! weather caused further postpone
 ments of the contem plated flights.
 Indications were that none of the { contenders would attempt hop-off
 before Thursday and by that time it was thought Byrd will have com
 pleted his load tests and be ready for the start to Paris.
 Dissension among the ranks of the Bcllanca entry has been brewing for several days. The original contract | between Bertaud and Clarence i Chamberlin. the pilot. and the Columbia Aircraft corporation, own- CTS of the plane, provided that the prize money, estimated at s100,o00 be divided equally between the fliers and the company and that the air men agree to remain in the employ
 of the company one year after the Paris flight should it prove success ' full.
 Terms Not Satisfactory Friends Of the fliers voiced ob- 1 iections to the proposed division of
 the prize money and the aviatorS
 themselves insisted some financial
 arrangement be made for their wives. Bertaud also objected to the one year contract clause as he is on
 leave from the mail service, Cham berlin is regularly employed by the Columbia company.
 During a conference Sunday, an oral agreement was reached under which the tliers were to receive the full prize money. their wives were to be given financial protection and the
 one year contract was to be waived. New Clause Inserted : This oral agreement was placed in writing, but Mutt charged a par agraph had been inserted reserving
 to Levine the rights to withdraw from the flight project or to re- move one or both of the fliers, with compensation of four weeks ex- penses The contract was not sign i ed. Mutt announced he was pre-
 pared to start suit to compel carry 1 ing out of the terms of the alleged oral agreement.
 , Another point of dispute was the radio equipment the plane should
 carry. After the probably disastrous ! Nungesser flight a powerful radio
 set was installed on the Columbia.
 Levine. however, declared the
 weight of the radio generator inn , paired the efficiency of the plane and over the protests of Bertaud it was removed. A smaller emergency
 set was installed. G. NJ. Bellanca. , designer of the plane. supported Le- ! vine in the controversy. Course Also Changed Bertaud also was reported dis pleased with contemplated change | of course from the steamship lane to the Great Circle route to be followed by Lindbergh and Byrd. Chamberlin. however. agreed with Bellanca on the advisability of such a change.
 i Stiff. raw winds kept the three i planes in their Long Island hangars yesterday. Byrd was forced to
 abandon his test flights, designed to try a 1o,000 pound load, with the
 craft.
 ! Acosta is Selected The Polar flier's pilot for the flight has been announced as Bert Acosta, who recently made the worlds en- { durance flight record of more than , hours in the Bellanca plane with Chamberlin.

He is OF the opinion, however, that work,

To declaim against the ingratitude of men

French obligations, he declared, should be

has made on behalf of the world, nor-to re-

tered the White House if he were
elected President Secretary Hoover
is the baby of the big four" as a mat
ter of fact. He is SO years old and
would be 81 at the time he took oath
of office as President in 1929.
Vice President Dawes is regarded in
many quarters as the probable residu.
ary legatee of the Lowden strength il
1t becomes apparent that Mr.. Lowden
cannot be nominated First. he. too,
is from Illinois. Second, he shas IA
vored the McNary- Haugen bill in
principle, and third. he is as acceptable
TO business interests of the East as
is the son-in-law Of the late president
of the Pullman Car Co. While the
Vice President has said nothing. it q.
generally has been expected that
he will let Mr.. Lowden make the
running for delegates in many OF the
States. hoping to inherit them later.
The Vice President is popular in the
country. He has had coIorful career
in an office that is rather drab He
has a war record and is credited with
the Dawes plan" for handling the
German reparations. He would be
strong in the States where many
voters OF German extraction are found,s,
1t is said.
The Vice President has a lucky flair.
Things have had a way of working
out we'll for him in the past. Luck isS
as much of an asset in politics as it

of the highest offices in the land. But !.
he cannot now. at least. be considered
one Of the leading contenders for the

perhaps. but there his wetness will !;

The Great G. 0. p. Handicap of 1923
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page)
They are not sure whom they will
have to fight, and they see an issue
slipping away from them. But they
put forward vigorous claims for their
candidate, claims that under scrutiny
do not stand up very well. For exam
pie. they lay claim to 244 votes in the
next convention from the following Il
so-called farm States: Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa. Kansas. Nebraska,
Missouri, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana. Utah, Washington
and Oregon. The La Folletteites in
Wisconsin care no more for Lowden
than they do for Coolidge The prob
abilities are the Wisconsin delegation
will go to the convention uninstructed
and will be opposed to Lowden. Already
there is a movement on foot in Kansas
to send a delegation to the convention
for Senator Charles Curtis, if not for
Senator Arthur Capper. Nebraska may
swing to Norris. it's favorite son. and
the Dakotas. while they like the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill. are not inclined to
regard Mr.. Lowden as the progressive
type.
Missouri sent delegation to the
Republican national convention in 1920
for Mr.. Lowden, and thereby hangs a
tale. The injudiciOus. to say the
least, expenditure of money by some
of the politicians in Missouri to obtain
Lowden delegates came to light in a
Senate investigation. That had more
to do with the defeat of Mr.. Lowden
for the nomination in 1920 than any
other single factor. While there has
been no charge against Mr.. Lowden
personally in connection with the
alleged buying of delegates in Missouri.
Republican leaders here regard the
old story as a great handicap to Mr..
Lowden now. The coming fight in
the Senate over the seating of Senator
elect Frank l.. Smith of Illinois,
against whom charges have been made
by the Reed slush fund committee.
and over the seating of SenatOr-elect
William S. Ware OF Pennsylvania will
focus attention particularly on cor
ruption in politics and will serve to
revive the stories of 1920. Indeed.
Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, chair
man of the Senate committee. has
dtI Cduy All oPCCNfiCS ANANAANA ~
the Lowden delegate incident in
Missouri.
The East is not likely to cotton to
Mr.. Lowden because he favors the
principles of the McNary-Haugen bill.
The reverse may be expected. And
the East will have a dominating voice
in the next national convention. Low
den had many delegates in 1920 from
the South. but. as already has been
indicated. he will have to divide these
next year with Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Hughes. Nor will Mr.. Lowden have
plain sailing In Illinois, his own State.
where Gov. Len Small and Mayor
William Hale Thompson have no love
for him. He will be lucky. it is said.
IL he gets half the State delegation to
the convention.
Lowden Is the oldest Of the Repub-
licans who have been prominently
for the nomination-more
than q year older than Mr.. Hughes.

u. S. Typewriters Gain
In Far East Markets

Despite active efforts on the part of
British manufacturers, American type
writer's are gaining increasing favor in
the Far Eastern markets. More than
three-fourths of the imports of type
writer's of the Straits Settlement and
British Malaga now are supplied by
America, a total of / 1867 machines be-
ing shipped by the United States in
1926.
AS there is no import duty on such
machines, they sell at approximately
the same price, plus freight, as in the
United States. Rebuilt machines rarely
are bought, and dealers in order to
close a deal are said often to allow
$50 In Straits currency on an old ma
chine and later dispose of it to Sec
ond-hand dealer for from SIS to $40.
More than one-third of the sales are
portables, chiefly used on steamer
