 CHICAGO, Sept. 1--The Ma tional Executive Committee of the National Prohibition Party defeated the proposal to support Herbert C. Hoover for President and withdraw support of it's own candidate, William r. varney. from the Presidential contest, by a vote of 4 to 3.
 A statement issued by the Ex- ecutive Committee says that the position of the majority was this election is not a bona fide contest over the Prohibition ques- tion but fair contest between the modification program of Gov.

SANTA FEE, N. M. Sept. l. State issues appear to take prece- dence over national questions in New Mexico politics this year. The state tax question is vieina with that of whether there will be an equal division of county and state offices between Anglo and Spanish Americans, while the con- ltroyersy is in progress over wheth- Ter Sen. Bronson Cutting, wealthy Santa Fe publfshera is a Demoera. or a Republican,. sS~T The main signpost frem the viewpoint of the national cam paign is seen in the fact that New Mexico, nominally a Republican state, has a large Spanish-Ameri-
 can population, mostly of the same religious faith as Gov. Alfred F. Smith. who are enthusiastically
 supporting the New York execu- tive. Neither the prohibition ques- ton nor the farm relief contro- lyersy seems to interest the state electorate vitally.
 Campaign llnes usually appar- ent through candidates for state offices can not be drawn yet as
 none of them has been selected The central committees of both parties have met and chosen All |buquerque for their respective con- ventions but neither has named
 the date of the convention. Each, apparently, wishes the other to
 nominate its candidate first.
 This year, for the first time, the Anglo and Spanish have
 been organized as units. The |Spanish-Am6ricans have formed the Club Politico Independence, which claims 10000 members. and committees of three Republicans
 and three Democrats have been
 appointed to appear before the
 convention of each party and make
 a request for equal representation in offices.
 The Cutting controversy resolves around charges that the senator
 who was appointed to succeed the Sen. A. A. Jones by Gov. R. c. Dill
 lon, Republican, announced in a
 public address during the last campaign that he was Democrat. James G. McNary, Republican State
 Chairman, has demanded that
 Cutting be forced to state "defi- nitely that he is a Republican" be-
 fore the Republican party renomi-
 mates him. Cuttings newspaper, the New Mexican, says that Cut
 ting always has been independent
 supporting the man and not the party.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-William Randolph Hearst, newspaper pub fisher, in answer to a query from the Brooklyn Eagle, daily news paper, predicted the defeat of Gov Alfred F. Smith. on the prohibition issue and because of the Governors connection with ITammany Hall.
 The people of the United States do not want Tammany in control of the Nation," Hearst says in h,s statement. "Tammany is political Mafia organization |ef graft and political blackma,l.
