Washington, Aug. LP-Now that the date of the long expected meet ing of the republican national con- mittee has been set for September g. political forecasters in Washing ton have become almost unanimous in pointing to Claudius H. Huston of Chattanooga. Tenn, as the next chairman.
 That general impression is growing ing in strength despite that the lat est word from the White House is that Ralph Williams of Oregon, vice chairman of the committee, and George Woodruff of Chicago, as well as Huston and several others, are under consideration for the post.
 Huston Boom Strong
 The strength of the Huston boom is based on a number of factors, not the least of which is his long per- sonal friendship with President Hoover, whose wishes naturally will have the greatest weight with the committee in making its decision. He served under MT.

Still another consideration regard ed as pointing to the choice of Illus ton is the knowledge that he was ad- vanced for the chairmanship hortly after the Kansas City convention. At that time. however. Mr. Hoover wanted to honor Dr. Hubert Work. the first of his cabinet colleagues to take an active part in behalf of his candidacy. with the leadership, and the latter accepted with the under standing that after the election. he would be allowed to retire

WEATHER IS IDEAL FOR BRICK MAKERS Helps Atone for Low Tariff and
 Foreign Competition STOLEN AUTO WRECKED
Occupants Stink Away Dripping BloOd-Court Session Tonight Shower For Miss Mariotti-New Britain Driver Arrested.

Profting by ideal weather for brick manufacturing local yards are working for the most part to their full capacity. Many of the yards are stocked up on brick, sheds being full and more brick being made eacn day, but the market is slow and shipping from the local brick plants is slow.
 John Carbo of the Carbo Brick Company stated today that the local yards were not in the New York market, due 10 the shipment from Belgium of brick which enters this country at very low tariff and is sold here at a cheaper price than can be met by the local yards.
 At present there is bill before congress for the placing of higher tariff on brick.
 Bridgeport is at present a good market for local brick, but, in the opinion of MT. Carbo, it will be but a short time before this city also will be receiving brick from abroad and will cut off the local brick entirely
 At present the most favorable market for brick is here in Connccti- cut. Bridgeport, Stamford, Hait- ford, and other large cities in the state offer market for most of the brick that is sold by the local yards
 Bernard T. Donnelly of the Don nelly Brick Company states that the brick manufactured there is finding it's way into many of the states in the Union and that the New York market is very poor. Some brick was shipped there but with the for eign brick entering. competition was very strong. It is possible to manu- facture brick in Belgium, ship it to this country. and market 1t for much less than 1t costs to make it here, it was stated. This is due to the high cost of labor in this part of the country and the cost of rail ship ment. as compared with the low cost of labor in Belgium. and the cheap ness of shipping it by water, and the low tariff.
 Most of the yards are working to full capacity. taking advantage ot the weather conditions which greatly favor the digging of the clay in the open pits.
 The labor in the local yards has greatly changed in the past few years. it was learned. Some years ago there were many negroes en- ployed. but at present mostly white laborers are employed. Some of the yards employ negroes but not to the extent that has been the case in past years
