EARL PETERS ■ ■ Fireworks Expected At Meeting of Democratic Committee Monday Indianapolis, Oct. 6. — (U.R) — Women members of the Democratic ■ state committee may support R j Earl Peters, Democratic state ehair- ' man, in his showdown Monday with Gov. Paul V. McNutt. The committee will meet to dis- | cuss the new Hoosier Democratic 1 Club, organized by McNutt cohorts , to collect two per cent of the sal- ! aries of Democratic state employes for campaign purposes. Peters has opposed the club, contending that campaign funds should be collected by the state commit- ■ tee as has been customary in the | past. Should the committee uphold Pet- | ers* contention it will place him in ; virtual control ot the party organization hut if the two per cent club |is upheld it will mean that the governor can control the commiti tee. One of the first moves of Pleas I Greenlee, secretary to the governor. upon his return from Chicago yesterday was to summon Mrs. Josephine Williams, Seventh district vice chairman and state chairwoman. into conference. She is regarded as a Peters supporter. Greenlee's action was interpreted as meaning tiiat the McNutt forces are doubtful of the women’s sup 1 port. Mrs. A. P.
