ing at $50 o'clock in the Burlington
hotel, by firing a bullet into his brain.
Disney came to Burlington Tues
day night from Peoria and registered
at the local hotel at II o'clock, being
assigned to room SIG. According to
the clerk, George McMasters, who
was on duty, the broker appeared In
his usual calm way and did not show
signs of being excited.
Undoubtedly aware of the fact that
her husband would attempt to end
his life, Mrs. Disney followed him to
Burlington on tho first train the next

Wife Arrives at Hotel.
She called the Burlington hotel
at 6:15 o'clock to inquire if her hus-
band was there, and about ten
minutes later appeared in person.
She asked the hotel clerk to ring
her husbands room, as she wanted
to see him.
"Mr. Disney, your wife is here:
shall bring her UP to your room?"
asked McMasters of the stock broker.
Eyes," replied Disney, after hest
tating several minutes.
She was shown to his room and
Immediately told her husband that
the financial difficulty in Peoria had
been settled, and begged him to re-
turn home with her. Going into the
bathroom, she noticed revolver
wrapped in towel.
Mrs. Disney took the weapon and
tried to leave the room, but her hus-
band forced her to give him the gun
and, powerless to prevent him by
physical strength from taking his

down to the hotel lobby.

she feared her husband would take
his life because he had lost heavily
on an investment in Peoria, ano
wanted the clerk to prevent this il

King, g, Recently
Wood Leader, May
Support Johnson
Woman Suffrage Gets the
Backing of Connecticut
Republicans; Special
Ratification Is Demanded
Special Dispatch to Tho Tribune

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March "a
John T. King, retiring national commit
! teeman from Connecticut and until re-
Gently manager Of the Leonard Wood
campaign in this state, has now
switched his loyalty and will probably
come out for Hiram Johnson.
This report and the fact that the Re-
publicans to-day indorsed woman suf-
frage are the chief topics of conversa-
tion in state politics at present.
While Mr.. King made no definite
statement as to the transfer Of his
allegiance, party members who talked
with him at the Republican State Con-
vention to-day, were certain that he
was planning to start work at once
for CALIFORNIA; candidate not only in
Connecticut but throughout New Eng
land.
Following the adoption Of the reso-
luton approving suffrage to-day, Gov
ernor Holcomb was asked by the con-
vention to call a special session of the
Legislature to ratify the national suf-
frage amendment.
ANY other action would be sui
cidal," said Colonel Isaac NJ Ullman,
New Haven County leader, who pre-
sented the resolution. Decision to ask
the convention to pass it was reached
this morning by vote Of Is to men,
bers of the state central committee.
Mr.. King was defeated when his aid,
Lieutenant Governor Clifford Wilson,
moved that q committee of five from
each county be named by the chair
man, United States Senator Frank B.
Brandegee, to present delegates-at-
large for the national convention This
motion would have upset the organiza-
tion plan for the appointment Of the
delegates, and Colonel Ullman. leading
the state organization, mustered 307
tisans.
Wilson bitterly attacked ]. Henry
Roraback, chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee, charging him with be-
ing lobbyist and with causing the
split in party ranks which resulted IN
the election of Judge Simeon Baldwin,
Democrat, eight years ago.
The full organization slate for the
national convention was elected, headed
by Charles F. Brooker, Of Ansonia
formerly National Committeeman
Cnarles Hopkins Clark, Of Hartford
editor Of "The Courant"; James J.
Walsh, of Greenwich, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and Mr.
Roraback as delegates-at- t-large.
Only one ticket of delegates at large
and district delegates was placed in
the field. Mr.. King, who had been a
candidate for delegate at large, ac-
cepted election as member of the
Fairfield County delegation, although
! not at its head.
King also was reelected a member
of the state central committee on its
reorganization for the coming cam
paign, and his friends announce that
they expect to be able to block the
plan to elect Mr.. Roraback National
Committeeman from Connecticut by
forcing the election Of Mr.. Brooker
who was formerly committeeman. King
also will TRIP to force the nomination
of Mr.. Wilson for Governor at the
state campaign this fall.

OF Country Will
Meet in CHICAGO
National Conference to
Name Permanent Commit.
tee and Outline Policies
for Republican Campaign

Captain John F. Lucey, temporary
chairman of the Hoover National Re-
publican Club, yesterday announced
that national conference of Hoover
supporters will take place in Chicago
within the next ten days. The confer
ence, called at the instance of local
Hoover clubs wishing to coordinate
their activities for Herbert Hoover as
the Republican Presidential nominee,
will be asked to name permanent ma
tlonai committee, permanent chair
man, and to outline policies and future
work for Republican Hoover cam
paign if the conference decides such
action is desirable
Such conference will be the natu-
ral outgrowth of all of the Hoover
movements" said Captain Lucey.
Mrs. Oscar S. Straus will preside al
meeting of Republicans at the Hotel
lajestic tonight to discuss the can
ass being made in the 17th Congress
ional District to elect delegates
lodged to the support of Hoover DR..
katharine B. Davis and. Walter S.
iaight will speak.
Hoover boom by the Wood campaign
committee brought the following state
ment from Watson Washburn, chair
man of the 18th District committee:
Campaign managers Tor General
Wood offer curiously inconsistent COM
ment on the Hoover boom when they
say that General Wood is the Republi-
can 'party's one certainty of success
Voters have been told repeatedly that
any Republican can win this year. Ap-
parensly the supporters of General
Wood share the opinion of Mr.. Hoover's
friends, that Republican of mediocre
ability may be beaten. To prevent that
possibility we are working for MIR.
Hoover because we believe he is the
man best fitted for the place. The gen.
erals boomers seem to have different
view, but we are not trying to read
them out of the party because they
happen to favor a candidate other than
ours. 1t is hard to see how they can
claim for General Wood any monopoly
of Republican sentiment, when so many
other candidates are being considered.
Their position comes dangerously close
to an attempt to make one candidate
of more Importance than all the rest
of the party"

should try the experiment. of the ner.
haps longer road proposed bv the CON cor
ference for the development Of mutual.
lty OF relationship between employer
and employee, rather than to enter
upon summary action of court decision
that may both stife the delicate ad-
Justment Of industrial processes and
cause serious conflict over human
rights. To me the upbuilding of the
sense of responsibility and Of intelli-
gence in each individual unit in the
United States, with the intervention of
government only to promote the de-
velopment of these relations, the sup
preston Of domination by any one
group over another, is the basis upon
which democracy must progress.
II do not believe we can attain equal
ity of opportunity or maintain initia-
tive through capitalization of eco
nomic classes or groups arrayed
against each other, nor can we attain
it by transferring to governmental
bureaucracies the distribution of
material and intellectual products. |
do believe that we can attain it by sys-
tematic prevention of domination of
the few over the many and stimulation
of individual effort in the whole man.
II am sure you would view the entry
OF the government on a nationwide
scale into the determination of fair
wage and fair profit in industry, even
If it could be accomplished without
force, with great apprehension. There
are some things worse in the develop
ment of democracy than strikes and
lockouts, and whether by legislative re-
preston we do not set up economic and
social repercussions' of worse character
is by no means determined. Courts and
litigation are necessary to the preser-
walton of life and property, but they
are less stimulus to improved relations
among men than are discussion and dis
posal of their own differences"
