c. D. P. SPLIT IN
PA. LOOMS

The political honeymoon which a
good many Republican organiza-
lions have been enjoying under the
benign influence of Coolidge solidar
ity appeared today to be waning
fast.
Herbert Hoover's entry into Ohio
with his Presidential candidacy has
split the closely-knit Republican
organization of that State into two
snarling factions. The fur is already
beginning to fly, and this probably
will be followed by the spilling Of
real gore at the April primary
when the Hoover and Willis fac
tons come to grips.
In New York, a semblance of
Republican harmony is being main
tanned only by the use OF the Cool
idge name Charles D. IIilles, the
titular Republican spokesman OF
the State. is still holding aloft the
Coolidge hammer and calling for his
denomination.
Today there was every indica-
ton that the Republican orgsniZa-
ton of Pennsylvania is i'm for
slam-bang fight of far-reaching and
important proportions.
Representative John NJ. Norm.
who has represented A Pittsburgh
district in Congress for Is wears
and who has risen to the chair
nanship of the Military Affairs
Committee. returned to the Capital
today determined, it is said. to
oppose Senator David A. Reed for
renomination.' NORM has been
turned down for denomination 20
Congress by the organization in
Pittsburgh, and by way of retalia-
ton is going to run for the Senate
with, it Is reported, the support OF
most of the Ware organization In
Philadelphia. II so, it spells the
breaking of the Mellon-Vare alliance
in PennsyIva mia. and opens the
door wide to another bitter and
slashing primary in Pennsylvania.
Presidential politics enter into all
these State contests, which involve
three of the largest Republican or
ganiZa tons in the country--Ohlo.
New York and Pennsylvania. Illinois
