P. Victory in State. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. MEMPHIS, Tenn., February 11.—If there is any Southern State which the nomination of Gov. Smith of New York for President on the Democratic ticket will throw into the Republican column jon election day. by all counts that State should be Tennessce. ‘The reasons for this are threefold. The New York Governor is disliked here because he is a wet and because he is a Catholic. But just as im- portant, is the fact that Tennessee con- tains a large number of Republicans, 50 large, indeed, that they, with occa- slonal Democratic support, have elected Republican governors several times, and In 1920 carried the State for Pres- ident Harding against the Democratic nominee, Cox. In that year five of the ten members of the House were chosen from the Republican pairty, too, and today two congressional districis are represented by Republicans. Republicans Hopeful. This should be a red letter year for the Republicans in Tennessce, provided the Democrats nominate Gov. Smith and the resentment against 8mith con- tinues. The Republican list of presi- dential possibilities contains the names of twd men at least awho are popular in Tennessee, Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce and former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of filtnols. Mr | Hoover is well liked in Tennessee be cause of his flood relief work. He madc many personal contacts in the State during the flood period and thereafter, and he is highly regarded. Gov Low- | den has been a frequent visitor in the | State. He owns larg: farming prop- erties in Arkansas. just across the riv- | er, and among the farmers of Tennes- see he is regarded as the farmer' champlon, as he is In other States of the Mississippl Valley and in the North- west. Mr. Hoover, if nominated on the Re- publican ticket for President against Bmith, should carry the State, provid- ed the Republican organization works earnestly for his election. The same may be sald of the chances of success of Mr. Lowden, or almost any other Republican nominee, with Smith as the Democratic opponent. The east- ern part of Tennessee is quite strongly Republican The first and second co gressional districts is represented in the House by B. Carroll Reece and J. Will ‘Taylor, respectively, both Republicans Mr. Taylor is the Republican national committeeman and the Republican power in Tennessee today. It is in the middle part of the State and the went- ern end, particularly i Bhelby Coun- ty, which is Memphis, that the Demo- cratic _stronghol are found and where Republican difficulties arise. ‘There have been and are bitter fac- Uonal differences among the Fepubli- cans, especlally in the wesiern end ot the Btate, all of which co not tond to promote the election of Republican | candidates. he black and tans ugainst | the Uy whites.

By the Amaciated Press Conferences between Secretary Hoov- er and some of his supporters in Ohio have brought increasing indications that he will announce shortly he is at least a receptive candidate for the Re- publican presidential nomination. If the Commerce Department head intends to enter the race and is willing to make a fight for a part of the Ohio delegation to the Kansas City conven- tion. he must disclose his hand within two weeks. Under the Ohlo law, a can- didate’s personal consent must be given by February 24, if delegates pledged to him are to be in the field in the April {to mix in the April | Magasine Heetlon primaries. Senator Willis of Ohlo is an avowed candidate for President. Recently he recelved an endorsement from the Re- publican State’ central committee. by 19 to 1 vote, but a few days later a group of Ohio Republicans met in Co- lumbus to urge the Commerce Secretary primaries with Willis, who has announced he was pre- pared to fight. As chairman of the Ohio Hoover- for-President committee, Thad H Brown, former secretary of State in Onifo, came to Washington yesterday. After conferences with Mr. Hoover, Walter F. Brown of Toledo, who is As- sistant Secretary of Commerce: Repre- sentative Burton of Cleveland, who has declared for Hoover, and others. he re- turned last night to Columbus, ap- parently pleased with the outlook. While there was no direct statement as to Mr. Hoover's Intentions made in| any quarter for publication, Brown sald he was returning to Columbus “ex- | tremely hopeful that we in Ohio will be permitted to work for the selection of delegates for Mr. Hoover.” Mr. Brown's Statement.

NEW YORK, February 11.—The night sky above New York Is soon to be swept by an invisible searchlight that shows on a screen everything on which its rays fall. Arrangements are now being made by Capt. O. G. Hutchinson, managing director of the Baird Television De- velopment Co. of London, for installa- tion of the invisible ray apparatus on one of the city’s skyscrapers. It was Capt. Hutchinson who ‘ast Wednesday night demonstrated trans- atlantic television by means of short wave radio and the Balrd televisor. | tmages of a man and woman were | transported through the ether from a London laboratory to the home of B. M. Hart, a short-wave radio operator, in Hartsdale, Westchester County vil- lage, just outside New York City. To Use Planes in Test. For the Invisible ray demonstration, Capt. Hutchinson is arranging to have atrplanes circling over the city to serve as targets for the searchlight. First an ordinary searchlight will be thrown on them, watchers on the ground. Then the invisible ray will be substi- tuted for the visible one and the planes will disappear in the darkness, although they will continue to be shown on a| screen attached to the searchlight. The pilots will be unaware that they are under observation when they are in the line of the invisible searchlight. | Baird's invisible ray works on the following principle: A screen is put in front of the ray of & YFT“III’ search- light, which filters out all light waves but the intra-red rays. These are the rays beyond the lower end of the spectrum and are invisible to the human eye but not 1o a faster “electric eye.” The filtered beam, plercing fog and clouds and everything In its path, s/ recorded In the eclectric eve of the| Baird invention and then magnified on | & screen for all to see | Invented By Balrd. ‘The invisible ray was invented by Joht.
