FRENCH COMES OUT ACAINST
 coy. H ARTLEY
COP. Candidate for Gov ernor Will Support Scott
 Bullitt, Democrat

SEATTLE, Sept. 15. State Senator D. l.. French. defeated candidate for the Republican Gu bernatorial nomination, today re- pudiated the candidacy of Gov. Roland H. Hartley, who was re- nominated in the Republican pri- mary election. Senator French assailed the personal character, political record and methods, of Gov. Hartley.
 He asserted that many Repub- licans who voted for Gov. Hartley in the primary will not vote for him in the election and. he said, 'I believe those who supported re will never support Hartley for Governor. Hartley has not yet enorsed the Presidential can didacy of Herbert Hoover. He has attempted to make the Republi- can Party of the State of Wash ington Hartley Party"
 French charged Gov. Hartley with using State funds for the purpose of building up political machine.
 Senator French will support A. Scott Buillitt, Democrat, for Gov ernor.

TIMES STATES ITS
 POSITION ON HARTLEY

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 1S.- The Seattle Times, Republican newspaper, today announced it's reasons for supporting A. Scott Bullitt, Democrat, for the Cover norship. It's statement read, in part:
 Never before have Republi- cans in Washington been asked to accept a candidate more dis tasteful to the party as a whole than Roland Hartley. In no other case has the doctrine of party loyalty and regularity been harder to swallow. There has been no instance where a candi- date deserved less at the hands of his party's rank and file. Thoughtful citizens look back over four years of Hartley's in cumbency with impatienece and disgust. His profitless pickering, his squabbling over non essen tials, his unjust accusations of other elective State officers and pretended reforms which never materialized leave only longing for relief"

Makes Political Address in Newark Great Dem
 OnStratlon

! NEWARK. N. J., Sept. 18.-In the face of the greatest demon stration he has witnessed since chosen to bear the standard of the Republican Party. Herbert O. Hoover last night in this city, de liyered the first stroke in his campaign to win the East.
 Speaking here, after 'an automo- bile tour through dozen smaller Gowns in the vicinity, the nominee described the tariff and immigra- lion stands of the Democrats as serious threats to the program of labor.
 The position of the Democrats in regard to the tariff and immi- grafton, he said, might constitute a barrier to the onward sweep of progress made during the last seven years and half, although labor, through collective bargain ing may improve working condi- tions and wages, government aid as necessary if the country's works Ire to be operated and a full-time Bob exist for every man.

HAVANA EXPLAINS RISE
 IN PRICES, CUBAN CIGARS

product is no longer exported and that in place of the former Ha- yana scheap" only the more ex- pensive shapes and sizes are going abroad.
 It is pointed out that duties of nearly all foreign markets are ap- piled to weight and the better shape of the Havana cigar takes a tariff of 40 per cent of it's origi- nal cost whereas in the cheap sizes it is almost 100 per cent. Consequently the smoker who is accustomed to high priced cigars continues to smoke the better Ha- vanas and at an increased price of but one to two cents per cigar.
 On the other hand. the smoker who used the cheaper grade Ha- vana witnesses a sudden rise and doubled price; but contrary to his belief that it is his old favorite Havana, it is of the better grade only, the cheaper shapes not being used in export trade.

HAVANA, Sept. 18.-Consider- able resentment has been evil denced by Cuban cigar makers over reports in the United States that the famous Havana weed is ascending in price and declining in quality.
 A survey of several large cigar factories here and interviews with owners indicate. veracity in the report that prices are now higher, but Havana cigars, nctwithstand- ing reports, are improved both in size and in the grade of filler and wrapper tobacco used.
 Frequent statistical reports rela- tive to twisted tobacco"-or ci- gars-show that manufacturers have doubled the price of their product. This is naturally taken as an indication of duplication of prices on the same commodity, but manufacturers show that the old
