Other Contests

Other Contests
 Hartford, Conn, Nov 11.-(UP) Democratic leaders decided to- day not to contest the apparent election of pr William L. Higgins, republican, as congressman from the second Connecticut district. However, a few hours before the party leaders announced their de- cision here, William E. Fox the evidently defeated democratic can didate, told the United Press he had engaged counsel and would carry his fight to the congressional committee on contested claims.
 One possible contest was elim- mated from the troubled post-elec- ton scene when John Buckley, re- publican leader of Union, an- nounced that he conceded election of Edward R. Dimock, democrat. as state senator from the 35th' dis trict.
 If republican leaders decide to concede election of William, Con- ley, democrat, in the 21st district the democrats will be assured of 18-17 control of the state senate. The decision not to contest the second district congressional re- suit was reached in conference
 in which Gov Wilbur l.. Cross. U
 S. Senator Augustine Lonergan l Democratic State Chairman David
 A. Wilson and Attorney Henry J.
 Calnen participated this morning. Wilson issued the following statement:
 Consideration was given to the advisability of asking for a re-
 count in several towns of the sec- ond congressional district where a substantial number of ballots ap- peared to have been improperly excluded but it was decided to take no action at this time" Meanwhile there was a possibil- ity republicans might contest the results in the 21st and 35th sena- torial districts, where /democrats apparently won by slim margins. The chief objects of democratic attack, should the governor au- thorize contests, are expected to be the results of the congress 'Snal fights in the fifth and second dis tricts and the vote for Lieutenant- governor. Although unofficial count ing agencies had agreed that Mar tin E. Gormley, democrat, was elected fifth district congressman, later checks showed several towns

 the election-night rush and that Congressman Edward w. Goss ap-
 parently had been reelected by a
 republican plurality of less than 100. The final United Press tabu- lation gave Goss an advantage oi 94

 returns seemed to bear out the re-
 publican's success, the difference
 between the two candidates was so small a recount was possible. If democratic wins in the Fist
 and 35th senatorial districts are substantiated, the democrats will
 hold a majority of one in the state senate and reorganization of that
 body will result.

CLASS OFFERS
NEW BANK BILL

The new compromise banking
bill, proposing a 100000, 900 Fed
eral corporation to liquidate the
assets of closed banks, control
branch banking and with powers
to ban undue diversion Of funds
into speculative operations, was
introduced in the Senate this
afternoon by Senator Glass CD I,
of Virginia, a former Secretary
of the Treasury.
The liquidation corporation
would be set up on a permanent
basis for aiding closed national
banks, but would be authorized
to aid closed State banks for a
period of two years. This was
the most important feature Of
the bill.
The restrictions laid down
against member banks of the
Federal Reserve System to pre-
vent undue diversion Of funds
into speculative channels were
rather drastic.
The total loans for speculative
purposes at any one time would
be limited to 10 per cent Of the
banks outstanding capital stock
and surplus.

graphs of the stage productions of Grand Hotel' in Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Rome, London and Paris.
 He found out several things at once: First, that all the actresses who played the role of Grusins- kaya, the dancer, seemed to have accepted similar interpretations of the character, but that the por- trayers of Kringelein, the pathetic little clerk who thinks he has only few days to live, strikingly differ ent.
 There was no doubt in Goulding's s mind whom Grusinskaya was going to be in the film: She would be the great Garbo.
 But who would he choose for the dapper baron who was also a thief? Who would play that pert stenographer, Flaemmchen? Who would be the sbell-shocked doctor? :? Who would act Senf,, the porter? |? Who would portray Preysing. that buli-necked man who lost his hon. esty in one split second? And above all, who would, who could, play Kringelein--perhaps the fattest part of all?
 No such catacIysmic event as the casting of Grand HoteP' had ever rocked the walls of Hollywood. No such rush of applicants for roles had ever been recorded. Here was fame for the fortunate, fame in a film that was bound to succeed!
 Here. too, were roles that actors and actresses could set their teeth in; chara acterizations that lived, in- dividuals as human as life itself! No wonder Hollywood felt that Grand HoteT' was fever In it's blood.
 Consider the case of Marie Dressler! She is the most success full money-making star on the screen. She has come up from be- ing nobody and nothing to become the seasons sensation.
 Yet she rushes into Goulding's office to get herself role in Grand Hotel" She is willing to be nos body and nothing as far as the picture Is concerned.
 The only role she can play Is that of scrubwoman who appears only for a few seconds. But she wants that role. She longs for 1t. And Is refused!
 She cites the fact that Chaplin played a porter in one of his pie lures. that Rex Ingram cast him. self as an Arab in film he di- rected. It is no use. There is no part in Grand Hotel" for Marie.
