PACIFIC COAST IS FOR HOOVER
 AND GOV. SMITH
C. o. P. National Commit tee Man Says West
 Have Minds Made

NEW YORK, Sept. 22- That the Pacific Coast is for Herbert Hoover for the Republican nom ination and for Gov. Alfred F. Smith for the Democratic is the word brought back from a visit to the Pacific Coast by Lafayette B. Gleason. Secretary of the last Republican National Convention. He says there seems to be no other men in the minds of the people in the West, though he heard some people say that Gov Smith would not get the Cali fornia delegation. However the people of the Far West seem to have their minds made up and the Republicans are for Hoover and the Democrats for Smith. D said Gleason Tn the fifteen day was in California I did not hear McAdoo's name mentioned single time. I heard Gov. Smith talked everywhere.
 MT. Gleason, who made an in- vestigation, said he would report to the Republican National Com mittee that San Francisco has all the necessary facilities for a Convention City.
 It is admitted here that San Francisco's chances to get the Republican National Convention have receded since the withdraw al of President Coolidge When it was thought that the conven- tion would be ratification meeting it was about agreed that the convention should go there. Now that it is apparent that there will be real fighting con- vention it is believed that the powers that be will want the convention in a city that might be reached by more people at less expense. and Minneapolis. St. Louis. Detroit and Philadelphia are all contending for the honor. Sentiment here in favor of Phil-i adelphia is growing.

Wealthy Belgian Claims

Boat Lacked Proper Number

Scenes Described
LETTER is MADE PUBLIC

Rio Janeiro, Oct. 29.-(AP)-Sur-
vivors of the Principessa Mafalda
disaster today were bound for new
homelands in Brazil and the Argen-
tine, sorrowing over the loss Of some
800 companions on the trip from
Italy.
Horrors of the laundering Of the
boat were recounted and charges of
negligence, inadequate life saving
eouipment and ship in bad condi-
ton were aired.
Georges Grenade, wealthy Bel
gian resident of Buenos Aires,
made public through the correspond
ent here of La Nacion, of Buenos
Aires, a letter which he said he had
sent to the Italian royal maritime
commissioner at the latter's request.
Grenade, a first class passenger,
wrote:
Officers Negligent
The commander and officers we're
negligent in complying with their
elementary duties, for had they act
ed with energy they could have SUBJ
dued the frantic immigrants and the
work Of saving the passengers could
have been carried out normally in
five hours.
The Mafalda did not have a suffi-
) cient number of lifeboats aboard to
save all the passengers, for when
the boats were filled only 500 pas
sengers were accommodated. (The
Italian embassy has stated that
there was room in the lifeboats for
1923 persons; the Mafalda carried

"Thc engines Of the Mafalda were
not in good condition leaving Genoa,
as it had been established that the
ship was detained several times at
sea.
Tried to Cancel Sailing
"The captain had full knowledge
of the bad condition of the ship, for
it has been established through the
indiscretions Of some employees that
attempts were made to cancel the
sailing.
1.-THE commander and the first en-
gineer confirmed that this was to
be the Mafalda's last South Ameri-
can trip. She was to be sold for
Mediterranean cruises, for her condi-
( did OF permit long voyages"
Grenade charged that members of
the crew became drunk after the dis
aster occurred, that the ship was
looted by steerage passengers and
stewards, and that there was a wild
scramble for boats which could not
be halted.
A che Sup Of survivors in various
Brazilian ports accounted for 963

MANY MEN SEEK
INDIAN AP0LIS
MAYORS CHAIR
One Candidate Suggests That
Nine Judges BE Allowed to
Select Mayor

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 29.-(AP)
"A new side to the many-faced
mayoralty situation in Indianapolis
was turned uppermost today when
Joseph L. Ho9ue, city controller in
the administration of the late Lew
Shank, presented compromise plan
under which all claimants for the
mayors office would waive their
claims and agree to let the nine
judges of Marion county courts Sc
lect 4 mayor. With two active
mayors" and two more in the off
ing, including Hogue, the proposal
gained some attention.
Hogue said that the legal quallfi-
cations of any candidate for the
mayors office would not be decided
for six months or more as the case
would have to be finally decided by
the state supreme court.
Judges Ruling May Help
The muddled situation will be
partly cleared up today, however,
with ruling by Judge Joseph NJ.
Miner Of the supreme court on an
injunction suit filed by Claude f,
Negley, appointed mayor by the city
council, asking an order restraining
others from interfering with his as
supmtion of the office.
The city council, in appointing
Negley mayor, held that Duvall's
conviction barred him from holding
public office. The basis for Ira M.
Holmes claim was more complicated.
Duvall secretly mailed his resigra-
ton to the city clerk Thursday, his
wife, Mrs. Maudc f. Duvall, as city
controller, becoming mayor. She
appointed Holmes city controller and
Is minutes later also resigned,
Holmes then becoming mayor.
Despite Negley's contention in the
injunction suit that Holmes was in
terfering with him, there was no
indication of this in the mayors Of
flee yesterday. The two got along
famously, sitting side by side at the
mayors desk and making separate
appointments for the same offices.
Takes Court Action
Hogue filed quo warrantO action
in the Marion circuit court week
ago, claiming that he was mayor by
reason Of the fact that he was city
controller in the last administration.
Hogue claimed that Duvall's election
was illegal and that the Shank ad-
ministration continues in office.
Shank died several weeks ago leav-
ing Hogue the only legal claimant
to the office, the suit set forth.
Friends of Walter Mayors, Du-
wallis Democratic opponent in the
1925 election, also have claimed that
he is the rightful mayor.
