LIGHT VOTE MARKS MICHIGAN PRIMARY Hoover and Smith Indorsed as Nominees in Prefer- ential Balloting. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, April 3.—Herbert Hoover, Republican, and Gov. Smith of New York, Democrat, were given indorsement as presidential nominees by Michigan voters in a preferential primary yes- terday. UnUofficial reports indicated that the total vote for presidential preference was one of the lightest in the history of the State. Neither can- didat opposed on his parly ticket It was estimated that fewer than one enth of Detroit's 463915 registered voters went to the polls. While only the names of Smith and Hoover appeared on the ballots, voters took advantage of their privilege to scratch these entries and substitute names of other preferred candidates.

Br the Associated Press WATERVILLE, Me., April 3.—A pos- sible rift in the unanimity of the State delegation to the national convention which had hitherto been regarded as solidly for Gov. Smith of New York overshadowed other considerations as Maine Democrats gathered here today for their biennial convention. There were two known opponents of a 100 per cent Smith delegation. One, Roy L. Fernald of Winterport, while not opposed to the New York Governor, de- sires to cast at least a complimentary vote for Justice Willlam R. Pattangall of Augusta, an associate justice of the State Supreme Court, hut until his ele- vation to the bench a strong Demo- cratic leader. The second is Mrs. Pattangall, wife of the justice, who wants to be the dele- gate at large from the third district. | She is an ardent prohibitionist, is op- posed to the nomination of Gov. Smith and favors the candidacy of Senator Walsh of Montana. Mrs. Pattangall is retiring this yvear after nine years of service as Maine’s woman member of the national committee. The number of delegates at large to be chosen was uncertain. Four may be elected or, to tnable a larger repre- sentation this number may be increased to eight, allowing each delegate, in the latter case, a half a vote. Eight dis- trict delegates will be named. FESS AND MOSES LEAD KEYNOTERS Administration Backers Have NING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY. APRIL 3. Davison Displays Sunburn Acquired On Panama Flight F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Sec- retary of War for aviation, who landed here late yesterday from his aerial inspection flight to Panama, sported a prominent case of sun burn and wind burn, which created no end of comment among those who welcomed him home. One friend looked at Maj. Gen. James E. Fechet, chief of the Army Air Corps, who accompanied the air Secretary on the trip and then at Mr, Davison, at the same time re- marking: “How 18 it that you got a better coat of tan than Gen. Fechet?" The general interrupted: “I got mine on the Mexican border before Mr. Davison was born.” PRESIDENT SCORES JINESFLOODB. Feels Measure Does Not Specifically Set Forth Expenditures. By the Associated Press. President Coolidge feels that the Jones flood control bill, approved by the Senate and now before the House, is open to criticism because the ex- tecting the Mississippi River from fur- ther disastérs are not specifically set | forth. The bill makes it impossible, in the | President's judgment. to say how much flodd control will cost. | Senator Jones himself, Mr. Coolidge remembers, in reporting his bill to the | Senate. admitted that the final ex- pense in completing the flood control work would be far above $700,000.000. | This shows a great discrepancy with the $325,000,000 estimate which Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin thought adequate penditures it would authorize for pro- | 1928. CUNS APPROPRIATION R CORN BORER WORK NEW YORK NAMES 1°*%%s o treR o to $7,000,000. By the Associated Press | Disregarding a previous tentative | agreement, the House agriculture com- mittee decided yesterday afternoon to reduce from $10,000,000 to $7.000.000 the appropriation proposed in the Pur- nell resolution to combat the corn borer | in_the Midwest lake area. | _ Representative Purnell, Republican, Indiana, author of the resolution, said that the change met with his approval | and had been decided upon after the | committee had been advised that ap- | proximately $1,000,000 of the first year's | appropriation for this work had not been spent. He also said it would not be necessary this year to spend $2.- 000,000 for machinery and other equip- ment with which to combat the pest. )Pt | Two Parties List Five Dis- trict Contests—Dr. Butler Involved in One. | By the Associated Press ALBANY, N.
