By the Assoclated Press. 1 GENESEO, N. Y. November 18— The statement that he would use his influence “to prevent the party from committing & fatal blunder in asking for the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment,” was contained in a letter re- ceived from United States Senator Simeon D. Fess and made public yes- terday by former United States Senator James W. Wadsworth. | The letter from the chairman of the | National Republican Committee was written in response to a letter from Mr. Wadsworth, in which the former Sen- ator urged the Republican party to advocate a referendum on the prohibi- ition question. The letter follows: Sees Propaganda Aim. “My dear Mr. Wadsworth: | “I have received your letter of No- vember 12 addressed to me as chair- man of the National Republican Com- mittee. I assume that this letter is written in good faith, although it has the element of propaganda which is carried out by the fact that it was | given to the press before it was re- ceived by me, “In reply to your specific recom- mendation “that the Republican party recommend the repesl of the eighteenth amendment, I am stating to you that I shall use my influence to prevent the party from committing a fatal blunder in asking for the repeal of the eight- eenth amendment, “Yours very truly, “SIMEON D. FESS." Claims Misunderstanding. In a statement to the Associated Press Senator Wadsworth said: “The Senator seems not to under- stand the proposal contained in my letter to him. I did not urge upon him that the Republican party recommend the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment. I urged that the Republican party employ the constitutional ma- chinery which would give to the peo- ple. of the States an opportunity to vote yes or no on the question. Let the people decide.” CITIZENS PROTEST " COLORED SCHOOL Petworth Association Fights Pro-! posed Building on Basis of Popu- lation to Be Served in Area. The Petworth Citizens’ Association | registered a vigorous protest last night against the proposed erection of a col- ored elementary school at Allison street and Rock Creek Church road. Their resolution, pointing out that there are not enough colored families in the sec- tion to warrant such a school and that children will have to attend the school from far away districts, was directed to the Board of Education. The resolution was introduced by John T. Thomas. The association further resolved that it ask the Public Utilities Commission to reconsider its recerit ultimatum to taxicab owners and operators ordering installation of meters on all cabs. In a resolution, introduced by E. C. Mag- deburger, it was suggested that cabs be allowed to operate on both meter and zone basis, with meters adjusted to co- incide with zone rates Copies were sent to the Public Utilities Commission, Peoples’ Counsel and Federation of Citizens' Asseciations. Dr. George C. Havenner, executive vice chairman of the District Bicenten- nial Commission, addressed the meet- ing, outlining the celebration program. Chairmen of committees for the com- ing year were announced at the meet- Come in | ing.” They are: Celebrations, George ‘W. Potter; Taxation, Isador M. Lavine; Finance, James M.

Meanwhile, the closely contested race for the Republican speakersaip nomi- nation between Snell of New York and Tilson of Connecticut in R2publican ranks was further complicated by a pre- diction frcm Representative Hawley of Oregan, chairman of the Republican conference. He said: | “As long as Tilson wants to he will remain as leader of the party. If he| should be el-ct>d Speaker he would | leave the floor leadership vacant: if not. he will remain leader of the minority.” Tilson was elected floor leader in a cau- cus last Pebruary. Hawley's interpretation of party rules, however. brought immediate denials from friends of Snell. Garner Expects Texas Gain, Representative Bacharach of New | Jersey said that whoever wins the Re- | publican speakership nomination will | be the actual leader of his party if| the Democrats win control, regard- less of earlier party actions. | Garner predicted that his party would win the special election in the fourteenth Texas _district, although there were three Democrats and one Republican running for the seat va- cated by the death of Representative Wurzbach, ~ Republican. This vic- tory would give the Democrats an actual voting majority, bringing their | House reriesentation to 218, or one more thau half the total. | PLAYS TO BE PRESENTED Drama Unit of Women's City Club to Entertain Tomorrow.
