RACE TOMORROW FOR AMERICA'S CUP Sandy Hook, N. J., July 19?Speculation above and below decks of the America's cup racing: fleet at anchor today in the horsehoe centered upon the successor to Captain William P. Burton, whom Sir Thomas Lipton plans to resign as skipper of the cup challenger. Sir Thomas and Captain Burton have had several talks on the matter and Captain Burton still continues as skipper of the challenger though the announcement that he has been succeeded in command may be expected at any time. Captain Albert W. Turner, sailing master of the Lipton cup sloop, who had the wheel of the Shamrock when she made some of her gains in Saturday's race, was being talked of today as Shamrock's new skipper, It was said that Captain Turner would be given the wheel tomorrow and that Captain Burton would sail on the Challenger, though he would not handle the tiller, but this was not confirmed. Sir Thomas has not said who would succeed Captain Burton but has told his friends that he likes Designer Nicholson. Colonel Duncan of the Neill, Sir Thomas' representative on the Shamrock and Captain Alfred Diaper of the 23 meter Shamrock, are also under consideration it is understood for the Shamrock's wheel. No information could be otained as to whether Mr. Burton would continue as time keeper of the Shamrock. Crew members with superstitious tendencies believe a woman should not sail on cup racing yacht. Sir Thomas Lipton his friends and advisors on cup matters on the steam yacht Victoria today, have all confidence in the ability of the cup challenger to defeat the Resolute. Sir Thomas' friends say that with a stout wind Shamrock should show her heels to Resolute which may have trouble with her top hamper and rig ging in heavy weather and that in light airs in which the defender shows to best advantage the Resolute cannot complete the course within the time limit of six hours. The mainsail of the Resolute has been re-cut at the sailmakers at City Island and will be bent on this afternoon. It was r.ew sail and showed signs of stretching after the wetting in last Thursday's rain squail. The stay sail of Shamrock has also been recut. The race tomorrow will be over a thirty mile triangular course, ten miles to a leg. Saturday's triangular contest having been called off because the sloops could not finish, the , rules provide that the race should be re-sailed on the next suceeding ] race day. 1 Sandy Hook, N. J., July 19.?Sir i Thomas Lipton would not say this , evening what developments might he l expected after tomorows race with 1 the American defender Resolute for the Americans cup, nor would he deny , he and his advisors on the steam 1 yacht Victoria had virtually decided ' to remove Captain Burton from the Tiller of the cup Challenger after Saturday's contest, in which Captain Burton's handlin of the Lipton craft had been severely criticized. Sir Thomas was somewhat pertprbed when he read in the newspapers of plans for supplanting Captain Burton. "Captain Burton will be at the 1 wheel tomorrow, I understand," said Sir Thomas this afternoon." After 1 that I cannot say, and, of course. I will not talk about it.' It was the general belief aboard the Victoria today that Captain Burton had asked for another chance to 1 sail the challenger and that it had ^ been granted him. Captain Burton could not been seen. ? t ^ I * BOARD WILL PASS a ON WAGE AWARD \ Chicago, July 10.?The first grand council for more than a year, of executives, general chairmen and general committeemen of the sixteen recognized railroad brotherhoods s opened in Chicago today to pass upon c the wage award of the railway labor j board.

According to union rules all questions of a wage increase must be submitted to a referendum vote of the entire membership of the unions, but it was pointed out today that the call for the grand council stated the purpose of the gathering to be "to consider and pass finally upon the award made by the board." Under these conditions it was not known whether the board's award would be submitted to a referendum or whether final action would be taken by the union chiefs in session here. Leaders today declined to comment upon the matter. In connection with the decission of a probable referendum it was pointed out that a vote by the entire membership of the brotherhoods would require a month or more and that many union leaders were op Womei 3, 4:30 and Ladies attending at Si Complete The Moral (Jp Al The Bitter Based on Doct( why this celebrate Th< NOTICE?The be shown strictly 1 MOTH! posed to this delay in the final acceptance or rejection of the award.

Heberling, president of die Switchmen's Union of North \merica, declared last night that if t was decided that the award was unsatisfactory "concerted action would ie taken by the sixteen brotherhoods."

The demands range from 25.3 per cent for shopmen, to 66.4 per cent for maintenance of way employes.
