ton voted to only allow them in as
new members. No attempt was made to
modify the Socialist platform as a
basis for unity with Communists as
Debs wished. In fact some of the
extreme Right wanted a platform that
would appeal to the Labor Party and
Non Partisan League, and denounced
the Minority platform as one which
sought to placate the Communists.
During the discussion Block of New

CrOssley May Be
Democratic State
Chairman Soon

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 1s.-At
Democratic state headquarters here
it was said Ben M. Neale, state chair
man, would not be a candidate for
reelection when the new Democratic
state committee meets September ID
at Jefferson City to organize.
Wallace Crossley, formerly Of Mex
'co, Mo-, who withdrew from the gov
ernorship race shortly before the
primary, appears to be the leading
candidate for chairman.
1t is believed Crossley is satisfac-
tory to John M. Atkinson, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor. Breck-
enridge Long, senatorial nominee,
must be consulted, but it is not be-
lieved he will offer objections. The
LEGAL Organization favors Crossley.
The Republican state committee
also will meet at Jefferson City
September Ia to oragnize. w. L.
Cole, present state chairman, has an
nounced again he was a candidate for
reelection. The anti-machine ele-
ment, opposed to Cole because of the
Lowden slush fund scandal, has not
agreed on a candidate for the chair
manship.
Arthur NJ. Hyde, Republican NOM
inee for governor, who was opposed
at the primary by machine politicians
favorable to Cole, was in Kansas
City recently comforting with local
Republican leaders. Matt Foster and
Thomas J. Hedrick, who have been
aelected by the anti-boss committee
men for state committeeman, are in
full accord with Mr.. Hyde in desir-
iHg a cleanup of the state organ
ization.
Overtures have been made by the
Narks-Dickey faction for a com.
promise whereby the local machine
name one of the state committeeman
from the county. The suggestion
has been turned down, as the mair
issue on which the anti-boss Repub.
Leans won at the recent primary
was the demand hat state commit
teemen be pledged to root out the
old Rahler-C Morse machine.

The Laws Arm
Is As Long
AS In Past

NEW YORK, Aug. l3.-Three New
York detectives recently turned in a
completed job Of detecting that made
the most involved problems of Old
King Brady look as simple as finding
a gravy spot on the bosom of a hard
boiled shirt.
The story came out during the ar
raignment of Robert Gardner, who
lives on the Lower East Side, for al
legged completely in the theft of $118,-
900 worth Of g~ilt-edged securities
from Hartman and Co., March 20.
On that day the Hartman company
hired a bond messenger, handed him
$4,000 worth of papers in a small
packet and, figuratively, kissed the
money goodby.
The messenger gave his name as
Dennis Shea and referred his new
employers to another firm. The pre-
vious employers of Dennis Shea said
bhe boy was entirely trustworthy.
That was all that Inspector John
J, Cray had to work on. The prev
iOus employers of Shea located him
in the army at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, where detectives visited him,
discovered that he was not the thief.
But young Shea gave them the names
of fourteen boys in New York who
might have impersonated him.
Cray eliminated them down to Lee
roy Gardner, a youngster of 10, who
was identified as the messenger, but
who denied the theft despite ques-
tioning by expert cross-examiners,
Then Cray learned that Leroy's big
brother, Robert, was a dancing mas
ter in a Broadway place and sent De-
tective Alonzo Greer up to make his
acquaintance. Greer posed as t ICON
man" wanted in Schenectady, intimat-
ing that he was getting by in New
York by stealing motor cars.
Greer says Robert Gardner finally
asked him TO place" some bonds,
whereupon Detective James McCor-
mick entered the scenario, disguised
as a saloonkceper, who turned an oc-
casional deal in stolen securities
The disguise consisted of
several carbunces on McCormick's
neck and something on his hip that
seemed like a bung starter, hut was
really AL automatic.
They got together in Roberts
room. so the detectives related, and
the dancing man finally produced
sra, 600 worth Of the bonds, which he
was to sell for $4,000. The arrest
hspepned then.
The securities have been identified
