CINCINNATI WILL
 HIRE A MANAGER
This Plan of Municipal Govt.
 Is Adopted

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6.-The over throw of the regime of R. K. Hynic- ka over the city of Cincinnati Twas seen here yesterday in the passage, by vote of more tltra two to one, of the city charter amendment pro- viding for the city manager type of government with council of nine members elected by proportional representation,
 Although the voters Of Cincinnati repudiated tic republican city ad- ministration by putting over the amendment and defeating a special tax levy of 2.25 mills for city pur- poses proposed by the administra- tion, republican county officials were swept into office by an overwhelm- ing majority.
 The defeat Of the tax levy has precipitated a financial crisis for Cincinnati as the tax revenue of the city in 1925 will not be sufficient 10 meet the city's operating expenses. A mass meeting of citizens has been called by the Chamber of Commerce for Wednesday night to evolve a plan for the citys relief.
 Although Hyniclsa. former repub- lican national committeeman from Ohio. refused to comment today upon the passage of the city mana ger amendment the citizens charter committee. composed of Henry Bentley Guy w. Mallon and Murray seasongood, predicted today that the passage of the amendment would lift Cincinnati from the bondage of boss rule.
 The city manager, who will take office on January 1, 1926. will be appointed by the council. The mem- bership of the council, it Is believed, will probably be five republicans and four democrats. although the ballots on which they will be elected will bear no party designations.
 Cincinnati is the second largest city in the United States to adopt the city manager plan of government. Cleveland being the largest.

Those close to him declare 1t was his opposition that caused him to consent to use his name and add that the prospect of a fight made him want the nomination.
 It Is the opinion of these friends that promise of a fight always has been and always will be Mir. Dawes chief inventive.
 The presidency. doesn't offer much of the way of fight and that Is why that office, friends assert, did not and does not appeal directly to him as an official position.
 The feeling of MT. Dawes is not along his but is shared by the other members of hls family to certain extent. When tho tide of votes for the republican national ticket set in Tuesday night, Mrs. Dawes, turned to a friend in answer to a question as to going to Washington and said:
 Washington won't bee entirely strange for we have lived there. But this is home and we have so many friends hero we shall regret to leave 1t only for a time"

 As for Dana, the twelve year old adopted son, he accepts it as the average boy accepts a change--just part of the days life, although he admits he doesn't like the idea of having to leave Evanstown. If Mir. Dawes has given any thought for what he will do after his four year term as vice president, he hasn't disclosed it to his most in- innate associates. Several times dur ing his campaign tour, the presiden- tial nomination in 192S,was men, toned in his presence, but always he pretended not to have heard, or said nothing and maintained an un- changed expression.

DAWES GETS OFFICE
 HE DIDN'T SEEK
Would Not Have Accepted Office
 Six Months Ago
LIZ Tho Assoeiat.d Pre.s.


 Chicago, Nov. 6.-Charles c. Dawes on next March { will as- sume an office which he originally did not seek and which if offered him six months ago, he almost cer- tainly would have declined.
 This statement was made today by some of those closest to the vice president-elect and by those who know the inside story of how the banker soldier, businessman, philanthropist and economist has come to the place where after next March { he will be second only to the presidency.
 Six months ago Mir. Dawes re- turned from Europe after serving as head of the experts committee or the separations commission, which had worked out plan for the eco- homie rehabilitation of Europe. It was his third period of public serv- ice after having been comptroller of the currency under President Mckinley and director of the budget under President Harding.
 Mir. Dawes accordingly set about arranging his affairs so as to spend the rest of his life as a private citi- zen, devotng his time to his bank ing and business interests and to the life of wealthy man who loves music. art and books and whose name is connected with a number of charitable or ar-charitable en- terprises.
 Then the republican national convention came along and got it. self Into a snarl over the selection of a running mate for President Coolidge. Mr. Dawes was down at Marietta, Ohio. attending a reunion of his college class and little inter- ested In the events at Cleveland. Conferences among party leaders at the convention having produced no unanimity of opinion as to the vice presidential nominee, the conven- ton took things into its own hands and nominated Governor Frank o. Lowden, Of Illinois. Mr. 'Iowdcn promptly declined the honor and the name of Dawes already before tho convention with the sup port of New Jersey and Nebraska was brought forward.
 Some doubt existed as whether MT. Dawes would take the romina ton and some opposition arose to his selection.

Hunters Are Asked Not
 To Kill Rufed Grouse

Hartford, Nov. 6.--In an effort to learn the reason for the scarcity of ruffed grouse in the state, supt J. w. Tttcomh, of the state board Of fisheries and game has requested hunters to refrain from hunting them in order to save survivors for next season and if any are found diseased or dead from causes other than shooting that the diseased parts be sent to the surerintendent's office. Tn some instances the failure of hunters to find many of the birds has been attributed to the difficulty of travelling in the covers without making q great deal of noise, be- cause Of the dry season. If after copioUs rain the birds again appear, Sup't Titcomh says, his appeal may be entirely dlsrcgarded.
