HUSTON MAY RESIGN
 AT SESSION MONDAY
C. 0. P. Chairman Calls Meeting-Rumor He
 Will Quit Office

Washington, June 2S CUP) - Chairman Claudus H. Huston of the republican national committee be- came the center of political interest here again today as a result of his sudden call for a meeting with of fiCers of his committee and chair men Of the senatorial and congress sional campaign committees. It will be held at republican headquarters here
 Speculation immediately arose as 10 the possibility Of Huston announc- ing his resignation at the meeting. which was set for week from Mon day, as a dramatic climax to the at tacks upon him for his lobbying ae- tivities and alleged stock market speculation.
 In his letter 10 the party leaders. Huston said he wanted to discuss some matters of importance con- corning the forthcoming campaign on which I prefer to have your counsel and advice" Republicans face a stiff fight in the congression- al elections this fall
 An emissary of the young Turk" group, which is composed of the younger Hoover supporters in the senate, went to him and discussed the matter with him some months ago, during the senate lobby investi- gation, but little has been said since that time. Only recently, Huston wrote letter to members of the national committee defending him self from the senatorial charges and denying them in detail.
 His resignation would have to be acted upon by the full national com mittee, though he could naturally submit it first 10 President Hoover who designated the appointment. The congressional and senatorial campaign chairmen have nothing officially to do with his position.
