PARTY LEADERS
ASK SCALP
Of CHIEF
Chairman's Lobbying Hurts
Party Treasury as G. o. P.
Faces Coming Elections
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

By GEORGE r.. HOLMES
After two weeks of hectic ma

Huston is still chairman of the
Republican national committee,
and he will remain in that post, it

DAY, until such time as he can
retire with dignity"
Appeals from party leaders to
the President to take direct &C
tlon for removal of the Republican
chairman have come to naught.
After some days of hesitation, dur
ing which 1t is understood Mr..
Hoover was considering taking the
advice of party ,chieftains, he has
at last decided to keep hands off.
Up to Leaders
The President is said to take
the position that If the party lead
ers want to behead Chairman Hus.
ton for his lobbying and other &C
tivities, it is UP to them, not to
him, to do it. The approaching
campaign after all it has been
pointed out, means more to them
than it does 20 the White House.
To this. the retort Of party
leaders has been that President
Hoover personally selected Hus-
ton for the craftsmanship after
the retirement of DR.. Hubert
Work, and IL he is to be removed
the White House should do it.
Huston, these leaders have urged,
was not the committees choice
for the Craftsmanship. Mr.. Hoover
indicated he wanted the Tennes-
sean appointed and the COM
mittee obligingly acquiesced.
The inner Republican row over
whether Huston will go or stay
has aSusmed large proportions in
the past few days.
Worried Over Campaigns
The approach of the campaign
and the absolute necessity for
ooth-ruhning national organiza-
ton to collect funds for proSecu-
ton Of a score OF hard party
fights in November is the spectre
that is haunting Republican
candidates of high and low de
gree. Preliminary efforts at col
lection of funds for party work
has been retarded by the uncer-
tainty over Huston's status. The
Treasury is not in a robust con-
dition for campaign purposes.
The situation, however, has
reached a stalemate, with Con-
gressional leaders and the White
House both awaiting each others
move.
Meanwhile, the Senate is pre-
pairing to. stage a Roman holiday
over Muscle Shoals and Chair

.DANROSCH PAYS
. FRAU WAGNER
TRIBUTE
Widow Of Famous Composer
Mourned by Music Lovers;
Ashes to Be Near Husband

NEW YOkGA, ApTM 41Nr0l
Walter Damrosch, world-famed
conductor and composer and lead
ing authority In the United States
on the life and music Of Richard
Wagner, today paid tribute to
the memory of Frau Cosima Wag.
ner. 92-year-old widow Of the
genius composer. who died at
villa Wahnfried, her home in
Bayreuth, Germany, yesterday.
visibly affected by the news Of
Frau Wagner's passing, Damrosch
swept away the mists of half a
century to recall his intimate as
Sociation with the "grande dame"
of German music. He was pre-
sented to her more than a genera
ton ago by her father, Franz
Liszt, one of the worlds greatest
composers.
so she, too, Is dead" he al
most whispered.
Last Link
"She was the last human link
we had with the great Wagner
and his epoch, an age of giants
inspired by his music" he began.
Asked what his impressions Of
CoSima Wagner were Damrosch
said, "She was an intellectual and
dynamic woman with marvellous
executive ability and will power
She took a great deal of the
practical side off Wagrter's S
shoulders. His monumental and
complete autobiography was one
of the results of Cosima'S sys-
tematic nature.
She adored him, understood
him perfectly" DamroSch said,
and for a moment stood musing,
looking back perhaps into the
golden age" of music.
Wagner was the last Of the
great musical genii-moSt modern
artistic talent is turned into the
drama" he sighed.
BAYREUTH, Germany, April 2
GN.So o.-Music lovers from far
and near came to Bayreuth today
to join members of the family
and neighbors in mourning at the
bier of Frau CoSima.
Her son Siegfried, who has been
conducting at La Scala, in Milan,
may come for the funeral.
Frau CoSima's body will be
cremated at Coburg Friday and
an urn containing her ashes will
be placed beside the tomb Of her
husband in Bayreuth.
