MISSISSIPPI CASTS
VOTE IN CONFUSION
Conflict Over Redistricting of
State MuddIes Primary
Election Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSON, Miss, August 23.-With
a good portion Of the electorate in the
dark as to what it is all about,
Mississippi is holding Democratic pri-
mary today in which the States seven
congressional seats will be at stake.
Confusion over the legal method for
electing Congressman this year started
when the Legislature redistricted the
State and a Federal court, in effect,
held the redistricting act invalid. The
confusion continued on the eve Of the
balloting, which was ordered to proceed
by the State Central Democratic Com
mittee.
Fourteen congressional aspirants who
filed with the committee as district
candidates urged the electorate to turn
out and nominate them from the segre-
gated county groups designed by the
Legislature, regardless of a Federal
court injunction against certif1catton OF
district nominations.
An equally large number OF candi-
dates running from the State at large
urged the voters to refrain from voting
for Congressman at the polls tomorrow,
maintaining that the seven seats must
be filled.
All of the congressional incumbents
are seeking new terms, with Wall Doxey
of Holly Springs, the only one unop-
posed, in the district primaries.

U. S. MAY TRADE WHEAT
WITH CHILE FOR NITRATE
Farm Board Reported Considering
Deal, but Absence of Chilean
Envoy Delays Action.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August pa trade
with Chile, in which wheat would be
exchanged for nitrate, was reported in
the financial district yesterday to be
under consideration by the Federal
Farm Board.
Chile, it was said, needs wheat at
present and has little foreign exchange
with which to purchase 1t abroad. The
Farm Board, it was pointed out. has
plenty of wheat which it bought for cash.
1t has already traded some $4,000 900
bushels to Brazil for coffee and, it was
thought, a profit might be seen in max
ing similar deal with Chile for nitrate
Immediate negotiations on the wheat
nitrate trade are not expected, owing to
the absence in Mexico of the Chilean
Ambassador to Washington.

Candidate for New York Governor

Flippant and Boyish.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 23.-Not only
is Col William j. Donovan's hat in the
gubernatorial ring, but the former As
sistant Attorney General said last night
81 am right there with it."
In the first public speech he has
made since he announced his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor Donovan attacked Gov. RooSe-
velt's Ohio speech and praised Presi-
dent Hoover's record.
THE Democratic candidate
discloses no fundamental theory Of gov
eminent upon which we can rely and
which he could use as a test of deter
mining the merit of any measure which
might arise" Donovan told the New
York Young Republican Club.
HE treats of national problems in a
dippant and boyiSh way.
President Hoover's speech, on the
other hand, reflects the serious thought
of a man concerned with the conditions
of his country and discloses a purpose
to effect a remedy consistent with our
philosophy Of government"
OF prohibition he said it "will be an
issue with us until it is settled"
Il am for repeal" he said, land I
am for it because I believe in law en-
forcement."
Donovan said the President meets
this issue very squarely."

WIND HARD ON FLAGS
New York Federal Building Shifts
Pole for Economy.

NEW YORK, August % P.-The
wind from the north blows SO hard
on the Federal Building that for the

And in these times of economy that's
about 10 or IL too many a year.
So the old flag pole has been removed
to the southern end of the building
