OBREGON RADICALS BLOCK NOMINATION

Delay Presidential Choice; Ouster of Laborites Sought. BY GESFORD F. FINE United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, July 27.—Cautiously the various groups of the Obregon party proceeded today in an attempt to decide on the next president of the republic, with the left wing group determinedly demanding expulsion of the Laborites from the government. President Plutarco Calles still is the choice to succeed himself with Governor Aaron Saenz of Nuevo Leona the second choice. The left wing, however, is understood to be opposed somew.iat to both men. Oppose Saenz Recently Soto Y. Gamas, leader of the radical group, demanded that Calles expel Laborites from the government. It was understood today that this group had become disgusted with Saenz, who pledged support to Calles until the September Congress settles the presidential issue. The left wing group hoped Saenz would make some statement regarding expulsion of the Labor members of the government. Two days of meetings have been held without any definite agreement being reached. The meetings of the Obregon group are to be continued. It was considered probable there would be some additional demonstrations by the left wing group, demanding the ousting of the Laborites. Legal Obstacles Unimportant Meanwhile it was said that the possibility of Calles succeeding himself, after being appoi ted provisional president, depended mainly on whether he could satisfy both wings of the Obregon party. Objections to his succession were not considered to be legally strong as the history of Mexico shows that the constitution, which provider a president cannot succeed himself, is generally changeable to suit the majority of the people.

Augustino Sandino, the rebel leader, since discovery of the hiding place of 300 Sandinistas on the Honduran border. The encampment was traced by five United States Marine planes which laid down a heavy bomb and machine gun bombardment on the encampment.

Such stories have often been taken with a grain of salt by the individual’s family, who believe that these must be merely imaginative memories that have come to seem real to the individual. It is also possible that the individual’s “memory” of an event was gained in perhaps his third or fourth year of age, from hearing someone else recount an incident of his babyhood.

FRISCO WEARS FETE GARB TO GREETHOOVER Thousands Give Welcome to Nominee, Home in 'Story Book Return.’ PARADE TO BE FEATURE Buildings Gay With Flags, Throngs Jam Streets for Ceremony. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.—Herbert Hoover came back today to get a king’s welcome in San Francisco, where thirty-three years ago he trudged in his only suit of clothes, looking for a-job. Downtown buildings were decked with flags, crowds lined the streets through which the Republican presidential nominee led a parade, and everywhere there were pictures and signs “Welcome Home, Hoover.” It was the kind of story-book homecoming which awaits the poor orphaned lad returning to his home after he has made good. In the crowds were those who remembered when Hoover ran a laundry agency at Stanford University, thirty miles away, working his way through school. They remembered him, too, as the young engineer who left a S2O a day job in the gold mine drifts of Nevada City to come to Louis Janin, the big engineer here, to get a position as a real engineer. Cars Line Up for Parade Nearly 100 motor cars w’ere lined up for the parade, which started shortly before noon, from the Townsend street station. There the candidate disembarked from the special train bringing him from his college campus home at Stanford. The genial mayor, James Rolph, Jr., was master of ceremonies. He rode with Hoover through the streets to the city hall, in the rotunda of which he will deliver a speech of welcome. Hoover will reply. The half-hour ceremony is to be broadcast. When it is concluded Hoover will be escorted to the south boundary of the county, where mayors of the various little suburbs between here and Palo Alto will greet him. The party will stop at Burlingame en route for lunch with George Cameron, editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. The Palo Alto home-coming ceremonies will be last. They will be staged about 5 p. m., Pacific time. Hoover to Go Fishing The ceremonies were to have been staged when Hoover arrived home last Friday morning but were postponed because of the death of Mrs. Hoover’s father, C. D. Henry, Monterey banker. Saturday the candidate will set out with members of his party at 6 a. m. on a four or five-day fishing trip through the northern California redwood region. The party will have breakfast on the ferry boat which will carry the cars across the Golden Gate from San Francisco to Sausalito. The party then will proceed 285 miles straight up the coast to Mud Creek flat, where It will camp in the open in the largest grove of redwood trees in the world. 3 HELD InIjIRL’S DEATH Arrest of Men Follows Auto Tragedy in Terre Haute.

Elaborate Hotel Opened to Bid for Gaming Trade of Americans. Bn >'KA Service SAN DIEGO, Cal., July 27—A new-world rival to Monte Carlo is running full blast at Agua Caliente, Mexico, just across the international boundary line and a bare eighteen miles south of San Diego. The Agua Caliente Hotel and Casino, newly erected, is bidding for the trade of "big time” American gamblers—bidding for it, and getting it. None of Europe’s great gambling centers has much on Agua Caliente. The big casino, lavishly furnished, is doing a land office business; $500,000 is said to be a low estimate of the amount of money that passes across the tables every week-end. Is Spacious Place' The casino, where the games of chance are played, is a spacious place, with a big bar runing across one side. In the center are five roulette wheels, tended by croupiers in evening dress. No bet lower than one dollar is accepted. For those who want to proceed more slowly, there are other games —practically every kind of game of chance known to man, from poker to craps. But roulette wheels are the most popular. The commonest bet on these wheels is $25. Hotel Is Elaborate The new hotel was built at a cost of $1,500,000 by a company headed by Wirt G. Bowman and Baron Long. Associated with them are some of the best known names in the realm of sports. There are accommodations for 500 guests in the huge, one-story building, built in the Spanish style and grouped around an open patio. At the entrance is an elaborate set of chimes which ring every hour and can be heard for miles up and down the quiet Tia Juana valley. Adjoining the Intel Is an 18-hole golf links, while natural hot springs nearby, said to have medicinal values, are being surrounded with bath houses. The whole layout is designed for the patronage of wealthy Americans. The bar serves a complete line of drinks, most of them retailing at 50 cents a glass. Good champagne is sold at $5 q pint.

CAL WILL TRY TRAPSHOOTING Ready to Prove His Skill at Rest Lodge. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Pres* Staff Correspondent CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Wis., July 27—Having shown himself adept with rod and reel. President Coolidge stands ready to prove his skill at trap shooting. Establishment of a trap shooting range at the summer White House has aroused Mr. Coolidge’s sense of competitive sportsmanship. He is eager to match his hand with members of the executive secret service staff, who are excellent marksmen, or other members of his official vacation party. Today, when a squad of workmen were busy completing preparation of the traps, the President stood nearby and watched their operations with considerable interest. He inquired into proper distances, target regulations and trap shoo ng etiquette. He is expected to make his first shot soon, probably after noting the luck and skill of others competing on the range. Secret service men at Cedar Island Lodge look upon the trap shooting facilities with an appreciative eye. They long have wanted such a sport, and the fact they have seen deer loiter along paths at the summer White House, and rabbits scamper through the dense underbrush surrounding their tents, without being able to bag any game, has piqued their sportsmanshi‘HUßDLEß’ FLEES COPS Prowler Makes Escape Under Fire of Police.

2,272 Inmates Rescued as Hospital Burns at Loss of $200,000. Bit United Pris* NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 27.Urged by the knowledge that many Insane persons are lurking somewhere in the vicinity of this city, posses today pushed their search for more than fifty inmates of the Central State Hospital for the Insane, liberated when a $200,000 fire swept the institution today. The fifty or more patients at large escaped the vigilance of officers and set off afoot through the fields surrounding the institution. Among them are eleven men sent to the institution after being convicted on grounds of insanity. Two of them were convicted of murder. All residents of Nashville have been warned to be on guard for them. Escape Into Rain A bolt of lightning which struck the building late Thursday is believed to have caused a short circuit in an electric light wire, which caused the fire. Erskine Young, night watchman, looked out of a window shortly after midnight, and saw one of the cupolas of the building aflame. Running to the office of Dr. S. W. Farmer, superintendent, he pounded on the locked door and Anally aroused Dr. Farmer, The superintendent took one look at the blaze, towering above the central building, while 2,272 helpless patients cowered in adjoining wings. “Turn the patients out,” he ordered. Keepers went through the building opening every cell, and the hundreds of patients, many of them clad only in night clothing or wrapped in sheets, filed out into the drizzling rain. Lunatic Jumps Fire Truck Memories of a similar disaster thirty-five years ago when many inmates were burned to death in their cells, prompted officers to hurry the patients from the building. Many stared dully at the flames, without comprehension. Everywhere guards and officers guarded the crowd. In, spite of their vigilance, many patients slipped away across the fields and along the road to Nashville. Asa fire engine from the city swung into the prison yard, one demented man swung himself aboard and rode the truck. After hours of fighting the blaze was confined to the administration building, and those patients who had been kept on the hospital estate were taken to their cells.

On either side of the Genter of the exhibit will be a cornucopia; one will be pouring out pumpkins of all shapes and colors, and the other will be pouring out rich golden corn for which Indiana is famous. Asa background of each of these side wings will be an autumn scene typical of the “Injun summer" haze.
