Candidates, poli cies, schemes nre- iu a state of flux. It is Impossible to predict ;-it is only pos sible to theorize. The air is surcharged with rumors. Principal among them Is thnt Governor Sproul is to take a hand in the Phila delphia situation. The rumor is not a new one. It was circulated in Harrisburg be fore the adjournment of the Legisla ture. The assertion was then made that the Governor was to act as media tor; that he would suggest a candidate upon whom all parties could unite. Fur thermore, that a gentleman in his offi cial family was to be the candidate for sheriff. I cite this as a sample rumor. Here are more : During the last week the name of Judge John II. Patterson has been freely' traded upon as the candidate of the Varo organization for Mayor. The' activity of the judge nt various func tions was alluded to as corroboration. He was in the limelight for a purpose.- Yesterday a counter rumor broke the political line. It was that in a very recent conversation with a personal friend Judge Patterson had stated that " """ " he had about decided not to consider ,he proposltion . that it wolll(1 jnvolve iuevitably tho formation of political . ... ... .... citmitics, some of them potential. Moreover, it would mean a continuous performance in the political arena with embarrassing situations, and, at the end of his term, he doubtless would meet the fate of nearly every other Philadel phia Mayor a dignified desuetude. As to Judge Patterson It is a realistic story, It sound plaus ible. Judge Patterson has high ambi tions, doubtless, that are more in har mony with his position as a jurist.

Charges thnt the President organized the Council of National Defense before war wns de clared in absolute violation of law and thereby created a "secret government of the Vnited States" which formu lated war legislation; dictated policies the country was to pursue, and be friended "big business," were made to day by Chairman William J. Graham, of Illinois, of the special House com mittee Investigating War Department expenditures. Minutes of the council were read to the committee by Mr. Graham, together with ti report in which he asserted the council assumed such broad nowers that Slajor General Goethals, former chief of tho purchase, storage and traffic division of the War Department, defied it : cabinet members protested against its activities, and Judge Gary, president of tl.bVtjKltfd States Steel Corporation, accused if oroperating in "flagrant vio lation of law." Mr. Graham declared the rresideut created "the secret government" by ig noring and reversing the intent of Con gress iu authorizing the establishment of a Council of National Defense in August, 101(1. As authorized by Con gress, hn said, the council was to be composed of six members of the cab inet, who were to be the real execu tive?, and seven civilians, to be selected by the President, who were to act in a purely advisory capacity. Instead of doing this, Mr. Graham asserted, the President made the advisory commis sion the real executives, "clothing them with unprecedented and almost illimit able powers."

Y.. July 7. Half an hour before the sun rNes tomorrow morning the giant British dirigible R-.l-l will enst loose from Roosevelt Field and speed into the enst, homeward bound from her historic flight across tlie At lantic. The official hour set by her com mander. Major G. II. Scott, is ii'a, m., hut it is admittedly dependent on the caprices of the weather, which lias so persistently interfered with the huge airship since she left her haven nt East Fortune. Scotland, Tuesday night. An unlooked for change in the weather will postpone the departure for nt least n day, as Major Scott has announced that no attempt w 111 be made to start on the niurij vu.iukc niicr me sun is up Wind Rips Envelope The 111 luck against which the super dirigible has so gallantly and success fully fought since she began her mem orable voyage pursnrd her up to today when a sudden violent gust of wind tore her from her mooring rope and rent a great hole six feet by three In her envelope. The accident, although not serious, confirmed the ' determination of her officers to stnrt for home at the earliest possible moment. In th great shed at her home port she is safe from the most violent storms, while her oppn-nir moor ing hrrr exposes her to danger from every strong wind. When the blimp ns swept by the gale the cross girder to which the moir ing rope wns attached broke under strain. The dirigible was saved from hehig blown away by .'100 men, who seized ropes, hanging from her sides, ami held her down with difficulty. Announced by Major Scott The definite announcement that the blimp would begin its homeward flight at fi a. m. tomorrow wns made at noon today by the commander. Major (!, II. Scott, who said that the aircraft would fly over Boston. TJie R-,14, he said, will not circle New York before turn4 ing cast. Major Scott announced later that an effort would be made to shape the R-.'M's course so that it would pass over the George Washington, which is bringing President Wilson home. The balloon's commander based his announcement of the stunting hour on tho assumption that the wind, which wns blowing at the time between twenty and twenty-five miles nn hour, would die down later in the day and so permit the refueling of the dirigible. To Cruise Over Boston "We will cruise over Boston," he said, "and then follow the transatlantic trade route. We nre selecting that course because there we will find the most favorable west wind. We hntl considered making our start, at 8 o'clock, but we have advanced the time because the earlier we get nway the lower the temperature, nnd the lower the temperature the greater amount of petrol we can load. We can put in 4500 gallons, which will give us nothi ing to play about with, but we do not expect to play about, as the wind vill be favorable," A Navy Department report from Washingtou late today, however, says weather conditions will be unfavorable for a return flight during the next forty" eight hours. The report said threaten" Ing weather would remain over the sea and that head winds probably would be" encountered us far east as Newfound Till 1 Ml land. The forecast, prepared by the, X',.
