HOUSTON, July 20.-(P-Hearing
of an injunction suit brought by Har-

ris county democratic executive COM
mittee from excluding them and 9TH
er members Of the negro race from
the democratic primary of July 2S
was concluded at noon today before
Federal Judge J. G. Hutchinson.
Reserving his decision indefinitely,
Judge Hutcheson instructed attorneys
TO prepare memoranda on all cases
cited in support of their contentious.
G. +. Stevens, chief defense counsel.
filed a motion TO dismiss the action
for an injunction. This motion said,
among other things, that the primary
is not an election in the meaning of
the constitution and that the existing
state laws as to primaries do not
exclude negroes but authorize each
political party, through its state COM
mittee. to prescribe qualifications.
Federal Judge j. c. Hutcheson de-
clined TO act on the motion TO dis
miss, saying the case would be heard
ION its merits"
Two issues Of fact were presented.
The first was whether the selection
Of a candidate as the democratic nom
ince Is tantamount to election in Tex
as. Judge Hutcheson ruled, without
argument, that il is.
The second issue was whether J..
B. Grigsby and o. p. De Walt, Hous-
ton negroes, on behalf Of whom the
suit was filed. were democrats. Grigs-
by testified that he had been a DEM
ocrat about six years, and DeWalt
said that he became a democrat after
the general election in 1924.
