For he had brought the huge tri- motored monoplane to a_ perfect, landing here at 10:10 o'clock this morning, completing the last ai most ge ad leg of his tra oceanic it, fro Suva, Fiji Islands, a distance of 1,762 miles. The flight made in less than 21 hours at an average of 86-miles an hour. Showered with gifts, including $25,000 in gold from the Australian government for the unprecedented record breaking flight from Oak- land, Cal., to Captain Kingsford-Smith gave credit for the success of the 7,300 mile aerial voyage to his three associates, Cap- tain C. T. Ulm, co-pilot, a fellow Australian, and two Americans, larry. Lyon, his navigator, and james Warner, radio operator. Enormous crowds were up at dawn to welcome the flyers to Aus- tralia. Every road leading to the - Eagle Farm landing field was pulchritude.| blocked hours before’ the Southern the annual male} Cross was sighted. Captain Ki the! ford-Smith brought the jane too.| through a storm which test the ability of the crew throughout the night. Land wag first struck at Ballina, 50 miles north of here. This was due to the fierce winter storm which threw the plane slightly off course. But the navigator recov- ered bearings and headed south for the landing field here. MABEL BOLL HEEDS WEATHER WARNINGS New York, June 9.—(AP)—-Warn- ing against soy attempt today at a ‘BEAT HOOVER’ BIG HOPE South Dakotans Also Indicate Choice for Dawes After Initial Balloting Man Who Developed Ballinger Scandal and Guggenheim Row Is Leader St. Paul, June 9—()—Fifty-three votes cast by delegates from Minne- sota and the Dakotas in the Repub- lican ‘ional convention likely will be divided 46 for Lowden and seven for Hoover on the first ballot or two. This probable lineup is indicated |” by returns today from a question- naire sent out by the Associated Fress to delegates in these three states, asking their first and second choices for the presidential nomi- nation. One Hoover vote from South Da- kota on the first ballot seems as- sured, with the possibility of two, while six Minnesota delegates will follow the endorsement of their dis- trict conventions with votes for the secretary of commerce. North Dakota, through action of its Republican electorate in the pres- idential primary in March, will cast its thirteen votes solidly for Low- den, who also will get 21 Minnesota votes and all but one or two of South Dakota’s 13 on the early roll calls. Dawes’ Name Appears Often Just where the vote of these three states will go after the early ballot- ing is problematical, although the name Vice President Dawes ‘ap- pears most persistently in the “sec- ond choice” column, almost with un- animity in South Dakota. There a few instances in which ini Field work in the investigation of Indian affairs authorized by the United States senate is under way in North Dakota and the Montanas. This was evidenced in Bismarck today when field investigators em- ployed by the senate committee of which Senators Frazier, Wheeler, Pyne, Th and La Follette are members, gathered in Bismarck. They were headed by Louis R. Glavis, former federal land office inspector, whose activities are cred- ited with revealing the Guggenheim dal in Al ind starting the it ion which split ‘ion. Other investigators here were Captain Raymond Bonnin, former army officer, and Walter W. Liggett.

The survey boat Explorer, at sea far to the west, heard the SOS and the ticket. In South Dakota, only one dele- ite definitely listed Hoover as his first choice. While the state pro- posal convention in that state in- dorsed Lowden’s candidacy, such action is not binding on delegates, . according to the best available in- terpretation of the law.

Vilhjalmer Steffansson, arctic ex- plorer, scientist and discoverer of white Indians, also a North Da- kotan, would like to know. In a letter received today by Gov- ernor Sorlie Steffansson asked that North Dakota claim Eielson for its own and act to dispel the impression that Eielson was born in Norway. He called attention to the that Eielson, who was born in ton, has received more gold medals and more recognition from learned European scientists and from Euro- an royalty than any Atlantic or ific flyer to date. Governor Sorlie today wired Jimmy Walker of New York that North Dakota claims Eielson for its own and wants him introduced as its son at the forthcoming banquet in that city. ‘ Eielson was the first air mail car- rier in Alaska and is the foremost of the artic flyers from the United States.

BEN LINDSEY IN TROUBLE By leit fe Fe wif “Bureau says weather | f DEVELOPING IN DELEGATE BODY | Unpledged Republicans Hold Balance of Power, Declare Observers on Ground LOWDEN ARRIVES TODAY Anti-Hoover Leaders Expect | Him to Take Personal Charge of His Campaign Kansas City, June 9.—(AP)— Widening streams of Republican convention delegates are pouring in- to Kansas City to come to rest in three distinct pools. One of them is identified .as Herbert Hoover's, another as anti-Hoover and the third holds the doubtful and wait- ing. The delegates making up the lat- ter element hold the middle ground between the commerce secretary’s forces and those of the coalition al- lies—the variegated opposition leaders who are determined to block his nomination. Both sides look ta that figurative any-man’s-land with rising hopes. Hoover men now claim about 500 votes on the first ballot and in the doubtful and waiting group they are certain they will find the needed tallies to give the cabinet member the 545 and nomination. The allied foes are equally confident that enough votes will be added to those of Lowden, Watson and a few dark horses to effectually block Hoover. -The anti-Hoover movement looked for new inspiration today with the arrival of former Governor Lowden to take personal charge of his own campaign along with the movement against his chief opponent. His iia was expected to swing 4 ittle in his direction the volume of , | talk that heretofore has been dominated by the Hoover men whe were first on the field. Lowden himself looks to the mid- dle ground doubtful ones, which for the time being at least is expected to include the powerful Pennsylvan- ia delegation. That 79-vote group will arrive Monday with Secretary Mellon at its head. Whether Mel- Jon and his delegates will go te Hoover or to Coolidge, or perhaps to Mellon, is the question of most interest in campaign headqquarters. As more and more delegates ar- rive the forces of all camps con- tinue to mingle among them spread- ing good words for their chieftains. Through much of the talk, especial- ly that which comes in carefully prepared statements, runs a theme of conciliation aimed to prevent a party breach. The Hoover people are pleading for harmony to insure success in November if their man wins the nomination. From the Coalition camp has come a state- ment from Senator Watson and Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick—the latter a Lowden booster—that pre- sent plans do not contemplate a “bolt” in the event of Hoover's se- lection. Trains Begin A 1 They're coming—was the word spread today as reception commit- tees, reinforced by brass bands, mobilized to meet the first of the special trains bearing delegates ta the Republican national convention, While many delegates, committee- men, and observers already are on the ground, arrival of a specail train from California this morning marks the opening of an invasion destined to bring thousands here before the opening session Tuesday. Sixteen trains will arrive Monday bringing delegations from Arkansas, Alabama, Arizona, Washigton, Colo- rado, Kentucky, Maine, Delaware, nd, Massachusetts, Pennsy vania, Ohio, Minnesota, the Dakot: Indiana, New Hamsphire, New Jersey and other states. Lowden Reports Two presidentia! candidates were on the list of arrivals today. Ser ator Guy D. Goff of West Virgin: had a one hour edge over Frank 0. Lowden on this morning’s slate. Mrs. Lowden and Miss Florence Lowden are included in the party of the former Illinois governor.
