ILLINOIS BALLOT RACE WILL GET PROMPTJIRING Mrs. McCormick Spending Due for Speedy Probe by Senate Group. 8 11 United Preg WASHINGTON, May 13.—A situation which Senator Nye (Rep., N. D.) has described as ‘‘not reminding me of any rose garden,” is awaiting development when the senate primary investigating committee goes to Chicago in a few days to trace further the campaign expenditures of Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican senatorial candidate in Illinois. As chairman of the investigating committee, Nye has declined to amplify his statement, or to reveal the various reports which induced the committee late Monday to vote for an open hearing in Illinois as soon as possible. However, there have been reports and unsubstantiated evidence that in the campaign in which Mrs. McCormick defeated Senator Deneen (Rep., 111.), more money was spent than in the 1926 primary which resulted in Frank L. Smith being barred from the senate seat. Spent Own Money Mrs. McCormick has testified she spent $252 000 of her own money. Her books show only about $6,000 of this was spent in Chicago, where the heavy fighting was done. It is understood that much of the Chicago funds were supplied by the Big Bill Thompson organization and other independent organizations, which also spent some money in southern Illinois. Great interest is attached to the senate investigation because of threats that a contest might be instituted against Mrs. McCormick to keep her from the senate should she win the November election. Mrs. McCormick welcomed the investigation in a telegram late Monday to Thomas F. Donovan, chairman of the Democratic state general committee of Illinois. Sues for Vote Ban Donovan has started suit in the Illinois courts to bar Mrs. McCormick from the Republican senatorial ticket because of her own personal expenditures. In her reply, Mrs. McCormick expressed gratification “that you and members of the committee have no evidence to support exaggerated reports of my expenditures.” ‘‘lf your state committee fails to give every assistance now to the senate investigating committee, it, of course, will not be justified in presenting any unverified statements for political purposes in the approaching campaign,” Mrs. McCormick said. While the Illinois hearing is in progress, one member of the committee may be designated to go into the Pennsylvania situation before the May 20 primaries in that state, Nye said.

MONTE BLUE TURNS ! OUT TO BE A HERO A Copper, With the Aid of a Girl, Turns the Tables on a Clever Crook Who Framed a Pal in a Holdup. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN I tell you that “Those Who Dance” is a crook story showing the way a copper and a girl worked to get evidence against a ganster who framed one of his gang, do not think that it is just another crook story. “Those Who Dance” is distinguished by some mighty clever acting on the part of Monte Blue as a copper who had to work with Lila Lee to get evidence on the gang leader as played by William Boyd. Also good work is done by Betty Compson who is the kept companion of Boyd. Lila, to get evidence against Boyd, invades the den of Boyd and his lady. Lila needs aid in getting evidence so she arranges with
the copper, Monte Blue, to play sweetie to her. Blue is interested because his brother is the cop who was bumped off by the gang and the blame placed upon Lila’s brother. Some of the scenes don't look just
right but Lila and Monte are on the level. And so you are happy when Boyd goes to the happy hunting ground. And Lila and Monte live happily ever after. There is lot of action, good direction and some splendid acting in this one. The director feeds one speedy scene after another, causing the picture to reach a natural climax. I
