4 GEORGIANS SEE NO WILSON HOPE Defeat in This State a Real Waterloo Proved by Subse quent Events. Georgians who have kept tab on the trend of things political of late are gen erally becoming convinced of two things, so far as national affairs are concerned: First. that Champ Clark Is far and away in the lead for the Demo cratic nomination, and likely will win It: second, that the Wilson movement has collapsed utterly all along the line, and practically has finished its course. The New Jersey governor has added nothing whatever to his strength since the failure of his Georgia campaign save the Texas delegation. On the other hand, the speaker has added state after state since then, and Mr. Under wood has won Mississippi. As the count stands today, Clark has votes assured. Wilson has 162, and Underwood has 84. On the day of the Georgia primary Clark had 246. Wilson had 122, Under wood had 40. Since the Georgia primary Clark has added 122 delegates. Wilson has added to, and Underwood has added 44. Wilson’s Final Collapse. The last crimp in the Wilson tusom ame yesterday, when South Carolina, which had been generally conceded tn Wilson, failed to instruct for Hlli/And it became necessary to remove from the Wilson column the eighteen dele gates from that state, which had been accorded him. *■ True, the convention did adopt a brief and entirely colorless resolution "In dorsing" the New Jersey governor, but It included in -that resolution a pointed statement that the "indorsing'' carried with it no instructions to the delega tion. Another hard jolt that came tn the Wilson people yesterday was the action of Michigan. In no state had the Wilson claims been more vociferous or pronounced than in the old Wolverine state. It was confidently expected to send a solid Wilson delegation to Baltimore. When the convention acted, however, it not only refused to send an instructed delegation to Baltimore, hut it framed up a delegation that is generally thought to stand 22 to 8 for Champ Clark. Nor did the Michigan disappointment complete the full measure of the Wil- Bonite cup of woe yesterday Tennessee, scheduled a month ago to fall over itsejf getting into the Wilson band wagon, forgot the alleged superior claims of Wilson, and in the showdown named a delegation that was agreed upon by friends of Clark, Wilson, Har mon and Underwood. Georgia Begins the End. Looking backward nowadays. It is easy enough to see that the beginning of the Wilson e,nd came right here in Geo - gia. The Wilson people frankly mad" Georgia the climax of their fight for the professor. They staked their all on the Empire state of the South, and, losing it, they lost everything Not since the Georgia 'Waterloo has Wilson stock advanced a point. Even the favorable action of Texas failed to revive the Wilson boom. Texas' action came too late to resurrect the corpse. Logical and discriminating observers agreed immediately after the finish o' the Georgia fight that the Wilson boom was no more Some of the professor’s more partisan and uncompromising ltd. herents disputed this, and still hoped against hope. But cold figures tell a tale that can not be discounted. The Wilson movement is no more. State after stale has fallen into th speaker’s column since Georgia refused to stand for Wilson. Mr Underwood has added four more delegates to hi" list than Professor Wilson has been able to round up since that fatal First of May. It looks today like a genuine "run away race" for Clark.

Trox Bankston. who prints a I newspaper in Alabama, the while h“ I runs for railroad commissioner in ’ Georgia, is worried over a persistent re i port that Judge George Hillyer has changed his mind about not being a candidate to succeed himself on the commission. Judge Hillyer did give out a state ment early in she spring to the effect that he would "retire at the end of his present term of service on the railroad commission, .Mr.’ Bdnkaton thereupon announceVr'tfiat he wofilrf’be a candi date to succeed the judge, and would enter the primary fw that specific suc cession, rather than for one of the other two vacancies to occur. There have been something like a dozen gentlemen "mentioned" for rail road commissioner, but Mr. Bankston seems to be the only candidate thus far who has come right out in the open and said which particular vacancy he pro posed to go after. About a week or more ago. however, rumor began to assert, with consider able show of authority, that Judge Hill yer had reconsidered his former deter mination and would be very nitwit in Hie race to succeed himself. This in teresting and significant rumor, more over, Judge Hillyer has neither denied nor affirmed, notwithstanding the fact that numerous anxious inquirers have undertaken to gel a further word from him. It Is a known fart, too, that consid erable pressure of a particularly weighty- kind has been brought upon Judge Hillyer of late to stand once more for the office he now holds. "If not nominated now. 1 shall immediately begin the fight for next time." said Colonel Roosevelt the other day. If that fails to stop the argument, what will stop It? Editor Charles R Pendleton, of .Macon, is not afraid to rattle his kkeleton-in-the-closet, if necessary or desirable. He admits he was once a member of the Georgia legis lature. Charles R. Crisp, who is a candidate for congress In the new Third district, is giving practically, no time and at tention to his Georgia campaign, be cause his exacting duties as house par liamentarian in Washington keep him so busy ho dare not leave the national capital. Mr. Crisp’s particular work Is such a vital part of each day’s proceedings in Washington that the house was forced to adjourn one day this week, because while the parliamentarian was neces sarilv absent from his post of duty for an hour or s<>, the house got. Itself into such a tangle that it couldn’t get out without shutting up shop temporarily or, at bast, until Mr, Crisp could be communicatod with. Congress likely will adjourn early in June, and not until then will Mr. Crisp have a real opportunity to prosecute his Georgia campaign. Mr Taft apparently Is rapidly approaching that point where he will agree that "nobody loves a fat. man." The idea that a delegate at large means a delegate with no strings fled to him. is not necessarily true. The state Democratic convention may require - ven Delegate al Large Watson, for instance, to stand hitched. ■ A number of newspapers in the Sev enth congressional district are urging Representative Gordon Lee for one of the delegate's places from Georgia to the national Democratic convention in Baltimore. Mr. Lee is a warm friend as well as a congressional colleague of Mr. Under wood; and, besides, Walker county. THE A LLAM A GEOKGIAA AND NEWS: J HURSDAY, MAY 16, 191 Z. where Mr. Lee fives, gave tho Alabama man the biggest majority he received in the Seventh district. G Edward Maddox, of Rome, and J. M Lang, of Calhoun, also are being mentioned as district delegates to Bal timore. Whatever else may be true, most newspaper" men love Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt dearly for the rattle ty-bang "copy" he makes. If Colonel J Lindsay Johnson succeeds in getting his ’’insurgent" band seated in the state convention, he ought never to stand ba< k here after on taking any old 10 tef 1 shot that heaves in sight. Ed Smith, of the editorial staff of The Baltimore American, Is not only one of the most astute and observant political writers In this country, but en joys—largely by reason of his long service on The Post and Herald in Washington- a wide acquaintance among statesmen, real and near. Mr. Smith has been cheeking up things political In Georgia of late, par ticularly with respect to the presiden tial situation Republican wise, and he believes that, whatever may happen elsewhere to the Southern delegates Mr. Taft now- has, Georgia’s delegates will never be switched from the president to Mr. Roosevelt. ’Tf Mr. Roosevelt beats Mr. Taft to the nomination he will have to beat him to it without Georgia’s Republican dele gates—that’s a fact," said Mr. Smith. "I have looked into that matter, and 1 think T am right." “It may be true.” he continued, “that the Democratic delegates will be switch ed from Underwood to Clark at the psychological moment, hut the Repub lican delegates will stay put." Mr. Smith talks most Interestingly of his newspaper experience here and there. “I once ran a gossip column." said he, "which I headed ‘Men and Things.’ I thought that was a good enough head, until one day I wrote something about the particularly charming wife of a well known Alabama congressman. The aft ernoon of the day it appeared i received a note from this delightful, woman, ob jecting vehemently and at length to be ing classed with 'Things.’ “'Your usually interesting column,' her note ran, 'concerns itself exclusively with "Men and Things," and as you wrote of me, and I certainly am not a man. I Infer that you meant to say 1 am a Thing ' "I answered that note as best I knew how, concluded Mr. Smith, "and the next morning 1 changed the heading of that column to read, 'People and Things.' ” RICHMOND WILL UNVEIL A.

HOT SPRINGS UNHURT BY FLOOD, DECLARES MAYOR, EX ATLANTAN ’’The report that appears to have gamed ground in Georgia that the baths al Hot Springs, Ark., have been sus pended on account of the flooded con dition.in the Mississippi valley is ab surd to any one who knows anything of the topography of the land." says W W Waters, mayor of Hot Springs, who is in Atlanta looking after his tea! es tate interests. "Hot Springs. Ark., the place of the famous baths, is over 100 miles from any point of the flood,” Mr. Waters con tinued, "and the country around there is no more affected by the flood than is Georgia.

LONDON, May 16. —Another pathet ic chapter was today added to the story of human sacrifice in the Titanic dis aster when an employee of the lost White Star liner testified at the gov ernment's Inquiry that lie had seen one lifeboat lowered containing only five passengers. These lifeboats, according Ito previous evidence, could accommo date from fifty to seventy persons in a calm sea such as prevailed off the Newfoundland banks when the ill-fated steamer plunged to the bed of the At lantic. A bathroom attendant on the Titanic named Rule testified that he had seen the practically empty lifeboat lowered away. He did not know who had given the order to lower the boat but he thought it was an officer, On cross ex. amination Rule pleaded at times that he could not remember, saying the dis aster had affected his memory. This brought him a sharp rebuke frojn Lord Mersey', the presiding judge, who said: "I can understand how the dis aster could affect your memory but can not understand how you could remem ber things which did not happen." This was an allusion to vague and contradictory testimony’ which Rule had given on direct examination. Answering questions by' Thomas Scanlon, attorney for the National Sailors and Firemen's union. Rule said he had seen J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the International Mercantile Marine, owners of the White Star line, on the boat deck helping fill lifeboat No. 3 on the starboard side. He had not seen Ismay leave the ship. Picked Up No False Report, Rule followed Wireless Operator Dur rant. of the Canadian steamer Mount Temple, on the stand. Questioned by Attorney Clem Edwards, representing the Dock Workers union, Durrant testi fied that he did not pick up any wire less messages on April 15 to the effect that the Titanic was proceeding to Hal. ifax and that all her passengers had been rescued. This was the first inquiry into that phase of the disaster relating to the dis semination offals einformation regard ing the fate of the ship and her passen. gers. John Hart, a third-class steward on the who testified after Rule, said that he thought so lightly of the accident that he went to sleep again after he learned the vessel had col lided with an iceberg. Later, when aroused to the gravity of the situation, he went on deck and helped to get the passengers Into the lifeboats.. Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co.
