G.O.P. SCHEMES FOR OUSTING OF Its insurgents Couzens and Pine Expected to Face Opposition for Re-Election. Hn Bcrtttps-Howard Xncapavr Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—A preliminary movement is on foot to oust several Republicans from the enate who refuse to play ball with party leaders and whose votes have proved embarrassing to the administration in the present special session, it is reported. An attempt is being made to link the White House with the maneuver, The first to get word that their efforts to seek office again in 1930 will be contested are Senators Couzens of Michigan and Pine of Oklahoma. Governor Fred Green of Michigan recently spent several days at the White House. Reports spread that Green would oppose Couzens, with Hoover’s support. Pine says feelers already have already been put out in his state and several attempts have been made to get a strong candidate to oppose him. Whether Hoover has had any part in the movement, Pine said he only could surmise. ’’One report was that Patrick J. Hyrley, assistant secretary of war, was sent to Oklahoma by Hoover to lir up opposition against me. I .ound this to be untrue,” Pine said. Couzens long has been regarded as an independent Republican and often has been found voting with Senator Norris and the progressive wing of the senate. Pine was elected in 1924, when Coolidge carried his state overwhelmingly and at first was considered a Republican regular. Pine fell out with Coolidge over Indian affairs and since has been staying from the party reservation. He opposed Hoover's nomination at Kansas City and headed a delegation that cast its vote for Curtis for President. Senators Norris and Borah are two others who figure in the precampaigh talk. The difficulty in Norris’ case is expected to be in getting him to run, as he is 68 and said to be anxious to retire. If he does run, he undoubtedly will face strong opposition, inasmuch as ne supported Governor A1 Smith in the last election.
