WOMAN IS FREED
 OF CONSPIRACY

Hagerstown, Mir, May 23-(UP)- A jury of men acquitted blonde Mrs. Anne Lydanne in 50 minutes last night of charge that she son. spired with hoodlumS to murder her husband.
 John Roland, @ Washington garm- bier, was convicted a few weeks ago of conspiracy in the same case and is serving four years sentence.
 Mrs. Lydanne's husband, Francis Lydanne, Rockville cafe propri- etor, patted her on the back and walked with her from the court room, although he has separated from her and heard her tell during her trial of an amorous cemetery tryst with Darnestown garage owner.
 He wanted to testify for her, as he did in @ previous trial which re- suited in a hung jury, but the court barred him after prosecutors argued that his appearance would be "con- trary to public policy.
 The state charged that Mrs. Lyd- anne, 30, employed Roland and John Fl. (Googy) Carnell, an ex- convict and former Rockville bar tender, to kill Ter husband for the sake of her cemetery lover and 8 $15,00 double indemnity life insur- ance policy.

the nominating conventions. Most of those leaders met in Smiths skyscraper office in April and de- cided 1t was not possible to- fight in a national nominating conven- ton packed with office holders and controlled by the New Deal admin istration.
 Ely, having publicly promised to oppose MT. Roosevelt in the April Massachusetts presidential primary, gave up, explaining he could not successfully buck the New Deal in a primary contest.
 Brecklnridge Buried
 Colonel Henry Breckinridge, a po- litical unknown except for little cabinet" service in the Wilson ad- ministration, made the most vigor- ous pre-convention attack on MT. Roosevelt. Breckinridge entered himself in four preference primaries and in three was directly opposed by MT. Roosevelt.
 The president defeated Breckin- ridge approximately l5-to-1 in Ohio, l8-to-1 in Pennsylvania and 6-to-l in Maryland. In those three states and in New Jersey, where Mir. Roose- welt was not entered in the prefer ential primary, Breckinridge ac- cumulated approximately 10000 votes which were direct and em- phatic democratic protests against the Roosevelt administration. In Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania, MT. Roosevelt's aggregate was ap- proximately 100000.
 May Lose Some Votes
 Breckinridge demonstrated a de- lection of better than one voter of each ten among democrats who par ticipated in these primaries. If that ratio reflects feeling among democrats generally 1t might be enough to defeat the New Deal in November.
 MT. Roosevelt boiled almost 20,- 0,000 votes in 1882. If he lost one tenth of that strength in the next election and failed to attract other voters who were for Herbert o. Hoover or others in 1882, the Roose- welt aggregate next November would be some 100000 votes fewer than four years ago-approximately 18,- 500,000.
 Claims of Both Sides
 Statisticians have figured how the shift of fewer than 500,000 votes could swing the election to the re- publicans this year. The shifts would need to be in the right places in Ohio and New Jersey and such states where the 1892 New Deal lead

WOOL MARKET

Boston, May 23-(UP) - Prices users paid for wool in Boston or for woll that soon was to arrive have tended higher in the past week as dealers continued to accumulate wools in the country at rising es- timated clean costs, the U. g. Agri- culture department reported today.
 Topmakers raised their limits on raw wools as they booked orders for tops at advanced prices. The este mated secured basis prices of orig inal bulk fine territory wools of average to good French combing length ranged mostly S2-86 cents. graded Ohio fieeces of good corib- ing length were quoted higher on rising prices in the country with some sales in Boston at 34.36 cents in the grease for fine Delaine, at 36-36 cents for good combing 1-2 blood, and at 37-38 cents for comb ing 3-8 and IA blood.

operations turned up again. Elec- tricity production set Q new high since February 1 and was 15.4 per cent above Q year ago. Car load- ings rose to the best level since Oc- tober %, 1895. Wholesale trade was the heaviest since 1880 and retail trade was 8 to 10 per cent over g year ago.
 While domestic news was cheer ing, foreign problems prevailed. French difIiculties are considered highly important marketwise.

In addition, unconfirmed reports said the German mark was in Q precarious position.
 Utility stocks performed best of any group. Several companies re- ported favorable earnings and the outlook for the industry improved. Utilities showed net gains in con- trast with most other groups.
 Oil shares had a sinking spell when crude production set an ale time record high above 100000 barrels daily, but recovered part of the losses.
 Farm issues recovered all losses. Mail order stocks gained. Rails were slightly lower, as were silvers, coppers, steels, and aviation issues. Foods gained small amounts. Chem icals weakened,

GREAT CROWD AT
 BELMONT PARK

New York, May 23 - (UP) - A throng of nearly 4O,000--one of the largest crowds ever to see a horse race on 6 New York track-gathered at picturesque Belmont Park today to witness the 6lst running of the Withers Stakes, in which Brevity the horse everyone said should have won the Kentucky Derby, races against nine other thoroughbreds.
 The distance is a mile and the gross value of the race ie all 10 colts named overnight start will be $22, 400.
 Brevity, owned by Joseph E. Wid- ener, was a 6-5 favorite in the morning line. 0. V. (Sonny) Whit ney's Red Rain, making his second start as Q 3-year-old, ruled second choice at 3-1.
 Bold Venture, leading contender for the 3-year-title, was withheld from the Withers to rest up for the Belmont Stakes June 6.

EMPLOYESCA
 KEEP PLANT HOME

Syracuse, N. Y, May 23--(UP)- Continued full-time operation of the Syracuse plant of Remington Rand Corporation apparently de- pended today on the outcome of a poll of the plants 1,700 employees.
 James H. Rand, Jr., president of the company, gave the employees until Tuesday to decide whether or not much of the work will be shifted to 1lion, N. Y. Rand sent the employees ballots asking whether they are satisfied with present working conditions or want to strike; and whether they will re- turn to work if the plant is re- opened. If the vote is favorable, Rand said, the proposed shift will be abandoned.
 The ballots sent through the mails by Rand are similar to ones distributed in the plant Thursday, only 200 of which were returned when union leaders urged the work CTS not to vote.

BOMBS FALL OUT
 OF ARMY PLANE

Sacramento, Cal, May 9 - (UP) Army officials announced today that @ formal inquiry will be con- ducted into the slipping of two 1o0- pound bombs from 8 plane yesterday --an incident that might have caus- cd death and widespread damage had the missiles been fully loaded
 The bombs contained only min imum charge of black powder, how ever, and exploded without serious damage in the yards of two resi- dences at Carmichael, east of Sacra- mento.
 One of the missiles detonated in an empty pig pen on the property of Maynard Rowland. Guests at the Rowland home 100 feet away were jared but not was injured.
 Lieut.. N. F. Timper of the 3lst bombardment squadron of Hamilton field reported that defective bomb rack caused the projectiles to slip while he was 4,000 feet Up during practice maneuvers.
 The inquiry probably will be con- ducted by Major Harold D. Smith, commander of the squadron.

 Shorts covered in some issues re- gently depressed. U. s. Industrial Alcohol rose more than Q point. The market still benefited from fa- vorable business reports. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr, president of General Motors, said his company was ex- pected to duplicate the record April production figures in May.

was very narrow. Democrats will agree that Mir. Roosevelt has lost among conservative democrats but they claim they have gained more than the number of those defections from the 1882 republican and so- cialist polls. Recent inquiry in New Jersey indicates there is some sub- stance in that claim, at least with respect to the socialists.
 Hints of Trouble
 New York state may have some anti-R Roosevelt delegates at the dem- ocratic national convention. Smith has been elected delegate and others on the Tammany slate may be lukewarm. But there is no pros- pect of a floor fight against MT. Roosevelt or anything resembling one.
 There was a hint of trouble in Georgia where Gov. Eugene Tal- madge was threatening few months ago to lead southern re- bellion. Talmadge has subsided. He failed to enter the Georgia primary and with MT. Roosevelt the only candidate, the states delegation went to the president by default.
 Long Influence Gone
 Louisiana's national political prominence died with the late Huey P. Long. Rev. Gerald K. Smith, self-styled spiritual heir of the king fish said the other day that Louisi- ana's delegation would not cause any trouble at Philadelphia.
 The Rev. Smith like the former Gov. Smith of New York, Ely, Reed and others have postponed their war on the New Deal until after the nominating conventions. Their va- rious strategies will depend partly on the republican nominee and the nature of the republican platform. From the g.o.p. camp recently have come numerous invitations to demo- crats to join in removing Mir. Roose- welt from the White House.

 New York, May 23-(uP)-The feature of stock market this week was It's dullness. Prices sagged early and later recovered partially.
 Business news was distinctly fa- vorable, but 1t was felt the best course would be to await several de- velopKnents, namely, adjournment of congress, political conventions, installation of the new French gov- ernEnent, and the 66 per cent mar gins placed in operation May l by the federal reserve.
 Experts said the margins defi- nitely were reducing market opera tionS. They felt that a reduction immediately would bring more ac- tive markets.

 No Date With Lehman
 Marvin Mcintyre, White House secretary, said MT. Roosevelt had made no appointment with the New York governor, but 1t was assumed that the president would use the full force of his persuasive powers to send Lehman back into the polit- ical ring.
 The governors withdrawal. polit- cal observers believed, created dis tinct threat to democrat chances of snaring the states huge electoral vote in November.
 Lehman, 1t was pointed out, is a prize vote-getter whom MT. Roose- welt needs, and needs badly, in order to roll up the popular vote that democrats hope will place the Em- pire state in the bag next fall.
 Draft Lehman Movement
 With that in mind, 1t even was considered possible that the presi- dent might go so far as to support a draft Lehman" movement if the governor persisted in his refusal to run for reelection.
 The possibility of a visit from the New York governor offered the only break in a program of seclusion and quiet set out for MT. Roosevelt at the summer White House. The preS- ident cleared his desk of all pressing business before he left Washington last night.
 He will remain away from the capital until Tuesday morning. ac- cording to present schedule. Arriving at the little Hyde Park railroad sta- ton, he will motor directly to his house overlooking the Hudson. where his S2-year-old mother is suffering from injuries sustained m fall more than a week ago.

 Lucky Widow
 New York, May 23-(UP)-When Mrs. Bessie Sherman, widow of Brooklyn, was informed today that she had drawn an Irish sweep stakes ticket on "Earnhild," she exclaimed: Thank Godl No more home relief" Just to prove that something psychic was involved in her good fortune, Mrs. Sherman said that her son, Harry, had a dream two weeks ago that a dog named Blonde had entered the house dragging a bag of money.
 Elderly Edward Kopp of Brook lyn, was sweeping the sidewalk when reporters arrived to tell him that he had drawn Q horse named Mamaud but he didn't seem to know anything about 1t. He awakened his wife, Gisella, to ask her about 1t.
 Whoople Said Another

 "Momma." said Kopp, you didn't tell me you had a ticket"
 "Of course I didn't" replied Mrs. Kopp. "I've been buying them for ten years and not telling you, but now we can pay off the mortgage" !"
 Court Clerk Tn It
 Another ticket-holder on Mah- maud was James M. Brooks, city court clerk who lives at Woodside, Queens.
 "I've been working for the city 40 years, said Brooks. I'm eligible to retire and get a pension but I don't want to be one of those guys who sit on park benches and feed sparrows. I want to take the mort- gage of the house"
 Mrs. Cohen Lucky
 Another one who thought her good fortune had been augured by dreams was Mrs. Mildred Cohen of Brooklyn. who drew Earnhild.
 My little girl Ruth" she said, woke up one day this week and started crying. She said. 'Mommy, I just had a dream that l saw . horserace. heard a gun go oil and saw the horses start out. And our horse came running in first. Well, when heard that. I just fell on my knees and began to cry. I knew we were the winners"
