 Even at the risk Of alternating some Democrats the New York gov 'rnor must show himself enough of T national leader to win the support of republicans in the north and east if he, as the standard bearer of A minority party. is to be elected, Mir. Iippmann argued.
 Great personalities, bold programs, big issues are 8 nuisance to the re- publicans but the breath Of life to the democrats, he argued. That he said. 'is why Democratic politics ia generally so much more interesting and so much less successful"
 Governor smith, he said, Twill seriously. perhaps fatally. injure his chance 10 capture the Independent Republican vote In the pivotal states if he permits the notion to sink in hat he too uses vague phrases and that like so many other politicians he thinks one way in private and says something else in public"

WIVES OF PLIERS
 NEWLY OUTF|TTED
Each Presented With Three

New York, May ..-tP-Mrs. James Fltzmaricc and Mrs Herman koehl today were reveling in one of the joys of being wives of transatlan- tic fliers-cach had three complete outfits as the gift of one Of Fifth avenues leading est ablishmcnts.
 The two women spent more than two hours choosing their finery, but then a large part of this time was spent in attempting to convince six year-old Patsy" E'itzmauricc that she should not have a rcd hat and q red coat.
 Patsy had been included in the stores invitation, but when her mother refused 10 agree to her choice Of q selection the entire pro- ceedings left her cold--evcn more so, if possible, than the tumult Of the day before when her dad was being ,hcercd and decorated.
 Mrs. F'itzmaurice wanted navy blue outfit for Patsy, but the latter finally won a compromise in d coral dress and coat and a large black sailor hat. The coral, she probably felt. was nearer red than the navy blue. anyway
 Both Mrs. l'itzmaurice and Mrs. koehl chose shades Of blue.
 Mrs. kochl selected an afternoon frock Of mottled French blue and white. trimmed with hand faSotting; T navy coat with large blue fox cuffs and . satin scarf, a navy Banl1ol> hat and champagne colored gloves, shoes and handbag. For evening wear she picked ! chiffon robe style of hydrangea blue.
 Mrs. Fitzmaurice chose an after noon dress of middy blue Canton crepe, a straight nrap-around coat of navy blue. a hat of navy blue straw and navy shoes. Her evening dress was 9 gown of lowered lace trimmed with three tiers of yellow rhiffon.
 The two women were official guests at the premiere of musical comedy last night while their hus- bands were attending a municipal banquet. Patsy, who so far has failed 10 get much of a thrill out of the whole affair anyway, went to bed 'arly in their suite at the Ritz Carlton.

Will Seek Seat Left Vacant by
 Madden'S Death

Chicago. May IP, - Four ward committeeman substituted for d primary election yesterday and named Oscar De Priest, 57-ycar- old negro, as the republican consrcs- Slonal Eomlnc" from he first Tlli- nois district. His nHmc will replace that Of the late toncr, ssman Mad dcn.
 De Priest, 8 former alderman and county commissioner, IS one of many Chicago politicians who have been the victims of hombors. His homo was bombed several years ago during racial disturbances.
 Although De Priest is aligned with the republican faction dominated by Mayor Thompson. the uayor Was understood to have taken no active part in urging De Priests selection.
 The first congressional district is largely populated by negroes, vet tho late Congressman Madden won rr- nomination easily over the. negro candidate, William l.. Dawson. No negro ever has been elected 10 con- gress from this state, and there has been no negro member of congress from any state in 27 years.
 Dawson indicated he would chal- lenge the selection Of ne Priest on the ground that the four commit teemcn who made the choice were not qualified.
 Assistant Attorney Central Harri- son. also q negro, announced that hc would run as an independent against De Priest if the Dawson petition were denied.
 If this great district is 10 send to congress the first negro seen thcrc Tn a quarter Of century we have the right 10 say who that negro will he,' Harrison said. Our plan is 10 run an independent, and am ready for the race.'
 Independent negro leaders have petitioncd Gov. Small 10 call 8 spc- clal election to fill the uncA pircd term of Madden. They proposed that the man chosen at such election he named by the ward committee men as the candidate on the rcpuh- lican ticket in November. Gov. . Small has not indicated his attitude.
 De Priest himself was one Of the four committeeman who named him for the congressional nomination. The others were Daniel Jackson, negro Thompson leader in the sec ond ward; Daniel Serritela, city sealer; and John fDngbat) Oberta, performing his first official act as q committeeman.
 De Priest, who came 10 Chicago In 1889, was born in Florence. Ala and was educated in the Salina. Kansas, public schools. He was a painter by trade. but in recent years has been engaged in real estate During his term as Alderman Dc Priest was indicted In connection with graft scandals. the charge being he had received approHimatolv S. ooo from the owners Of vice and gambling places.
