MORE than sixty experts on rural
AVA problems met at the University
of Chicago to try to formulate an
economic policy for farm relief. Their
sessions were behind closed doors,
but those who consented to be inter-
viewed between sessions held out lit
tie immediate encouragement for
farmers, especially those depending
on cottonN and wheat.
The policies of the farm board came
in for condemnation on the part Of
many representatives, who declared
that the boards policy Of discourag-
ing production Of such crops a. wheat
and cotton was detrimental.

division, stating the resolu-
ton was considered as test
of confidence. The result of the vot-
ing gave the government a majority
of SO, the figures being 300 for and
250 against it. The Conservatives and
most Of the Liberals lined up with
Macdonald, as did twelve members of
the Labor party. Sir Oswald Moseley
and his "new party" were in opposi-
ton, together with Arthur Hender-
sons Laborites.
The economy budget, as presented
by Chancellor Snowden and accepted
by the house, caused groans from the
Laborite benches. Its principle fea-
lures, summarized, are:
Taxes.

An interesting incident was the an
nouncement by King George that he
desired reduction Of $250OOO in his
civil list of $2,350,O00, which is the
annual income paid by the government
to the crown.

yer, it is reliably reported, hasn't yet
made up his mind what 1t best to be
done, and his cabinet members hold
widely divergent views.
James M. Beck, Republican repre-
sentative from Pennsylvania, is al
ways listened to respectfully, and now,
on his return from a trip to Europe,
he has lot to say. He decided, the
plight was due to Excessive taxation
for socialistic purposes and fears the
United States is in grave danger of
being led into the same road. Mr..
Beck suggests that the present exam
pie of the British should be followed
by the formation Of a coalition leader
ship Of Republicans and Democrats In
congress for the purpose Of abolish
ing unnecessary and meddlesome bu-
reaus" and effecting other economies.
The Pennsylvania estimates that
probably two billions of dollars an.
nually could be saved by temporarily
suspending sinking fund requirements
and by scrapping such governmental
machinery as the farm board. numer-

riculture, Commerce and Labor and va
rious commissions consecrated to pa
ternalistic care Of the citizenry in
their occupations and in their homes.
He favors only one additional kind
Of tax. He would have congress pro-
nounce light wines and beer nonintoxi-
eating in fact, which he says can be
done constitutionally, and then impose
an excise tax on such beverages, which
he estimates would bring in half q
billion dollars Of revenue annually.
THAT amazing story Of the defalca-
4 lions Of Walter e. Wolfe, manager
Of the coupon department of the Con-
tinental Illinois bank Of Chicago, was
made almost complete by an announce
ment from Arthur Reynolds, chairman
of the board Of directors. He said that
during twelve years Wolfe had stolen
$500, 929.06, which makes his en-
bezzlement the second largest in Amer
lean banking history.
The bank is covered by insurance

sum, would be recovered in time.

MURRAY ADMIRERS
TO LAUNCH BOOM
Oklahoma Clubs to Confer
Sunday on Plans for
Presidential Race.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, october 2l.-Reports re-
eeived here from Oklahoma City say
that the business of turning Okl3hcma's
Governor, William H. c'Alfalfa BID
Murray into a candidate for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination will be
taken in hand shortly.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee there has called a general meet
ing of Murray President" Clubs for
Sunday At that gathering tactics are
expected to be arranged for campaign
based on the cry of Bread, Butter,
Beans and Bacon"
Gov. Murray admits few illusions con-
eerning the probability of his nominal
ton, since, he says, the politicians and
not the people select party candidates,
but he has promised If nominated to
"raise more hell than any candidate for
President since Andy Jackson"
Gives Sample of Methods.
AS a sample of his methods he can
exhibit his war with Texas over bridge
and boundary rights. He also showed
what can be accomplished by direct &C
ton when he used the Oklahoma Militia
to close Oklahoma City oil wells after
the industry admitted inability to solve
its ows production problems. This bit
of executive aggressiveneSS caused the
price of oil to rise from approximately
80 cents a barrel to 70 cents. The Gov
ernor in addition has thrown down the
gauntlet to Federal courts which he
thought we're uSurping State powers.
Gov. Murray, more than any other
State executive, of late has been letting
khe country in on his views He trav-
eled to st. Louis for an unemployment
conference and then to Memphis for
Another. He came to Chicago on labor
Hay and addressed huge crowd in this
city, where he is a popular figure.
Where was another trip to Omaha,
where the Oklahoma executive, to show
that he wears his ~ years lightly, stood
on his head for full minute before
Gov. and Mrs. Charles w. Bryan.
Gov. Murray has not announced a
platform built from his views on ma
tional issues, but he does have recipe
for answering prohibition questions. In
terviewed on the issue, he said:
Scores Financial System.
ooh, I've heard a lot of nuts talk
about prohibition. A fellow asked me
one time if we had prohibition in Okla
homa. I told him sure we did. He
asked me if we liked it and I told him
sure we did He asked me If prohibit
ton was enforced down there. My an
swer was, of course, not. But you know
that fellow just wanted an argument,
and 1 didn't give it to him."
OklahomaS colorful Governor has
definite views on Wall Street, which he
claims is debating every lean made in
the country.
I'm fer a return of constitutional
government whereby a farmer can 60
to his local bank, pledge his crop and
borrow IS per cent Of its value so that
he may harvest and market it." Gov.
Murray says. I'm for making the
banks lend. to manufacturers and pro-
ducers so that business can go ahead
The Oklahoma Governor disavows
any interest in the vice presidential
nomination or a senatorial nomination.
He would like if possible, to prove to
be a second Andrew Jackson, battling
on a national scale.

yesterday, Congress would authorize pur-

 An atmosphere of intense quiet prevailed Glenmont, his estate in fashionable Llewellyn park.

 Rankin's victory yesterday was by a good majority. His total vote was 7376 to 6304 for Wilson. This gives Rankin 75 delegates at the conventions as against 46 for Will son. Hartford elects by precincts and the delegates are figured &C., cordingly. The above figures on del- egates show that Rankin carried a much greater number of precincts than Wilson.
 The Spellacy forces will have control of the town committee and will take steps at that session to elect an entirely new set-up and pick a new chairman. Senator Jos eph Cooney is being boomed for the chairmanship.
 Waterbury Leaders Interested
 Local democratic leaders receiv- ed the news of the Spellacy-R Ran kin victory with interest. However, they chose not to comment on the matter at this time. Waterbury has gone through an election with little or no democratic factional dissension and Mayor Frank Hayes has been returned to office for an- other two-year term by the greatest majority in the city.
 . Bridgeport republicans met last night and nominated William $. Mahon, president of the Connecti- cut Association of Real Estate boards, for mayor. However, the nomination has not entirely pleased all of the z. o. D. in the Park City. lao Na autn loo baseball magnate, claimed today that he was promised the nomina- tion but was squeezed out at the last minute on the grounds that he was connected with the Ceilings murder case. Voos cooperated with investigators of the death of the Stamford yachtsman in identifying blankets wrapped around Mrs Col lings when she was kidnapped from the Penguin. He said the blankets had been stolen from his yacht.
 "I was told I was to have the nomination" he said. "The worst thing about it is not the the loss of the nomination but the excuse they gave me-" He then referred to his cooperation with the police in the Ceilings case.
 Clifford Wilson Back Again
 Former Lieut-Gov Clifford B. Wilson, who has been absent from policital activities for the past 10 years, stepped back into the lime fight at the Bridgeport conventions last night when he placed MT Ma hons name in nomination.
 Bridgeport's mayoralty contest will be four-cornered. William D.. Hogan is to run as an independent democrat. Jasper McLevy will run on the socialist ticket. And the present incumbent, Mayor E. T. Buckingham, will be renominated next week on the regular demo- cratic ticket, 1t is expected.
