Sandy Hook, N. J., July 15. The
America's Cup defender, Resolute, was
leading Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger,

tional yacht races today.
The yaclrjs had been sailing two
hours. At 1 :43 p. in. Shnmrock went
nbout on the port tack nnd headed in
hore, while the Resolute continued on
the starboard tack. It was nothing more
than a drifting match, in whlch'both
dippers used reaching jibs to catch tho
uncertain air.
After a short tack ,to port, Shnmrock
came about ngain on the stnrboard tack
and followed in the wake of Resolute,
which slid along a little faster than the
inallcnEPr.

KEEN BATTLE AT START
By LAWRKNCE PERRY
Njw Xorit, JiUy 15. Up to 1:40
o'clock this afternoon, considering time
nltowance, and the leading position of
Resolute, tho challenger in the first of
tho great International yacht races
looked like a beaten boat. But, of
course, this was only nn Impression.
Many things arc likely to happen in a
yacht race only a third completed, but
Resolute seemed to have a lighter move
ment through tho water, whereas Sham
roclt acted ns though she were u hit
sluggish.
Clohehauled on the stnrboard tack.
Resolute crossed the line alienil oi
Shamrock nnd to windward' of her nt
12:00:40 o'clock, ..official time, this
afternoon.
Shnmrock was officially timed at
12 :01 :38. . .
The Reijoliitc'B time allowance is six
minutes forty seconds.
Until tlio start the wind had held true
from 'the southwest nnd the regatta
committee of the New York Yacht Club
signaled a courso which would give- the
racers n windward leg fifteen miles
southwest by south.
But not live minutes after the sloops
had crossed the line, a tcrrilic rain
storm broke over the oconu and tire wind
veered to tho northwest, for the time
being, throwing Into the discard nil the
skillful sailing which Charles Francis
Adams, the Rcsoliite'a skipper, had em
ployed in gaining the advantage while
jockeying for the stnrt.
At 12 ;10 the wind had backed around
to the west and not even the most
gifted weather forecaster wiih able to
say what it might finally do. There was
every indlcntlon, however, that the In
tention to give the yachts a leg dend-to-windward
was frustrated. What seemed
likely was that the rncers would be able
to fetch the first mark with the wind
abeam, nlthough there was also the like
Hhood that tlw wind might go buck to
its original south by west trend nnd
thus fulfill the hopes of the regatta com
mltteo. . .
Change conditions as they might,
however. Resolute held the advantage.
This advantage was gained by virtue
of much better handling of the defender
in the jockeying for thn more fnvorablo
position from which to cross the Hue.
Resolute Crew Faster
rri.i. nnniiiui ..nt- nlnni to the handling
of the sloops by the rivnl skippers, but
to the more expeditious work of the
Resolute's men in unnuung iu
sheet nnd the headsall tdiects.
Shnmrock may have been playing s y
in expectation that the wind would
shift to tho northwest, ns, in truth, it
eventually did, knowing. In that event
with the wind coming from astern, she
would be Hi a better position tlinn the
Resolute. But this Is merely giving the
challenger the benefit of an extremely
largo doubt. For how cpuld imy one
have surmised that a wind- that had
held true all day would have backed
around as it did? The chances are
largely Unit the Shnmrock yielded per
force the honors of tlio start.
It wns us interesting a battle as one
could have wished to witness until
within five minutes of the stnrt, when
Shamrock gave over her efTorts to com
bat for the windward berth and tacked
astern of tho defender.
Brisk Fight for Tosltion
When tho Resolute reached the Am
brose cluinnel light vessel nt 11 :.'I0
o'clock well In advance of tho Sham
rock, tho conditions which hud obtained
nil morulas hud undergonn almost u
complete change. The wind had light

DRIFTING FOR FIVE YEARS
A life-jacket, silent remembrance, of
the tragic sinking of the Lusltauia

of faded' blonde hair, has been nicked

Preventing Harmony
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Copvrloht, 1910, bu PubHo Ledaer Co.
Chicago, July 15. Parley P. Chris
tensen, of Salt Lnke City, was nomi
nated for the presidency nt 2 :25 o'clock
this morning by the Farmer-Labor
party. This was done nfter Senator
Ln Folletto twice refused to become the
candidate of the radical party and after
the more conservative members of the
Forty-eight had Withdrawn from the
hnll to hold a convention of their own
today nnd discuss placing another ticket
in the field.
Max Hayes, of Cleveland, n member
of the Typographical Union nnd of the
executive council of the American-Federation
of Labor, was named for Vice
President by acclamation.
In addition to ChristcnRen, nenry
Ford, Dudley Flcjd Mnlone, Louis F.
Post, assistant secrctnry of labor;
Herbert Blgelow, Senator La Follette,
Jane Addams, Eugene V. Debs and
Lynn Frazier were put lu nomination.
The list of candidates was finnlly nar
rowed down to two, Christensen nnd
Mnlone, and Christensen beat Malone
by n vote of 102.5 to 174.(1.
Nominee Counsel for I, W. W.
Christensen and Mnlone were both
member of the Forty.-elght.couvcntion,
but both affiliated" with' la'lior," being
members of lubor organizations. Chris
tensen is a former Republican and Pro
gressive ; he has ucted us counsel of the
I. W. W.'in Utah.
The iiumc adopted by the convention,
the Farmer-Labor party, is largely u
misnomer. There is very little of "the
farmer in this party, the Idea of unit
ug the radical farmers and radical
labor in n single party has failed.
Arthur C. Tnwnley, head of the Non
partisan League, lias announced from
.Minneapolis that his organization would
have nothing to do with the third partv.
The Nonpartisan Lenguc imitated Ln
Follette nnd watched the movement. If
there had been promise of nuv con
siderable strength the league without
lonnnlly amalgamating with the third
party would have supported it quietlv.
The lcaguo would be greatly strength
cued by nn alliance with a movi meut
extending into industrial states, but
tliis movement is not big enough. It is
nothing more than the left wing of the
American Federation of Labor, which
wns not strong enough even to offer i
auuiiiuie against Hamue '(iomners ut
Montreal.
Farmers Hold Aloof
Mr. Unmpton. leader Mif the more
r ... f..rm .,, ..... ,.l,il, .
eludes many of the tenant fanners, took
tlio platform yesterday ufternoon at tho
Farmer- Labor couyention in behalf of j
the so-called La Follette platform sup-
pmted by the Forty-eight. This indi-i
cntes that his organization will also re- j
fuse to go alonfj .with this labor move-1
inent.
The only out-and-out supporters of
the Christensen ticket among the farm
ers appeared to be the Nonpartisan
League of Soutli Dakota, which Is much
more radical than the league of which
Townley Is the head and which is not
espi'i hilly strong In its own state.
It developed in the convention that
labor and the rndical farmers hud very
little in common. The farmers are
rndical only where their own iuterests
ate concerned, nnd they have very lit
tle sympathy with the desire of labor
to control Industry through working
men's organizations.
Tho third party movement broke up
because it was impossible. It Is doubt
ful if the farmers nnd the Labor party
can ever be united into a single party.
Tin- Labor party Viglnnlly demanded
the nationalization of laud. They yield
ed this in order to nttract certain sup
port on the farm to their ticket. But
theii' demand for it shows the clash of
interest between themselves mid the
farmers. The farmers are capitalists
regarded with little sympathy for in
dustiial radicalism.
Tend Toward Socialism
This experiment here probably marks
tho end of any effort to get the working
men of the cities and the farmers into
one political movement. The farmer
movement tends to become conservative
after the fanners have accomplished
their own purpose of controlling grain
elevators and the means of distribution
of their products. The Labor partv
movement is In the hnnds of Socialist's
and tends toward socialism.
The third purty movement failed also

the allied demand and that a wrlttea
note would be forwarded immediately '
The foreign minister said that' by tils

the conditions laid down until it lacked ,
but a few moments of the noon hour.
Hcrr Simons said today that the

Premiers Discuss Conditions

ter, aud then took a recess until 3:1.0

No announcement wns made as to the
Allied attitude with regard to the Ger-,(

that the chief question was whether
Germany should receive the difference
in cash between the price of coal at
the pit mouth lu Germany and the world

appeared, were unwilling to pay Ger
many wlint would amount to fifty francs
n ton dtffeienco in the price between
