BALL QUESTION
To Be DECIDED
ON LATER
Governor Insists on Economy,
But Big Parade Seems
Certain for March 4

The mandate of President.elect
Roosevelt that his inaugural next
March 4 must be one of "Jeffer.
sonian simplicity today had left
District Democrats in a dilemma
concerning their first plans for q
formal and great inaugural ball''
to come in the evening after
Roosevelt's induction into the
highest office.
Before he left Washington late
yester lay for a brief rest at Warm
Springs, Ga, Governor Roosevelt
told leaders of the District democ-
racy, that his desires were for a
befitting but inexpensive inaugur-
alton.
Insists On Economy
The President-elect agreed to go
along with the traditional idea
that there must be a parade of
some sort down Pennsylvania Ave.
Both explicitly and implicitly,
however, the Governor insisted
that such a display shall be at a
minimum of cost and expense. Q
Therefore, there was even a
doubt today that such bodies as
the midshipn-en from Annapolis:
the cadets from West Point and
the long-famous Richmond
Blues" of the Old Dominion, will
be in the parade line.
Nevertheless, they probably will
be; assuming that the District
Democrats go even halfway on
their inaugural program.
So flabbergasted were members
of the District group calling upon
Mr.. Roosevelt late yesterday that
the subject of formal inaugural
ball' was not brought up at all.
Last Ball In 1909
There has not been an
inaugural ball since William y1~w.
ard Taft came into the Pres
idency in 1909. In the years be-
tween 1909 and 1882 there have
been charity balls" and other
social functions on the nights Of
Inauguration days, but they did
not have the official flavor, as
meritorious as they were.
John B. Colpoys. chairman of
the Democratic central commit
tee of the District, and John F.
Costello. national committeeman
in the Capital, said today:
1--WE haven't given uD yet the
proposal for an inaugural bill.
1t could be staged as the gift of
the Democrats of the District
of Columbia to a prosperity in
auguratiOn.' There are enough
public-Spirited Democrats in the
Capital to do this, without ex-
pense to the Federal Treasury.
"Our program today is in
Obeyance; but we still hope to
get the consent of the President
elect for this feature of our
program for an Old-fashiOned
Democratic celebration and in.
augural. We haven't had one
since 1917. and that's long
way back"

DIGEST'S POLL
VOTE-SWITCH|NC
FLOOD DENIED
Brokerage House Issued
False Statement, Says
Editor of Magazine.

~ fWfs special
NEW YORK, Oct 29.-The Lit
erary Digest complained to the
Stock Exchange Thursday that a
brokerage house had issued false
statement as TO alleged letters ask
ing that votes be changed in the
Digest presidential poll
At the same time, according to
Editor William Seaver Woods, Re-
publican headquarters in Chicago,
was asked concerning reports that
it had supplied the basis for a
broadcast of similar report by
news broadcaster of Washington,
D. G.
According to a statement Woods
issued, the brokerage :house-name
not given--sent advices Oct. Is to
branch houses that the Literary
Digest was being swamped with 35,-
600 letters to poll voters asking their
votes be transferred from Roose-
yelt TO President Herbert Hoover.
The company later issued a notice
denying the report and saying it
regretted not consulting the Digest
before issuing the market letter
Subsequently, according to the
statement the news broadcaster
disseminated similar report,
which was traced to a national
party headquarters
Supplementing the statement,
Woods told the United Press Thurs
day that Ray Benjamin of the Re-
publican committee headquarters in
Chicago had supplied the informa-
ton to the broadcaster.
Upon questioning as to the source
of his data, he said, according to
Woods, that a Digest employe in
Chicago had supplied it.
An advertising solicitor, Woods
said, is the Digest's only Chicago
representative and he claimed this
man knew nothing of the matter.

speech.
He dropped the gun without fir

Rolph Undecided
On Tax Increase

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 13.

made up his mind on the question
of increasing tax rates upon public
utilities the governor said today.
Before he reaches a definite &C.
cision, Rolph will confer with Rol-

nance, who proposed and later
withdrew what State Controller
Ray L. Riley called IAN argument
for the utilities" in the recent tax
report.
Lines for the legislative fight
over the tax issue were rapidly
forming. The Pacific Gas and Elec-

tack upon the report of the tax
research bureau which showed the
utilities undertaXed $6,0o0,000 a
year.
On the other hand, Fred E.

who prepared the report, said he
would defend it with every resource
at his command, before the state

PARIS, Dec. 13.-French default
on its war debt payment due to
the United States on Thursday sud-
denly became grave possibility to-
day in the chamber Of deputies.
Default would be accompanied by
overthrow of Premier Edouard Her

The unexpected change in the
situation occurred when the foreign
affairs and finance commissions
Of the chamber rejected a resolu-
ton drafted by the government,
providing for payment to the Uff-
ted States with reservations.
The commissions then went TO
work on a resolution Of their own,
embodying the original proposal for
default by postponing the payment,
regardless of consequences.

these considerations was that the
