COMPROMISE SEEN
FOR UTILITY BILL
Wheeler on Cruise With

Speculation over a compromise on
the deadlocked utility bill rose high
yesterday as Chairman Wheeler OF
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee accompanied President
Roosevelt on q week end fishing trip.
Wheeler. chief advocate OF outright
abolition OF unnecessary" holding
companies. holds the key TO the solu-
ton OF the deadlock between the
House and Senate over the death
sentence" clause. He had suggested
Friday the possibility OF working out
q compromise.
Committee In Recess.
While the President conferred with
the Montana Senator. the two lobby
committees which have been pro-
viding much of the fireworks for the
hotly disputed controversy were in
recess. both probably until Tuesday.
Investigators kept busy. however,
Aeeking new evidence.
President Roosevelt, accompanied
by Wheeler and Mrs. Wheeler, John

tary. left the White House by auto

area.
Conference Planned.
Wheeler will confer early this week
with his Senate conferees on the util-
ity bill TO determine whether they will
yield TO the House and exclude Ben
Cohen. administration aide, from the
sessions. 1t was generally expected
that they would give In. in an effort
TO save the utility measure.
With Cohen out, the long delayed
conferences could open the effort to
write legislation acceptable to both
Houses. While 1t was generally con-
ceded there would be a compromise,
some administration leaders main
tanned that the principle OF the SEN
ate bill would be retained.
House conferees also were appar-
emily in conciliatory mood. Repre-
sentative Huddleston. Democrat. Of
Alabama, who led the fight against
Cohen's participation in the confer
ences. said Il won't say the House
won't yield on the death sentence"

SWEEPS KENTUCKY
Primary Stirs Bitter Words
as Troops March in
"BIoody Harlan"
BY the Associated Press.


LOUISVILLE. KY. August s.
Factional animus famed out in
arrests, embittered charges and hur-
ried court hearings in Kentucky's
primary election today. National
Guard guns covered Harlan County.
Circuit Judge James M. Gilbert en-
joined the troops from interfering
with the Harlan election eight hours
after 700 occupied the county at
dawn. Commanded by Adjt Gen
Henry H. Denhardt, the soldiers
quizzed voters and examined ballot
boxes and books. They arrested at
least seven election officers. Six to
eleven men patrolled each precinct
Gen. Denhardt ordered all but so
of his men back, home tonight. The
officials they had detained were freed
Election Steal Held Stopped.
I'VE stopped the most stupendous,
well planned election steal ever at
tempted in Kentucky" Denhardt
said. Chandler would have gotten
$1,000 votes had We not been here" 4"
He estimated 5000 Democratic and
1000 Republican votes were cast.
Denhardt answered statements that
no executive order was issued for the
Harlan march by saying he had fled
1t in his safe IN Frankfort. The
Secretary of State today said in
Frankfort that 1t had not been en-
tered in the executive journal.
Judge Gilbert ordered the injunc-
ton served on Gen. Denhardt at
Harlan. He said the general was in
contempt II he had taken troops to
Harlan, because Of a previous injunc-
ton forbidding it.
Guardsmen closed polls at Clover
splint because they opened by East
ern time instead of Central. Twenty
votes had been cast.
Rhea and Chandler Swap Blows.
Gov. Ruby Laffoons administration
has favored Thomas S. Rhea for the
Democratic nomination. His princi-
pal opponent has been Lieut.. Gov.
A. B. Happy" Chandler, backed by
former Highway Chairman Ben john
son and former U. S. Senator and
Governor j. C. w. Beckham.
These major factions have flung
charges OF waste, nepotiSm and cor
ruption at each other from the stump
and over the radio for six weeks.
Accompanied by epithets such as
Judas" Benedict Arnold" and 'po-
liticsl murder" three independent
candidates have had at both Of them
with comparable vim.
Rhea today said he did net know
anything about the troops being in
Harlan. Chandler called 1t a move
to try to swing the election for Tom
Rhea." State Treasurer Elam Hud-
dleston called it a political trick"
Frederick A. Wallis Of Paris, former
New York Police Commissioner, de-
plored intimidation of voters.
Law Violation Charged.
The Louisville city machine is sup
porting Rhea. The Louisville Times
today charged that 'it was function
ing in high gear in the Black Belt"
The paper said election laws were
being violated.
The Jefferson County Oouisville)
machine supports Chandler. Six State
policemen were arrested today when
they disobeyed the sheriff's order to
get out of the county.
Meanwhile the Republicans nomi-
mated candidates quietly. Judge King
Swope. Endorsed for Governor by most
county organizations, declined to
comment of the Harlan occupation.
One Of his opponents, Judge D. M.
Bingham, called 1t an insult to the
people. Judge Sam Hurst, the other,
also condemned it.
