In The Sir Walter Hotel,

RALEIGH. Jan. 25-The belief Is
growing stronger daily in political
circles here that Willard Dowell, ut
present secretary of the North Caro-
lima Merchants Association, will an
nounce soon as 9 candidate for the
Democratic nomination for State all
ditor. opposing the denomination OF
State Auditor Baxter Durham. 1t Is
being noted that Dowell attended the
mid-winter meeting of the North Car
DINA Press Association in Chapel kill
This week and fraternized with the
newspaper publishers, and editors
regarded as a sure sign iby many tnat
he is already a candidate. 1t is also
understood that Dowell received con-
siderable encouragement from a num-
Der Of the editors and publishers pre-
sent at the meeting.
If Dowel1 does definitely announce
as a candidate against Maxter Dur
ham, the opinion in most circles mere
is that he will stand at least a fifty
fifty chance to win the nomination.
In fact, he is the only candidate
mentioned as a possible opponent OF
Durham in several years regarded as
having anything like a good chance
to defeat him. It is also being pointed
out that if the rumored revolt against
the present set of State officials is as
great as it is supposed to be, that
Dowell will be selecting the proper
time to make his race. Others mann

A terrific battle in northern
Ethiopia in which many hum
dred men were killed and
wounded was confirmed today
by both Italian and Ethiopian
governments.
Other than agreeing that the battle
lasted about three days with great
number of casualties-more than all
the rest Of the campaign put together
the government announcements
were contradictory.
The Italians claimed that the Eth
iopians had attempted to necircle a
division of Eritrean native troops and
a Fascist blackshirt division In the
mountains of the TemToien area, but
had been repulsed with heavy losses,
leaving the Italians completely VIC
torious in the field.
The Philippians claimed that the
two italian units had been outflank-
ed and cut to pieces by armies under
the command of Ras Kassa and Ras
SeyOum.
italian authorities said their terri
torial gain had been only slight, but
that the moral effect on the Ethio-
plans would be large; the Philippians
said their victory gave promise that
with the aid of continued rains, they
would sweep the Italians out of at
least half the territory lost in north
ern Ethiopia. A victory celebration
began in Adds Ababa.
