Wilmington. Del, Sept. Il CP) - Irenee Du Pont. vice chairman of the board of directors of the E. I. Du Pont De Nemours company, has announced he will neither support nor contribute to the election of the nominees of the republican party selected at Dover on Tuesday.
 Scoring the party of Delaware for disregarding the prohibition issue by nominating candidates for the senate and congress who are either "dry or straddlers," MT. Du Pont in a letter to former United States Sen ator Thomas F. Bayard, wet demo- cratic candidate for United States senator said 'in my estimate, you are the best man for senator"
 The republican convention renom- mated Senator Daniel o. Hastings for senator and Congressman Robert G. Houston for congress and adopted a dry platform ...

CRATER REWARD {
 CALLED ILLEGAL
Walkers Suggestion Ruled Out
 By Board Of Aldermen

New York, Sept. Il (UP)-Plans of city authorities to aid the search for Supreme Court Justice Joseph F. Crater by offering a $5,o00 reward and holding An investigation appear ed beset by legal difficulties today.
 Mayor James J. Walkers sugges- tion that the board of aldermen vote a $5,000 reward and sell city bonds to raise the money appeared to have no precedent
 Similarly, District Attorney Thomas c. T. Grains request that John Doe proceedings be held be- fore a city magistrate drew from Chief Magistrate Joseph E. Corrigan the comment that if anyone could quote legal authority for such action he would be only too glad to ac- quiesce. N -
 Crater, who has been missing just five weeks and a day, is accused of no crime, and this fact makes the offering of rewards and investiga- tions invalid.
 The disappearance of the justice created a mystery which no one has been able to solve. Police, in their investigation, not only could not find the slightest trace of where he might have gone, but could not dis cover any motive for the act.
 Crater has not been seen since August 6, when he cashed' checks for a total of s5.500, destroyed some papers in his chambers, put other documents in his pocket, and went out to buy ticket to a Broadway show. He did not attend the show, although his seat was occupied. Po- lice do not know who used the ticket.

The combination of a club of picked singers under a skilled conductor, capable soloists. and string en- semble for both individual numbers and in accompanying the club, seems to have solved a major diff culty in the production of acceptable concerts. Last Wednesday we gave our public a fine choral concert, a splendid tenor recital. and d galaxy Of string quartet numbers, all rolled

 AS a result we face next season with confidence. The club, l am as- sured, has been enthused over the splendid success achieved and from all sides I hear reports that we have earned the good will and con- fdence of the musical public.
