Johnson's Charges of Fraud.
rBy Harold D. Jacobs, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 30.-Politicians
were speculating today on the pos
sible far-reaching effects OF Senator
Hiram Johnson's charges of fraud in
Tuesdays primary in New Jersey,
which has resulted in his demand for
recount in several districts.
This was the first open break be-
tween republican presidential candt-
dates in the pre-convention campaign.
It marked the elimination OF a grow
ing enmitv between the organlza-
tions OF Senator Johnson and Major
General Leonard Wood which had ITS
inception in the Dakota primaries in
March and nearly reached similar
crisis in the Minnesota preferential
vote. On the face Of returns, Wood
won in New Jersey by about LOCO.
Politicians saw in Johnson's chars.
es the elimination of a possible com
promise between the general and the
California senator at the Chicago
convention.
Wood has shown an utter disregard
for the unwritten law Of politics that
accords to "favorite SON. the un.
contested right to unanimous support
of his home state. He has been more
or less successful in splitting the

Ever since Amundsen sailed north
from Norway in 1918 he has been in
the Arctic. For 10 months he was not
heard from. First word from him
came in April 1890. when members
of his crew arrived at Anadir, ST.
IBERIA, across the Bering sea from
Nome, and reported they had come
overland from the Arctic. where the
Maude was waiting for the ice to
break so she could sail south to Nome
Wins Distinction
Amundsen's arrival at Nome, IL
has been said, gives him claim to first
circumnavigation of the globe through
the waters between the Arctic ice
pack and the northern edges of Eu-
rope and America. The first leg oi
the journey was completed in 1905
when he discovered the northwest
passage from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific around North America. The
second leg has just been compiete1
by his journey from the Atlantic 10
the Pacific around Europe and Asia.
II Amundsen reaches the nortn
pole he will have touched both enas
of the globe, for he is credited with
the discovery of the south pole.
