OSLO, April 24.-The steamer Nina,
owned by the Northern Exploration Co.
and at present at Honningsvaag, Fin
mark. Norway. has received a tele-
graphic order to proceed as near Green
Harbor. Spitzbergen. as possible to take
Capt. George H. wilkins and Lieut..
Carl B. Eielson and their airplane TO
Norway
The Nina left today and may reach
the mouth of Ice Fjord about Saturday.
The flyers are expected to reach from
soc, Norway, early next week.
Work of repairing the underpart OF
the airplane in which Capt wilkins and
Eielson few across hitherto unexplored
polar wastes was under way today at
Green Harbor.
Anxious to Leave.
Capt. wilkins was understood TO be
anxious 10 leave for Norway by steamer,
but whether the work of repairing the
plane indicated that the men would at
tempt 10 fiy over the ice which blocks
their path to Europe was not known.
Capt wilkins. writing his record Of the
fight. was silent and so was Eielson as
he labored on the plane.
II did not seem possible that they
would f1y from Green Harbor, however,
since the planes fuel was stated TO have
been almost exhausted in the long flight
from Point Barrow, Alaska.
Must Travel by Sled.
The explorers. If they embark by boat
from Kings Bay. must travel there at
least 80 miles by dog sled. They may
decide TO wait until the ice is cleared
from Ice Fjord. on which Green Har-
Dor is situated, as this would enable
them to ship the plane more easily.
In the meantime. they are living at
the radio station. which is well stocked
with food, and spending much of their
time indoors resting.

WATCH
OHIO PRIMARIES
Fight on Hoover Candidacy
Holds Principal Interest as
Three States Vote.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With presidential primaries on to-
days political calendar in three States
and the Territory of Alaska. the fight
in Ohio for delegates to the Republican
convention held chief interest. largely
because Of its bearing on Herbert
Hoover's candidacy Due to a lack Of
contests. the balloting- in Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts attracted less atten-
ton.
In Ohio one slate of 81 delegates is
pledged to the Commerce Secretary:
the other, since the death Of Senator
Willis. has shown leanings toward half
a dozen Republican presidential posSi-
bilities. including Lowden and Dawes.
Pomerene Is Favored.
The Democratic organization Of 48
delegates in Ohio is committed TO
former Senator Atlee Pomerene for first
choice. II had opposition in only two
districts.
Pennsylvania will have uninstructed
delegations OF 70 delegates at Kansas
City and rs at Houston, while the Re-
publican delegates from Massachusetts
will number 80 and the Democrats 36.
Only few contests were TO be settled
today at the polls in either State.
Although AiaSkans will have no vote
for President In November. the Republi-
cans in the Territory resorted to the
primary system to select their two
delegates TO Kansas City. with the
Democrats going through the formality
Of ratifying a slate OF six delegates
pledged TO support Gov. Smith.
Involved in the struggles which
came to a showdown today Is a fight
for control of the Republican slate or
ganization, with Hoover supporters
aiming TO oust leaders who have been
active in opposition to the Commerce
Secretary.
Ohio Democrats United.
In contrast with the strife in the
Republican camp. Ohio Democrats
have had little friction. The organi-
zation slate of 40 delegates to the
Houston convention. being voted on to-
day. is committed to support OF former
Senator Atlee Pumerene at the outset
Of balloting. No names are listed on
the Democratic presidential ballot,
while on the Republican are the names
OF Hoover. Willis and Olin j. Ross. a
Columbus lawyer,
Little interest has been taken In
the preferential balloting because Its
result will not be binding on the Re
publican delegates,
In fact. despite the interparty war
fare centering around Hoover'S candi-
dacy, there has been considerable
apathy on the part OF the voters. and
a rather light vote today, even among
Republicans. had been forecast
Hoover supporters and foes alike
were confident of capturing majority
OF the delegates. The Commerce Sec
retary was expected to poll his heaviest
vote in the larger cities. such as Cleve-
land, Cincinnati and Toledo. while OPP
position 10 him appeared most pro-
nounced In the rural sections.
