By CHARLES MM AKKOLL Internstlonxl Illmrtrxted News Writer CHICAGO — Thousands of yachtsmen' along the Gulf coast, In the Great Lakes region and on both eastern and western seaboard are busy at their annual spring task of repairing and outfitting their boats In preparation for a busy season on the water. More than a million power and sail craft are operated by Americans for pleasure purposes. This huge fleet Includes all manner of boats, from outboards to giant racing craft, and from starboats to luxurious yachts. Their owners are equally varied in age and position, including old and young, clerks and millionaires. Designers and boat-b uild e r s have been busy in hundreds of shops this winter and opening of the season will find a host of smart new boats added to th? American pleasure fleet. The starboat class especially has had a remarkable growth in the past couple of years, the popularity of this type of craft being due to the ease with which it can be navigated—novices and women have little difficulty in mastering it—and to the fact that the starboat is not as expensive to build as some other boats, a good one costing around S6OO or S7OO. Millions to Be Spent In contrast to the economy of building and operating one of these trim numbers, staggering cums are spent on i the palatial oceangoing yachts such as the Nourmahal of Vincent Astor. These floating palaces cost as high as $200,000 a year to operate and keep in shape. It is estimated that nearly S2O,-

considerable maneuvering to do, although there has been no move to replace Archie N. Bobbitt, the state G. O. P. chairman. He was a compromise candidate when chosen last December. But there may be a struggle for control of the committee with the ; June state convention impending I when the nominees will be named for United States senator and members of the state ticket. Five | f candidates have announced for senator, most of whom have adherents on the state committee anxious to have organization support for their man. At present, assuming that the lineup of the state committee is as | it was when Bobbitt was chosen! chairman, friends of former Sena i tor James E. Watson are in control by one vote. Watson is a candidate for the senate again. Ralph Gates, furth district chairman. is leader of the present minority and some of his friends have been interested in the candi-' dacy of Raymond Willis, Angola I editor, for the senate. Selection of new district committeemen who form the state com- ■ mittee will be a highly important; matter for the Republicans, there-1 fore possibly determining the personnel of the 193 S state ticket and probably having an important effect upon the party's fortune as far ahead as 1940. Meanwhile, as count of the vote in last Tuesday’s primary neared completion, there appeared to have been a last minute upset in the fifth district. After trailing through yesterday’s tallying. Forest Harness of Kokomo came from behind in his home county to nose out Richard T. James of Portland by approximately 500 votes in fairly complete unofficial returns. Harness is a noted lawyer, hav- , ing been selected as one of the | 1 federal prosecutors of Samnel In- ! suit several years ago. James lost i

000,000 will be spent during the ! next Six weeks getting ready for , the yachting season. New marine motors, paint, sails and nautical I fittings of every kind will make up 1 the spring yachting budget. Much ! of the work will actually be done ' by the owner and his family, since half the fun is working on the boat and anticipating the joyful days on i the water later. I This task of “spring housecleaning” after a boat has been laid up ■ all winter is no easy one. Old ! paint must be scraped off and surfaces refinished, fittings must be polished and interiors cleaned, bottoms scraped and sails repaired, i But this work is fast being rushed to completion as an early spring favors the boatmen and presages a long season of racing and pleasure cruising. Season Promises Much Indications are that the 1938 season will be one of the best in history. A host of new yacht clubs have been organized and the membership of the older ones has considerably increased in the past couple of seasons. The novelty and picturesqueness of the sport has won many new recruits and a record number of entries are in sight for the most important regattas scheduled during the coming months. Prospects are particularly bright l in the Great Lakes region which has seen a phenomenal growth ir, the number of pleasure boatmen since 1935. It is in this sector, too : that arrival of spring is bailee i with particular enthusiasm because winter ice and snow force the yatchtsman to curb his impa ; tience until return of warm i weather.

They will remain here übtll this afternoon when they will return to Cincinnati. They already have made plans to claim the body of their xon. On Feb. 3, when Hicks originally wax lo die, the parents intercepted a hearse which had been sent for the body when an eleventh hour reprive wax grantd. Olllclals reported that Hicks was completely resigned to hla fate and wax preparing to die. He appeared much less concerned about his approaching death than did his parents. Thia afternoon Hicks will be removed from the regular death row quarters which he shares with seven other doomed men and will be placed in a special cell within an arm’s reach of the little whitewashed execution chamber. The lethal chair was being prepared this morning. Hicks was accused of being the “brains" of a gang which plotted the murder for two months hi an attempt to obtain Miller s modest fortune of $150,000. The murder was committed on June 11, 1936. The elderly fireman was beaten, shot to death and his body dismembered. The head and hands were found embedded In a box of cement in a lake near Carrollton, Ky., and nine days inter the torso was taken from a culvert near
