MOSES OPPOSED TO AN
INVASION OF SOUTH
Docs Not Relieve Republicans Can
Break Through Democratic
Stronghold in Dixie.

New York. July n R-senato,
George H. Moses. vice chairman OF
the eastern republican advisory
committee, is opposed to an tnya-
sion of the solid south for the pur-
pose OF securing electoral votes for
Herbert Hoover, because. he be-
lieves, 1t would be useless.
1T Is long time before election
time enough for fervid passions to
cool off," he said. II have no great
Illusion of our ability to break up
the solid south, much as l would
desire to see it done"
The senator said hts advice to the
republicans was to concentrate on
the congressional campaign in GER
tain sections Of the south. Then If
we find ground for optimism we
may expand and 60 after bigger
game"
Commenting on the enrolment of
former Senator Robert l.. Owen of
oklahoma In the Hoover ranks
Senator Moses said that the Okla
homan's detection to the republican
party might have been due to the
persuasive powers OF his wife.
Mrs. Owen has been strong for
MIR. Hoover for long time" SEN
ator Moses said." but Senator Owen
himself is a more recent convert. It
Is merely a suggestion on my part
that the persuasive powers of Mrs.
Owen may have had something to
do with it,
The ten congressional districts in
the south where Senator Moses sees
hope of republican success are in
south Florida. Georgia, North Caro-
lima and Alabama.

Wrench Believed From
Plane Found Imbedded
In East Berlin Ground

A wrench believed to have
dropped from an airplane was
found this morning on the main
road below Morse's corner, East
Berlin. Part of the wrench was
imbedded in the ground about
four inches and two broken
parts of the handle were found
about 10 feet away. The fact
that the wrench was imbedded
In hard ground gave rise to the
belief that 1t had fallen from a

STOCKS ARE FIRM
IN |NPROF|T--fAK|NG
Market Recedes Slightly Aft
er Active and Higher
Opening Prices.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26.-Accumu-
lated buying orders over the week end
put prices on the Stock Exchange sharp
ly higher at the start, but a good share
of the gain was Cancelled in the later
trading, when selling was heavy. For
the most part the offerings were we'll
absorbed and there was no real change
in the character of the market.
There were numerous features at the
opening. Among them was Consolidated
Gas, the first sale of which was 15,50O
shares at 987s, up 3% points and at a
new high for the present stock. An
other was Andes Copper, the first sale
in which was 10000 shares at 56, I'D
over points, and also at a new hign
since listing. Victor Talking Machine
went forward spectacularly with a gain
of almost 10 points added to Its large
gain of Friday.
Even more sensational was the OPEN
ing in International Nickel. The stock
had closed Friday at 203. The first
sale today was 5000 shares at 2l5, up
IL points. Associated Dry Goods jumped
almost points. making a new 1928 top.
After the early buying orders had
UCCi1 4lIACu t1IcIc AOiIOWGQ a pcTIOQ OF
profit-taking under the weight of which
prices came off without, however, un-
covering any weakness. General Motors
up fractionally at the start, sold down
couple of points. U. S. Steel, up more
than two points on the first sale, lost
about half of its gain. The feature OF
the steel stocks today was Bethlehem
crossing 81 to new high. In the au-
tomobile group Willys-Overland was
bought on reports of a stock dividend
Hupp gained moderately, while Stewart
Warner was the leader of the accessory
division.
A number of the utilities moved SYM
pathetically with Consolidated Gas. CO.
lumbia Gas was up some points
above 1872 and not far from its extreme
high. International Telephone and Tele-
graph, Western Union and American
Telephone were higher.
