SEEKING PLACE Is Not a Candidate for Re
publican National Chairmanship.
New Tork, June 17.—Frank H. Hitchcock, who returned to New Tork last night from the lake region of Wisconsin, where he went after the olose of the republican national convention at Chicago, declared that he Is not a candidate for the chairmanship of the republican national committee.
Regarding the chairmanship he said, in a statement issued after his arrival here, "I wish to repeat what I said at the close of the convention In Chicago, namely that I am not in any sense a candidate for the position. No-man who . bias. gone , through the gruelling experiences of conducting a national campaign is likely to seek that responsibility again.
- 'The nominee appears, to. be given the question . of the chairmanship most careful consideration and I am
.sure he will make a' wise choice-Whoever is selected will receive my hearty support. I am tremendously anxious to see Mr. Hughes elected president because I. believe it will mean a restoration of national prestige s.nd honor. In my judgment the surest way to bring about his election is to have the campaign conducted by a campaign committee composed of progressive .as well as republican leaderiL In order to win it will be necessary to Tally to the support of our nominees, the voters in both wings ol the party."
Mr. Hitchcock will leave for Boston tomorrow night to attend the reunion of his class at Harvard.

FISHING FLEET OFF FOR BANKS
Paris. June S.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press).—The ceremony of "the blessing of the catch" that precedes each spring the departure of the French ood-flBhing fleets for Icelandic waters and the banks of Newfoundland, has lost none of its interest or plcturesqueness, though the fleets are considerably diminished on account of the war.
The fleets of Fecamp. Paimpol. Saint Malo, Cancale, Saint Servan, and Granville, altogether are sending out about 100 vessels this year as against 300 that composed the combined fleets before the war. The steam trawlers were nearly all requisitioned by the government, and a great many members of the crews were mobilized. This year 8,000 of these mobilised men have been; given leave from the army In order" to prevent the cbd-flBhing industry from declining to the point of disaster. The war has shown France the importance ot her fisheries, and already ways And! means of Improving their facilities after the war are being discussed.''
While the cod catch will be ji ustlj Inferior to the average again this year, there will be plenty of Cancale oysters, for the women have replaced the mobilised men in the important annual catch of seed oysters off the BretOn coast.
It is really a man's work, for the barks are heavy and the six sails m neither light nor easily managed, fiut the women handle them with ais maeh skill as courage, and the season's cateh of oysters to l>e taken shoreward (or breeding purposes, will aM fall ftup short of the average sisatfjl
