.LITTLETON'S WILL
SET ASIDE BY JURY
VERDICT is IN FAVOR OF SON
OF DECEASED. LITIGANTS
ARE DAWSON MEN.

William Littleton, of Dawson, in his
effort to break the will OF his father,
the late Ed Littleton, of Americas,
won a verdict in Sumter superior
court Friday. The deceased who was
well-known in Dawson, left the bulk
OF his estate to DR.. J. G.. Dean, OF
Dawson. who married a daughter Of
Mr.. Little in his early manhood, and
it was to set aside this will that Mr.
William Littleton resorted to the
courts The Americas Times Record
err gives this account of the trial:
"A jury in the Littleton will case
in the Sumter county superior court
after celebrating SIX hours rendered a
verdict setting aside the original will
and all its codciles. The case went
to the jury at 3:45 Friday, and it was
10 o'clock before an agreement was
reached
The verdict rendered is the same
reached by Judge Cobb, in ordinary's
court, who set aside the will when it
came up for probation.
William Littleton objected to the
probating of the will on the ground
that his father. Ed Littleton, was not
mentally capable of making will
prior to his death Judge Cobb sus-
tanned his objections and set aside the
will.
During the trial in the superior
court it was brought out from testi-
monies by nurses and attendants Of
Ed Littleton, when he was confined
in a hospital where he spent the last
years OF his life, that he was a victim
OF senile dementia in progressive
stage
DIR Dean, through his attorneys,
has appealed the case to the higher
courts and a hearing has been set by
Judge Greer for February, when it
will be determined whether or not the
attorneys for DR.. Dean will be granted
an appeal to the state supreme court
OF Georgia.
The contested will embodies $10-
900 worth of Bib Manufacturing
stock beside some valuable real estate.
Representing William Littleton,
the confession OF the WILL was Judge
J. A. Hixon, Henry Clay and Jack
G. Holtz. Col w. w. Dykes and
Judge NJ. c. Edwards of Dawson,
were attorneys for DR.. J. G.. Dean,
propounder and beneficiary OF the will.
"A formal motion was filed this
morning with the clerk OF court for
a new trial by Attorneys Dykes and
Edwards"

HELENA. Mont, April 26.-It will
be Coolidge VS.. McAdoo in the Mon
tana primary of May 81 and as
neither is opposed the contest will
lack interest.
The last day for filings has passed.
Shortly before the zero hour United
States Senator Robert NJ La Toilette,
who had been put forward by the
Farmer-Labor party for President.
withdrew his name Lynn J. Frazier,
named by the same party for Vice
President, permitted his name to re-
main
The primary filings leave the Re
publicans in the position Of strategic
advantage, as everybody out this way
considers the nomination of Mr..
the party is able to get behind him
and disregard the primary entirely.
On the other hand, few McAdoo men
appear to think their candidate will
get through the convention.
Many believe Homer Cummings
will be the nominee. There is still
talk Of Senator Ralston of Indiana
as the dark horse.
Mr.. McAdoo came through the state
at the tail of last week, speaking
at Miles City and at Butte. He was
enthusiastically received.
UP to two weeks ago Republicans
were not so confident of the nomi-
nation of the President. However,
as the days have passed and state
after state has swung to him there
is no reason to doubt his success in
the convention. He is still deeply ad-
mired in both parties, but so much
cannot be said of some of those who
surround him in power in the party.

OMAHA, Neb., April 26.-Coolidge
Republicans appeared safely In charge
Of the organization of the party for
the campaign as a result Of the county
conventions held over Nebraska this
week. State conventions in all parties
will be held May 1. In Douglas
county, in which Omaha is situated,
the Coolidge men won a decisive vic
tory over a group in which friends of
Senator r. B. Howell sought to gain
local control
All groups in the Democratic party
expect to meet in harmony in the
state gathering. Gov. Bryan is a
delegate to the convention, and for
mer Senator Hitchcock will be chair
man.
A legal fight is promised between
wings Of the Progressive party for
right to use the name. The real
question is whether the faction that
leans toward the third party ideas
can use the name. Democratic candi-
dates have effected a fusion with the
Progressive party of Nebraska which
the faction that hopes to join the
Farm Labor group hopes to overturn.

BOSTON, April 26--It Is a strange
fact, in connection with the Massa-
chusetts pramries to be held next
Tuesday, that the only opponent Of
President Coolidge among the list of
candidates as delegates to the Re
publican national convention, is
Dwight 3. MacCormick Of Westfield,
who lives not more than twenty miles
from Northampton. where President
Coolidge has lived ever since he was
graduated from Amherst College.
Mr.. MacCormack is running pledged
to Hiram Johnson and the only in
terest in lis candidacy among the
Republican leaders is the size of his
vote. Nobody hears of any Johnson
sentiment throughout the state.
There has been no primary enthu-
siasm owing to AN absence of real
contests. The matter has been cut
and dried from the start. The con-
tests have not attracted attention
because the candidates are all Cool
idge men.
No such unanimity exists among
the Democrats Since the McAdoo
disclosures in the Teapot Dome in
quiry there is no Democratic favorite
for President What sentiment there
is on the surface is for Gov. Smith

would have been but for the develop

Neither Mr.. McAdoo nor any one

delegates as against James VI. Cox.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, April 90
Overwhelming defeat for Senator
Hiram Johnson's contest for the Re-
publican presidential nomination by
states Of the middle west and east
has served only to change arguments
made in behalf of his candidacy in
California and, within the last few
days, has rather intensified than di-
minished the activities of his ad-
herents.
Abandoning as obviously useless
further campaigning on the assump-
| tion that Mr.. Johnson might obtain
| the nomination, his managers here
are now appealing to California to
send Johnson delegation TO CleVe-
| land. in order that the senator may
assert his opinions when the Repub-
| lican platform is constructed.
According to apparently authorita-
| tive sources, il is the plan of Mr..
Johnson's managers in this state to
have the senator appointed, in the
event of a Johnson success May 6,
as an alternate for one of the Cali
fornia delegates. and thus enable him
to appear either in convention or in
committee as a duly elected repre-
sentative Of his home state.

| fact that this ambitious program has
been made impossible, he is said still
| to desire an opportunity to be heard

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 26.-Outside of
contests in three Of the six con-
gressional districts the state primary
on May is expected to be rather a
tame affair, with President Coolidge
the only statewide candidate in the
field. The withdrawal Of the name
of the President from the primary
list was never even seriously con-
sidered by his principal advisers in
the state. Senator o. E. Weller, for
rer Senator William z. Jackson and
Galen L. TAFT, chairman of the state
central committee, for contrary to
published statements, a state wide
primary was inevitable even had he
withdrawn as presidential candi-
date.
With fights IN the second, fifth and
sixth congressional districts and a
multiplicity of candidates for dele
gates to the two national conven-
tions, contests would be held in at
least forty-fve of the twenty-eight
city wards and twenty-three counties
of the state, making the primary
practically state wide even had Presi-
dent Coolidge withdrawn, with no
chance for saving either $4,000 or
100000 for the state as had been
said
The hottest fight will be waged in
the sixth district, which is composed
of Montgomery, Frederick, Washing
ton, Garrett and Allegheny counties,
in which the democrats have four
candidates in the field for the nomi-
nation in Andrew J. Cummings of
Montgomery, David G. Winebrenner
of Washington, Frank Mish of Fred
erick and Thomas w. Koon of Ale
gheny. While Cummings is popular
in the district and has big follow
ing in his home county. politicians

is a nephew of United States Senator
William c. Bruce, stands the best

Special Dispa tch to The Star.


WILMINGTON, Del, April 26.-The
show of strength made by Coleman
du Pont in the state convention this
week has led to talk in all three coun-
ties of having him run for United
States senator to succeed Senator L.
It Ball. Gen. du Pont, besides captur-
ing all the delegates to the national
convention in Cleveland. has a work
.ng majority in the new state COM
Enittee Nothing like the comeback
staged by him has been known in
Delaware political history.
Last fall, much to the surprise of
most of the Republicans in the state,
he was defeated for reelection by
Thomas f. Bayard.
\ few days ago Mr.. du Pont told
friends that he could not be dragged
INTO the senatorship fight and that
he did not want TO go to the Senate.
Of course, the senatorship was not
the issue at this time. and when the
primary is held in August to elect
delegates to the convention which
dominates a United States senator
and a state ticket the result may be
different. If Gen. du Pont should de-
cJde to run the fact that he has the
election machinery would be in his
favor. c. E. GRAY.
