Watch the clock. Yesterday noon
the big band pointed to less than $1,-
000, below the halfway mark. To-
day it points to $34,933.75, and those
who were backing their opinions that
it was impossible to raise $60,000 or
more in eight days for a new Norwalk
Hospital, have begun to hedge. The
big jump made in the second days-
work was due to the fact that the
women's committee of one hundred,
did not organize until yesterday, giving
the men folks a full day's start. ‘A
big delegation of the ladies were pres-
ent yesterday at the lloonday dinner

Mass, June l3.~—’The Hamburg-Ameri-

Hamburg. collided with the American
Liner New York during a dense fog at
3:26 oclock this morning. Fortunately
the blow was a glancing one, just
shaft of the bow, and the New York
was uninjured.
No panic or undue excitement pre-
vailed aboard the New York, as the
shock was en'slight that many of the
passengers were not even awakened.
because of the log the New York was
stopped at the time of the accident.
Later she proceeded on her voyage
to New York and at 5 u.‘ln. was 180
miles east of the Nantucket Lightship.
The steamship New York left South-
ampton forNew York on June 6 and
was due'in New York Harbor late last
night. "The Pretoria sailed dot Ham-
burg on June 11.
Nothing is said in the wireless dis~
patch from New York whether or‘ not
the Pretoria was damaged in the col-
lislon. but the indications are that she
was not, as the New York reported
herself as proceeding to her destina-
tion which she would not have done
had there been any serious results
from the accident.
NEW YORK. June lit—The Ameri-
can Line received only a brief wire-
less message from Captain‘lioberts of
the New York concerning the collision

tative Donovan of Connecticut got
Representative Mann’s “goat” yester-
day. They had several clashes at in-
tervals during the afternoon. in the
final ‘tilt the Republican leader ask'ed
the presiding officer to protect him
from “the nuisance from Connecticut.”
The excitement began when Repre-
sentative Donovan obtained five min-
utes in which to explain his statement
in the house the other day that Mann
was the only Republican present on
the floor on‘that occasion. Donovan
went on to amplify that statement.
Donovan’s Arraignment.
“The great manufacturing and com-
mercial state of Pennsylvania, was
without a member here present at that
time," he said. “There was not a.
single Republican on hand from New
England. Tile great state of Ohio
