Talking Movie of Coolidge Used
In Sale of Stock Brings Inquiry
De Forest Device ShO,Us President Speaking and Re-
peats WOrds-InUent0r Denies Probe Will
Put His Company in Bad Light.

The Department of Justice has been
asked by the White House to investi-
gate the alleged use in a stock-selling
campaign of talking motion picture
of President Coolidge.
The, attention of the President was
called to the matter through pub
lished reports. according to the Asso-
ciated Press, and an immediate inves-
tigation was ordered.
The film is understood to be one
which shows the President delivering
an address and has an attachment re-
peating his words.
The investigation was ordered on
the basis of a story appearing yester-
day in the New York Herald Tribune
to the effect that salesmen were using
the film of the President in selling
stock in the De Forest Phone Film
Corporation. The story said that in
the last week statesmen had reported
sales of $145, 900 in the stock. James
w. Elliott was mentioned in the story
as the head of the sales force, which
was said to number 500.
President Coolidge has posed twice
for Lee De Forest, inventor of the
machine, which records the voice with
the picture. Such a picture was taken
of him first last Fall as a test for con-
sideration of the Republican national
committee for campaign purposes. It
was not used, however, and recently

FRAUD IS CHARGED
IN GERMAN VOTING
Socialists Say Hindenburg
Election Should Be Voided.
Nationalists UnWorried.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, May 7-Official protest
has been entered by the Socialists
against the validity of the election of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg as
President of Germany. The Socialists
charge many irregularities and de-
mand that the election be declared
void
This action, however, does not seem
to worry the Nationalists, who say it
will be difficult to prove that the cir
cumstances were such AS to affect the
result of the vote, in which Won Hin
denburg received a plurality of 904, ISL.
The Socialist paper, Vorwaerts, cites
as evidence, either of intimidation or
fraud, the fact that the Nationalists
after the election published a list of
localities in which every vote was re-
corded for Won Hindenburg. 1t is in
conceivable, the paper says, that in
country politically disunited all the
votes in several localities should have
gone for one man.
Coercion Is Charged.
The Socialists assert that the cleo
tors in numerous rural districts were
coerced into voting for the field mar
shall, because transparent instead of
Opaque envelopes were used, thus per-
hitting the election officials to see
which way the ballots were cast.
The protest, in the form of plea
for an injunction, alleges that undue
pressure is being exerted upon the
election commission by the fixing of
such an early date as May IL for Won
Hindenburg's inauguration, as the
commission is thus not afforded suffi-
cient time to canvass the returns.
Agitation also continues over the is
sue whether the republican flag shall
be retained or the old black, white and
red readopted. The Republican Reichs-
banner organization has refused to
participate in the Nationalist reception
for Won Hindenburg, asserting that
the affair will be made the occasion of
a monarchist demonstration.
The head Of the Reichsbanner, Herr
Hoersing, in a, manifesto, says Won
Hindenburg must and will deliver
the oath on the Republican flag,
which was. he alleges, insulted by the
Nationalists during the recent cam
paign.
Unity Move Seen.
The center Of political gravity for
the moment has shifted to Munich.
where most of the cabinet members
are attending the opening of the
Deutsche Museum. Although out
wardly this celebration seems merely
a cultural affair, there is a political
significance behind 1t as marking the
patching up of relations between the
federal authorities and Bavaria, which
relations, because of the Bavarian
separatist Vaccinations. coupled with
the Inflated Hitler-Ludendorff putsch,
have been rather strained.
Taken in connection with the re-
ported intention of Won Hindenburg
to visit Bavaria soon, there seems no
doubt that strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to forget past differences
and pull together at the work of
strengthening German unity.
