ST. LOUIS, August 16.-Obstacles to
the holding of the Jobless-Liberty
party's national convention tomorrow
and Thursday at Creve Occur Lake
Speedway, Is miles west of st. Louis,
apparently had been removed today.
State and county health officials
who had warned that they would start
Injunction proceedings unless sanitary
facilities met with approval, today had
withdrawn their threat after confer
ence with W. H. (Coin) Harvey, at
which they were assured that the at
tendance would be only fraction of
the $4,000 predicted earlier by other
Spokesmen for the party.
Whether Harvey, leader and presi-
Dental nominee of the Liberty party,
would officially take part in the con-
vention remained to be settled by a
conference with Rev. James r. Cox,
Catholic priest, of Pittsburgh, Pa, and
leader of the jobless party, who reached
Effingham, Ill, last night with approx
imately 500 of his Blue Shirt" fol-
lowers. They were due to reach Creve
Occur Lake today. Father Cox is the
presidential candidate for his party.
While health officials made known
that they did not intend to seek an
injunction if the attendance should
prove as low as the latest estimates
indicated, they said action would be
taken If it should become necessary to
protect the public health.
More than 100 delegates had arrived
at the speedway this morning. Most
of them we're from California, Arkansas,
