WET LEADERS SEEK INDIANA'S AID AT PARLEY Bingham and Butler Urge Henry Marshall to Get in Line. BY BEN STERN CHICAGO, June 13.—Leaders of •wet delegations from eastern states made an onslaught on the Indiana delegation this afternoon to obtai nits support for a minority report on a plank calling for a repeal of prohibition, and are being counted to determine the lineup. Senator Hiram Bingham 'Rep., Conn.) conferred with Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher, and had his assurance that, if elected to the resolutions committee, he would support a “dripping wet” plank. Nicholas Murray Butler, leader of the New York wet forces, also conferred with Marshall, who later went into a huddle with Will Hays, movie dictator and member of the “big seven” delegates at large from Indiana, said to be carrying Senator James E. Watson’s instructions which call for a “straddling” plank. Easterners Are Pleased Butler and Bingham were well pleaded with the result of the ferenceReports were prevalent that M. Bert Thurman, former national committeeman, “double crossed” by Watson for the Governor nomination last week, is using the telephone to line up delegate support for Marshall’s election to the platform committee at the state caucus tonight. Indications were rife this morning, following informal conference of Indiana delegates, that an attempt may be made tonight to have Indiana's thirty-one votes cst as a unit for repeal. This could be done by adopting a unit rule, which would enable the majority control the delegation. Opposed to Unit Rule But other leaders are strongly against such action and at tonight's caucus, when the policy will be decided, it will be suggested that the twenty-four delegates selected by the twelve districts voice the sentjment of their constituents as shown in the roll call by counties on repeal at the state convention last week. In event of such a split of the delegation, there will be at least thirteen votes for a repeal plank as against a possible eleven for modification only. The seven delegates at large or their alternates will be split. If John Ruckclshaus of Indianapolis votes for Governor Harry G. Leslie tonight, that means another wet vote, it said. Repeal leaders of the delegation predict that twenty of the thirtyone delegates will vote wet on the showdown Wednesday afternoon, when the platform is presented. The smoldering hatred between Marshall and Watson, which had its birth four years ago, when Watson thumbed down Marshall's bid for the post, may be cdn*d Sic the meeting of the national convention's platform committee and play no little part with the prohibition plan to be adopted here. While Marshall has enlisted a sufficient number of the thirtyone delegates to insure his selection, Watson’s friends are lining up behind William L. Hutcheson of Indianaplis, national president of the Carpenters and Joiners Union, for the same post. More astute leaders point out that as the state plattform gave labor nothing in the form of an afiti-injunction or anti-yellow dog contract plank, this would be a sop to that group. Watson Loses Clash Bit by bit, the real story of the wet pronouncement adopted by the state convention last week is cropping to the surface and it reveals that Marshall scored first blood in his feud with Watson. The plank voted into the platform was not, contrary to popular belief, that sent to Indianapolis by Watson. The senator’s proposal was one intended to straddle the question in a manner to prove pleasing to the dry organizations and is known here as the “three R’s.” It provided for the calling of a state convention to decide on “revisions, resubmission and repeal,” while the one voted upon asks that the only question submitted for consideration be repeal. The liquor question always has been Watson's Achilles heel. In 1908 he was defeated for the governorship when a special session, called on the eve of the election, passed stringent local option laws. By a “reverse English,” Marshall is seeking to win a repeat. The Marshall-Leslie coalition last week also defeated Watson when he sought to have Elza O. Rogers, former state chairman, named permanent chairman of the state convention and thus had Ivan C. Morgan selected. Leslie on Scene Tuesday But he will be without his right bower, Governor Harry G. Leslie, when the committee caucuses tonight, because the latter is not expected until Tuesday. With Leslie to put on the pressure of his office, it would not be quite so difficult to put the publisher over. Watson's alternate. State Representative C. Y. Foster of Carmel, is expected to go along with Marshall, it is declared; as will Robinson's A. M. Smith, Crawfordsville publisher. Because of the absence of Charles B. Enlow, Evansville banker, his substitute. Wilson Naylor Cox of Terre Haute, will be present and he hasn’t been lined up on either side. Gaylord Morton, secretary to the Governor, and Harry C. Fenton, state-committee secretary, are in charge of the convention ticket distribution, With Mrs. Beryl Holland of Bloomington, state vice-chair-man, in charge of Indiana headquarters. Everett Sanders, former Terre Haute congressman and secretary to President Coolidge, is chief sergant at arms for the convention and his assistant is Elam Neal of Wabash, who managed the Landis Governor campaign in the 1928 primary. Robert Oare, son of Judge Lenncl Oare, South Bend, and John Alexander of Purdue university, have been appointed pages for the convention.

SCENE OF WOE, SHOUSE'S VIEW Democratic Leader Voices Sympathy for G. 0. P. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 13.—Chairman Jouett Shouse of the Democratic national executive committee views the Republican national convention as a “lodge of sorrow,’ in which not one delegate in ten at heart approves renomination of President Hoover. “Had he not been President for four years, and were it possible for his party to name somebody else, without admitted that his administration has been a failure, he would no teven be mentioned.” Shouse opined in a formal statement from Democratic headquarters. All in all, the Democartic leader believed the Republican proceedings were bound to be a dismal and drab “ritual,’ with only a little fireworks over prohibition and the choice of a vice-presidential nominee. But the Democratic convention two weeks later—that, said Shouse, would be something different: “It is bound to be an active, dramatic coming together of every shade of democracy. In short, it will be what a convention is supposed to be—a meeting of untrammeled minds to hammer out of the forge of sincere endeavor the best ticket and the best platform in can obtain’ HUNT CHEMIST BURGLAR A burglar who “majored” in chemistry broke into the Broad Ripple high school building, the principal, K.

BY MAXINE DAVIS Cniled Preti Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. June 13.—Republican women have been coming to this, the third convention since women's suffrage, with more influence, more responsibility than ever before in their political lives. They feel they elected Hoover and say it will be up to them to do it again. Many of these committeewomen. delegates, and alternates have had a decade of practical politics. If they haven't learned how to line up the men. as yet, they have learned how to regiment the women. Smartly garbed, well-groomed, for the most part middle-aged, not humor, alert, they are not the hard-boiledf, anfeminine females the amis tsuffragists, not prohibitionists; feared.

DRYS TO PRAY FORJOHN D. Erring One Will Return to Fold, Women Say. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance CHICAGO, June 13.—Tears and prayers are the weapons with which feminine defenders of prohibition are meeting the bipartisan onslaught on their cause at the major parties’ conventions here. Despite the wets’ gains in recent weeks, the women white ribboners are not discouraged. Led by Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, social dowager of the Massachusetts north shore, they hope that mothers’ tears and prayers will draw erring parties and individuals back to the path of rectitude. "Yes,” said Mrs. Peabody, “we realize that John D. Rockefeller’s defection has hurt us. But he won’t be happy with the wets. I knew his mother well, and he can’t forget what she believed in- She used to kneel down in saloon sawdust with us.” So, every morning at 10:30, as the resolutions committee meets, Mrs. Peabody and her friends will fall upon their knees and pray for mistaken wets, including Mr. Rockefeller. “We feel toward him,” said Mrs. Peabody, “as mothers always have felt toward erring sons and fathers. He will come back to us—someday. And, meanwhile, we shall weep and pray for him and his friends.” As testimonial of her faith, MrsPeabody has moved from a ritzy hotel to be with her workers. Forestry Head to Speak Ralph Wilcox, head of the state forestry department, will speak at the first of a series of weekly summer meetings of the Warren Township Republican club tonight at Post road and East Washington street.

G. 0. P. SPIRITS RISE AS CHIEFS REACH CHICAGO I Air of Gloom Is Dissipated as Throngs Flock to Convention City. BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY United Pres* Stiff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 13.—There was more of a smile today on the face of the Republican elephant. Train after train rolled into the city bringing more and more delegates for the Republican national convention, opening Tuesday. They filtered through the city and buzzed around hotel lobbies. A ; large proportion of them laughed and joked. They gave Chicago almost its first touch of that carnival spirit usually a concomitant of national political gatherings. It made the elephant feel better. Scene More Cheerv i There still remained an atmosphere of gravity, which had its foundation in a realization that in this depression year the matter of selecting a presidential candidate is unusually serious business. But the atmosphere was not as thick, the j scene as quiet. Red, white and blue bunting had I penetrated into the Loop district I from the lake shore. More and more telephone poles took on the national colors and more and more lamp posts had white muslin elephants atop them. Stores began to hand out more flags. More banners directing visitors to this and that headquarters appeared in hotel lobbies—and more of them got knocked over by the larger and livelier crowds. The city seemed Sunday night to enter into the realization of its opportunity for a bit of excitement. Toward evening, the citizenry came downtown in greater numbers. Hotels became colorful with handsomely gowned women and their escorts. Celebrities moved about. Ernest Lee Jahncke, assistant secretary of navy, strolled about for a short time . William Allen White and Henry Allen ably represented Kansas. At the home of Silas Strawn, Nicholas Murray Butler and some others were dinner guests. 1 Fess and Brown Busy Senator Simeon Fess bustled around national committee headquarters. Postmaster-General Walter Brown came and went, seeming to feel pretty confident over the entire situation. Here and there a Negro delegate from some southern state would be seen among the crowds. They found plenty of people to talk to'. Each was ready with a story of doings within his delegation. State conferences or caucuses were held in numerous hotels. New York held the largest. Through the crowds there were two subjects uppermost—the prospects of a prohibition resubmission plank in the platform and the whisperings of revolt against the plan to renominate Charles Curtis for Vice-President. But most of the visitors went to bed early—that is by 2:30 or 3 a. m. which, for a national convention, is to be considered as early. CRASH HILLS WOMAN Wife of City Policeman Is Injured in Accident.

Dolly Gatin Is Cast for Major Role

Mrs. Dolly Gann By United Press CHICAGO. June 13.—Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister of Vice-Presidfent Charles E. Curtis, yet may become the Mabel Walker Willebrandt of the 1932 Republican convention. She is due here to take an important part in, if not actually lead, the fight to scotch the movement to unseat her brother as the party’s candidate for Vice-President. Party leaders admit her value as a winner of votes. Already she has made a preliminary tour, addressing numerous audiences successfully. One important astute and conservative politician explained it this way: “They come to scoff because of her feud with Alice Longworth, but they remain to pray, vote and make contributions.” * u Headquarters of the prohibition leaders at the Morrison hotel, located several blocks from the lake shore, where most of the delegates are quartered, was one of the busiest places in Chicago Sunday. Prohibition leaders were in conference most of the day. Although the tide seemed less favorable to them than in past years, they still could muster faint traces of humor from time to time. a u Arthur m. barnhart, chairman of the Anti-Saloon league, told his associates that the trouble with the prohibition forces was that they were broke. To prove it, he produced his coin purse. It bulged. He drew from it a bunch of keys. “I haven’t anything to keep in it but keys,” he said. ana Bishop James Cannon Jr., got a hand by referring to Alfred E. Smith simply as “Alfred Emmanuel,” and to John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, as “John Jacob.” a a St OUT at the Third Presbyterian church, were prohibitionists rallied during the afternoon, an elderly couple sat some two feet apart. “Those guys are going to talk all night,” grumbled the male member of the couple. ‘Well, why don’t you get out if you don't like it,” suggested the woman. Finally the man left. “Someone ought to kick him to death,” said the woman. "Who is he' s ” asked a reporter. “He’s my husband.” a a a Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of New York claimed the record as the oldest delegate from point of service. Speaking before the New York delegation caucus, he said he had been a delegate to Republican national conventions for fifty-two years. ‘Four years ago,” he said, “three others tied my record, but they since have passed on, and today I hold the record for service.” Fire Destroys Vanderbilt Home NEWPORT, June 13—The summer home of the late Reginald C.

SPEAKIES DEGIN HARVEST; DOOZE SUPPLYJ.AVISH Convention Visitors Line Up at Bars: Dry Agents Gaze Into Space. By United Press CHICAGO, June 13.—Chicago’s speakeasy proprietors today were prepared to reap the golden harvest they hope the Republican national convention will bring. In fact, a tour of well-known liquor dispenseries indicated the harvest already has begun. A mushroom growth of “branch” speakeasies has sprouted along Wflt Madison street, the route vistors follow to the stadium convention from the Loop. And downtown the 500 regular speakeasies that closed briefly last week to avoid last-minute raids opened their doors and revealed stocks of refreshments laid in especially for the vistors. Salesmen Travel Beats Mingling in the crowded hotel lobbies and saunting along Michigan boulevard were salesmen of the "delivery" bootleggers, passing out their cards and assuring delegates a supply of anything alcoholic awaited their telephoned request. A tour of speakeasies showed there had been no casualties among the well-frequented places, despite recurring threats of Prohibition Administrator Malachie L. Harney to use his 187 agents to “dry up” the city for the political conventions. One federal deputy explained his attitude thus: “Why should I get myself in bad by raiding a place now, when some senator or political figure is likely to be there? And I'm not going to frisk any one for a bottle, or go looking around hotel rooms for liquor. A lot of agents feel that way about it.” Gold Coast Resorts Jammed Gold Coast speakeasies. Just brief stroll from the Drake hotel, where many visitors are staying, were thronged" today. The favorite drinking place of Chicago and Illinois politicians a block from the city hall had the latchstring out. Throughout the city, it as obvious that Mayor Anton J. Cermak spoke in jest when he said last week § “There are no speakeasies in Chicago.’’ Indications were the “branch” speakeises in the stadium vicinity are likely to bring little profit to their proprietors. Most of the places are hastily converted lofts or vocant storerooms, and few of them make any pretense at elaborate furnishings. They will be abandoned when the conventions adjourn. SIO,OOO ALIENATION SUIT READY FOR TRIAL Mrs. Lora Niehaus Charges Woman Stole Mate’s Love.

Twenty-two witnesses—eighteen men and four women—have been summoned. Mrs. Niehaus recites in her complaint that she and her husband, a city fireman, lived in harmony forty years following their wedding Feb. 15, 1891. until the fall of 1930 when it is alleged Mrs. Pickard became a frequent visitor in the Niehaus’ home and is accused of causing Niehaus to transfer his affections to her.
