M’NUTT SPIKES BOOM FOR VICE-PRESIDENT; DECLARES 1 MOVE IS STARTED BY FOES Blopmington Man Asserts His Sole Aim Is Governor Victory in Indiana; Delegation for Shouse. HOOSIERS FAVOR TWO-THIRDS RULE Indiana Group Leans Toward Baker; Roosevelt to Get Few Votes in Early Balloting*. BY BEN STERN CHICAGO, June 27.—The red light was turned peremptorily today by Paul V. McNutt, Indiana Democratic Governor nominee, upon any attempt to mention him as a vice-presidential or presidential possibility. In definite terms, McNutt announced his opposition to efforts of those he termed “political enemies” to use his name as a possible contender for the presidency, if there is a deadlock, or for the vice-presidency. “I am a candidate for Governor of Indiana, and that is absolutely all the honor I am seeking,” he told friends who

came to him with the report. “I regard the faintest mention of me for other positions as the work of political enemies, who attempt by this method to hinder that campaign.” That McNutt figures importantly in the convention is plainly* discernible. He and Thomas D. Taggart, national committeeman from Indiana, are being sought constantly by managers of the Roosevelt campaign. So far, the pair have managed to avoid any commitment. In fact, Indiana practically aligned itself with the opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt, when, at a caucus Sunday night, the delegation, upon request of Taggart, voted to support Jouett Shouse for permanent chairman of the convention against the Roosevelt selection, Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. Frank McHalc of Logansport, chairman of the delegation and McNutt manager, announced that Taggart, after a conference with the Shouse group, had decided to ask the Hoosier delegation to support Shouse and requested that the delegation be instructed to this effect “for the good of Indiana and for harmony.” To the surprise of all, Robert E. Proctor of Elkhart, Roosevelt manager in Indiana, made a motion to this effect, which was adopted without dissenting vote. Indiana in Strategic Seat McHale pointed out that Indiana is in a strategic position and “good politics calls for this move.” In accordance with this proShouse resolution, Richard Wernekf, Tere Haute boss, who originally had been appointed to the rules committee, was shifted to the committee on permanent. organization, with instructions ttpxSmf; to Shouse.” This also v'a,*- understood to have been done at the request of Taggart. In his stead, Mayor George Wagner of Jasper was appointed to the all-important rules committee, ■which will consider the question of abrogation of the rule requiring vote of two-thirds of the delegates to nominate. The Roosevelt group is fighting for the death of this century-old practice, to put over its candidate. Will Fight Abrogation Wagner, it wa sintimated broadly, will oppose the abrogation of the tw-thirds rule. This question was not discussed at the caucus, although McHale said it may be acted upon w r hen the delegation meets at the convention at noon todai\ McHale also voiced a plea for the delegates against pledging their votes to any candidate and asked that they wait until a further caucus before any action is taken. The Indiana delegation has become a local point of sentiment for the nomination of Newton D. Baker, secretary of war during the Wilson administration, who is the most prominently mentioned of all the other candidates, although Baker has made no announcement. But Baker managers have been conferring with Taggart. McNutt and R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and Werneke for the last two days. Will Vote Against Long Just before the convention opened at noon, McHale announced that he would call a caucus for Tuesday forenoon to discuss the question of the vote on the twothirds rule and the seating of Huey Long's dual delegation from Louisiana. McHale said that, in his opinion. Judge Clarence McNabb of Ft. Wayne, Indiana's member on the j credentials committee, would vote against seating Long's delegation, which is pledged to Roosevelt, and that the Hoosier delegation would vote to sustain that action. Nothing was said about this at the Sunday night caucus, and McNabb has not been instructed formally, but since that time it was decided that, in line with Indiana’s policy of supporting the Democratic national committee administration, the line of action should be followed. Baker to Get Votes Strategy outlined by the leaders of the delegation is as follows: If the Roosevelt managers fail to abrogate the two-thirds rule and fail to defeat Shouse. which are the two test questions, the Indiana delegation will cast no more than ten votes for the New York Governor, eight for Baker, probably eight for Alfred E. Smith, and four for Governor Ritchie of Maryland. As the balloting continues, the Baker vote wiH be increased. However, if the Roosevelt faction wins on those two major issues after they are taken to the, floor, then Indiana will, of course, climb on the band wagon. Managers of the New York Governor today were claiming twentyflve out of the thirty Indiana %’otes. but they have forgotten that the delegation adopted a resolution last Tuesday removing all instructions. With Baker sentiment gaining, as

it has been, it is extremely possible that when the whip is cracked the New York Governor will get no more than five votes, if that many. A peculiar situation regarding tickets has developed, the Indiana Democratic Club special, with approximately 150 aboard, arrived here Sunday. Those participating evidently thought there would be a plethora of tickets, but this delegation has been allotted only 420. Only twenty were available for the 150 and desperate efforts are being made to takp care of a part of the group at each of the sessions. The caucus also filled the following positions: Member of committee to notify presidential nominee, William H. O'Brien, Lawrenceburg; notify the vice-presidential selection, Mrs. James Riggs, Sullivan; honorary vice-president chairman of the convention, Mrs. Walter Chambers, Newcastle; assistant secretary of the convention, E. Kirk McKinney, Indianapolis; member of the credentials committee. Judge Clarence McNabb, Ft. Wayne. BARKLEY IS SLATED Urged as Temporary Head of Convention. By I nited Press CHICAGO.

American \Royalty ’ Sits at Democrat Council Fires

DAVIS fnlt*4 Pru* SUff Corrr*iwnlMt CHICAGO. June 27.—Two royal members of America’s vanishing aristocracy came today to sit around the council fires of the Democratic convention. They are Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, descendant of Chief Powhatan, and Mrs. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray, a princess of the Chickashaw tribe. No gathering of the tribe is complete without the party’s dowager’s empress. But this is Mrs. Murray's debut into national politics. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, tall, serene, smilingly silent on candidates and controversies, arrived at the Blackstone accompanied by Mrs. Cary Grayson, wife of the late President's physician and friend; her brother, John Bolling; Bernard M. Baruch, and her niece, Mrs. May Moeling of Chicago. She greeted friends with her grave smile as she descended from her motor car. wearing a navy blue polka dot dress, with a clever white packet, and one of the broad brimmed hats she usually wears. Mrs. Wilson never misses the meetings of the Democrats. Never by word or look has she tried to influence one of them, or even to hint at the opinions she quietly and definitely possesses. The envious of the past, the newcomers in the ranks, are all her friends.

SEABURY FLAYS FIGHT ON RULES

Thinks Two-Thirds Discard Bar to Election. By T'nitcrl Press CHICAGO. June 27.—Any candidate who discards the two-thirds rules of the Democratic national convention can not be elected, in the belief of Samuel Seabury, prosecutor of charges against Mayor James J. Walker of New York. Seabury announced his belief in a statement which thrust at the forces of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, who seek to have the rule cast aside. The Seabury statement declared: “Any candidate for the presidency who changes the rules which prevailed at the time the delegates were elected in order to win the nomination, can not, in my judgment, be elected. “Our governmental and party systems are founded upon the preservation of the rights of the states. The two-thirds rule is well calculated to protect these state rights. “Furthermore, experience has shown that the requirement that a candidate must obtain a two-thirds vote insures, in the long run, the selection of the worthiest candidate. “The rule is a tradition of the Democratic party and has been in force for a century. .The maintenance of this tradition and the other reasons which support the rule are too important to be sacrificed to a. rule-or-ruin policy in the epersonal interests of any candidate.” NOMINATING WOMAN Mrs. Greenway to Seek Vice-Presidency. Bn United Pres* CONVENTION STADIUM, CHICAGO. June 27.—Mrs. Nellie T. Bush (Arizona) will nominate Mrs. John C. Greenway, Democratic comrritteewoman from Arizona, for Vice-President. Mrs. Greenway, tall and attractive, is Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s closest friend. The nomination will not be merely a courtesy, said Mrs. Bush, a member of the legislature. The Roosevelt adherents are lining up some delegates. A hard worker for war veterans, Mrs, Greenway is one of the most popular women in the state. She was a bridesmaid at Roosevelt’s wedding and established a furniture factory like Mrs. Roosevelt's. The object of her factory was to aid disabled veterans. The Arizona delegation of nine men and three women is unanimously backing her.

“Some reasonable form of workable and enforceable assurance against bank failure? and against loss when failures occur.” Barkley flayed with sarcasm the farm and policies of the administration. The farm board, he said, “stabilized wheat from $1.25 a bushel down to 30 cents, corn from 75 cents # bushel down to 20 cents, cotton from 15 cents a pound down to 5 cents, wool from 20 cents a pound down to 7 cents.” To aid agriculture he said he felt "warranted in giving assurance” that the Democrats would "attempt to remove from the shoulders of agriculture a portion of the unnatural burden which it bears.” \ Lauds Woodrow Wilson Opening channels of trade, establishment of co-operative agencies “through which the farmer may work out his own problems,” relief of a character “so generously granted to other forms of industry and finance” and reduction of government expenses were some of the means of aiding agriculture which he proposed. “We shall take the government of the United States out of the dubious adventure of speculation in the products of the farm,” he asserted. Barkley began his speech with a review of present economic conditions, which he attributed to “a combination of politics and business in politics—a combination of ineptitude in government and the cupidity of a certain type of business.” He paid tribute to Woodrow Wilson. ironically told of the Harding administration as the “era of normalcy.” and that of Coolidge as the era of “economy an J inflation.” He clamed the abuses of the Coolidge era largely on to “the greatest secretary of the treasury since Alexander Hamilton and the greatest secret ary of commerce in all history.” *

vention, it is likely the old rule will be permitted to stand for this year at least. The desperateness of the gamble was seen when five large states lined up against abrogation. Indiana, Illinois and Kansas selected members of the rules committee who will fight the Roosevelt plan. New York voted 65 to 27 against any change, Ohio the same way by 51 to %. Even some Alabama members pledged to Roosevelt will oppose it. Virginia’s delegates declared unanimously againfet it. Roosevelt Loses Strength In the strife swirling about this issue. Roosevelt lost strength as a candidate, and in his battle against Shouse. The hostility toward steam-roller tactics grew contagious, and extended to the credentials contest. Several delegations favorable to Roosevelt will oppose the action of the Roosevelt-controlled credentials committee in seating Senator Huey P. Long’s delegation over a rival Louisiana group. It is just this reaction which the Roosevelt people fear and hope to stem by a compromise on the twothirds rules fight. Though Roosevelt picked up a few votes, it is estimated that these clashes and rivalries caused him a loss of thirteen New York votes, fifteen in Indiana and sixteen in Pennsylvania, This cuts down James A. Farley’s first-ballot estimate from 691 to 651, and impartial polls from 671 to 631. v Tactics Draw New Fire These last-minute shifts raised the hope of the allies that in the fight on Shouse and the two-thirds rule, Roosevelt may suffer reverses which will hurt his chance for the nomination. Each arriving delegation showed fresh resentment against the Roosevelt tactics, and groups pledged to the New York Governor mutinied. Senator Carter Glass (Va.) continued to bombard the proposed change. In another hot statement, Frank Hague (N. J.), floor manager for A1 Smith, characterized the move as ‘'traitorous,” and a majority nomination as “tainted.” In the face of this sudden uprising. the question of a vice-presi-dential candidate was shoved into the background. But anew name—-ex-Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska—bobbed up. JURY PONDERS ENTIRE DAY ON HORSE CASE First Hearing- of Kind in 30 Years in Hancock County. By Timm Special GREENFIELD, Ind., June 27. The horse again occupied the throne of fame in Hancock county today. For the first time in thirty years a jury of taxpayers weighed the evidence in a “hoss” case involving three farmers living near here. For twenty-four hours the jury deliberated, returning a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. Cause for the lawsuit was this: Last year John Sexson and Charles Prescher bought a horse for $135 from Frank Felt. The horse, the buyers said, was vicious. They returned it within thirty days, but Felt refused to return their money. Felt filed a ibll for the horse’s board for a year. Now he must pay the feed bill, along with the $135 and he still has the horse. VOTE MEDAL TO FLIERS Senate O. K.'s Distinguished Cross for Four Airmen.

Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland . . . long-time friend of A1 Smith . . . some folks predict this “dark horse” will inherit Al’s brown derby, which he is wearing here. By 1 'll itrd Press CHICAGO, June 27.—Not only was Governor Albert C. Ritchie's hat in the ring on one of his • first public appearances here as a presidential candidate, but his shoe came off, too. The GovernoV was jostled by the crowd against a hotel pillar, caught his Oxford against it, and found himself standing outside his shoe. A vain moment of fumbling convinced Ritchie he could not conceal his plight. The crowd cheered when the handsome Marylander deliberately seated himself comfortably and restored his footgear. Another one on Ritchie is that when some hundreds of people gathered outside his hotel, a passing Chicagoan inquired of # policeman what was going on. “It's A1 Capone,” said a second resident of the convention city. “No, it's Hoover,” exclaimed a third.

DEMOCRATS DRAW PLATFORM TONIGHT

Short One With Plenty of Punch, Is Goal of Committee. MY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, June 27.—The Democratic platform will take definite form by tonight, It is intended to be the party's answer to the country’s cry of dissatisfaction and distress. Partisans hope it will tempt voters everywhere. Its adoption will not quench immediately the growing national thirst. If, however, tentative planks finally are accepted, it probably will pledge the party to submission of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. with few, if any, entangling strings attached. It will be short. Os that, if of nothing else. Democrats seem assured. It may not go beyond 1.200 words, and Senator Carter Glass (Va.) guarantees it won’t be longer than 2.000. A. Mitchell Palmer of New York, said to have brought here informal platform declarations from Governor Roosevelt, is doing most of the drafting, and besides the prohibition plank, he has tentative drafts of economic planks which now propose: 1.

Genevieve Clark Thomson of New Orleans is here to attend I the convention. The famous two-thirds rule kept her father, the late Champ Clark, Speaker of the house, from nomination. He had a majority of votes at the Baltimore convention in 1912. but failed to win two-thirds of the delegates. Mrs. Thomson always has hated the rule, but would not discuss ita application to the present situation.

MAP FINANCING OF DEMOCRATS Party Leaders Seek Small Campaign Offerings. By United Press CHICAGO, June 27.—Democrats, looking to the necessary financing of the campaign, are planning a campaign for comparatively small contributions. A fund committee of around 600 to 700 persons is being formed, with each man assigned the task of getting a $5,000 contribution. This may be sought from an individual, or from a group of persons. The “angel” of the party, Chairman John J. Rasbok, is due to be supceded as national chairman at a meeting after the convention. With his passing, an almost unending source of funds will undoubtedly be closed. This will be all the truer if Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is the conventiorte choice, for Raskob is an Alfred E. Smith man, and opposes Roosevelt. Roosevelt, however, is credited with having many well-to-do friends who will be approached for aid. Likewise, the Roosevelt family is rated as possessing considerable funds which could be drawn upon in connection with furthering his campaign. Both major parties have experienced difficulties during the depression, in getting the sinews of war. The Republican party has started its campaign by floating a S2S,OQP loan, and the Democrats are now engaged in seeking the small contributions for a “victory fund.” RAIN HELPS CORN County Crops Needed It, Says Farm Expert. Sunday night’s rain was hailed as a boon to Marion county corn growers today by. Patrick Murphy, assistant county agricultural agent. “The corn needed it. We'll have a better crop this year than last. The rain helped the farmer's psychology. It made him feel better in every way,” Murphy said. The county's wheat crop harvest has begun. “Combines, however, will not begin operations on county farms before the end of this week,” Murphy said. “The wheat yield will be smaller than in 1931, due to lack of early rains.” APPROVE SCHOOL FUND 5140,000 Will Be Used for New Teachers’ College Building. Expenditure of $140,000 from the state education improvement fund for construction of anew building at the Indiana State Teachers’ college in Terre Haute, has been approved by the state budget committee.

Unemployment: It will deal with the present distressing phases of unemployment, its treatment no*, and a long-time program of remedy. 3. Government expenditures: It will demand drastic reductions of federal expenditures, and of all other governmental expenses. 4. International affairs: It will urge our adherence to the world court. None of these things, of courseincluding prohibition—will be settled until tonight when the full committee meets with the subcommittee. Roosevelt managers apparently are ready to accept any prohibition plank the convention agrees to, but there are others—like Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York and probably Ohio—that are ready to fight on the floor for outright advocacy of repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and of the Volstead act. Some want congressmen definitely pledged to these ends. But at this point there Is only a | fair prospect that a formidable minority report for outright advocacy of repeal and immediate legalization of 2.75 per cent beer will come from the platform committee. Farm relief forms the other chief issue to be settled by the platform I sub and full committee. New wit- | nesses Yrom farm organizations have i arrived and will be heard by the full committee this afternoon.

A crow’d of 500 communists and their sympathizers gathered three blocks from the stadium and spent the forenoon listening to Negro and white speakers denounce capitalism. Shrieking sirens of approaching police escorts and their guests in shining cars were the signal for the Communists to desert their speaker and line the curbs w'hile they shouted derisively at the visitors. Mounted police, patrolmen, squad cars, motorcycle police and plain clothesmen _ were massed between the stadium and the assembly of Communists. The officers had orders to prevent their marching w’ithin one block of the stadium where the convention was in progress.

BREWERY PREPARING FOR RETURN OF BEER New Y’orkers Announce Formation of New Firm; to Offer Stock. By United Press NEW YORK, June 27.—Local brewing interests took their first step today in preparation for a possible change in the prohibition law* by announcing the organization of the Fidelio Brewery, Inc. Confidence that the beer goblet will be restored to legal favor ran through the announcement that later in the week public offering will be made of 500.000 shares of $1 par value stock in the new company, whicU will take over the old Fidelio brewery, established in 1852. Since prohibition became effective the brewery has been turning out near beer and malt tonic at the rate of 15.000,000 to 20.000.000 bottles annually. With the addition of two bottling units, it was announced. it would be in a position to provide 5,000.000 cases of twentyfour bottles each of beer a year. STAND PAT ON SLAP AT ROOSEVELT CAUSE Massachusetts Governor Insists East Is “Off" Governor. By Un itrd Press CHICAGO. .Tune 27.—Governor Ely of Massachusetts and his secretary, De Witt C. De Wolfe, stood pat today on a statement issued through Smith headquarters last night on behalf of Ely in which there was a suggestion that Roosevelt would not have eastern support if nominated. The statement said Massachusetts and “other commonweilths east of the Mississippi” will constitute “extremly doubtful terirtory,” if Roosevelt is the standard bearer. A first draft of the statement made in the Smith headquarters was not issued, because Ely and his associates disapproved of its language.
