.COOL|DCE'S LEAD
GROWING STRONGER
Pennsylvania Sure; Delaware
Hopes President May Pull
du POnt Over.
by DAVID LAWRENCE.

PHILADELPHIA. October 30
Pennsylvania and Delaware show
every sign of giving Calvin Coolidge
substantial majorities, notwithstand-
ing the effort of the La Toilette peo-
pie to win the labor vote in both
States
The Republican managers are talk
ing of a record majority, the largest
of any Republican State in the Union,
but they admit their difficulty in
arousing interest in one-sided cam
paign. The .get-out-the-vote move
ment is proceeding so well that the
chances are Pennsylvania will poll an
unusually large total.
The new voters will more than
overcome the losses to La Toilette,
for it appears that the regular Re-
publicans have been the Stay-at-
homes in Pennsylvania. 1t takes time
and money and organization to get
out the vote, and the Republicans
have all three in Pennsylvania.
Drive for House Seats.
rected merely at getting a large vote
for the sake of making a record. 1t
has back of it distinct drive for
congressional seats. There are six
Democratic districts which the Re-
publicans hope to capture. Their
chances depend entirely on what the
La Toilette voters do, for here, as
elsewhere in congressional cam
paigns the Democratic nominees
have openly sought La Toilette sup
port and in many cases Endorsements
have not been difficult to get.
To pick up six seats in Pennsylva-
MIA would be material gain for the
Republican administration, as Penn
sylvania Republicans are usually
conservatives who vote with the ad-
ministration. The outcome is not
easy to forecast, however. because
the labor vote in many districts is
uncertain. The miners particularly
have everybody guessing, for while
most of their leaders have indorsed
La Toilette, John Lewis president of
the United Mine Workers, is sup
porting President Coolidge, and here
and there are some who are following

the leadership of former Secretary
William B. Wilson of the Department
of Labor, the champion of the Davis
cause.
Gov. Pinchot has concerned himself
for the most part with his own situa-
ton, hoping to get a legislature that
will assist him in carrying out his
program. He came out unequivocally
for the Republican national ticket at
the meeting for Dawes held recently,
and he has since been working with
the national organization in the hope
of securing the election of Republi-
cans throughout the State.
Delaware Case MuddIcd.
Just across the line in Delaware is
another interesting situation, for,
while Delaware's electoral vote seems
certain to be cast for Coolidge, the
senatorial race is by no means a GER
tainty for the Republicans. Coleman
du Pont. who won the Republican
nomination after a hard struggle in
the primaries, has not succeeded in
erasing all the friction inside the
party-in fact, the Democratic hopes
of electing James Tunnel are based
largely on the factional quarrels pro-
voked by the primary contest of du
Pont. The La Toilette groups are
also out of tune with each other, the
Socialists the Single-Taxers and the
out-and-out La Toilette men being
agreed on the presidential race but
not in unison on the senatorial con-
test.
AS usual, the traditional troubles of
the du Pont family are mixed up in
the situation. One wing is backing
Gen. du Pont, while some of the
cousins are said to be the main sup
port of Tunnel. 1t would not be sur
prising to see a Democratic United
States Senator from Delaware, though
this will not occur if the Coolidge
majority takes on the proportions of
a landslide. That is du Points princi-
pal hope. In the last few days there

Trouble is brewing on the Hilltop,

E HELD
 FUR GRAND JURY
 ATARRAIGNNENT
Comedian Declares He Only Defended Self
 From Girls Attacks
By LYLE c. WILSON


 (By Leased Wire to The Age.Herald.
 NEW YORK, June 11.-Frank Tin. ney's account of the cruelties and in. dignities he claimed to have suffered at the hands of Imogene Wilson, failed to convince Judge Devine in the West Side court, and the famous Broadway blackface funny man is now held under $2,6O0 bond for grand jury action on Imogene's charge of felionous assault.
 Tinney and Bobby Gray, his negro valet, told the court that Imogene had on various occasions lambasted the comedian with her fists. suitcase, handy articles of furniture and had even threatened to carve him with butcher knife.
 Imogene landed the blow with suit case on the night of~May 19, Arthur O'Brien told the court in cOFroboratiOn of Gray's testimony.
 l O'Brien, ImOgene and Tinney left the Music Box Theater, where the come dian was playing, O'Brien testified, and when they reached the railway sta tion Imogene objected to Tinney's de- termination to 90 home.
 "She slammed Frank with a suitcase, tore his suit open, ripped off his neck tie and hit him on the nose 50 hard it bled," Gray testified concerning the ensuing scrap.
 Tinney compromised with Miss Will sons desire to take him to her apart ment and allowed her to accompany him to his Long Island home.
 Mrs. Tinney just turned up her nose at 1mogene," Gray said, "and wouldn't let us in"
 It was then that Miss Wilson is al- legged to have produced butcher knife and threatened to stab Tinney.
 Imogene was in court wearing a tasteful blue suit edged with white braid, black hat, gray silk hose and black pumps.
 When Tinney told the judge the fol- lies beauty was a regular wildcat" in her battles and that she swore, kicked and clawed with a fine disregard for all good bar-room fighting rules, ImO- gene heaved sigh and asked nearby reporters: Isn't that awlful?"
 Tinney, accompanied by plain, S0- year-old Ma Tinney, whose contempt uOus treatment of Imogene put the CO., median in danger, of the chorus girls knife, was in court looking neat but worried? as valet and O'Brien de- scribed Miss Wilson's battle tactics and what they did to Frank.
 "Why, Judge" Tinney earnestly told the court, after his counsel had announced that the 175-pound comedian would plead self-defense against the lithesome Imogene, T never raised my hand against her except to keep off her blows"
 While Miss Wilson gaEed at him, still pale from the effect of the beating she says he gave her in her apartment re- gently, Tinney denied all her, charges and stuck to the plea of self-defense. '''I never struck her in my life," he declared.
 T was raised in one of those fami- lies where they respect women. If I lifted my hands it was only in self. defense"
