Hostetter, representative of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion in Seattle and formerly in charge of the Juneau office before its closing, arrived here on the Baranof and will continue on to Fairbanks by plane in connection | with work of his office, and per- haps touching at several other cities in the Interior and Westward before returning south. There are no immediate plans, so far as the Seattle office knows, for reopening of the Juneau office | at this time, the agent reported,| although it is felt that it is needed. An appropriation totaling $308,000 had been asked of Congress for Juneau and four other offices but so far no definite word has been given out of what the ultimate re- sult was. It is possible, Hostetter said, that the closed offices might be reopened if money is made available, perhaps in seven or eight months. 9 HALIBUTERS SELL, SEATTLE SEATTLE, June 18.—Halibuters | selling here today are as follows: From the western banks—Chelsea | 40,000 pounds, Helgoland 40,000 pounds, selling for an average of | 7% and 7 cents a pound.

Alfred ‘E Smith during his first term. | In the state convention that year | | the leaders virtually had decided | to nominate’ Mr. Hearst for gover- | | nor or United States Senator when | | Governor Smith stepped in and| thwarted their plans.

Miller, the governor announced himself as a| candidate for the gubernatorial nomination and insisted that he would not have Mr. Hearst as a run- ning mate.
