Special Dispatch to The Star
PHOENIX Ariz.. August 12.-Pro-
hibitionists threaten to take last Tues
days repeal victory to the State Su-
preme Court on the ground that the
method Of electing wet" delegates at
large instead of from different coun-
ties was unconstitutional. The anti
repealistS' effort to halt the election by
action in the Maricopa County Su-
perior Court failed two days before the
voting, when Judge G.. A. Rodgers dis
solved the injunction.
Gov B. B. Moeur, the country doctor
who defeated George w. P. Hunt, Ari-
Zona's seven-time Governor, in last
Falls primary and later won the gov
ernorship by the largest margin ever
given chief executive in the States
history. may face recall election Oc-
tcher g.
Proponents of the movement to re-
call the Governor claim to have within
5000 of the 10000 signatures necessary
to have Secretary of State James H
kerby set the recall for the next State
wide election, October 3, when Art-
zonans vote upon a successor to the
congressional seat vacated by Budget
Director Lewis w. Douglas.
Hunt Expected to Be Candidate.
Although disclaiming any part in the
recall movement, it is expected that
former Gov. Hunt will be candidate
against Gov. Moeur. K. Berry Peter
son, former attorney general, also Is
expected to be candidate.
President RooSevelt's national recov-
cry act is working out successfully in
Arizona. More than $500 citizens,
many unemployed for nearly three
years, have found work, according to
Lyle Owens, secretary of the Phoenix
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
More than 1,200 others have been
given work through the resumption OF
mining activities and the reopening OF
two lumber mills in Northern Arizona
Merchants in several sections of the
State are reporting benefits from the
location in Arizona of 10000 men in
civilian conservation camps. The pres
ence of these camps in various forests
have been of particular benefit to cat
tlemen and ranchers who are selling
supplies to the timber workers.
Operation of the shorter week in
Arizona will be enforced by the labor
department of the Arizona Industrial
Commission, according to j. Ney Miles,
chairman. Miles has directed agents
OF the labor department to make ar
rests under the State law of any en-
ployers violating the provisions of the
national recovery act where workers
are employed for periods longer than
eight hours per day.

finery at Glendale. 9 miles north Of
