 coy. PARKS IS ENROUTE EAST ON CONFERENCE
Called East Suddenly-B lieved to Confer on AL
 aska Governorship

Gov. George A. Parks is now en- route to Washington, D. C., for a conference with Department of In terior officers, according to tele- graphic information received from him by his private secretary liar ny G. Watson. The Governor was due to have arrived in Denver to- day and expected to visit there a few days with his parents, MT. and Mrs. James Parks.
 The nature of the conference that called Gov Parks to Washington was not revealed in the telegram received by MT. watson. The cal to the East was unexpected wher the Governor left here early this month for the States. He had planned to visit in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, and sail from Olympia last Saturday as a mem Der of the cruiser Jazz. local entry in the Capital Capital Yacht race.
 An Associated Press despatch from Seattle to The Empire last Wednesday, said the Governor was slated to address the Queen City Yacht Club, in that city, Wednes- day evening. Apparently he was summoned east from Seattle. Local Republican leaders are in- clined to believe that the confer ence is in connection with the Alas ka gubernatorial appointment. Gov Parks has been recommended fol re-appointment and has the en- dorsement of National Committee man Capt. A. E. Lathrop. and tht backing of all of the local ad- ministration leaders. Reliable re- ports received here recently indi- cate that hard fight was being staged in Washington to prevent his reappointment.
 The names of the leaders of this opposition were not revealed. In dications are not lacking that Dele gate Sutherland If not in fact ap- bearing in the fight, is aligned against the Governor. His factior in the Alaska Senate of the recen Legislature, steamrollered a. me. morial through the upper Hous, savagely attacking Gov. Parks charging him with political activ ity and using pressure to defeat cer tain legislation. Senators Anderson Frame, Benjamin, Sundquist anc Steel, all Sutherland supporters voted for 1t.
 A letter urging the appointment of Holmes, Texas Republican anc former Alaskan, signed by four O. these five Senators, was sent tt President Hoover, according to { United Press dispatch from Amaril 10, Texas.
