C. 0. P. COMMITTEE
!. TO CONVENE DEC. Is
Site and Time of National
Convention Next Year
to BE Chosen.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Republican National Committee
was today called by Chairman Fess to
meet at the Willard Hotel at 2 pm,
Tuesday, December Is.
The formal call was sent out by Sena-
tor Tess to the members of the commit
tee today. The letter was brief, merely
stating that a number of important
matters are to be considered and urg-
ing the members of the committee to
be on hand.
At this committee meeting the city in
which the Republican National Con-
vention will be held next year is to
be selected. The committee also will
pick the time for the meeting of the
National Committee. -
AppOrtiOnment to Come Up.
Among the other matters of import
ance expected to come before the COM
mittee are questions relating to the ap-
portionment of the delegates among
the various States in view of the recent
reapportionment of the House of Repre-
SentativeS.< The committee also prob
ably will discuss ways and means for
meeting the necessary expenditures OF
the national organization from De-
cember until the national convention
is held and perhaps for the campaign
itself
The question of the Craftsmanship of
the Republican National Committee has
for the time being taken out of the
realm of speculation by the announce
ment made last week by Senator Fess
of Ohio that he would continue as
chairman until the national conven-
ton is held next year and the candi-
date for President nominated. Senator
Tess repeated today his intention of
holding on as chairman at the request
of the party leaders, until next June.
Unless he changes his attitude, there
seems no likelihood he will continue as
chairman after the Republican conven-
ton has selected candidate for Presi-
dent.
Victory for HOLSTER Seen.
The call for the meeting of the Re-
publican National Committee comes on
the eve of election day, with five va
cancies in the House to be filled, two
of them in Ohio. Senator Tess said to-
day he was confident the Republicans
| would elect their candidate, John B.
HOLSTER in the first Ohio district,
which for so long a time was repre-
sented in the House by the late Speaker
Nicholas Longworth.
IT have heard from many sources, !"
said Senator Tess. that Mr.. HOLSTER
will defeat his Democratic opponent,
State Senator David Lohrbach."
If the Republicans fail to carry this
first Ohio district tomorrow, it will ad-
mittedly be blow to their hopes for
next year. The district has been con-
sistently Republican for many years
except in 1912, when Mr.. Longworth
was defeated, and at that time he re-
NAMED regular" in the presidential
campaign between President Taft, Presi-
dent wilson and Mr.. Longworth's dis
tinguished father-in-law, the late Col.
Theodore Roosevelt.
Many Cities Seek Convention.
The other Ohio district, the twentieth,
a Cleveland district, which has been
held by the Democrats, is expected to
go Democratic in tomorrow's election.

 Unofficial observation of the liquor trade here would. perhaps, place Washington among the drier cities of the nation. Liquor is far less plentiful than in New York and many other cities.
 Washington doesn't boast, as far as fairly close investigation would reveal, a single first class speak easy. It does have a small number of places which resemble speak easies, but they are neither popular nor of the type such cities as New York and Detroit support in num- bers.
 Bootleggers transact their business on the home delivery basis. Straight alcohol, which often is made into synthetic gin by the purchasers, is the commodity in greatest demand.
 Next to gin, there is an ample supply, apparently. of real or syn thetic whiskey, brandy and rum. Wine and beer. other than home brew, are almost unknown commod- ities, except at the embassies.
 The embassies can bring in liquor as they see fit, and there are many stories of truckloads of liquor con- signed to diplomatic establishments coming into Washington. The gen. eral public, however, seldom gets

 MT HoOvers nomination of Eugene Meyer. Jr. to be governor of the federal reserve board was being con- sidered again by a subcommittee of the banking and currency commit tee.

 Under Dannenberg's measure, the governor would appoint q commits sion composed of five members, one to be the superintendent of the de- partment of state agencies and in- stitutions and to be known as the old age pension commissioner. The commissioners would serve without salary. The pension would furnish with what income the applicant might have, a maximum of $9 pel week. Applicants having more than $468 yearly income or property valued at more than $3.000 would be ineligible for pension.
 The judicial councils district court system would supplant the present system of town, borough and city courts. The bill was accompanied by many amendments necessary to accomplish the transformation from one system to the other.
 House and senate received several hundred bills, this being the last week for introduction of new busi- ness.
 One of the most important bills provided for Q state income tax of one per cent for the first $1O,OOO, two per cent in excess of $1O,OOO and three per cent in excess of $5O,- 900.

 The public lands committee has voted to summon Secretary of In- terior Wilbur and other officials Sat- urday to investigate charges of Ralph s.

On all these issues, MT Hoover opposed the action of the senate

 in Hot Water

De Martino protested this alleged reflection upon the premier in a visit to the state department late last week.
 The Navy Department also is un- derstood to be making an inquiry into the incident, having been asked to do so by State Department off, iicials. No word has been received yet from Butler concerning the speech. it was said.
 In the speech. delivered in the Contemporary Club. the fiery mar inc officer was reported to have said also that Mussolini was "one of those embryo fellows who are wait ing to start another war; He was quoted as having made this re- .sss.iark after referring to mad dogs who are about to break loose in Europe"
 Butler has figured in the news on frequen. occasions since 1923 when he was given a years leave from the marine corps and accepted the task of "cleaning up" Philadelphia. Last year while commandant at Quantico, Va, he attracted consid- erable attention by forbidding mar ines stationed there to go downtown until the bootlegging industry had been broken up in Quantico.
 A year ago Butler created mild sensation when he was quoted in a speech in Pittsburg as saying that the marines when they went into Latin America, saw to it elections went as they wanted them to.
 It was later explained that the general referred to methods alleged to have been employed during Amer ican intervention in Nicaragua In 1912.
 Ambassador Demartino, discussing the incident with the United Press to-day termed Buffers purported re- marks as untrue and slanderous allegations"
 He said he had learned that Mus solini never was accompanied on any motor trip around Italy such as But Ter allegedIy described, by any American.
 sFurthermore," said Demartino, i've have learned that the premier never ran over any man, woman or T child with his automobile and that II any accident of this Sort had nap pened, Signor Mussolini would nave done what is the duty of everyone to do. He would have stopped and brought help"
 Washington, Jan 27.-(UP)- Major General Smedley D. Butler. U. !. s. M. c. has been called upon by the navy department to explain statements allegedly made by him in a speech at Philadelphia last week and said by the Italian ambassador to have been derogatory to Premier Mussolini oi Italy.
 Butler was not at his post at the Quantico marine barracks, of which he is commandant, to-day and ir was believed probable that he was enroute to Washington to make . personal explanation.

Crews Says the

 William Cluett, was mortally wound ed by one of the one-pound shells fired by the CG-145. His story differed in almost every respect from the version given by the coast guardsmen, and for the first time the purported name of the boat swain who commanded the CG-l4b was mentioned.
 Anderson showed the United Press correspondent a receipt which ne said was given to him by the boat. swain, It was signed TX. Schmidt. and acknowledged that the coast guard had removed the sextant ana the barometer from the Josephlne K.
 1T only heard three shots" An derson said, "and we stopped the JIosenhine K. after the first one"
 Official reports of the coast ruardsman said seven shots-three warning blanks and four one-pound shells-were fired.
 "I tucked into the engine room after the first shot," Anderson con tinued, "leaving Captain Cluett in the pilot house. At that time we were 15 miles off shore. Soon the coast guard boat came alongside. This fellow Schmidt climbed on board the Josephine K, pulled out a gun and said: Don't give me any more liquor. I'm too drunk already Then he threatened to shoot Allan Falkenhaim. member of our crew, because he couldn't find his name on the ships roster. All the time, I was begging them. to take Captain Cluett off and get him to a hospital, but they stood there arguing about 1t for Is minutes, Finally they de- cided to take him to hospital"
 Anderson's contention that the Josephine K. was IS miles offshore three miles beyond the 12-mile limit established by the treaty with Great Britain-differed from coast guardsmen and officials in Washing ton who said the boat was well within the limit.
 The Josephine K. shipped out of St Pierre January T. according to Anderson, put no member of the crew knew the destination because Captain Cluett was the only one who saw the papers.

Attorney Charles J. Martin of New Haven appeared in behalf Of the

 defense might wish to make. The three will be tried in March.
 Three partners of the Connecticut Trading Corporation. Kingston sub- sidiary, then were called to trial on charges of perjury in connection with the sworn statement of the company's assets and given contin- uance until the March term. They were John H.

The Kingston company was peti- toned into rcceivership by the at torney-general's office, acting in be- half of State Banking Commissioner Lester E. Shippee, December 10. The first complaint stated merely that the company was In a non.n- ouid position. Later the complaint was amended to include allegations of fraud and deceit.
 The firm had branches in New Haven, Meriden, Bridgeport. Water bury. Danbury, Middletown. New London and Willimantic in Connec- ticut and Syracuse and Schnectaoy in New York.

Lemay testified he had been with Diamond all afternoon and during the evening. He said he accom- panied Diamond to a place on the Woodtick road where liquor was served. He said he had a few drinks but did not know whether Diamond
 had taken any. He said they left the place around o'clock and started to where Diamond parked his car. He said the night was dark and foggy and as they proceeded along the Woodtick road slight jar was felt as though they had struck
 something. He said Diamond de- clined to stop the car and pro- ceeded along.
