0.0, P. TO PAY HUGE SUM FOR NEGROBACKING Liberal Part of $4,000,000 to Be Spent in Wooing Colored Population, By KENNETH CRAWFORD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—A liberal part of the $4,000,000 the Republicans expect to spend in their efforts to elect Herbert Hoover will probably be devoted to win Negro votes. This became evident today with announcement that a Negro voters’ division of the Republican National Committee had been formed. The announcement, made by National Chairman Work, did not specify whether an intensive drive was to be made among southern Negroes. It was believed, however, that main efforts would be centered on the large Negro voting population in New York, certain Middle West states and the border territory. Organization Announced John R. Hawkins of this city, who seconded Hoover’s nomination at Kansas City, was appointed chairman of the executive committee directing Negro activity. Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh heads the publicity committee.

Organization committees and speakers’ bureaus will be established in Chicago and possibly in New York, with main headquarters here. An advisory committee of 200, headed by Charles W. Anderson of New York City, includes men and women from all sections of the country. “A spirited campaign in which business, professional and religious leaders will have a prominent and active part will be launched immediately,” Chairman Hawkins said. How the remainder of the $4,000,000 Republican war chest will be used is a matter of speculation. Perhaps one-third of it will be devoted to publicity and speakers. Other expenditures will be made for special bureaus for labor, women, service men, foreign born voters, farmers, commercial travelers, clerical help and office maintenance.

“Plenty to Spend” The Republican national committee spent $4,022,902 to elect President Hardnig in 1920, and was left at the end of the campaign with a $1,800,000 deficit. In 1924, with President Coolidge as its candidate, the party spent slightly more than $3,000,000 and had a surplus left from contributions. Work’s decision to set $4,000,000 as this year’s goal may be frowned upon by some party leaders, but others probably will agree that sum is needed. * “Smith will have plenty to spend,” is often repeated political gossip, especially since the appointment of several big business men to the Democratic campaign organization, and Republican leaders are apparently determined that they too will have “plenty”.

TEXTILE STRIKE ARBITRATION UP Decision on Question to Be Announced Tonight. Bu United Press NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 2. Strike-stricken New Bedford today quietly awaited the decisions of twenty-six mill corporations and some 23,000 employes on the question of arbitration. Whether the long labor dispute, now in its sixteenth week, is to be amicably adjusted in the immediate future, or whether the wheels of industry in this great textile center are to remain silent through many more weeks of strife, will be determined by these verdicts. The state board of conciliation and arbitration is hopeful that its peace proposition under which both sides would submit thPir differences to a disinterested tribunal —will be accepted. Today there appeared no other avenue which would lead to an early settlement. The question of arbitration was to be considered today and the results of the union balloting on the matter were to be announced at a meeting of the textile council tonight. ,

SMITH BACK AT DESK STAKES UP FARM PROBLEM South Subject of Another Conference Scheduled for Today. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Refreshed from his brief Long Island vacation, Governor Alfred E. Smith turned his attention today to presidential campaign problems, beginning with farm relief and the situation in the South. He will discuss rgricultural relief with George N. l eek, former Republican and chairman of the corn belt committee which still is agitating for the McNary-Haugen bill. Later, he will go aboard the yacht of William Todd, multimillionaire ship manufacturer, for a cruise with Senator Swanson and Governor Byrd of Virginia, from whom he will receive reports on the South. Seeks Smith’s Farm View The conferences today are the first of a series the Democratic presidential candidate will hold here this week, covering every phase of the coming campaign. He received a full report on campaign developments during the last few days Wednesday night from Chairman John J. Raskob of the national committee, his campaign director. There was keen interest, both in the Democratic and Republican camps, in his conference today with Peek. The Chicago business' man who turned his attention to the farm problem a few years ago, will seek from Smith his interpretation of the farm plank in the Democratic platform. Peek says it was an indorsement of the equalization fee principle of the McNary-Haugen bill. Peek has indicated he will declare for Smith and use his influence, for Smith’s candidacy among western farm organizations if the Democratic candidate’s position is satisfactory. Hold No Fear for South Raskob has indicated he is in sympathy with Peek’s views, though he is not committed to the equalization fee or any other specific form of farm relief. He has announced he will draft a farm relief plan to be presented to the voters in the campaign. This plan is expected to follow the equalization fee principle, but to be built along slightly different lines. Democratic leaders here say they are not alarmed about the South. They believe it will go Democratic solidly as usual. But Smith, it is understood, wants to discuss with Byrd and Swanson just what sort oof tactics should be adopted in view of the announced Republican intention to make a real campaign there. Both these men are expected to be offered places in the national organization.

DENIES WORK LAGS ON NEW SHORTRIDGE

Construction Chief Defends Contractors Against Commissioners. Denial that construction of new Shortridge High School is not being pushed as rapidly as possible, as charged by school commissioners Tuesday night, was made today by J. D. Eck, construction superintendent for H. R. Blagg Construction Company, contractors. School commissioners charged a lack of effort to complete the building. President Theodore F. Vonnegut Tuesday night asserted that “with ordinary pushing the building would be ready for use in September, instead of next January.” Eck declared the construction company is making every effort to complete the building within the contract time, which expires in November. “We are going just as fast as we can in view of the character of the work. Rough construction, including he framework of the building, progresses swiftly, but interior finishing can be pushed only so fast,” he said. “At present we are doing plaster work and it is almost impossible

to do anything else at the same time. Plaster must be placed and dry before interior woodwork can proceed or the wood would warp. "We were delayed in plastering by twenty-seven rainy days in June, which prevented drying of the plaster. "We expect to be through with general construction work, except for the auditorium and gymnasium by Sept. 15.” Eck said the construction of the auditorium was delayed about four months by indecision of school officials over placing of an organ, orders to proceed under original plans having been given only last week. "We have been ready for placing lockers for several weeks but only fronts and doors have arrived. That is not in our contract. The school board itself has several contracts to let for equipment and other work not in our contract.” New Shortridge. when completed, will have cost $1,250,000.

TURK FEMINIST OPENS POLITICS PARLEY TODAY Woman to Address First Sessions of Institute at Williams. By Times Special WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass., Aug. 2. —The Institute of Politics for the discussion of world affairs opened at Williams College today. The program will last a month and more than half of it will be devoted to problems in the Far East and Latin-America. Close to 300 persons will participate in the session. They come from twenty-four states, the District of Columbia, Honolulu and six foreign countries. Sets New Precedent To Halide Edib Hanum, Turkish feminist, revolutionary leader and authoress, has been accorded the honor of delivering the opening or convocation address of the Institute. Her leadership of a round table and lecture course on modern Turkey will be a departure for the Institute of Politics. Hitherto only men have filled such roles. But as a violation of precedent it will be far less sensational than her advocacy of feminine freedom in Turkey, her success as the first Turkish woman graduate of Constantinople College or her presentation of a Parliamentary petition for changes in the country’s marriage laws. Although a daughter of an official of Sultan Abdul Hamid's court, she was condemned to death in 1908 by Abdul Hamid for her writing in favor of liberalism. Organized Schools Her name was prominent in liberal circles long before the establishment of the Turkish republic. She was known as a member of the Union and Progress party of Talaat Pasha, and Djema, Pasha, as an eminent writer and poetess, and as an organizer of modern schools and clubs for Turkish women. Also on the list of lecturers today are two leading parlimentarians of Europe, Louis Pierard, Socialist and Labor Union leader in the Belgian parliament, and Dr. Otto Hoetzsch of Berlin, a member of the Reichstag since 1920, and an outstanding Nationalist and authority on Russian economic, political and social questions.
