Discoverer Of South Pole Re-
turning Home After 18
Months Spent in Endeavor to
Reach Northern Axis.
NO REASON GIVEN FOR
EXPEDITIONS RETURN
Norwegian Explorer Will Sail
For Seattle Soon-Steame"
Maud Now Icebound in
KoIyma River, Siberia.

Washington. April 26. The
Amundsen polar exploration party
in the steamer Maud is icebound at
the mouth of Kolyma river, Siberia,
and awaiting an opportunity to sail
south, it was indicated in radio dis
patches made public at the Navy
department.. Amundsen, who dis
covered the South pole, apparently
had abandoned his attempt to reach
the North pole.
The expedition left Dien island in
the White sea in September 1918,
and had not since been heard from
rrtil the navy radio station at Cor
dova, Alaska, establishing commu-
nication with the party recently.
Expedition Icebound..
The first message was picked up
March Is from the station on St.
Paul's island. 1t said:
st. Paul reports S. O. S. from
Russian station at Anadyr stating
Amundsen expedition icebound in
Kolyma river and requesting we
handle important dispatches"
Later radio messages were inter
changed between Amundsen and his
family in Norway, but no informa-
ton regarding the condition of the
members of the expedition or the
reasons for turning back were given.
Messenger Starts South.
A dispatch i'll answer to mes
sage to the Cordova station asking
for all available information, said
a messenger had started south and
that Amundsen intended to take the
steamer Victoria at Nome. Alaska.
for Seattle, but that the time would
depend on when the expedition
could clear the ice. This message
came from the .Anadyr, Siberia
station, several hundred miles from
the mouth of the Kolyrna river.
e Navy department officials said it
was probable that the Maude,
Amundsen's ship, was still icebound
in the kolynla river and that party
has been sent overland to the trad
ing post radio station on Anadir
bay to establish communication
with the world.

Johnson Not to Contest
In Massachusetts, for
Primary Preference

Springfield, Mass, April 26.-In a
statement given out here today at
the request of Angus McSween,
manager of the Johnson eastern
headquarters in New York, an
nouncement is made that Senator
Johnson will not enter the primary
contest in Massachusetts,. The state
irent defining the senator's attitude
in the Bay state primary campaign is
as follows:
Senator Johnson. after careful
consideration of the situation in
Massachusetts,, decided not to enter
the primary contest there. He has
not authorized nor has any person
authorized in his behalf the indorse-
lncnt Of any candidate in that con-
test. Senator Johnson recognizes
that the men who are being voted
tor are i'll many instances of ma
tional prominence and that their
views upon public questions are
understood by the citizens of the
state. He does not desire to take
part in the contest, nor to have per-
sons who have generously formed
organizations in his behalf attempt
to influence the election of dele
gates who have not expressed a
preference for his nomination"
The statement is believed to have
been issued because of the action of
the secretary of the Hiram Johnson
club of Massachusetts, indorsing the
candidacy for delegateat-large of
+Alvan T. Fuller.

CANDIDATES IN
COP PARTY NOW
AT REAL CRISIS
This Week and Next May See
Eliminations in Race for Dele
gates to Convention.
BY E. o. PHILLIPS.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, April 26.-Republican
presidential candidates are at the
real crisis of the campaign for del
gates to the Chicago convention.
This week and the next, by all the
rules of politics, may see any or all
Of the active aspirants for the nom
ination eliminated. Such result of
the flock Of direct primaries, state
and district conventions to be held
within the fortnight would prepare
the way for the much discussed pos
sibility of a dark horse at the colise-
um in June.
1t is also possible that some one
of the contending candidates will
make such a distinguished showing
in the election of the 264 delegates
as to make him a most formidable
contender, thus tending to restrict
the convention choice to one Of the
present avowed entrants. .#
Many Elections Tuesday.
This week l46 delegates will be
elected, and all but l3-those of Ar
kansas-on Tuesday. Ohio, New
Jersey and Massachusetts, 60 to d.
rect primaries. Washington. Idaho
and Arkansas will elect at state con-
ventionS.
General Wood has more at stake
than any other candidate. He is in
a duel with Senator Johnson for the
2s New Jersey delegates. Senator
Harding and he are fighting it out
for Ohio's 48. In Massachusetts, it
is showdown between General
Wood, striving for all of the s.,
against a determination of the state
leaders to have a delegation unin-
structed, but presumably for Gov
ernor Coolidge. Washington is con-
ceded to Senator Poindexter as 4
favorite son; Idaha seems to be i'll
the grip of Senator Borah, and prob
ably for Senator Johnson. and Ar
kansas. friendly to Lowden, will de-
velop two contesting delegations.
Thrills Next Week.
The next week will be even more
thrilling politically. with Johnson
and Hoover fighting to the death in
California, with one of them certain
to lose. and perhaps permanently,
and with Indiana staging a political
free-for-all. All of the headliners
will spend this week in the most
spectacular campaign, probably, ever
fought out in battle-scarred Hoosier-
dom.
The week just ended was big
time stuff for Hiram Johnson. He
swabbed up Nebraska with Gener-
al Wood and got IA OF the 10 dele
gates; he didn't give a look-in to
anybody else in Montana, and he
annexed Nevada, total bag OF %
delegates.
Governor Lowden captured all of
Iowa with it's 26 votes. General
Wood took two in Nebraska and
two in Tennessee. Delaware elected
six uninstructed. conceded to Wood,
and Kansas and Tennessee COM
pleted their. delegations with two
and four uninstructed district dele
gates each. The Arkansas row
started with double set Of unin-
structed delegates in the Little
Rock district.
