GOV. R|TCH|E

BALTIMORE, Feb. 5.-If Gov.
ernor Ritchie can believe his own
ears, he stands today the Demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency
on the eleventh ballot Of the
Democratic national convention,
after Governor Roosevelt of New
York withdrew at the tenth ballot
in favor of the Marylander.
At least, that is what Ritchie
heard over a special radio set
last night as he was honor guest
of a dinner of the Baltimore Ad-
vertising Club. Mayor Jackson,
George McManuS, cartooniSt, and
Grover A. Whalen, former police
commissioner of New York city,
heard with the governor the "re-
turns" which were broadcast"
from an adjoining room as a
stunt.

"She told me that no one but
Jack HallOran took a drink at
the girls apartment the night
Of the crime. She told me that

DR.. Cation said he tried to get
Mrs. Judd to tell him the whole
story of the double killing and
that she replied she did not see
where it would do any good and
would make trouble for others" :"
He said she simply closed her
lips and smiled at him when he
asked her if her story would
involve others and then refused
to talk any more.
DR.. Cation said Mrs. Judd told

Failure at the Polls
This class consciousness was one
of the causes of his failure in
straight politics.
Mills could never forget he was
the ariStocrat. When in Con-
gress his fellow members secretly
regarded him as something OF a
snob although they could not
help but admit his brains.
His gubernatorial race in New
York, in which Franklin RooSe-
velt defeated him so emphatically,
is alleged to have cured him of
certain of his caste defects. Mills
since has tried to be more genial
with lesser folks.

When Hoover was elected Presi-
dent it was generally understood
his choice for Secretary of the
Treasury would fall on Mills. Mel
len, it was asserted, planned to
retire. But Mellon stayed on and
Hoover named the New Yorker as
Undersecretary.

portant post of Secretary, Mills

TROUBLE EXPECTED
Chinese Think Toxic Is Try

Ending Boycott.
BY REGINALD SWEETLAND.

BY Gable to The Star.
PEIPING, May 13.-As long as the
Japanese policy toward China con-
tinues to be dictated by the Toxic war
minister, with the apparent intention
of gaining by high-pressure diplomatic
methods what the japanese armed
forces were unable to gain In the
Shanghai regions, there is likely to be
continual friction between the two ma
tions, according to the consensus Of
Peiping leaders.
Already Chinese diplomatic circles
are beginning to resent the assumption
by the Toxic war office that a round
table conference over the status of
Shanghai is not only essential to peace,
but by some subtle implication that
China has agreed to such conference.
Japan is also attempting to give the
suppression the consent of the Amerl-
cans British and other interested pow
ers has already been given, and that
they would take seats for such
round-table conference.
Having failed in its objective to de-
militarize Shanghai and to end the
trade boycott, neither of which sub
jects entered into the recently signed
Shanghai peace treaty. China now feels
that Japan is trying to force her hand.
Dispatches from Tokia declare the
japanese war minister is convinced
more Shanghai incidents will break out
unless China changes its attitude to-
ward Japan. Japan wants virtually
signed guarantee that China will buy
Japanese goods.
The United States, Great Britain
and France are not prepared to enter
any such conference unless China her
self will write the agenda for it.
1t is the policy of the Toxic war Of
flee to force China into agreeing to
such q conference, according to the

 There have been reports both here and in Tokio that if the re- port is unfavorable to Japan and If the council should take too firm position against Japan's mili- tary's policies in Manchuria, the Japenese government might with draw from the League, as was first rumored last week.
 Some authorities maintain this would be impossible legally for a league member cannot resign while it is default of its obligations and a member in good standing cannot withdraw except on two years mo- tice.
