Munn,
of Wlnsted. nominated J. Henry Rora
back. These were also . selected by
acclamation.
Z The trouble broke when former Gov.
. Rollin S. Woodruff took the floor and
placed Colonel Ullman in nomination.
saying he should. De sent as one wno
represented the largest city in the
state and also as the personal friend
of the President and moved .that the
secretary cast a ballot.
. Even if the secretary had wished
to he didn't have time for Charles B.
Searles sprang to his feet and said
he did not want to think that, the
convent wanted to apply the gag rule
and placed ex-Governor Weeks in
nomination saying it would be a very
vtrange thing if the Republican con
vention should refuse to send its -ex-Governor
as a delegate. Governor
Weeks, he said, wants nothing and
asks nothing but leaves himself in
the hands of' the convention.
A motion that a ballot oe taken
was accepted without dissent and the
vote resulted 379 for Weeks and 186
for Ullman. .
On the appointing of the alternates
who were all accepted by acclamation,
Charles Hopkins Clark attempted to
have the report of the resolutions
committee read. This was objected
to by Colonel Ullman after Chairman
Llsnt had acquiesced. Colonel Ulman
called attention to the rules of all Re
publican conventions that after the
choosing of alternates the next bus
iness was the selection of delegates
from the Congressional districts. This
the chairman allowed and the follow
ins were selected:
First district Everett J. Lake.

C T. Treadway. Bristol.
Second Charles E. Gates, Willi

When the time for' the. instruction
of the delegates came a resolution was
presented endorsing Taft and instruct
ing the delegates to vote for him at
the convention. When., the name of
Roosevelt was presented ' it was met
with howls and laughter. The resolu
tion endorsinfi President Taft was
carried with only five or six dissent
ing voices.
(The text of the, resolution will be
found on" Page Three.) '
By a ;vote of 239 to 200 the conven
tion voted that all caucuses to select
delegates to the stite conventions be
held at the same time.
This met with opposition, having
come down from the state central
committee which refused to act and
would neither reaffirm or rescind the
vote of the old committee which had
passed a resolution favoring it. The
matter was supported by Colonel Ull
man and opposed" by Elmore S. Banns.
The convention also voted that dis
trict caucuses, which, under the rules,
are now held on the morning of the
second day may be held the night
of the opening If the call so states.

Wireless From Carpathia, Relayed By U. S. S. Chester,
Indicates That Names of All Survivors Among First
and Second Class Passengers Are Known List of
Third Class Survivors to Be Transmitted By Chester
Some Time Today.
Alarming reports from Marconi wifeless indicate to
day that the dead have been underestimated by many
hundreds, and that the number of souls on the Titanic has
been underestimated
The dead, according to. these figures, will reach 2,000
and the survivors count but 700. ;
But the office of the White Star line continues to in
sist that 868 have been saved and but 1,310 lost.
Figures momentarily expected by relay to the U. S.
S. Chester from the Carpathia, will give a list, of the third
class passengers saved, and show the truth about the num
ber surviving. ,
A despatch from London asserts that the Titanic went
down by the head, many passengers and members of the
crew jumping as she fell It is asserted that some 30 ex
plosion caused by steam, ensued as water reached the fires
of the, leviathan. The water is estimated to be 2 miles
deep at the point of sinking, and the vessel would consume
13 minutes in reaching bottom. The bodies of those who
wore life preservers will come to the surf ace and many of
them will be recovtred.'
v There are only 705 survivors of the Titanic on board
the Carpathia, according to a wireless message received at
1:1.0 this afternoon. It came, from Winfield Thompson a
Boston newspaperman, who is a passenger on the Fran
conia. He said that the Carpathia will reach New York
at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
The statement from the captain of the Chester that
the Carpathia has sent the names of all survivors in the
IJfirst and second class.passenger list is taken to show that
John Jacob Astor, Isador Strauss, W. T , Stead, Benjamin
ijuggenhexm, Henry JB; J&arrjsancL othernotables have
surely perished. It is also evident tfiat many "of theom
eh passengers have not been rescued. v ' ! . r V.
At 1:15 p. m, Capt. Decker of the Chester notified the
Navy department that he was waiting the convenience of
the Carpathia to relay list, of third class passengers saved.
The first and second class list; he said,' is complete.
The steamer Etonian, Antwerp, docking today at New
York, reports preceding the Titanic through the fatal ice
line, by 48 hours. There were great fields of ice inter
spersed -with heavy bergs. .
The press of the world appears today to be united in
a denunciation of the recklessness that left the Titanic in
sufficiently, equipped with life boats. If 800 were saved
all could have been saved is the general opinion. ,
The news of today provided few details as to the
manner in which the, greatest steamship ever created by
the hand of man went to its doom. The Bruce, bound for
V Sidney, conveyed to St. Johns, by wireless, news that the
Titanic met the iceberg head on, but slid over and onto a
submerged portion of the great ice block, ripping out hull
and side plates from bow to midship,
Some inquiry began to be made as to the manner in
which Managing Director Ismay came to be saved, it be
ing deemed by the relatives of the survivors in London
that his duty was to stick by the ship. Only the story of
the survivors can show the manner of his rescue.
Two fast government cruisers, the Chester and the
Salem, are far on their way toward the Carpathia, and
early this afternoon it was reported that the Salem was
within speaking distance. Ugly charges are made that
the officials of the White Star line concealed the early
news of the disaster, holding back the knowledge that the
Titanic had gone to bottom, until the stock markets had
closed on Monday. ,
President Taft, during the day, attempted to get in
touch with the Carpathia, to learn the fate of his aide,
Major Archibald Butt The fast cruisers. Chester and
Salem have apparatus with a radius of 1,000 miles, but the
wireless on the Carpathia reaches but 250 miles, and com
munication cannot be had except with ships within the
250 mile zone.
'From Halifax is reported the departure of the Ben-nett-Mackay
cable ship, with a cargo of coffins and a corps
of undertakers arid embalmers on board. The vessel will
pick up any bodies that may be discovered in the neigh
borhood where the Titanic went down, and carries boats
and grappling irons with which to bring up bodies.
A special despatch from Boy Howard, manager of
the United Press, a passenger on the Olympic, early today,
indicated that some bodies had already fbeen recovered,
and are being brought into Boston on the Leyland liner,
Calif ornian.
Olympic arrived too late to assist her sister ship, and
did nothing but serve as a relay station for the wireless
despatches from the Carpathia. She is now proceeding
on her voyage.

of the navy, exerting every effort to
communicate with the Carpathia,
word reached the White House, to
day, that definite news would prob

Carpathian instruments are good for
only 250 miles, no word can be re
ceived until the- cruiser gets within
that distance of the liner.

President Taft was an early riser,
today, and was one of the first to
reach the executive offices. He early
scanned the pile of telegrams for
some word concerning. Major Archi
bald Butt the name was missing
from the revised list of survivors. The
President sat up until a late hour, last
night, receiving news bulletins and
commercial messages but hope that
some word from Butt would be re

WAITING AT WHITE
STAR OFFICES FOR
NEWS OF DISASTER
New York, April 17. Although re
ported by wireless to be in communi
cation with the Cape Sable station,
the rescue ship Carpathia, beaTing
the Titanic survivors, had not been
heard from at the White Star offices
here at 8 o'clock this morning.
The Marconi .Wireless Company re
ported that the Cape Sable station
had been In touch with the Car
pathia, early last evening, and the
White Star officials anxiously awaited
the messages they were sure would
come. But no word was received.
The officials declared they had heard
nothing from the Carpathia since 9
o'clock, yesterday morning.
DEATH SHIP GOES
OUT FROM HALIFAX
CARGO OF COFFINS, UNDERTAK
ER AND OUTFIT SEARCH SEAS
. FOR BODIES. ;
Incoming Vessels at Nova Scotia Port
Bring No Comforting Tidings of
' . Great Disaster.
(By Marten E. Pew. Staff Correspond
ent of the United Press.)
Halifax, N. S., April 17.- With 200
coffins, . practically- the . entire supply
of caskets in this- town," stacked on
her - forward deck, the cable ship
Mackay-Bennett sailed, this af ternoon,
to explore the scene of .the founder
ing of : the Titanic; and .pick up any
floating' bodies.- restoring them to
loved ones ashore. ' -,- - :
When ! this - mournful death ship
passed out of the harbor thousands of
citizens lined-the 'docks making a sil
ent demonstration of sympathetic in
terest and a flag- on the citadel was
dropped to halfm'ast. '
The .' Mackay-Bennett carried an
undertaker and a staff of embalmers,
a full equipment of embalming ap
pliances and a large quantity of ice.
If any bodies are found they will be
brought here It is not believed-that
the ship will return before 10 days.
She carries a wireless outfit and news
of the finding of bodies that can be
identified will be flashed to the White
Star officials in New York.-
Half a dozen small boats eqiiipped
with grappling irons and nets were
taken for use in combing the sea for
bodies.
The belief that many bodies may be
found is based on the success, of a
similar expedition after the wreck of
the French liner LaBourgoyne, which
was sunk in collision off this port.
Scores of bodies were picked up at
sea for two weeks after that disaster.
Vincent Astor - is depending upon
the Mackay-Bennett- to find the body
of his father if possible. No attempt,
of course, will be made to penetrate
to the two mile depth where the
Titanic is now resting, this being im
possible for divers, : according to
marine men here.'
Captain Larnbner, of the cable ship,
before sailing, said:
i "We are under charter of the White
Star Company.. Just as soon as any
body la found and identified, a wire
less message will be sent to the White
Star , Company 4n New York. I ex
pect that we will spend two or three
days at, the scene of the disaster ex
ploring , the field. Bodies will be
tenderly cared for and returned to
Halifax as soon as possible."
The freighter "Anne," from Lon
don, arrived here, today, for coal. She
carried no wireless and her crew had
not heard of the Titanic disaster, until
this port was reached.
Hundreds of messages are piled up
at the wireless stations here and at
Cape Race , for transmission to the
Carpathia. .These are from frantic
friends and relatives asking for news
of survivors. '
So- gre&p Is the accummulation of
messages that the wireless operators
have no hope of clearing them today
or . tomorrow. Wireless waves are
searching the seas again, today, for
tidings from the vapor-enshrouded
deep that would clear away some of
the mystery of the world's . greatest
marine catastrophe.
DID TITANIC'S
BOILERJKPLODE?
THRILLING STORY OF SINKING
OF GREAT LE1TATHAN AP
PEARS IN LONDON.
London, April 17. A thrilling story
of what is termed the "Last moments
of the Titanic" was published here,
this afternoon. It did not give the
source of the information but, acsord
ing to the account, the great ship
sunk by the head and had reached
an angle of about 49 degrees before
the final plunge came.
The passengers Tetreated to the
stern as the vessel began to tilt for
ward. Many hurriedly put on life
belts. Some lost their footing and fell
overboard. Others jumped overboard,
hoping to be able to swim away from
the vessel before she took her final
plunse. The Titanic went down bow
first, her stern and propellers flying
high into the air. The captain and
his officers were seen clinging to the
bridge. As the leviathan sank be
neath the waves a great spout of wa
ter showed that the boilers had ex
ploded. There must have been at
least 30 explosions in the furance
room as the sea water reached the
wa
fires. '
The authorities at the Admiralty
compute , the Titanic's position at , the
bottom as not less than 8 miles from
the spot where she sunk. They say
it must have taken 13 minutes to
reach the bottom and that .at the spot
where she now lies the water on the
chart is indicated at 2, miles deep.
. The passengers who . were sucked
down by the whirlpool following the
sinking of the steamer were suffo
cated. Those-who had attached life
belts -will come to the surface and
their bodies be recovered.

LATEST BULLETIN.
Washington, April 17. Commander
Decker, of the scout cruiser Chester,
notified the navy department at 1:15
p. m., that he had established com
munication with the Carpathia.
A message that followed read:
"The Carpathia states that the list
of firgt and second class passengers
and the crew have been sent ashore.
The Chester will relay the list of third
class passengers when convenient to
the Carpathia."
New York, April 17. -The word
sent to Washington by Commander
Decker, of the scout cruiser Chester,
that the steamer Carpatlua "reported
the names of. all first and second class
passengers were sent ashore was be
lieved at the White Star offices to
mean that only those whose names
have been sent out have been saved
from the wreck of the Titanic. The
others on the Carpathia are third
class. If this conclusion is trne there
Is not much hope for the men and
women still missing. -
The report from the Chester was
accepted as true. There now comes
fear that the number rescued would
be less than 700. fc
"It would appear that we know all
who were saved so far as well known
names are concerned," reluctantly
said a White Star official, "and the
early fears have become a reality."

FAMOUS ADMIRAL WOULD RATH

THAN CROSS NORTH
ATLANTIC IN TRANS-ATLANTIC
VESSEL REMEDY HE SUG
GESTS. Washington,, April 17 In a state
ment about the Titanic and, general .
danger in ocean voyages, . Admiral
Dewey said today: . .
"I think that every passenger who
crosses the North Atlantic takes his
life in his hands every time. For
myself, I would rather go around the
world in a well equipped man-of-war
than make "a trip across the North
Atlantic in a trans-Atlantic vessel. -
"Let all good Americans exert every
energy to have the present laws
amended as regards lifesaving appli
ances on every passenger-carryins '
vessel. I do hot believe that a pas
senger vessel should be cleared unless
she has boats sufficient to float thI
great majority , of its precious carg'
in the event of an accident.
"The most unfortunate part of thfe"
fatality Is that most of the drowned
are Americans and we Americans
surely have some rights in the mat
ter. It is very, easy to picture an
American of the type of Major Archi
bald Butt, one of God's noblemen, do
ing all he can to insure the safety of.
the women and children aboard tba
Titanic, knowing that within a very
short time he will face his Creator, I
sincerely hope Congress will attend to
the matter of caring for the lives of
passengers . aboard our trans-Atlantic
liners. Is there any need for a more
striking, example?"
