SA.N' FRANCISCO. May 6. (Special.)
(Returns from Tuesday's primary elec
tion show a decisive victory for the Lincoln-Roosevelt
Lea Rile over the machine
forces directed by William F. Herrin, of
the Southern Pacific Company.
With 53 of the 67 delegates from San
Francisco, a. clean sweep in Fresno and
the San Joaquin Valley, a majority of
nearly three to one of the delegates from
Alameda- County, a majority in Los
Angeles County and an 11 to five victory
in Sacramento, the Lincoln-Roosevelt
League was overwhelmingly triumphant
in all the Southern I'aciflc machine strong
holds. Estimates based on tho returns from
smaller districts, where the League won
its flght for delegates, and on the per
sonnel of delegations from counties in
whicli the League had not perfected or
ganization, or in which primary elections
were not held, Indicate that League forces
wifl control the state convention. There
are at least 2S0 delegates definitely on
the side of the League. Added to these
are some BO who are divided delegations
and more than SO who are from neutral
counties, unpledged and unaffiliated.

THRONG WELCOMES FLEET
(Continued From Flrnt Page.)
and business houses were closed for the
day and everybody flocked to the hill
sides overlooking the gateway and the
harbor. More people came into the
city last night and this morning than
left during the .terror and homeless
days following the fire. It probably is
difficult for the people of the Central
and Eastern States to realize the en
thusiasm of the residents of this Coast
over the presence of the battleships
In Pacific waters.
All Else Is Forgotten.
All other subjects are lost to view.
The bitterness of political strife is for
gotten. The few remaining scars of
a city shaken and burned appeared
rose-tinted today in the Joy of the gen
eral celebration. A welcome sign
spelled In letters 50 feet high topped
the heights of Telegraph Hill. The
sun, which all morning long had been
obscured by heavy gray clouds, broke
through Just as the ships were pass
ing by the gateway and shone in noon
day brilliance on the pageantry of
fighting craft. Tonight the city is gay
with merrymaking and a long pro
gramme of entertainments plained in
honor of the fleet is well under way.
City's First Illumination.
Streets and buildings are illuminat
ed for the first time in the history of
the new city, many of the giant sky
scrapers that have risen upon the sites
of less Imposing buildings i destroyed
being outlined in a fire of electric
bulbs. The still crowded hills of the
city are flooded now and then In the
flash and play of scores of searchlights
trained from fighting tops and flying
bridges. Below them in the anchor
age grounds the illuminations of the
heaviest fleet ever assembled under
any flag make brilliant the waters of
the bay for thousands of yards around.
First Xlght's Programme.
Official dinners, band concerts and
a reception and ball at the Falrmount
Hotel with 5000 invited guests, are fea
tures of the first evening of the fleet's
stay. The days that are to come will
be crowded with a variety of enter
tainments for the men and officers of
the visiting squadrons.
The fleet threaded its way through
the crowded harbor, past the Islands
and ferry landings, and. reaching far
over to the Oakland shore, turned at
last when opposite Hunters Point, and,
pointing back toward the Golden Gate
to face the incoming tide, steamed
Blowly into anchorage formation.
Get Two Xew Recruits.
The battleships, having the right of
line, were first to let their anchors go.
The 16 veterans of the Atlantic cruise,
augmented by two "battleships recruited
here for the remainder of the trip
around the world the Nebraska and
the Wisconsin, occupy the two inside
lines of tlie four columns of ships now"
in the harbor. The armored cruisers
of the Pacific fleet have the line near
est the Oakland shore, while the little"
black destroyers of both the Atlantic
and Pacific flotillas are berthed close
in toward the San Francisco water
front. ,
The parade and the maneuvers were
made without the slightest hitch any
where, or tlie suggestion' of an acci
dent. The excursion fVet was kept
out of the warships' pathway by a
patrol of revenue cutters and all ferry
service was suspended during the
parade. .
Evans on the Bridge.
Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans,
commander-in-chief of the Atlantic
fleet and just now in command of the
assembled ships of both oceans, stood
on the after bridge of the Connecticut
as the famous flagship led the way
through the harbor's gate and until
she came to anchor at the head of the
battleship columns. His presence gave
a fitting touch to the close of the first
great stage of the cruise. His active
naval caj-eer Is to close on Sunday
next, when lie formally will be re
lieved from .command.
-Xo Functions for Him.
Both because of Illness and the
death of a favorite grandchild. Admiral
Evans will be unable to participate in
any of the functions planned In honor
of the officers. He probably will ride
at the head of the great land display
which Is to be made tomorrow with
more than 8000 bluejackets and ma
rines in line.
Always a harbor of picturesque
beauty. San' Francisco Bay today pro
vided a wonderful setting for the most
resplendent of the many marine pic
tures the white fleet has painted. The
flash of sun from behind the forbid
ding clouds of the misty morning gave
the finishing touch of sparkle and color
to the scene.
The Scene at Night.
The Atlantic ships lay at anchor all
last night off the San Francisco light
ship, with the twinkling lights of the
arallon Islands plainly in view. A
fog closed down during the dark and
was still hovering over the ships as
they got under way at 11 o'clock this
morning. The cleft in the rocky
coastal range marking the Tiarbor 'en
trance was not visible to the fleet as
tlie navigators laid their course toward
the waiting city. The thinning clouds
and the growing strength of the climb
ing sun soon wiped the mist away,
however, and, when four miles away
in the ocean, the ships came Into full
view of the thousands lining the
shores.
Throng Vantage Points.
To the north of the gateway. Mount
Tamalpals. raising its peak 2500 feet
above the sea, was crowded with the
early risers who had sought this place
of vantage to view the spectacle of the
fleet in miniature. Fort Baker, on the
Marin shore, with its 50-ton guns
mounted higher than any weapons of
similar weight in the world, also was
thronged with sightseers. Nearer the
entrance, the sloping Marin shores, all
tlie way from the heights down to Lime
Point marking the north point of the
inner gate, were fairly covered with
enthusiastic thousands who had come
down the peninsula from Napa and the
Redwood lands beyond.
To the south of the gateway from
the Presidio to the site of the famous
old Cliff House, the seal rocks and for
other miles along the surf-beaten
beaches, the divisions of the nrowd
that made up the estimated total of a
million onlookers were gathered in
great black patches which could bo
seen through the glasses eagerly

The cannon of the Presidio and of
Fort Baker boomed a National salute
of 21 guns as the Connecticut passed
within the headlands of the gate. The
compliment, never paid before by one
branch of .the service to the other,
was returned by the Connecticut amid
loud cheers by the people on shore.
The great white puffs of smoke belch
ing from the clif-hidden guns of Fort
Baker added another wonderful touch
to the day's enduring picture.
Devour It With Eyes.
As the ships passed Fort and Lime.
Points and entered the bay. the rolling
hills of the city lay to their right. On
all of these on famed Telegraph Hill,
Nob Hill. Russian Hill aojd all the others
of a hundred names the people of the
city and their hundreds of thousands of
visitors stood and stared. ,
They saw the splendid cruisers of the
Pacific fleet lift their anchors from be
hind Angel Island and slip carefully down
to the line marked out for the battle
ships and then as the visitors from the
Kast had passed, the West Virginia, flag
ship of Rear-Admiral Dayton, In com
mand of the Pacific fleet, turned skilfully
Into perfect alignment just in the' rear
of the Wisconsin, the last of the 18 bat
tleships stretching In a long line before
the- city. The West Virginia was fol
lowed by her seven sisters, by the
Charleston any by the torpedo craft of
the Western station. They took their
places 400 yards apart just as the battle
ships formed their column and there was
but one uneven rank in the far-flung col
umn. The cruisers never appeared to
better advantage than in contrast with
the battleships. The West Virginia
towered far above the Wisconsin and her
502 feet of waterline made the 368-foot
battleship look almost like a pigmy.
Handsomest in Xavy.-
The long cruisers, with their sky-reaching
masts and ' four buff funnels, are
without doubt the handsomest ships In
the Navy. Their lines are grace itself,
but their eight and ten-Inch guns would
be of little use against even a ship as
old as the Wisconsin, which, "Xith her
four 13-Inch turret weapons and 16 inches
of armor, could lie well without the cruis
er's range and pour destroying shot into
her vitals.
The ships, as- they sailed Into the bay,
were dressed only at the mastheads, big
American flaRS flying at fore and after
trucks and at the peak of the gaffs. The
blue flag of Admiral Evans, on the Con
necticut, was followed by red flags of six
subordinate Admirals, even Admiral Day
ton himself pulling down his blue flag
as Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific
fleet and substituting the ensign of red
as Admiral Evans' ship came into view.
Salute for Set-rotary.
Passing to anchor, the ships steamed in
review bafore Secretary Metcalf and the
Connecticut fired a salute of 17 guns.
When the last of the ships had fallen
Into the four long anchorage lines a sig
nal from the flagship sent tlie fluttering
line of rainbow flags flying to the mast
heads and the ships were at full dress
during the remainder of the afternoon.
t No class of citizens in the city were
most interested in the coming or the fleet
than the Chinese. The new pagoda-like
buildings that mark the present China
town were crowded with the residents of
that quarter during the time the fleet
was entering the harbor and the streets
are gay with lanterns and decorations
of lavish beauty. The Japanese residents
also gathered in large numbers on the
hillsides1 to see the pageant. They con
tributed nearly $3000 to the local reception
fund, to which the Chinese also were lib
eral subscribers.
After the fleet had anchored the Gov
ernment customs' launch Hartley put off
from Mission-street wharf, bearing
Mayor Taylor and the reception commit
tee to pay the city's official greeting and
proclaim formal welcome to Rear-Admiral
Evans and the sailors. The Hart
ley reached the flagship at 3 o'clock and
between "files of marines with arms at
present the Mayor and committee were
received on the quarter deck of the Con
necticut and taken below to the cabin
hall to meet the Admiral. Hearty greet
ings were exchanged between Admiral,
Mayor and the members of the reception
committee.
After the ceremonies of the official call
were over. Mayor Taylor and the com
mittee bonrded the Hartley and came
ashore. Following the official call Ad
miral Evans came ashore and was taken
to the St. Francis Hotel to meet his wife
and daughter.
First Sight of Fleet..
Off to the southwest straining eyes
could distinguish a dim outline of por
tions of the fleet now and then. At 11
o'clock, far off on the horizon, a streamer
of black smoke was outlined against the
sky. A smokestack became visible,
merging from black Into buff. A white
hull appeared, flanked on the left by the
small, black hull of a destroyer. An
other vessel came out of the void ac
companied by a destroyer.
While the leader approached slowly,
others came in sight in regular order
and soon all 16 could be counted, ad
vancing In a straight line at regular in
tervals and heading for the Golden Gate,
belching forth great clouds of black
smoke, which hung like a dark canopy
above them.
Almost to the minute, the Connecticut,
flying the double-starred pennant of
Rear-Admiral Evans, with the destroyer'
Whipple, leading the,-black torpedoboat
flotilla, close on the starboard bow,
passed Point Bonita at 12:10 P. M. Aa
the flagship came opposite Fort Point,
the battery of Fort Winfield Scott tired
the first gun of he Army's salute to
the Navy. Fort Baker, high up on the
precipitous cliffs towering above the nar
rowest part of the entrance, took up the
refrain. The Connecticut acknowledged
the salute by 21 shots from hfr three
pounders. while the steam whistles of
the patrolboats and excursion steamer
shrieked forth a welcome. The fairway
was kept clear by patrolboats under
command of Captain W. S. V. Jacobs,
of the revenue cutter Manning.
Swing Into Anchorage Ground.
When the Connecticut passed, the
cruiser West Virginia, flagship of the Pa
cific squadron, saluted the chief with 13
guns, to which the , Connecticut re
sponded. Passing Goat Island the Con
necticut headed for the Alameda shores
and then swung to the Bouth, while the
Pacific squadron, led by the West Vir
ginia, promptly fell In line behind the
battleship Wisconsin. The cruisers
dropped in line, with each vessel the
exact djptance from the other, as if a
division of the Atlantic fleet. At half
speed the Connecticut led the way over
toward the Alameda shore, the fleet stIK
hin one long line, with the Atlantic tor
pedo flotilla, led by the flagship Whipple.
At 2:35 the last anchor had been dropped
and the long cruise was ended.
"The fleet occupies "Warship Row." the
anchorage ground covering a space a
mile wide and two miles in length.
J the functions connected with the coming
of the Atlantic fleet of battleships to
San Francisco Bay was the breakfast
given this morning by the California
Promotion Committee, in honor of Sec
retary of the Navy' Victor H. Metcalf,
in the ballroom of the Hotel St. Francis.
In addition to Secretary Metcalf at the
breakfast were the Governors of sev

guests in all.
Governor Sheldon, of Nebraska, rep
resenting the Interior and farming inter
