FLETCHER BATTLE
 LOOMS IN SENATE
Members Oppose Confirmation Of
 Tariff Official

Washington, Nov. 19 (UP)-A light against confirmation Of Henry r. Fletcher of Pennsylvania as chairman Of the tariff commission appeared today as a likely develop mcnt in the session of the senate convenlng December l.
 Opposition to Fletcher. only ten tatiye at present. would center largely among western republicans the so-called progressive and ire qucntly insurgent group. Some form of protest from this quarter Was considered inevitable when Fletcher
 vas named last summer by Presl- dent Hoover.
 It is understood now that inquiry is being made by at least one intel ested western senator with q view to leading a vigorous sortic against Fletcher if the situation warrants. such a development would be dis lurbing to President Hoover for sey- cral reasons.
 There is reason 10 believe Nh Hoover had d difficult job finding for the chairmanship a man who met his requirements. Qualited men with wide business experience were loathe 10 assume a responsibility which was bound 10 invite crosa fire Of republican and democratic criticism.
 Fletcher and Mr. Hoover added 70 q considerable knowledge Of cacn other before the inauguration II 1929 when the Pennsylyanian ac- companicd the president-clert as a executive officer ami spokesman on the journey through south America.
 This possibility of real fight ou Fletcher is another factor contribu- ting 10 uncertainty regarding sp.- clal session Of congress after Marcn i. In all the uncertainty, hoWoyri nothing is more certain than thu the president, the regular rcpublicaa leaders and q considerab ble and inGu- antial number Of democrats do no, want d special session.

Question of Bobby Jones Eligibility 10 Sit in Association Councils, Is Brought Up.

New York, Nov. 19 CP, - Bobby Jones retirement has brought up an other interesting point-the question of his eligibility to continue to sit in the councils of the United States Golf association as a member of the executive committee.
 Informally at least, Herbert H. Ramsay, president-elect Of the as sociation. has taken the position that there is no reason why Jones with draWal from competition should per suade him to resign from the com mittee.
 Jones. who with Harrison +. (Jnlmy1 Johnston Of St Paul. has been the only player in recent times to be selected for the executive com mittce may resolve the whole prob lem by resigning. Close observers were of the opinion that he would do so when his term of office expires.

Tulsa, Okla, Nov. 19 P-Gcorge II. Hurford, 5G, wealthy bookmakcr, was safe at his country estate today after having spent s hours blind folded in the hands Of two kidnap- CTS. But the mystery of his abduc- ton remained,
 Hurford, authorities said, gave lit- lie information which would enable rhem 10 determine the motives or identity os the men who abducted him from his home Sunday night only 10 release hlm yesterday at Chetopa, kans.
 Decided They Were Wrong
 'Ic seems they had been misin- formed,' he said, and got the wrong man. We talked the thing over at length and they finally de rided they were mistaken. So they agreed 10 let me go"
 He asserted they had not asked a ransom or made any demands in re- turn for his freedom and he denied he had paid them anything.
 Hurtord said he was unable to explain why he was kidnapped.
 Released from his captors' auto mobile at q. m, Hurford was ar- rested for investigation by a Chctopa policeman. He appeared somewhat dazed, Chetopa officers said. and his identity was not established until they found his Oklahoma hunting It. Cense in a pocket of his clothing. Tulsa detectives were sent to Cheto- pa immediately and returned here with Hurford.
 Describes Events
 Seemingly none the worse for the experience Hurford told Of the cpl sode last n ght as he sat in the Iiv- ing room Of his luxurious home. He was still wearing the hunting clothes in which he was dressed Sunday night when he and Mrs. Hurford re- turned home 10 be met by two men. one Of tlum masked. who forced Hurford, at tho point Of a sawed off ~1o'gun. 10 accompany them Then they droy" all night, he said, most Of the next day and until , a. n.. m the fol1o"Ing morning when he WAS put out O, thr car at Chetopa.
