and planned a clandestine trip to
Santa Cruz where they registered
at a hotel as man and wife. While
Mrs. Nelson remained in the hotel,

II years of Courtney Charles

sensational promotions, has ended
in bankruptcy.

associates were indicted on charges

BloOdless Fight.
BY JOHN VIDAL

SANTIAGO, Chile, June II.
UR) - Carlos G. Davila, former
Chilean ambassador to Washing
ton, was returned to power in Chile
today by a bloodless revolt which
overthrew the government headed
by Col. Marmaduke Grove.
Determined to die fighting"
after he received an ultimatum
from the rebels, Colonel Grove was
forced to surrender when carabi-
Eeros guarding the presidential
palace observed their tradition not
to engage in civil war.
Colonel Grove was arrested and
will be deported to Argentina.
The streets surrounding the pal
ace were cleared for a lombard
ment, with tanks and light artil-
lery facing the palace and air
planes flying overhead. A rebel
regiment occupied an unfinished
building of reinforced concrete from
which they could fire directly into
the palace.
Davila headed civilian junta

Cardenas and Alberto Cadero, a
triumph over Colonel Grove, who
had forced Davilas resignation as
head of the new Socialist govern
ment.
Ex-Dictator Gen. Arlos Ibanez
also was mentioned as one of the
supporters OF the new movement.
Interviewed by telephone at Men
doza, just across the Argentine
frontier, Ibanez told the United
Press that "the counter revolt was
the direct result of Colonel Groves
fantastic program and dictatorial
powers"
The overthrow of the Grove
regime came after the country was
believed quiet and loyal to the So
cialist administration.

from Phoenix to San Diego and the
establishment of so called "fly by
night" aerial transportation to Los
Angeles, to increase their travel
over their lines and take care of
expenditures in the future.
People are becoming air-mind-
ed" Hetzel states, land only this
morning three passengers from the
east came through on the same
plane with us, stating that they
have travelled by air for several
month, and each boasting of the
number of hours he had to his
credit in the air. We found Phoe-
nix becoming an important avia-
ton center due to the fact that SO
many air lines converge at this
point American Airways officials
state that, as passengers increase
the flights will increase and even
the time will be cut by faster
planes. This is amazing when one

EXPECT HOOVER
TO DROP PLANS
FOR COAST TRIP
President Not Likely To
Come To Coast For Olym-
pic Games.
BY HENRY F. MISSELWITZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON June 17.-Pres-
ident Hoover, formally nominated
for reelection, has virtually decided
to cancel his proposed trip to Cali
fornia next month.
The President has been desirous
of going to Los Angeles to open
the Olympic games and it had been
suggested that he receive the for
NAL notice of his denomination at
his Palo Alto, Calf, home where
he was notified in 1923. 1t is
strongly indicated at the White
House that Mr.. Hoover has reluc-
family decided it would not be best
to make the journey at this criti-
cal time.
1t is expected that the President
will receive the notification and
deliver his address of acceptance
either at the White House or at
his Rapidan fishing camp and will
direct his reelection campaign
from these two places.
A definite decision on these plans
awaits further conferences with his
advisors, including Everett Sanders
who was selected at Chicago as
the new chairman of the Republi-
can national committee and as such
will be Mr.. Hoover's campaign
manager. Sanders formerly was
secretary to President Coolidge.
The Presidents Rapidan camp
may be expected to be the scene of
frequent and prolonger political
conferences during the sumer. Add
ed telephone, telegraph and radio
broadcast facilities are being in
stalled there. The President may
make several of his campaign
speeches from the camp.

CHICAGO, June 16. (SpeciaD
Well, the old Republican con-
vention of 1882 went into either
history or the ash can at $3.50
this afternoon.
And say, I saved my "Injun,"
Charley Curtis, for the vice
presidency. So it's the same
old vaudeville team of Hoover
and Curtis.
They nominated Hoover, but
after a tough fight. And 1000
out of $4,000 yelled for repeal
last night.
Curtis beat three good men,
all of 'em McNider is especi-
ally a promising young fellow.
But he's got plenty of time.
Last night was a real ses-
sion. 1t sounded like some
thing but that's because there
was 10000 Democrats in the
galleries. Democracy and the
right of free speech that you
hear SO much about had a set
back there today. Ex-senator
France wanted to withdraw his
own name and propose the
name of Calvin Coolidge for
President. Well, that machine
just bundled him right up ano
threw him into the alley.
That was the real sensation
of the convention. The only
way you could have got Calvin
Coolidge before that convention
would have been to have it
come in under an assumed
name. During all the rawlings
of the accomplishments of the
Republican party not one men
ton was ever made of Coolidge.
So when Smell and his strong
arm men stopped France and
bodily threw him off, there is
no possible cabinet job can ever
be too high for them.
See you at the Democrats,
where they will let anybody
nominate everybody.
