evans claims strength


Evans Claims Strength
Despite the rumors of formidable
strength held by James M. Knapp
of Hagerstown, and J. Glenn Harris
of Gary, H. H. Evans of Newcastle
was claiming he would have thirty
five votes on the first ballot. If all
Representatives are present, forty
one will be necessary for election.
Evans was claiming the votes of six
Marion county representatives. An
alliance of Harris and Knapp forces
behind Knapp was widely rumored.
Such a move would give Harris

Truman G. Murden, Cass county,
and John w. Chamberlain, Terre
Haute. disclaimed any intention of
withdrawing. George w. Freeman,
Kokomo, is the seventh man in the
race.
On the Democratic side, Joseph
Cravens, Madison, was said to
hold the inside position for senate
minority leader FabiuS Gwin,
Shoals, and DELPHI McKesson, Plym-
outh, were in a rather unSpirited
contest for minority leadership in
the house.
Sixty Newcastle friends of Evans,
including Mayor Strod Hayes, a
Democrat, came to Indianapolis by
special interurban today to advance
Evans Speakership candidacy.
Candidates multiplied for elective
clerical and bookkeeping posts in
both houses. The jobs will be filed
at tonight's Republican caucuses.
Claude @. Phillips of Carbon, as
Sistant secretary of the senate in
1927, became a last-minute opponent

Marion COunty'S Delegates
May Hold Margin to
Decide Results.
NEJDL IS CONFIDENT
RumOr Frank Wright May
Withdraw in Race
for Speaker.

Marion cOunty'S six state senators
and twelve representatives today
we're regarded as holding the mar
gin of votes that probably will de-
termine the result of caucus elec-
tions tonight for president pro tenn.
of the senate and Speaker of the
house.
All Republicans, members Of the
two Marion county delegations, were
planning to caucus ahead of the
regular party caucuSes to determine
whether they should vote as a unit.
Thirty-eight Republican SEN
ators and eight representatives will
choose the Speaker at caucuseS, 7:30
in the legislative halls. Twelve
democratic senators and twenty
representatives will chose their
minority leaders in caucuses at the
Claypool at 8.
NejdI Is Confident
A persistent report that most of
Marion county's senators were
pledged to Denver C. Harlan, Rich
mond, strengthened the probability
Of his election as president pro tem.,
his friends asserted. But James j..
Nejdl, Whiting, who held the post
in the last three sessions, reiterated
his claim: I'm sure of election. !"
G. Oliver Holmes, Gary, joined the
crowd milling in the Claypool lobby
and predicted Harlans election by
a big majority. If all senators at
tend the caucus, twenty votes will
be necessary to elect.
Talk in the speakership contest
involved the probable withdrawal of

tered the room the Wedding March

Continuous dancing from 10 to 3
o'clock is certainly one of the slogans
of the Bal BOheme, with the famous
supper period from midnight until z
am. It is whispered that New York
chef. trained In the ~art of Egyptian

room of the Bal Boheme this year.

Club has ruled that tickets are to be
purchased only at the Arts Club or from
