BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA July 14.-John J.
Raskob has indicated his willingness to
resign from the Union League here If
his membership in that organization,
which has always been Republican and
which has Endorsed Secretary Hoover's
candidacy for the presidency, should
prove an embarrassment to the club be-
cause of his acceptance of the chair
manship of the Democratic national
committee.
Speaking last night at his Summer
home near Centerville, Md, the motor
car company official said to ques-

of performing some constructive service
by helping relieve the country of the

Mr.. Raskob denied a report from
Washington that he had urged PreSi-
dent Coolidge to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination.
"I d not talk to the President about
the campaign" Mr. Raskob said. 1T
always has been my private opinion that
Mr.. Coolidge would be drafted. because.
as a -uSiness man. did not believe
that the Republican party would take
a chance with q weaker candidate
against the popularity of Gov Smith
Mr.. Raskob denied emphatically that
he had told Washington correspondent
that while he was close friend Of Gov
Smith. he preferred President Coolidge
as a candidate
Officials of the Union League said
they regarded his appointment as Dem
ocratic chairman as a distinct aid to
the charces of Hoover.

that the $34,000,000 would be a fair
price If he could assume that the COM
mission would allow a fair return on
fair value.
Col Ladue then inquired if the re-
turns Of the company's business re-
mained unaltered. If $34, 4,000, 900 would
be a fair price to pay for It, Mr.. Miller
said he did not know what the returns
were. He was handed a financial re-
port, which he started to examine, but
