Twenty first-class men wero examined and each returned the same answer: "Wo have formed n dislike for this oficcr" No amount of threats or coaxing could bring to light the cause of the uutngouiMu against Logan. Tho ca dets declined to' answer further ques tions. Lieutenant Commander Silbey intimated that the entire endet corps would be examined singly. The iinder-clnss, it is generally believed, will be guided by the notions of the upper e!a much. In tho past when the cadets refused to testify boforo the military board, he was simp ly requested to answer ntiostions. If be refused, he was courtmurtiul ed and dispi sod.

VON DER HELIEN WINS RACE FOR NOMINATION BY 16 VOTES LITTLE CHAN6E IN STANDING AS COUNTPROCEEDS Additional Returns From Saturday's State Wide Primaries Have Made Little Change Hawley Today Lead Mulkcy by 1700 Votes PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 27. Ad ditional returns of Saturday's state wido primaries havo made little change in tho standing of tho various candidates In tho race for nomina tions. It is now practically certain that O. P. Hoff, the assembly candi date for commissioner of labor, has been nominated over Orton, leading by about J 000 votes. Thoy ran so closo that tho outcome was doubtful. Acordlng to tho returns, three fourths of which aro in, show that Howerman, assembly candidate, has won tho republican gubernatorial nomination over .Dlmlck" '""Bo-wciv man's lead Is approximately 3000. Thomas 13. Kay, insurgent, doubtless has beaten the assembly candidate, Ralph Hoyt, for tho state treasure ship. Kay had a good lead, which will bo Increased when all returns are in. Congressman Ellis, standpatter, has cut down A. W. Lafferty's lead slightly in tho Second district, but not enough to endanger Lafferty's nomination for congress. In tho First district, Congressman W. C. Hawley, regular, today was leading B. P. Mulkey, Insurgent, by 1756 votes in tho congressional race. Oswald West, seemingly, Is the democratic, gubernatorial nominee. Today ho was leading Jefferson My ers by 1298. An analysis ot the situation shows that tho antl-nssemblyltcs have won ono congressman- 6tato treasurer, ono Justice of tho supromo court, at-tornoy-gonoral, state printer and su perintendent of water division No. 1, nnd in all probability tho majority in the stato legislature. Tho assemblyltes captured ono con gressman, tho governor, secretary of state, threo justices of tho supreme court and the, commissioner ot labor.
