CANNON QUITS QUIZ
AMIDST APPLAUSE,
Kisses AND M|RTH
Lobby Committee to Take No
Legal Steps at Present
to Force Answers.
M. E. LEADER SAYS
HE AWAITS SUMMONS
Statement Declares Probe Holds
Him in False Light-Con-
tempt, Says Walsh.

BY the Associated Press.
Bishop James Cannon, jr., walked
out on the Senate lobby committee to-
day, and his questioners decided to take
no legal steps for the present to bring
him back.
The committee will not meet again
until next Wednesday, and meantime
1t expects neither to issue a subpoena
nor begin contempt proceedings to
punish the Southern Methodist leader
for his refusal to testify about his anti
Smith campaign activities in 1928.
AS he Withdrew, unexcused, and fol-
lowed by applause, Kisses and laughter,
Cannon flung back at the committee
another challenge of its authority. He
had appeared voluntarily, he said, mac
answered\all the questions ne considered
proper and was through unless the SEN
ators chose to formally subpoena him
Chairman Caraway, who agrees with
Cannon that he should not be ques-
toned about his leadership in the anti
Smith campaign, will return to wash
ineton Tuesday. On the following DAY
the full committee expects to make It's
decision.
Contempt" Says Walsh.
After the adjournment Senator Walsh
of Montana. the acting chairman, told
newspaper men that he regarded Can
non as "in plain contempt of the Sen
ate"
walsh said in his opinion, Cannon's
refusal to answer opened the way TO
one possible contempt proceeding, wnle
his withdrawal today constituted a sec
ond basis for a contempt charge.
Although Cannon had appeared vol
UNFAIRLY. Walsh held that once having
placed himself under committee Jurls-
diction, he could not withdraw until
excused.
The Montanan added there might be
doubt as to the committees authority
to INQUIRE into Cannons political &C
Invites, but there was no doubt the
withdrawal today amounted to con-
tempt.
Warning by Walsh.
walsh of Montana warned the wit
ness that he was not excused and that
his case would be dealt with later.
Whether he is to be held in contempt
of the Senate probably viii be decided
on the return OF CHAIRMAN Naia"aS
from Arkansas. :,
with no witness before 1t, the COM
rnittee proceeded to put into the Record
various reports relating to the ANU
Smith campaign.
one of them listed various sources OF
contributions, but did not mention the
S65 900 which E. c. Jameson OF New
York says he contributed.
For two successive days, Bishop Can
non had been appearing as voluntary
witness, having asked the committee
for a hearing. On these two days, ne
had refused to answer questions about
his expenditures in the Virginia anti
smith campaign in 1928, thus pre-
sentine the committee with poser, It's
members having divided on the cues
Today' at the outset of the hearing,
the bishop broadened his refusal 70
