MOIST CANDIDATE
MAY WIN PRIMARY
Farmer Jim" Ferguson Is
Making Strong Campaign
in Texas Run.0ff.

AUSTIN, Tex. July 29.-The spec.
tacular career OF "Farmer Jim" Fer
guson Of Texas added a new chapter
In the unusual race he made for the
United States Senate, winning place
in the 'run-on" or second democratic
primary on his ticket of light wines
and beer.
Ferguson was the unknown factor
in the race and surprised even his
own supporters. He ran for governor
Of the state when unknown except as
a country banker and defeated the
political prohibition organisation. He
was impeached and taken out of the
governors office, after which he or
ganized his so-calied american
party" and ran as q candidate for gov
ernor. This year he entered the six
sided senatorial race and WAS eonsid-
cred one OF the tail enders until cleo
tion returns showed him In second
place by q long lead over Senator
Charles A. Cuibsrson, with only few
thousand votes bntween him and Earl
Mayheld, leader in the hrst primary.
Many believe that though he. kept
Culberson out of the run-off, that
plete strength in the first race that
he will be unable to endanger the
race Of Mayneld in the second pri-
mary. His friends, who took the
short-end odds of 4 very ons-sidsd
guess in both his former governor
race and his Senate race, say he is
likely to spring the third and greatest
surprise OF all in the run-off election
which will be held August 2s.

GLAD ART CENTER PLAN
IS NOT BEING OPPOSED
Berolzheiner Expected Site
Would Be Fought.

1T is not TO be expected that the idea
of a civic art and music center involv-
ing so much private property would be
unanimously favored by large groups or
property owners" said City Chamber
lain Philip BerolZheimer yesterday in
commenting on the opposition OF the
realty owners and merchants associa-
tions TO the proposed location Of the
building at Seventh avenue and Fifty
ninth street. Mr.. Berholzheimer added
he had noticed that the associations
objected only to the site and not TO
the project itself. and that there was
bound TO be more or less objection on
the part of interested property owners
no matter what location was finally
adopted
The plan of r. c. Lafferty. an archi-
tect OF 3l35 Broadway, for war memo
rial on the proposed Fifty-ninth street
site will probably be submitted to
Mayor Hylan's peace memorial com
mittee to-day.
The first objection to the location of
the art center at Seventh avenue ond
Fifty-ninth street was raised Wedne s.
day evening at a meeting OF the Colum.
bus Circle Council. II is understood
that several other realty owners and
merchants associations reore Jentine n.
terests In this section of the city will
also raise objections TO the proposed
