A—14 FLORDANS REET SHPPER AS LEADER Palm Beach Man Named G. 0. P. Contact Man to Washington. By the Associated Press. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 28— The newly elected Florida Republican executive committee today repudiated the leadership of Glenn B. Skipper, na- tional committeeman, and sent John F. Harris, Palm Beach and New York millionaire, to Washington as its con- tact man. The action followed an ultimatum to Skipper that he offer a new resignation, addressed to the national committee, by 12:15 p.m. today, and Skipper’s em- phatic refusal to accede. William J. Howey, who took the Skipper issue into the first primary of June 3, claimed complete victory for his coalition faction, which had failed in its effort to accept Skipper's resig- nation at a meeting in Orlando in May. He said today's action marked a “new era in which we will build a two-party government in Florida.” The coalition first sought to have ac- cepted a resignation submit by Skip- per and C. C. Callaway to jwey and others at Lakeland last March. Claims Gentleman's Agreement Broken, Skipper withdrew this resignation, claiming also there had been a gentle- men’s agreement and this had been vio- lated. Notified that any resignation by Skipper must be submitted to the na- tional committee, which alone ecould act on it, the coalition changed its tactics. At a caucus here last night, coalition leaders drew up two resolutfons, one approved the Lakeland resignation and demanded & new one. The other ex- pressed non-confidence in Skipper and provided for election of a contact man in Washington to replace Skipper. Both resolutions were adopted today by viva voce vote. ‘The committee declined to accept a resolution by Skipper seeking to com- mit the body to indorsement of Her- bert Hoover for a second term. A coalition substitute resolution indorsed the administration, however. Huston Resolution Tabled. Skipper's resolution asking that the committee indorse Claudius Huston as chairman of the national committee, was tabled. A third Skipper resolution, sesking to have the committee declare the name of the party as “The Florida White Re- publican Party” and to exclude colored people from voting, also was tabled. R. C. Anderson, a ~oalition leader, of- fered a substitute calling for adoption by Republicans of the same voting rules as Democrats. This also was tabled. The meeting was marked by return to leadership in the party of George P. ‘Wentworth, who was once chairman of the commiitee during the George Bean regime. Wentworth was elected vice chairman. LONDON'S TOURNAMENT PROVES SPECTACULAR Royal Fusileers Stage Special Show Illustrating History of Regi- ment Since 1685. LONDON (N. A. N. A).—London is richer in theatrical entertainment of all sorts this Summer than it has been for many years. It includes the inter- national opera season at Covent Gar- den, two Hamlets, one Englishman (John Gielgud) and one German (Al- exander Moissi) playing in theaters al- most next door to each other; a colored “Othello” (Paul Robeson), several war plays, some comedies and revues and the world's two finest diseuses, Ruth Draper and Yvette Guilbert The most spectacular and probably the most popular entertainment of all, however, is the royal tournament which has just opened in Olympia. This splen- did show, which attains its jubilee this year, can justly be called royal, for it has always been patronized by princes. It is said that the royal box has held more leaders of nations, kings and presidents than any other royal box in the country. . The special attraction at the tourna. ment this vear is being supplied b; London’s own regiment, Fusiliers, who are giving scenes illus- trating the history of the regiment from its inception in 1685 to the present day. The tank corps, assisted by artil- lery, engineers and infantrymen, in a thrilling episode defend the passage of a river in the face of the enemy, and other attractions include a military ride, mediaeval jousting in armor, gym- nastic and fencing displays and a rope- climbing exhibition supplied by the royal navy.

C, June 28.—As a Midsummer sun beats unmercifully down on South Carolina and its numer- ous small cities and towns, a group of some 30 candidates for State and na- tional offices is making its quadrennial| tour of the State, seeking to show the| voters why this one or that should be elected to represent his State in some position. Bright and early every Monday morn- ing they leave their homes and gather at some county seat to speak for hours before voters who have been apprised | beforehand that there will be a “speak- ing” in town that day. In order that all may have a chance to speak before the heat causes the as-| sembled populace to dwindle, two par- tles are making the rounds. Those| seeking election to the National Cofi- gress have one itinerary, and those running for State offices take another route. This little band of men—for no wom- en are seeking election—started their trek during the middle of June and will | continue until the latter part of August. | speaking one day in every one of the 46 county seats of the State. A week of rest will be taken dufln& the middle of {July, and then there will be no let-up until two days before the polls are opened. This novel way of getting the issues before the people had its beginning | during the time when Ben Tilman, who practically controlled South Carolina politics and was a flery character dur- ing his lifetime, was governor, way back in 1890.

Wade Hampton and his famous Red Shirts put the Democrats back on top a white primary law was passed. At the same time it was decided to have each candidate for State or national office, whether op- | posed or unopposed, speak in ever: county seat once during the campaign. The “speakings” began in 1892 and have been carried on ever since. At first office holders were elected for twc | years, and the tours had to be made biennially. Recently, however, the terms were changed to four. Senator “Coley” Blease, as he is known from one end of the State to the other, has been devoting most of his time to defending his record in the Senate. He has taken little time to at- tack those opposing him. Leon W. Harris, Anderson district solicitor, has been generating the heat | in his group, making pointed remarks | about Blease and what he has or has| not done. James F. Byrnes, long a Representa- tive of South Carolina in the lower house at Washington, and who was de- feated by Blease when he ran five years ago, is devoting his addresses to na- tional economic issues. In the group seeking election to State office, South Carolina’s $65,000,000 bond issue has been attacked and de- fended freely. Ashton H. Williams of Florence, a | former State Senator, has added zest tc the State office group in his race for governor by advocating light wines and beer. The other seven candidates for this position have limited themselves tc the bond issue, tax problems and other State issues.

Market Loser Uses Water Pitcher on Alleged Swindler Chases Out of Town Man He Says Caused Loss of $17,000. By the Associated Press, LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 28.—Andrew John Gaillombardo, 51, of Dayton, Ohio, chased a man out of town with | & water pitcher here today and then told police he had been swindled out of his life’s savings of $17,000 by be- lieving a story that the man knew how to “beat” the stock market. The chase led down the fire esca) of the Henry Clay Hotel, along an alley and through a jewelry store. Police came rushing up, believing the store had been robbed. The man who Gail- lombardo sald gave the name of Robert T. Reed, escaped in an automobile with two accomplices. Galllombardo said the man tele- phoned him from a Dayton Hotel re- cently and offered $14,000 for a lot. ‘They came to Louisville for Reed to raise the money. Reed found another man’s pocketbook with $80 in it. The other man out of gratitude told them about a scheme to beat the stock mar- ket. Taillombardo said he believed them when they would return and show how small investments bee: doubled, s0 he let them have $17,000. In a row when it was lost he got after Reed with the water pitcher.
