the study of the federation.
In order to remove the Obiec-
ton TO the plan offered by some
Of the statesmen that some day

ing a guard during his escape
from the Maryland Penitentiary,
today was identified, police

The police said Owen identified
Whittemore when he was brought
before his hospital cot.
Whittemore is in solitary con-

tempt yesterday to emulate his
brother by shooting his way out
Of the Maryland penitentiary.
"Dick" Whittemore escaped the
prison in 1925 by killing a guard
but was returned and hanged on
August 13, 1926, for the murder.
The plan didn't work. The
rope with which Whittemore and
eight other convicts, including
three 'lifers." hoped to scale the
high wall didn't catch its hooks
on top Of the wall.
Guard Shot Down
Whittemore also blundered,
prison officials said, when he
tried to hold up Guard Arthur
F. Owen with a wooden pistol
and seize his gun. In the tussle
the guards pistol went off and
the report attracted other guards.
Owen fell groaning with a bullet
wound in his stomach. = His con-
dition Is serious.
Whittemore and three conpan-
ions ran across the yard and
fired several wild shots at guards,
while five other prisoners who
had planned to join Whittennore
in the break, took refuge behind
a boiler in the laundry.
Police Inspector Stephen G..
Nelson and Capt. i'll. Mintiens
exposed themselves to the pistol
held by one of the convicts and
reasoned with them III would be
advantageous to them If they SUR
rendered. Outside several hun
dred policemen were ready to
open fire on the convicts il neces-
Sary. The police said one Of the
conVictS, whose name was not
mentioned, turned over q pistol
that had been sauggled him.

In Ohio the Democrats adopted

since Robert j.. Buckley, q drip

eefiA Atoriai nomination in the pri-

really comprised the views Of
Bulkley and George White, a dry,
who won the Democratic g1ibel-
Material noraSaation.
IN New York, where Congress
sional nominations headed the
list, both vets and drys were
victorious. 1t appeared that the
Republican and Democratic or
Raaizations nominated their IA
vofites regardless of their views
on prohibition. The drys, how.
ever. were conforted by the fact
that some Of their outstanding
New York representatives, includ-
ing James S. Parker in the
Twenty-ninth district, and Frank
Crowther in the Thirtieth dis
trict, won against vets. In New
York City, though. the vets were
uniformly successful.

Aside from the primary and
convention results, the vets were
gleeful over two other develop

The vets seemed to have gained

They held their own in MaSsa-
