DELAY IN COUNT BRINGS TANGLE Canvassing Board Ignores Law Stipulation. Possibility for a tangle in Marion County election returns grew out of the refusal of the county.canvassing board to start totaling precinct results until 7 this morning. The election laws state the canvassing board shall go into session at the hour the polls close, which was 6 p. m. Tuesday. Ira M. Holmes, Republican member of the election board, announced, however, early Tuesday evening, that because the returns would be so slow in coming in, the tabulating clerks would not be put to work until 7 this morning. The canvassing officials contended that they had been advised by Fred C. Gause, Republican State election commissioner, that they might postpone the start of the count. The board office was kept open at the courthouse through the night to receive the tally sheets and ballots from precinct boards. Albert Snyder, clerk, and Members Holmes and James E. Deery, Democrat, were on duty most of the night. The first precinct to bring in returns was the Seventh of the Ninth ward, but one of the forms was not propertly signed and the documents were sent back to the precinct board for competion.

COFFIN CLAIMS LEAD Fraud Charged by Dodson Group in Election. Although the official returns will tell the true story—which may not be known until Thursday—George V. Coffin’s lieutenants today were claiming that they elected 200 of the 269 Republican precinct committeemen in Marion County in Tuesday’s primary. This would doubly insure Coffin’s stranglehold on the county organization, enabling him to name the new county chairman, to be elected by committeemen. Saturday, if he does not have himself re-elected. The rival Dodson G. O. P. faction was not admitting that Coffin had swept the committeemen contest, but Dodson leaders were making no extravagant claims. On the contrary, they bitterly were denouncing Coffin tactics, claiming that fraud was perpetrated in a number of instances to defeat their precinct candidates. They have threatened a number of contests, but said they would wait until the exact results are known before taking action. PEACHES THREATENS TO SUE WIFE OF MANAGER Claims Divorce Action Charging Misconduct Is Slanderous. Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 9.—Peaches Heenan Browning may sue Mrs. Katherine Allen, wife of Edgar F Allen, theatrical booking agent, for slander. That was Peacrfes’ answer today to Mrs. Allen’s divorce action which names Mrs. Browning as corespondent. Allen, through his counsel, said that he would bring counter action. “Why, the very idea,” cried Peaches, when informed that she and Allen had been accused of misconduct from April 1, 1927. “The first time I ever met Allen was. early in February, this year. I don’t believe that woman is right.” Try your next evening dinner a.t FLETCHER CAFETERIA, basement Fletcher Trust Bldg. 10:30 a. m. to 7:30 p. m.—Advertisement.

Dailey and ‘Shorty’ Are Selections That Tuesday’s primary election was merely a preferential vote, so far as gubernatorial candidates on either ticket were concerned, was indicated today, with returns from some 2,000 of the 3,610 precincts. Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier piled up 50,781 votes in 2,333 precincts for the Republican nomination for the governorship, and Frank C. Dailey 68,423 in 1,998 precincts for the Democratic nomination. These totals gave assurance that there will be no majority as required under the State statutes and both nominations will be made in convention. Schortemeier was pressed closely by Frederick Landis and Thomas H. Adams, both men basing their campaigns on a "house-cleaning” program. Landis’ total for the same number of precincts was 42,237, according to compilaiton made by the United Press, and Adams 35,111. Fredrick Runner-Up John E. Frederick, Kokomo manufacturer, was runner-up on Dailey in the Democratic column, his total for the same, number of precincts being 37,213. In Marion County, however, Charles W. Jewett, former Indianapolis mayor, was the favorite on the Republican ballot. In 147 precincts he polled 8,968 votes, while his closest opponent, Schortemeier, got 6.965. Dailey proved an overwhelming favorite in the Democratic ranks. His Marion County total for 153 precincts was 10,137, while his nearest foe was more than 9,000 ber hind. There are 269 precincts in the county. Crawford Next in Line Other State totals in the Democratic columns were: Earl Crawford. 13.787; George Dale, 10,001; George E. Hirschman, 5,578; Oscar B.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1928

FRAUD CHARGE IH VOTE GIVEN GRAHDJURORS Wholesale Corruption in Election Is Alleged by Prosecutor Remy. WITNESSES ARE CALLED ‘Queer Stuff’ Reported at Scenes of Committee Battles. Prosecutor William H. Remy and the Marion County grand jury today began investigating reports of flagrant porruption in some precincts in Tuesday’s primary election. They called Todd Young, lieutenant of George V. Coffin, Republican County chairman. Young was in charge of Coffin's campaign to elect precinct committeemen, while Coffin was home ill Tuesday. Prosecutor Remy had announced at midnight Tuesday that he was going to the bottom of numerous instances of “counting out” of candidates called to his attention, and drdered a long list of precinct election officials and watchers subpoenaed before the grand jury. The bulk of these will be interviewed by the grand jury Thursday. Young Quizzed Half Hour Young was in the grand jury room for half an hour. He was followed by Miss Lucille Brown, Negro, 1731 Columbia Ave., who had been directed to the grand jury by Albert Ward, United States district attorney. She had told Ward of having seen officials of the Tenth precinct of the First ward tear up ballots and throw them into the street Tuesday night. The prosecutor was informed that mast of the reported frauds were in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Seventh and Eleventh wards. Remy’s aids brought in evidence of deliberate throwing out of ballots and deliberate mutilations. Most of the fraud, Remy was informed, was in precincts where there were hot fights for the committeemanship. In some precincts Coffin men nosed out Dodson men by only a few votes, according to the count. Told of “Queer Things” Information that a certain citizen could testify to having seen queer things in the First, Second and Third precincts of the Thirteenth Ward was put before Remy. An Indianapolis Times’ reporter and a prosecutor’s agent stood on the front porch of 5223 E. Washington St. during the night and saw three men, ostensibly the election board, therein. One man was standing at a table marking on Republican' ballots with a pencil. A clerk near by wrote on a tally sheet, twenty feet down the room was the Democratic clerk, working away on the Democratic ballot. The law prescribes that the shall be counted in the presence of the whole board. As the reporter and prosec jtor’s agent stood there, up came Dr. Sam McGaughey, 5219 E. Washington St., who was inspector for this board, and B. C. Reed, 119 S. Butler Ave., the Democratic judge. Puts on Bold Front Reed appeared quite frightened, but McGaughey put on a bold front and blustered out that they had been to see about an automobile. Then McGaughey said they had elsewhere. The reporter came away from this precinct in possession of a slip of paper which had been given to a man with instructions that he could vote repeaters from certain street numbers designated thereon. The slip of paper is being turned over to the prosecutor. In the First precinct of the Twelfth Ward, Bernard West, Negro, inspector, was found out in the street at the polling place, 1441 Martindale Ave. Ballots were seen scattered all around the voting room, stuffed in sacks and anything else that appeared handy. The Democratic judge had gone. Mrs. Regina Gray, Democratic clerk. 1500 Brookside Ave., had gone home ill. George Wilson, Negro. Republican judge, 1300 Yar.des St., and Henry Tate, Negro, clerk, were asleep. West said that the election board had told him to go ahead and count the ballots himself and he intended to—after while. A man who gave his name as James Lanahan, 36, Grand Hotel, was fined $lO and costs and sentenced to thirty days in jail by Municipal Judge Clifford Cameron this morning when it was shown he created a disturbance near a voting place while intoxicated.

I Louis Ludlow was assured of the | Democratic nomination for ConI gressman over Henry H. Winkler | and Byron Horn. I It was impossible to rely upon the ! unofficial reports with certainty, but the standing of various candidates for the principal county offices. with approximately half the precincts heard from in each Republican race was: PROSECUTOR—Judson L.

SCANT MAJORITY IS GIVEN WATSON; ‘FAVORITE SON’ IS ‘NOSE VICTOR’ OVER HOOVER Secretary Tosses Scare Into Camp of State’s Senior Senator, Carrying Populous Centers of Indiana. MANAGER CONCEDES HE IS BEATEN Cabinet Member Carries Marion County and Runs Strong in Northern Tier Against G. O. P. Machine. By the scant majority of approximately 25,000 votes, Senator James E. Watson, “favored son” and machine supported rival of Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, captured Indiana's presidential preference vote and with it thirty-three delegates to the national Republican convention, unofficial returns from more than two-thirds of the 3,610 precincts in the State indicated this afternoon. Although suffering losses as severe as three to one in populous counties, Watson recouped in more sparsely settled districts and in a number of county seat towns to pull 147,126 to Hoover’s 125,879 in 2,624 precincts. This gave the Senator a majority of 21,247. with 986 precincts to be heard from. Oscar 0. Foellinger, Indiana manager for Hoover, conceded this afternoon that, “considering the actual votes cast, Herbert Hoover lias been defeated, but considering the fight he waged, and against whom, he has won a great victory.”

RESULT GALLED HOOVER VICTORY Delegates Urged to Vote for Secretary. Conceding the victory of Senator James E. Watson in the Indiana I primary Tuesday, Oscar G. Foel- ! linger, Indiana Hoover manager, J this afternoon asked that the l thirty-three Hoosier delegates at j the Republican national convention I support Hoover after Watson is ! eliminated. Foellinger’s statement; I “From the viewpoint of actual I votes cast, Herbert Hoover has been J defeated. But considering the fight he waged, and against whom, he has won a great victory. As opposition he met not only one of the most powerful political machines in the United States, but the combined energies of all the other presidential candidates. “That he lost only by a small number of votes is a distinct tribute to his popularity as a man, an executive, a humanitarian and an American. “Senator Watson is to be congratulated. We offer him nothing but the best wishes of the Hoover camp in Indiana. We do not believe that Senator Watson lias a chancy to be nominated, but as Hoosiers we •extend him the best of luck and ask only one thing, namely, that after his name passes out of the consideration of the national convention that he release Indiana’s thirty-three delegates. “There were but two candidates in the Indiana primary race. Watson places first. Hoover second. It is a moral duty on the part of Senator Watson to permit those thirty-three delegates to go to Herbert Hoover after the Senator is eliminated. 'To give those votes to any other candidate will be to misuse the honor which the State of Indiana has paid Senator Watson. “Hoover’s candidacy nationally cannot be stopped. That Indiana has chosen to give Senator Watson, a favorite son, a slight edge in this State means nothing except a compliment to the senior Senator.” OPPOSES TRACTION SALE Minority Bondholders Protest Indi-anapolis-Cincinnati Deal. Sale of the Indianapolis ar.d Cincinnati Traction Company • tv Charles T. Dehore and Leroy E. Eastman was protested today by minority bondholders. Attorney George H.

One hundred sixty-one of the 269 precincts in Marion County accorded Hoover 13,803, and Watson 12,882. Tabulations indicated the vote would not be as. heavy as at first contemplated, probably liot more than 400,000. Twenty-seven precincts of fortytwo in Delaware County, regarded as a Hoover stronghold, gave Hoover 3,123 and Watson, 2,610. Tabulation Is Slow Tabulation of returns was slow, due to the large number of names on the ballots and to the heavy vote. Shortly before 2 a. m. tabulations had been received from 802 precincts and gave the vote at that time as Hoover. 44,682; Watson, 39,301. • Earlier tabulations had given Hoover a lead of about 3 to 2. Watson headquarters was astonished at the strength shown by the commerce secretary. Predictions of a 200,000 majority dwindled to the prophecy from that quarter this morning that the Indiana Senator would carry the State by 25,000. Ft. Wayne and Allen County, home of Hoover’s Indiana manager, Oscar G. Foellinger, rallied strong-’ est to the cabinet member’s support, giving him practically a three-to-one majority. Ft. Wayne’s precedent was followed generally In the Twelfth District, which contributed an 8,000 majority to Hoover.

These returns, the first to filter in, fanned enthusiasm at Hoover headquarters at the Claypool, but were accepted as more or less to be expected, at Watson’s camp in the English. Reports of heavy voting in thp cities, particularly in Indianapolis and Lake County centers, lent further encouragement to Hoover forces and at midnight a Hoover victory seemed certain. Farmers Aid Watson Although the actual farm vote was light, small rural communities proved a boon to Watson, and bit by bit they enabled him to overcome Hoover's early lead. Southern Indiana came through to put the Senator abreast of his rival and from midnight on Watson forged steadily ahead. With more than two-thirds of the precincts in this afternoon, it did not appear that the Republican vote would exceed 400,000. Evans Woollen, local banker, unopposed for . the Democratic presidential vote, was given a liberal complimentary vote which might reach or surpass 200,000. MEETS WITH GOVERNOR Prison Board Seeks Private Water Supply at Michigan City. Indiana State Prison trustees today conferred with Governor Jackson on a plan to obtain the prison water supply from the Michigan City plant under a private contract. The prison plant needs repair and it is believed the private contract would be cheaper than for the State to replace the system, it is said. The plan will be submitted to the public service commission before final action.
