 It was over the manner of elect ing shop craft representatives tha. the road and the board clashed. AL though the appeal of the Pennsyl- vania system to the United States su- preme court resulted in the court up- holding the boards right to rebuke the road, the board had no power to enforce its ruling and the railroad has ignored the boards decision in the matter.
 The election, the official announce ment said, was conducted in private voting booths at all road shops in the territory, and the ballot count tabu- lated by the employees shop crafts committee at Fort Wayne. Ind. Re suits showed a 76.4 per cent ballot of the eligible employees. which was declared in the official announcement to surpass the percentage of ballots usually cast in municipal elections

 Members of the Presidents party said later that the President did not know Matte by her married name. He only remembered her as Mattlc Neil of Caledonia. Ohio, whom he had not seen for 45 years.
 While A. H. Shuler of Buckln, Kan, has been reported by newspa- Der men as having appeared before them and stated that it was his wife who was President Harding's child hood sweetheart. Mayor Walter r. Jones of Hutchinson, who was with the President when the meeting oc- cured, said tonight he could not re- call the name.
