REPUBLICANS SPEED WORK ON CONTESTS £ll Delegate Squabbles to Be Decided by Thursday, Say Leaders. HOOVER GAINS RAPIDLY Frantic Efforts of Foes to Stem Swelling Tide Prove Futile. Bn United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., June o. South Carolina Republicans announced to the Republican national committee at the opening of its hearings on contested delegations today that they had settled their differences among themselves. The contest involved four dele-gates-at-large from that State. The delegates will sit in the national convention as Hoover sympathizers, it was said. The Tennessee contests next were called and one of the two districts in which contesst had been filed was reported to the committee as settled amciably with J. E. Adams and Tom Crutchfield, Hoover men, selected as delegates. That left only the Tenth district contest to be heard from that State. Delegates Get Seats After arguments had been presented by John J. Jennings, one of the Hoover delegates, ihe committee voted to seat H. R. Church, Negro delegate of Memph s, and L. H. Bramer, alternate, of Memphis. Contests from Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi also have been disposed of. The Georgia contest involves only three of that State’s sixteen votes and presidential preference is not involved. The contest over the three delegates grew out of local factional disputes and probably will be settled without much trouble. The Georgia delegation is regarded as favorable to the nomination of Herbert Hoover. Hoover Wins Delegates The four State contests completed had to do with the seating of an aggregate of thirty-seven delegates, and of this number Hoover won all but two. The two exceptions are Walter Cohen, Negro, and J. H. Lowry, both of Louisiana. The other ten Louisiana delegates, committed to Hoover, were seated. Contests will be completed by Thursday evening. Meantime, the cleavage grows between the Hoover group and the anti-Hoover coalition. Elmer E. Bullis, advance agent for the farmers’ army, arrived here yesterday from Chicago, and predicted that between 60,000 to 75,000 farmers will besiege the convention in a demand for an adequate farm relief plank in the platform. Farmers in Earnest Bullis was appointed 't a meeting; of agricultural represe atives from fourteen States to come to Kansas City and complete plans for accommodating the farmers’ “invasion’ during the convention. “The farmers are in dead earnest about staging a big demonstration of agricultural strength here,” Bullis said. "I am certain that 50,000 will come to demand a fair deal for agriculture from the Republican party.” While not favoring the McNaryHaugen bill, Hoover leaders say when the convention opens thev will have a farm plank which should give the farmers all they want in the way of legislation.

Hoover Wins Victories BY JOHN M. GLEISSNER Sci-lops-Howard Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, June 6.—The cleavage in the Republican national committee becomes more pronounced as the contests over southern delegates are heard. The Butler-Hilles faction and other groups opposed to Hoover have come to grips repeatedly with the Hoover forces, and in every instance the commerce secretary has emerged victorious. Hoover already has acquired a third of the seventy-odd delegates in dispute, and unless there is a radical change in the line-up he will win the remainder. Where the question of what candidate will be supported is at issue, Farm Belt and Eastern leaders have tried frantically to change the alignment in an effort to block Hoover’s mounting total of votes, but they have not been able materially to alter the division. Ninety-six votes were recorded in an out-and out test in the Louisiana contest Tuesday and Hoover won, fifty-five to forty-one. The outcome of the contests may decide the nomination, since Hoover managers here claim he is assured of more than 500 votes at the outset. The Texas dispute, involving twenty-six votes on a clear-cut Hoover fight, will be heard late today or tomorrow, the pro-Hoover faction, led by National Committeeman R. B. Creager, will be seated unless there, is an unexpected shift. Hourly Temperatures t•- m... 52 11 a. m.... 54 8 a. m.... 53 12 (noon).. 54 9 a. m.... 53 1 p. m 54 18 a. m.... 54 GOOD FOOD.

Fifteenth St. One of the youths leaped from the machine and boa r d the milk wagon shoved a gun in Wilson’s face and ordered him to turn over his money. The answer was a kick in the shins for the bandit and a right swing to the jaw by Wilson. Angered and excited the bandit shot. The shot went wide of the mark and before another could be fired Wilson had hit the youth on the head with an empty milk bottle. The bottle broke. The bandit leaped into the car and drove away with his comrade. Wilscn whipped up his horses and drove into the plant. He turned the day’s receipts of SSO over to the cashier.

Spurred on by prospect of a transAtlantic flight race with Miss M ibel 8011, the crew of the monoplane Friendship today were waiting impatiently for a cross-wind to abate and permit them to take off for England from Trepassy Bay. Miss Amelia Earhart, Wilmer Stultz, her co-pilot, and Lou Gordon of the Friendship’s crew, read in local newspapers today of Miss Boll’s efforts to start a flight. Miss Earhart was restless and deeply interested in having a woman competitor for the honor of being the first woman to fly the Atlantic. She and Stultz admitted finally that the great secrecy they have maintained regarding their plans was due to fear that some other plane might start across. “We wanted to get the lead and keep it,” Miss Earhart said. “The others had been preparing for weeks ahead of us, and we know that our sudden start from Boston must have spurred them on.” Stultz was confident that the Friendship would win any race that might ensue.

THAW BARRED FROMENGLAND Denied Permission to Land; Planned European Tour. Ben United Press SOUTHAMPTON, England, June 6.—Harry K. Thaw was refused permission to land in England when he arrived here today after a voyage from the United States via Cherbourg, on the Aquitania. It was thought Thaw might appeal to authorities at London. Immigration authorities refused to explain the reasons for their decision. A clause in the alien restriction act bars any one who has been convicted of an extraditable crime. It was recalled here that American authorities for a time considered barring Countess Cathcart from the United States, though she was accused of no crime, because they had regarded her elopement with the also married Earl of Craven as evidence of "moral turpitude.” Thaw had announced his intention of remaining in England for about three days and then proceeding to the continent by airplane.

STATE DEMOCRATS READY TO BALLOT ON GOVERNOR; WEARY OF LONG SPEECHES Delegates Clamor for Start of Voting as Orators Heap Wrath on G. 0. P. for Orgy of Corruption. DAILEY FORCES SURE OF TRIUMPH Nomination on First Call Forecast by Backers; Candidates for Ten Other Offices to Be Named. Convention speeches and Democratic State platform, Pages 2 and 3. Delegates to the Democratic State convention at Cadle Tba. ernaele this afternoon grew impatient to start balloting upon a candidate for Governor, as the scheduled orators flayed tho Republican party and political corruption resulting from its rule of the State in the last decade. Interest in the contest for the Governorship was so high that before the program of prepared speeches was half over, the delegates became so restless that it was ncessary for the (••hair, man to demand order several timesThe 1,185 delegates were to select candidates for ten other offices besides Governor.

R. Earl Peters, State chair- 1 man, brought the convention to i order shortly after 10:30 o'clock, and opened the verbal attack on the G. O. P. Dan W. Simms, Lafayette attorney, as temporary chairman and keynote speaker, extolled Democratic principles and drew cheers when he bitterly condemned the “false leadership” of the Republican party. Lew O’Bannon, Corydon publisher took the gavel as permanent chairman, after adding sharp reproof of the State and national Republican administrations. Dailey Men Confident Delegates supporting Frank C. Dailey for the nomination for Governor went into the convention confident that Dailey would be nominated on the first or second ballot. The only cause for questioning his nomination on the initial ballot was the prospect of some counties spreading their first votes over the field to improve their position when balloting begins on other nominations. John E. Fredrick, Kokomo manufacturer, who ran 50,000 votes behind Dailey in the primary race, refused to withdraw his name, despite the certainty of Dailey’s nomination. Rumors persisted that the names of Earl Crawford, Milton and George R. Dale, Muncie, the only other gubernatorial candidates, would not be placed in nomination. No Nomination Addresses No nominating speeches will be made, the committee on rules and permanent organization decided Tuesday night. Another rule prevents county delegations from passing a vote on the roll call and is designed to prevent counties withholding their votes to learn the strength of a candidate before climbing on the bandwagon. The committee ruled that Indiana’s delegates to the national Democratic convention will go uninstructed for second choice for the presidential nomination. Friends of A1 Smith, New York governor, were contending that Smit would get the majority of the Indiana vote should Evans Woollen, “favorite son” candidate, withdraw his name. The primary law provides the delegation shall support Woollen as long as his name remains before the convention The Tenth district adopted a resolution Tuesday night directing its two national convention delegates to support Smith in the event of Woollen’s withdrawal. Despite the claims of Smith supporters, Democratic leaders insisted that the State would be
