Repeal Group Claims Enough
to Swing Party to Wet
Side in Convention.

CITES HOOVER'S RECORD
Declares President Set Precedent
by Assuming Leadership During
Economic Crisis,
By the Associated Press

| BY the Associated Press
ALBANY, N. Y, September 25.-New
York Republican leaders striving to hold
their party in today's State convention
to its traditional dry policy and to
harmony with the national administra-
ton on prohibition announcements
labored against mounting tide of wet
sentiment.
Champions of repeal boosted that they
would control a clear majority on the
first ballot and that they would force
the choice of anti-prohibition candidates
and the insertion of platform plank
advocating repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
The fight over the prohibition plank
overshadowed all other issues and even
the candidates. Advocates of repeal
prophesied they would have between
500 and 700 of the 991 votes from the
outset.
futile Holds Interest.
The threat to the dry policy of the
party met uncompromising resistance
from drys outside the party, but lead
ers close to the national administra-
ton, while urging that the platform
remain in line with the dry attitude of
the party nationally, looked for no
widespread detection if the convention
should insist on a wet plank and wet
candidates.
Charles H. Tuttle, United States dis
trlct attorney, who advocates repeal of
the eighteenth amendment and the SUBJ
Stttution of an ,mendment enabling
State liquor control, held most of the
interest as the nominee for Governor.
The repeal forces were prepared to
support him, and many drys were not
ready to support for nomination At
torney General Hamilton Ward of
Buffalo, whose prohibition attitude was
not defined. The w. C. T. u, in an
effort to obtain a dry plank, declined
to throw its strength to Ward, preferrinR
to support third party candidate.
Wadsworth Leads Vets.
Former United States Senator James
w. Wadsworth, ehampioning cause
which was credited with costing him
reelection four years ago, led the repeal
forces.
State Chairman William J. Maier.
after four-hour conference of leaders
said nothing had been accomplished
toward a general agreement on the
repeal plank and that the proposal
would go to the Resolutions Committee
He hoped the matter would be settled

UNIONS PROTEST
WHITE HOUSE WORK
Painting Contract Explained
by Grant as Without Alter
native Under Law.

Protests against the employment OF
non-union labor in the repainting of
the White House this month have been
deluging Government officials to such
an extent that Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant,
Sd, director of public buildings and
public parks, who is directly responsible
to President Hoover for the upkeep of
the Chief Executives official residence,
was led today to make an official ex-
PLANTATION.
Col. Grant explained that the sue
cessful contractor, r. K. Ferguson, Inc,
of 2l2 B street, was the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, and that an investiga-
ton revealed that 1.-The wages paid by
this firm were equal to or higher than
those paid by the Government itself
under the personnel classification act,
as amended by the WEIGH and Brook
hart bills, for similar classes of work. "
Raises Legislation Question.
Pointing out the law limitations I'M
der which his Office operates. Col
Grant said 'if Government contracts
are to be awarded only to the employ
ers of union labor or those having
agreements with the union, legislative
action is necessary"
Asserting that his Office is mot
prone or inclined to give contracts to
the employers of non-union labor ex-
cept as required by the laws governing
administrative officers" Col. Grant in
sisted that for the White House alone
a total of $117,sO5 worth of work" has
been done by contracts entered into
since January l, and that this one
painting job, costing $4,000, is the only
one by a non-union contractor"
Col Grant made available the fol-
lowing memorandum:
This Office has received lately great
many protests against award of the con-
tract for painting the exterior of the
White House to r. K. Ferguson, Inc,
of 2l2 B street northwest, Washington,
