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.

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. ?

day by early arrivals, but no statements
were given out as to what
work had been done.
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

posed to this delay in the final acceptance
or rejection of the award.
Samuel E. 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 wage increases asked by the
railroad workers of whom there are
nearly 2,000,00 would total more
than $1,000,000,000. The demands
range from 25.3 per cent for shopmen,
to 66.4 per cent for maintenance
of way employes.
WRECK CAUSES
CONGESTION OF TROOPS
Titcn Tsin, July 18.?Railway service
with Peking has again been interrupted
by a collison near Yangtiun.
As a result there is much congestion
of troop trains from Mukden.
\ repair train left Yangtsun Sunlay
and replaced the derailed engine,
)ut was unable to proceed further
lecause of congestion due to the arival
of Arifuite reinforcements.
The Peking-Tien Tsin line is single
racked, crossings being possible only
it stations. Haphazard running of
rains Dy inexperienced soldiers is
Jso aiding in the almost hopeless
onfusion. Nine trains are stalled
n one section alone near Yangtsun.
