SAYS HILLES DRIVE
OF FORD IS futile.
Neither Party Believes That Motor
Maker Will Suffer

Detroit, July f2--Henry Ford as a
candidate for the presidency In 1924
will not suffer TO any great extent
against him or the campaign OF
Charles D. Hilles. New York repub-
lican national committeeman, to
block his nomination.
This was clearly indicated by both
republican and democratic leaders of
Michigan yesterday, when the ex-
pressed themselves on the apparent
futility of the New Workers. attack.
Burt D. Cady, chairman OF the re-
publican state central committee,
cannot see how Mr., Ford would be
hampered by such campaign.
There never has been any thought
of Mr.. Ford being a candidate for the
republican nomination" he said.
President Harding can be the choice
of the republican party without oppo-
sition II he desires, and certainly
don't see how the pleas of a New
York republican can have any influ-
ence on what the democratic party
does"
Democrats OF the United States, In
convention or out, will certainly not
pay much attention to any campaign
sponsored by the republican national
committeeman from New York" said
Andrew c. Baird, democratic chair
man OF Wayne county, with some en-
phasis.
THE democratic party is controlled
by It's members in the rank and file,
not by its leaders. Here In Michigan
we are not inclined to be hidebound,
in spite of the tradition. and you may
recall that in the last national con-
vention of the party Michigan voted
for Hoover.
I'VE do not know just where to put
Mr.. Ford politically. However, he
certainly is very strong with the
people, He is opposed by everybody
except the people, and it Is quite pos
sible that the voters who select dele
gates In the various states and in
struct them as to their course in the
convention, may decide that they wish
Mr.. Ford nominated.
I'm such an event I can hardly i'm
agine the campaign OF New York's G.
o. P. committeeman turning the tide
of action In the democratic conven-
ton. 1t is so impossible that the
claim, and even the mere suggestion,
borders upon the fatty ridiculous"
