BRITISH SKIPPER MAKES A HIT He Turns the Table on Bnrr and Se cures the Windward Berth Lip ton Acknowledges the Race " Today Is But a Formality. POOR PROSPECT FOR RACE TODAY. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. At 12:30 this (Tuesday) .morning- the triad at Sandy Hook was very light, the eky cloudy and the sea calm. NEW YORK, Aug. 3L Again today the beautiful cup-defender Reliance failed to register her third victory over the Llpton jhallenger because the -wind died to noth tag, and the time limit of 5 hours ex plred before she could reach the finish line. Her margin was annroxlmatelv the mm as on Thursday last. 'She -was less thag cau. a. jnue irom tne nnisn wnen the gun sounded. The Shamrock In was a faint blur on the horizon fully 24 miles astern. The Reliance's failure to score the race was the more exasDerating because her ultimate triumph is now conceded, even by Sir Thomas himself, to he simply a lormallty. The superiority of the Her reshoff boat in any kind of weather is acknowledged by the yachting critics of both sides of the Atlantic, and today's fluke only prolongs the agony of the con test that has already been decided. The waning interest in the cup races was strikingly illustrated by the size of the observation fleet, If the ships which went down to the ocean race course todav could be dignified by such a title. Outside of the revenue cutters which patrolled the course. It consisted of half a dozen tugs and a score of steam yachts. Sea Is, Q,ulte Roach.

It was laid 15 miles to windward up the Long Island shore and return. Tt eaving feature was the start. In which waptain wnnge, by a pretty piece of maneuvering, neatly turned the tables on the Yankee skipper and captured the windward berth. Even so, the yachts crossed the line abreast like a harnessed team, of horses. But, within 15 minutes, the defender was showing her heels to the challenger, and when the float at the outer mark was reached, she rounded it 20 minutes and 23 seconds ahead of her rival In the five times the boats have met, this was by far the worst beating Sham rock JII has sustained in windward work. The only interest which remained after that was whether the Reliance would be able to reach the finish line In time to score the raco. The racers waited nhmit Snndv tx,.v Hghtship until 10:45, when the Navigator signaled that the smarting line would be eblf ted, and the race postponed until later in the day. After running five miles south .from the lightship, the Navigator signaled a windward and leeward course, east northeast, from which direction a flve knot wind was blowing. The easterly gala had left a long, heavy sea running, and as the yachts jockeyed about the starting line, they lifted their long bows high out of the water on top of the swell and pounded the sea into a froth. Barr Is Outgeneraled. For the first time of the series, Cap tain TVringe, of the Shamrock, cleverly outgeneraled the redoubtable Captain Barr in the preliminary Jockeying. Until Ave minutes before the start. Captain Barr held the windward berth. Then both ran away from the line, the Shamrock leading. Two minutes before tho starting gun, the Shamrock headed up Into the wind, tacked, forced tho Reliance to do the same, and both ran for the line, the Reliance leading. They reached it before the starting gun, and the Reliance had to run along the lee side of it to await the gun. The Shamrock reached the line as the gun sounded, and, not having tho sheer off, secured the weather position. It was a trick which. Captain Barr had worked often, but never with better finesse or more satisfactory result. The official starting time of both yachts was 11:45:26. ine first tack, five minutes after cross ing the line, put the Shamrockahead. but under the lee bow of the Reliance!

They held on one tack, east-southeast, for nearly an hour. During that time the defender worked up to windward a good quarter of a mile. When the Reliance tacked the Shamrock III refused to follow, so Barr put his craft on the port tack again. This placed the Reliance a mile north of the Shamrock III. Fifteen min utes later the wind suddenly shifted to the northeast and placed the American boat that distance dead to windward, not half of which she' had actually earned. From that time the Reliance gained stead ily. The yachts could head within two points of their course. They held the tack for 20 minutes and then made short hitches in which the Reliance steadily got the better of it. When off Long Beach at 1:45 the. de fender was two miles ahead, having added the second mile by literally outpointing the challenger and at the same time main taining equal speed. The mark was then in plain view and tho wind softening. After a long beat off shore the Reliance made' short hitches which brought her to the turn.

GREAT CONFLICT IS ON (Continued from Tirst Page.) ty.the committee, though individual mem bers of the committee showed they were opposed to the plan. Later, the employers were asked If they would agree to recog nize the Teamsters' Union if their or ganization were recognized. They also refused this compromise position. The teamsters want to be free to work for anyono who will recognize their own union and pay the wages they demand and the employers Insist that If further advances of wages are ever demanded, merchants will put on their own delivery teams. In speaking before the employers this afternoon the representatives of the team sters did not hesitate to declare thnt th would call all the unions affiliated with the Washington Central Labor Union to their assistance in making a fight against the employers. On the other hand, they prom ised the support of these unions in keeping the teamsters in line if their demands were met. , If the' teamsters go out and the Western Central Labor Union stands with them, this situation may be met: That the car penters, plumbers, metal polishers, clerks and all other unions will refuse to handle goods or materials hauled by nonunion men. The first affected would be the building trades, but eventually all would feel the effect of a sympathetic strike movement. This would tie up Seattle com pletely. There are between COO and 700 members of the Teamsters' Union alone Involved in the controversy. Aslc for Sympathetic Help. The Western Central Labor Union to night agreed to ask all unions to refuse to handle goods Hauled by nonunion tpam sters. A special committee of five will go before a meeting of the Building Trades Council tomorrow evening -to ask the unions affiliated with that organization to take the same position. As many of the building trades are affiliated with the Western Central, it Is probable they will agree to the programme, though the car penterslmay prove a stumbling-block. The carpenters had a quarrel with the Western Central and drew out of that organization some time ago. There was some talk In the Western Central's meeting 'tonight of .a general sympathetic strike, but strength did not develop for this movement, though a de cision not to handle goods hauled by non union men has the same effect. The clerks' and painters' Unions let it be known rath er plainly that they did not propose to J iiucsusuia ana learn now their goods reached them.

WAR APPEARS SURE Turkey and Bulgaria May Clash at Any Moment , CONDITIONS WILL FORCE STEP A'elther Xatlon Is Expected to De clare Hostilities, hut' the Know in? Ones Hold Only a Miracle Can Prevent Them. SOFIA, Aug. 31. In both official and rev olutionary circles the opinion is freely held that war between Bulgaria and. Turkey is imminent, and can be averted by nothing short of a miracle. It is not expected either government will formally declare hostilities, but that the prevailing con ditions will force on a war. There is no question that large numbers of Insurgents have recently crossed the frontier. An extensive outbreak in North ern Macedonia is probable at any time. The Autonomy prints a telegram from Constantinople declaring that the Sultan, Influenced by the counsels of Germany now favors war with Bulgaria. The Turks here, however, take an optimistic view. asserting that there is no danger of a war, as Turkey does not desire one, and Prince Ferdinand and the present Bulga rian government are not In a position to force hostilities.

His Government Not Responsible for Any of the Disasters. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Cheklb Bey, the Turkish Minister, had a long inter view today with Secretary Hay. He re fused to discuss the "interview, stating that he had nothing to communicate fur ther than what appeared in the Associated Press dispatches yesterday afternoon. Afterward Secretary Hay visited the Navy Department.

Cheklb Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish government had done noth ing wrong, and would use every endeavor to protect American citizens residing in Turkey, and said the Turkish gov ernment was not responsible for any of the disasters that had occurred. Secretary Hay's call upon Acting Sec retary Darling was for the purpose of as certaining the whereabouts of the Euro pean squadron, and also what its orders are. . xhere is no intention of changing any orders at present especially as the ships cannot be reached untiFtfiey arrive at Beirut. No messages of Importance have been received from Mr. Leishraan today. Late dispatches from Minister Leish man give in detail the conditions in Tur key, and do not differ materially in tone from those previously sent. Minister Leishman does not, as reported in some quarters, request the withdrawal of tho American ships from Turkish waters. While reports by way of London state that no attempt was made upon tho life of Vice-Consul Magelssen, official advices so far received show that such an at tempt was made. The present status was known before the ships left Genoa, and this Government did not decide to change the orders. It Is now stated, however, that should there be a calm and peace ful condition at Beirut when the shins arrive there, the matter of sending them to anotner port will be considered and possibly adopted. The Turkish Minister made no request upon Secretary Hay at the Interview today regarding the move ment of United States warships, and nothing in this matter was promised by the State Department. Some Question has been rnlspd n tn whether Chekib Bey is an actual Minister of Turkey, because his credentials hnv not been presented and he has not yet been officially received as Minister by the President. No point is made by the State Department on .this account and Rprrptiin' Hay considers Cheklb Bey as the Minister 01 xurKey to tne United States.
