HURLS CHARGE OF VOTE FRAUD DURINGRECOUNT Philadelphia Head Asserts Effort Made to Change Primary Results. B<4 Untie I Press " WASHINGTON. Aug. 5—A "concerted effort” to change the results of the primary election in Philadelphia to favor the Brown-Da vis ticket was charged before the senate a.mpaign committee today by S. Davis Wilson, Philadelphia deputy ompt roller. Wilson said a total of 77,918 errors had been discovered by the recount in 319 divisions. Invariably the changes were in favor of the Brown-Davis ticket, favored by the city organization and against the candidate opposed by the organization. W’ilson said. “The changes prove a concerted action in crediting votes to certain candidates known as 'war board candidates’ and taking away votes from other candidates opposed by the ’ war board.’” Wilson said. •New Marks for Davis’ There was a concerted action to increase the vote of the DavisBrown, ticket, comprising Secretary of Labor Davis as candidate for senator and Francis Shunk Brown as candidate for Governor. “New marks on the ballots were invariably for Brown and Davis, No case was found of erasures of votes for either of them. They were nut technical mistakes. They showconcerted action." Wilson said he had been following the recount personally nnd believed fraud existed in many districts. “Found at Head of Vote" Most of the errors, he said, were found at the head of the ballot, and m many cases it was evident the person who marked the top of the ballot had not been the same person who marked the lower part. “The answer to it all." Wilson said, "is that we have an organization in Philadelphia dominated by a certain group who have community interests with the heads of certain utilities and have a mutual interest in controlling the political situation. "It is organization men who count the ballots. Large pressure is used by the organization in the poorer sections to control the votes.* The ward leaders, Wilson charges, are citv employes who do their best to make a good showing in order to retain their jobs.

STARVING, BUT REFUSE HELP Family Fights Against Being Fed by Charity. Bu United Press BOISE, Idaho, Aug. s.—Good Samaritan officers today nursed bruises and lacerations while others attempted to “sell’’ the starving William Long Family the idea of charity as doled out by Ada and Elmore counties. The Long lamily—father, mother and four underfed but pugnacious children—were persuaded to leave their mountain retreat and come to Boise, but not without a struggle. The missionaries of charity were pelted with stones and bitten in the arms as they forcibly herded the family toward waiting cars. Emaciated from lack of food, the long family was in dire straits in a remote backwoods section. Officers came to their aid. The plan was to leave the children in a children’s home and help the parents make anew start. ~ But the plan met with obstacles. The children liked their wild life, even if it included few meals. The parents were quite content to pursue their mining venture, although they were so weak they barely could work more than several hours a day. Today in the Boise children’s home has been one long battle, with the four little Longs fighting for freedom the elder Longs charging officers were planning to “poison our kiddies.” Oil Stove Causes $15,000 Fire 8 1/ Times Special DUBLIN, Ind., Aug. s.—Fire which originated from an overheated oil stove destroyed the farm home with all of its contents at the farm of L.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
SOUTH OPPOSES FESS CHOICE AS G. (Ut CHIEF Huston Resignation to Open Fight to Win Control of Party Reins. Bu Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—When members of the executive commiti tee assemble here Thursday to ac- | cept the resignation of Claudius H. Huston as national chairman and discuss the selection of Senator Fess i (Hep., O.) for the place, they will I face a powerful southern G. O. P. organization that openly defiies the administration’s political reorgani-,, zation. Meeting at Savannah Saturday, the forces below the Mason and Dixon line, led by Huston and Col. Horace Mann in the 1928 contest, outlined a program of opposition to the policies of such administration spokesmen as PostmasterGeneral Brown and James Francis Burke, counsel of the executive committee. They expressed confidence in Mann’s leadership and afi--1 nourced their plan of building up a southern G. O. P. along their ow: lines. v Hope to Win Control
Their plan is to combat the administration influence at every point iii an effort to wrest control from the Brown-Burke-Newton faction. Should they prove unsuccessful in this, they hope to cement a political machine that will control the south’s 260 delegates at the next national convention. And they make no effort to conceal their antagonism to the administration, even though they would be willing to make peace on their own terms or a good compromise. Though Mann did not attend the conference, he took an active part in arranging it. He and Houston have not been playing together, politically, for some time, and now that Huston is on his way out, it is not expected the chairman will be regarded as a welcome addition to the fold. Program to Be Mapped But all the ingredients of a political controversy lasting through Hoover’s first term and into the battle over his renomination are present. The Mann group expects to have observers on hand when the executive committee takes up the problem of party reorganization, and there may be conferences with Huston’s successor, or successors, concerning the program they intend to follow. A last chance for peacemaking may present itself soon. SAVED BY FIRST AID Police Driver Dresses Wounds of Man Slashed in Fight. First aid treatment rendered by John Gish, police emergency car driver, saved the life of Fred Crouch, 28, rooming at 74d Lexington avenue, Monday night, physicians at city hospital declared today.

R. 8, Box 100, reported they surprised three chicken thieves Monday night. When deputy sheriffs reached the scene the two men were blasting away at the field with shotguns.
