Little Rock, April 8.-Leaving but little unfinished business which it's Executive Committee has been given full power to act, the Republican State Central Committee, called to- gether for the purpose of making recommendation for presidential appointments, came to a close at 5 o'clock last night at the end of it's second day of work in American Legion Hall, Fourth and Main streets.
 Eighteen candidates for federal appointments were endorsed during yesterdays session, four county party organizations were recognized, and a motion was adopted whereby H. L. Remmel, state chairman, was empowered to make recommenda- tions in appointments for such fourth-class postmasterships which Postmaster General Hays, may re- fer to the state party organization.
 Most important among the en- postmaster of Pine Bluff and for postmaster of Texarkana. Henry Bring1nan was endorsed for Pine Bluff postmastership; E. E. Hud- speth for the Texarkana position. No recommendation was made for appointment to this office in Helena. Appointments for Phillips county which includes Helena, were re- ferred to the Executive Committee.
 Both the Pine Bluff and Texar- kama recommendation were made during the afternoon. In the Pine Bluff contest Henry Bringman de- feated Mrs. A. W. Troupe, presi- dent of the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs, and Capt. R. NJ. Galbraith. Because of illness of member of his family, Capt. Galbraith was unable to be present at the committee meeting, but both Mir. Bringman and Mrs. Troupe presented their claims.
 Although Mrs. Troupe was re- ceived enthusiastically, the enthu- siasm faded when balloting was be- gun, and MT. Bringman, who had the endorsement of the Jefferson County Republican Committee, won out. Mrs. Troupe again addressed the meeting after Mir Bringman had been endorsed, congratulated him, and said that she was in poli- tics to stay, and that future meet ings would see her in attendance.
 In the Texarkana contest, E. E.. Hudspeth, United Commissioner of Texarkana, received the unanimous endorsement of the state commit tee. He was opposed by J. G.. Bickley, chairman of the Miller County Republican Committee.
 Counties in which the Republican central committees were ordered re- organized were: Saline, Woodruff, Conway and Clark. Wallace Town to call convention to perfect a new party organization for Saline county; John w. White of Pope county, to act for Conway county E. L. Blackman of Augusta and E.. L. Hamilton, of McCrory, for Wood ruff. county, and Judge Andrew |. Roland, former candidate for gov ernor, for Clark county.
 The fight over Clark county's or ganization occupied the greater part of the morning session, and threat ened to mar the smoothness with which the Republican machine was functioning as before.
 Because of the threatened trouble in Clark county party politics no recommendations were made for the postmasterships of Philadelphia, Amity and Gurdon. Candidates for the Philadelphia postoffice position are: J. J. Kress, former mayor of Philadelphia; Leon Tennyson and J. c. Russell, Jr.
