P. and the Democratic parties both qeclare for resubmission of the eighteenth amendment. Mrs. Pinchot Defeated. Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife of | the Governor, has gone down to defeat in the struggle for the Republican nomination for the House in the fif- teenth Pennsylvania congressional dis- trict, completing the Pinchot route. if that present returns are correct. Mrs. Pinchot sought the seat now held by Representative Louis T. McFadden, who early last Winter made & sensa tional attack in the House on Presi- dent Hoover, declaring that he had “sold out” the United States to Ger- many. McFadden, his friends said today, regarded his victory yesterday as & “vindication.” Neither Mrs. Pinchot nor McFadden, however, have been friendly to the Hoover adminis- tration. Smith’s victory in Massachusetts had been discounted as a blow to Roose- vek. Nevertheless, the emphatic man- ner in which he administered defeat to the New York Governor in that State was' admitted even by Roosevelt lead- ers here today. One of them, while declaring that the check to the Roose- velt candidacy was not serious, said that it might “slow up” the Roosevelt nd wagon temporarily. The Roose. velt forces had hoped to get 8 or 10 of the Massachusetts delegates. Roosevelt Claims. In Pennsylvania the Roosevelt lead- ers are claiming 58 or 80 of the 76 delegates, with the returns still coming in. Roosevelt is running ahead in the presidential preferential primary vote, and if he comes first in this preference vote, he will have strengthened himself materially, both with the State delega- tion and outside of the State. Smith in 1928 polled upwards of a million votes in Pennsylvania and more than 276,000 of these votes were cast for Smith in Philadelphia. Although the State was carried by President Hoover with & lead of almost a million votes, among the Democrats Pennsylvania has been regarded as a strong Smith State. His defeat there by Roosevelt yesterday, 1f the final returns show him defeated, will be a big feather in the Roosevelt cap. In Pennsylvania Smith had sup- porting him the Democratic State chairman, John R. Collins, and the Democratic_ national committeeman, Sedgwick Kistler, and many other members of the Democratic State or- ganization. Philadelphia for Smith. Philadelphia, a Smith stronghold, gave the former New York Governor a lead of 9,000 over Roosevelt. The total vote from the city, as reported by the Associated Press, was 18,738 for Smith and 9,715 for Roosevelt. The returns from 3,361 precincts in the presidential preferential primary, out of a total of 8,181, gave Roosevelt 51,375 to 48,661 for Smith. The size of the vote in the Democratic primary is nothing to boast about from a Demo- cratic standpoint. With the returns from Philadelphia complete and Roosevelt in the lead his supporters feel confident that total count for the State will show him well ahead of Smith for the preference vote. | In the race for Republican senatorial | nominaticn the returns from 4,712 pre- | cincts, more than half of the total, gave Davis 588,600 to 300,250 for Butler, or a lead for Davis of nearly 300,000 votes. While this may be cut down as returns come in from outlying counties, Davis | is regarded as “in.” Mrs. Pinchot conceded her defeat by Representative McFadden in the fif-| teenth district. She lost to McFadden | in a previous campaign by 2,000 votes. | McFadden is claiming victory by 6,000 | votes yesterday. Gov. Pinchot at- | tributed the defeat of his candidates, | including Gen. Butler, to an “unex- plainable eddy in popular opinion,” ac- cording to dispatches.

Massa- | chusetts Democrats are wondering what will be the result of the factional strife | on the election next Novemu:r, par-| ticularly if Smith is not the party| nominee and Roosevelt should win that honor. Some of them are consoling them- selves with the suggestion that the fight was not so much against Roose- velt as it was against Mayor Curley. During the primary campaign the fight Walsh Expresses View. | Senator David 1. Walsh, who led in the vote for Smith delegates at large in Massachusetts, expressed the view today that Smith's Massachusetts vic- tory put him strongly in the running for “The result of the Democratic pri- mary in Masachusetts is not a sur- prise. It has been apparent from the outset that Masachusetts was a strong | Smith State. The must ardent sup- porters of former Gov. Smith, however, did not expect such an emphatic in- dorsement. “The result in Massachusetts will give impetus to the Smith candidacy and porters throughout the country who be- lieve in his leadership.” | John F. Costello, Democratic national { committee man for the District of Co- lumbia and a Roosevelt supporter. took a very different view of the Massachu- setts result. He said | “Smith has shot his bolt in Massa- | chusetts. The vote there will strength- " | en Roosevelt in the rest of the country. He can't be stopped.” Smith Chances Held Slim. Notwithstanding his sweeping victory in Massachusetts, Smith did not ap- pear to many Democratic leaders here today to have any real chance at all for the presidential nomination. They pointed out that a majority of the con- vention delegates would in all proba- Lility ‘be strongly opposed to Smith, and added that it takes only one vote in excess of one-third of the total con- vention vote to “stop” a candidate. President Hoover did not enter the presidential preferential primary in Pennsylvania. Former Senator Joseph 1. Prance of Maryland was the sole en- trant. His victory means nothing, how- ever, for Mr. Hoover will have the dele- gates, as the result of the preference primary is not binding, at law, on the delegates. In Massachusetts, too, Presi- dent Hoover has the support of the delegates elected yesterday to the na- tional convention, except perhaps in one case. William P. Whiting, who was appointed Secretary of Commerce by former President Coolidge during the Summer of 1928, after Mr. Hoover became the presidential nominee of the Republicans, declined to say that he would be pledged to vote for Mr. Hoo- ver. He was opposed by supporters of the President for election yesterday as delegate to the national convention. Mr. Whiting won.

RODSEVELT LEADS N PENNSYLVANI |Davis Defeating Butler—Mc- Fadden Ahead of Mrs. Pinchot. | By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, April 27-—With more than one-third of the count com- pleted, Gov. Pranklin D. Roosevelt to- day led former Gov. Alfred E. Smith by only a little more than 2,000 votes in Pennsylvania’s presidential preference primary. ‘The vote from 3,361 of the State’s 8,181 precincts gave Roosevelt 51,375 and Smith 48,661. The preferential expression is not | binding on the delegates who will cast | Pennsylvania’s 76 votes at the Demo- | cratic National Convention. The Roose- velt forces have claimed 66 votes. Davis Has Big Lead. In the Republican senatorial race Senator James J. Davis. up for renom- ination, held a lead of 288.350 votes over Maj Gen. Smedley D. Butler, but Butler refused to concede defeat, “I shall make no statement,” the for- mer Marine declared, “until I know just how the people voted all over the State.” Senator Davis, however, took the re- sults, so far, as conclusive and thanked his supporters for “the fine vote. Results from 4.435 of the State's 8,181 precincts showed: Davis, 588,600; But- ler, 300,250. McFadden Ahead. In the race for Republican nomina- don for Congress in the far-flung “horseshoe district,” which covers eight in Northern Pennsylvania, nearly 4000 votes ahead of Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife of Penn- sylvania’s Governor. The vote, in 213 districts out of 312, was: McFadden, 17,418; Mrs. Pinchot, 13.542 Robert K. Cassatt, chairman of the State Association Against the Prohibi- tion Amendment, described the apparent victory of Senator Davis over Gen. Butler, a prohibition candidate, as “‘absolutely undeniable evidence that the | people of Pennsylvania demand repeal of the eighteenth amendment.” | The lead of Senator Davis over the | retired major general of the “Devil Dogs” was of such proportion that he seemed certain to be the man who will fight it out with the Democrats in No- vember. Large Majority in Philadelphia. Philadelphia gave him & 4-to-1 mar- gin and Allegheny County, of which Pittsburgh is the seat, voted for him by more than 2 to 1. Butler's strength in the rural districts seemed insufficient to overcome the margin. Gen. Edward Martin, chairman of the Republican State Committee, predicted 8 400.000 plurality for Davis, and suc- cess for the rest of the organization ticket. The closeness of the race in the Roosevelt-Smith contest led observers to puzzle over how the 76 votes would be divided, but no definite answer was | possible. Under State law, no exact figures in terms of delegates are avail- able until the pre-convention caucus of the delegation, Promises Not Binding. dates are all on record as they are willing to support the popular choice, but such promises are not binding.

By the Assoclated Pre BOSTON, April 27.—Massachusetts 36 votes in the 1932 Democratic conven- tion today were pledged to Alfred E. Smith. Repeating his success of 1928, when as the Democratic standard bearer he carried Massachusetts, Smith swept through 1n yesterday's presidential primary to a decisive victory over Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. A Smith-pledged slate of delegates at | large, headed by a trio consisting of | Gov. Joseph B. Ely, and United States Senators David I Walsh and Marcus A. Coolidge, defeated the Roosevelt slate led by Mayor James M. Curley by a vote of nearly three to one. The average vote polled by the Smith delegates at'large was 141,086 and the average for the Roosevelt at large dele- gates, 48,345. Hoover Gets 33 Votes. President Hoover received 33 of the 34 votes which Massachusetts will have in the Republican convention. He was assured of 31, through lack of opposi- tion, before the primary. The one Re- publican not pledged to Hoover is Wil- liam F. Whiting of Holyoke, intimate friend of Calvin Coolidge and successor to Hoover as Secretary of Commerce in the Coolidge cabinet. He refused to be 1 3 > The only contest in which prohibition was involved was won by a pair of anti- prohibitionist Republican candidates pledged to President Hoover in the ninth district over two prohibition can- didates also pledged to the President. The winners were Mayor Sinclair Weeks of Newton, son of the late Secretary of ‘War John W. Weeks, and State Repre- rsentative Albert F. Bigelow, ‘The total vote cast in the primary ran more than 200,000, four times as large as that cast four years ago, but less than political leaders had anticipated. Inclement weather and ¢ unforeseen apathy in many of the districts outside of Greater Boston appeared to have contributed to the lightness of the vote. Bitter Campalgn. Smith's victory came after one of the most bitterly fought campaigns in the history of Massachusetts. A feud of several years' standing between Mayor Curley and the regular Democratic State organization, s personified by Gov. Ely and Frank J. Donahue, State chalr- man, who named the Smith slate, cast a shadow over the campalgn that at times almost hid the real issue—Smith or Roosevelt. The defeat came as a severe blow to the Roasevelt adherents. Mayor Curley and James Roosevelt, son of Gov. Roose- velt and also a candidate for delegate at large, had hoped to get at least & few places on the at-large ticket and several district delegates. Althcugh a newcomer to Massachusetts politics, James Roosevelt ran neck and neck wif Mayor Curley at the head of the Roose- velt slate. Walsh Heads Veting. Benator Walsh received the highest total vote on the Smith slate with 152,309, when 1676 out of 1,685 pre- cincts, 'including the City of Boston, had reported. Gov.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, April 27.—The name of Mayor James J. Walker was forcibly brought before the Hofstadter Investi- gating Committee yesterday with the revelation that an Ohio corporation contributed to his first campaign fund In 1925 in order to be placed in “a favorable light.” Testimony was adduced and evidence was introduced to show that the Fageol Motors Co. of Kent, Ohio, sent an un=- stated sum to a “society calied Tam- many” in furtherance of a_desire to sell busses to the Equitable Coach Co., then angling for a tri-borough fran- chise, Senator’s Salary Bared. Regarded by the committee as equal- ly significant in its quest for traces of graft and corruption in the municipal government was the discovery that State Senator John A. Hastings received a salary of $1,000 a month from the bus concern for his services as contact man with the Ohio interests. Charles B. Rose, former vice presi- dent and general manager of Fageol, without signing a waiver of immunity, told Counsel Sumuel Seabury under ex- amination that his firm made the ca: paign contribution because they believed it was “policy to do so” in view of the pending application of Equitable for cperating rights in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. The witness further testified he understood the contribution was only a small amount and that it was not made by or through him. Pressed for the source, he admitted that while he had no direct knowledge he believed the donor was Frank R. Fageol, presi- dent of the firm, or J. Allan Smith, New York representative. Objects to Immunity. Four telegrams that passed between Fageol's secretary and Rose were spread on_the record. Senator John J. McNaboe, Demo- cratic minority member of the com- mittee, interrupted heatedly at one point to object because the witness had not signed a waiver of immunity. “This committee has given this wit- ness immunity from the commission of & crime” he shouted. “An Ohio cor- poration contributing campaign funds commits a crime according to the laws of New York State.” o CAR LCADINGS INCREASE 21,923 DURING WEEK Figure Still 192,765 Below That of Corresponding Period in 1931.
