NOBILE WITHIN SIGHT OF LAND ON ICE DRIFT Party’s One Tent Is Painted Red to Serve as Signal to Rescuers. SUFFERING FROM COLD 5 With Airship Commander; 10 Comrades Scattered in Two Parties. BY ERIK BERNDSEN g United Press Special Correspondent KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June 13.—Drifting slowly on a great ice bed, their one tent painted red so as to make it stand out as a signal to any searchers, General Umberto Nobile £tfid five comrades today were within sight of the coast of Northcastland . They are suffering severely. Their hands are frostbitten. Their food supply is limited and is being rationed carefully. Only the single silk tent serves to protect them from the rigors of the northern climate. Ten of their comrades are scattered on other ice floes, one group of seven and one group of three that started walking east. Nobile has heard nothing of them. Hopen Island, 280 miles away from the little silk tent which is sheltering Nobile, was selected today as permanent base for rescue airplanes. Russian and Swedish airplanes already assigned to rescue work wii! operate from the island, which is southwest of Northeastland—three hours flight from the position of Nobile and his men in the Arctic. It is expected also the two Italian seaplanes on the way will operate from the island. One Russian airplane aboard the icebreaker Malign, will remain with that ship. Nobile’s radio was silent throughout last night and at 9:10 a. m. today communication had not been restored. Seven Went With Dirigible It was feared that the radio accumulators of the portable wireless set, erected by the lost dirigible j Italia’s crew, had become exhausted, I as communication had been fre- j quent since last week-end. There was some hope, however, j that knowing the radio’s power was getting low, Nobile had severed communication voluntarily for a time. The great dirigible Italia, in which the sixteen men toured over the north pole on an epochal and disastrous flight that started May 23, is a loss. A gondola was ripped off in a sudden descent, separating Nobile and eight of his companions from other members of the party. The other seven men floated with the great bag and are lost in the great waste area north of North, eastland. Relief Rapidly Approaching But relief rapidly is approaching. The motor schooner Svalbart, equipped with gasoline and provisions, has started from Green Harbor. The steamer Bragandza advised Kings Bay it had been successful in breaking free from the pack ice and was returning at full steam to Kings Bay. > It will take on gasoline and relief supplies here. Two Swedish expeditions left Tromsoe for King’s Bay last night. They were the steamer Panja with three planes on board, and the steamer Quest. The twelve passenger Junkers plane Upland has been dispatched by the Swedish war ministry, Copenhagen advices said. Nobile Makes Report By THOMAS B. MORGAN . United Press Staff Correspondent ROME, June 13.—The north polar flight of the dirigible Italia ended suddenly, disastrously and from in unexplained cause on May 25 when the big craft shot downwards from a 500 meters altitude, Gen. Umberto Nobile’s official report of the accident said today. “At 10:30 a. m. on May 25 the Italia, regularly flying at a 500 meters altitude, suddenly became heavy starting a very rapid descent’’ the official report said. “We were, unable to check the descent either dynamically or statically, and after two minutes the airship dropped on the ice. “The gondola and also part of the upper framing was smashed, while the airship was carried e;istward by the wind. Two members of Nobile’s party were injured, the report said. One is recovering, but the other, having received an injury below the knee, requires some attention. Nobile reported that the party adrift with the airship should have foodstuffs and other supplies for a period of three months. lOWA TO BACK M r NIDER r " y Votes to Support War Veteran for Vice Presidency.

COOLIDGES START TONIGHT ON TRIP TO WISCONSIN

By United Press WASHINGTON, June 13.—President and Mrs. Coolidge planned today to leave tonight for their four months’ summer vacation in Wisconsin. The decision to start was made after the two White House physicians decided that Mrs. Coolidge has recovered sufficiently from her indisposition to start. She was much stronger and more cheerful today, after two days’ rest, following the relapse which caused the start to be postponed Monday night, less than two hours before the presidential special train was to leave.

Thomas h. adams, editor of the Vincennes Commercial, today addressed the following letter to W. M. Butler, National chairman, and member of the Republican National Committee, at Kansas City: “Dear Sir—“ln view of the fact that Senator James E. Watson has assumed the leadership of a movement to halt the presidential candidacy of Herbert Hoover, and in consideration of the fact that Senator Watson himself is a candidate for the exalted position of President of the United States, I believe that as a steadfast Republican I should advise you in this letter, which I have made

Williams and Underwood Also Named Assistant Superintendents. Succssors to three assistant Indianapolis school superintendents, whose positions were abolished last October by the school board, were announced today by Superintendent Charles F. Miller, following approval Tuesday night by the board. The new assistantts to Miller are Fred T. Gladden, former assistant superintendent, State department of public instruction; Byron B. Williams, present State public instruction statistician, and C. C. Underwood, Crawfordsville school superintendent. Gladden was named as transfer clerk to supervise disbursement of administration budget, transfer of pupils, redistricting of school city, and similar work, Williams was named to have charge of publicity and research work of the elementary schools. Crawford will be director, of elementary education. Gladden’s appointment is effective July 1, Williams’ Aug. 15, and Crawford’s, Aug. 1. Salaries Are Cut They succeed Assistant Superintendents D. T. Weir, Joseph F. Thornton and Miss Flora Drake, and Research Director Murray A. Dalman, who have been given teaching positions. Salaries of the new officials, it was learned, will be: Underwood, $6,000; Gladden, $5,000, and Williams, $3,500. Salaries of the deposed officials were: Weir and Thornton, $5,300 each; Miss Drake, $5,100, and Dalman, $4,300. Appointment, of Gladden, a Democrat, is a complete reversal of the board’s past position. Several members opposed Gladden, but approved his appointment rather than break with Miller. Underwood has been Crawfordsville superintendent six years. For several years he was superintendent at Painesville, Ohio, near Cleveland. He is a graduate of Kenyon College and took post graduate work at Columbia University and other universities. Fast Time in Offices Gladden was assistant State superintendent under Miller and was Miller’s choice for State superintendent when Miller resigned Aug. 31, 1927, to become Indianapolis superintendent. Gladden resigned from the State position at request of State Superintendent Roy P. Wisehart April 1 as a result of controvery over granting of a teaching license to Fay Green, daughter of W. O Green, Lexington, Ind., politician, Aug. 31, 1927. Lexington residents complained of the appointment and Wisehart discovered, it was alleged, through correspondence between Gladden and W. O. Green, that Miss Green had been granted a license by Gladden, although possessing not more than one-third the necessary qualifications. Daylight saving time was adopted. effective next Monday, for the school offices and shops. The fast time schedule is effective only until Sept. 10. when school reopens. The library started on daylight saving time Monday. Walter Gingery.

At noon he gave a luncheon at the Pan-Amex-ican Union for Capt. Emilio Carranza, Mexican army good will flier. Ten guests were present, including Ambassador Morrow.

ADAMS TELLS G. O. P. THAT KLINCK CONVICTION IS WARNING

public to the press, of the warning conveyed to the Republican party through the conviction in Indianapolis yesterday of Earl Klinck. a former henchman of D. C. Stephenson. This conviction of Klinck was in reality the conviction of Senator Watson and the political machine which he represents. Klinck was convicted by a jury in Marion County Criminal Court of perpetrating a forged affidavit designed to falsely contradict testimony given by William Rogers, a former Klan organizer, before the Senator James A.

PLANE FAILS TO TAKE OFF IN SEA DASH Race of Women Aviators Over Atlantic Delayed Until Thursday. CRAFT’S GAS TOO HEAVY Friendship Unable to Leave Water: Miss 801 l Set for Flight. BY J. T. MEANEY, United Press Special Correspondent ST. JOHNS, N. F„ June 13.—A prospective trans-Atlantic air race between Miss Amelia Earhart and Miss Mabel 801 l was postponed for a day at least when Miss Earhart’s Friendship failed in three attempts to leave the water and Miss 801 l announced her Columbia would not start before Thursday. Wilmer Stultz, co-pilot, with Miss Earhart, said he would reduce the Friendship’s load and try again Thursday to get the plane away from Trepassy Bay. Experts here believe the plane never will rise with a load of fuel sufficient to take it across the Atlantic. The bay, five miles long and half a mile, wide, lies northeast and southwest. A stiff westerly wind blows across it constantly, and makes a seaplane ascent difficult. It is regarded as possible that a start with a light load may be made from Conception Bay nearby. Asks About Rival The Columbia, piloted by Capt. Oliver C. Leboutillier and Capt. Arthur Argles, swooped to a neat landing at Harbor Grace Tuesday night, eleven hours after its left Long Island. It had made a record run. Miss 8011, the “Queen of Diamonds,” hopped from the cabin, looked about, commented on the beauty of the Harbor Grace port, said the flight had been successful and then asked about the Friendship—the plane of her rival. She was informed that five times Tuesday Pilot Wilmer Stultz, Mechanic Lou Gordon and. Miss fearhart had started.to take-off in the Friendship from the waters of Trepassey Bay. Each time the big craft failed to get away, because of the spray shooting over the wiring of the machine. Friendship Tries to Go “What hard luck.” Miss 801 l commented. “It is too bad. Really I sympathize with them. Anyway we are here.’’ She was not fatigued and seemed eager to continue the flight to somewhere in Europe. She and her two companions went immediately to the Cochrane Hotel, where an elaborate meal had been prepared. They retired early. The Bellanca monoplane will be refueled immediately in preparation for the transAtlantic flight. The Columbia, which was flown to Germany last year by Clarence Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine, behaved perfectly on the trip north from Long Island and made a record flight. It bettered Col Charles A. Lindbergh's time tc Burin Peninsula by forty-five min - utes. , DELAYS BRIBE GASES Judge Postpones Trials of Frankfort, Negley. Trials of Martin Frankfort, real estate dealer, and ex-City Councilman Claude E.

The two cases have been continued from time to time since March, when Boynton J.

The court and attorneys were unable to find a date on their calenders for the Frankfort case before July.

FARM BLOC WAGES BITTER FIGHT TO PREVENT HOOVER NOMINATION; TURNS ARTILLERY ON PLATFORM

Bar G. O. P. Parley Doors to Hoosiers ’ Farm March

CONVENTION HALL, Kansas City, Mo., June 13.—Ser-geant-at-Arms Lee Nixon, in charge of all admission arrangements, flatly refused to permit the farmers’ protest aggregation to come into convention hall, shortly after today’s session began. Edgar D. Bush, candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, who led the marchers to the hall, went inside to make arrangements for them to parade around the arena. He sought out Nixon, an old friend, and presented his plea. “We’re all good Republicans,” Bush said. “I’m sorry, Ed,” Nixon replied, “but they can’t come in without tickets. It would demoralize our proceedings.” “Our farmers will resent this,” Bush said. “I’m sorry, Ed, but I can’t do it.” Nixon replied. Bush then went outside to break the news to his marchers, saying, “I don’t know what will happen now, but we will be peaceful.”

THIRD PARTY FOR FIGHT ON HOOVER IS FARMER HOPE

Norris or Kenyon Boomed as Head of Ticket of Protest. It u United Press CONVENTION HALL. KANSAS CITY. Mo., June 13.—Moves to put a third ticket in the field agaiqst Herbert Hoover were being discussed among farm leaders here today. The present plan under consideration is to have a bi-partisan ticket headed eita:r by Senator Norris of Nebraska cT Judge Kenyon of lowa, who before he went on the bench was one of the insurgent Republican leaders in the Senate and head of the first farm bloc organized early in the Harding Administration. Representative Huddleston (Dem.), Alabama, long associated with Senator La Follette in his progressive organization, is to be asked to serve as the vice presidential candidate if the movement actually comes into being. Those working on this plan still are in a cautious mood and say they will not go forward with 11, unless there is a real public sentiment to sunport it. They believe La Follette world join the movement in Wisconsin and that Republican leaders in the two Dakotas would fall in line. Such a movement would be directed straight at trying to split the Republican tickets and its effect, if it was successful at all, would tend in the direction of increasing Democratic chances. Whether the situation takes form or not will depend somewhat upon what the platform committee does. It now is gripped in a long struggle over farm relief and should the fanners finally win their point it would be difficult for them to carry a bolt to any serious proportions. 3 JOBS TO DEMOCRATS Appointments to City Engim'ering Department Recommended.

Dawes Is Not Right Man on Hoover Ticket

THE figure of Charles G. Dawes. which has been in the background of the pre-convention campaign from the start and in the political maneuvering at Kansas City has been pushed into plain view by yesterday’s late developments Dawes supporters, said to be acting with the approval of the Vice President, are seeking to bring about the nomination of Dawes for Vice President. His supporters argue that he would lend strength to the Hoover ticket because of his advocacy of the McNary-Haugen bill. Hoover's own supporters admit that the contrary may prove true. That Hoover would be injured rather than helped through association with Dawes seems obvious to even a layman in politics. st u u DAWES has fought the Hoover candidacy every step of the way. He has aligned himself throughout with the ultra-con-servative interests. A sudden conversion of Dawes to Hoover principles, which he has so ardently denounced, would not sit well with voters. Dawes is no friend of labor. He is an arch-conservative. His record with regard to civil liberties is bad. It was he who organized the Minute Men of the Constitution. His share in the Lorimer bank scandal would provide the Democrats with campaign ammunition it would be impossible to counteract—possibly enough to sink Hoover and the entire Repuclican ticket. tt a a AS for Dawes’ advocacy of farm relief, there is little reason to believe that voters could be persuaded this was anything more than a political question. It is only necessary for proof to cite the fact that Dawes all along has had the support of the Eastern bankers, who are unalterably opposed to McNary-Haugenism, and to tariff revision, an obvious political mesalliance. A further element is the connection of the Dawes brothers with the oil and utility business. This would not be helpful. The Republican party would do well to consider whether it can afford to enter the coming campaign with a millstone around its neck,

ical tactics, Senator Watson was able to obtain a small majority over Mr. Hoover in the recent Indiana presidential preferential primary. a a a THE conviction of Klinck itself was not important, but it is . final proof that the leadership of Senator Watson thrives upon methods which disgrace and misrepresent the Republican party. “If Watson, after these disclosures, should be accorded any measure of national leadership, that in itself would be a discredit to the party. “Real Republicanism is being tested and the Indiana war

Agriculture Group Tries to Batter Its Creed Into Program; Insists on Showdown in Balloting. j BATTLE ON FLOOR DEEMED CERTAIN Majority Seeks to Heal Breach by Making Concessions in Several Planks; Drastic j Dry Clause to Be Inserted. Complete Convention News, Page 1, Section 2. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 13.—Fighting mad, the antiHoover farm relief forces were doing their best today to upset! the program laid down for the Republican national convention, as it opened its second day today at 10:30 a. m. The nomination of Secretary Hoover still was certain, but the allied candidates were clinging desperately to their scattered delegations and insisting upon a final show-down in the balloting. Suggestions that the hostile candidates withdraw and make the nomination of Hoover unanimous were met am6ng the allied forces Avith strong language, which can not be reported in these dispatches. Helpless to stem the forces massed behind Herbert Hoover, the farm group is driving its pitchfork into the platform.

Although Hoover forces are in control of the platform committee, the farmers and those pulling the strings behind them —have succeeded in deadlocking the platform drafters temporarily. A dramatic farm fight on the convention floor appears certain now. Farm leaders are attempting to storm the convention, just as they stormed the meeting of the platform committee yesteray. Last night they paraded around the convention district invading the headquarters of candidates, chanting, “We won’t vote for Hoover.” Hoover Forces Determined Determined to put Hoover over and certain of doing it, the forces in control of the convention are prepared to go to the limit in the platform to grant their demands—except to support the equalization fee. For the biggest problems of the Republican party now is to prevent the farm row, plus the other antiH lover agitation, from carrying over into the campaign after the nomination. The problem now is not the nomination of Herbert Hoover, for that is settled—it is the problem of preventing the party from going into the campaign with a hang-over like the Democrats had in 1924. The job is difficult, with party leaders like Senator Curtis, former Governor Lowden, Senator Watson, Charles D. Hilles of New York, and J. Henry Roraback of Connecticut still breathing fire and brimstone against Hoover. Try to Heal Breach Friends of Hoover are fully alive to this and are trying to heal the party's wounds as best they can by the nomination of a vice presidential candidate who will draw back the disaffected factions and by the adoption of platform planks which will placate them as much as possible, in view of the fundamental disagreement over farm relief. For this reason Vice President Dawes and General Pershing are in strong positions as logical vice presidential possibilities. Both are satisfactory to the farm group and both enjoy the support of veterans and other Influential groups. Another feature of the Republican strategy is about to appear The idea is that perhaps the Republican party can be induced to forget some of its own quarrels by attacking the Democrats. The platform sub-committee has agreed upon the Borah bone dry plank, specifically upholding the Eighteenth Amendment, which never has been mentioned in this way before in any Republican platform. The Republicans thus are preparing to take the dry side of the prohibition issue in event Governor { Smith is nominated. As the revolting farm States are I

against political fraud and corruption is far from conclusion, as the ending of the Klinck trial showed. “I have published the Vincennes Daily Commercial, a stanch Republican newspaper, and have been a loyal Republican all my life. During the last two years I have been fighting to free our grand old party from the taint of corruption that has infested it in Indiana. “I therefore earnestly request a rigid investigation of the acts of Senator Watson and of National Committeeman Thurman and I am opposed to Thurman being seated in the National Committee pending these charges.”

dry, the Republicans may be able to offer the farm relief losses by presenting Hoover as a dry candidate against the ivet Democrat from New York. The convention was called to order by Temporary Chairman Fess. Many delegates were scattered in the aisles and Fess had to rap several times to get them started to their places and to bring order into the assembly. The din of conversation drowned out his requests for “order,” but the convention gradu- | ally settled down. Blinding Glare In Hal! Klieg lights again cast their blinding glare over the hall as the movies clicked the record of this second day. Secretary Mellon again was at his post near the speakers’ platform, and talked pleasantly with several delegates. The report of the credentials committee, delayed in reaching the hall, seated the whole temporary role of delegates, approved previously by the national committee. Only one minority report, that for the losing Texas delegation, was prepared. The Porto Rico contest was the last considered. In one district of Wisconsin, the seat of Lieutenant Governor Huber, a Lafollette man, had been contested, but Huber was awarded the j seat. Took All Night i The committee sat through the night. Bishop T. F. Lillis of Kansas City was today’s chaplain and he asked divine guidance to aid the convention. The prayer finished, severed messages and telegrams were read. Utah extended an invitation to the convention to accept its hospitality and Fess announced the invitation gratefully was received. Fess warned the delegates to refrain from smoking. The crowd grew' restless, and began to yell. “We want Will Rogers.’’ The cowboy humorist was in the press box. Rogers did not respond, but the band quieted the turmoil by playing another tunc. Mrs. Willebrandt Appears Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrant arrived at the hall at 11:45 a. m. with the report of the credentials committee. As Fess yielded the stand to Mrs. Willebrandt, the delegates gave her a big hand. Standing before the microphone, she gave her report on the committee’s work. She told of the eleven-hour session in which she said the delegates had been heard carefully. The hallu quieted, and all listened intently to Mrs. Willebrandt’s report of the decisions by her group. She spoke clearly and somewhat rapidly, heading from a manuscript, detailing various phases of the decisions.
