ROBINSON ASKS JGURLEY TO GO BEFORECOURTS Senator Writes Another Irate Letter About ‘Super Government’ Charge. In his latest letter to Boyd Gurley editor of The Times, United States Senator Arthur R. Robinson suggests that the editor go before Indiana Supreme Court and Feden> Court with the charges that Robinson and United States Senator Watson were the beneficiaries of a “super government” compact. Robinson previously had written The Times two letters, demanding retraction by Friday. The Times refused to retract. Robinson's latest letter: Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 16, 1927. Mr. Boyd Gurley, Editor The Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Ind. Gentlemen: In "an editorial printed in your newspaper of Sept. 14, 1927, you use this language: “There has been supergovernment In this State and it is supergovernment which The Times is fighting and endeavoring to finish. “It is fighting to end the time when a United States i Senator will endeavor to influence, for political considerations and expediencies, the decisions of its Supreme Court." Under these -circumstances, you should immediately go before the Supreme Court of Indiana and tell them your story in open session, in the presence of the whole world. In an editorial published in your newspaper of Sept. 13, 1927, you use this language: ‘The men in the Federal building received their jobs from the influence which j?rew out of these dismal years of betrayal.” This statement libels two members of the Federal judiciary, a United States district attorney, a United states collector of internal revenue, a United States collector of customs, a United States prohibition enforcement officer, a United States marshal, a postmaster of the city of Indianapolis and dozens of men engaged in the government service. By implication It libels the President of the United States, as he is directly or indirectly responsible for all Federal appointments. Under these circumstances, you should immedately go before Judges Baltzell and Slick of the United States District Court and, Wopen session, tell your story and submit your evidence. • If you have not the moral courage to take this action, then you should admit to the world that you are a wilful and malicious liar, v Yours truly, ARTHUR R. ROBINSON.

How the Market Opened

By United Press, NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Urgent demand for General Motors stocks featured early trading on the stock market today and kept the trend of the entire market upward. Motors, rails, oils and utilities spurted while a long list of special issues was sharply higher. Du Pont leaped to new high territory at 341%, while Houston Oil gained 1% points to 149%, United States Rubber a point to 54%, International Harvester 2 points to 234%, American Smelting 1% to 18tf%, radio Corporation % to 67%, Vanadium a point to 54 and National Biscuit % to 146%. A long string of sales on new General Motors monopolized the tape. The issue opened at its previous closing level and record of 137 and promptly rose above 138. ►. The old stock opened at anew record of 275 and then advanced nearly a point. Overnight news was generally constructive, particularly word that President Coolidge had not been advised of any needs of War or Navy Departments, likely to jeopardize tax reduction possibilities in the next Congress. Weekly mercantile reviews also were favorable, reporting further stepping up in wholesale and industrial activities, although retail trade was restrained by the excessive heat in some sections. Leading industrial stocks maintained a strong tone in early dealings. General Motors mounted to a new record high at 275, up 1% from the previous close, while Steel common moved up fractionally to around the best levels of the movement at 160. Tire shares were in active demand, under the leadership of Goodyear, which reached anew high since its listing on the “big board," selling at 57, up 4% from Friday’s low.

Shumaker for contempt: “Comes now the State of Indiana and moves to modify the judgment rendered against the respondent, Edward S. Shumaker, and to Increase the sentence imposed upon him, on the ground that the same now appears inadequate because of corrupt attempts by him, the said Shumaker, corruptly to influence a decision favorable to him in this cause. “In support of this motion, the State offers the testimcßiy of Clyde E.

HUGHES AND AL i 4 SEEN IN LINE-UP FOR 1928 FIGHT Some Observers Think New York Will Furnish Both Party Choices. byleo r. sack WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Possibility of New York State furnishing the presidential candidates of both major parties next summer was visualized here today. Former Governor Charles Evans Hughes versus Governor Alfred E. Smith is in the line-up of some of them see with New York State, always doubtful in presidential elections, the real battle ground of the Nation. More a Candidate Now Hughes’ statement to the reporters upon his return from Europe Monday instead of removing him as a candidate makes him even more of a candidate, in the opinion of politicians. They recall that in 1916, when amember of the United States Supreme Court, he refused absolutely to discuss himself as a presidential candidate even while his name was | being balloted upon. He was nominated anyway and promptly resigned from the Supreme Court to accept. He was a poor candidte, however, in the opinion of politicians in that he did not know the valur of the cordial handshake. Different Hughes Now But he is a different Hughes now. His service as secretary of State made a complete change. No man in' Washington’s recent expereince smiles more happily nor shakes hands more warmly. He meets the politicians now on their own ground, sure of himself. Hughes is standing pat on his recent statement, wherein he alleged he was too old to seek the presidency, is showing consistency. It wasn’t to be expected he would say, “Yes, I am a candidate,” nor was it to be expected hd would say, “If Mr. Coolidge doesn’t want it, I’ll take it. Must Seek Him Hughes has placed himself in the attitude where the nomination must seek- him, as it did in 1916, but hardly in an attitude where he couldn’t be seen if sought. Asa result, it is believed here, a formidable movement, supported by New York political and business interests. will be launched. Allied Pennsylvania interests, under the leadership of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who returned from Europe on the same ship with Hughes quietly may encourage the movement.
