ENEMIES KNIFE
HIGGINS, N. !.
BEER CAR
Notorious Police Habitue
Stabbed Three Times and
Dumped at Hospital Door

NEW YORK, May 21.-Vannie
Higgins, a sinister figure in New
York's underworld, was mysteri-
ously stabbed three times early
today-perhaps critically-and his
crumpled form unceremoniously
dumped on a settee in the lobby
of Polytechnic Hospital, a stones
throw from the heart of Broad
way.
"GOOdby, pal" said the man
who brought him in. He then
casually strOlled out into the
street, climbed into a limousine,
in which was seated a highly
rOuged brunette, and drove off.
1t was all done in the cold,
matter-Of-fact manner so char;Sc-
teriStic of the underworld.
Refuses to Squeal
So here was the highly public
lied Higgins, the so-called "czar"
of Brooklyn and New Jersey beer
runners, in the same hospital
where they brought the late
Arnold Rothstein when he was
fatally shot, and where they
brought Jack Legs" Diamond
when he was riddled with bullets
on another occasion. But Hig-
gins didn't stay lone at Poly
clinic. He was removed to Man
haitian General Hospital.
Just as matter of routine, the
police asked Higgins who stabbed
him. With a wan SMILE, the
racketeer replied:
"I'm a square fellow and
don't want to talk about it,"

WESTERN GROUP
TALK NC DAWES
!. FOR PRESIDENCY
Boom to Nominate Him
Instead of Hoover
Gathers Impetus.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-The
substitution of Charles C. Dawes,
ambassador to Great Britain, for
Herbert Hoover as the Republicans
presidential candidate next year has
been suggested by influential G. o.
P. interests n the east and west. it
was learned today.
EmisSaries engaged in canvassing
party sentiment have consulted GER
tain Republican senators within the
last few days, and they also have
conferred with party flnanciers and
politicians in New York City. They
have reported that opposition to
Hoover's denomination has reached
new peak, and that considerable
support has been found for Dawes.
IN the belief that he would have a
better chance of victory than the
President
Started in West
The movement for the former
Vice-President started in the west
where his support of the euualiza-
ton fee a few years ago won him
friends. There is no definite cam
paign or organization under wav.
but those advocating the swap
avowedly are looking the situation
over with an eye to stirring inter-
est and publicity in it.
Dawes recently denied that he
was a candidate for the Vice
presidency, and his membership in
the Hoover household may prove
embarrassing to him. But present
plans Of the Dawes President
pioneers contemplate such a quiet,
under-cover movement that, if pos
sible, he will not be involved until
the time comes to remove the
wraps from his candidacy.
May Tip Him Off
Meanwhile, an attempt may be
made to appriSe Dawes of his
friends intentions, and to persuade
him to maintain an attitude of
sympathetic circumspection.
In addition to his prestige among
western interests, it is maintained
that Dawes is more popular with
the large financial interest of New
York, Chicago and other large CEN
tiers than Hoover is. A banker and
business man, he will be advanced
as candidate more fit to handle
economic problems than Hoover, in
the eyes Of his opponents, has
shown himself to be.
There have been several Sugges-
tons that Hoover withdraw for the
sake of the party, but they appar-
emily have fallen on deaf ears.
Senator Hiram Johnson (Rep., CALI,
said the President would do the
party a service if he would step
aside.
Norris Quits Him
Senators Norris (Rep., Neb0,
Blaine and La Toilette (Rep., Wis.,.
have announced they will not be
in Hoover's camp, and several other
ProgresSives, including Senators
Borah (Rep., Ida), Nye (Rep., N.
D., Norbeck (Rep., S. D., Cutting
Rep., N. M, and Schall (Rep.,
Mimi have indicated they we're
Indifferent.
But the Dawes proposal is the
most direct thrust against Hoover
that has come from within party
ranks, and from the section of the
G. o. P. to which Hoover's policies
have been designed % appeal. While
the Presidents cont'ol of patronage
and southern delegates makes re-
mote the prospect of success for a
revolt, it is hoped that discussion
of Dawes may direct political
thought into anti Hoover channels.
