FACES
TESTS IN TWO
MORE STATES
Setbacks in California and
South Dakota Would
Change Situation
HASTINGS, NEW DEAL
CRITIC WILL RESIGN
BY JOHN r. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nav 4. (UP)
Gov. Alfred NJ. Landon, of Kan
sas, his prospects for the Repub-
lican nomination frightened by
victory over a field of rivals in
Massachusetts, faces important
contests in California and South
Dakota primaries Tuesday.
Today Maryland is holding its
primary election with chief inter-
est centered in the size of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's endorsement for
denomination over his conserva-
tive Democratic opponent, Col.
Henry Breckenridge. Republicans
assert that if Breckenridge polls.
as many as 10000 votes it will
indicate a victory in November
for the G. o. P. candidate in their
state. The Republicans will elect
delegates to a state convention,
the date of which has not yet
been fixed. which will name a
delegation to the Cleveland con-
vention instructed for Governor
Harry w. Nice.
Despite Landon's present lead,
five weeks remain before the G.
o. p. convention meets at Cleve-
land June 9, and set-backs for the
Kansan in the two western states
would change the situation con-
siderably, although it would not
necessarily stop his drive for the
nomination.
In California William Randolph
Hearst and Gov. Frank Merriam
have entered a slate of delegates
pledged to Landon, although he
refused to endorse or repudiate
the movement. Opposing this
slate is one backed by former
President Hoover, who wants it
unrestricted.
Mr.. Hoover, without plans to
obtain the nomination himself,
will require strong vote for his
delegates Tuesday if he is to re-
tain the position as adviser on
party policies which he seems to
desire.
In South Dakota the lineup is
Landon VS.. Sen. VIM. E. Borah.
An uninstructed delegation favor
able to the Kansas governor is
by slate pledged to the
Idaho senator. Borah, an early
leader in the G. o. P. nomination

Handsome young man who MUIR
dered Mrs. Z. Y. Mcconnell, pref
ty 23-year-old mother of twin
baby girls. in her own apartment,
was pushed with the greatest Sc
crccy today.
A lynching was feared should
information leak out prematurely
that likely suspect had been ar

Police hoped to link the killer
to his inhuman crime through the
pattern of his rubber heel, i'm
printed on Mrs. McConnelPs alb
domen. This print, and the young
mothers incoherent mumblings
before she died were almost the
only clues. :,
"a white man did it | don't
remember he dragged me
into the room | let him in =. .
He said he came came for
me-" was her pitiful account of
the tragedy.
The murderer gained entrance
to the McConnelps fashionable
apartment on some preteXt Thurs
day afternoon. She asked the
man to be seated, according to an
account pieccd together by nurses
caring for the dying woman.
Then he struck her. Both Jaws

and stripped her, and left her. al

Mrs. Mcconnell was able to
give one piercing scream before
she was knocked unconscious.
Mrs. Joe Sessions. neighbor,
heard her, but before she could
get to the Mcconnell apartment,
the killer had fled,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcconnell came
here from Birmingham in Janu-
airy. He is manager of a theatre:
He said he believed a sex-mad
maniac attacked his wife, and this
theory was borne out by accounts
of women in the neighborhood.
Mrs. Fannie SnOdgrass and
Mrs. S. r. Hipp told police that
an unknown "husky, handsome
young man who wore no hat, had
on a dark suit and white shoes"
attempted to enter their homes IN
the vicinity of the Mcconnell
apartment that same afternoon.
Another lead on which officers
were working was the finding OF
an old pocketbook belonging to
the murdered woman in an auto
mobile parked downtown. The
owner of the car had a perfect
abb, police said, but they were
hopeful that the pocketbook may
aid in the investigation.
Yesterday afternoon, officers
became convinced the owner OF
the car in which the pocketbook
was found was innocent of any
connection with the crime.
