ming, a few crates having been
shipped to Los Angeles by Charles
Freedman, FL Centro shipper, and

Brown refuses to become chairman
Of the Republican national COM

some one who will be his nominal
campaign manager. But regardless
Of his official title, Brown is ex-

Browns selection as successor to
Senator Simeon D. Tess, whom he
is credited with having recommend
ed, was regarded as inevitable until
the last few days, when he empha-
sized his objections to the post.
Fess, who has been unhappy as
national chairman for the last six
months, continued only with the
understanding that he would be
relieved after the Chicago conven-

just who will get the job is prob
lematical. William M. Butler, for
mer chairman and former senator,
has been discussed: also Raymond
Benjamin, California friend of the

Idaho Veteran Refuses to

fcopvrizht. 1879. by United Press
WASHINGTON. May 27.-Repub-
lican upzoar over the prohibition
platform to be Endorsed by the party
at Chicago next month directly was
traced today TO a hitherto secret
meeting between President Hoover
and Senator william Borah rep,
Ida in which they failed to agree
on prohibition policy.
The break between Borah, who
led the Hoover campaign forces in
1928. and the President may send
the veteran senator to the stump
to campaign for members Of con-
gress confronted with wet oppo-
nents.
Borah has made no plans for the
summer. He contemplateS no bolt
to the Democrats. He might go to
Europe.
But he is determined not to sup
port a Republican nominee who
does not agree with him on the
liquor question.
BOrah Refuses Comment
It was revealed on unqueStioned
authority that a group OF dry lead
ers-not. however, including the
Anti-Saloon League-recently IN
formed Mr.. Hoover they would &C
cept any prohibition plank satistac-
tory to Borah.
The Idaho orator Immediately
was summoned to the White House.
Borah today confirmed the fact OF
the White House conference, but
refused to comment further.
The dry leaders selected Borah to
pass on the Republican party pro-
nibition plank after Mr.. Hoover
asked a group OF them for sugges-
tions as to platform policy. Mr..
Hoover was informed that the drys
with whom he conferred would not
accept any plank which was not
approved by Borah. 1t was then
that Mr.. Hoover summoned Borah
TO the White House.
Unable to Agree
They evidently were unable to
agree, although neither the Presi-
dent nor Borah has revealed the
differences which developed in their
interview.
On the unquestioned authority Of
a dry leader, who has discussed the
matter with Mr.. Hoover, the United
Press was informed that Mr.. Hoover
is inclined to feel that something
ought to be done to satisfy the re-
submissionist element in the party"
Borah's contention during the
White House conference is under
stood to have been that if the Chi
cago platform declares for result
mission, it should also make def
mite statement as to an alternative
to the eighteenth amendment.
That long has been Borah's posi-
ton with respect to repeal or modi-
ficstion of the prohibition system.
1T should either firmly uphold the
Constitution as the proper system, or
declare for a proper program" the
senator said.
1t was revealed as a certainty that
Borah will not attend the Chicago
convention unless he and the Presi-
dent are able to agree on prohibit
ton plank.
