ROOSEVELT BOOMERS BUSY Loeh, Johnson, Pinchot and Others Setting the Colonel's Camp Ready for Early Action. FULTON OF OREGON CALLS CRITIC BY VICTOR ROSEWATER. Convention Hall, Chicago, June 4. The. steadying of the Hughes posi tion with the incoming delegations, bringing first hand information, has been the feature of an otherwise un exciting Sunday. It is plain that the first ballot showing for Hughes will not disclose his whole nitiial strength, because quite a few uninstructed delegates, who are heart and soul for Hughes, have complimentary obliga tions they want to discharge and the result is likely to indicate a wider scattering than has been counted on. Center to Rally On. The real advantage scored today comes tbough the arrival of the out-and-out Hughes delegates giving a tangible rallying point. This is particularly true with respect to the Whitman end of the New York dele gation, headed by the governor him self, who is ready to take a leading part in the organization of the Hughes forces. Of course, the other candidate's quarters have also had occasions, and the activity has been quickened in the several Roosevelt camps. I saw William Loeb, jr., looking over the rooms engaged for the Roosevelt committee, and Gifford Pinchot and Governor Hiram Johnson and other distinguished bull moosers are here making themselves busy. I stopped a moment on the avenue to talk with Oscar Straus and we were joined by Dean Lewis of Penn sylvania and Congressman Gardner of Massachusetts, who, at mention of the colonel's name, exclaimed: "You'd better send for him right away, the troops can't make any headway with their general so far off!" Whether that is the. correct reason or not, it seems to describe the situ ation correctly viewed from that side of the field. By tomorrow night the delegates will be almost to a man on vhe ground and the curtain rung up for the pre lude. . Fulton Expresses Views. Former Senator Charles W. Fulton, who is a member of the Oregon dele gation to the convention said: "Criticism of the part taken by Frank Hitchcock in reference to the movement for the nomination for Jus tice Hughes, are entirely uncalled for and unjusitified. Mr. Hitchcock like many other patriotic ncn in other parts of the country, has been and is endeavoring to secure the nomination of a typecal American citizen of posi tive type, whose standing and record commend him to the American people as a whole for the presidency. "This movement is not confined to any particular section of the country, through the efforts of Mr. Hitchcock and others, has been crystalized and is now of sufficient magnitude and cohesion to justify the conclusion that Justice Hughes will be nominated very early in the balloting. There is no jealously among the supporters of Justice Hushes, and the majority of ihrin recognize that an attempt is bring made to pound Justice Hughes over the shoulders of Mr, Hitchcock."

Dodge, jr., delegates to the republican na tional convention, left yesterday for Chicago to attend the big meeting. Mrs. Baldrige accompanied her hus band. The Omaha party joined thee Lin coln contingent at the Burlington depot. The special cars of the dele gation were attached to the regular train which left here at 6 o'clock. A third special car will carry the six teen delegates to t lie progressive con vention. Among those in the party leaving here were Seenator Elmer J. Burkett, candidate for the republican, nomina tion for vice president; A. K. Talbot, F. M. Hall, Don Love, John Dorgan, R. J.

Headquarters will be at the Con gress hotel in the Windy City, and many others aretxpected to join the party tomorrow. While a minority of republicans at the primary instructed the delegates for Senator Cummins of Iowa, it is pretty well known that most of the delegation favor Hughes and w ill vote for Cummins just as long as they deem it necessary, but will not con sider that a minority instruction holds them t follow instructions into a for lorn fight. It is understood that when the break comes that at least 12 will be for Hughes and four for Roose velt. Delegates of Rhode Island For Hughes Providence, H. I.. June 4.

SAYE ONLY A FEW HUNDREDS OF OF SHIP'S THOUSANDS Great Craft of War Go Down With Practically AH on Board in Terrible North Sea Battle. - BERLIN AND LONDON DIFFER Reports Contradict Each Other Con cerning Result of Fight of Fleets. BRITISHERS TAKE HEART AGAIN London, June 3. The latest reports from the Rritish fleet, from neutral vessels which witnessed parts of the great naval battle in the North Sea and from survivors, cause the llritish public to believe the engagement was not so near a defeat as at first re ported and in nowise a disaster. The Rritish losses, with all the craft en gaged accounted for, were three bat tle cruisers, three cruisers and eight destroyers. , The German losses are believed to have been about .the same number of ships, although of a much less aggrc-, gate tonnage. Rritish naval experts maintain that Great liritain continues to hold the supreme command of the sea by a safe margin and that its enormous navy could better afford the losses it suffered than could the smaller Ger man establishment. British Lose Over 4,000. The first reports of the heavy loss of life unhappily have not been re vised. Gr liritain mourns for more than 4,0(K) ... its best seamen and the whole nation is oppressed with sad ness, which is reflected in the faces of all the people of London. It is esti mated in London that the German losses in men are nearly as great. There were some 6,000 men on the ships which sank, and only a few hun dred have been saved. The horrors of modern naval warfare, far exceed ing those when wooden ships fought and continued to float even when they ceased to be fighting units, were real ized to their utmost. From five of the largest ships which went under with a complement of more than 4,000 men, only seven junior officers and a few seamen were rescued. Rear Admiral Lost. Rear Admiral Horace Lambert Hood, second in command to Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, and Cap tains Sowerby, Cay and Prowz were lost with many others whose ;iames are not yet. known, because the gov ernment has not so far issued any casualty list. There were no sur renders, and the ships which went down carried with them virtually the whole crews. Only the Warrior, which was towed part way from the scene of battle to a British port, was an exception. Of some thousand men on the Queen Mary, only a corporal's guard is accounted for. The same is true of the Invincible, while there are no sur vivors reported from the Indefati gable, the Defense or the Black Prince. It is impossible to visualize any coherent story of the great battle, which lasted many hours, with the different units at times fighting scat tered engagements. Reports Disagree. The British and German reports contradict each other flatly on the main fact. The British assert that the German fleet retired when the British battleships appeared, while the German official statement main tains that the German forces were in battle with the entire Rritish fleet. The British assert that they had only two divisions engaged and that all the units of these were not able to parturiate in the fighting, and, fur. thermore. that Admiral Sir John Jell coe, commander of the grand fleet, remained in the area of the- battle after the Germans bad retreated and swept it thoroughly in search of enemy ships ami survivors.

CIGAR STORE MAN SHOTJY HOLDUP Goldberg Resists Fair and He Is Now in Hospital With Bullet Wound. ONE OF , MEN IS ARRESTED H. Goldberg, proprietor of the cigar store at 315 South Seventeenth street, was shot in the right thigh while re sisting an attempted holdup in his store shortly after midnight. Goldberg, according to his state ment, was about to close his store when two men entered, one of whom ordered him to hold up his hands. Goldberg grabbed the gun. The gun was discharged, the bullet burying it self in the storekeeper's thigh. As soon as the men found that the proprietor had been shot they both fled, one going south to the alley, the other north to Farnatn street and thence to Sixteenth street, where he was captured. Goldberg dragged himself to the front door of the store and began calling for help. Ired Dworak of the Wellington Inn, heard Goldberg's cries and came to his rescue. Calling another man to attend Goldberg, Dworak ran to the street in pursuit of the holdup men. He overtook one and asked him if he had seen any one running down the street from the direction of Seventeenth street. The ntan immediately replied that he had and stated that the man weut north on Sixteenth street. Suspicious, Dworak took hold of him and led him back to the scene of the holdup. Goldberg identified the man as the one that attempted to rob him and had him placed under arrest. Gold berg was taken to the hospital where the bullet was extracted. His injuries i arc considered serious. The man ar- I rested i.s Frank Roberts of Kansas i City, according to the police.

BRITISH DECLARE GERMAN LOSSES ARE THE LARGER tites That Claims of Berlin to Victory in North Sea Fight ( Are False. EVIDENCE STILL INCOMPLETE A.imiralty Says Two Teuton Dread naughts and Two Battle ships Lost. MANY SMALLER CRAFT SUNK London, June 4. A statement is sued tonight by the British admiralty, confirming previous accounts of the battle between the British and Ger man fleets, reiterates that the Ger man accounts of the German losses are false, and that although the evi dence is still incomplete, enough is known to justify stating that the Ger man losses were greater than the British, "not merely relatively to the strength of the two fleets, but abso lutely." There is the strongest ground for believing the statement says that the German loises include two battle ships, two dreadnaught battle cruisers of the most powerful type and two of the latest light cruisers, in addition to smaller crafe, including a submarine. London, June 3. There is no great disparity in losses as it first appeared in the British and German reports, ac cording to British admiralty officers, who claim that latest admiralty re ports show that two German battle cruisers went down, while London announces the receipt of a wireless dispatch, from Berlin carrying an ad mission from the German admiralty that another German battleship, in ad dition to the l'ommern, was sunk. . Berlin has issued no further state ment oPGerman losses, which initi ally were given as one battleship, two light cruisers and several de stroyers. Estimate of Losses. Revised British reports give the losses as follows: British: Three battle cruisers (Queen Mary, Indefatigable and In vincible); three armored cruisers (De fence, Black Prince and Warrior); about a doaen destroyers and one submarine. Germany: Two battleships (West falen and l'ommern); two battl cruisers . unnamed; . four light cruisers (including the Wiesbaden, Elbing and Frauenlob); six destroyers and a submarine. The British i admiralty in addition has admitted that the battleship Marl borough was struck by a torpedo, but declared she was towed safely into port. It denies the German claim that the dreadnaught Warspite was sunk, although conceding that she was dam aged by gunfire. Germans Elated. The Germans are greatly elated at the outcome of the engagement in which their main fleet under Admiral Scheer met the British, whose main fleet, they assert, also was engaged. That the Germans held the field after the battle is shown, they declare, by the fact that the Germans picked up survivors of British warships that went down. London officially denies that ths grand fleet was in the action. The battle cruiser squadron which is re ported to have rushed between the Germans and their base, seems to have borne the brunt of the fight. Eleven British battleships eventually went into the battle, it is admitted, but of these several are declared to have been only partly engaged.
