Convention.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 25.-Pat-
rick J. Hurley, Secretary of War, told
the Republican State Convention here
today President Hoover has pointed
the way to sterilization" of worldwide
economic conditions.
The Secretary, whose home town is
Tulsa, Okla, was giving the keynote
address.
Moratorium Cited.
"The President has pointed the way
to stabilization," said the World War
veteran "In Europe he led the way
for an international moratorium to pre-
vent the collapse of one great nation
and to supply credit to others.
In the Orient the parties of the
nine-power treaty and the pact of
Paris and the League of Nations have
followed his policies and acknowledged
his leadership. At home he submitted
a program for economic reconstruction
that largely has been enacted into law
by House Of Representatives controlled
by his political opponents"
Hurley said he was disappointed that
Speaker John Garner, Democrat, Texas,
had attempted to make a political
issue" out Of the Presidents suggestion
that bureaus be consolidated and gov
ernmentaI expenses curtailed.
Defends Whole Program.
Every item of the Presidents pro-
gram, declared Hurley, "is aimed at
improving the lot of the little fellow.
THE major policies of the President
stand vindicated We have passed
through great economic crisis with
out the tremendous social upheayals
that have visited other countries. We
have taken care Of our needy. We have
avoided panic.
THE economic war is not over. Bat
ties still are raging on a hundred
fronts. But cur commanding general,
who has successfully withstood every
attack upon our economic system and
our political institutions may be trusted
to ward of any future assaults"

DENIES MT. VERNON
MEASURE TABLED
TreadWay Says u. S. Ac.
QUESTION Plan Awaits Fur
ther Inquiry.

Emphatic denial was made today by
Representative Treadway, Republican
Massachusetts,, author of the bill to have
Mount Vernon taken over by the Gov.
ernment and the gates thrown open fol
free admission every day of the year
that this measure has been pigeonholeo
by the House Public Lands Committee
He made public a letter he has writ
ten to Boris L. Eisenberg. superintend-
ent Of the Jewish Foster Home. offering
to pay the admission to Mount Vernon
for children from that home who were
recently denied admission because they
did not have the 25-cent fee charged
for admission to Mount Vernon. Rep
resentative Treadway offered the use oi
his car at any time to help furnish
transportation for these orphans or
such patriotic pilgrimage.
Further Action Awaited.
Representative Treadway said action
on his resolution is awaiting further
inquiry by vote Of the Lands Commit
tee from the Governor of Virginia
relative to the interest of that State
on the question of the Federal Gov
eminent taking over this shrine.
THE sentimental influence of the
women who are in control of the
Ladies Mount Vernon Association is
very powerful" said Mr. Treadway
aroused for governmental control will
not be stemmed until the purchase is
accomplished of this shrine belonging
to the American people.
Press statements" he continued
quote Charles Moore, chairman Of the
Commission of Fine Arts, as stating re-
Gently that 1t would be unfortunate to
have the property in the impersonal
control Of the Government It seems
rather inconsistent that man holding
an office created by act of Congress, un-
der presidential appointment. should OBJ
ject to the Governments functioning in
connection with national shrine"
Offers to Pay Fees.
In his letter to the superintendent OF
the Jewish Foster Home, Representative
Treadway said: THE press accounts Of
the refusal of admission to a group of
orphan children at Mount Vernon are
further evidence that control of this
property should be in the hands of the
Federal Government 1t Is a sad COM
mentary upon private ownership that
orphan children should not be ad-
mitted because they come on a day not
in conformity with the rules under
which Mount Vernon is managed.
Should you desire again to take the
children of your home to Mount Ver-
non shall be glad to contribute the
amount of admission charged you for
them. Furthermore, 1 note that trans
portation was provided by friends OF
the home. In case their should be any
difhculty in again securing transporta-
ton I shall be glad to place my car
with chauffeur at your disposal fol
the trip and also aid in obtaining
other offers of cars for the children.

CAMP PA|GN|NG ENDS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Dry Issue of Chief Interest
as Voters Prepare to Go
to Polls Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The tu-
multi of the Pennsylvania primary cam
paign will resolve itself tomorrow into
the scratching of voters pencils.
The country is most interested in the
contest in which the least din has been
raised-the struggle between Franklin
d. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith for
this States IS votes at the Democratic
national convention.
The Republican senatorial battle be-
tween Senstor James j. Davis and Maj.
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, which supplies
a wet-dry test, and bitter inter-
faction fights for lesser posts, have been
waged to a rumble like thunder.
G. o. p. Makes No Campaign.
Supporters of the rival presidential
aspirantS, however, have been content
to issue a few statements. The most
important was letter from Smith
making his first direct bid for support.
AS for the Republican delegates. there
has been no campaign. There are con-
tests in a couple of districts, but vir-
tually all the emissaries to Chicago will
be friendly to President Hoover and
controlled by the organization of Will
liam S. Ware
1t was Ware who turned the tide for
Hoover at Kansas City four years ago
1t has been predicted that he might
seek some sort Of anti-prohibition dec
laration in exchange for his support
for the Presidents denomination
1t was only after Senator Davis came
out for referendum and modification
that Ware gave him his Endorsement
The Anti-Saloon League has expressed
great concern over the contest be-
tween Davis and the dry Marine COM
mander.
Test for Pinchot.
The Davis Butler race also provides
test of strength between the organi-
zation and the independents, headed by
Gov. Clifford Pinchot under whose
aegis Butler has stumped the State.
Butler has assailed that damned
Philadelphia gang; Davis has de-
nounced "buffoonery and rip-snorting
tactics"
Other contests are colorful. too. In
the fifteenth congressional district, Mrs.
Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, the Governors
wife, has battled to unseat Representa-
tive Louis T. McFadden, who sprang
into prominence and lost his patronage
privileges with an attack on President
Hoover in connection with the morato-
rum and foreign debts.
In Philadelphia, former Mayor Harry
A. Mackey, manager of Wares senatorial
campaign in 1926, is running for the
Assembly with Ware backing the other
fellow-Howard M. Long.
