A tale of eight cities is being un- folded in Washington this week. It concerns r 1 ambitions to se- cure Republican national conven- tion of 1 The contending com- munities are Detroit, Kansas City, Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Fran- cisco, Chicago, Minneapolis and Den- ver. Their chances are assessed in ahout the order named. The decision will be made by the Republican na- tional committee_at Washington on December 6 and 7. At this writing the choice is be- leved to lie between Detroit, Kansas and Cleveland, with Detroit ap- Iy having the edge.

Detroit is talking of sending Henry Ford to Washington to plead its con- vention cause. He will be seconded by his former_ partner, Senator James | Couzens of Michigan. Detroit’s claims | include a magnificent new auditorium, | s the fact that Michigan has no favorite | sons and the motor metropolis’ rich- | ness in hotel accommodations. Kansas City's_case will be pre- sented by Dr. E. B. Clements, Re- publican national committeeman from Missouri. He will offer the facilities of a vast convention hall and, like Michiga! souri’s lack of Republi- h presidential ambitions. City’s principal advantage, . C will argue, is Missouri's location in the heart of the disaffected agricuitural country. This is held to be a political advantage the G. O. P. should not ignore. Cleveland’s attractions will be voiced by Representative Theodore 5. Burton and Maurice Maschke, Re- publican national committeeman from Ohio, a Cleveland man. The Erie city’s claims rest mainly on the laurels of the Coolidge rati- ting of 1924, Since then Cleveland's great civic auditorium bhas been improved by transferring the speakers’ platform to the center of the hall, said to be a unique in- novation in convention hall archi- tecture. If Cleveland doesn't get the Rapublicans, it's confident of captur- inz the Democratic conclave in 192! With Speaker Longworth and Sena- tors Willis and Fess as dark horse presidential possibilities, an Ohio €i may be disqualified as a Re- Publican convention site. Until President Coolidge issued his “choose” statement, and when his re- noinination seemed a foregone con- clusion, San Francisco was far in the lead for next year's Republican con- vention. William H. Crocker, Re- publican _ national committeeman from California, is in possession of numerous pledges in the Golden Gate’s favor—a fact which may em- barrass the national committee in its impending deliberations. With Her- bert Hoover, a big factor in the G. O. P. race, the Coast State is likely to lo the convention because of Jeaders’ fears that the winds blow- ing in from the Pacific might unduly favor the Secretary of Commerce’s cause. Boosters Here for Philadelphia. Philadelphia has taken the fleld In Washington with an impressive dele- gation of boosters, headed by former Senator George Wharton Pepper and George B. Christian, jr. President Harding's_secretary is now affiliated with the Wanamaker organization in Philadelphia. He has many personal friendships in the national committee. Gov. Fisher of Pennsylvania, Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia and_some well known people like E. T. Stotes- | bury, Samuel Vauclain, Mrs. Barclay Warburton and Mrs. J. Willis Martin Il plead for Philadelphia. Penn-| svlvania, too, is devoid of G, O. P. favorite sons and will harp strongly on that theme. Philadelphians find that the Vare slush fund affair is a handicap they will have to overcome in the national committee. Chicago, geographically the ideal convention city, suffers from two drawbacks—lack of a first class con- vention hall and Mayor William Hale Thompson. “Big Bill's” gang and police power are not considered ap- propriate accompaniments for a great party conclave. There is the addi- tional disadvantage that Illinols has two presidential aspirants of the first rank—Lowden and Dawes. Each of the eight contending citles guarantees to endow the Republican convention with the $150,000 expense minimum required.

Examining an antique, four-bar reled revolver proved disastrous last night for Mrs. B. . Clark of Min- neapolis, Minn., visiting at 421 Shep- herd street, when the weapon went off, sending a .22-caliber bullet into ter abdomen. Mrs. Clark underwent an operation last night at Emergency Hospital, but the bullet could not be located. An Xeray will be taken today to find it. Her condition is not regarded as serious. The wounded woman told physi cians that she had noticed the odd weapon in the room and requested her uncle, James K. Utley. whom she is visiting, to hand it to her. As he did so. the gun went off.

Judge E. E. Hardin of the Whatcom County Superior Court rescinded yes- terday an order of his predecessor, Judge W. P.
