.HUEYS TROOPS
PREPARED FOR
INSTANT ACTION
5000 Soldiers Confined to
New Orleans Barracks;
Outbreak Feared.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8-The
Louisiana national guard, modified
here by Senator Huey P. Long
dictator" of New Orleans, today
was ordered to prepare itself for in
slant action. Leaves were Cancelled
and 5000 troops we're rightly con-
fined to Jackson barracks and state
owned dock buildings.
City authorities, Longs bitter
political enemies, obviously sus-
pected some immediate move to en-
force twenty-six new state laws
that strip the municipal government
Of much of its power.
Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley took
secret precautions against immedi-
ate seizure of city offices by troops
and against use of troops to sway
the result of Tuesdays congressional
primary in which three Long can
didates are entered. He commanded
a force of 1900 regular and special
policemen, as fully armed, if not as
well trained, as the military.
The city was quiet, Long was 81
lent, but politicians on both sides
were hysterical from a constant sue
cession of rumor and half truth
Longs henchmen had no notion
what the KingfiSh planned. He
trusts no lieutenant and rules his
machine by fear.
The old reo11larc cI10r1O1.teYc OF tbe
local government, were fearful, but
determined. They recalled the last
election mere controlled by the
KingfiSh's election commissioners.
The new orders to troops were is
sued soon after the supreme court
ruled out the most important, from
the viewpoint of the Long ma
chine, of the laws recently passed by
his subservient legislature. 1t en-
powered election commissioners. al
Long men, to appoint as many spe-
cial guards" for polling places as
they deemed necessary at IS a day
each, which the city would have tt
pay.
Only Long knew the connection
if any, between the supreme court
ruling and the order to troops anc
he was the only one who knew how
soon or in what way the 5000 SOL
diers he assembled here yesterday
from every part of Louisiana would
eventually play in the tense drama
centering around the primary.

On her first voyage she reached
Havana in fifty-nine hours, not a

the record of less than fifty hours.
The Moro Castle held the record for

at Asbury Park.
THE entire ship was ablaze from

Asbury Park reported. I'm the dark

Every hospital along the north
shore of New Jersey was notified to
be in readiness to receive survivors,
