G. 0. P. IS ALARMED BY HART'S VICTORY Michigan Republican Leaders Prepare for Bitter Fight in Eighth District. By the Assoclated Press. LANSING, Mich,, November 13.—For the first time In years Michigan Repub- lican leaders concede the Democrats a chance next year in this stronghold of Trepublicanism. H ankly alarmed over the victory of | Michael J. Hart, Democratic foe of ' ro- hibition and the Farm Board in the drv and preponderantly agricultural eighth congressional district, the party’s chief- tains are preparing for the bitterest ht in years. Hart is the first Demo- tic Representative elected in the eighth district since 1896. Blames Depression, The situation, as party leaders see it. is entirely different from that which confronted them when the late Wood- bridge N. Ferris was being elected Gov ernor in 1912 and 1914 and United States Senator in 1922. On those occa- sions. it was conceded that Ferris’ cuc- cess was in spite of. rather than he- cause of, his Democratic affiliations | and no other offices were seriously threatened. Howard C. Lawrence, chairman of the State Republican Central Committee, attributes the eighth district defeat to dissatisfaction with economic condi- tions. He has warned organization members that the Democrats consti- tute a threat next year, with a Gov- ernor, Representatives in Congress and other officers to be elected coincident with a presidential campaign. Appeals for Harmony. Gov. Wilber M. Brucker, serving his | first term and expected to seek re-elec- tion, also blamed general conditions | and has appealed for harmony within | the party ranks as a possible alternative | to defeat. ' ‘The Democratic State organization, | more optimistic than in a decade or more, is preparing to consolidate its advance into the Republican strong- hold. Some party leaders have sug- | gested Mayor Frank Murphy of Detroit, | re-elected this month by one of mel | greatest majorities Detroit voters ever gave a mayoralty candidate, as the gu- bernatorial standard - bearer. Mayor | Murphy has taken no public notice of | the suggestion. | MRS. BELMONT CANCELS | Air, but Denies Illness.
