SEVERAL NEW NAMES ON 1930 ! PARHJICKET Hamrick Beaten by Mayr on Fifth Ballot for State Secretary. CONTEST SPIRITED ONE Gavel Halts Stampede to Clayton Man; Simmons Quits Race. BY BEN STERN A militant Democracy went home today—exhausted by almost twelve hours of oratory and balloting, but confident a ticket had been selected ■which will give a good account of Itself in the November election. Brand new faces and names will grace the 1930 ticket which will ride out ir. November to meet the Republican nominees selected a week ago. The Democratic nominees selected here Tuesday: Walter E. Treanor, Bloomington, supreme court Judge, First district; Curtis W. Roll, Kokomo, supreme court judge, Second district; Posey T. Kime, Evansville, and William H.

Milburn, Indianapolis. Mayr spurned for the nomination In 1924, was nominated on the fifth ballot. In the background of the Mayr triumph appears the figure of Virgil Simmons, BlufTton, eighth district chairman, one of the front rankers for the nomination on the fourth ballot, who got out of the picture in order that his political enemies, the Hamrick men, might be defeated by Mayr. For three ballots Mayr held the lead, Hamrick was second, Simmons third and Charles H. Garrison, Boonville, fourth. William Coryell, Marion, and Dr. O. A. Noland, Spencer, trailed. Coryell withdrew his name during calling of the fourth ballot. At the close of the roll call Dubois started the stampede to Hamrick by casting all cf its votes for Hamrick. Then Floyd, Delaware, Tippecanoe and Allen declared their delegations for Hamrick. Nominated on Fifth Ballot Just as Lake county shouted for recognition to cast its eighty-two votes for Hamrick. Milburn, acting as secretary, gaveled down the shouting throng and declared no more changes would be permitted because of the confusion caused tabulators. Protest after protest from the floor availed nothing. The roll w T as called, vote verified and Hamrick was short 161 votes of the 773 needed for nomination. Simmons withdrew and threw his strength to Mayr in order to beat Hamrick, who had aided in the fight against R. Earl Peters for re-elec-tion to state chairman in May. With the aid of the Simmons forces. Mayr was nominated on the fifth ballot with 963 votes. Hamrick had 530. Floyd Williamson, Indianapolis, wrested the nomination for auditor of state from Dr. George Sweigert, East Chicago, the 1928 nominee, court. 853 to 691.

Vernon, 1.01314 to 530*4, and Roll defeated Wilson D. Lett, Marion, 966-578 for the supreme bench, Fourth district. Won on Second Kime was nominated to the appellate bench from the First district on the second ballot with 843 votes. Although leading, he failed to make it on the first ballot. The third ballot was led by Bridwell, Sullivan, who failed the majority but won on the fourth ballot with 1,126 votes, defeating Harvey Harmon. Princeton, and Judge Fremont Miller, Franklin. It was necessary to take three ballots to select the nominees for the appellate court from the second district. Cole, Dearborn county school superintendent defeated Robert B. Hougham. Franklin, 82414 to 71914 for the nomination for superindent of public instruction. William V.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TROUBLES WITH WIVES CONTINUE TO VEXJAROL Report PA me. Lambrino to Assert Rights of Son as Crown Prince. Bu United Press LONDON, June 11—Several accounts of troubles in King Carol’s domestic affairs reached London today by various roundabout sources. One of the reports, published in the London Daily News, said word has reached Budapest from Bucharest that Mme. Zizi Lambrino had instructed her attorneys to assert the rights of her 10-year-old son, Mircah Carol, as crown prince of Rumania. Mme. Lambrino is the divorced, morganatic wife of King Carol, whom he rrfkrried prior to his marriage to Princess Helene of Greece, mother of Crown Prince Michael. She told the United Press in an interview in Paris that she had no desire for her son to be king, and only wanted him to be happy. The same report said Carol had settled 200,000 pounds sterling (about $1,000,000) on Mme. Magda Lupescu, the Rumanian beauty, whom Carol abandoned in France last week to claim his throne. The Daily News also quoted the Budapest newspaper Az Est to the effect that King Carol already had started proceedings to annul the divorce separating him from Princess Helene. The king promised Helene, according to Az Est, that if she consented to become his legal wife again, even if they lived apart, he would return Michael to her permanently, with the provision that he might see the young crown prince daily, and supervise his education. MARDI GRAS DATES SET The fourth annual Mardi Gras of the Sherman-Emerson Civic League has been set for July 24-26. The affair is held each year on the east side and draws large attendance.

CANNON AGAIN QUIZZED, BUT IS CLOSE-MOUTHED Refuses to Answer Senate Probers on Activities in Campaign. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June 11.— Bishop James Cannon Jr. returned to the witness stand voluntarily before the senate lobby committee today, but continued to decline to answer certain questions pertaining to his activities in the 1928 presidential campaign. The Methodist bishop, whose return as a witness occasioned considerable surprise in view of his dramatic “walkout’’ last Thursdaybased his refusal on the fact no decision had been reached concerning the committee’s authority to question him on political matters. Today’s developments left the examination of Cannon virtually where it was when the dry leader refused to appear further unless subpenaed. The committee, prior to Cannon’s appearance, had Jjeld a brief executive session in an effort to decide what action, if any, should be taken against the bishop on cotnempt charges, but no decision was reached. Quorum Is Present A quorum of the committee was present today when the bishop refused to answer the questions, whereas only Senators Walsh (Dem., Mont.) and Blaine (Rep., Wis.) were present last week. Cannon, who was instructed to appear again Thursday, previously had stressed the absence of a quorum in defending his ‘“walkout.” During today’s questioning the hearing was interrupted by a mid-dle-aged woman attired in black, who rushed to Cannon’s side and cried: “This is a Romanist holdup of Protestant America.” Chairman Caraway rapped for order and called for police, but a Capitol policeman already was at her side. The policeman grasped her arm and escorted her from the room. The questioning of the bishop, who had taken no cognizance of the woman’s interruption, then proceeded. Anti-Smith Worker The woman later identified herself as Mrs. Royal Sheldon Waldron of Virginia. She declined to state her residence, but said she had relatives in Richmond, Va., and was a prominent worker in the antiSmith campaign. Among the questions which the bishop refused to answer were those asked by Senator Blaine (Rep., Wis.) concerning pledges received from C. Bascom Slemp, former secretary to President Coolidge. The committee previously had produced a letter from Cannon to E. C. JamesijYi, New York financier, concerning these pledges. It was Jameson who gave Cannon $35,300 for use in the anti-Smith campaign, and only $17,000 of this was. reported. “I may be obtuse,” the bishop said, “but I thought I had stated those questions were directly objected to by me.” Blaine asked several questions along the same line, but Cannon repeated after each question. “I decline to answer.” Ex-Official Is Buried ANDERSON, Ind., June 11.—Funeral services were held Sunday for James P. Moneyhun, farmer near here more than sixty years and former trustee of Adams township.

THERE’S ONE SURE WAY TO PROVE THIS Between you and really sound teeth lies simply your request at your druggist’s: “Give me a tube of PEBECO Tooth Paste.” This is a fact. Pebeco I has proven to countless intelligent men and women that it does more j than an ordinary tooth paste. That | it means longer life for your teeth because it increases the flow of saliva, Nature’s own protective agent. That it means mouth cleanliness and freshness such as you never before experienced. The only way to prove this is to buy a tube and try it. — Advt.
