MIDDLE WEST BIG WORRY OF G. 0. P. CHIEFS Headquarters Table Shows Hoover Short of 24 Electoral Votes. BY RAY TICKER T!m* Stuff Writer CHICAGO. Srpt. 8.-~President Herbert Hoover falls short of election bv twenty-four electoral votes in an official forecast of the presidential balloting;, compiled by Republican chieftains at campaign headquarters here. The tabulation gives Hoover 242 electoral votes. 133 to Governor Roosevelt and lists 156 as “doubtful." A majority is 266. Although'the campaign heads say the list was framed on a deliberately pessimistic basis so as to banish false confidence, it reveals their worry over conditions in the midwest, the border states and the far west. But they maintain that the wavering sisters will be wooed and won back, and tell of application of ecenomic pressure on both the employed and unemployed. Confident of New England “It may be bad with Hoover, but ii will be worse with Roosevelt”— that is their campaign theme. . The states allocated to Hoover in the headquarters canvass are; California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Idaho, Kansas. Maine. Massachusetts, Nebraska. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Utah, West Virginia. Those given to Roosevelt are: Alabama, Arizona. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia# Oklahoma and Nevada. Those listed as doubtful are: Illinois, Indiana, lowa. Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Tennessee. North Dakota, Colorado, Oregon, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Washington. Their confidence in a Hoover victory in New England and the large seaboard states is based on the stock market activity, the supposed aloofness of Alfred E. Smith and his friends, Calvin Coolidge's indorsement of the Hoover-Curtis ticket and the Presidents personal •stand for revision of the eighteenth amendment. Morale Reported Belter These influences, positive and negative, are reported toe have improved the morale cf Republicans and to have won back deserters of two months ago. In the opinion of National Chairman Everett Sanders, Senator L. J. Dickerson of lowa, chairman of the senatorial campaign committee. and ex-Senator Henry J. Allen, publicity chief, the middle west forms the real battle ground. Even if Roosevelt carries most of the ''doubtful" territory, they figure hp can be repulsed in the sector embracing Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. What they are trying to guard against is a repetition of 1916, when Ohio, California, the south and west elected Wilson.

Green Indorsement Used to Win Roosevelt Votes

Praise by Labor Leader Two Years Ago Brought Forth to Refute Socialist. WASHINGTON, Sept. R. Although organized labor officially is neutral in the presidential campaign, the Democratic national campaign committee will make a vigorous bid tor individual labor votes, it was indicated today, on the strength of an indorsement Riven Franklin D. Roosevelt two years ago by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. The committee has issued a pamphlet containing Roosevelts labor record, in which it features Green's letter of unqualified praise for Roosevelt's administration of New York, and a resolution adopted two weeks ago by the New York State Federation of Labor, indorsing Roosevelt for the presidency. Th? pamphlet Apparently has been circulated at this time in an effort to counteract Labor day statements of Socialist candidates, in vthich the record of both Republican and Democratic candidates was scored. Novman Thomas charged that Roosevelt ‘has failed to do more than merely voice approval of the abolition of the seven-day week in New York,"’and has not met New York's unemployment relief problem adequately, The Green letter upon which the Democrats will rely says: "Your leadership as Governor of the state of New York stands out in a most striking way. Labor very seldr-m has secured the enactment of so many measures which so favorably affect their economic, social and industrial welfare during a single session of a legislative bodv."

Wagner Protests Ruling Slashing Relief Works

10 Per Cent Cut on Projects to Provide Jobs Draws Senator’s Fire. /// Scrip/ig-Hoirtml XcicHpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. B.—Senator Robert F. Wagner, author of the relief act passed by the last congress, today took sharp issue with a ruling by Controller-Gen-eral J. R. McCarl to the effect that the $322,000,000 allowed in the act for public works is reduced 10 per cent by provisions of the economy act. McCarl’s ruling followed protest frcm Seymour Lowman, assistant treasury secretary, under whose direction appropriations for public building construction would be spent, declaring his belief that congress did not -intend to cut by 10 per cent the funds it designed for emergency unemployment relief. The treasury intended to announce Wednesday how much money is available for immediate construction under the public works section of the bill, but McCarl's ruling caused it to change its plans, and withhold announcement for the present. The secretary of agriculture already has apportioned $120,000,000 provided in' the act for emergency construction on the federal aid highway system, and the money is being spent by the states. Wagner led the fight for public works, to which President Hoover was opposed. “The meaning of tfye economy law is that the maximum cost of an individual building or improvement, as heretofore fixed by law must be reduced 10 per cent,” said McCarl.

Green enumerates legislation regulating issuance of injunctions in labor disputes, old age relief for the needy, extension of the eight-hour work day on public works, extension of Saturday half-holiday to women and minors employed in factories and stores, improvement of the workmen's compensation and factory inspection laws, and prohibition of sale of prison made goods.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOY, 15, RAGES BY AIR TO VIEW DEATH SUSPECT Rush Lad Westward in Effort to Name Man Kenosha Slayer. Hu s nitni Prcn* PORTAGE. Wis., Sept. B.—A 15-year-old high school boy was speeding westward, in an airplane today to add bis testimony to that already accumulated against suspects in the slaying of Robert A. Wilson. Kenosha <Wis.) real estate man. The boy, Harold Gastrow, Lodi <Wis.) high school pupil, flew with Sheriff Alfred E. Gilbert to Sacramento, Cal., in an attempt to link Vincent Dominic, held th£re, with the Wilson slaying. It was feared Sacramento authorities would release Dominic before the two could arrive. Dominic was one of four suspects named in a confession made by Frank Tylius, former Kenosha saloon keeper, before he committed suicide in a jail cell. The other three are held here, together with Josephine Ross, Tylius’ sweetheart, arrested as she watched secretly while he was buried. Police- say Tylius confessed that the gang forced Wilson to sign promissory notes totaling $40,000 before he was slain. Handwriting experts reported Wednesday that the notes were made out by Miss Ross. The Gastrow boy has identified pictures of Dominic as the man who i stopped with Tylius at the Gastrow j farm for a drink of water on Aug. 24. the day Wilson was strangled and buried in a shallow grave on an adjoining farmstead. Sacramento authorities reported that witnesses had sworn they saw Dominick there several days before Tcminic there several days before

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. MKENNEY Secretary. American Bridre League. j THERE is little thrill in making a grand slam when all the suits break properly and all the j finesses win. Such a hand makes one feel a trifle ashamed for hav- j ing had such good luck. The r?al test of an expert lies in his pbility to realize the maximum results on a hand when all breaks are against him. The following hand was played by Oswald Jacoby in the national challenge team-of-four championship event of the American Bridge League.

A K-Q-8-2 VQ-10 ♦ A-8-4 A A-Q-J-10 y 7-5 I NORTH' *J6\l3O- - J-10- A- 5 VJ-9-3 9-6-3- 2 (/> AQ-5 2 % H AK-8-7-A 9-6-5- Denier 4 SOUTH A A-9-7-5 VA-K-8-6-4-2 ♦ K-7 *3 03

The Bidding Jacoby in the South opened the bidding with one heart, and his partner, Louis H. Watson, responded with a bid of three no trump. Far from being a sign-off, that bid showed a very powerful hand and it was the strongest kind of a slam invitation. Jaeoby had more than his original bid indicated, so he did not hesitate to bid six hearts. Watson bid seven hearts, which concluded the contracting. The Play West led the four of spades and when the dummy went down, Jacoby realized that if the spade suit broke his grand slam contract was assured. However, that break hard-

ly was to be expected, for the lead probably was either a singleton or fourth best. Next possibility which suggested Itself was a club finesse to permit a discard of the losing spade. However a finesse has only an even chance of winning, and therefore should be used only as a last resort. There was a better plan of attack which Jacoby proceeded to develop in the following manner. He played a low spade from dummy and won the trick in his | own hand with the ace over East's ten spot. He then led a small heart to dummy's queen, following with two more rounds of hearts and discarded the ten of clubs from dummy. He cashed the king and queen of spades in dummy, leaving East with the good jack of spades. He then led the aee of diamonds from dummy, followed by a small diamond, which wAas taken by his own king, and thereby establishing the jack of diamonds for West. Now he led out his three remaining hearts, which subject both opponents to a murderous squeeze. West dare net discard the jack of diamonds, because of the eight remaining in dummy, and therefore he can keep only one club. Jacoby discarded from dummy first a spade, then the jack of i clubs, and since West still held the jack of diamonds, the eight finally was discarded from dummy. East must retain the jack of ; spades, else declarer's nine will become good, therefore he also can hold but one club. Jacoby, therefore, was assured that his opponents each had only one club remaining, and. regard- ■ less of the position of the king, it j must fall on the ace. and the queen | of clubs in dummy would be good for the thirteenth trick.
