NE ,V YORK, Xov. 16.—The repub
lican party is to be reorganized. It
is to be shaken up thoroughly. The
biggest internal tight for co itrol of
the party machinery the G. O. P. has
known is impending.
While republican chieftains public
ly are still announcing doubt in Wil
son’s election, they are counselling on
on the basis that for the second time
in eight years the party has gone to
defeat. As was the case four years
ago, it went into defeat because not
enough progressives could be attract
ed to its fold.
Four years ago the old guard held
complete sway. In this campaign the
old guard and the progressive faction
tried a co-partnership. The question,
why wasn’t the partnership success
ful ? furnishes a basis for the fight
for reorganization.
Wheel Horses Not Pleased.
It is no secret that such wheel
| horses of the old guard as former
Senator W. Murray Crane, of Massa
chusetts, and Boles Penrose, of Penn
sylvania, have felt dissatisfied with
the management of the campaign just
ended. The dissatisfaction Was b^sed
first on the fact that Frank Hitch
! cock, whom they regard as neither
fish, flesh nor fowl, “put over Hughes
j at Chicago last June.
Second, Hughes chose William R.
Willcox, of whom the rank and file
l of republicans had never heard and
1 whose standing as a practical organ
izer they regarded as amateurish, as
i national chairman.
Third. A. T. Hart, another
mi
Known,' was put in cnarge oi western
I headquarters at Chicago.
Fourth. Frank H. Hitchcock was
called upon for aid.
Fifth. More progressives were ap
pointed on the national campaign j
committee than the old guard thought
justified.
Sixth. Hughes showed his ancient j
independence of thought and action;
mapping out his course without heed
to what old guardsters wanted.
Progressives Complain.
There were other small points on
the other hand, the progressive fac- j
tion the following causes for com
plaint.
First. Hughes’ independence of
action.
Second. Hughes’ independence of
suggestion.
Third. “Wasting” of Roosevelt as
a speaker in some states of small ac
count in the electoral college.
Fourth. Failure of certain old
guardsters to co-operate whole-heart
edly in campaign plans.
The prospects were that there
would be no recriminations—but a
tremendous lot of underground activ
ity looking to control of the party
by one of the branches. As it looks
today there will be a three-cornered
fight for this control—George W.
Perkins in one corner; Frank- H.
Hitchcock in another, and the Old
Guird in the third. It will be $. fight
of three factions having political
brains about evenly matched—and
also three clever enough to realize
there must be no surface indications
of a fight for control to imperil the
party’s chances in 1920.
Speaking of four years hence, the
progressives are transferring a little
of their fond regard for Roosevelt to
the newest politcal wonder—Hiram
Johnson, of California—the man who
won the senatorship by nearly 300,
000 more votes than Hughes received
in a state which went democratic.
They think he is bound to be elected
in 1920.

' WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—A meth- j
od of salvaging ships sunk to a depth
of 200 feet has been invented by a
Brazilian, according to a report from
Consul General Gottschalk, Rio de
Janeiro, made public by the depart
ment of commerce.
The invention is the work of Dr.
Sylvio Pellico Portella, who claims it
is applicable to ships sunk at almost
anMklepth, so long as divers are able
tc^rcach them,and that is is effective
in putting a wreck afloat, no matter
what its position on the sea floor, the
report states.
The invention consists of a tender
of special model, which is equipped
with floats of waterproof material.
These are neatly folded, but later
when inflated with air they assume
all sorts of shapes—parallelelopipe
dons, spheres, cylinders, etc. They
are carried down by divers and attach
ed to various portions of the sunken !
vessel, with within and without, still ;
retaining their connection by means j
of hose with the tender ship. When |
all are properly fastened in place i
they are inflated by air pressure from I
above, like the tires of an automo- J
bile. As they swell they are said to |
gradually displace the water within !
and about the wreck, and by their
own buoyance they float it to the sur- j
f ace.
Two trials were given the invention, J
in both of which its practicability |
was clearly demonstrated, it was |
claimed. The great value of the !
method, it is claimed, lies in the fact
that it can be applied to vessels sunk
to a much greater depth than that at
which the old methods are capable of
operating, and that regardless of the
wreck's position Dr. Portella’s inven
tion is applicable, whereas heretofore
ships which have settled in any other
position than approximately an even
keel position have in most instances
been abandoned.
SEATTLE, Nov. 20.—Blown adrift
in a great southeast gale while an
chored 40 miles off Cape St. Elias
and compelled to fight for many hours
with terrific seas which threatened to
engulf their little craft at any mo
ment, the crew of the fishing schoon
er Killah May, 15 men all told, arriv
ed in Seattle last night from the
storm-swept Alaska coast, says the
Times.
Capt. W. Shade, master of the
schooner, in describing the many
hardships of the voyage, said that
the storm was the worst he had en
countered in all of his experience at
sea and said that it was little short
of miraculous that the little schooner
was not swallowed up by the great
seas.
“We were anchored about 40 miles
off Cape St. Elias when the storm
began,” said Captain Shade today.
“As the gale increased in velocity our
anchor carried away and with it went
about 250 fathoms of chain. When
the chain went overboard the port side
of the vessel was damaged and was
soon leaking at the forecastle head.
After some difficulty we got under
way and went behind Wingham isl
and, Controller bay, for shelter. When
the storm was over we proceeded to
the banks and began fishing.”
The Zillah May brought a catch
of 21,000 pounds of fresh halibut for
which 15 cents a pound was bid on
the Seattle halibut exchange today.
The cruise just completed by the
Zillah May is the first she has made
this year. The vessel has been used
in salving the wrecked schooner San
Jose, which was sunk near Cape Om
maney. After the San Jose was rais
ed she was towed to Seattle by the
Zillah May.
