Suits Brought By Society Woman To Determine Identity of Babies In Chicago Mixed Maternity Case Seeks $100,000 Damages | . From Hospital — Also Plans Similar Action for ‘Mental Anguish’—Wat- kins Uncertain They | Have Right Child. Chicago, July 29 (P—The- baby boy in the William Watkins home today became “John Doe.” As the infant's “best friend,” Mrs. | Grace Dibrell, a prominent club- woman, authorized Attorney Barrett O'Hara, counsel for the Watkins family, to gle today a $100,000 suit | for “lost identity” damages against the staft of the Englewood hospital, where the Watkins and Charles Bamberger babies were born June 30. The baby who alleges “he does not know who he is” will seek in the suit to learn if he is rightfully Charles Evans Watkins or George Edward Bamberger, the boy bap- tized Sunday as the Bambergers' son. “Mental Anguish” Claimed Attorney O'Hara disclosed another sujt for $100,000 damages for “mental anguish” would be filed soon by Mr. and Mrs. Watkins against the hospital. In the trial of the suit, O'Hara #aid, the findings of the scientists and medical men summoned by | Health Commissioner Arnold H. Kegel probably will be offered as evidence, | These findings would convince | Mr. and Mrs. Bamberger, if they | would study them, that they have | the infant really born to Mrs. Wat- kins,” Dr. Kegel said after declar- ing that Bamberger had refused to read the findings. Mrs. Dibrell, head of the Mothers | of Illinois, a group formed after the | baby mixup, said a mass meeting of | “mothers, prospective mothers and | prospective brides” will be held on Thursday to discuss means of thwarting another such maternity ward tangle. Want to Be Sure In discussing the “lost suit, Mrs. Watkins said: “We don't want fo force the Bambergers to give up their baby— or our baby. That isn't the idea. We may have the right baby after all. We can't figure out why the | Bambergers can be so sure they have theirs." OKLAHOMA HOLDS PRIMARIES TODAY that | identity"” | post beéame apparent. Large and Motley Field Appears On Ballot Listing July 29 (P—Voi- ers of politically turbulent Okl homa. were offered slates of Candi- dates including two impeached go ernors, two oil millionaires, a worm- an, and a blind former senator| from which to select senatorial and gubernatorial nominees at the pri- maries today. | Party leaders predicted that to- day's vote would reach 325,000 be- cause of the big field of candidates and the political pyrotechnics which accompanied’ the campaign. The accusation of excessive e: penditures entered the campaign when Woodson E. Norvell twice un- successfully sought to bar his mil- lionaire opponent in the senatoriai race, Charles J. Wrightman, Tulsa oil man Campaign managers said th: number of candidates for the two| principal offices precluded the po: sibility of any one receiving a m jority, which would necessitate a run-off primary August 12, an in- novation for Oklahoma. Chief among the nine democratiz aspirants for the gubernatorial nom- | fration were W. H.

B. Howard, Judge Frank Bailey, Chickasha: 8. J. Sham, state auditor, and M. Trapp. former governor. Johnson Assafls Enemies Henry S. Johnson, ousted as governor on charges of incompe- | tence, campaigning for vindation, | assailed bitterly his .nine opponents | for the senatorial nomination, which | include Charles J. Wrightman of Tulsa; Lee Cruce and J. B. A. Rob- | ertson, both former governors; T. P. Gore, a blind former senator, and Mrs. Kathryn Van Leuven, assistant | attorney general. J. C. “Jack™ Walton, who was| ousted from office as governor when he declared martial law during a | Ku Klux Klan controversy, sought | the independent senatorial nomina- tion unopposed. The principal republican primary contest was between Ira A. Hill, Cherokee, state senator, and “Big Jim" Harris, Wagoner, former na- tional committeeman and state| chairman. The nomination of W. D. Pine, | republican senator, was looked up by political observers as a foregone conclusion.

This, the thh command of the party now holds, | can be done only by the entire com- mittee. Precedent Found Although in March, 1920, the ex- | ecutive committee was authorized bv the major committee to fill vacan- cies, a precedent for the present at- | titude has been found in the circum- stances surrounding the retirement of Dr. Hubert Work as chairman. Dr. Work announced during the sign, but his resignation was nat ac- cepted and Mr. Huston was not elected until September, when the | entire committee was called togeth- | the purpose. The by-laws | changeis interpreted <as applying only to fiilling vacancies in the com- mittee’s personnel.
