PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-Candi-
dates in the bitter factional fight that
has divided Pennsylvania Republicans
as seldom before awaited the decision
Of the electorate at the polls today.
While the Republicans were engaged
in one of the hardest struggles that has
ever engulfed the party, the Democrats
were without contest on the State
wide ticket.
Candidates to be voted for at the No
vember election are to be nominated for
United States Senator, governor, and
other State offices. Both major parties
will choose nominees for Congress In
every district.
The big contests centered on the can
didates for United States Senator and
governor, with the wet issue cutting
into the calculations in way that led
seasoned observers to hesitate about
forecasting the result.
For the senatorship, Joseph r..
Grundy is battling to retain the seat to
which he was appointed by Gov. Fisher
when william s. Ware was rejected by
the Senate. Opposing Grundy are Sec
Rotary of Labor James j. Davis, backed
by the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh or
CARNATIONS, and Francis H. Bohlen, pro-
fessor in the Law School Of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania.
All Are Protectionists.
Grundy and Davis are standing on
the enforcement plank adopted at the
last Republican national convention and
are listed as drys Bohlen advocates
repeal of the eighteenth amendment,
the Volstead act and the State en-

running without public-announced al
liances with any other candidate His
opponents, however, have maintained
that he had a secret understanding
with Clifford Pinchot who seeks the
gubernatorial nomination.

PITTS FACES H|Tz
IN CONTEMPT CASE
Former Smith Company Head
Charged With Neglect
of Subpoena.

G.. Bryan Pitts, former chairman Of
the board of directors of the r. H.
Smith Co., appeared today before Jus
tice william Hitz to show cause why he
should not be punished for alleged con-
tempt of court for failure to obey q
subpoena served on him to appear as
q witness before the referee in bank
ruptcy in the Boyle Robertson Con-
struction Co. bankruptcy case last De-
cember.
The defense Of Pitts to the contempt
citation rested on two grounds. He
commended that the real purpose in
bringing him to washington was to
obtain from. him information wanted
by the Department of Justice in its
criminal prosecution Of the F. II. Smith
Co. and not because he was in position
to give testimony material to the bank
ruptcy case.
He also insisted that although i'll
health prevented him from coming to
Washington from Florida at that time,
he offered to pay all the incidental
expenses and was at all times willing
to give his testimony to representa-
tive of the court If the latter would
come to him in Florida.
bankruptcy Referee Testifies.
The first witness was Fred j. Eden,
referee in bankruptcy. Answering ques-
lions put by Assistant District Attorney
Neil Burkinshaw, Eden said that Pitts
had never appeared before him and
that the Boyle-Robertson case is still
pending.
Cross-examination was taken by
Frank G. Raichle of New York. who Is
associated with Wilton j. Lambert and
Rudolph Yeatman as defense counsel.
Raichle asked Eden II 1t were not
| true that Department of Justice agents
| wanted him to subpoena Pitts so that
| they could get certain books and
records of the Smith Co. that were
needed In the criminal prosecution.
Eden said that Department OF Justice
men had urged that Pitts be brought
back to Washington, but denied they
asked that something be done to en-
barrass Pitts"
Eden Admits Offer.
. Eden admitted that Pitts had offered,
| through his counsel, to pay the expenses
| Of q representative of the court If the
latter would come to Florida and take
his testimony. He also said he was
shown a doctors certificate which stated
that Pitts physical condition was such
that 1t would be unsafe for him to make
the trip to Washington.
| John j. Clarkson, deputy United
States marshal, testified that he served
Pitts with the bankruptcy case subpoena
when he came here December IL to post
I bond on an indictment charging him
and others with conspiracy to use the
mails to defraud He said that Pitts re-
fused to accept the subpoena.
! Pitts, IN his answer, contended that
ct the time he was not citizen of the
District, and that as he had come here
in answer to criminal process he could
not be served with q subpoena In a civil
case. He said he had been informed by
his counsel that he would be immune
from such service and for that reason
refused to accept the subpoena.

Weather Bureau Expands Service to Meet Needs
 of Aerial Transport

The advancement of the Nome station from a second to a first class Weather Bureau station anc the establishment of a first class aerological station, center of net work of reporting stations, was an nounced today by Meteorologist R c. Mize. c. J. McGregor, who ar rived here early this week will be in charge of the Nome work
 He will have one assistant whc will go to nome on the first sailing of the Victoria, which will also car ry all the necessary equipment for the station. MT. McGregor will leave here next week for Seward and Fairbanks and will fly from there to Nome.
 The station will be equipped with modern instruments for it's astrological work It will do balloon testing for wind direction and ve- locity, being the first Alaska sta tion to do this sort of work The Fairbanks station will be equipped for it in the near future, MT. Me Gregor said.
 Attached to Nome will be some 12 or 15 reporting stations located north, south and east, including Teller, Kotzebue, St. Michael, Holy Cross, Nulato and other towns where communication can be had by wireless or phone. They will make three reports daily on flying and weather conditions. Fair banks will have 25 such stations reporting to it similarly.
 The Weather Bureaus intention is to give Alaska an a d equa Q weather reporting service for the airplane industry, MT. McGregor said. It will endeavor to cover the field fully and supply the airplane companies and pilots with all pos sible data on weather and flying conditions.
 No branch of the Government service has expanded in recent years as rapidly as the astrological work which the Weather Bureau prforms, MT. McGregor said. Fifty to 75 stations of the first class have already been established and more are being added almost daily to keep pace with the development of commercial aviation expansion. It is estimated there are at least 1000 reporting stations furnishing report on conditions on the aerial routes and on areas not covered by air routes but which affect them. In some sections hourly reports are broadcast for the benefit of the aviation industry.
