Signs Point to Anticipation of Huston Resignation as i G. 0. P. Chieftain. FESS HELD PREFERRED BY HOOVER FOR 0B Chief Executive Confers With Sen- ator Steiwer, Generalissimo of Western Campaigns. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. With the naval treaty safely out of the way and a special session of the Senate off his hands, President Hoover is now turning his attention more di- Tectly to matters affecting ‘the welfare of his party. ‘With the Fall election rapidly ap- proaching, President Hoover is known to be extremely anxious to see the Na- tional Committee and the Senate and House Campaign Committees function- ing smoothly and effectively and is hoping some existing differences regard- ing organization will be quickly ironed out. Although it was inferred at the White House today that the President has re- ceived nothing definite regarding the contemplated resignation of Claudius H. Huston, chairman of the Republican National Committee, there were indi- cations about the White House that gave rise to the belief that he is antici- pating developments along this line very shortly. Confers With Leaders. Mr. Hoover was in conference today with James R. Nutt, treasurer of the National Committee, and James Francis Burke, the committee’s counsel, who sat in at the meeting of committee officers and Senate and House campaign chair- men, held recently by Mr. Huston. ‘Walter Hope, Assistant Secretary of the ‘Treasury, also was present during this ‘White House conference today. Noth- ing was learned later regarding the na- ture of this conference inasmuch as the participants, with the exception of the President, made their exit from the executive office through a rear entrance, Lh::zby avolding newspaper correspond- ents. Senator Allen of Kansas, one of the President’s senatorial intimates and political advisors, called later, but said afterward that his talk with the Presi- dent had nothing to do with the af- fairs of the National Committee. The President also conferred durin the morning with Senator Steiwer of vice an of the Senate bolster up the cam of Judge Galen t Senator Walsh. Huston Out of City. It is understood that President Hoo- ver late yesterday commissioned former Senator Goodrich of Indiana, who has been one of his advisors' regarding the affairs of the National Committee, to see Chairman Huston, but Mr. Huston is away. Mr. Huston, who promised to make a statement regarding his much discussed, possible resignation, after the adjourn- ment of the Senate, is expected here to- Bumk w, according to Mr. Nutt and Mr. rke. At Mr. Huston's office, however, it was explained that while Mr. Huston might be here tomorrow, there was no definite assurance yet of his arrival. Nor was it disclosed where Mr. Huston is today, except that he is out of the city. May Call Committee. While Mr. Huston is generally ex- pected to hand in his resignation as chairman of the Republican National Committee, because of the strife in the party over his retention of that office, it is still a mystery as to just when and as to how he will make the announcement. A stion has been made that he might issue a call for the executive committee or for the Na- tional Committee itself, so that action could be taken promptly on his resigna- tion and his place filled. Mr. Huston l'fl: has friends who urge him not to quit. PFriends of the President expressed the opinion at the White House today that Mr. Huston's resignation would be forthcoming soon. They thought that now that the Senate had adjourned and that the great clamor for Mr. Huston's ousting had subsided some- what that the latter would find it con- venient to step down and turn the reins of management over to some one more satisfactory to the President and the party leaders. Fess Held Preferred. Reports that Senator David Baird, jr., of New Jersey was being considered for an of the National Committee glven no support at the White House today. The understanding is that Mr. Hoover wants Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohlo to take over the man- agement of the committee and for the present is not interested in any one else.

Cur- tiss, widely known aviation pioneer, died this morning in the General Hospital here. Mr. Curtiss was brought to the hos- pital several days ago from his home at Hammondsport, N. Y., to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The oper- ation wis sald to have been successful and he was reported recovering rapidly.

Despite the drop of 26 degrees in & few hours following yesterday's rains, one death and four cases of heat pros- tration were reported during the after- noon. With the mercury as low as 72 degrees last night and no higher than 82 degrees around 10 o'clock this morn- ing, it was doubtful if any further dis- comfort would be experienced. ‘The Weather Bureau said the intense heat wave, now definitely a thing of the past, would not return again this month, at any rate.

Bog- danov, president of the Amtorg Trading Corporation, said in a statement today that Russian-American trade, amount- ing to more than $100,000,000 a year, would be seriously menaced unless ac- cusations against the company were proved groundless. Representative Hamilton Fish, jr., chairman of the congressional commit- tee investigating Communist activity in the United States, before which the statement was read, promised that all charges against Amtorg would be delved into with thoroughness. Bogdanov sald certain American firms already had declined to_finance purchases because of thesé rumors. He len, when he was police commis- sioner of New York, and Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federa- tion of Labor, who testified before the committee. In all of the statements referred to charges were made that Amtorg was not solely a trade organization, but also served as a focal point in this country for Communistic activities which had their uwmuon in Moscow. v asserted these statements were ab- solutely without any basis in fact. Would Expel Officials. Representative Pish would invoke the Federal tion laws to expel from the country Russian officials of the Amtorg Co. ‘The chairman of the Congressional Committee investigating Communist ac- tivities questioned the right of the Rus- sian directors of the company, Soviet commercial cy in the United States, to reside in ti country in the face of the immigration law, which, he said, forbids citizens of foreign nations like Soviet Russia, having no ¢ ommercial treaties with this country, to reside here for trade purposes.
