u. Burns douglass Oh III.
Wayne got only seven votes on
the third ballot and withdrew.
1t appeared that there would
be long, bitter contest before
a nominee was chosen.
In case of a deadlock, it was ex-
pected that a nominee from outside
the list of primary candidates would
win. Among such strong possibili-
ties was George M. Barnard, at
torney, Newcastle.
Adams Goes Up
Thomas H. Adams of VincenneS,
who dropped to 20 votes on the sec
ond ballot, had 109 on the third.
Jesse E. Eschbach Of Ft. Wayne had
118, and U. S. Lesh of Indianapolis,
80.
Lands had started with 254 votes
on the first ballot. The swing to
him on the third ballot was steady
and slow. He picked up few votes
from about one-third of the coun-
ties.
At the start of the fourth ballot.
Adams County shifted its seven
votes from Schortemeier to Lands
and there we're loud shouts for
Lands from over the convention
floor.
Schortemeier's strength on the
ballots was expected, the other can
didates basing their hopes upon his
failing to obtain a majority on early
rounds and the delegates breaking
away from him later.
Lands and Jewett we're regarded
as the strongest possibilities.
County for SchOrtemeier
On the first ballot, Marion County
gave Schortemeier IS, Jewett so and
Lands one.
The balloting for Governor fol-
lowed a morning of uneventful rou-
tine business, in which the platform
was adopted and other desires of
party leaders ratified without a dis
senting vote.
The tabernacle, which seats more
than 5000, was jammed.
Speeches Are Banned
Nominating speeches were banned
by rule adopted by the rules conf
mittee Wednesday night. Any
candidate unopposed for nomina-
ton will be declared nominated by
acclamation before any contest is
taken up, the committee decided.
The committee ruled that no can
didate will be permitted on the con-
vention floor Alvah j. Rucker, can
didate for Governor. dropped out of
the race when the rules committee
insisted nominations would not be
permitted for candidates who have
not paid their convention assess
ment. Rucker vigorously opposed
the assessment plan.
A majority, $40, of the 1888 dele
gates, is required for nomination.
A majority vote will suspend any
rule of the convention.

This was in contrast to the recep-
ton the crowd gave him Wednes-
day, when his appearance was ap-

chief contender for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, appeared
on the stage as a guest. There

SECOND VISIT TO SPOT

SECOND VISIT TO SPOT
BIZ United Press

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May
'24.-An aircraft again has sailed Sc
renely over the summit of the world
and Gen. Umberto Mobile, who cir
cled the North Pole shortly after
midnight today, is en- route back to
his base here.
The Italia reached the North Pole
at 1925 a. m.
For few minutes it circled, as
the definite location of the pole has
not been determined, and Mobile
wanted to make sure his dirigible
passed over the exact spot.
Then an italian flag, cross
blessed by the Pope, and guide ropes
were dropped.
General Mobile kept the Italia
cruising in the polar vicinity for
two hours. Then the trim dirigible
its sides coated with ice and its en-
gines roaring, started back toward
civilization.
Mobiles Second Visit
Mobile had visited the spot that
only a few men before him had
visited. He was on one of the former
expeditions with Roald Amundsen
and like Amundsen circled the area
lust to be sure the exact spot had
been reached.
This fight to the north pole
climaxed Mobiles series OF ma
neuvers through the northern skies,
He flew to the north from Italy
a few weeks ago announcing three
tours.
The first was unsuccessful.
The second was a 68-hour cruise
over the frozen waste lands that
circle the pole.
The third resulted in this visit to
The pole proper.
Nearly Turned Back
Bad weather endangered this last
fight just as almost every flight
since the Italia left Italy had been
handicapped, Starting out at 40
a. NJ. Wednesday morning Mobile
headed for North Greenland.
The first part of the tour was re-
ported excellent. Then apparently
bad weather set in for Major Valini
at Vadsoe, Norway, reported he had
received word that the big dirigible
was fighting poor flying conditions.
The dirigible was reported sailing
rlu the coast of Norway and Valinl
said he had been advised to stand
by to receive the Italia should NO
bile decided to land.
Fights Weather
But the Italia's pilot was not to
be discouraged. He continued fight
ing the poor flying weather and
finally came reports to the base
here that Italia had proceeded over
the north of Greenland at 6 p. M
wednesday night. Thence the
Italia took a direct course to the
pole.
Apparently conditions at the pole
were not so good for the expedition
Mobile had planned. Before leav-
ing Kings Bay he announced that
when the pole was reached he
would descend and that probably
two members of his crew-a meteor
ologist and an engineer-would
descend with him.
They intended to make careful
observations.
This plan, however, depended
upon the weather and advices indi-
Gated the attempt had not been
made.

Smetana's reputation as a per-

interpreter OF Chopin. However. his
first compositions were rot received
very cordially.
On November Is. 1852. the new
opera house in Prague was opened
with Smetana as conductor. The
famous operas OF the day were
translated into Bohemian. as the
Bohemian operas did not furnish
sufficient repertoire. Smetana, there

was the result. This was produced

His second opera The Battered
Bride" was received with immense
enthusiasm and this opera brought
to him the title OF Bohemia's great
est composer. This opera brought
Smetana's fame to all parts Of the
world and established his fame.
In the Spring OF 1874. Smetana re-
signed his post as conductor OF the
opera house owing to deafness.
Some OF his finest compositions
are dated from that time. but his
health falling. he had to be confined
in an insane asylum in 1854.
