YOUNG PHIL IS CANDIDATE

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 15.-PA
Wisconsin, cradle Of the progressive
movement in Republican politics,
came today to the end of q primary
campaign unequaled In many years
for vigor and bitterness.
Tomorrow voters will nominate for
governor either Philip F. La Toilette,
son of the late Robert Marion La
Toilette, or Walter j. Kohler, the
millionaire manufacturer who swept
into office two years ago.
Third Of the line, Philip has sought
to maintain in power the faction his
father brought to full growth. Kohler
has worked to establish political
regularity and q realignment with
the national administration.
In this state, where the primary
campaigns always are turbulent af-
fairs, tomorrow's election has attract
ed so much interest that leaders Of
both groups predict an outpouring
equal to that Of 1928 when Herbert
Hoover was elected president.
Mr.. Hoover and his works have
been injected as an issue in the CAM
paign. Senator Robert M. La Toilette
Jr., speaking for his brother, has
linked Kohler with Hoover in placing
responsibility for unemployment and
the current business depression.

Governor Kohler, a conservative

La Toilette, 80, almost the picture
Of his father 80 years ago, has waged
a sparkling and aggressive campaign.
Kohler, SO, has relied on his record
in office, but the sensation he caused
by winning in 1928 has accrued to his
benefit. Both candidates oppose the

posed development at the earliest pos

whether the Canadian government
now finds itself In q position to ap-
point commissioners to discuss Jointly
with commissioners Of the United
States the details Of the seaway and
to formulate q treaty appropriate to
the purpose"

interrupted today by the request Of
Oscar e. Carlstrom, attorney general
Of Illinois. that he be permitted to
present q statement concerning the
attitude Of the state Of Illinois and Of
Representative Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick toward the senate committee.
\ The attorney general was imme-
diately invited into q private confer
ence with the three senators conduct
ing the session and upon their emer-
gence the hearing was adjourned until
Tuesday morning. At that time
Chairman Gerald p. Nye Of North
Dakota announced, Mr.. Carlstrom will
be permitted to read his statement.
No hint Of the contents Of the at
torney generals message was given.
Ruth Hanna Mccormick, Repub-

sion that she employed detectives to

remain here until the present sessions
are concluded.
Announcement that 50 kilograms
received by the Dannenberg detective
agency, hired by Mrs. McCormick to
shadow the North Dakota senator,
had been seized by committee opera

from Charles O. Rundall, attorney for
the Dannenbergs. He terms the COM
mittee's action an Outrageous inva-
sion" Of his clients rights, and said
the seizure of kilograms was the
equivalent Of breaking into his prt-

BROMLEY HALTED
IN HIS ATTEMPT
TO Span PACIFIC
Turns Back After Being Far Out
Over Water Because Of
Broken Feed Pipe .

Tanabe, Aomori, Japan. Sept 15.-
R-Still defying the series of mis-
fortunes preventing him from flying
across the Pacific, Harold L. Bromley
tonight told a Rengo News Agency re-
porter he would continue his efforts
to span the ocean to Tacoma by air
plane.
Bromley said a broken gasoline feed
pipe was the decisive factor In caus-
ing him to turn back and land here
today after having flown several hun
bred miles eastward in his attempted
nonstop. dash to Tacoma. but that
adverse elements" contributed to the
decision.
The break, Bromley said, was no.

night. suffering great discomfort.
Bromley's plane "City of Tacoma"
plowed deeply into the soft beach at
Shitsukari, II miles from here, but
escaped serious damage.
TAnabe Is the nearest railway and
telegraph station and the roads to
Shitsukari are impossible by automo-
bile.\ japanese experts said 1t would
take several days to dig the plane out
and refit 1t for the short flight to
Samishiro beach. It was the latter
place from which Bromley started
early Sunday, and the site which he
probably will choose II he takes off
again.
Covered 1900 Miles
The filters estimated they had COW
cred 1900 miles before turning back.
and had travelled q total Of 400
miles when they landed near here.
They said their gasoline supply would
have been sufficient to reach Dutch
Harbor, Alaska.
The monoplane was in the air "a
hours and 50 minutes.
Fear for the f1ier's safety had in
creased when no reports were received
after they began the hazardous flight.
Although the plane carried a wireless
set. operators on ships at sea and land
stations were unable to pick up Sig
mails from the fliers. It was believed
rain had disabled the radio set.
