Each Passen ger Paid $250 in Gold Leaving a Deficit of $40,000. Will Be Paid and “Money Well Spent.” New York.—Four hundred mors Aerlcans who scrambled out of Eu rope because of the war reached New York on the tlallan liner Principe dl Udine, from Genoa. The venae! was specially chartered for the trip by R. A. C. Smith, dock commissioner of New York. Among the passengers were Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and family, and Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt. The Udine reached quarantine late last night followed by the Holland- Atnerlcan line steamer Noordam, from Rotterdam. Count Von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United Btates, was among the Noordam’s passengers. Paid $200,000. Two hundred thousand dollars was paid the Lloyd Sabaudo Company at Genoa for the use ut the Principe dl Undine. Each passenger paid $250 gold as a minimum for first cabin ac commodations, leaving a deficit of about S4OO which will be met by the committee which arranged the trip. In a statement issued at New York today the committee says "the money was well spent.” It was suggested In a etatement, Is sued by passengers that a special committee should confer with repre sentatives of the slate department "to submit trustworthy Information on the critical financial and sanitary sit uation of fellow citizens in southern Europe.” This latter was signed, among others, by Henry Burnett, Isiulsville, Ky.; Theodore W. Noyes, Washington; the Rev. Edward Kond thaler, North Carolina and Landon Thomas, Augusta, (!a. Came Alangside. The Undine saw no warships until last Thursday afternoon when a Brit ish auxiliary cruiser, believed to be the former Cunard liner Caronia, came alongside. After looking the liner over and ascertaining that she flew the neutral Italian flag the cruiser withdrew. The voyage of the Undine and the circumstances which preceded It are perhaps without parallel. It was a case 'M buying a ship, as It were, to get out of Europe. Greatest difficulty was experienced In arranging the fi nancial details at Genoa, for while there were millions represented among Ihe Americans in the enterprise, get- I ting cash was quite another matter. After proposition and counter propo | nttiou had been made the liner final ly get away at Wednesday noon August 12th. By 4:30 P. M.

To me?t these Think Hardwick Will Be Choice 2nd or 3rd Ballot Atlanta, Ga.—Despite the Import ance of the democratic convention to he held In Macon there has tieen ap parent In state papers a remarkable confusion ns to the date upon which this meeting was set hy the executive committee. It has variously hyen re ferred to as falling on Sept. 1, 2 and 5. The official call of the commit tee sets It for Sept. 1. Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick, seen today, expressed the utmost con fidence In his nomination hy the con vention. He seemed to have no ap |)rehenslon whatever on that point. ‘‘Mr. Slaton's contention that he Is entitled to the nomination because of his microscopic lead In delegates and popular votes. Is amusing." he re marked. "The county unit system, which he has so loudly favored, seems to have caught him In Its meshes. "As to that, figures show that 140,- ! 461 voters voted against Mr. Slaton | while 69.527 voted for him. It does not seem to me that this constitutes , a valid title to a democratic naming ! tlon On the other hand, more than ! two-thirds of the voters have Insisted I that Mr Slaton serve out his contract I term as governor of Georgia.

OF COTTON WARE HOUSES' BIEL Lengthy Debate Over Senator Hoke Smith’s Measure -Many Object While Others Seek to Broaden. ANSWER TO CHRONICLE’S ARGU MENT AND GOVERNOR SLATON’S CLAIM. The whole canvass was carried on with the almost universal understand ing of Hardwick’s and Felder’s friends and supporters that If Slaton failed to win on the county unit plan —and It was so charged by Slaton’s supporters—that the supporters of Hardwick and Felder would then unite and elect either Hardwick or Felder. This was so universal that no one should attempt to dispute it, and as they have the majority of both the popular vote as well as the con vention vote, why should time and ink he wasted to argue it or set up a claim for the governor when he Is In a min ority, even after giving him all of Huthens' supporters.

In Georgia and supporting the na tional administration, have received almost 10,000 votes as against Mr. Slaton's 69,000. We have 211 dele gates against his 141. It does not take a very profound mathematician to figure out the results. "Without a doubt the progressiva wing of our party will organize and control the Macon convention, elect two Wilson democrats as senators and let Mr. Slaton serve out the balance of his term as governor.” Tile counties are rapidly naming delegates to the Macon convention and from reports already received the great majority of them will be Hard wick men. The rule provides that they he named from the friends of the successful candidates for governor, and as the gubernatorial candidate will be chosen without a contest It makes small difference to him who are the delegates However, Judge Harris has asked that the Bibb dele gation be made up of men who voted for him and for Felder, another Bibb county man. Wise politicians here assert that Governor Slaton has small chance in the convention, which will largely be made up of Hardwick and Felder men, and that certainly one of these two will be chosen senator. None seems to think It likely that Mr. Felder, who ran third, will be the choice, and moet of them think that Hardwick will win on the second or third ballot.
