While he was an important cog in the Hoover presidential election drive, he has since broken with the President on two of the major issues of his administration—farm relief and tariff revision. Several members of the Republican independent group led by Senator Borah in the opposition to these Hoover poli- cies are up for re-election this year, and Borah has always indicated a will- ingness to carry these issues to the peo- ple in the Northwest. Senators Mc- Master, South Dakota; Schall, Minne- sota; Norris, Nebraska, and Pine, Ok- lahoma, who participated in the Senate Republican revolt, are among those up for_re-election. With Col. Horace Mann organizing an independent Republican organization in the Southern States, speculation here also looked ahead to the possible effects of an anti-administration campaign in the Northwest by Borah on the presi- dential situation two years hence.

INVE WILL KEEP UP ELECTIONS PROBE Declares Continued Inquiry Is .| Answer to Mrs. McCormick’s Use of Detectives. R By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 4.—Senator Gerald P. Nye's answer to the chal- lenge of Representative Ruth -Hamna McCormick, “What are going to do’ about mwy employment of detectives to investigate you and the United States Senate Investigating Committee?” is that he is going to keep right on in- vestigating. “The committee,” said the North Dakota Senator in a statement last night, “will not be diverted from its clearly defined duty. by any smoke screen laid down through a will to threaten, intimidate and influence.” Amazed at Admission. ‘The Senator said he “amazed to read the statement of this candidate in which .guilt of such em- ployment (of detectives) was admitted.” Senators Nye and Porter H. Dale of { Vermont, the two committee members who have been hearing witnesses here the past two days, adjourned sessions late yesterday until September 15, at which time the other committee mem- bers are expected to be here. At that time the committee expects to pursue its inquiry into Mrs. McCormick’s use of detectives to investigate the com- mittee members and committee em- ployes. 2 The methods employed by the Mc- Cormick detectives were scored as “shoddy. scabby, unprincipled, uncon- scionable and contemptible” in the North Dakota Senator’s statement. Answers Mrs. McCormick. Senator Nye takes notice of Mrs. McCormick's challenge, “What is Sen- ator Nye going to do about it?” stating: “My answer to the question is only this: No matter how unpleasant and distasteful is the responsibility in Illi- nois, I shall, as far as I am able to do so, continue to guide the investigation in Illinois alorg those same lines thus far followed by the committee; lines which can be accepted as a credit to the legislative body which we serve, and such manner as will be ultimately approved by the most severe critics of the Senate; and to follow this course with continuing instruction to our very small staff to use none but clean and honorable methods in ascertaining facts which have relation to the conduct and expenditures of any campaign for the United States Senate.” THREE SISTERS DROWN WEISSPORT, Pa., September 4 ().—' Three sisters drowned here yesterday while returning home from Danville, where they attended the funeral of a brother Tuesday.

HOARDED SILVER COINS BACK IN CIRCULATION Low Prices Bring Return From Coolies on Rubber Estates of Malaya. Low prices and the. large influx of eurrency are ca silver coins, with- drawn and hoarded by the Chinese and Indian coolies on the rubber estates of Malaya when the price of silver was high, to return into circulation in ever- increasing numbers, according to a re- port received by the Department of Commerce from the assistant - trade commissioner at Singapore. The report follows: . The supply of silver currency in Brit- ish Malaya has shown an abnormal in- crease since‘the end of 1929 and is said to be causing some concern to Malayin bankers and currency commissioners, who ascribe the situation to the slump in rubber and tin. “It is a reflection of bad times and people are going to the stocking,” states the Singapore Press in a recent issue. In addition to the plantation coolies, shopkeepers and other Malayan small bolders are now paying off their debts in silver taken from their hoards, while the chetties (money lenders) are being paid in small silver when collecting debts due them. As a consequence, there has been a further addition to the nufply of silver coins in circulation. t is understood that the currency commissioners are removing large quan- tities of silver coinage from circulation, the report states. This has revealed an- other complication, namely, that quan- tities of some coins, especially 10-cent pleces, are found to be counterfeit. Ten~ cent coins of 1918, 1919 and 1920, par- ticularly, are under suspicion. 830 13th St. N.W. « "A-3 HULL IS CONFIDENT: OF . 0. P.
