Whether he decides for Mrs.
Gloria Vanderbilt, mother of the
little $4,0O0,O0O heiress, or the
child'S paternal aunt. fabulously
wealthy Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney, his opinion is likely to be-
come a famous one in American
Jurisprudence.

United States Embassy in Paris,
brother of Mrs. Vanderbilt, was
on the stand under direct ex-
animation by his sisters counsel,
Nathan. Burkan, when Judge
Carew adjourned the hearing un-

AUTO V|OLA7ORS
WAY LOSE TAGS

Flagrant violators of traffic reg
ulations would lose their license
tags under a plan being considered
today by District officials.
The proposal is one of a mum
ber under consideration in the
drive to reduce traffic accidents.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman stated that, in his
opinion, the District Commission
ers have full authority to carry
out the plan.
Instead of giving a ticket for
each violation of minor regula-
tions, the plan being considered
calls for the distribution of warn
ings, a record of which would be
kept at the Traffic Bureau. If
the violators continued breaking
the law, the license plates of their
automobile would be recalled.

RESTORED PAY.
SEEN NEAR

Full restoration of Govern
ment salaries was foreshadowed
today with the revelation that the
Budget Bureau has instructed
all Government departments to
submit their estimates for 1886
on the basis of a 100 per cent
salary schedule.
It was revealed that D. w.
Bell, acting budget director, in
requesting estimates, instructed
department heads to prepare
their budgets with a view toward
restoring the remaining five per
cent of Government salaries.
Mr.. Bell said, however, that his
instructions should not be con-
strued to men that his bureau
will approve the full restora-
ton.
It will be remembered that in
submitting the 1885 estimates to
the Budget Director, department
heads recommended IS per cent
restoration. When the budget
was submitted to Congress, the
bureau had requested funds for
only S per cent restoration. Con-
gress subsequently legislated for
the restoration of 10 per cent.
Despite the budget directors
warning that the bureau may not
recommend repeal of the pay cut,
Government employees have high
hopes that, beginning with the
new fiscal year. or before, they
may be receiving their salaries
as they were prior to the economy
act.

President to Visit
Destroyer Here

President Roosevelt plans to
visit the destroyer Farragut at
the Navy Yard sometime tomor-
row, expressing himself today as
extremely interested, as an old
Navy hand, in seeing this up-to-
date type of war vessel.
The President denied himself to
all callers today, concentrating on
the vast mass of correspondence
which has piled up in the White
House offices this past week.
There are indications that the
President is quite satisfied with
the prospective outcome OF the
voting a week from next Tuesday,
but there is a heavy lid clampsd
down on all inquiries concerning
specific political fights.

FARLEY SHAKEN
BY CAMPAIGN /
BULLS
Four Errors Start Talk Party,
Chief May Give Up One
of His Two Jobs
BY EARL GOODWIN

Four errors in campaign letters
going out from the Democratic ma
tional committee headquarters
here, which have reached front
pages of newspapers, are said to
be causing so much trouble for the
Democratic chieftains there is talk
about Postmaster General Farley
giving up one of his two jobs.
He is now the conspicuous ex-
ception to the Presidents policy
of not permitting Federal officers
holding political jobs, as he is
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee and hard at
work on the business of electing a
Democratic Congress on Novem-
ber 6.
IndOrses Three Senators
In addition to the "bull" which
permitted a form letter indorsing
Upton Sinclair to get into the
hands Of a man in Southern Cali
fornia, the Democratic commit
tees office force here has sent out
a letter indorsing three candidates
for the Senate from Montana.
In that State James E. Murray
a Democrat, is running against
Scott Leavitt, Republican, for the
unexpired term of the late Sena-
tor Thomas j. Walsh, who died
March 2 1888.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
Democrat, is running for the regu-
lar term beginning January 3,
1885 against Republican George
M. Bourquin. This double ticket
would be enough to fill the two
Montana seats. A third Senator
from Montana would have to sit
in the aisle.
The third error is the official
Endorsement by the Democratic
national committee of B. Carroll
Reece, Republican candidate for
the House in the First Tennessee
district.
No Democrat is running in that
district, but an independent can
didate. whose name does not ap-
pear on any of the official lists in
Washington, is said to be opposing
Mr.. Reece.
Another "Slight" Error
The national committees letter
campaign has also indorsed Rep
resentative John H. Hoeppel, Dem
ocrat, of the Twelfth California
district as a 100 per cent sup
porter of the New Deal when, as a
matter of record, he has been al
most a hundred per cent in oppo-
Sition.
These errors, it was explained
today by Democratic leader, are
attributed in part, to lack of CO.
operation between the Democratic
national committee and the Dem
ocratic congressional campaign
committee which, it is under
stood, had a letter campaign in
view which took into considera-
ton the exact situation in each
district. This plan was Scrapped
in favor of the national commit
tees plans which have resulted in
these freak Endorsements.
Made It Plain
An effort was made yesterday to
show the Administration has been
at one time or another, behind the
Sinclair candidacy, but at the
Presidents conference with the
press late yesterday he made
it plain he would not take
part in any State politics.
But around the President daily
are men who are taking at least
a sporting interest in the Sinclair
campaign.
They say Sinclair has now about
a $3.50 chance instead Of the big
lead he had when he started
several weeks ago.
