paign Funds Committee said today he
believed the committee had full author
ity to investigate the 1928 anu-Smith
expenditures of Bishop James Cannon.

South.
Bishop Cannon has challenged the
committees right to investigate the use
he made of sos 900 turned over to him
by E. c. Jameson of New York in 1928
to oppose Alfred E. Smith, the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate, in Viz
ginia
From what consideration I have
given to Bishop Cannon's contention"
Chairman Nye said, II am convinced
the committee has every right to pro-
ceed."
Nye said, however, he would place the
Bishops protest before the committee
as soon as he could get it together. A
meeting was scheduled for today, but
the chairman was not sure a quorum
could be obtained.
Two members are in Washington and
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, who would complete the quorum,

Alfonso, and fifth Of the Carlist line of
pretenders, today laid claim TO the
Spanish throne in q published mani
1esto, which said: Remember, / am
always ready to help Spain avoid an

He asked the Spanish people to de-
clare in the approaching elections
whether they are republican or mon
Archist, and, inviting them to favor the
latter, said that the resulting monarchy
need have no relations with the former
regime, but could be renewed, progress

King above parties. Even the Repub-
ncans admit that a great part of the
Spanish people favor the monarchy. It
is unjust to suppress the monarchy be-
cause one King does not know how to
make his people love him"

MOVEMENT HELD FUTILE.
Bishops Office Gets Word Of Attack
Through Press.

ANY movement to Dust Bishop Can
non through pressure in the College OF
Bishops is viewed as a rather futile
gesture in informed Methodist quarters
here.
Further, it was pointed out, the
presidency of the college embodies only
a nominal authority, such. as calling
sessions of the bishops and then pre-
siding at such gatherings.
Bishop Cannon is "out of Washings
ton" it was said at his Office this
morning. and the first information had
there of the present movement came
through news dispatches.
