SOUTH OPPOSES
TESS CHOICE AS
C. O. P. CHIEF
Huston Resignation to Open
Fight to Win Control of
Party ReinS.

BIZ scripps-Hotcdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--When
members of the executive commit
tee assemble here Thursday to ac-
cept the resignation of Claudius H.
Huston as national chairman and
discuss the selection of Senator Fess
Rep., o. for the place, they will
face powerful southern G. o. P.
organization that openly defiieS the
administrations political reorgali-.
cation.
Meeting at Savannah Saturday,
the forces below the Mason and
Dixon line, led by Huston and Col.
Horace Mann in the 1928 contest,
outlined a program of opposition
to the policies of such administra-
ton spokesman as Postmaster
General Brown and James Francis
Burke, counsel of the executive
committee. They expressed conf
dence in Mann's leadership and an
nourced their plan of building up
southern G. O. P. along their OWE
lines. -
Hope to Win Control
Their plan is to combat the adj
mjnistration influence at every point
iii an effort to wrest control from
the Brown Burke Newton faction.
Should they prove unsuccessful in
this, they hope to cement a political
machine that will control the
souths 26O delegates at the next ma
tional convention. And they make
no effort to conceal their antag-
onism to the administration, even
though they would be willing to
make peace on their own terms or a
good compromise.
Though Mann did not attend the
conference, he took an active part
in arranging it. He and Houston
have not been playing together,
politically, for some time, and now
that Huston is on his way out, it is
not expected the chairman will be
regarded as a welcome addition to
the fold.
Program 10 Be Mapped
But all the ingredients of po-
litical controversy lasting through
Hoover's first term and into the bat
tie over his denomination are pres
ent.
The Mann group expects to have
observers on hand when the execu-
tive committee takes up the problem
of party reorganization, and there
may be conferences with Huston's
successor, or successors, concerning
the program they intend to follow
A last chance for peacemaking may
present itself soon.

HURLS CHARGE
OF VOTE FRAUD
DURING RECOUNT
Philadelphia Head Asserts
Effort Made to Change
Primary Results.

81 Jnifef Frcss
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-A con-
certed effort" TO change the results
Of the primary election in Philadel-
phia 20 favor the Brown-Davis
ticket was charged before the SEN
ate campaign committee today by
S. Davis Wilson, Philadelphia dep
uty comptroller.
wilson said a total of 1913 er-
rors lad been discovered by the re-
count in 319 divisions. Invariably
the changes we're in favor Of the
BroWn-Davis ticket, favored by the
city organization and against the
candidate opposed by the organiza-
ton. Wilson said.
The changes prove concerted
action in crediting votes to certain
candidates known as war board
candidates and taking away votes
from other candidates opposed by
the war board Wilson said.
New Marks for Davis
There was a concerted action TO
increase the vote of the Davis
Brown. ticket, comprising Secretary
Of Labor Davis as candidate Tor SEN
ator and Francis Skunk Brown as
candidate for Governor.
New marks on the ballots we're
invariably for Brown and DAVIS.
No case was found Of erasures OF
votes for either of them. They were
rot technical mistakes. They SHOW
concerted action"
Wilson said he had been following
the recount personally md believed
fraud existed in many districts.
Found at Head of Vote"
Most of the errors, he said, we're
found al the head of the ballot, and
in many cases it was evident the
nerson who marked the top OF the
ballot had not been the same per-
son who marked the lower part.
The answer to it ALL wilson
said. is that we have an organiza-
ton in Philadelphia dominated by
a certain group who have commu-
nitv interests with the heads OF
certain utilities and have mutual
interest in controlling the political
situation.
Tt is organization men who
count the ballots. Large pressure
is used by the organization IN the
poorer sections to control the
votes.
The ward leaders, Wilson charges,
are city employees who do their pest
10 make a good showing in order 10
retain their jobs.

The other day a complete vaudeville show was
transmitted by television, all the actors bling thrown
on the screen life-size. And none of them were
Singer midgets.
Nothing has caused such a sensation in the amuse-
ment world since the first moving pictures. The old
time theater magnates now realize more than ever
that the show business Of America is becoming simply
a branch Of the electric industry.
"
1t is entirely possible that the theater Of the fu-
ture will have no seats. 1t will simply wire the show
to the subscribers. If the show is q big hit the specu-
lators will buy up the electricity six weeks in advance.
Vaudeville performers are particularly cordial to the
television stunt. Vaudeville is in such a bad way in
this country today that 1t is doubtful whether even
electricity can revive 1t.
The audience who saw the vaudevilhans by tele-
vision last week registered no protest, Out u must De
remembered that the bill included no animal acts,
twin sister crooners or ventrioquists.
And there were no magicians on it, either. Showing
that the General Electric company knows where TO
stop.
once some OF these old-time vaudeville acts are put
on the television programs the public will figure out
a way to broadcast a tomato.
While the possibilities Of television in the theater
are great, the ultimate target is the great American
home and many a radio entertainer who is no treat
to the eye is dreading the day when it is perfected.
They know very well that a public, which has been
sold" on a radio performers voice, may not like his
face at all.
Ultimately television will bring pictures along the
