BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 13-Penn-
sylvania will stand in the Repub-
lican National Convention plat
form fight for "resubmission" not
repeal" of the eighteenth amend
ment.
This was the prediction of Gen.
Edward Martin, chairman of the
State Republican Committee and
a delegate at large, who is run
ming the Pennsylvania delega-
ton in the absence of William S.
Ware, after the delegation had
held its first meeting in Chicago
today.
In other words, the Keystone
State leaders plan to back the adj
miniStration. A check for the re-
pealers. RumblingS are heard,
however, that the wetter element
is to make a fight for a repeal
plank. But the leaders believe
they can hold them down. Penn
Sylvania, apparently, has SO far
refused to follow New York's dele
CATION into the repeal camp. The
second largest delegation in the
convention must be considered
aligned with the administration
up tc date.
Mrs. Gam in Chicago.
Next in interest to the apparent de-
termination of the Pennsylvania outfit
to play the administration game today
was the arrival here Of Mrs. Dolly
Gam, sister of Vice President Curtis.
She is here to look after the interests
OF her distinguished brother, at whose
political crown members OF the Re-
publican National Committee have been
taking hot shots since they gathered
in the convention city.
He should be renOminated for Vice
President, and everybody in the coun-
try knows it." said Mrs. Gam, referring
to Vice President Curtis. Mrs. Gam at
first would not even agree there was a
fight on over the vice presidential NOM
ination. but insisted there was not the
slightest doubt about the selection OF
Nj; Curtis.
Mrs. Gam. accompanied by Mr.
Gam arrived at the Palmer HOuSs
early today, where she was met With
due ceremony by the manager of the
hotel and escorted to her apartments
A dozen pieces Of baggage arrived witt
her. In a brief time she made her ap-
pearance at the Republican headquar-

ately went into action. She has cam
paigned for the Republican cause
widely. not only in the 1928 campaign
but since then. She has a speaking en-
gagement now in Newport, R. l., or
June "a.
Mrs. Gam was asked how President
Hoover felt about the denomination OF
her brother for Vice President. The
President speaks for himself was her
reply declining to attempt to quote Mr.
Hoover.
The Presidents aids out here are
speaking for Curtis. however and Ogden
Mills, Secretary of the Treasury, and
Postmaster General Walter Brown have
declared for the denomination OF the
Vice President.
Martin Praises Hoover.
Senator Bingham, head of the Con-
necticut delegation, said today that the
delegation from his State would be
"strong for repeal in the plank dealing
with prohibition. He looked askance at
the New York resolution, which was
interpreted widely as declaration Tor
repeal. He seemed to think it contained
a Joker and might be construed in the
end as merely a reSubmisSion PROPOSE
ton. but others, including the New
Workers themselves, seemed to think
they had adopted very wet resolution
at the caucus last night.
If repeal plank is presented on the
floor of the national convention. either
bv the Platform Committee or as a
minority report not all of New York's
81 delegates will vote for it. A con-
siderable number of the delegates are
unwilling TO 60 that far, it was said
today. Gen. Martin. opening the eau
Gus of the Pennsylvania delegation
urged the delegates to keep their feet
on the ground. He gave high praise tc
President Hoover, whose name was
cheered by the group. Although Ware
the Philadelphia boss and chairman OF
the delegation, was unable to be pres

sisted that Wares name should be car
