ALICNMENTS
ARE CHANGED
IN End FIGHT
Blanton, Goes to Aid
Connally; Others
Are Silent; Parnell
Boosts For Miller

DALLAS, Texas, July 31.-(P)-As
the tumult Of last Saturdays dem
ocratic primary slowly subsided to-
day, the rumble of another political
conflict that will reach a climax In
the run-off primary next month be-
came audible.
AS returns slowly filtered in and
showed Senator Earle b. Mayfield
running for reelection, and Con-
gresham Tom Connally far ahead
Of the other four candidates, includ-
ing one woman, a re-alignment Of
forces pointing to battle royal IN
this race gained headway.
Congressman Thomas Blanton, who
posled a heavy vote, announced he
would support Mr.. Connally and
called upon his friends to follow his
example, while jeff McLemore, who
was running last on late returns, de-
clared he would throw his support
TO Senator Mayfield. Other cand.-
dates refrained from statements for
the ime being. They are: Alvin Nj.
0wsley, former naional commander
of the American Legion, and Mrs
Minnie Fisher Cunningham.
Love in Run-Off
A conflict Of scarcely lesser pro-
portions loomed as returns indicated
that Lieutenant Governor Barry
Miller and State Senator Thomas B.
Love would face each other in the
final democratic test before the No
vember elecionsr In his race for
reelection, Miller had large plu-
rality, on the face Of incomplete re-
turns, but Loves vote was enough
to make an interesting fight quite
probable. In his campaign, Mr..
Miller attacked Love for his stand
on national politics. Love had de-
clared he would not vote for Cover
nor Alfred Z. Smith of New York,

This was about 500 p. m. The

pleasant sound that presaged pos
sible disaster to the well planned

joke about it as evidenced by the
following message from the plane:

about. They soon found they were

STOCK PRICES
GO DOWNWARD
Sharp Break Follows Early
Period of Strength-Credit
Conditions Tighten

New York, June 4.-Tightening
credit conditions cast their shadow
over the market again today and
prices broke sharply after an early
period Of strength. Call money re-
newed unchanged at 6 per cent, but
banks called about $15,000,O00 in
loans and the large institutions re-
ported a growing scarcity in the
volume Of funds available for brok-
ers' borrowings.
The days business news was
mixed in character. Official denial
that negotiations were pending for
the sale Of the Radio Corporations
communications business to the
international Telephone company
were followed by q drop from
223 1-2 to 213 1-2 in that stock, but
scale buying orders were supplied
o npersistent rumors Of an inaugur-
alton Of cash dividends and an early
split-up of the stock. American
linsee dram up 6 points to 100 on
reports that the company would be
absorbed by Gold Dust, but the
latter ran into heavy profit-taking.
Prices ran up to z points in the
early trading with more than a
score issues moving into new high
ground. American Express ran up
8 points to q. new record high at
| 204 and American Railways Express
6 1-2 on q denial Of recent reports
concerning negotiations for the TAX
ing over of the American Railway
Express company stock by the rail
roads at q price substantially below
its current market value. Gimbel
Bros. moved into new high ground
on reports Of further accumulation
by Sears Roebuck interests.

early high at 334 to S25 and General

national Telephone sold down 6
points and Western Union sagged 6
points to 145, the lowest price this

stocks each sold down about I
points. Substantial recessions also
were recorded in such recent leaders
as American Telephone, consolidated
