STATE PRIMARIES

County com mittees OF political parties
in Indiana will appoint precinct com
mitteemen in precincts created by divi-
sion Of other precincts. as a result Of
the announcement of election law in
terpretatiOns by the state election COM
mission.
There had been some question as to
the right Of a candidate who had filed
in the old precinct to step into the va
cancy IN a new one, but Gov. Goodrich
and his two election commissioners de
eided the aPpointive power should lie
with the party organizations.
The commission followed the recent
opinion Of Ele Stansbury, attorney gen
eral in deciding that women can not
be delegates TO state conventions this
year nor candidates for county offices
prior 10 the approval of the suffrage
amendment.
In determining the limit on campaign
expenditures the 1916 vote should be the
guide in the case of four year candidates
and the 1915 vote in the case of two
year candidates, the commission decided.
Under the law the legal amount for
such expenditures is based on the num-
Der Of votes cast for that Office at the
next preceding election.
Names Of all candidates for president
vice president and state Offices shall be
placed on the ballot. it was decided, even
though a candidate has no opposition.
Where there is only one candidate for
precinct committeeman or any Office Of
any subdivision Of the state the name
shall not be placed on the ballot but
the candidate shall be certified by the
election commissioners just as though
q primary election had been held.

RYAN RESIGNS HIS SEAT IN VENGEANCE Accuses Board of Governors of Being Short In Stutz
 Stock
py A,.sei.sst prs,s

New York, April l3.--Allan A. Ryan, chairman of the Stutz Motor Car Com pany. resigned today from the New York Stock Exchange and accused mem bers of the board of governors of being short in Stutz stocks, trading in which was suspended by the exchange when the price sl<yrocketed-
 A member of the committee of the ex- change, according to Ryan, is a partner of firm that is short a large number of shares in Stutz and continued to sell ' Stutz up to the last moment that trading was allowed. and has as yet failed to make delivery.
 Ryan said threats had been made against him designed to extricate from their valid exchange contracts those who attempted unsuccessfully to depress the market value of his stocks, and that he could not retain his self-respect if he re- nlained a member. His letter of resigna- ton. addressed to the board of governors. asked that his seat be sold without de- lay.
 Trading in Stntz was suspended two weeks ago after the price had risen rap- idly around loo to 3s1. Shorts found that Ryan held most of the stock, and the exchange absolved members of the usual obligation to deliver stock they had sold pending settlement of the mar. ter by legal proceedings or otherwise. In one auction sale after the suspension several hundred shares sold at 7oi
 Then fluctuations in the price of Stron. berg Carburetor. which Ryan controls attracted attention. and ths -=change di- rected it's members to report dealings in that stock. The Association of Stock Exchange Firms appointed committee to try to arrange the Stutz matter but negotiations with Ryan by this commit tee and by the exchange itself proved futile. The matter is expected to be aired in the courts.

Wood Carries Chicago and Cook County, But Low den's Lead Outside of Chi cago Increases As Count ing Progresses
By As.osIat,d Pf,,,


 Chicago. April 13.--Governor
 Lowden carried his home state to-
 day on the face of incomplete un-
 official returns in the republican
 presidential preference primary,
 with Major Gen. Leonard Wood
 second and Senator Hiram John
 son third, the Iatter's name being
 written in by the voters.
 Returns from 4,256 precincts out of 5,690 in Illinois gave Lowden 203,659, Wood 136,42S and Johnson 37,02S. Ahese returns were from ninety nine counties out of 102.
 General Wood carried Chicago and Cook county, but Governor Lowdens vote in the state outside of Chicago gave him a lead which progressed steadily with the counting of returns. Only the names of Wood and Lowden appeared on the ballot. Senator John sens strength was in Chicago. where most of his votes appeared. Herbert Hoover's name appeared on some of the republican ballots.
 There were no democratic primary candidates for President but the names of more than half a dozen democrats were written in the ballots in scattering returns.
 y counties. and in some places the elec- ton clerks failed to separate men and women ballots. The women's vote. however, was so comparatively light as not to affect the result. and it was divided in much the same ratio as the male vote.
 Complaints of frauds from intimida- tion of voters to marked ballots kept the police and election commissioners offices busy throughout the day.
 In one precinct 200 feet from the polling place an unidentified election worker was shot after a quarrel. The wounded man was spirited away be- fore the police arrived. Seven shots were fired during the clash.
 senator Johnson was the only candi- date whose name was written in to show marked strength. His principal vote in the early returns came from Chicago, where he had 15,416. Hoover and Harding received scattered votes. Democratic returns were light, as there were no formal candidates and included votes for Wilson, Edwards, Cox, Bryan, Watson and Palmer. Some Debs votes were reported.
