WASHINGTON, June 81. U.P)--
Charges that Senator Borah to
tally misinterpreted" the Republi-
can prohibition plank when he as
serted it counselled repeal of the
18th amendment were made today
by James r. Garfield, chairman of
the Republican resolutions commit
tee at last weeks convention.
In view of silence from the White
House, Garfield's statement, made
informally as he prepared to testi-
fly before senate subcommittee
on the Cleveland Union Mortgage
case, was regarded as the first ad-
ministration answer to Borah's re-
pudiation of President Hoover.
Garfield did not elaborate on his
statement other than to say he
was not surprised at Borah's views.
He indicated. however, the Repub-
licans would attempt to elucidate
their prohibition plank when he
said he expected to make state
ment "in a few days" on "preven-
ton of the return Of the saloon"
Senator Borah has disrupted Re-
publican campaign plans at the
outset by his dramatic and flat
declaration that he will not support
President Hoover for reelection on
the prohibition plank adopted at
Chicago.
Administration leaders, striving
to hold both vets and drys in line,
had feared such n blow, but hoped
to avert it. They waited anXiously
for Borah today to make a prom
iSed elaboration of what course he
might pursue in the campaign.
Several lines of action remain
open to the western leader, who in
many previous battles has flung
down the party standard and then
picked it up again.
l. He might ignore the presiden-
tial campaign and devote his en-
ergies to campaigning for individ-
ual dry senators and congressman.
g. He might throw his support, or
at least his vote, to some other
presidential candidate.
8. He might head a third party,
though he said he had absolute
ly nothing in view along that line"

of the campaign might continue to

EXPLOSIVES SENT
TO WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, June 81. U.R-
Extra details of police patrolled
highways leading into Washington
today in search for a maroon
colored coupe repeatedly loaded
with high explosives.
Police warnings said the car left
New York yesterday afternoon,
driven by two desperate men who
will stop at nothing
The United States secret service
was said to have asked that the
car be stopped, although w. H.
Moran, chief of the service, said
he had no knowledge of the case.
The secret service is responsible
for protecting the President.
New York police were reported
to have expressed fear that the
occupants of the car planned to
blow up a government building.
Authorities here said they had no
knowledge as to the mission of the
men they were seeking. Neverthe-
less, extra guards were stationed
at the White House, capitol and
other federal buildings.
Maryland, Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey police also
were on the lookout along every
main highway.
In Washington, all available
motorcycle patrolmen and scout
cars were ordered to guard ap-
proaches to the city.

MANY CHANGES
In MINNESOTA

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 81. W.P)-
Return in MinneSota's state and
congressional primary today showed
that voters had turned away from
the present congressional delega-
ton.
Observers believed that at least
third of the Republican incum-
bentS would fail to be nominated
and the leaders on each of the
three major parties were not at
present congressman. 1t was the
states first "at-large" primary in
20 years.
Magnus Johnson, former dirt
farmer" senator from Minnesota
led the Farm-Labor ticket with
Paul Kvale, present Farmer-Labor
representative, apparently assured
of nomination.
Former Governors Theodore Chris
tianson and J. A. Burnquist were
leaders in the Republican primary
with Congressman Melvin J. Mas,
Harold Knutson, w. A. Pittenger,
w. I. Nolan and August H. Andre
sen among the first favored places.
Another leader was Ray p. Chase,
defeated two years ago by Cover

who was unopposed for renomina-
ton.
Einar Hoidale, Minneapolis attor-
ney who nearly won the senate
seat from Thomas Schall, led the

Earle Brown, Minneapolis mil
lionaire and endorsed by the state

apparently overwhelming lead over
Franklin Ellsworth, Minneapolis, In
the Republican gubernatorial con-

factions Of the Democratic party
were staging a close battle with

She was naturally wary, she told
the seven men and five women of
the jury, because two previous
marriages had ended in divorce for
her but Hutton's advances were so
impetuous that she could not
resist.
II hesitated at first the

National Chairman Will

Copyright, 1882, BY United Press)
CHICAGO, June 21.-Chairman
John j. Raskob of the Democratic
national committee arrived here to-
day to urge nomination "of a
strong man" by the Democrats and
to declare the Democratic party's
chances for victory the best since
the Civil war.
The diminutive millionaire, close
friend and sponsor of Alfred E.
Smith, Immediately began series
of conferences here concerning the
outlook of the stop Roosevelt
movement.
While Raskob has contended he is
neutral, he is classed by the Roose-
velt forces as an enemy.
Democrats, girding themselves
for their convention battle, were
encouraged today by the declara-
tion of Senator Borah that he
would not support President Hoov-
er on the Republican platform
adopted here last week.
a Republican, wringing wet a di-
rector and vice president of Gener-
al Motors, director in many large
corporations who rose from stem
ographer to millionaire, was called
to be Alfred E. Smiths campaign
manager in 1923. Unaware of many
of the intricacies of politics, he was
susceptible to all sorts of Demo-
cratic campaign fund "moochers. "
Some even sold him the idea he
could carry Republican Pennsylvan-
la for the Democrats if he would
only spend enough money.
So Raskob paid and paid. In
return he saw his campaign
smashed to splinters and his can
didate repudiated in all except
eight of the 48 states, a humili-
ating defeat in which even four
states of the solid south were lost.
But Raskob was no quitter. He
dug in cheerfully to pay eff debts
incurred in the campaign. He OBJ
tanned loans. Notes on these
amounting to almost half a mil
lion dollars are still unpaid. Re-
Gently Raskob cut the strings of
100000 he advanced to the victory
fund, and converted this into an
outright gift.
Now Raskob is attempting to COL
lect. He wants a platform plank
which will amend the 18th amend
ment. He seems likely TO get about
what he wants-simply because the
tide is running his way. He doesn't
want Roosevelt nominated-despit
his protestations of neutrality. But
he may lose on that. And he
would like to see Jouett Shouse,
who has been his chief lieutenant,
elected permanent chairman of the
convention. He appears likely to
lose that, also.
Such are the rewards in politics.
Former Gov Alfred E. Smith is
expected tomorrow. With his ar
rival the pre-conyention excitement
will rise to a high pitch and con-
tinue so through the momentouS
sessions beginning Monday.

WASHINGTON, June 81. tU.P -
Apparently convinced that the
bonus expeditionary force is here
to stay, Police Superintendent
Glassford is negotiating to rent q
vacant building that would house
1000 or 5000 of the army Of desti-
tute World war veterans.
Authorities have hoped from day
to day that the army would begin
to dissolve. Instead, it is their
hopes that have faded. Officials
now hope the veterans may begin
to leave when congress adjourns,
perhaps late this week.
But leaders Of the bonus army
assert confidently that this will no
more deplete the $4,000 now here
than did the senate vote last Fri
day by which the bonus bill was
killed.
The leaders have sent recruiting
agents to all parts OF the country
and confidently expect to increase
their forces here to $4,000. They
plan also to build up a reserve
strength of 10000 veterans 20
campaign at home against con-
gressmen who opposed the bonus.
Meanwhile the veterans at their
camps and billets throughout the
city have settled down to a dull
routine. Meals are regular though
meagre. There are all the details
they became accustomed TO during
the war-kitchen police. guard
duty and minute men lectures.
A bulletin board announces
under the caption Attention.
Mothers" that fresh milk may be
obtained for children at "the To-
ledo tent; follow the fence" Sew
eral families are still living at the
camp despite authorities efforts to
move them to better quarters.
