TO BILLIONS
Stock Market Decline Wipes
Out Hordes of Shoestring
Spectators

New York, June 13.-(F-Losses
of paper profits in stocks in yester-
days sensational market were
reckoned in billions of dollars to-
day. The decline in the market
value of General Motors from the
high point of the year alone was
$3.50, 100000.
For the first time in the history
of the exchange a 100000 share
session was recorded, the count of
shares traded in being $4,000.
Many reasons, political and
financial, were furnished in the
street for the collapse of the great
bull market.
Some observers laid it to the fail
ure Of the drafting" movement at
Kansas City. In other quarters,
however, the decline was regarded
as a national correction of the spec
ulative excuses of the past few
months.
Bancitaly Heads Toboggan
The general market decline, which
began Monday, was touched off by
the sensational drop in the banci-
tally stocks on the curb exchange.
Other factors influencing the de-
cline were the increase in call money
rates from%5 1-2 to 6 per cent. The
calling of $15,OO0,00O in loans by
New York banks, presumably to
meet the heavy demand for funds
in connection with income tax pay

further increase in federal reserve
bank discount rates.
The paper profits of thousands Of
small Spectators have been wiped
out and converted into losses in

ginal accounts were called in Mon

DAWES IN LEAD
AS CHOICE FOR
SECOND PLACE
Borah and Mellon Support Him
for denomination As Vice
President
BY FRANCIS NJ. STEPHENSON

OI FKANClS Nj. STEPHEN sun
Kansas City, June 13.-Vice
presidential booms have popped up
at the Republican convention like
mushrooms after q rain since Her.
bart Hoover accumulated his appar-
eKtfy winning lead in the presiden-
tial race and leaders were busy to-
day looking over the crop.
In the center Of the field and
standing a little higher than the
host ct other candidates. was Vice
President Dawes with Secretary
Mellon and Senator Borah giving
impetus to a boom already under
way with public declarations for
the incumbent.
So many were the candidates and
SO strong was the Dawes movement
running, that leaders took quick
cognizance Of the situation and
heads were together during the
night in the "inner circle" for some
preliminary study.
Western Man Sought
Every vice presidential condition
today hinged on the Hoover candi-
dacy and the field of contestants
ranged from the eastern coast to
the Rocky fountains. 1t was the
consensus that the Hoover running
mate should come from the middle
west where the agricultural problem
is demanding attention Of the party
chieftains.
However, no word was forthcom-
ing fAom Mr.. Hoover or from the
Hoover camp. Lieutenants there
emphasized that the commerce Sec
retary would not commit himself on
a vice president candidate at least
before he was definitely nominated
and perhaps not even then.

FARM GROUPS
LEADPR0TEST
OVER HOOVER
Shouts of Thirty Million
Farmers Won't Vote for
Hoover Ring Out

Kansas City. June 13.-lF-Fur-
ther demonstrations from the farm
group protesting the nomination of
Herbert Hoover was expected today
after the convention city had re-
sounded well into the night with
cries of Thirty million farmers
won't vote for Hoover"
The demonstration was partici-
pated in by upwards Of 800 men
most of whom looked like they had
come right off the farms of the
middle west. They let their protest
ing shouts ring through the streets,
convention headquarters and even
within several Hoover mass meet
ings.
Finally broken up through clever
efforts of Representative Wyant, a
Hoover worker from Pennsylvania,
and corps of Hoover lieutenants
who rushed to the scene, the farm
leaders averred they would continue
their demonstrations until the bal
loting commences in an effort to
"show the east just what we think
of Hoover"
The demonstration received it's
impetus at farmers meeting
which was addressed by a number
of the leaders advocating plank in
the party platform favoring farm
relief along the lines of the vetoed
McNary- Haugen bill. Lining them
selves up two by two, the throng
paraded noisily through convention
center streets and at one time halted
in Ararat temple in the midst Of q
monster Hoover mass meeting.
Sing National Anthem
The Hoover leaders, seeking to
stop the continuous shouts of 1--WE
don't want Hoover" Anybody but
Hoover" and "Thirty million farm
ers won't vote for Hoover" ordered
the band to strike up with the Star
Spangled Banner. Momentarily
disconnected, the shouts were sud-
denly broken off, but the farmers
soon regained their presence of
mind and Joined in the singing.
When the strains Of the national
anthem died away. the shouting was
taken up again. The protesters soon
left the hall.
Fired by the commands Of two or
three leaders, the throng jostled its
way toward the Baltimore hotel,
carrying aloft banners demanding
farm equality and condemning the
veto Of the McNary-Haugen bill and
other inscriptions anything but COM
plimentapy to the commerce secre-
tary. When they reached the Balti-

Story of Wreck Of Dirigible
Told in Radio Message to
News Agency

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, June 13.
-R-Captain Riiserlarsen and
Lieutenant Luetzow Holm. Norwe-
gian flyers, were ready to start to-
day on . determined attempt to
bring help to the stranded crew of
the Italia now in desperate straits
on drifting pack ice.
The Sealer Hobby, after batter
ing its way through open leads, was
in open water today and the Nor
wegian flyers were planning to take
off as soon as conditions were fav-
orable in an effort to find the
Italia's radio party, of which Gen.
eral Umberto Mobile is head, some
where near Foyne Island off the
coast of Northeast Land.
Two favorable circumstances were
present today. A blizzard, which
had been sweeping the Archipelago
spent itself and the weather condi-
tions at Spitzbergen were improved.
There was q strong wind, but it
was not 90 cold as yesterday and
there was no snow. The sun was
shining, this bringing some COM
fort to the sorely stricken men of
the Italia now waiting almost three
weeks for help.
Party Drifting
The second favorable condition
was that the Mobile party had drift
ed at least = mile and . quarter to
the west, bringing them closer to
their wouldbe rescuers by that much
margin and carrying them further
from the danger Of being swept out
to the open sea between the eastern
tip of Northeast Land and Franz
Josef land.
The radio operator Of the strand
ed crew, Giuseppi Biogi, told the
operator Of the Citta di Milano of
the drift of the ice in q conversa-
tion last evening.

"At 1890 a. m. on May Is while
the Italia was flying normally at a
height of 500 meters, suddenly the
weight increased, apparently by
snow and ice forming on the bag
The airship began a rapid plunge
which it was impossible to halt and
in two minutes it crashed on the
polar ice pack.
"The cabin and part of the upper
bracing were torn away while the
bag was carried by the wind in an
easterly direction.
"Among the debris on the ice all
the occupants of the, cabin were
found alive. Scattered on the ice
around them was almost all the ma
terial which formed the cabin.
"Only minute after the plunge,
Mobile and his companions cried
passionately: Viva Italia
"On the evening of May 80 about
IL kilometers northeast Of Foyn
Island. Captain A. Mariana and
Captain Filippo Zappi and the Swed-
ish scientist, DR.. Finn Malmgren,
started with provisions for North
