LOOLIDGE AGAN STARTLES BACKERS Asks His Name Be Kept Off Bay State Primary List Washington, April 21 (®—Anoth. r furlong in the preferential dele- siie steeplechase leading to the residential nominating conventions itood completed today as an out- 1e of yesterday's sweeping politi- *«l activity. The day scemed to have ;vovided a fitting semi-windup for he fcature race on the pre-conven- Jion card next week when states wng regarded as pivotal will run off lieir primary races, ’ Topping primary conventions in thirce states, which served only to further advance the causes of the the eading candidates, and a sen- ate debate on Herbert Hoover's ciances,” was another statement by sident Coolidge which observers 1 will put & crimp in the plans o anyone proposing to carry the move- ment to draft him to the Kansas City vonvention floor. President’s Letter The president, by letter, informed ‘rancis Prescott, chairman of the Aiassachuse{ts republican state com- nittce, that proposal of his name as 1 candidate in the primaries in that ate would be “most embarrassing' and would tend to ‘‘compromise” finu. “Reports have come to me that some persons in Massachusetts are proposing to writc my name as a randidate for president at the pri- naries on April 24, the president wrote. uch action would be most mbarrassing to me, and, while ap- sreciating the compliment that is intended, I request that it not be My name is being used in other states in a way that is contrary to my wishes,” he continued. “I have ficard that in New York city it has me so far as to be claimed such use is with my tacit consent. Jn my cwn state, to give any countenan * to such a movement would tend to _ompromise me and lend color to the misrepresentations that apparently being made in other states. n, therefore, sending you this public declaration of my position and requesting that such attempts be discontinued.” 5 Irank O. Lowden, runner-up to jloover in the republican race, had his pledged and claimed delegate lnte boosted to at least 16S yesters lay as a result of the action in Il- Iinois, his home state, of the republi- m state convention in instructing the entire state's 61 delegates for the former governor. Thus, Low- aen picked up 22, as he had only taimed 39 there previously. Hoover Given Two Hoover gained two more dele- in Michigan by the ncnon of “liat state’s fourth congressional’ dis- rict convention and ran his total in- nicted and claimed convention votes to at least 216. He had tak- cil 16 delegates there in prior dis- trict meetings, Governor Smith, on the democra. tic side, gathered in 27 more dele- tes to put him away out in front with 291 pledged and claimed Hous- ton votes. In pledging their entire 53 to the New York executive, the Illinols democratic state convention carcd up the only doubtful deles pate on itg slate, Smith previously having been conceded 67. Smith's big victory came in Jowa, where a dry faction headed by Ed- ward T. Meredith, former secretary of agriculture, had put up a stiff iizht to keep that state's 26 delegates in the Meredith “favorite son” col- wmn or at least away from the New York candidate. Thg atate conven- tion instructed .the entire 26 for ith hy acclamation. Under the instructions adopted, the Towa delegates are to vote for iith *‘as long as there is reason- ble opportunity of securing his nomination the majority to deter- wine when, if ever, the delegates shall be released from this vote of instruction.” While Smith is leading by a eom- fortable margin in the race for the nomination, some of his dry oppo- nents see little hope of his being clected if he is victorious in the con- vention, One of these is F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, who last night predicted that the New York governor, if nominated, would re- ceive “less than 200 of the 531 elec- toral votes even it one concedes to him in every state that could pos- sibly be imagined as voting for the wet Tammany candidate.” Smith’s Weakness “Smith weakness,” “he said, “is that he is strong in republican states that cannot possibly be carried by him because of the large republican majority and he is weak in states such as Ohlo, Indiana, Tennessce, Colorado and Oklahoma, where a democratic victory would be doubt- ful” The scnate political debate broke out again yesterday when Sena- tor Sackett, republican, Kentucky, praised Hoover's record in replying to a statement of George N. Peck, farm representative, attacking the commerce secretary's attitude to- ward the farmers, The Peek statement, inserted in fhe congressional record by Senator Norbeck, republican, Bouth Dakota, was characterized by Backett as “a collection .of misstatements, misd representations and concldsions dis- tinctly libelous.” Replying, Norbeck said Hoover should not be elected president, “because he was not interested in America until he was 43 years old.” ‘The South Dakotan, who is sup- porting Lowden for the nomination, predicted Hoover’'s defeat as an op- ponent of Smith. Declaring he had “failed to get” Sackett's speech, Norbeck called on the Kentuckian to show where Hoover had done something for the farmers. Rackett replied that the farmers were in the best of condi- tion of history during the admin- istration of Hoover as food admin- istrator. MEREDITH IN HOSPITAL Baltimore, Md.. April 21 (UP)— Tdwin T. Meredith of Des Molnes, Towa, former secretary of cul- ture, 18 at Johns Hopkins jospital hers, it was learned today. The na- ure of his illncss was not disclosed. BRIEF MEMORANDUM FILED ON PROPOSED NEW BANK State Commission Explains It Thinks Citizens’ Industrial Is Not Needed Here, A charter for the Citizens' Indus- trial Bank of New Britain, has been denicd because, in the opinion of the state banking commission, “public convenicnce and advantage does not require the establishment of an in- dustrial bank in the city of New Britain.” This is the reason set forth in the brief memorandum received today by Stanley J. Traceski, attorney for the group of Itallan business and professional men who had applied for permission to open a bank here. The document is signed by Commis- sioner R. E. 8hippee, Deputy Treas- urer Thomas H. Judd and Deputy Comptroller E. H. Wilkins, i BENNETT STRICKEN "L WITH A GOLD (Continued from First Page) i plane. It the skis are attached they will be changed for wheels ‘again when the Bremen comes here to re- fuel. The Ford plane on its arrival here was loaded with 650 gallons of gas- oline—enough for the hop from De- troit, then to Greenly Island and to New York. Fitzmauvrice said he believed the Bremen could be patched together easily enough with the materials available. If she can take the air under her own power the same three men who brought her on the history- | making flight from Dublin will fly her on the last leg of the trip to New York. But if melting ice at Greenly Island interferef with a take.oft or it repairs prove not so ecasily made as is expected, then the German- Irish crew of the Bremen will come to Murray Bay in the Ford plane, Bennctt and Balchen said they would fly to New York as an escort tor the Bremen if she can make the trip. The two pilots—onc a veteran of Commander Byrd's north pole flight and the other a member of Byrd's transatlantic trip—have in- vited three passengers for the trip to New York. They are Louis Couture, who sent a plane of the Canadian Trans-Con- tinental Airways to Greenly Island; “Duke” Schiller, the first pilot to reach tho island after the Bremen landed, and Miss Junkers. May Postpone Montreal, April 21 (LP)—Toda) s delay may result in alteration of the reception schedule in New York al- though there 1s still time for the Bremen to get back to Murray Bay by Monday and complete fueling. There are several ifa in the way, however. It may be found that the propeller shaft is twisted and that the propeller taken off a sister Junkers ship to replace the Brem- en's smashed one, does not fit, Then there is the big question mark of whether the Bremen will take off from the ice bound Greenly Isle. The plane has been resting on improvised buoys where it broke the ice of the island reservoir. But now, the Germans, Capt. Hermann Koehl and Baron Huenefeld, with ald of natives have built a ateep runway down to more solid ice, and every- body is hoping that their labors have assured a proper start for the Bremen. ~ There is the danger, however, that the runway is too steep and that difficulties may be encountered moving the plane down its incline. Balchen’s Narrow Escape. | Bernt Balchef, who flew to Lake Ste. Agnes from Detroit with Ben- nett, was being congratulated today on his narrow escape from an acci- dent when the plane landed yester- day. Before the motor was shut off Balchen leaped out of the cockpit and knelt at the side of the planc attempting to drive a mooring stake close to the landing gear. A group | of field mechanics came up rrom! the opposite side of the plane and began swinging it around by ita tail without seeing Balchen. As the plane was turned the whirling propeller came close to Balchen, caught in the wire of the mooring stake and shot it out of his hand, ‘New York, April 21 (UP)—One of the largest military -escorts ever .assembled to welcome distinguished guests to New York has been organ- ized to receive the crew of the Bremen here next week.

Tt was dated Svalbard 12:31 p. m., April 21, and was signed “Wilkins- Efelson.” Elelson is the Alaskan flyer who has accompanied Wilkins on his pre- vious Arctic expeditions and went with him to Point Barrow, Alaska, early this ycar on his latest effort to find a lost continent and attempt a flight across the *“top of the world” to Spitzbergen. Success came to Wilkins on his third expedition. Two previous at- tempts at aerial exploration of the “blind spot” lying north of Point Barrow were unsuccessful. In the first of these in 1926, Palmer B. Hutchinson, a Detroit newspaper man accompanying the expedition, was killed at Fairbanks when he was struck by the propeller of one of Captain Wilkins' planes. In the second attempt, made the following year Captain Wilkins flew out into the arctic spaces and was forced down. Several days later he ing his conviction that a plane could be flown gcross the “top of the world” to Spitzbergen and his determination to try again. Checking Other Observations Copenhagen, April 2@ (UP)— Wilkins flew across the Arctic wastes to determine whether there was any undiscovered land in the Polar re- gion between Point Barrow and Spitzbergen. | When the dirigible Norge carry- | ing the Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile | expedition flew acroas the North Pole in 1926—in the opposite direc- tion from that taken by Wilkins— Roald Amundsen reported he had | seen no land. Wilkins:set out to check Amund- sen’s findings. | Oslo, Norway, April 21 (#—The newspaper Dagbland reports that Captain George H. Wilkins and Pilot | Carl B.

Tt had been assumed | that the island was as good as iso- lated by wireless, although someone | apparently was able to work the key | | sufficiently to get out a message on | the regular operator's death, The Wilkins flight across the Arc- tic regions was made in an effort to locate land there and chart the only spot on the globe still unknown to man. Dr. Issiah Bowman, director of the American Geographical Bociety, sald some time ago that the Wil- kins flight would “end the age of discovery begun by Columbus, for mankind will then have searched the entire globe.” Plans for a polar airplane ex-' pedition were completed by Captain George Hubert Wilkins, Australian explorer and aviator, on December | 22, 1925. He was to fly across the | center of the Arctic ice back. | His flight, according to l'lrnlcl-? dispatches to the mewspaper Politi- ken in Copenhagen, {ndicates the Wilkins expedition must have ex- perienced much of the same thrill as the members of the transatlantic Bremen's crew.

For five days he was bound fast on the island, prevented from taking oft Wilkins tried to accomplisir his trans-Arctic feat in 1926 but i1l luck dogged his efforts. Carl B.
