G.O.P. CHIEFS IN UPROAR ON COOUUGEW ‘ Djraft’ Faction, Working to Deadlock Parley, Gets Crushing Blow. BORAH TO AID HOOVER Lowden, Dawes and Curtis Forces Plan Fight to Win Back Delegates. BY JOHN M. GLEISSNER Scripps-Howard Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 7. Word of the New York Telegram’s story that President Coolidge had written William M. Butler that he would not be a candidate under any circumstances caused an uproar here among members of the Republican National Committee and others, today. The news arrived as fast as telegraph wires could bring it yesterday and Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee and a close friend of Coolidge’s, was beseiged with inquiries. Butler insisted he had received no word of any kind from the White House, and did not expect to receive any, but it was pointed out that the letter might not reach him until sometime day. Although Massachusetts, Butler’s State, expressed preference for Hoover, Butler has been voting with the “draft Coolidge” faction led by Committeeman Charles D. Hilles of New York, in the contests over Southern delegates. * Hill 3S was Informed by the writer of the Telegram’s story. He declined to comment on what effect it would have on the New York delegation, saying he did not wish to anticipate the delegation’s action. He also declined to express a personal opinion. Hilles has been the leading “draft Coolidge” advocate and his faction claimed they would have 150 Cool- i idge votes in the convention. The j withdrawal of Coolidge and the J nomination of Hoover will mean the destruction of Hilles’ political in- j fluence. Hilles Badly Beaten Hilles has been beaten at every j turn in the sessions of the national j committee, although he has, the cpen support of Chairman Butler, and the anti-Hoover coalition of the western States. The importance of word from Coolidge cannot be overestimated. The possibility that he might be persuaded to run, or that his name might be used to bring about a deadlock, has been the chief hope of all the anti-Hoover groups. His refusal to permit his name to be used assure Hoover’s nomination, probably on the first ballot. Numerous wavering delegates, anxious only to vote for the winner, would hasten to get on t4* bandwagon. The eastern oligarch would be left with the alterratfve of supporting Hoover or a candidate committed to the hated McNary-Haugen bill. All question of what Secretary Mellon will do with the seventynine Pennsylvania votes would disappear, since Mellon has stated that he favors Hoover if Coolidge cannot be persuaded to become a candidate. Lowden, Watson Aids Confer Supporters of Frank Lowden and Senator James E. Watson conferred today to plan moves to regain a portion of delegates admittedly lost to Hoover in the contest hearings before the Republican national committee. Out of seventy-five contested seats, Hoover forces gained sixtyfive, including the entire Texas delegation of twenty-six. The “allies,” as the forces of Lowden, Wrtson and Curtis have been called, hoped to be able to contest the decisions of the national committee before the credentials "committee. Many of the defeated Texas delegation, headed by C. C. Littleton of Ft. Worth and Representative WunLach, favored going before the convention with their claims for Texas district delegates. If the calculations of the Hoover managers here are correct his acquisition of delegates from the South gives him a majority of the 1,089 votes in tue convention, and assures his nomii ation on an early ballot. Senator Borah of Idaho, it was reported, definitely has decided to swing his support to Hoover, and will second Hoover’s nomination in the convention. Idaho’s eleven votes are pledged to Borah and he controls them. Borah was represented as having received his opinion when he was satisfied that the platform would be sufficiently explicit on the questions of prohibition and foreign debts. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 7.—President Coolidge has taken definite steps to block the movement to renominate him. He already has notified William M. Butler, Republican national chairman and a close friend, of his decision, according to indications here. This Information comes from circlom close to the White House, wher It is definitely asserted the President has made it clear that the party must not look to him as its 1928 standard bearer.

Drunken Feet! They Were in Public Place, and So Judge Fines Their Owner.

IF a man’s feet are in a public place he is in a public place, Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter ruled today and found C. E. Shook, 49, of Versailles, Ind., guilty of public intoxication. Shook told the court that he came here Wednesday with two Ripley County officials to watch festivities at the Democratic State convention. He attended the morning session and then left. He hadn't hacj a drink for over a year, so that probably was the reason he became so intoxicated, he declared. i ana PATROLMAN JOSEPH SCHMITT testified he found Shook asleep in the doorway of the Mooney-Mueller-Ward building, Meridian and Maryland Sts., about 5 p. m. About a foot and a half of the lower part of his person extended over the sidewalk and .the,, rest, was inside the doorway, Schmitt said. Shook’* attorney contended that as the majority of Shook was inside the building, he could not be held guilty of teing intoxicated in a publ c place. “Well, his feet put him in a public place,” said Judge Wetter.” One-fourth of him being in a public place is enough to give him a fine of $lO and costs, which I’ll suspend if he promises to leave the city at once.” Shook promised.

SELECTION OF JURY DELAYS WKTRIAL Half of Talesmen Excused After Questioning; Nine Remain. ORDER SECOND VENIRE Absence of Raub May Delay Case If Panel Is Unfilled. Selection of a jury to try Earl Kllnck, Evansville, former lieutenant of D. C. Stephenson, proceeded slowly in Criminal Court today because so many talesmen had their own ideas about the defendant. Klinck is being tried before Special Judge Thomas Garvin on a charge of being an accessory to the fraudulent use of a notary’s seal. The State expects to show he procured a false affidavit in a plot to get Boyd Gurley, editor of The Indianapolis Times, and Thomas H Adams, editor of the Vincennes Commercial, indicted by the Federal grand jury. Talesmen Excused At noon adjournment, eighteen talesmen of the special venire of fifty men had been examined. Nine were excused and nine were still in the box for further questioning. Defense Attorney Howard D. Phillips questioned each talesman closely as to whether the fact that Klinck was a Klansman, a former close friend of Stephenson, and might not take the witness stand in his own behalf, would influence the juror against Klinck. Several talesmen Indicated that they would be influenced. Jpdge Gavin explained that the content of the truth or falsity x>f the alleged fraudulent affidavit was not material to the trial. Trial May Be Delayed If the special venire of fifty Is exhausted the trial may be delayed until Jury Commissioner Joseph R. Raub returns from a business trip. An order for a second venire of fifty Salesmen was sent to the jury commissioners Wednesday, but County Clerk George O. Hutsell has refused to open the jury box until Raub and the other commissioner are present. Raub was expected back tonight. Seven of the members of the first venire of fifty have not appeared and the court directed that they be summoned again in the hope that a jury finally may be obtained from this group. The nine talesmen excused this morning were: Nicholas H. Noyes, 1328 N. Delaware St., treasurer of Eli Lily Company: B. M. Forbes, 1923 Shelby St., lumberman; Clarence D. Markel, 5033 Carrollton Ave., auto mechanic: William T. McDonald, 4020 N New Jersey St., manufacturer’s agent; Walter E. Rhoder, 5150 Carrollton Ave., salesman: Louis J. Culman, R. R. A., farmer; Ora C. Pierson, 5445 N. Delaware St., contractor; William Low Rice, 5164 N. Capitol Ave., realtor; David Utterson, 206 El. Fifty-First St., manufacturer’s agent.

Off. 3851 Washington Blvd., metal worker; Ray E. Smith, Acton, farmer; Ira C. Minnich, 441 W. Georgia St., president of the National Dry Kiln Company; James Barber, R. R. C, miller, and Frederick C. Buesking, Cumberland, retire dfarmer. The last three are members of the regular panel. Prosecutor William H.. Remy and Special Prosecutor Emsley W Johnson appeared for the State. Klinck is charged with complicity In preparing a fradulent affidavit bearing the forged signature of William Rogers, 2313 W. Washington St., purporting to testimony he gave before the Reed senatorial investigating committee to the effect that Senator James E. Watson had shown him a Ku-Klux Klan inner council membership card. The affidavit stated that Rogers had been hired by Editors Gurley and Adams to “frame” Watson on this Klan affiliation testimony. Forgery Shown Klinck, it is charged, caused this affidavit to be taken to the Federal grand jury in an effort to get the editors indicted. The effort failed when it was shown thp wrong middle intial was forged in Rogers’ name. Judge Garvin Wednesday overruled motion of Defense Attorney Phillips to continue the case for a month on grounds of absence of two important defense witnesses, Senator James E.

Friendship Fliers Give Up Take-Off Attempt After Three Vain Efforts; Wait for Stronger Wind to Start. BY J. T. MEANEY. United Pres* Special Correspondent ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 7. —After three vain attempts to get their airplane Friendship off the water for a trans-Atlantic air race with Miss Mabel 8011, Miss Amelia Earhart, Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon took the ship back to its moorings at 10:30 a. m., Eastern standard time, to await a stronger wind. The three fliers had been in their plane since 10 a. m. after nerve-racking delays had held them back for two days.

Three times the big red and yellow Fokker was taxied down Trepassey Bay for the takeoff, but it did not respond to the pull of the lifting lever. There was nothing to do but take the Friendship back to its moorings and wait for the present light wind to increase in velocity. With each hour the head start of the Friendship's crew was diminishing, and they began urgently to query weather men as to prospects. Long Wait for Wind Vhis was the Friendship’s third setback. First there had been a leaky gasoline tank and then the wind was too high for a start. As it was, the plane waited twen-ty-four hours for the wind to decrease and then for weather conditions to improve, although at first they had been ideal. The Friendship’s failure to rise today was attributable entirely to the light wind and the plane’s heavy load of fuel. It was taxied the full length of the harbor three timees. Once, on the last attempt, the three powerful engines were opened to capacity, but the planed did not even rise clear of the water. ( Stultz said he would not try again until the present very light wind had become sufficiently strong to make a successful take-off certain. No Fog Off Coast At 11 a. m., eastern standard time, there practically was a calm. The day was dull, but clear, and there was no fog off the east coast bad - visibility area. The three fliers retired early again last night prepared lor a long rest in the event weather conditions might permit a start today The Fokker will carry two radio seta, one an emergency. One will be on a 300 meters length and the other 600 with ranges of from 250 to 1,000 miles. The machine will carry 800 gallons of gasoline and is estimated to use about thirty-five gallons an hour. It has a maximum speed of 125 miles an hour. CONFER ON HOSPITAL Mayor Slack Says Start of Program to Be Delayed Several Days.

Mabel 801 l Fails in First Attempt to Beat Woman Rival to Getaway. VETERANS GUIDE PLANE Two British War Heroes at Controls for Long Ocean Dash. By United Press CURTISS FIELD, N. Y., June 7.—Six hours after Miss Mabel 801 l started on what was to have been the first stage of a trans-Atlantic flight, she and two companions returned here today in the monoplane Columbia. A thick fog which settled over the air route to Old Orchard, Me., barred Miss Boll’s way, and prevented her from starting on a venture she hoped would bring her the distinction of being the first woman to fly the Atlantic. In the Columbia with Mabel 8011, the “Queen of Diamonds,” who aspires to be the first woman to fly the Atlantic, were Oliver C. Le Boutillier and Arthur Argles. Near Goal In Maine Argles estimated the Columbia was in the vicinity of Bath, Me., when it turned back. Bath is about fortyfive miles from Old Orchard. Le Boutillier said he would have been unable to make a landing at Old Orchard. “We thought conditions would be just as bad in Newfoundland,” he said, “so we had no choice.” The takeoff was at 6:15 a. m. . Leboutillier and Argles, British war heroes, were the pilots on this second trans-Atlantic flight to be attempted in the sturdy craft that carried Clarence Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine to Germany last year. The start for a few hours brought Miss 8011, known on two continents as “Queen of Diamonds” because of her great jewel collection, closer to realization of a desire born last year when she watched the Columbia touring in Germany. Sought Air Honor She then determined to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic—even though she was to be just a passenger. She sought to fly to the United States from England last year with Levine in the same craft that she started northward in today, but this plan fell through. Then she obtained use of the Coulmbia from Levine. It was reconditioned. When she learned that Miss Amelia Earhart was in Newfoundland prepared momentarily to fly to England, Miss 801 l pushed preparations for her own flight hoping to start on the long, hazardous journey before the Boston woman could get away. Air Veterans at Controls Leboutillier and Argles both wer* in the royal air force during the war and were in the squadron of Capt. Roy Brown, the Canadian hero, who is credited with bringing down Richthofen, greatest of German war fliers. Both Leboutillier and Argles were iTi squadron that engaged the Richthofen patrol on the day that Brown scored his notable victory. The take-off was bumpy. Th craft, loaded with about 200 gallons of gasoline, rolled heavily down the long runway and seemed to be gaining headway slowly. It rose slowly and proceeded straightway for about five miles before it banked suddenly and then started northeast and disappeared into the morning mist. Weather Is Favorable The skies were clear, save for the i egular mist that hangs over the field, and Indications were that the craft would encounter excellent flying conditions between here and Maine. Leboutillier was at the controls when the plane got away and Argles was close by. Miss 801 l was eagerly nervous as the flight started. A small group of girl friends had come to the field with her to watch the take-off and she went from one to another, assuring them that she was confident of making the flight to Europe successfully.
