Dewey Wins 24 Voles; Five States Hold Primaries Today Roosevelt and Garner Slates Clash in California Yoting By the Associated Press. ‘Twenty-four Republican conven- tion delegates from Maryland and Idaho were enrolled under Thomas E. Dewey’s banner today, while California Democrats were register- ing their third-term views in & com- plicated primary election. Dewey delegates led an unin- structed slate. by more than seven to one in Maryland’s Republican pri- mary yesterday. At the same time the Idaho Republican Convention broke tradition and voted 133 to 68 to instruct its eight delegates to support the New York district at- torney. Maryland Democrats, with no presidential aspirant running on their. preferential ballot, renomi- nated Senator George Radcliffe, one-time business associate of Presi- dent Roosevelt, by nearly a two- one margin over National Commit- teeman Howard Bruce. Four Slates in California. In the California Democratic pri- mary, four delegate slates were en- tered. One was pledged to President Roosevelt and one to Vice President Garner. Two others, one of which was led by “ham and eggs” pension forces, were uninstructed. One un- instructed slate was on the Repub- lican ballot. Besides the California - voting, there were primaries today in four other States, as follows: Alabama: Democrats were choos- ing 22 national convention dele- gates from men pledged to the favorite son candidacy of Speaker Bankhead. Mr. Bankhead was un- opposed for renomination to the House, but five colleagues had op- Pposition. Florida: More than half the 88 candidates for 14 national conven- tion votes announced support of a third term; Senator Charles An- drews was opposed for Democratic renomination by five candidates, in- cluding Gov. Fred P. Cone. Indiana: Both major parties were choosing nominees for 12 House seats, along with State convention delegates. Townsend pension fordes were trying to defeat Representatives Charles A. Halleck and George W. Gillie, Republicans. South Dakota: Republican and Democratic national delegations of eight members each were unin- structed. Congressional candidates in each party had no opposition, but there were gubernatorial con- tests. Idaho Precedents Broken. Idaho Republicans broke a couple of precedents and pledged Mr. Dewey their eight delegates to the national convention. The New York district attorney eaptured the approval of the State convention here yesterday, 133 to €8. Idaho became the first of the Btates choosing by convention to pledge its delegation to Mr. Dewey. And Mr. Dewey became the first “outsider” ever to win an instructed Republican delegation from Idaho. ‘The convention also went on rec- ord as favoring repeal of the Re- ciprocal Trade Agreements Act, op- posing transfer of the Forestry Service to the IMterior Department and urging continuation of the present reclamation policy. 5,000 Candidates in Florida. In Florida more than 679, per- sons were eligible to vote for more than 5000 candidates for national, Btate, county and district offices. Election of delegates to the Demo- eratic National Convention was watched “to see how the wind blows” regarding a third term for President Roosevelt. United States Senator Charles O. Andrews competed with five oppo- nents in his campaign for renomina- tion. They include Gov. Cone, State Railroad Commissioner Jerry W. Carter of Tallahassee, Attorney- Author Charles Francis Coe of West Palm. Beach, Magazine Publisher Bernarr MacFadden of - Miami Beach and Dr. O. B. Hazen of West Palm Beach.

FORT WORTH, May T.—Federal Judge James C., Wilson of Fort Worth, in a statement yesterday, called Secretary of the Interior Jckes “a publicity seeker.” Although Mr. Ickes had eriti- eized his handling of a hot-oil case at Houston, involving defendants Renne Allred, jr., and Neal Powers, €he settlement of the case was ef- Cected by Government and defense eounsel, Judge Wilson said. “This whole thing is a tempest in a teapot over nothing, raised by Mr. Ickes, in part, through his craze for publicity. The facts are that the Allred and Powers case was eompromised by the parties -to it.” Judge Wilson's statement followed the release in Washington by Mr. Ickes of correspondence between the two pertaining to the case, Allred and Powers were fined.
