Taking Vacation Requires Great Care
In Removing Every Trace of Industry

At times. more cruel still, the re-

NEWARK. N. j., Nov. 21--The plaintiffs charges of attempted tampering with Justice on the part of Jack Dempsey and Tex Rickard has brought an end to the Jack Kearns' $333,333.33 court ac- tion against Dempsey.
 Both sides agreed to the end ing of the case by a voluntary non-suit after Judge Runyon told the defense the only alternative would be a mistrial as the result of all charges of "influence' made by Arthur Sagcr.

 The Times says the Governors supporters believe agita a { o n against the two-thirds rule will provoke ill-feeling that might pre- vent the Governors election should he be nominated as the Governors friends are convinced he will have two-thirds majority.

 GREAT CONCERN
Quiet Activity for Vice President for Presiden-

NEW YORK, Nov. 21. ~ The New York World. Democratic newspaper. today said politicians in New York State are highly mystified by the upspringing of q great deal of quiet activity on be- half of Vice-President Charles G. Dawes as a possible candidate for the Republican nomination for President.
 The campaign is without ap- parent leadership but is causing worry to those trying to bring about the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes.
 The activity is also serving to create community interest be- tween supporters of Hughes and those interested in making Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover a can didate.
 The growth of the boom for Frank o. Lowden is said to be a factor favorably to the Vice President. The feeling is gen eral that if it appears early in the convention Lowden cannot be nominated. the bulk of his strength will be shifted to Dawes.
