SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Sept.
2S.--Leaders Of the La Toilette in
dependent campaign for the Presi.
dency in California today held q
conference to decide whether to
place the Wisconsin Senator on the
November ballot as 4 Socialist or
let the California electorate write
in" his name, following the action
Of the California Supreme Court in
ruling that the thirteen La Toilette
electors have no place on the ballot.
The Socialist party at their state
convention in Sacramento last Tues.
day adjourney without naming any
electors with the announced inten.
ton of placing La Toilette at the
head Of their ticket should the
court decide against him.
La Toilette had not appeared on

signatures, and then the county
clerk of Marin county refused TO

COUNTY OFFICER
DEFIES PROBE
BY KHAN
J. o. East Gives His Story of
Alleged MaI-treatment
of Prisoner

II am not afraid Of an investiga.
ton by the Ku Klux Khan or any
other organization. Tonight will
be home in bed with my door un.
locked. as 1t always is; II anyone
wishes to investigate. let him come,
but will make q sieve out OF him
and they win have to pick him
up in a basket" declared James d.
East, Arlington county officer, to-
day. when Questioned CONCERNING
the report that an Investigation
would be made by the Alexandria
ku Klux Khan into the alleged ms
treatment Of T. NJ. Hughes, OF Alex
Rndria.
With his head stiIl ringing from
the report of q revolver which he
declares Hughes fired Sunday night
while 1t was pressed close to his
head, Officer East today told his
side OF the story which is purported
to be the basis Of the khan investi.
cation.
He says that Sunday night he
had stopped an automobile in which
Hughes was riding and was stand
ing on the running board OF the
car. In one hand he had a half.
gallon jar of corn liquor which was
taken from the car and in his other
hand flash light. Suddenly he
felt the impact of a revolver against
his head, the officer said, and then
heard the report.
Il was stunned for a moment and
dropping the flash-light stepped
from the running board Of the ear
and drew my own Ogun," he said.
Then Hughes fired again and I
leveled my gun at him but II would
not cock and the car sped away.
Several hours later l went to his
home in Alexandria and got him
out OF bed as we came out of the
house he threw his arms around
my neck and / hit him. The blow
caused a short cash over his left
eye. My only regret is that didn't
nave a club or, something else to
hit him with"
The officer was In Alexandria
this morning testifying in the Cor.
poration Court In q case in which
ne became involved as a member OF
the Alexandria police force and de.
clared that he was suffering from
the shock of the blow he received
and the report Of the gun so close
to his ear. His ear drums have
been badly strained he says and
