BALL FROWNS SECOND TIME ON CANDIDACY Refuses to Be Watson Man in G. 0. P. Race for Governor. Times M'nshinnton Bureau. 7 .122 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Like Caesar, Frank L. Ball, millionaire Muncie manufacturer, now has twice put aside a crown, the crown in his case being support of the Watson organization for the Republican nomination for Governor of Indiana. Ball waved it aside again Wednesday at a luncheon -here attended by Senator James E. Watson, M. Bert Thurman, Indiana collector of Internal revenue, and Watson henchman; Col. E. P. Thayer, United States Senate secretary and likewise a Watson henchman, and others. Ball previously refused to run when urged to do so by Watson during the Christmas holidays. Watson Filing Expected Decision that Frank O. Lowden, Illinois, will not enter the presidential primary in Indiana was the outcome of another conference. Lowden’s withdrawal will leave a clear field for Watson, who is expected to file soon. The Lowden conference was attended by Clarence Buck of Monmouth, 111, Lowden’s national manager; Senator Watson, Thurman and William H. Settle, Indiana Farm Bureau Federation president. Despite the urgings of James P. Goodrich, ex-Governor of Indiana, Herbert Hoover will n>t enter the Indiana primary. Tfci* the understanding Wedneyitja when Goodrich paid another visV to the Secretary of Commerce. It is understood the Watson organization has been somewhat disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm manifest in Indiana over the announcement of the candidacy of Charles W. Jewett, Indianapolis, said to have been their tentative choice, and also by the vigorous announcement of Alvah J. Rucker, Indianapolis, which tended to weaken Jewett’s hold in that city. North Counties Not Satisfied Some of the Indiana congressional delegation from northern Indiana, it is said, have made known to Watson their dissatisfaction with the present set-up, by which the Republican nominee for Governor might come from Indianapolis, as well as Senator Robinson, w'ho is running for renomination. They feel that this gives \the capital city too much influence against the northern part of the State, which usually gives strong support to the Republican ticket. Their view's are an added source of worry to Watson. So far as sentiment has crystallized about possible candidates from northern Indiana, there seems some reaction in favor of Arthur H. Sapp, Huntington lawyer, president of the Rotary International.* ATTACK TRIAL DELAYED Robbery and Assault Charges to Be Aired in Court, Feb. 14. Trial of Charles Hall, 41, of 103 S. Liberty St., alleged to have beaten Alonzo Hart. 37. of 107 E. Morris St., into unconsciousness with a brick and robbed him of $5 Monday night, was continued until Feb. 14, by Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter, Wednesday. . . .

BY SWEDE SWANSON Times Automobile Editor CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—By its unbounded enthusiasm over the 1928 models on display at the twentyeighth annual National Automobile Show in the Coliseum, the motoring public today gave the word to car dealers and manufacturers to go ahead “in high.” Asa consequence, local and visiting dealers sought out manufacturers for greatly increased allotments of cars, and the builders in turn either wired or telephoned their factories to step up production schedules. There was no mistaking the fact that the great coliseum show and the welcome given the new models by the public were the signals and the inspiration that impelled dealers and manufacturers to redouble their activities. . Attendance Records Fall In the first place, attendance continued to gain in numbers over the figures set in the same length of time at previous shows. Already thousands more have inspected the motor thoroughbreds than in a like period in former years and by tonight the lead will be increased even more.

Brooks, sales manager of Marmon, that Samuel Harding, branch manager at Indianapolis, has been appointed regional manager of the Chicago region and Jack Hendricks, son of the Cincinnati baseball manager, becomes general manager of the sales branch at Indianapolis.

CUULIUUE HINTS HOOVER IS TO STAY IN CABINET President Is Not Expected to Interefere in Secretary’s Campaign. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER. United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The deduction of a good many politicians here is that President Coolidge will do nothing to hamper the movement to put Herbert Hoover into thft White House. So far as is know'n, nothing hat passed the discreet lips of the President to indicate that he will take any active part for or against Hoover. It would be against his nature and his attitude toward his office to interfere directly in the party’s choice of his successor. But a number of circumstances have given many to believe that the President is at least willing that Hoover should have the benefit of his role as part of the Coolidge Administration w'hile seeking the nomination. Following some speculative reports that Hoover is about to resign from the Cabinet to wage his preconvention campaign, a close friend of the secretary of commerce said emphatically that there will be no resignation before the campaign. The White House said Tuesday that President Coolidge had heard nothing indicating that President Hoover—to use the actual words that slipped out—had any intention of resigning. These two developments indicate to most politicians that Hoover understands he is welcome to remain in the Cabinet while his campaign for the nomination goes on. There is precedent for this. Charles E. Hughes remained on the United States Supreme Court until after he had been nominated in 1916. William H. Taft remained as secretary of War under Roosevelt until after he was nominated in 1908. Mystery in Piano Gift Bu Times Soecinl GARY. Ind., Feb. 2.—Wiliam 3.
