GEORGIA CONTEST BLOW FOR HUGHES CHICAGO. June 2. The throwing out of the Hughes delegates from Georgia has made no impression on the Hughes leaders. They had expected that action, as it has been considered certain from the start that the national committee, although anxious to be conciliatory, intended to tupport all delegates who had the backing of the local machines. The Georgia delegates who were seated had the backing of Henry S. Jackson, national committeeman from that state. It was pointed out that even though the seating of the Jackson representatives was a loss on paper to Justice Hughes, it was by no means a gain for Roosevelt, inasmuch as Jackson and his followers are uncompromisingly anti-Roosevelt. They will vote for Root on the initial ballot, but will go to the candidate that seems most likely to win when the real test comes. The national committee continued Its work today of listening to the remaining contests. There still are to be disposed of the following: Louisiana Four delegates-at-large and eight congressional districts. Mississippi The Third congressional district. Missouri The eleventh congressional district. North Carolina The delegates-at-large and the Tenth congressional district. Oklahoma The Fifth and Sixth congressional districts. South Carolina The First. Fourth and Seventh congressional districts. URGES STANDARDIZATION IN MUNICIPAL REPORTS SYRACUSE, June 2. Until standard units are adopted it will be impossible for one city to know whether it is getting as much for its money as its sister cities. A. Prescott Folwell toll the Municipal officials of New York state at this morning session of the Mayors Conference. He urged the Empire State cities to use standard units in securing bids for and reporting the cost of public improvements. SWISS SPEND MILLIONS IN GUARDING FRONTIER WASHINGTON. June 2.

SAYS HUGHES MUST END SPYNX STUNT OR LOSE SUPPORT CHICAGO, June 2. When Governor Whitman, of New York, who is to make . the speech nominating Justice Hughes reaches here, with the New York delegation on Sunday, he will be told that if he personally can assure the delegates that his candidate will accept and will make the race on the platform that is to be adopted the success of the Hughes movement will be assured. But he also will be warned that if there has been no expression of his candidate's intentions when the convention gets down to business, many delegates who are willing to vote for him will transfer their strength to other men. Whitman already knows this. His secretary and personal representative, William Orr, is on the ground. He has communicated to the governor the anxiety of the leaders here to know jusi. where Hughes stands and it is believed thai he is now trying to smoke him out. NO WORD RECEIVED FROM MISSING MAN The disappearance of Harry M. Caine, of the grocery firm of Hockett & Caine, West Main street, is still a mystery to his family and friends. Caine disappeared last Tuesday evening after an automobile accident near Knightstown. It is believed that he has become mentally unbalanced. W. N. Hockett, his brother-in-law and partner in the grocery business, said today that no word has been received from any source which would help solve the mystery. Descriptions of the man have been sent to the police in many cities in the state. He was a man of slender build with a thin face and medium blonde hair. He weights about 130 pounds and is 5 feet 8 inches tali. He was wearing a grey suit when last seen. His wife and two children are stricken with grief over the sudden disappearance of the man and are unable to offer any probable explanation of the cause unless it is due to an unbalanced mind.

The mighty cry for preparedness, lifted in stentorian tones in New York several weeks ago, will find an echoing response in Chicago tomorrow. In no uncertain manner will the voice of Chicago be added to the general, nationwide clamor for more adequate national defense. What probably will be the greatest parade in the history of the United States will be started during the forenoon and continue throughout the day. Two hundred and fifty thousand persons, it is estimated, will march to the tune of etirring national airs through flag-bedecked streets. "Beat New York." "Beat New York!" That has been the goal of the Chicago managers of the demonstration, and from preliminary aspects, it seems assured that the monster procession tomorrow will eclipse Gotham's huge show. There will be little business attempted in the downtown districts. Merchants have enlisted . whole heartedly in the movement and all clerks and bookkeepers from practically every store in the Loop will be found in the marching ranks. The same will be true of banks, warehouses, offices in every place where business is conducted. Practically every organization benevolent, fraternal, protective, commercial, charitable, athletic, religious in the city will be represented by delegations, Hundred Bands Play. A hundred bands will be distributed through the long procession. Mayor Thompson and Governor Dunne, with city and state officials, will review the parade. Representatives ef all the big financial organizations of the city voted without a dissenting voice to march as one unit in, the parade. Be-

3BB9 of Pittsburg, will be active at the NEW YORK'S FOR PREPAREDNESS tween 4,000 and 5,000 men will be in j iine. j Among the organizations representj ed were the Bankers' club of Chicago, 1 the Cook County Bankers' club the I South Side Bankers' club, the NorthI west Side Bankers' club, the Farm Loan Bankers' association, the Bond Men's association and the Chicago Chapter or the American Institution of Banking. Chairman Chosen. B. C. Simmons, president of the Bankers club of Chicago, was chosen chairman of the bankers division of the parade, and Arthur Heurtley, secretary of the Northern Trust company, grand marshal. Marchers in the parade are asked to carry an American flag, 16 by 24 inches, with a 30-inch stock. MAYORS AT CHATTANOOGA TO DISCUSS DEFENSE CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 2. Mayors of nearly all the large cities are meeting here to discuss plans for national defense, and what they can do in a municipal sense to further preparedness. The convention was called here by Mayor Littleton, and mayors of other southern cities. Mayor Mitchell, of New York, is among those expected. WAGON HITS POST.

CHICAGO. June 2. While speculation as to the probable action of the unlnstructed delegates to the G. O. P. convention Is necessarily limited, because none of the big state delegations are yet on the ground and their national committeemen are not willing to speak for them, it is admitted even in the Roosevelt camp that Justice Hughes constantly is growing stronger. Claims made on behalf of the colonel that he will have the Weeks delegates after the first ballot were sharply contested by the Hughes men today. And their claims were backed up by the men who are closest to Senator. Weeks, who very frankly explained that the senator could not deliver his strength to any one if he so desired. The Hughes men claim they will have the Weeks delegates after the first vote and probably before. Senator Weeks has assured personal friends that it is his intention, if he sees that he cannot win, to personally release all of his delegates and suggest that they vote for whoever they believe can be nominated. And it is claimed here that Senator Lodge, Weeks' colleague from Massachusetts, has expressed the belief that the candidate who would stand the best chance of success at the polls is Justice Hughes. Just where the unlnstructed delegates are expected to stand was made clear today by National Committeeman Samuel Perkins of Washington state. He is a brother of George W. Perkins, tire Progressive leader, and will prove a real factor In the convention as the northwest states expect to act together. "We are for the man who can win in November," explained Mr. Perkins to the International News Service today. "The Republicans in my section of the country believe that the time has come when the party must get together."

CLAIM STUPENDOUS LOSS FOR GERMANS IN VERDUN BATTLE PARIS, June 2. The Matin states that the German losses since the battle of Verdun opened on February 21, must be at least 400,000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners. These losses have been heavier during the past fortnight of fighting than at any other time since the Teutons were attacking around Ft Douaumont in the first two weeks of the engage ment French guns have taken a heavy toll but the heaviest losses have been inflicted by the machine guns. Mo?t of tho casualties on the French fide have resulted from the incessaut shelling of the Germans. Cannonade Precedes. The cannonade of drum fire which preceded Thursday's attacks east of the Meuse was uninterrupted for twenty-six hours. All the time th: Germans kept not only the first but the second line trenches under fire, drenching the French positions with tons of steel. Pomeranian troops wer sent forward when the fire slackened, debouching from Chaffour woods but were mowed down in great numbers by French guns masked behind Cote De Froide and Hill No. 320. Even harder was the hammer blow which was struck simultaneously against the French trenches in Caillettes wood and south of Chapitre wood. The object of these assaults was to give the Germans possession of Fleury, south of Thiaumont farm and loss than a mile from Ft Souville, one of the works defending Verdun on the northeast After a heroic combat the French retired to their supporting trenches along a front of 1,000 yards, where the struggle is in progress now. If the Germans had been successful in their first rushes, they would hav endangered the whole line of the French northeast of Verdun. It is believed that the Russians and the British will soon launch offensive movements which will compel the Germany to lessen their pressure at Verdun. But the battle, so far as it has proceeded, has taught the people of the allied nations that the Germans are far from exhaustion and that they can strike blows now which are fully as vigorous as those driven home during the early days of the war. SEEK SAFETY FOR YANKEE TOURISTS i WASHINGTON, June 2. The Senate today unanimously adopted Sena- . tor Kern's resolution directing the i secretary of state to make inquirv l through consular officials as to the i safety of Americans in the revolutionj ary zone in Ireland to ascertain what ! steps if any are necessary to safe guard their lives. GREAT AVIATION FIELD OPENS NEAR NEW YORK NEW YORK, June 2.
