Gambrill, Democrat, in Fifth is the second of a series n Note—~This of articles on the political situation nearby Maryland and Virginia. BY DONALD A. CRAIG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 23.—With no very clear-cut issues between the op- posing candidates, the Republicans are making an effort this year to regain the seat in the House which was held for mény years by two members of the Mudd family of Charles County, Md., representing the fifth congressional dis- trict of this State. This is one of the two Maryland congressional districts adjacent to Washington. A canvass of the district by The Star indicates that the prospects for the re- election of Representative Stephen W. Gambrill, Democrat, of Howard County, who wrested the seat from the Mudds four years ago, are favorable, but Oliver Metzerott, Republican, of Prince George County, is admitted by both sides to have a good fighting chance. Detached observers agree that if Hoover carries Maryland by a substan- tial majority, say, something like 20,000, Metzerott probably will be carried along to victory. Gambrill has been in the House since he defeated Thomas B. R. Mudd, Re- publican leader of Charles County, in 1924, to fill a vacancy caused by tle MARYLAND G. O. P.

Gambrill is popular, and Metz- erott likewise is conceded by most per- sons to be the strongest candidate the Republicans could have put forward this year. The race, therefore, promises to be a real one up until November 6, when the ballots will be cast. The fifth congressional district is made up of the following counties: Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, St. Marys and Howard. It also includes the fourth, fifth, sixth, sev- enth, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth precincts of the eighteenth ward of Baltimore, the twenty-first, twenty-third and twenty-fourth wards and eighth, ninth, tenth, ecleventh, twelfth and thirteenth precincts of the twenty-fifth ward of Baltimore City. The total population of the district, ac- cording to the last census, in 1920, was 225,716. Representative Gambrill's home is at Laurel. Mr. Metzerott lives in the Chillum _election district of Prince Georges County, about three miles from the District of Columbia line. Both are well known all over the district and in many parts of Maryland. Both have served in the State Legislature. Some of Representative Gambrill's friends say he is the logical candidate for Governor of Maryland in 1930. Mr. Metzerott has been a member of the (Continued on Page 4, Column 2.) Hoover Expresses Astonishment. Hoover confessed to friends his astonishment at the reception given him in Gov. Smith’s home town. He had expected to be recived cordially, but the overwhelming enthusiasm of the 20,000 flag-waving New Yorkers in the historic garden last night virtually took his breath away, his_assistants declared here today. The big crowd not only gave him a rousing 10-minute personal ovation when he appeared on the platform and a 12-minute outburst of cheering when he rose to speak, but it demonstrated Joudly its approval of Hoover's severe attack on the “state socialism” poli- cies attributed to the Democratic oppo- nent. The crowd was with Hoover when he charged the Democratic opposition with trying to thrust government into busi- ness in the matter of prohibition, farm relief and water power, and it was with him when he asserted that “state so- cialism” thus involved would throttle the fundamental spirit underlying American progress, Sees Government in Business. “Because the country is faced with difficulty and doubt over certain na- tional problems,” Hoover said, “that is —prohibition, farm relief and electrical power—our opponents propose that we 2 HURLED 60 FEET BY SPEEDING AUTO Young Women, Struck by Fire Chief’s Machine, in Critical Condition.

Arrives This Morning. The Hoover special train arrived at Union Station shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Hoover remained with friends on Long Island. Hoover was among the first to arise on his train this morning and he breakfasted on his car while the train was carrying him to Washington. He went direct from the train to his headquarters on ‘Massachusetts avenue, where he planned to remain most of the day, seclude as far as possible from callers, < The immediate task before him is the preparation of another Midwestern address, to be delivered early next week en route to California to vote, and ar- yangement of an itinerary for the West- ern trip.

Most of the strategists seem to favor the Missouri metropolis.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 23.— Indiana is in the throes of an effort to shake off Republican control of the State House. In this effort many Re- publicans have joined with the Demo- crats. It is an aftermath of the in- dictment of Republican officials _and Republican leaders’ who held no State orllfloes, and-the conviction of several of them, - This contest for control of the State House overshadows in a measure the national campaign itself in Indiana.

Smith’ n_: visit to Indianapolis. . e A canvass of the situation leads to the belief that unless there is a Hoover landslide of great prv:fiemnns. Frank C. Dailey, Democrat, is likely to defeat the Eepugunm nominee for governor, Harry Leslie. In other words, the measure of Leslie’s chances of success is the meas- ure of Hoover's lead over Smith in the national election. Dailey is the “clean-up” candidate for governor. The Democratic and Re- publican supporters of Dailey dub Leslie the “cover-up” candidate. Leslie, they assert, will be only a continuation of the Gov. “Ed” Jackson regime. Jack- son was indicted for alleged conspiracy to bribe the then governor, Warren T. McCray, to name a certain man county prosecutor in 1923. Leslie has served twice as speaker of the house in the State ature. He is chlrged by his opponents with having blocked a legisla- tive investigation of charges against Gov. Jackson in 1927. Leslie, on the other hand, has made & bitter attack on Dailey, picturing him as a public utilities attorney and chnrg- ing that he is aligned with Gov. Smi “to bring Tammany control to Indiana.” At the same time he asserted that Dailey was soft pedaling his support of Gov. Smith in the present campaign so as not to align the “drys” against him. Dailey Highly Regarded. Mr. Dailey is highly regarded in In- diana. He leaped into the limelight first when he prosecuted violators of the Federal corrupt practices act in Terre Haute and secured the convic- tion_of a hundred of them. He was a Federal prosecutor of the case brought against former Senator New- berry of Michigan, charged with cor- ruption in his election to the Senate in 1918 over Henry Ford. Leslie, in his attacks on Dailey, has charged that Dailey did not go after the higher- ups in the Terre Haute corruption cases. This has been hotly resented by Dailey’s friends. One thing is notice- able in the campaign here. Leslie is seeking in every way.to tie himself into the Hoover-for-President cam- paign, and Dailey, while speaking now and then for Smith, is seeking to win the governorship without bringing upon himself the antagonism aroused in In- diana by the Smith candidacy for President. ‘There is a variety of campaign head- quarters here. The Republican State committee, headed by Eliza O, Rogers, is conducting a campaign for the elec- gniletot Hoover and the entire State cket. There is a Hoover-for-President head- quarters, headed by Oscar E. Follinger, Fort Wayne publisher, which is dis- tinct from the State headquarters, al- though Mr. Follinger is a member of the Republican State executive com- mittee.

LONDON, October 23.—Publication of the British White Paper on the Anglo- French naval agreement indicates that great Britain intends to continue cor- respondence on the matter with the two governments which rejected the pro- posal—the United States and Italy. A summary of the negotiations sent to | all countries on the League of Nations preparatory disarmament commissio by Lord Cushendun, acting foreign secretary, on October 9, states: “While the Japanese government ex- press their concurrence in the purport of these proposals (the naval compro- mise), the governments of the United States and Italy, for reasons which are clearly and cogently explained in their notes, have not seen their way to ac- cept them. These communications are receiving the attentive consideration of his majesty’s government, and a reply will be made to them in due course.” Yielded on Reserves.

The French govern- ment and the majority of the govern- ments represented on the preparatory commission had held that reserves should be excluded from limitation, while his majesty’s government, for rea- sons into which it is here unnecessary to enter, had consistently supported the opposite thesis.

In the case of a third, thzg al- lowed an apfial from a finding of the police trial board that the defendant be removed, and instead imposed a fine of $150. Poiiceman C.. A. Ezell of the third precinct had been found guilty by the trial board on a charge of being under the influence of intoxicants. Ezell was said to have been in this condition when he took a taxicab in the vicinity of the Naval Hospital to his home at 405 Mor- ton street, Lyon Village, Va., on Sep- tember 8. The complaining witness, Allen Hazel, 523 Eighteenth street, the cab driver, testified that Ezell was un- able to direct him to his home. 2 The Commissioners upheld the board’s finding of guilty, but ordered the fine of $150 imposed instead of following the board’s recommendation to remove the officer from the force. Policeman R. W. Trump, third pre- cinct, was ordered removed following his conviction by the board on a charge of failure to pay a just debt. A second charge against the officer, on which he was also found guilty, was conduct un- becoming to an officer in neglecting to keep his promise to liquidate the in- debtedness at $10 a month.

Definite action denying higher fares to the Washington street car com- panies is expected to be taken late today by the Public Utilities Commis- ston. A formal order turning down the Capital Traction Co.’s long-pending ap- plication for a 10-cent fare was being prepared today by Corporation Counsel Wwilllam W. Bride, the commission’s general counsel, for submission to the commission this afternoon, and indica- tions were that it would be passed upon immediately after adjournment of the 'gas valuation hearing at 3 o'clock. The commission, however, has not made definite arrangements for meeting, but John W. Childress, chairman, he endeavor to get his colleagues together at this hour. Court Battle May Follow. Plans for rejecting the higher fare petition were informally dgreed upon by the commission at a two-hour executive session yesterday afternoon, but formal action was postponed pending the writ- ing of the necessary official order, Bride was assigned this task because of a be- llef that the case most likely will be taken to the courts for final disposition and the commission wants to have the order in shape to withstand legal as- sault, Bride also is author of the plan which the commission is understood to be following in disposing of the case. It involves two steps. The first is to refuse a higher fare to the Washing- ton Railway & Electric Co., which did not seek it, but was made a party to the case for the sake of a uniform rate of fare. The next move is to tell the Capital Traction Co. that since John H. Hanna, its president, has publicly announced that the increase would not be acceptable unless it were applied to the competing company, it would be idle to approve the application. Despite the commission’s conclusion not to grant a fare increase, protests against a higher fare continued to be filed. Two such protests were received today by Earl V. Fisher, executive sec- retary of the commission. One came from the Columbia Typographical Union and the other from Local No. 2 of the Federation of Federal Employes. ‘Would Have Congress Act. The Typographical Union urged that the commission refer the fare increase question to Congress “for suitable in- vestigation and action,” pointing out that the expense of car fare is of vital interest to its 2,300 members and their families. The protest of the Federal Employes’ Union read: “The slender salaries of the great body of Federal employes in Washington, already depleted by exces- sive rents, are in danger of further depletion by a proposed increase in| street car fares, being the means of transportation to and from work of the vast majority of Government em- ployes,” and that “the existing car fare of 8 cents, six tickets for 40 cents, is already excessive, and represents profiteering, in that it gives more than a fair return upon money actually in- vested in the properties.” The resolution also suggested that Congress be requested to make an in- vestigation by Congress of the entire transportation problem in Washington. 5 DEAD, 2 MAY DIE IN HOTEL FLAMES : Chicago Hostelry for Men Was Firetrap, Official Says.
