Given Water Fountain Bloomington, Ind., Aug. 14—(U.K) —Optimistic Indiana University sorority girls refused to believe in the reported water shortage at Bloomington and presented the park> board with a water fountain. Where the water is to come from is unknown as the park board members reported a loss of $250 last week due to the closing of the swimming pool because of the drought. As Indiana University weather bureau statistics show that Bloomington has had a total loss of 91,212,800 gallons of water due to the weather conditions. Residents owning lots 60 by 150 feet got 54,000 gallons of water less this year than normally, she bureau said. j

PRIMARY VOTES ARE COUNTED Alabama Gubernatorial Contest Only Major Race In Doubt Chicago, Aug. 14 —<U.R>— One contest, that for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Alabama, remained in doubt today as clerka and judges completed their counts of votes cast Tuesday in five state primaries. Outstanding among the final or recognized as settled results were the renomination of Sen. George W. Norris of Nebraska, the victories of -two comparatively poor men over wealthy opponents in Oklahoma, and the nomination in Ohio of Robert J. Bulkley. Democrats throughout the country found eatisfaction in the nomination of Bulkley and Thomas P. Gore, blind former senator in Oklahoma. Both were given large majorities and Democrats believed that with them as candidates in the fall elections they would gain two seats in the senate. The Alabama gubernatorial race remained so close between Judge B. M. Miller and W. C. Davis that it was believed a counting of second choice votes would be necessary. Miller held a lead of 3,425 with about 300 of the state’s 1,868 precincts unreported. John H. Bankhead was conceded the “regular” Democratic nomination for senator in Alabama. He will oppose Sen. Thomas A. Heflin in the fall election after Heflin is nominated at a “Jeffersonian Democratic" convention. Bankhead's vote was 54,814; Thompson's 28,407. Senator Norris’ renomination in Nebraska was not without a fight, but with 1,711 preclude out of 1,010 reported he led W. M. Stebbins, 94,212 to 67,173. His opponent in the fall elections will be former Senator Gilbert Hitchcock, who defeated Dr. Jennie Calfas, 49,916 votes to 13,569. Nebraska Republicans re-nomin-ated Gov. Arthur Weaver over Harry Palmer. His vote in 1,680 precincts was 119,868 to 40,174 for Palmer. Democrats nominated Charles Bryan. His vote in 1,698 precincts was 58,934 to 12,422 for Anton Jensen. William “Alfalfa Bill” Murray won a sweeping victory In the Oklahoma gubernatorial race, leading 217.355 to 123,461 in 3,135 precincts out of 3.345. His opponent was Frank Buttram, millionaire. Gore, who, like Murray, is comparatively poor, also won over a wealthy opponent. Charles Wrightman. His vote in 3,135 precincts was 163,850 to 123,967. Victory of Sen. Joseph T. Robinson in the Arkansas Democratic senatorial race was considered certain. Incomplete returns gave h’m 91.250 votes to 20,429 for Thomas W. Campbell. Gov. Harvey Parnell was renominated over Brooks Hays, 31-year-old attorney.

GOVERNORS IN ' CONFERENC WITH HOOVER tCONTINUED FROM FAGB OKEP their intention to be present are: Henry S. Caufield. Missouri; Louis L. Emmerson, Illinois; Harry S. Leslie, Indiana; Myers Y. Cooper, Ohio; William G. Conley, West Virginia; John J. Pollard, Virginia; John E. Erickson, Montana; Clyde M. Reed, Kansas; John Hammell, lowa, and Arthur J. Weaver, Nebraska. Mr. Hoover will ask all his guests to remain for dinner‘so the conference may be concluded tonight. Administration leaders are confident the conference will accomplish the purpose for which it was intended. They are most inetrested now in reports of profiteering which have come to them from various sources. Hyde has taken the position the reports of profiteering are exaggerated. After hearing Rep. La Guardia, Repn., N.Y., charge late yesterday that vegetable , prices were being increased 25 to 30 per cent in New York city, Hyde asserted price increases for certain kinds of foods were unavoidable. As the governors gathered here for the conference, it was reiterated tiiat official agencies are unable to prevent profiteering except by publicity, unless there are combinations for such purposes in violation of the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust acts. These could be proceeded against under those laws. —o _ LESLIE WILL SUBMIT PLAN (CONTINUED FR°M PAGE ONE) gram.
