HUSTON REVEALS
WHY He REFUSED
TO RESIGN PLACE
Charges Brought by Foes
to DiSCredit Hoover and
G. 0. p, He Says.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Why Claudius H. Huston, chairman
declines to resign from that ONCE has
just been disclosed by him in a con-
fidential letter to the members of the
committee. 1t Is dated May 90, 1890,
roundly, two weeks.
This writer has had access to its
contents and reproduces the letter
with Chairman Illusions permission.
He brands as absolutely false" the
chief charges" which were leveled at
him this Spring as a result Of dis
closures before the Senate lobby in
vestigating ommittee-namelyQ ), that
before he became Republican national
chairman he was congressional lob
byiSt, and (2) that he diverted funds
belonging to the Tennessee River I'M
provement Association for speculative
purposes In New York.
Sees Campaign Aimed at G. o. p.
Mr.. Huston contends that "a cam
paign to injure the Republican national
organization" according to information
conveyed to him from a reliable quar-
ter, was scheduled to set in soon after
he assumed the Craftsmanship. Its pur-
pose was to discredit not only the COM
mittee and its chairman, but the Hoo
yer administration Realizing the mo
tive of these attacks" Mr.. Huston in
forms members of the national COM
mittee that he has declined to be
"stampeded" His letter, which follows
textually, conveys no suggestion that
his resignation is in sight, either now
or later.
This is the form of letter the chair
man dispatched to members OF the
national committee:
In view of the misleading publicity
directed against me in recent months
by political enemies, I wish to give to
the members of the Republican national
committee and others interested the
following facts:

ger Of sinking. She remained there I'M
til after daylight and then started
slowly for her pier in Boston.
Relatives Visit Pier.
Soon after radio news broadcasts had
spread the report of the disaster rel
atives of passengers began to gather ut
the company's pier here. Details OF
the accident were meager, and 1t was
not known who had been injured
or lost. AS the Gloucester slowly picked
her way through the fog to the dock
the relatives searched the faces of the
survivors lining the rail OF the rescue
ship.
Doctors. nurses and ambulances were
at the pier awaiting the Gloucester.
The arrival of the rescue ship with
its cargo of injured and stunned wit
neSses to the tragedy was vastly diff
ferent from the return of most ships
carrying vacationers. Nurses, their hair
diSheveled and their faces showing the
strain of their work, stood beside their
patients. They had worked hard on
board the Fairfax tending the injured.
The injured we're carried or led down
the gangplank to waiting ambulanceS
and were taken to the Carney Hospital.
Then the uninjured came to join friends
and relatives or to seek telephone and
telegram stations to wire news of their
safety home.
The body of a woman, who died
aboard the Gloucester while the latter
was coming up the harbor, was taken
to the Northern mortuary. She was
said to have declared she came from
Maynard and to have mentioned the
names of Ellsworth and either Dearborn
or Osborne. No such names, however,
appear on the passenger list.
Attempt Checking List.
A check-up of the passenger list was
started by the company officials as soon
as the passengers had been landed In an
effort to determine who was missing.
Mrs. M. Brooks, who had been re-
ported by her son as missing when
he did not see her come off the Glou-
ceSter, later was found at the Carney
Hospital. Her daughter Mary was not
at the hospital and was believed among
the missing.
D. r. Mcneil of Baltimore, vice presi-
dent of the Merchants g. Miners Trans
portation Co., issued an informal state
ment soon after the rescue ship Glou-
ceSter docked.
He said the Fairfax was proceeding
in dense fog and that an explosion

REED W|THHOLDS
TARIFF DECISION
Senior Pennsylvania Senator
Scheduled to Talk With
Hoover Today.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator David A. Reed Of Pennsylva-
mia, supposed to hold the deciding vote
on the tariff bill conference report, to-
day continued to decline to say how he
would vote on that report.
The senior Senator from Pennsylvania
was scheduled to speak in the Senate to-
day and break his silence on the tariff
bill.
II have almost decided how J will
vote, but not quite" said Senator Reed.
In some quarters, it was insisted today
that Reed would vote AYE" and that
Senator Grundy, his colleague, also
would support the conference report.
Reed was to talk with President
Hoover about the tariff bill later in the
day. The Pennsylvania Senator had a
long conference yesterday afternoon
with Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
and Senator Grundy on the tariff bill.
It has been reported that Mellon was
hostile to the bill, but he has made no
public statement to that effect.
Grundy Doesn't Like Bill.
Grundy frankly characterizes the bill
as the worst Republican tariff measure
since 1894. He, too, has not said finally
how he will vote. 1t Is possible that
Senator Grundy may take the floor and
express his own views on the bill which
has been labeled by the Democrats the
"Grundy billion dollar tariff bill"
Yet, Grundy does not like the bill be-
cause, he says it does not go FAR
enough in the matter of protection for
Pennsylvania industries. That being
the case, he does not relish having his
name attached to the measure.
II Reed and Grundy vote for the tar
i'll conference report, it is expected to be
adopted, though by a narrow vote. Il
they vote against it, the conference re-
port may be defeated. There are vary
| ing views as to whether a defeat OF TIT
| conference report would result in finally
; killing tariff legislation at this time.

BROOKHART OBJECTS
TO HANFORD M'NIDER
Nomination Is Sent to Senate
Without Recommendation
by Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS
The nomination of Hanford Mac
Nider of Iowa as Minister to Canada
was reported to the Senate without
recommendation" today by the Senate
foreign relations committee, after SEN
ator Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa,
objected to the nomination as per
sonally offensive" to him.
Such an objection by Senator from
the State of a nominee usually goes a
long way in the Senate, and just what
will result from Brookharts complaint
against MacNider was problematical.
Some Senators believed it would at
least block action at this session.
Brookhart and MacNider are both
Republicans, but bitter political foes.
Each supported President Hoover in the
1928 campaign.
Brookhart confined his remarks to-
day to saying the nomination was per
Sonally offensive"
IT will have plenty to say when the
nomination is considered" he added.
Il think there are other objections"

The first and for hours the only news
| to reach the outside world of what had
occurred in the fog came in terse
message from Capt. Archibald Brooks,
commander of the Fairfax, who asked
| that ambulanceS and medical aid be
| held in readiness here for the arrival
of the first survivors.
Later it became known that 10
| passengers had either persisted or were
unaccounted for and that Is members
! of the crew we're missing. OF the
latter, a majority was reported to have
been colored stewards, who leaped to
death in the flaming, oil-coated water
in the first moments after the impact.
Five other passengers are expected to
die
1t was 7:05 pm, Eastern standard
time, when the crash occurred, barely
! two hours after the Fairfax had left
| her pier and crept down the harbor.
| The steamship Gloucester of the
same line followed her out three hours
later and was the first to receive word
: of the accident. Racing through the
fog she drew alongside the Fairfax and
the passengers of the wrecked ship were
| transferred to her. Shortly after day
| light they landed at the pier in Boston
Not until the arrival of the passengers
did the full horror of the disaster be-
come known.
| Stories of the disaster, as told by
passengers and crew upon their arrival
| in Boston, pictured the scene that fol-
| lowed the crash.
The Fairfax, they said, had been
poking slowly through the fog, moving
at barely half its normal speed of IL
knots. Almost without warning, there
was a crash as it plowed into the tanker.
Blazing oil flowed out over the sur
| face of the sea and surrounded the
ship. 1t showered her sides and dropped
on the deck, splaShing upon the passen-
gers and sailors who were outside at the
time.
The explosion, according to the pas
sengerS, tore the tanker to pieces and
within a few minutes the last piece
had sunk from sight leaving a fam
ing sheet of oil on the surface of the
| sea.
Victims Jump in Sea.
| Apparently in panic and crazed by
| their burns, several persons leaped into
| the blazing sea. Among the seven pas
sengers who were missing were four
women. Eleven members of the crew
disappeared.
There was no opportunity to render
aid either to those who jumped over
board or to those aboard the wreck
| ed tanker The flames and the fog
swept them from sight.
Passengers aboard the Fairfax were
in confusion, but order was restored
within a short time and, according to
officers of the ship, all further danger
| had passed within 80 minutes of the
| collision.
Confusing reports as to the identity
| of the tanker arose as soon as news OF
the disaster reached Boston. A wire
less message picked up by the Coast
Guard reported it as the Grecian and
later reports gave it as the Pinthis
operating out of Fall River. Neither
report could be Immediately confirmed
or disproved.
The Fairfax was stopped Immediately
and then anchored until the extent OF
the damage could be determined. It
was found that large hole had been
ripped in her side by the impact with
the tanker, but that she was in no dan
