William Fox, the film magnate,
was excused from testifying to-
day before the Senate Banking

investigation of the New York
stock market after two physicians
named by the committees special
counsel had examined him at a

charged that Fox was deliberately
avoiding appearance under a sub
poena.
A counter charge that Gray
had used unfair and bludgeoning
tactics in a long private exami-
nation of Fox was made by Fox's
personal attorney, Benjamin
Reass.
Gray had told the committee
he would submit evidence show
ing that Fox manipulated the

CHICAGO, June 16 (I.N.S.).
Vice President Charles Curtis
appeared certain of renomina-
tion today in the first ballot,
largely because of the failure
of his critics to agree upon
any formidable opponent
around whom to rally.
A poll of the 1854 delegates to
the Republican national conven-
ton by International News Ser
vice revealed 594 votes sure for
Curtis, or '16 more than the 57S
necessary to nominate. In addi-
ton, there were SO votes which
in all probability will be cast for
him, for a comfortable total OF
677.
21S Against Him
Only 218 votes could be counted
against the Kansan in opposition,
and he may get some of these
even if no outstanding man S
placed in nomination against him.
This left 259 in doubt, and
that doubt was due to be dis
PEELED during the course OF the
day through caucuses among the
State delegations.
Definite refusal of Charles
Gates Dawes to permit the use
Of his name seemingly had re-
suited in a general collapse OF the
anti-Curtis movement, which up
to yesterday morning had as
sumed such proportions that the
former Vice Presidents selection
over Curtis looked like a GER
tainty.
The poll stood as follows:
Sure for Curtis: Arizona, 9;
