SUITS 5 YEARS OLD
HEARD HERE TODAY
Ex-Governor Holcomb Sitting as
Superior Court Committee

Two civil actions which had their
beginning almost eight years ago
were heard today in the city court
room before State Referee Marcus
Holcomb, acting as a committee of
the superior court to hear the evil
dence In the cases. The $4,000 ac-
ton of Albert NJ. Rutherford, Inc.
mason contractor against Abraham
Gorback ct al. and the $4,000 ac-
ton of Albert M. Rutherford against
Abraham Gorback were the cases
occupying the court.
The first suit was based on
claim for money alleged due the
company from Gorback. for work
done on several houses in 1919. The
section action was brought by Ruth
erford who seeks title to house on
property in Belvidere developed by
Gorback, or damages for money ex-
pended on the house.
In the first action B. Stein. build
err. Frank Ginsburg and E. O. Kill
bourne were cited in, but attorneys
for Stein and Ginsburg filed petit
tons opposing that move. The ref
cree stated that he could act only
on the facts submitted since he was
merely hearing the evidence.
The plaintiffs were represented by
NJ A. Sexton, while Gorback had
William +. Mangan as his counsel.
Alfred Levitt represented Ginsburg
and Donald Gaffney, Stein.
The case was originally brought
through klett & Alling. but it never
came to trial in superior court. Last
May an extension until September
was granted by the superior court,
shortly after Mr.. Sexton came into
the case 1t was provided that the
case would be thrown out If 1t were
not disposed of before September l.
1t will be the duty of Referee Hol-
comb to hear the evidence and sub
nit a report to the superior court
which will eithax. accept said re-
port or throw out the case.

MAY ASK COOLIDGE
SUCCESSORS name
Hint Financial Delegate Seeking
Presidents Selection

Rapid City, s. D.. Aug. 10 (UP)-
Political and financial problems of
the republican party were brought
before President Coolidge today
with the scheduled arrival of
Dwight Morrow. Influential repre-
sentative of New York financial dis
trict and member Of the firm of J.
T. Morgan and Co.
Morrow, who is credited by repub-
lican politicians with some of the
success of the 1924 campaign, U.s.
ually visits Mr.. Coolidge at his sum-
mer home, but especial significance
was foreseen this year because of
Mr.. Coolidges announcement re-
Gently that he does not choose to be
a candidate in 1928.
Whatever reaction Morrow may
bring from the east concerning Mr..
Cooldge's statement is eagerly
awaited by political observers fol-
lowing the president. Morrow has
visited Mr., Coolidge as much as any
man outside of congress since the
president assumed office.
IHeTe is q suggestion that Nor
row might desire to converse with
the president regarding who might
possibly be his successor to the re-
publican throne. The name of
Charles e. Hughes, republican can.
ddate in 1916 is prominently men
toned but it is known that he would
not accept the post even if offered
because he does not desire to en-
counter the strain Of a heavy cam
paign and the presidency for four
years.
It is thought here that Secretary
of Commerce Hoover would be an
equal choice with Hughes in the
East. Hoover has the confidence of
many business men throughout the
country. No immediate announce
ment as to the future intentions of
either Mr.. Coolidge or republican
financiers is expected as result of
Morrow's visit, however. II is ex-
pected here that affairs as they exist
now may be permitted to work
themselves out.

difficult the running down OF each
