GUBERNATORIAL RACE SHROUDED IN DOUBT Victory of Cabinet Member Is Ex- pected to Be Pleasing to Admin- istration—Had Grundy Won, It Would Have, Been Hailed as Re- buff for Hoover Regime. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Secretary James J. Davis, far out in the lead, appears to have won handily the Republican sena- torial nomination in yesierday’s Pennsylvania primary over “Old Joe” Grundy, the sitting Senator. Associated Press returns from 6,449 districts out of a total of 8,701, give the Secretary of Labor 581,335 votes to 373,395 for Grundy and 195,164 for Francis H. Bohlen, University of Pennsylvania law professor and a wringing “wet.” With a lead of 207,960 over Senator Grundy and only 2,252 districts to be heard from it does not appear possible that Davis can be headed off. It had been predicted that Davis would run ahead of his running mate— Francis Shunk Brown, candidate for governor—in the State, but that he would run even with Mr. Brown in hls] own home city, Philadelphia, was not e Pinchot is far closer than between Davis and Grundy. tricts to be heard from, Brown's lead was only 24,337 votes over Pinchot.| Phillips, former member of the House made a stronger Bohlen in the senatorial race, and ap- parently cut into the Brown strength materially. ‘The is a prize political plum in Pennsylvania, and Senator Grundy, while he has alliance with Gov. anxious to have Pinchot defeat Brown as he was himself to defeat Davis, if not more anxious. o Hoover Has Kept Hands Off. ‘The victory of Secretary Davis, a strong supporter of President Hoover and a member of his cabinet, is ex- pected to be pleasing to the administra- tion here, although President Hoover has kept his hands entirely off the Pennsylvania situation. Had Grundy ‘won, it would have been hailed far and buff for the Hoover ad- ministration, not alone because Davis is a member of the cabinet, but also because Senator Grundy has never been an ardent supporter of Mr. Hoover, al- though he worked hard during e election campaign in 1928 to bring victory to the Republican ticket. The wet ticket in Pénnsylvania, headed by Phillips and Bohlen, made a strong showing, _though not nearly so strong as its adherents claimed for it yesterday. Phillips, when he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1926, re- ceived approximately 72,000. The re- turns so far received indicate he will receive 250,000 or more votes when all are in, or more than three times what he received four years ago. However, in that year he was opposed by Gov. Fisher, a dry, and Biddleman, the V;l’e c#u- wet. s umn 2.) (Continued on didate, and, regarded as & MACNIDER NAMED FOR CANADIAN POST Former Assistant Secretary of War Appointed to Min- istry. By the Assoclated Press. Hanford MacNider of Towa has been selected by President Hoover as Minis- ter to Canada. . His name has been submitted to the Canadian government and a favorable reply is expected shortly. MacNider is a former Assistant Secre- tary of War and a former national commander of the American Legion. His home is at Mason City. Recently MacNider and Senator Brookhart have been in opposite politi- cal camps in Iowa, although both are Republicans. A few weeks ago the Senator issued a statement here bitterly assailing the former Legion commander, who, he declared, was trying to con- trol the Iowa senatorial election. Brookhart could not be reached today when MacNider's selection for the Canadian post became known. The ap- pointment must be confirmed by the Benate. The President’s nominee is a banker, and since his retirement from the War Department has returned to ‘banking in his home State. He was a National Guard officer be- fore the World War, and served over- seas as an officer in the 2d Division. His election to national command of the American Legion took place in 1921. He wears the Distinguished Service Cross and several foreign decorations. He is 40 years old. President Coolidge appointed him As- sistant Secretary of War in 1925, and he served in that capacity until 1928. ‘Minister to Canada, m Phillips, who retired some time ago from the diplomatic corps, President Hoover was influenced by MacNider's business qualifications and by his varled experiences in public affairs. ‘The Canadian st is looked upon ‘here &s one invol e dinm tateg With 1,446 dis- | screas many commercial ing‘and, with the use of a ¥ !

By the Assoclated Press. The Graf Zeppelin passed the Canary Islands today and nosed stead- 1ly southwest in a line almost parallel with the African Coast toward the Cape Verde Islands. Her course was shaped for the Equator, with little chance, however, of attaining that goal today. Her last reported position was 500 miles northeast of the Cape Verde Is- lands, 200 miles due west of Villa Cis- neros, Africa. The British steamship Accra picked her up at 8:20 am. G. M. T.

Climatic Conditions There New Problem For Graf Zeppelin, LAS PALMAS, Canary Islands, May 21 (#).—The Graf Zeppelin, flying from Seville, Spain, to Pernambuco, Brazil, today pushed steadily across the East Atlantic toward the Equator, where the high temperatures and unusual climatic conditions are expected to subject it to one of its severest tests. There were three groups of land between it and its goal, the Cape Verde Islands, 850 miles southwest from the Canary Islands, which the Graf passed before dawn today: St. Paul Islet, a mere speck in the middle of the Atlan- tie, and Fernando do Noronha, just east of Pernambuco. Delayed already by contrary winds, it was expected that the ible might ed indefinitely. There was no debate. Seven Republicans joined the four Democrats present in defeating the bill. Three Republicans voted against Mr. Hull's motfon.

TAKING THE COUNT! | PUPILS DIFFER ON CHARGE OF SCHOOL IMMORALITY Survey Reveals Boy: s and Girls as Much at Odds Over Flaming Youth Allegation Publicists, parents and politicians who discourse and differ on immorality and drinking among high school stu- dents apparently can find no referee for their debates in the boys and girls themselves. For the youngsters are almost as much at odds over the flaming youth allegation as their clders. A survey of Washington high schools, conducted secretly under a cloak of confidence which assured the students that anything they might say would not be used against them, has pro- duced opinions as far apart as the Poles. One youngster brands the popu- lar charges against his generation as “myths,” while another, in the same school, asserts phlegmatically that “im- as Elders. moral conduct and drinking among high School pupils has been carried on for quite a time, and is very ftrue ot Washington high schools.” ‘There is a difference of opinion, too, among the principals who helped engi- neer the survey with one claiming that “drinking at fraternity and sorority dances s not general and is indulged in by relatively few of those present,” and another admitting there is “some drinking at practically all of the dances” and adding that fraternity and sorority officials had told him that they saw drinking “at every school dance they | attended.” Another principal said “it is quite obvious that ped is more or_less common.” The survey was made in response to | a_ joint request by A.

Chairman Claudius Huston of the Republican national commit- tee and Chairman John J.

Huston was dealt with in a re- port on lobbying in connection with Muscle Shoals.

Worthington was supposed to be entitled to a salary of 51{000 a year, payable monthly, but in more recent years, at least, his stipend came with no regularity, and according to such of his correspondence as came into the hands of the committee he was frequently in desperate straits financially. During the Summer of 1929 he wrote repeatedly to Huston and wired him asking for re- mittances to meet obligations upon which he was pressed for payment, in response to which Huston made remit- tances to him from time to time, having funds provided by the Union Carbide Co. to the amount of $36,100. This amount was turned over to Huston, on his solicitation, $22,000 on March 7, 1929, and $14,100 on June 26, 1929. The amount thus contributed was to be used in carrying on the work of the Tennes- see River Improvement Association and represented, as told by Huston, the sum expended by the association in assem- bling data shown thereby and in the preparation of maps in the possession of the association, supposed to be of value to the Union Carbide Co., which maps he asserted were sold to that company. ‘The contributions of the Union Car- bide Co. were made by check of its president, one Haggerson, to one Moore, 8 business associate and confidant of Huston, 'and by Moore deposited to the credit, in each instance, of an account in his name with the stock brokerage firm of Blyth & Bonner of New York | City, a trading account.
