April li-Thtce lour' delay as cxperh need today in calling the dem ocratic county convention and the dis turbance which for a time threatened to end in bloodshed finally resulted in two conventions, one ot the factions known as the Hrarst-liarrtson forces and the other the followers of Roger C. Sullivan, national drniocrstic committeeman. The victory, if there was any victory, went to the Hearst-Harrison faction, who, with the aid of the police, and re inforced by the direct orders of County Judge Owens, battered down the doors of the Seventh regiment armory. In spite of the refusal of the militiamen within to open the doors, and took their seats in the hall. The roll of delegates was called by Election Commissioner Cxarneckl. a re publican, on the orders of County Judge Owens, and llvts of delegates to the state convention were prepared for approval 01 the delegates in the hall. , Kalllvaa Delegates Meet. I'nder the leadership of John McOlllen. chairman of the Cook county demo cratic central committee, the Sullivan delegates to the convention went to an other hall to hold their convention. With two sets of delegates elected to the state convention at Peoria, April 19, the convention there will be obliged to decide which faction is rightfully seated. After the police entered the armory Captain Octlgan was arrested and taken to Judge Owens' chambers. The Hearst-Harrison faction won She first victory peacsbly when, after the doors of the Seven 111 regiment armory had been broken down at orders from County Judge (Moras, the "H.-H." delegates filed Into the armory while state troops mad no resistance, . Vnlll the arrival ot Judge Owens the to tactions among the delegates faced ech other outside the building, each armed with a court order and backed by men at arms. The Hearst-Harrison forces depended on ap order from Judge Owens directing that Election Commissioner Csarneckl, a republican, preside as temporary chair man. When Csarneckl reached the ar mory, however, backed by v bluecoats and MO deputy sheriffs, to open the con vention he was refused admittance by Captain Oclagon of the Seventh regiment. Captain Oclagon explained that as cus todian of the state property in the build ing he would permit no one to enter the building except those authorised by John McOlllen, lessee of the building, as county chairman ot the democratic, con vention. The Harrison-Hearst delegates at a nearby hall selected temporary officers and marched to the armory and waited developments outside. The Sullivan forces have behind them an Injunction from Superior Judge Mc Klnley restraining the police, the elec tion commissi in and the sheriff from Interfering with the convention. Each faction ignores the court order of the other and several times clashes between troops inside the building, anri the police seemed Imminent. LATEST FRO PUSSSl LVA.M.a Delraatlowa Kernel? I'aaalmoae for Roosevelt ana vVtleaa. PHILADELPHIA, April Ik-Corrected returns up to this afternoon give Theo dore Roosevelt fifty-four of the sixty foar district national delegates, . with prospects that the number will be in creased te fifty-five as the result ot Sat urday's primary election in Pennsylvania. Aa hia supporters expect to control in state convention, which will name twelve delegates-at-large, this will give him a total of sixty-six. or possibly sixty-seven, out of a state delegation of seventy six. President Taft carried only the First, Second and Third congressional districts In Philadelphia, and the Ninth district, comprised of Lancaster county. He won one delegate In the Fifth district of this city. The one delegate In doubt is In the Twentieth district, comprised cf Adams and York counties. Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jer sey made almost a clean sweep of the state. Returns indicate that be has sev enty delegatee, but the exact number cannot be ascertained until a complete count Is in.

April li-The Stan department's forceful note to the con tending factions in Mexico warning them against any mistreatment of Americans Is believed fo have brought the relations between the Cnited Htates and Mexico to the critical point. This Is a fair deduc tion from the past experience and tradi tion of the State department, notably and recently in the caae of Cuba. It Is recalled that Just such warning as this preceded the .Spanish war, culminat ing in the famous message of President Mc Klnley. which referred to the "Intol erable conditions existing at our door way." It Is still hoped and believed by admin istration officials, however, that Hatur day'a notes will hale a sobering effect ou the passions of the struggling furtlona.

April 15. - President Taft's warning to the Mexican govern ment that the I'nlted Htates "expects and must demand that American life and property within the republic of Mxlro bn justly and adequately protected." was transmitted by the American rmbesay to the Mexican foreign office today. The ambassador declined to make any com ment on the subject. The warning is regarded by foreigners here as wise and timely, though it is recognised that the Mexican administra tion is disposed to respect American lives to Its utmost capacity. It is believed that the warning will have the effect of causing sharp instructinna to be issued to General Villa, whose Irregularities con stitute the danger point, if any, in tlf federal control. The foreign minister was unwilling to make any ermment pending full consid eration of the text ot the message. Will Lark Oat Aasertraas.

It reiwrts that the Titanic foundere.l at about i t) o'clmk a. in. in lal'tude II.M north and longitude ii ll west. The mesai:e adds Unit all the Tllanlr'a boats were accounted for. and "about T1 souls sued, crew and passengers, latter nearly all wonten and children." There were about 2.JW persons In all. crew and passengers, on board the Ti tanic. The report from the Olympic Hales that the l-eyland liner California was remain ing and searching the vicinity of the disaster. The Canthla, It was said, waa returning to New York with the survivors. NEW YOHK. April ll-Vlce Piesldent Ftankltn of the White Hlar steamship line St t M O'clock tonight conceded that Utere had been "a horrible loss of lite" lh tne TttSnlc, SlsweteT..' lie eald thai be had no Information to dlspisy 'he Associated Press dispatch from, Cap Race to the effect that only Gi -of the passengers snd crew hsd been rescued, lie said that the monetary losa could not be estimated tonight, sllhnugh he unlimited that It would run Into thJ millions "We replace the money." he added ' but not the lives." Mr. Franklin continued: 'As far as we know it has been rumored from Halifax that three steamers have passengers on board, namely, the Vir ginian, the Carpathia and Parisian. Now we have heard from Captain Haddock that the Titanic sank at MO this morning. We hate also lrsrned from him that the Carpathia had 7S survivors on board. It is very Ulffkult to learn If the Virginian and the Parisian have any luvlvors on board. We have asked Captain Haddock and our agent at Halifax to ascertain If there are any passengera aboard the two steamships. Vice President Frsnklin positively re fused to give out the full text ot tho mesxage received from Captain Haddock of the Olympic, reporting the finking of the Titanic. This attitude led to the belief that the mcuwigc Intimated a loss of life, which the company desired to confirm before spreading alarm. Mr. Franklin said Captain Haddock's message was very brief and "neglected to say that all thvrew had been saved." It said that the Carpathia had or "At of the Tltanic'e passengers aboard, Including all of the first cabin, and that the vessel should reach New York Fri day morning. No information had been received from the Virginian of Parisian at the White Star line offices, although it waa aald "to be known" that many of the Titan lc's passengers were on these vessels. Vice President Franklin said he had cancelled arrangemenla for the special trains which they had planned tu aend tu Halifax to bring the rescued passen gers to this city by rail, as it was believed that the boats which had Titanic paa sengers aboard would ateam direct for New York. The message received from Captain liaodock, aa made public by Mr. Frank lin, reads: At Z:9 a. m. Titanic foundered. Car pathia proceeding to New York with pas sengers." There was reason to believe, bowever, that the message waa considerably longer than the above. Officials ot the White Star line had re ceived no word here at I o'clock this morning other than from the press dis patches ot the reported accident to the Titanic. 'They were unable to under stand why they had not received some direct dispatch from the Titanic. The following statement was made by one of the oflcers ot the ccmpany: "Twelve hours have passed since the collision was reported to have taken place snd we have heard nothing of the acci dent. It Is most strange that the Ti tanic s sister ship, Olympic, wnieh has wireless apparatus of sufficient strength to send messages across the Atlantic, has sent us nothing. The Olympic left here last Saturday and this morning Is s miles away from the Titanic. The Olympic should be alongside the Titanic o'clock thia afternoon, the Oylmplc has been notified of the reported acci dent." A wireless message from the Titanic received shortly after midnight, . an nounced the liner had struck an Iceberg off the banks of Newfoundland and was In a sinking condition. Transfer of the passengers to the lifeboats began at once, The accident occurred last night. t Two hours later, the ship's wireless ap paratus, which bad been working so badly as to permit of only Intermittent and fragmentary messages, failed com pletely. Weather fa I at aad Clear. The last worda sent by the operator told that the vessel was apparently doomed, "sinking by the head" and that the women tsssrngera wrre being rushed Into the lifeboats. A reassuring feature waa thst the weather waa calm and clear, and help only s few hours away. The Titanic a first . 0. 8. message was received by the Allen linen Virginian, which according lo Ihe position given by the Tltanic'a operator waa not more than ! mllea sway. The captain of the Vir ginian at once started bis boat at full speed for the scene of the disaster, an nouncing to his broths- officer en the bridge of the Titanic thst the Virginian should teach Mm by It o'clock this morning. The Titanlc's accident happened in latitude ti l north, longitude to It west. This point Is about MM miles due east of New York City and C mllea south of Cape Mace. New Foundland, wlreleaa sta tion. All the mesxagea from lbs ship were relayed to the Cape Race wireless station by the Virginian and forwarded by the Marconi company to New Tork City. The Tltanic'a twin, shin, Olympic, which left New York last week waa also in direct communication with the sinking boat from a point shout 300 miles sway and started at once for the scene.
