The convention failed to endorse a slate of delegates’ to the national Republican convention to make a bid for France's nomination, but instead passed a resolution urging the del- egates chosen by the Nonpartisan League state central Republican com- mittee to. work toward nomination of the former senator.

They also maintained all of the Japanese demands still were under consideration, although Japanese au- thorities said the Chinese had ac- ceded to all except the dissolution of the anti-Japanese societies. Thirteen additional Japanese. war- ships were ordered by the navy of- fice to proceed immediately to Shansbal from the Sasebo. naval ase.

She had not, she said, met Hal- loran before he and Mrs. Judd came to her-home that evening and asked her to go out with them. Went to Apartment They went to the apartment of Mrs. LeRoi and Miss Samuelson. “Was there anything said between Mrs. Judd and Halloran?” asked Assistant County Attorney G. A. Rodgers. “Yes.” “What was it?” “Ruth asked Jack to remember he had promised not to let Anne and Sammy know she was in the car. He said he would remember.” , Halloran, the witness said, went ‘into the house alone. “Anne came to the window and looked out. Ruth said to me ‘what do you think of Jack?’ “I think I said, ‘h€ is very nice’.” “She said ‘he is nicer than that. I think he is perfectly grand’.” Came With Two Others Halloran came out of the house, she said, with two other men, “Mr. Ryan” and “Mr. Townsend.” Mrs. Judd, Miss Moore said, took Halloran to task for allowing the other women to know she was out- side in his car. The witness quoted Mrs. Judd ying: “Jack they wouldn’t know I was hete.” “Oh, forget it,” was Halloran’s reply, Miss Moore said. Mrs. A. R. Lepker, who testified she first met Mrs. Judd last July when the latter “visited the sick” in a Phoenix hospital, and again the middle of last August when she went to the clinic where Mrs. Judd was employed, said “until after this trouble I didn’t know she was ‘Mrs. Judd,’ I know her as ‘Mrs. Buckley’.” ‘At the meeting in the clinic she testified “Mrs. Buckley” talked to her “about her boy friend.
