MONTANA REv|VES
WALSH CANDIDACY
Democrats Give Alternate
Instructions for
Senator.
.pcciai Dispatch 10 The star.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
HELENA, Mont. May 19.--The cam
didacy of Senator Walsh of Montana
was again brought to the fore this week
when the Democratic State convention
instructing its delegates for Gov. Smith
of New York, gave them mandate 10
bring forward Senator Walsh in case
Gov. Smith cannot be nominated.
The delegates are to stay with Smith
as long as his name is before the con-
vention. If he withdraws they are to
put up Senator Walsh and beg him to
reconsider his recent withdrawal,
The Republicans sent their delegates
uninStructed. Hoover men, it is be-
lieved. were in a majority in the con-
vention. but felt 1t best not to seek in
structions. Both State conventions met
here last Tuesday. The Democrats Sc
lected l6 delegates with half vote
each. The Republicans named %, with
a half vote each. Both parties also Sc
lected electors.
Instructions Are Surprise.
Alternate instruction for Senator
Walsh by the Democrats came as q
complete surprise, as 1t was oelieVea
the Senator had definitely eliminated
himself after his defeat in the Call
fornia primaries.
The instructions we're made on mo-
ton of former Representative Scout OF
Lewistown, long an ardent supporter OF
Walsh, and went over big Walsn
was also made a delegate to the con-
vention, as was J. Bruce kremef OF
Butte, national committeeman.
Among Republican delegates. ii are
known TO be for Hoover and the ,otner
IL for former Gov. Low6en OF Illinois,
Rumors from washington that United
States Senator Wheeler is to be put
forward by the Smith faction at Hous-
ton as a vice presidential candidate
have excited wide interest in Montana.
Mr.. Wheeler has announced himself
as a candidate to succeed himself III

Legal Question Raised.
There is a question that Senator
Wheeler could be candidate at once
for the Senate and for the vice presi-
dency He must choose, some political
authorities say, for he cannot legally
seek both.
So far as is known here Mr.. Wheeler
has not expressed himself on the stories
that the Smith people would have him
as running mate for the New YORK
Governor. Four years ago Wheeler was
the second man on the La Toilette
ticket, which ran second in Montana
Davis being a poor tf1ird-and which
scored heavily throughout the North
west.
Unrest in this section over farm aid
and other matters being what 1t is, the
smith faction-so the rlmors go-be-
lie.e Wheeler would add much strength
in the Northwest, now debatable
ground.

A COUNTESS SINGS.

The Countess Ortensia Piercy di Mig
nano, known in the music world as
Donna Ortensia, appeared in rare
hour of song" in the garden room
of the Mayflower Hotel yesterday after
noon. Although many of those in the
audience of Washingtonians distinguish
ed IN the social and music groups had
heard 'he countess frequently In the
homes of her friends and especially at
embassy affairs, including one at the
italian embassy when Signor Toscanini
was here for concert in January. this
charming lady's beautifully cultivated
tones are ali too seldom heard in pub
lie recitals before large groups. She is
musician who understands great
art. and as a result her program of
many songs little heard in this city,
beautifully prepared and sung. met
with marked success. She did not pre-
sent ii before the type Of audience that
is inclined to be very spontaneous in
showing appreciation, but there was no
doubt that it was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present,
In the first group of old italian and
Countess Piercy was instantly estab-
lishe6 "Sehnsucht den Fruehling'
was particularly lovely, The second
group of a Pergolese song and four
chansons d'Orleans. arranged by Fon-
tenailles was perhaps, the most fascl-
mating of the four groups. and 1t
brought unusual and exquisite songs to
the attention Of the audience. Then
came a "ViSione," by Sgambal. and
three Respighi songs. two of them ded-
icated to the singer. OF these two.
'Stornellatrice" had been sung here by
several other singers, including ST.
gnora Respighi herself. "Si I'll Veux"
WAS listed as sung for the first time in
America They are all lovely songs
and the Countess sings them with SYM
pathy and understanding. The last
group Of folk songs. completing the pro-
gram. showed variety and good taste in
the balancing and contrasting Of the
different types and moods. There were
included wistful Chinese folk song, an
amusing negro song with foreign inter-
pretation Of the dialect, three Ru-
manian songs, such AS this singer does
particularly charmingly; old Tuscan.
Venetian, Sicilian ana Neapoli,an airs.
TWO Of them arranged by Geni Sadero,
the Italian. who is herself a delightful
and interpreter Of songs.
Mildred Kolb Schultz Washington
mposer-accompanist. was at the piano.
She showed the real art Of the accom-
panist in the admirable way in which
she supplemented and emphasized the
singers interpretations. Martins
