GOULD LINCOLN. CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, Ill, June 14—With the eyes of | the Natlon upon it, the twentieth | Republican National” Convention met today to renominate Presi- dent Hoover; to determine what course it shall pursue with regard to national prohibition, and to lay the groundwork for the party’s national campaign against the Democratic enemy next Fall. Notwithstanding the fact that| the decision regarding the presi- dential candidate had long since been made, there was tenseness in the air as the delegates slowly gathered in the great stadium. The party was face to face with a momentous liquor question—a question which has aroused the interest of more people than any other since the | Republican National party dealt with slavery in 1860. Furthermore, the background—the economic issue, the need for continuing effort to relieve distress and banish the unemployment which has laid its blighting fingers on the life of the whole people. Texans Backing Dawes. A threat to unhorse Vice President Curtis end to supplant him with Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Vice President in the Coolidge administration, when it comes to nominating a vice presidential candidate loomed today. The Texas delegation, under the leadership of R. 3. Creager, national committeeman, was leaamp . Iowa's delegation and delegates from Colorado were re- ported ready to fall in line. ‘They were Jooking to Illinois, however, to raise the Dawes standard. ’ Some of the Republican leaders op- posed to the nomination of the veteran Vice President—both because of his age and his dry stand in the past—remained unconvinced that Gen. Dawes would not take the nomination if it were offered him. Furthermore, if the convention should nominate Dawes and he should turn it down, the Curtis opponents would still have eliminated Curtis. In some quar- ters the charge was made that Dawes was being used to “stop Curtis.” Administration leaders continued, however, to insist that they were sup- porting the Vice President. Up to Gen. Dawes. It is up to Gen. Dawes himself, whether there is to be a real fight to substitute him for Curtis opinion expressed by close friends of Curtis and Dawes bcth, as the conven- tion got under way today. Unless Dawes makes it clear to the delegates he will not accept a nomina- tion for Vice President, his name will g0 to the convention. If his name is presented, Curtis supporters realize tne Vice President might be defeated for renomination. Dawes is popular Wit the delegates.

Boyle, 37, prominent attorney, was ordered arrested for questioning to- day regarding the death of his 66-year- old mother, Mrs. Jesse A. Boyle, who he says was stabbed by a bandit on Shades Mountain yesterday. He told police he and his mother were attacked by a white man as they picked flowers on the mountain. He is in a hospital here with half a dozen knife wounds, but his condition is not serious. Police went to the mountain and found Mrs. Boyle's body in a thicket about 50 feet down the mountainside from the automobile. A pool of blood atop & cliff about 15 feet from the road indicated the body had been dragged to the hiding place | below. Mrs. Boyle's neck had been slashed twice and the jugular vein severed. County Investigator G. M. Evans said there was no indication of robbery. Mrs. Boyle's purse containing $2 and some small change, was found in her son’s automobile. Two large diamond rings and a diamond breasipin were undisturbed. Evans said a towel was wrapped about Mrs. Boyle’s face, which Boyle said he had placed there after regaining consciousness. A small bottle of chloro- form found in the car was said by Boyle to have been used by him in treating an ailment. Two Liners Collide. HAMBURG.

CHICAGO, June 14—A portion of the text of Senator L. J. Dickinson's keynote speech before the Republican National Convention follows: Perhaps it was with priphetic vision that the American people elected Her- bert Hoover four years ago with the greatest popular and electoral college vote any President ever received. At any rate, he had scarcely taken the oath of his office befores economic storm cloucs had begun to cast their sinister shadow over the nations of the world. His first act prevented & financial panic. Invoking the powers of the Fed- eral Reserve Board, he prevented this catastrophe. Thus he cushioned the effects of the debacle in Wall street which followed the greatest period of stock speculation the world had ever known. With the knowledge that every major economic convulsion in the past had been attended by strikes, riots, blood- shed and death, President Hoover’s next concern was to maintain social order. To this end he summoned to the White House industrial leaders of the Nation and obtained from them a promise to maintain existing wage scales as long as it was possible to do so.

'CABINET MEN ATTEND PARLEY | Amendment Would Let States Decide on Liquor. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CHICAGO, June 14—The proh!- bition plank, agreed to by admin- istration leaders in conference with James R. Garfleld, slated to head the Platform Committee of the Republican Convention, which will go to the Platform Committee this afternoon, starts with a dec- laration against the repeal of the | eighteenth amendment. 1t declares, however, for the sub- mission by Congress to State con- stitutional conventions or State Lgislatures of an amendment to | the eighteenth amendment which would permit those States which so vote to get out from under the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, but with a provision against the establishment again of the saloon. The Congress, under the pro- posed new amendment, “wet,” and the Congress would be empowered by law to see that there was no return of the saloon. Similar to Wickersham Plan. In effect. the plank which is now re- garded as the effort of the “best minds,” is similar to a recommendation of the | Wickersham Commission, which de- clared against the repeal of the eigh- teenth amendment, but said that if there was to be a change, the Congress | should keep its hand on the situation |in the States which returned to the sale and manufs ‘Whether this plank will “be- | by the resolutions remains to be seen. | There will be a serious sight against it |in the committee itself. and on the floor of the convention if the committee reports it out.

These two cabinet officers were the only ones in the President’s official family who did not leave Washington to participate in the national conven- tion in Chicago. The session was a brief one. The President continued to keep in close touch with developments in the con- vention city and during the forenoon received a number of telephone reports from administration leaders in Chicago. ‘The President did not listen in on the radio during today's opening cere- monies, but indicated he will tune in when the convention gets down to the point of the actual nomination.
