K|DNAP HUNT

ST. PAUL, Mimi. June 20
G.NSO.-William Hamm, jr., mil
lionaire brewer, will personally
lead the search for the hideout in
the Minnesota lake regions where
he was held captive for nearly
four days by kidnapers.
He was freed yesterday upon
payment of ransom said to be
less than 100000.
Police announced today that the
general location of the hideout has
been discovered about two hours
drive from st. Paul and that
Hamm will accompany posse in
an effort to locate the abductors.
The spot, according to police, is on
a well-traveled highway near
where the ransom package was
tossed to the kidnapers at Pine
City, Mimi, last Saturday night.
Two months ago, police received
a tip that Verne Sankey, believed
to be the leader in the Hamm and
other kidnapings, was in hiding
near Pine City with Gordon Al
corn, one of his lieutenants. It
was reported he had been there
since the Boettcher kidnapping in

GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, LON.
DON, June 20 GN.SO AS a pre-
lude to dramatic flareup within
the ranks of his own delegation to
the strife-torn world economic con-
ference, Secretary of State Cordell
Hull today had half-hour
audience with King George.
The chief of the American dele
CATION returned to the Geological
Museum from Buckingham Palace
to confront the ire of Senator
James Couzens, of Michigan.
Demands Definite Policy
The Michigan Senator, only
Republican member of the dele
cation, demanded unity and cohe-
sion among the American repre-
sentatives, heatedly declaring the
time has come for the United
States to follow a definite, posi-
tive policy-be it national or in.
ternational.
While there was no official de.
scription of CouzenS' unexpected
lecture" to the delegation, it
was generally understood he
spoke his mind" about the trend
of the conference and the Amer
ican position with reference to it.
Behind closed doors Couzens was
reported to have called an end to
such tactics as those of Saturday,
when American experts proposed
a. 10 per cent horizontal tariff

PROFIT TAKING
HITS STOCKS

NEW YORK, June 20 Q.N.SO.
A flood of profit-taking combined
with failure of commodities to
maintain yesterdays dizzy pace
today curbed the new initiation
boom in the stock market after
an early upsurge.
Bullish sentiment was still ram
pant, however, buoyed by a fresh
fall in the dollar to a discount Of
"a per cent, or the equivalent of
rs cents.
This supported the list, and
while a number of leaders like
U. S. Steel, American Telephone,
and Du Pont at times dipped un-
der the previous close, the ma
jority of issues retained part OF
the initial gains, running from 1
to more than 3 points.
Wheat was up nearly a cent a
bushel and cotton so cents a bale
at one time, but these advances
were given up later.
Gains were unsettled by lower
temperatures over the drought
threatened Northwest. Specula-
tive bonds were buoyant, while
curb and bank stocks followed the
big board.

ROOSEVELT, June 20 UN.SD .
Pulling out of Nantucket harbor
at 6 a. M, President Roosevelt put
out to sea around Cape Cod and
headed the schooner Amberjack II
northward toward Provlncetown
early today.
He used the small auxiliary
motor to push the yacht speedily
out of the harbor and to the tip
of the cape. Just as the Amber
jack II rounded the cape, the
Presidents eldest son, James,
hoisted the mainsail and the can
YES filled to a brisk easterly wind.
There were 80 miles in the
course between Nantucket and
Provincetown, and Mr.. Roosevelt
expected to make the harbor there
by nightfall, given favorable
weather.
Smiling skies greeted the Am
berjack II as she slipped into the
open sea off Cape Cod, and a long
and easy ground swell kept the
little craft rolling pleasantly.
There were promises of wind in
the sky, according to seamen
aboard the press power cruiser
Comanche.
For the first time since the
start of the presidential vacation,
his schooner was in the coaStwise
sea lanes today. and the Amber
lack flag was bobbing up and
down frequently as the Executive
replied to dipping color salutes Of
passing ships.
