Will Call National Committee for Meeting Aug. 7 to Name His Successor Washington, July 25.—()—The stormy service of Claudius Huston as chairman of the Republican national committee is at an end. Huston brought a sudden close to the controversy over his leadership late last night when he told President Hoover that he would call the execu- tive committee of the national com- mittee together on August,7 and sub- pmuit’ his resignation. rnb president ay proved. Senator Fess of Ohio is the choice of the Republican high command to succeed Huston ‘and his ‘election by the executive committee which re- ceives the Huston resignation next month is confidently predicted. Robert Lucas, of Kentucky, who be- came commissioner of internal reve- nue a few months ago, is slated to take over the active campaign work for the approaching congressional elections as executive assistant to Fess. The new organization has the approval of President Hoover and it is his intention that it should get to wark early next month. Huston’s announcement of retire- ment came suddenly last night after @ hectic round of conferences. Coming to the capitol late in the evening Huston went into conference with James Francis Burke, counsel of the national committee. The white house visit was arranged immediately. The agitation against Huston be- came active shortly after he testified to the senate lobby committee that he had collected funds for the Ten- nessee River Improvement association for use in promoting Muscle Shoals legislation and had used these funds in his brokerage account before turn- ing them over to the association, of which he was president. The Republican young guard in the senate was among the most active against Huston but the revolt against his leadership spread quickly to the house where every member is up for election this year. The party row quieted when word was passed around that Huston in- tended to resign after congress ad- journed. But when congress adjourned and no word was forthcoming from Huston the Republican chieftains got busy. They decided upon a show- down. They met with Huston, who said he would nnounce his plans in bis own time and that that time would come after the special session of the senate adjourned. The special session ended on Mon- day and Huston was both silent and missing. Hurried conferences ensued. Mr. Burke and Joseph R. Nutt, of Cleveland, the committee treasurer, called Wednesday at the white house. They hastened to New York that night and saw Huston. Late yester- day Huston came back to the city.

July 25. — ® — Crushed and battered when four cars of a heavy roller coaster train toppled over the edge of a 35-foot incline at Krug Park here last night, pinning them beneath, four persons are dead and nineteen injured, three being in @ critical condition.

Edgecomb, city building inspector, ex- pressed the belief that an obstruction on the rails had lifted the front wheels of the first car off the rail, causing it to jump the tracks and pull the following three cars with it through a guard rail. The condition of four of the injured remained critical today. Among the quartet who may die are Mary Po- litika, 16, sister of Tony, and Mrs. Gladys Lundgren of Des Moines, Towa.
