dent Hoover has said nothing to in
dictate he would prefer someone be-
sides Curtis. Curtis has said moth
ing SO far as is known to anyone
which would indicate what he in
tends to do. He says he has not de-
cided.
He has been moving around his
state, speaking, renewing old friend
ships, becoming acquainted with
younger party workers. He has been
aggressive in criticising the farm
boards wheat policy and in trying
to force the board to publicly pledge
itself not to sell its surplus wheat
until the price reaches IS cents.
Some Kansas friends say this ac-
tivity indicates he might be intended
to run for the senate. One of Mr.
Hoover's closest advisors says any
to cultivate his home ties periodical
ly. Washington has a large colony
of former senators and congress
men who neglected this political
spadework.
Attention will center upon at least
three persons as possible running
mates for Mr. Hoover, if Curtis
doesn't run. They are Secretary of
War Patrick J. Hurley of Oklahoma,
Senator Dwight w. Morrow of New
Jersey. and Theodore Roosevelt of
New York. governor of Porto Rico.
Hurley is a rousing campaigner,
democratic, rich and generous, liked
by Mr. Hoover.
Morrow is from the anti-prohibi-
ton east where democrats hope to
make their big attack. has the con-
fidence of a section of the business
world which has been regarded as
somewhat apathetic toward Mr.
Hoover, has won worldwide pres
tige as public man, and assisted
Mr. Hoover in the London naval con-
ference and the current reparations
negotiations.
Roosevelt impressed Mr. Hoover
with the work he has done in Porto
Rico, his name has political it,"
like Morrow he is opposed to federal
prohibition.

RROTHERS, STATE TO-NIGHJ


By all means don't fail to see Joe
E. Brown in the comedy hit of the
year "Broadminded" which closes
it's local engagement at Warner
Brothers state theater tonight
Funny play and funny players, add
ed to good story and expert di-
rection and photography, worked
like laughing gas, and set every
boy on the highboard to happy
town.
Joe E. outdoes even himself in
the unique character of timld fol-
lower of the eternal feminine, who,
by an odd turn Of fate Is made the
caretaker of a young roustabout with
money-whsoe father wants him
taken so far from the women that
he'll never think of them.
Joe E., appropriately named Ossie
Simpson, sets out for the West, with
his buddy in a baby Austin, and on
the road meets some OF the most as
tonishing adventures that ever befell
wayfarers anywhere. Ona Munson is
delightful as Constance, the pretty
girl who captures the heart of the
amorous gadabout, played by Will
liam Collier, Jr.
Marjorie White, with prettiness
and an unerring comedy sense, is the
object of the wide mouthed atten-
tions of Ossie. Holmes Herbert is
the millionaire papa who sends his
son on the road to more complica-

Livingston is the very modern girl
who sets her cap for the rich boy,

POLICEMAN WAS
OBSERVANT and
FOUND THE LOOT
28l Dresses We're Stolen
From Providence Store
and the Officer Located
Them in Vacant Tene=
ment

Providence, r. l., July 7-(UP)-
Dresses enough to outfit a fair-sized
women's college were stolen from
the Barnette shop on Charles street
here early today, but an observant
policeman brought about their re-
covery about an hour later.
Patrolman r. A. Bechard discov-
cred the break. He had all police
of Providence and surrounding COM
munities instructed to watch for the
thieves. Then he notified Mrs Emily
A. Fountaine, proprietress of the
shop, who found that PSI of 2S4
dresses she had in stock were taken.
Shortly afterwards Officer J. f.
Canning became suspicious of a
touring car, carrying three men,
which passed him. He followed it
afoot, and in scanning driveways to
ascertain if it had been parked,
noticed a dress on the ground in
the rear yard of a Union-Avenue
tenement.
The patrolman summoned other
officers from the Olneyville station,
and they found the missing dresses
heaped in a second-floor room. The
flat was unoccupied.
Authorities believed the thieves
included a woman, for fresh female
footprints were found in the yard.

Doherty, in a telegram to the gov

The Star took editorial cognizance
of Doherty's statement In its noon

"Evidently it was great relief to
Henry L. Doherty to speak his MIND
about Governor Woodring and the
