< o s o e e [ e CHANCES SEEM T0 FAVOR HOOVER This s Opinion of Washington, News Correspondents Washington, June 6 (UP)-—Wash- ington correspondents, versed in the devious courses of politics, incline to helieve Herbert Hoover will be nom- inated on an early ballot at Kansas | City. A survey of a considerable group today showed that the majority toresee the secretary of commerce will be the choice of the republican convention, though some responsi- ie newspapermen here predict I'resident Coolidge will be the con- vention’s choice. i Some writers, dealing mainly with White House affairs, presented sug- gestions that Mr. Coolidge had | plaved politics with his “choose statement and subsequent elabo tions thereof. This group insisted | Mr. Coolidge meant quite definitely | he was not a candidate and would not be one. One writer for a prominent cast- crn journal declared Mr. Coolidge was t0o shrewd to take the nomina- tion this ycar. He pointed out that the reflex from the Coolidge econo- my wave is undoubtedly about to set in, and that congress shows signs of getting away from the president’s progrom, especially in economy mat- irs. This, he said, would mean any- thing but a pleasant position for Mr. Coolidge in the next four years. Another group—in the minority— Mr. Coolidge was mew! irgued 15 waiting for lightning to strike him. | and that the Coolidge "“drafters, with the aid of New York, Pennsyl- vania and other castern delegates— ind & roundup movement at Kansas City—would stop Hoover and finally the nomination to the president Some contended the politiclans would be frightened by the cry that the west would slaughter Hoover. | Others pointed out that Hoover was the largest group of delegates, and that the first contests at Kansas City had turned his way, showing that national committemen were in, his corner. Mr. Coolidge would take the nom- ination it it were a question of halting either Lowden or Dawes, one set said. On the other side, 1t was argued this contingency would not arise, SOUTHERN GROSS STARTS TONIGHT (ontinued from First Page) Harry Lyon, navigator, and James Warner, radio operator. “Imagine the roar of the plane’s 660 horse power motors, the plane's small cabin deafened with the roar of the motors, trying to send and re- celve radio messages one hundred per cent efficlent, 4,000 to 5,000 miles away. “Jim Warner possessed no mran skill and was full of courage in get- ting back to the old sea dog again.

The legislative council of the Fiji Brit- ish colony adopted a formal resolu- tion yesterday congratulating Cap- tain Kingsford-Smith and his com- panions on their safe arrival. Governor Hutson, voicing an ex- pression of appreciation, said that the British empire was proud of the performance of the Southern Cross ( and its crew. the Fij loaded with ine and oil Even the native Fijians came forth with honors for the fliers. During a ball given in the Grand Pacific hotel, Fijlan chiefs staged the impressive qalogalovi ceremony in which they presented to the air- men the coveted Tabua whales' teeth. To reccive such a gift i the highest honor a Fijlan chief can be- stow. In checking their plane for the Rrisbane hop, the aviators found that the Southern Cross arrived here with only 30 gallons of gaso- line remaining in its tanks. It was estimated this supply would have kept the ship in the air only about an hour. The tanks contained about 1,270 gallons of gasoline at the start | of the 3,138 miles from Kauai, Ha- | wall, { Suva, Fiji Islands, June 8 (UP)— ager to reach the shores of Aus- | tralla, the air pioneers of the South- | ern Cross tonight plotted the course | of their last 1,795 miles across the| Pacific. The flight to Brisbane, on which Captain Charles Kingsford-Smith | and his three comrades leave the | latter part of the week, will mark the end of their hazardous occan journey—the longest ever attempted over water.

While the world paid tribute to them in a flood of congratulatory messages, the two Australians and their American companions, Naviga- tor Harry W.
