Further difficulties for the depoS- ed Rev. Peter J.

Mackey Recognizes PennsylYa-
 nian as Party'S Nominee

Philadelphia, July 23 (Pp-Mayor Harry A. Mackey and his friends in the local republican organization have recognized Clifford Pinchot as the republican nominee for gover- nor despite the action of the faction supporting Francis Shunk Brown in challenging the former governors nomination on the ground of Illegal ballots cast in Luzerne county.
 Guest al Dinner
 MT. Pinchot was the guest of honor at the port Of Pennsylvania Pan-American" dinner given by MT. MaCkey at the Bellevue Stratford hotel last night In introducing him, the mayor referred to Pinchot as the man who recently was nomi- mated by the republicans as goyer- nor of Pennsylvania" and a moment later Richard Weglein, director of Wharves, docks and ferries. and an influential factor in the republican organization, addressed Pinchot as governor" in appealing TOT finsn- tldI SupHO1J IOI lIle port.
 Mayor Mackey's stand was con- sidered important in view of the Lu- zerne ballot case, argument on which is to be heard by the state supreme court on August 19. On the face of the returns from the May Shunk Brown by approximately 20,- 900 votes. Supporters of Brown re- fused to recognize Pinchot as the nominee, claiming that the paper ballots cast in Luzerne county. where Pinchot had a plurality of about 26,000, were unlawful be- cause Of perforations. Should the supreme court uphold this conten- tion Brown would he the nominee by 8 plurality Of 5000.
 Will Create Committee
 Mir. Pinchot told Mayor Mackey and his guests last night that when he 'becomes governor" he would ask the legislature 10 create a greater Pennsylvania committee. , in an effort 10 relieve the farmer, remedy unemployment. promote manufacturing and industry. and in general 10 help in thinking out, planning and executing measures that will promote the prosperity Of all our people" He said the con1- mittee would include leaders in transportations, shipping agricuI- ture. industry, labor and commerce from all parts of the state.

CANCER PRODUCED
 WITH TEST TUBES
Human Disease Cells Used in
 Research Work by Wood

New York, July 23 P-Growing cancer artifcially and the hopes It offers were described today by Dr. Francis Carter Wood, director of Crocker Cancer Research Institute of Colum bia university.
 Dr. Wood sails on the Mauretania today to attend at Amsterdam the International Congress of Experi- mental Cytology. These men work with live cancer cells, one of the latest developments in cancer study, which began with learning how 10 graft cancer upon animals and raise it artificially. Now start has been made at growing human can- cers in glass tubes.
 Start At Beginning
 we are starting" said Dr. Wood to do what Pasteur did when he bacteria artificially. work upon which are based some Of medicine S greatest advances.
 We know no cancer bacterium or germ; but we have, and can see with a microscope, the cancer cell. It causes cancer, and does so plain !y by ability to grow much faster than normal body cell.
 But for 5000 years we have beNl compelled 10 work with dead can- cer cells. Now for the first time we have them alive, and capable of producing cancer. We wish to know why they grow so fast, something we never shall know until we ac- tually sec them growing.
 We can study now how fast a rapidly it uses oxygen, whether thi, is more or less rapid than the rate of a normal cell Any difference in rate might become point for a new attack on cancer.
 Seek Information On Poison
 Some bacteria cause disease Try the poisons they produce. We seek to learn whether cancer cells pro- duce poisons, or equally important to know for certain that they do not. If we find such a poison then we wish to know whether it acts the same after it has been produced un- der artificial conditions If it dit- fers, this discrepancy again is a point for attack on the cancer mys- tery.
 We know that some human can- cers are helped by x-rays. We have also some evidence that x-rays kill rapidly growing normal cells about as fast as cancer cells. We suspect that the benefits of the x-ray are due to rapid growth of cancer cells a production rate that causes mere of them 10 be killed by the x-rass. It is important to find out definitely the reasons for X-ray effects. Serum Works On Rats "Cancer serum can be made that will seemingly cure a cancer on ] rats leg, but the leg has to be liza tured to retain the serum. So thus far there is no apparent method oi making such a serum useful for hu- man beings. Raising the cells ar. tificially will assist in the study O. this serum field"
 ! Dr. Wood plans to visit the h. stitute of Curie in Paris and canca. research institutions in England. H, will also have contacts in the in- terest of the newly established Pathological Research Institution an American organization and for the Institute of Health created by act Of congress.
