SINGER TO AID
WOMAN SUED
Wife, Pianist, Charges
Familiarity With
Mogul's Mate

LOS ANGELES. July 26.-CPl-
When the alienation IF affections
suit of his wife. the former Hester
Hoff. concert pianist. is heard in
court. the voice Of Vernon Stiles. one
time grand opera tenor. probably
will be heard in defense OF the wom-
an accused Of stealing his love.
This the singer announced yester-
dav after his wife filed a divorce
suit against him and a $3.50. 900 alien
alton of affections against Mrs.
John r. MacGinniss. young wife Of
the Montana and New York copper
magnate.
In both actions, Mrs. Stiles de-
clared it was the clink Of the copper
fortune which sounded as a discord
in the domestic harmony Of the for
mer concert pianist and her grand
opra tenor husband. Stiles said he
had not decided whether be would
fight the divorce suit but that he
was determined TO aid Mrs. MacGin-
Miss in fighting the alienation suit
In the divorce suit Mrs. Stiles told
OF engaging private detectives, aft
er she had returned suddenly from
a trip and found a woman's gar
ments scattered about her husbands
The detectives reported that
the clothing belonged to the wife
Of the copper magnate.
Then followed a raid By detectives
on n cabin at Lake Arrowhead
Calf. where. according TO the suit.
they found Stiles and Mrs. Mac
Ginniss scantily clad.

sidered act might, however, upset all
calculations.
The most dangerous element per-
haps is the bitter feeling against
Luis Morones, resigned secretary Of
labor, by some Of the 0bregon group.
There have been promiscuous
charges that Morones and his labor
lite aids created a psychological
background" by their opposition to
obregon which made his assassina-
ton possible.
Well informed observers, however,
saw prospects that Mexico would
emerge peacefully from the present
turbulent political situation.
Those who conferred on the presi-
Dental question included Aurelio
Manrique and Antonio Soto Y Cana,
agrarian leaders, and Ricardo To-
pete. leader Of the Obregon bloc,
which controls congress.
II seemed probable that either
President Gales would be asked to
succeed himself as provisional pres
ident under certain constitutional
arrangements which might be made
or that Aaron Saenz, governor Of
Nuevo Leon, would be favored.
Numerous booms for local and ma
tional figures have sprung up in
various parts Of the republic. Most
of these. however. have remained
in a formative stage instead Of gath
ering strength.
