Scheme to Keep ReinS in
His Hands Seen by
Party Foes.

Delay of George v. Coffin, dis
trict and city Republican chairman,
in calling a meeting of precinct
committeeman and women to re-
ceive his promised resignation, to-
day was regarded by his opponents
as political play" to keep the
strings of county government In
Collins hands.
Coffin announced his intended
resignation last week following his
party's defeat in the municipal cleo
ton. At that time he said he
would call Republican precinct
workers into session Immediately to
resign. Since that time, however,
Coffin is reported i'll at his home
and date for the meeting since has
been extended indefinitely.
Republican leaders who have
looked on the Coffin control of their
party with disfavor since the cleo
ton defeat have worked for a gen.
eral overhauling of the county's
G. o. P. machinery.
In the face of this sentiment,
Omer Hawkins, county chairman of
the party, has declined to submit
his resignation, and at the same
time Wayne Enmelmann, defeated
G. o. P. candidate for city clerk
and city chairman, has chung to
his post.
Collins announcement gave rise to
a long list of candidates for the
Seventh district Craftsmanship.
Collins alleged play" in with
holding his resignation has been
bolstered by the attitude of his
fifteen ward chairmen in sitting
tight" until political waters have
Gained. his foes believe. Many of
the $50 committeeman and women,
however, are reported to have
staged indignation meetings with
intentions of unseating him.
Several anti-Coff1n party leaders
have regarded Cofin's move with
suspicion since the name of George
Snider, county commissioner and
Coffin worker, has been mentioned
as a successor.
Snider has been noncommittaI.
He is reported to have the support
of a majority of Coffln's right hand
men.

wart personality of Charles S. Mott,
backed by 5000, 900 of his personal
fortune, loomed behind the plum
dered Union Industrial bank today
as the champion of investors against
the dishonesty of trusted men.
Mott, a vice president of General
Motors and newly elected president
OF the bank, has replaced dollar for
dollar the $3,592,000 taken from the
bank by a group of minor execu-
tiveS who found the bottom knocked
out Of their Wall Street air castles.
While Michigan rang today with
praise of Motifs magnanimous &C

nounced the bank, one of the larg-
est in this motor capital, was in
even better condition than before
the thefts.
Will Push Prosecution
Meanwhile, preparations went
ahead to prosecute to the limit the
group of employees who took the
funds over a period of eighteen
months.
Investors pinned their faith on
Motifs guarantee.
When the theftS were discov-
cred they were believed to total less
than $1,000000. Mott dispatched
wire to Detroit and in a few hours
an armored car rolled up to the
vault door of the bank with
81 100000 in cash.
He subsequently swelled the total
guarantee to more than 100000.
Then a lengthy investigation was
launched. Mott, who had been chair
man of the board Of directors, was
elected president in a general shake

MacDonald's visit is described as
purely mission of friendship,
and no treaty or alliance, written
or unwritten, is contemplated. The
only question upon which it is pos
sible for the American imperialists

their mutual hatred of the workers

from Britain at this time, escapes
accusations of his policy by discon-
tented elements at the labor party

petuate the illusion of success in the
foreign field in order to offset wide
spread working class discomfort as
result of the worsening of condi-
lions at home. He is trying to in
duce the workers to accept myth
cal victories in world diplomacy as
substitute for low wages, speed
up and unemployment at home.
