PARTY SESSIONS
FACING DELAY
Slow Count JeopardizeS
Holding Conventions
on Saturday.

Difficulties encountered by pre-
cinct election boards in counting
and canvassing the votes cast on
the bulky ballots used yesterday, to-
gether with the slowness of the
final returns, caused leaders in both
Democratic and Republican parties
to doubt today if the conventions
for the election of new county chair
men could be held Saturday.
The law requires that the precinct
committeeman elected yesterday, to-
gether with the vice. committeemen
they select, gather at a place deSig-
mated by the retiring county chair
man at l D. m. Saturday and pro-
coed to name a county chairman.
Both H. Nathan Swain, Demo-
cratic county leader, and Edgar
Hart, Republican leader, were
doubtful today if many of the vic
toriouS committeeman can obtain
their credentials from the precinct
board and have them certified in
time to take part in the voting.
w. w. Spencer, one of the state
election commissioners, was re-
luctant to pass an individual opinion
today on what might happen if the
convention is not held as required
by law Saturday. but ventured the
opinion that in the time intervening,
enough committeeman > form a
quorum will be determined.
Mr. Swain suggested that it might
be possible to call the meeting at
the specified hour and, in the alb
sence of quorum, adjourn until such
a quorum is gained.
Speculation today as to who may
be named chairman found two
names most mentioned.

She told Mr.. Thompson she

Il just went wild" the alleged

F. S. Schilling, coroner, will hold

Strom pending further investigation.

Morrissey in the suit which
seeks to restrain police from
the use of brutal force and
unwarranted violence" in the
handling of strikers, attempt

The suit was filed by Joseph Gal

While process servers we're look

PETERS CLAIMS
STATE VICTORY
GreenIee Ranks Are Split,
Power on Wane, He
Declares.

r. Earl Peters, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator, today claimed he
has broken the efficiency of the
Greenlee-made state Democratic
machine and has obtained conven-
ton delegates, even in the home
districts of statehouse politicians.
Peters workers predicted he will
carry the majority of delegates
in every district by slight margin
and that his nomination and cleo
ton as United States senator is
certain, following yesterdays pri-
mary results.
In his home district, FIT. Wayne,
Peters is said to have swamped the
Statehouse machine by nomination
of virtually all his own hand picked
delegates.
Marion county, which is supposed
to be loyal to the state administra-
ton, is expected to support Peters
in the ballot count, his workers as
Sert.
The delegates elected in yester-
days primary will nominate the
candidates for senator, other mem
bers of the state ticket and will
adopt a party platform at the con-
vention here June II.

MARITAL TANGLE IS
ENDED BY SUICIDE
Young Wife Shoots Self in
Triangle Case.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, May 9.-An expert
ment in modern morals ended in
tragedy today for two young couples
who believed that marriage should
not fetter love.
Mrs. Edna Hamm, 25, ended with
a bullet through her head a four
cornered tangle of emotions. Her
youthful husband, a night student
at Northwestern university. was
held in jail to prevent his own sui
eide. Mrs. Allie Nelson, IS, the
other woman" wept in her hus-
bands arms and begged forgiveness.
Mrs. Hamm shot herself after she
discovered her husband and Mrs.
Nelson in the Hamm home. Hamm
told police that for two years he
and Mrs. Nelson had associated
"platonically" and made no secret
of the fact that they were in love
with each other.
The bizarre situation was dis
cussed between all four principals,
Hamm said, and decision reached
to lust wait and see if it would
blow over"

ing Floyd L. Young, Vincennss at
torney, 1856 to 6,917 with 1877 pre-
cincts reported. Young's candidacy
was sponsored by the Governor.
In the Ninth district, Representa-
tive Eugene Grove found a worthy
opponent in Harry G. Garfield,
Batesville, who served in congress
from 1924 to 1880. Returns from
156 out of 421 precincts gave Grove
lead of 9,767 to 8,410

400 votes, a position that was viewed
with surprise by many political OBJ
servers.
Strife Is Evidenced
Internal strife in the regular Re-
publican organization was evidenced
clearly in the Republican race for
county clerk where Edgar Hart, the
Republican county chairman, was
opposed by George o. Hutsell.
Hart, with the power of the ma
chine behind him, held a lead of
only 2,116 to 1880 for Hutsell with
fifty precincts tabulated.
A runaway was staged in the
superior court two race where Will
liam Duke Balm promised to top
the judicial ticket in his contest
with David F. Smith. Bar associa-
ton Endorsements were needed in
most of the Republican judicial
races with the exception of that for
superior court three where George
A. Henry was leading j. Clyde Hoff-
man by large margin.
Herbert M. Spencer sWamped his
two opponents for the Democratic
nomination for prosecuting attorney,
on the basis of returns from ITO
precincts.
Spencer Far in Front
Spencer topped George S. Daley,
1881 to BIAS while Russell j. Dean
was running a poor third with $3.50.
Democratic organization choices
obviously were romping to an easy
victory in the judicial races and
there apparently was little contest
in the majority of the other county
offices.
A race close all the way was
noted in the contest for Center
township assessor, where the in
cumbent, John McCloskey, was
frcwned upon by the Democratic
organization. James F.. Cunning
ham, the slated candidate, led Nc
Closkey 5000 to 1910 with ninety
six precincts tabulated.
Few figures were available in
either Republican or Democratic
races for state representative.
Times Slate in Front
Early tabulations showed Albert
Beverage Jr., Laurens L. Hender-
son, Mrs. Marjorie Roemler Kin
naird, Conrad Ruckeshaus, all of
whom were slated by The Times,
were well in front Ralph Whit
taker, another slated candidate, was
running poorly.
One of the biggest runaways in
either party was in the Republican
contest for probate judge. Unofficial
tabulations were discontinued when
Lloyd Claybombe piled up a 1850 to
444 count against Richard L. Low
ther in fifty precincts.
Prosecutor Herbert Wilson, run
ming for the Democratic nomination
in superior court five, was far ahead
of Chalmer Schlosser at the tabula-
ton Of 101 precincts. The prosecu-
tor held 2-to-1, lead.
Baker Faction Hit
Slap at the prestige of the Cox
Baker, rossart courthouse insur-
gent faction in the Democratic
ranks was seen in the drubbing re-
ceived by Bruce Short, county sur
veyor, in his race for county treas
urer.
Frank Mckinney, regular organi-
zation choice, was far in front at
118 precincts with a vote of 1896.
Short had only 4,46O.
Grossart himself was doing well.
however, and had almost a 5-to-f
