AMERICAN AU70|ST
 MAKES NEW RECORD
keech Speeds Along at More
 Than 207 Miles an Hour

Daytona Beach, Fla, April 2S (CP) - America again holds the motor car speed supremacy through the record breaking performance of J. NJ. Whites Tripiex special. Yesterday Ray Keech. with the backfire of one motor burning sav- agely at his wrist, established in it new record of 207.55:6 miles an hour. It bettered the e06.95 miles an hour that Captain Malcolm Camp bell of England made in a Napier last February.
 The Triplex is a peculiar appearing motor car. It was barred once by the A. \. A. because 1t had no re- verse gear. This has been corrected. It is tremendously heavy and has three great liberty motors. capable of developing 500 horsepower. There are six wheels.
 With 30 mile wind blowing yes- terday Keech sent the car roaring up and down the hard packed course and then announced he was ready for time trial. The heavy ma chine shot out against the wind at better than three miles | minute. The official miles was checked at 20l56774.
 Then Keech turned and came back with the wind at 213:S:S74 miles an hour which gave him an average speed of 20755a6 miles an hour, just slightly better than the English mans average.
 To observers it appeared the Triplex was working perfectly but when keecil came to the pits he ex- hibited q wrist that was scared pain .uily and said that carburetor on the forward motor had hackfired, inflicting the minor burns.

THIS IS BIG WEEK
 IN THE PRIMARIES
Nearly 2M Delegates Will Be Chosen by Both Parties

Washington, April c3 (UP)- This is the big week in the primary campaign. Nearly 220 delegates will be selected for both the republican and democratic conventions in pri- maries Tuesday in Pennsylvania. Massachusetts and Ohio. The republican battle in Ohio is the most important of the three. There an acid test of the candidacy of Secretary Of Commerce Hoover will be made against the opposition of a slate of delegates pledged to the name of the late Senator Willis but now known as Hoover opposi- ton delegates
 The state has 5o votes in the con. vention. Political observers believe the delegation may be split about even but a decisive victory or de- feat for Hoover would have a ma- terial effect upon his candidacy ma tionally.
 The battle has been the hottest of all the convention primaries thus far. Before Senator Willis died he campaigned strenuously against Hoover. Since his death the ani- nosities of the opposing factions have increased, though the bitter ness has not been brought to pub. lie attention.
 Senators Curtis Of Kansas, Wat son of Indiana and former Gov. Lowden of Illinois are the nominal Ilegatees of the Willis strength but many of the Willis delegates have indicated they will vote for Vice President Charles G. Dawes if they are elected.
 mary in Massachusetts has been somewhat diminished by the edict Of President Coolidge last Friday requesting that the campaign to write his name in on the ballots be dropped. It had been planned to bring his home state delegation to the convention pledged to him for renomination. The Hoover organiza- tion has been built up throughout the state and claims have been made by his managers that he now will get the major portion of the g delegates.
 A delegation dominated by Mel lon picked candidates is expected to be chosen by republicans of Penn- sylvania, where the campaign has not been as active as in Ohio and Massachusetts. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon with Senator Elect Ware of Pennsylvania usually domi- nate the republican party Of the state and they are seeking an un- instructed delegation.
 The democratic primaries in all three states have less significance than the republican fights. In Ohio a delegation instructed for Atlee Pomerene, former senator. is expect ed to be named. Some of the dele. gates favor the candidacy of Gov Vic Donahey but most of them are expected to be in the column for Gov. Al Smith of New York before the balloting proceeds very far a, Houston.
 Smith will get the 36 Massachu- setts delegates without trouble and is expecting 60 of the 76 Pennsyl. vania delegates. In Pennsylvania he has been opposed by democratic drys led by Vance Mccormick, liar. risburg publisher
 On Tuesday republicans of Ne. vada will meet in convention. In. dications are that an uninstructed delegation will be chosen.
