Sir Thomas Lip-ton's cup challenger. Shamrock was warred alone-side the dock of a So'Jth Brooklyn ship yard this morn nit and workmen beg-an to remove the ketch-r under which the bisr sloop had sailed most of the way of her long voyage from England to this country. Captain Turner, sai'ing master of the Shamrock, said the voyage from Bermuda to ttv.s port had been Ihout incident, and that he had not sighted any hostile war vessels on the way. Sailing master and crew were greatly dlsappo nted because the cup yacht racrs would not be sailed this year. They insisted that the Shamrock was in excellent shape to give a good account of herself.

It is understood that Sir Thomas' yacht Erin, which conveyed the Shamrock, sent a wireless message today to the Oerman-owned wireless stat on at Sayv lie, L. thanking the stat on for its unwitting assistance enabling the Shamrock to dodge German war craft. By picking up messages intended for German cru sers the Erin was warned of their proximity. LOG CF VOYAGE. Extracts from a log kept by on of the Erin's passengers on the way across teli of the dif jeuit es encountered during the voyage.

On July 30. when 24 hours out of Kay a I. the Shamrock and her convoy ran into a terrilic storm in the early morn ng, during witch the Shamrock's lights were ext nguished and she was lost to the Erin's view for 20 nutes. "It is a very different yachting picture, reads the log. "this hard wuid.

black night, rain and heavy seas in the midd" of the western ocean, to racing on the sunlit waters at Sandy. Hook or fhe Solent." Kor two days the storm raged, to be succeeded by a dead calm. Under date of August 4 the log cont'nues: "It is a gorgeous day. but we are all heavy-hearted at the news of England's being at war. We little thought as we passed through the fleet at Sp thead that the crews who cheered us would be fighting today.

We received a wireless message at night, giving us permission to tow the Shamrock all the way to New York on account of the war, but we could not give her the line for 20 hours afterward because of the wind and sea. Even then we were able to make only about three knots and the Shamrock asked us to go slower than that and to put oil on the water. Th's we did. AVOID GEILMAN CRUISER. "On August 5," the log says, "a wireless message' was rece ved ordering the Sham rock to the nearest friendly perr, tser-muda.

She reached Bermuda on Sunday evening, August 9. and found the islands under mart al law. Vessels in the harbor cheered the challenger and her convoy. There the party learned, for the first time, that the German cruiser Dresden was not far away. "The trio from Bermuda to Xew York was without incident further than a violent thunder storm, which came up suddenly on August 16.

So fierce was the storm that the Erin signaled the Shamrock to slip and picked her up again in the evening." Captain Turner said this afternoon that the Shamrock would not be rerigged, but would be hauled out boxed up and placed in winter quarters at once. TURTLE CREEK WINS.

to SARATOGA. Ausr. 17. On the eve of the state convention, the delegates tonig-ht were in a state of mingled excitement and confusion. No one knew what would happen when the convention opened.

Officially the purpose of the meeting- is to adopt a platform and select delegates at large to the constitutional convention. But the delegates took only an academic interest in these subjects. The real and abiding interest lay in the question of candidates for governor and United States senator. Most of the leaders were opposed to any action by the convention in the way of recommending any candidates for the primaries, on the. ground that it would constitute a violation of the spirit of the primary law.

Nevertheless, it was recognized that no legal barrier stood the way of such Indorsements, which would not be binding. If the convention should decide against indicating its choice of candidates, it wa-s felt that a common understanding might be reached, or, as some of the delegates put it, that "the word would go out." No encouragement in this direction came from the leaders. William -Barnes, state chairman," maintained his policy of saying nothing. Others at the council table of the party followed euit. The uncertainty as to what would happen and absence of the leadership of other days was a source of confusion among the rank and file, who at a loss what to do or what to expect.

In the way of official business little was done today. Work was continued by the committee of 30 on the draft of t'no platform for delegates to the constitutional convention. The committee definitely defeated a plan of Herbert Parsons of New York, which proposed that only the have power to appoint and summarily remove, without consent the Senate, the other state officials. Ohio Miners' Strike Threatens1 to Spread Local Official to Confer With Official Board of U. M.

W. WIIEiELING, W. Aug. 17. Ail hope of a referendum vote of miners of the fifth Ohio sub-district on the question of accepting a reduction in the scale of 47 cents having- been shattered by opposition of the local unions.

President C. J. Albasin has gone to Indianapolis for a conference with the official board of the Un ted Mine Workers. There is no of weakness on the part of the miners, only a hopeless minority favoring concessions in the scale, and as Tnany of the miners art-feeling the pinch of want. President Albasin will discuss with the XJnrted Mine Workers of America officials the advisability of calling out miners in other mines operated by owners of the mines in the fifth Ohio sub-district.

If this step is decided upon it will involve mines in the Pittsburgh district, in Indiana and in other parts of Ohio. Democratic Campaign Informally Opened The Democratic state nominees will spend the present week in visiting farmers' picnics in Eastern counties. The formal opening of the campaign will be withheld until early in September. Vance C. McCormick, nominee for governor, and William T.

Creasy, nominee for lieutenant governor, will attend the farmers' picnic in DeWitt park, Danville, Northumberland county, tomorrow and the following day will be present at the Kishacoquilias Valley railroad picnic in Belleville, Mifflin county. On Friday the party, with William N. McNair, nominee for secretary of internal affairs, will attend the Lebanon fair, in Lebanon. On Saturday A. Mitchell Palmer, nominee for United States senator, and the four nominees for congress-men-at-large.

Bright, Caton, Clark and Crosby, will join the party in attendance at the Lehigh county Democratic meeting in Schnecksviile. Oakland Celebrates At Lawn Concert Oakland night was celebrated last night at the Schenley lawn concert of the Pittsburgh festival orchestra under the direction of Carl Bernthaler, conductor. Several hundred persons were present. Following the concert there was a dance. On the concert program were several selections adjudged particularly praiseworthy by the audience, including the "Tannitauser" overture and the ballet "Queen of Pheba," by Gold-mark, fviiss Janet Mcllroy, violinist, and Miss Ruth iForney, contralto, each won favor.

17. "Xo compromise" was the slogan with which Colonel Roosevelt opened the political campaign in Massachusetts tuuay. He declared there should be rio compromise with reactionaries in any form, while on the other hand the party would welcome those of the rank and file of other organizations who refused to follow the old leaders-j The men who were responsible for the Payne-Aldrich bill, he asserted, are also responsible for the present tariff measure and should be opposed: Colo.iel Roosevelt's speech was to have been delivered at a Progressive rally and field meet at Fenway park, but rain drove the crowd to shelter the arena. Speaking of what he termed the permanent problem of Massachusetts, Mr. Roosevelt said: The problem must be, so far as it concerns the great industries in which the immense majority of wage workers are engaged, to combine efficiency, with the nroner sharintr of the rewards Of that efficiency.

There will be no rewards lor anyooay, no adequate wase mr mej woiKingman, no proper service to tne public, unless the business pays. "A business run at a loss will have to shut its doors. No prosperity can be passed around until the prosperity exists. The main ement in the success of any business muat be efficiency and the wage worker must do all in his power to contribute to this efficiency. But the wage worker who, by his efficiency, adds to the productivity must have that added efficiency recognized In Increased wages.

The benefit must in part accrue to him exactly as it in part accrues to the man who furnishes the capital, without wtiicn the business could not go on, and in part to the general public. "fo in every business it must be recognized that there are those three interests; and each one of those interests must receive justice. Public opinion must recognize this fact; and government, which in this country is based on public opinion, must also recognize it and endeavor to secure its practical realization." Delivery of Liquor By B. 0. Enjoined Court Lays Upon Railroads Responsibility for Identity of Consignee.

F-AITIMOXT, W. Aug. 17.
