POSITIVELY NO PHONE ORDERS FOR ECONO MY BASEMENT SALES NAVY WAR GAM E Dr1" Cnamw CI not ArriwaC Off Atlantic Coast. , "BLUE" DEFENDERS SAIL Admiral Mayo, Commanding In vaders, to Try to Uand Army Before September 1 Strict Censorship Put in Force. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Two mighty fleets . were grappling for each other tonight in the dark somewhere off the Atlantic Coast in the opening- phase of the most elaborate -war game ever undertaken by the American Navy. The Navy Department on a. war footing was invoking every energy to aid Rear Admiral Helm, commanding the "Blue" defending fleet, which was sweeping Feaward behind a line of scouts nearly B00( miles long to repulse Admiral Jlaro's "Red" battle fleet. "The game began at 6 o'clock this morning, when Admiral Helm, on his flagship, Rhode island, received word that an agent of the State Department aboard a ship bound from New York to Gibraltar had reported 15 battleships of the "Red" fleet 600 miles due east of Cape Hatteras, with 30 transports bringing an army of invasion to be landed somewhere between Cape Hat teras and Bast Port, Me. An hour after the report came, the J 2 battleships of Admiral Helm's main fighting fleet, manned in part by civil ian volunteers and naval militiamen, wera headed seaward from Narragan eett. Ahead of them were speeding nearly a score of swift destroyers and a cruiser squadron. ' Rear-Admiral Gleaves commands the scouting force, which is converging on the point where the enemy was known to be at day light this morning. Admiral Maya's problem is to force & way through the "Blue" fleet for his transports. The game board, within which operations must be confined, is virtually 600 miles square and with the 15 active battleships of the Atlantic fleet ns his main fighting unit; Admiral Mayo controls a force that Admiral Helm must employ strategy to defeat. R?ar-Admiral Knight, head of the Navy War College, is umpiring the game from the battleship Pennsylvania. The radio signals of the enemy fleet mean nothing to the operators on Ad miral Gleaves' scouting ships. The messages aro in a cipher code, known only to the officers and men of the "Red" fleet. Those picked up to night by "Blue" scouts, however, were sent back through radio re'.ay ships to the Navy Department, where code ex perts struggle over them through the night seeking the key to the cipher. By the terms of the problem, pre pared at the Naval War College, the "Red" commander lies until September 1 to effect a landing. GOVERNOR HEADS PARADE Tillamook County Fair Reports Record Attendance. TILLAMOOK. Or., Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) The fifth annual Tillamook County Fair had a record attendance today.

VETO THREAT MADE Literacy Test Not to Be Part of Immigration Bill. FIVE DEMOCRATS SWITCH On Word From President That He Will Not Approve Measure Senate Defeats Motion to Take It Vp and Turns to Revenue Bill. WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. President Wilson let it be known today that he would veto the immigration bill if it came before him again with the liter acy test, and with that the Senate de feated the motion to take up the meas ure and returned to consideration of the revenue bill. The President's announcement, which settled the question, arrived lust when the Democrats were continuing their party row over the action of the nine revolting Democrats who refused to be bound by the caucus which decided to let the bill go over and the leaders of the revolt were making caustic replies to the reproaches of Senator Stone. On the President's word that he would veto the bill, five of the revolt ing Democrats turned about and voted against the motion to take it up. They were Senators Beckham, Chamberlain, Culberson, Lane and Overman. They made the vote 32 to 23. Senators Ashurst, Hardwick, Myers, Smith of South Carolina and Vardaman, all Democrats, however, stuck to their votes to take it up. The Senate's action means that ef forts to consider the bill at this ses sion probably will be dropped. NOMINEE TO BE CHOSEN Central Committees Will Name Sen atorial Candidate. The Republican county central com mittees of Clackamas, Columbia and Multnomah counties are to hold a joint meeting in Library Hall next Tuesday night. August 29, to indorse a candi date for joint State Senator to succeed George 'M. McBride. who resigned re cently to accept an independent nomi nation for County Judge. The Multno mah committee, at a meeting last night, voted that its full strength of 376 votes shall be cast next Tuesday to indorse the candidate favored by the majority of the committee present. This procedure is quite likely to meet with opposition from the other two county committees and a lively meet ing is in prospect. The Columbia County committee has a candidate it wants indorsed; so has the Clackamas committee, while the Multnomah com mittee is understood to favor E. E. Coovert. who recently received the in dependent nomination for the place. Dr. H. M. Patton is also an independent candidate from this county. But no matter who is indorsed, the indorsee will have to run as an in dependent candidate, as the law pro vides no method for enabling him to have the word "Republican" put after his name on the ballot. (Those present lat night voted to support the straight Republican ticket in this county. Several candidates ad dressed the meeting. State Chairman Named- JEFFERSON. Mo.. Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) T. W. Hukrlede. of Warrenton, Mo., was re-elected chairman of the Republican State Committee here to day after the name' of Jeptha Howe, of Stt. Louis, choice of Henry Lamm, nom inee for Governor, had been withdrawn. Mr. Hukriede was the choice of Walter Dickey, nominee for United States Senator.
