REPUBLICANS OF ILLINOIS TO BE
 VERY DOUBTFUL
They Are Not Certain About Giving Support to Hoover - May G0 to Session Uninstructed

Springfield, Ill., Jan 6-(UP)-- Illinois republican leaders today appeared undecided whether to support President Hoover in his campaign for reelection and were said to have adopted policy of "watchful waiting"
 That MT. Hoover will not com mand a 100 per cent instructed Illinois delegation at the Chicago convention next June Is freely ad- mitted by practically all state lead- CTS, although only State senator Harry c. Wright. De Kalb, power ful Illinois republican will discuss the situation.
 Wright, who recently toured 60 of the states 120 counties. believes "the worst Mir. Hoover can expect Is n uninstructed delegation" and that the attitude of leaders is to wait watchfully," because of troubled business conditions.
 The split In Illinois republican ranks over n presidential candidate was revealed openly this week by Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick. for mer congressman at large. She de- clared Mir. Hoover would not be a popular candidate and that re- publicans should make another choice.
 Mrs. McCormick's statement was believed to exemplify the attitude of virtually all state republican leaders.

$6O,OOO Asked In Bonds From
 Three Accused
Sz0,000 Each Required By Maurice Mahoney, John Rubino, and John Val. eric, Charged With At- tempted Murder and Robbery With Violence
NORTH MAIN ST
 MAN WAS VICTIM

Bonds totaiing se0.00 record amount in the history of city court were named to-day in the cases of Maurice Mahoney, 20, of 20 Henry street; John Rubino, 35, of 40 West Farm street and John Va lerio, 22, of Tarbell avenue, oak vile. The trio are charged with attempted murder and robbery with violence. If q gun wound suffered by Emilio DIgilana, AZ, proprietor of a North Main street establishment should result fatally the youths would face the charge of murder in tho first degree.
 Digilana was waylaid in tho yard of his home on West Farm street about 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning by two youths. As he at- tempted to defend himself he was shot in the right side of the neck. Tho police first suspected a liquor feud, but upon investigation the story of how m attempted holdup narrowly resulted in mur- der followed.
 According to the police authorl- ties they have statements from the accused trio which duplicates them in tho attack. The gun used in the shooting has been identified by its owner. It was apparently borrowed by Mahorey or his pals for Intimidation purposes. The trio had been tipped off that Digi- lana would be in possession of q roll on his homeward trip. He had about $40 in cash on his person when he was held up.
