A rumor that suit for ST.

P. F. Collier and Son Com
pany, New York City, by K.
B. Creager, republican ma
tionaI committeeman from
Texas, has been current in
Brownsville several days.
Creager refuses either to
confirm or deny the report.
The suit, according to rumor, is
to be based upon the plea that the
Texas republican leader was llbeled

titled High Handed and He'll
Bent" which appeared in Golfers,
a weekly publication, on June ":
Papers are being prepared and the
suit likely will be filed within the
next few DAYS, according to reports.
It is said the publishers will be
asked to prove statements which
charge Creager with wrong doing
in connection with the primary cleo
tion in Hidalgo county in July, 1928.
The article was an attack on po-
litical methods allegedly used in Hi
dalgo county.
Il have nothing to say regarding
the possibility Of the suit nor re-
uardinp the article" Creager de-
clared Friday.
Sheriff A. Y. Baker Of Hldalgo
county, on whom White centered his
attack in the Golfers article, when
told over the telephone of the re-
port that Creager would file the libel
suit, said he had heard nothing OF
the matter. Sheriff Baker added
that he had reached no decision as
to what course he would pursue.
