ARNENIAN YOTERS " HEAR WPDONOUGH Democrat Brings Up Oil Scandal at National Capital Speaking before some 500 Ar- ‘menlan-American citizens at the ‘Armenian church hall on Tremont street Sunday afternoon, Attorney Thomas F. McDonough, democratic candidate for state senator, accused the republican administration with one of the greatest scandals in the history of this country, namely the famous oil scandal, stating that the republicans not only brought nmmej upon themselves through illegal | deals but were reaching much farther—to the oil fields of Ar- | ‘menia, which they wanted to take under control. He also discredited the claim of republican prosperity, bringing to the minds of his listeners the crip- pled condition of New England in- dustries and the alleged laxity with which the republican administration | looks upon the situation “imom} making any effort to better lhos-\i conditions. In praising the demo- | cratic candidate for the presidency, Mr, McDonough impressed the lis- | teners with the fact that Gov. Smith ‘would follow out the Wilson admin- istration in taking an active inter- est in the restoration of Armenian territory to its rightful owners, Other speakers of the evening were V. Aharonian and M. T. Ka- ladgian, both of the central com- mittee of the democratic campaign | headquarters of New York, who | spoke to their countrymen in their | national tongue, appealing to their good judgment in selecting the right ‘man for the highest position in the country. D. Barkisian, president of the Armenian-American Political club of this city, presided over the meeting. WAY DISWISS ALL CONMUNISTS S00N England Asks Remunciation of Faiths fo Save Jobs London, Oct. 22 (M — Asserting that ‘reports had reached the gov-| ‘ernment of communist agitation at| naval dockyards, the Daily Sketch sald today that all communists now employed at the Woolwich arsenal fnd naval.dockyards would be dis- Imiased unless they renounced their Rlleglance to communist doctrines. The decision was said to be due to the open revolutionary aims of the communist party. ‘Workman Fired Percy Glading, a workman at the ‘Woolwich arsenal, has been dis- missed “after he rejected the alter- native of abandoning communism. Glading is a member of the Amal- | gamated Engineers’ union and union officlals interviewed TLord Btanhope, civil lord of the admiral- ty, concerning his case. The newspaper said Lord Stan- hope held that the question was neither political nor one concerning trade unions but was a matter of national safety. He added in effect that it was impossible for a man to be & loyal member of the commu- hnist party and at the same time a oyal servant of the government, Having received this reply, engineers’ union ©of Glading to the trades union council. A member of the council was quoted by the paper as saying the situation was very delicate and embarrassing.

Curtis, Hartford began preparations today for its reception to the democratic presidential can- didate, Governor Alfred E. Smith, who comes here Thursday. Because of a heavy speaking pro- gram already arranged by national campaign headquarters, Smith told National Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy he would be unable to make a speech here. Instead, how- ever, the democratic candidate will participate in a parade and recep- tion, afterward confering with dem- ocratic state leaders, Governor Smith is scheduled to arrive here Thursday on his return from Boston where he -7l deliver an address Wednesday. Saturday, the governor of New York will speak at Baltimore, Ma. Spellacy has asked Smith to have his train routed over a route which would carry it through the most populous centers. The train prob- ably will make short stops at Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford and Springfield, Mass. CAMPAIGN STARTS LAST TWO WEEKS Prosperity Believed fo Be Main Issue Now Washington, Oct. 22 (UP)—The presidential campaign rushed into the home stretch today, with only a fortnight still to run, Indications are that these last two wecks will see the race stripped to essentials ,with extraneous issues which cluttcred the early stretches, dropped. CUnless signs fail—and they can in this fast moving struggle prosperity in one form or another and probably prohibition will be the main rallying issues. Push Up Forces ‘The republicans are pushing up their main forces. Herbert Hoover makes probably the most important speech of his campaign in Madison Square Garden, New York, tonight. Gov. Alfred E. Smith will rest briefly at Albany before smashing into his eastern campaign. The republicans will be aided by Vice President Dawes and former Secre- | tary of State Charles Evans Hughes !in the closing days, They lay great |store by these two prominent fig- ures. The democrats have no “aces in | the hole’ 'so far as known, but are | relying for many voters on the pro- verbial Smith whirlwind finish, The past week was characterized by two distinctly new developments. |In the first place, Smith attacked | Coolidge economy, and drew admin- | istration fire here, especially from Secretary of Treasury Mellon, who argued, in effect, that Smieh did not | inow whereof he spoke when he dis- | cussed federal cxpenses. The scond “break” came in Washington gov- ernment’s cancellation of the Sin- | clair lease on Salt Creek. oil field— a relic of the old oil exposes. Hoov- i er headquarters said it knew nothing of the matter whie Chairman Work of the republican national commit. tee, former secretary of interior, dismissed it with the statement that people are tired of the oil matter. He claimed that as secretary of t! terior, he had the department soli- | citor's advice when he renewed the | lease which Attorney General Sar- gent now finds objectionable, Seizes Incident | Smith seized upon the incident to suggest people, are not only tired but | gusted’ 'with the oil develop- ment “Whispers” cropped up in the past weck, and Hoover headquarters de- nicd a story repeated by Gov. Bilbo of Mississippi that Hoover had |danced with a negress while on a {fiood trip in the south. A postmas- [ter and assistant postmaster in Fennsylvania were suspended due to alleged conspiracy to mail, without propert identitying marks, a circu- | 1ar attacking Hoover. | The swing in issues—extraneous land otherwise— has been remark- ab) Religion and liquor were heaviiy stressed in the early days, though many on both sides insisted these questions were not real isstes lin the general accepted sense of the | term. arm relief, Tea- pot Dome, waterpower, tariff, im- migration, cconomy, all had their inning: ‘Whispers” played a role. $mith denied some, Hoover deplored injection of the religious question into the campaign.

" PHENRIN Break G;w g old Wl nat affe ct the hea _;md \ araley NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1928, ICHANUTE MAY HAVE, JANNED CONTRLS sponsible for Crash of Plane Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 22 (UP) —W. Octave Chanute, Denver finan- cier, killed in the Junkers plane which fell here last Friday, may have jammed the controls of the air- cording to a statement dictated at the hospital by George Edward King pilot of the plane. King said he did not “know posi: tively” that Chanute, riding in the pilot's cockpit beside him, interfer- ed with the controls, but when ask- ed directly if he thought the acci- dent was due to the Denver banker's interfering with the controls, King replied: “Yen Chanute, who died several hours after the accident, was sitting beside King when the plane wavered and fell from an altitude of about 600 feet. Theq plane was swinging in to make a landing at the flying fleld. The falling plane struck telegraph and telephone wires, and glanced oft into deep mud on the bank of a stream, burying its nose. The mud broke the force of the fall, probably saving the lives of the other occu- pants of the plane, all of whom were injured. Seemed Normal “I do not what Mr, Chanute's con- dition was, but he seemed normal. He had had a few drinks, but he was perfectly silent,” King said in the statement which he dictated in the presence of Robert L. Purnello of the police accident bureau. “Jewell (Pliny Jewell, Boston in- vestment banker) seemed to have had as much to drink as Mr. Chan- ute, but the rest seemed to be all right. No one was operating the plane but myself. No one could in- terfere with the controls from the cabin, He would have to be in the cockpit as there is a wall between the cabin and the cockpit. “How the controls became jam- med, no one seems to know. It looks as though some one had interfered with the controls. They were not permanently jammed, but tempor- arily, as if someone had tampered with them.” “At this time, do you place the blame of the accident on any indi- vidual person in the plane?” Fur- nello asked King. King answered: “Well, I hate to blame the man, but no one but Mr. Chanute could have interferd.” Previously King had denied that any passenger was to .blame for the acclde:fl. Strenuous Objections Denver, Colo., Oct. 22 (UP)— Statements made in Atlantic City, N. . by George E. King, pilot of the Junkers plane which crashed there while carrying several prominent bankers, were objected te strenu- ously by Denver friends of W. Oc- tave Chanute, who was killed in the accident. Arthur H. Bosworth, senior part. ner of the firm of Bosworth, Chan- ute, Loughridge and Co., of which Chanute was a partner, isfied a statement of which the following is a part: “My attention has been called to a United Press article stating that the pilot ® ¢ ® ¢ stated that Mr. Chanute caused the accident by in- terfering with the controls and im- plying that Mr. Chanute and an- other member of the party had been drinking. . . . . “I am distressed by the statement that Mr. Chanute had been drink- irg. Those who knew him will not believe it but others may, It is a trait of human nature to believe disparaging statements about those whom we do not know." Knew Too Much Other friends of Chanute, who was an aviation euthusiast, declared that Chanute “knew too much about flying” to interfere with a pilot's controls, Henry Hayes of New York, presi- dent of the Investment Bankers' of America Association, is still in At. |lantic City. He telephoned friends! of Chanute here, saying that Atlan- tic City newspapers had gone to un- due lengths to sensationalize the ac- cident. He declared the pilot's statement was erroncous in several particulars. James D. Newton, Denver bond | man, said that he had known Cha- | nute for 20 years and T have never | heard of nor seen him under the influence of liquor. - OF BEING ELECTED IFLABOR GOES ON ((Continued on Page 18) speech here tonight,” he sald with a | | smile, | “How rigors of the campaign?” next inquiry. | “I was never in better physical | condition in my life,” the nominee | replied. “You look it,” one of the corres- | pondents said. | Hoover met the newspapermen at ithe conclusion of a breakfast con- Iference with party leaders in the courze of which he received opti- | mistic reports as to the outlook, not alone in the home state of his dem- ocratic opponent, but also in the castern sector generally. Tilon Present During more than an hour with these leaders, the nominee went over plans for speeding up campaign work in New York state and in New England. Among those with whom he conferred were Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of of the republican na- tional committee; Charles D. Hilles, national committeeman for New York; H.

Greeting former assoclate in the work of post war relife in Europe, Hooever said he knew of a0 incident in American history which showed “the fine spirit of our people more than the enormous support con- tributed in times of difficulty to aid not only friend but former foe.” “It is a pleasure to meet my old associates in the great undertaking of 1920 for the reliet we carried on amongst 10,000,000 children and 23 different nations in Europe,” the nominee said. “You here represent not only the American organisations which co- operated in that effort, but you also represent the nations which were recipients of that relief. It was an undertaking in a time of very great difficulties. Our own country was in a state of financial panic, We were not free from the fevers of war and the multitude of prejudices which ran through all countries. “I know of no Incident in our his- tory which showa the fine spirit of our people more than the enormous | support contributed in times of dif- ficulty to aid not only friend but former foe. I know of no finer proof than the fact that all races when on American soil become Americans in their attitude toward the rest of the world, whether that attitude be in great charity or in in- | ternational relations, “Your coming here memories to all of us, “I apprecite this tribute from you and I doubly appreciate the fact| that a friendship established so many years in a common cause! should continue unabated to this| day.” { revives fine 0.0, AW, OBSERVES SOTH ANNIVERSARY New Britain Council Has Ban- quet on Iis Birthday New Britain Counell, No. 8, O.

Druce of 77 Kelsey street, were passing through the woods in Newington and heard the third boy shriek as he cut him- self. They hastened to the stricken youth and set about treating him. | Stadler had a first aid kit with him. | He stopped the flow of blood by making a tourniquet of a key and | handkerchief and-pressing the key against the boy's wrist. He then cleaned out the wound with an an- tiseptic and the two took the un- fortunate youth to his home in New- ington.
