primary Is scheduled for Wednes-. day. Although Georgia anil other states bear directly on the con-servative-new deal friction now heating the Democratic party, Maryland Is judged to offer the clearest cut test of sentiment. Tydings Is a conservative, if voting against 17 and for only 7 of 24 typical new deal bills warrants the designation. He is classed by Mr Roosevelt among the "reactionaries" who are to be, driven from party leadership in the new deal's educational program preparatory to the 1940 presidential campaign. Kight states — Arizona, Colo-, rado. Louisiana, Michigan. New Hampshire, Vermont. Washington. Utah — will hold comparatively unimportant primaries tomorrow and on the next day an-' other direct and possibly vital test of Roosevelt leadership will take place in Georgia where the new deal has ndorsed U.

Connecticut's Republican and Democratic nominating conventions will wind up the big political week. Vaarious polls, betting odds and a considerable group of political writers, believe Tydings went into today's polling with a substantial edge.

It was learned that, keen as I was anxiety over the speech Fuehrer Adolf Hitler was to make tonight, many people in responsible circles feared that an explosion was brewing in Czechosloi vakia proper. Indications were reported that a move might be made to create local protective guards, composed of Nazi storm troopers, by lead-i i ers in the Sudeten German area, I on the claim that Czech police I could not maintain order. Any , such move would be viewed here | as the first step toward Some sort i l of intervention by Germany. It was felt that the Czechoslovak, government might he forced to take rigorous action and that, in consequence, an incident might be precipitated that would lead to war. So great was the press of people in Downing street before the cabinet meeting that police were forced to clear it.

CONFESSES TO f BURN ING HOTEL: F “ C Man Admits He And Com- < panion Started Fire ’ Claiming Eight Lives t Chicago, Sept. 12.--(U.R>-- The state fire marshal's office today turned over to the state's attor-M ! ney's office Frank J. Koleslak, 26.1 and an 11-page signed statement ( assorting that he and a companion , deliberately fired a hotel in which | | eight persons were burned to 1 ( death last April 6. The statement said Koleslak and a friend he named as Emil Guer- ! ilert 23, pool room porter, set fire 1 to the Hotel Center because of a [ f ' trivial insult. | “We wanted to get even with . the owner,” the statement quoted ( Koleslak. "He had kicked us out ] of the place.” Assistant State’s Attorney Mai, [ Coghlan. who questioned Koleslak., I asserted: “If this story is verified, it is , genuine murder and we will seek : murder indictments.” State Fire Marshal Sherman V. Coultas said Kolesiak confessed three hours after he was seized, Friday in the home of Mrs. Ruth Moran who also was held for ques- [ tioning. Kolesiak. according to Coultas, i named Gtterrieri as the actual, torch man. Guerrieri was sought for questioning. The purported confession said that Kolesiak and Guerrieri became angered when they were evicted from the hotel and that Kolesiak had suggested wrecking the hotel owner’s automobile. Guerrieri,, however, decided that they bum the hotel and threatened Kolesiak I if he did not join with him, the statement said. While Kolesiak acted as lookout I on the third floor of the hotel, the 1 alleged confession said, Guerrieri , soaked rags in gasoline, scattered , j them about the hallway and ignit'|ed them with a match. Men and •women in the mediumpriced hotel were thrown Into a j panic when fire broke out in the [ i early morning. Firemen carried ] , It) persons to safety over ladders. and aided others down a fire es-1 cape. Those who died either were trapped in their rooms or trampled as they sought to flee from the [ 1 flaming building. Firemen had believed the blaze started accidentally. o Infant Dies After Swallowing Poison Tbrydon, Ind., Sept. 12.
