RETURNS TO WASHINGTON President Ends Short Vacation; No Part In New York Mayoralty Washington, Aug. 10 — (UP) — President Roosevelt returned to Washington today from a three-day vacation at Hyde Park, N. Y. He will remain at the White House until c-.ngrese adjourns. When Mr. Roosevelt boarded his special train at midnight at Hyde Park he told a group gathered to bid him goodbye that he would return "five days” after the senate and house adjourned. The President’e special train arrived at Union Station at 7:23 A. M. CST., and Mr. Roosevelt motored to the White House immediately. Mr. Roosevelt arrived 12 hours before Demvicratic senators were to meet -in a stag “harmony banquet" honoring Sen. Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky., New majority leader. Although the President had said he had n-~« yet decided whether to attend, it was believed he merely would send a message of greeting. Before he left Hyde Park, White House secretary Harvin 11 Mclntyre issued a formal etatement denying published reports that the President had taken sides in the race for the Democratic mayoralty I nomination in New York City. The report arose after Edward J. : Flynn, party leader in New York’s Bronx district, spent part of Sunday at the Roosevelt family estate near Hyde Park. Flynn is supporting Jeremiah T. Mahoney, against Sen. Royal S. Copeland, anti-admin-istration candidate, in the Democratic primaries. “The President repeated today for the thousandth time,” Mclntyre said, “that he had not taken part, is not taking part and will not take part in any local primary election except in his home town (Hyde Park) and home county (Duchess county.) o WOMEN DRICERS INVOLVED IN FEW FATAL CRASHES Kansas City, Mo., —(UP) —Men drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents in which some /.me is k-illed then a woman driver, according to a check by police here. In Kansas City last year women were responsible for 6 per cent of the fatal accidents, whereas at any hour of the day an average of 11 per cent of the cars are driven by women. Therefore, men, who drive 89 percent of the cars are responsible for 94 per cent of the fatal accidents. o Ship Ducks Christening Nagasaki, Japan <U.R) — Officials of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, atired in morning coats and silk hats, arrived here for the launching of the 7,000-ton Yalu River Maru only to find that props had given way during the night and the ship was already riding on the waters of Nagasaki Bay. The unofficial launching had been successful. so the officials went through their dedication formalities anyway. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatui

STATE G. 0. P. PIAN MEETING State Committee Meets Wednesday; Morgan Ouster Studied — Indianapolis, Aug. 10. —(U.R) ~Be- j publican district chairmen gather-1 ed here today for a series of hotel 1 huddles to determine whether they > will oust Ivan C. Morgan, state G. O. P. chairman, at the meeting of the state committee tomorrow. Ostensibly the committee session was called to select a successor to Burrell Wright, party treasurer who resigned last April. But confronting the committee members are several other interesting situations also. 1. The meeting will reveal whether Ralph Gates of Columbia City, fourth district chairman and so-called majority leader on the state committee, has lurde enough minority group votes to his side to depose Morgan. 2. It will be decided whether selection of a new chairman, if Morgan is ousted, will be a man responsible to the whole commit tee in a sincere move to restore shattered party harmony or will! be merely a fractional figurehead 3. The meeting probably will determine whether Republican "old guard” leadership will again be firmly astride in the G. O, P. saddle. Gates reportedly wants to gain control of the state committee chairmanship to further his candidacy for governor in the 1940 election. To remove Morgan at this time he must induce one of the; minority groups led by Ewing Emi- i son of Vincennes, seventh district chairman, to join the Gates group. Emison, who arrived today, is endeavoring to keep his group's ranks intact and balk any action on dismissing Morgan until the committee can agree on a new j chairman suitable to both groups I and to the Indiana Republican Edi-1 torial Association. This latter organization is almost entirely alien-1 ated from the party as a result of Morgan and Gates removal of Harry Fenton, former party secretary, last April. Gates is reported to favor George R. Jeffrey of Indianapolis, former U. S. district attorney, for the chairmanship. If this move is carried out, it will mean that the “old guard" typified by former U. S. Senator Arthur Robinson, will be directing Indiana Republicans in the 1938 campaign. Jeffrey was Robinson’s appointee as district attorney and was intimate with groups which backed Robinson during his senate tenure.

Some observers believe that the proper strategy would be to let the remaining "old guard" elements have control of the party in anticipation of a defeat in 1938 by the Democrats, after which the party could be reorganized thor-j oughly along more liberal lines with new blood and leadership. Others, however, are fighting any defeat attitudes relative to the 1938 election and are hopeful of a political miracle in view of some Democratic dissension. They also point ou tthat the party may be able to gain a foothold in the municipal and county elections next year which would be a basis for a vigorous 1940 campaign. It was conceded, however, that if Morgan is ousted tomorrow, the man who is chosen as his successor probably holds the fate of the party in the next two elections In his hands. James A. Slane of Lafayette, party secretary who was severely injured June 25 in an automobile accident in which his wife was killed, resumed his duties today at the state G. O. P. headquarters here.
