HULL, DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN, TALKED FOR PRESIDENCY Tennesseean Being Groomed as Dark Horse if Deadlock Comes, By HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON. May 20—After the twentieth, or the thirtieth, (ftthe fortieth ballot, when the A1 Smith boosters have lost their voices and the McAdoo boomers have boomed in vain, when the Undergood. Davis and Ralston backers have failed to effect compromises and trades sufficient to round up the two-thirds vote necessary for nomination it the Democratic national convention, then— When the deadlock is tightest, weariness the heaviest, and gloom and grouches are enfolding the jaded delegations— Then will be the time to trot out the spirited, high-stepping, hitherto unrevealed “dark horse." whose popularity and party appeal will sweep away all smoldering interparty animosities and give the convention a candidate guaranteed to be a winner at the polls on Nov. 4, 1924! Consider Tennesseean Scouts for possible dark-horse entries for the Democratic nomination invariably of late have paused long and thoughtfully before the stall of a long-legged, rangy steed from the grassy mountain slopes of Tennessee. Critical examination to date has failed to show any defects in wind, limb or heart. Not a showy steed, perhaps, but a spirited, cleanlimbed. dependable one. with stamina and sticking qualities that promise well. A steed that has nru run amuck on the range, has t ngendere l no animosities among the herd and would draw no kicks and lutings from his fellows. In other words, observe as one of the likeliest of the “dark-horse” brigade the Honorable Cordell Hull, member of Congress from the Fourth Tennessee district, chairman of the Democratic National Committee and distinctly among the presidential possibilities on the Democratic ticket. Has (rood Record Mull is the man whom Democrats have to thank today for a wellgeared. smoothly operating organiition. When he took office as Democratic chairman in 1921. the party seemed hopelessly wrecked and hopelessly in debt. Today, due directly to his unflagging zeal and energy. it is in better position, materially and mentally, than since the Civil War. He his wiped out its debt, imbued Deni" crats with the spirit and will to win. and has inspired the enthusiasm that leads members us the party to feel —even with the lentity of the party's candidate in doubt —that this is a “Democratic year." Democrats Make Gains When Hull took hold of the Democratic helm, the party had fourteen Governors in office against thirtyfour Republicans. Today, twenty-seven Democratic Governors are in office and only twenty-one Republic ins. Then there were hut thirty-seven Democratic Se nators; now there are forty-three. Then there were 131 Democratic members in the House against the present membership of 206 and a confidently hcped-fc r maiority next year. In all of those results, Hull’s backers maintain he has had a most important part. He has established close and harmonious contact with leaders of Demoor- tic thought in every State and district. Through his “Victory Clubs” he has given a sense of intimate participation in Democratic affairs to many thousands of the rank and For the past two years Hull averaged between 1,500 to 2,000 .s&wonal letters a week to party *®ftders: advising, counseling, urging them up and on. The result; A maximum of enthusiasm, loyal friet.ds. No active enemies. FIVE RECOUNTS ASKED Boffin-Dodson Precinct Contenders Idle Suits. Petitions asking recount of the primary votes on Republican precinct committeemen were filed ip Superior Court One today by defeated CoffinDodson candidates in five precincts.

With them Tosta quickly captured the entire north coast of Honduras. Next, below, is a picture showing the primitive means of artillery transportation—the good old ox-cart, about the only conveyance that can travel the roads of Honduras. This particular scene shows rebel forces starting out from San lxirenzo to attack • 'holuteca. The third picture shows the rebel airplane, a possession most closely guarded from the federal. s ?. The arrow points to Gen. TTartines Funes, the airplane commander. To his left is C. K.

(Copyright, 1924. by NEA Service. T — 1 ONCONTIN, Honduras, May 20. —History shows that on • an average one really great man is born in a century. The trouble with Honduras is that there are at least seven or eight men at the present time, each of whom is firmly convinced that he is that man. Which wouldn’t be so ba.d if it weren’t for the fact tjiat each seems able to convince a certain portion of his countrymen that he is right. The adherent of each party wears a colored bat band to designate his particular brand; generally it bears a printed inscription, “Viva-ing” his favorite candidate. The regult is a medley of colors and blues, red and blue, -od and white, etc. —together with Carias, Arias, Bonilla, Funes and Ferrera. Just at present the warring factions are the reds and the blues. The reds carry a red and white banner. The blues —a blue and white banner, except the followers of Ferrera, the best fighters of the blues —who carry a red and white banner also, as Ferrera used to be a red. The causes of the revolution are many. Hidden behind the verbal barrage of high-sounding phrases are the real r sons—personal ambition and foreign intriguing. And still behind this are the men who are really patriotic, really honest—who are seeking to establish an honest government in their country. The government of Gutierrez, which expired Jan. 31, 1924, was a revolutionary government. It had overthrown a government that had endeavored to make itself the private property of one family. General Ferrera has been one of Its foremost leaders. Last October saw the holding of the presidential elections. The two major parties, the Liberals (in office) and the Conservatives, placed their candidates in the field. Tiburcic Carias was the candidate of the Conservatives. Manuel Arias of the Liberals. In order to split the vote of the Conservatives, thj Liberals placed a third candidate In the field, Policarpo Bonilla.

In the resulting election, ('arias had more votes than any other candidate, but not a majority. This despite the padded voting such as occurred at Puerto Cortez. where eighty seven Aristas voted the entire electoral vote of

NEWS PICTURES TO GO BY WIRE Invention Perfected for Practical Use by Newspapers, Announced,

Hu I nited Prras NEW YORK. May 20—As a resuit of successful tests in the trans- ! mission of news photographs by | wfre, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company anqpuncpd today that pictures of the big political conventions next month can be sent to newspapers for printing within a comparatively few winutes after the incident photographed occurs. Different kinds of pictures were used for the experiment. First, several studies of President Coolidge were transmitted, coming out with amazing clearness and permitting first-class reproduction in the morning New York newspapers. Following these was a picture of the high level bridge at Cleveland, bringing out clearjy not only the structure, but surroundings, a tugboat and smoke from the boat funnel. Pictures of E C. Hopwood, editor of the Clevejpnd Plain Dealer, and H. D. R. Briggs, editor of the Cleveland Press, followed, each slrikingly clear In detail. How It W> fries All were produced in New York papers wuhout linishing touches and demonstrated clearly the practicability of the Invention. The sending machine for the experiment was set up in Cleveland. The general principles of the process are simple, although there is an infinite amount of complex detail. The basis is a photo-electric cell which translates every variation of a beam of light Into a variation A Puzzle a Day A man owed another S6O. He made a first payment; then a second payment, which was one-half as much as the first. His third payment was three-fourths as much as the first; his fourth, one-quarter as much; his fifth, two-fifths as much. He made a sixth and final payment of $2, which completed the sixty.

of electric current, which in turn is translated into a variation of light at the receiving end. The source of light in the sending j machine is the same as an ordinary ! auto lamp. The spot of light of the j lamp passes through a lens upon a | photographic film which, in turn, is transmitted. The film is In the form of a cylinder, and .os this cylinder revolves, the point of light passes through the transparent film and falls upon a potassium pencil, which runs through the center of the cylinder. Electric Current Used This piece of potassium forms a huge sensitive photo-electric cell. When the light falls on ij., the eloci trons fly from the surface of the ! potassium, forming an electric cur- | rent, varying in intensity in.accordance with the shades of the picture reproduced. The fluctuations of the current from the photo-electric cell are then imposed upon the direct current, which flows through the telephone wires. This current is several billion times as powerful as that caused directly by the light, but the strong current Is made to reproduce every variation in intensity.
