Opium Suspect
Will Be Sent
Back to China
Officials Decide Not to Prose-
ecute Orientals Caught
with Opium; Own Nation
to Decide Penalty.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-U,P)
An embarrassing situation for the
United States, and the possibility OF
q tong war, will be eliminated, it
was evident today, by sending three
prominent Chinese back home with
out prosecution on charges OF
smuggling opium.
Ying Kao, vice consul here, his
wife and Suen Foon, chancellor OF
the local consulate were arrested
after customs officials found more
than $5OO,OO0 worth of opium and
other cortraband, in Mrs. Ylng
Kaos baggage,
On the eve of the expected grand
jury indictments, DR.. G. G. WI,
Chinese ambassador at Washington,
tClegraphed w G.. Anching Kung,
consul general here, and ordered the
recall to China of Ying Gao and
Sucn Foon.
In this act was seen agreement
with United States authorities as
the arrests were under the Jones'
Miller act, with deportation as the
probable penalty. Recall, 1t Is
pointed out, will accomplish the
same end and without hazard OF
starting a fight between conflicting
tongs in San Francisco'S great
Chinese section, and without en-
barassrnent to the Chinese OF
United States governments.
With the opium in Mrs YinE
Taos luggage were letters and docu-
ments which United States Distric
Attorney George Hatfield ordered
confiscated, a grim and watchful al
has pevailed in Chinatown sine
the arrest of Chinese officials TO
opium smuggling.
What action will be taken II
China is unknown. But it is pointe'
out that punishment may be drastl
because of the peculiar position
which the case placed the republi

PATRONAGE ROLE
Southern Campaign Manager
for Hoover Charges Misrep-
resentation in Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

Horace A. Mann, Southern manager
for Herbert Hoover during the presi-
dental campaign, in a statement last
night denied he wished to control dis
| tribution of Southern patronage and
asserted he had told the Republican
national committee that he intended
ito have nothing to do with political
| patronage"
I'm view of the widely published mis-
| representations concerning my course
| at a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Republican national
committee" the statement said, Il
wish to state that attended this meet
ing at the invitation Of Chairman Work,
and that my sole participation in it
was to discuss the general Southern
political situation. So far from de-
handing the passage of resolution
giving me credit for the result and set
ting me up as a patronage referee in
the South, I claimed and asked for no
| credit and distinctly stated that I in
tended to have nothing to do with po-
litical patronage"
Reports had been circulated that Mr.
Mann had unsuccessfully sought to
have the national committee adopt a
patronage plan at the executive COM
mittee session and that he later had
yer as titular head of the Republican
party.
In the statement Mann said he had
sought to have some officer of the COM
mittee clear up the misrepresentation
that he had been on the pay roll of
the national committee, but that James
Francis Burke, counsel of the commit
tee, gave an Official opinion to the
effect that under the rules of the COM
mittee this could not legally be DONE"
He asserted that his call on the Presi-
dent had nothing to do with any con-
troversy with the national committee -
so far from desiring now to act as
patronage dispenser" he continued,
II am voluntarily turning over my rec
ords to Chairman Work, having con-
tinued my work beyond the end of the
sampaign only at the request of the
then President-elect."
He said there was absolute harmony
in the Southern organization which OPP
Grated under his direction during the
campaign.
