CLAIMS THAT, LEWIS

Mine Head and IL Associ-

"Trial" Proceeds

Washington, Aug. 4.-(AP)-An as
of the United Mine Workers, defied
the American Federation of Labors
executive council in organization in
the radio industry was made before
the council today by E. d. Bieritz, as
sistant president of the electrical
workers.
Bieritz was the first witness called
against Lewis and eleven associates
in the committee for industrial or
ganization at their trial before the
council on charges of "insurrection"
against the American Federation of
Labor.
Lewis and the other defendants
were absent contending that the
council had no authority to try or
suspend them. Suspension was regard
ed in labor circles as the most like
ly outcome of the sessions.
AS the trial progressed, efforts to
avert the threatened split in the fed
Grafton were at a standstill.
Edward F. McGrady, assistant sec
rotary of labor, talked with several
council members. He insisted he had
submitted no peace proposal and that
the administration was keeping hands
off.
Still trying to make peace, Henry
Oil, president of the Wisconsin Fed
Grafton of Labor, expressed hope that
the rank and file of the labor move
ment would exert sufficient influence
on union presidents to postpone final
decisions, at least until the annual
convention in Tampa in November.

A crisis in the Spanish insur-

preaching today as at least two
European capitals experience

London and Paris looked anxiously
toward the cauldron of unrest in

general European hands-off agree

From Tangier, north African inter

chored off Ceuta, Spanish Morocco,
had been received by General Fran

Fears in some French quarters OF
another European war growing out
of the Spanish situation were quick

German warships.

Raleigh, Aug. A. Reports that
Clyde r. Hoey may ask the State De-
partment Executive Committee to re-
elect j. Wallace Winborne, of Marion,
as chairman for another four years,
are causing some uneasiness among
many of Mr.. Hoey's supporters in the
east For while they all agree that Mr..
Winborne has made an excellent chair
man for the past four years and that
he was unusually successful in man
aging the last two campaigns, they
feel it would be a mistake for Mr.
Hoey to disregard the precedent I'M
der which the craftsmanship of the
committee has alternated between the
east and the west and under which a
different chairman has always been
selected by each incoming governor.
A good many observers here feel
that if Mr.. Hoey should re-appoint
Chairman Winborne or select another
western man as chairman, such &C
ton would greatly complicate the
present situation in the eastern part
of the State, where there is already
very strong opposition to Mr.. Hoey
and where DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald
got most of the $4,000 votes he re-
ceived in the first primary. To fail to
name an eastern Democrat as chair
man of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee this time would not
only further irritate those Democrats
who are not friendly to Mr.. Hoey now,
but might serve to greatly offend the
minority of eastern Democrats who

Roosevelt's Trip

President Roosevelt said today
his forthcoming inspection trip
through some of the drought
stricken states would not be poll
ticaI.
He made this statement in an
swer to a question, and then fol-
lowed the usual procedure of let
ting newsmen quote him thus:

MARY ASTOR CLAIMS
HUSBAND KNEW ACTS

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 4.-(AP)-
A fragment of testimony by Mary
Astor that her ex-husband knew of
her relationship with George S. Kauf-
man. and condoned it, was a cryptic
passage today in superior court re-
cords.
Cross-examined by Joseph Ander-
son, counsel for DR.. FRANKLIN Thorpe,
the film actress testified that she and
the Hollywood physician discussed his
contemplated divorce.
You know Kaufman has nothing to
do with this divorce" she said she
told her husband. you've known
about George Kaufman since last fall.
You've condoned it."

Gil gathered in a stuffy Washington
office for the second day of the trial"
added new bitterness to the internal
quarrel in the American Federation of
Labor.
William Green, federation president
and leader of the opposition to Lewis,
estimated the prosecution would con-
tinue, probably through tomorrow.
Inasmuch as the "rebels" have re-
fused to appear, Green said that after
the presentation of the prosecutions
evidence the ''trial' court will proceed
as a court to analyze the evidence.
The various groups, including
friendly clergy who have urged the
factions to compromise their differ
ences, became gloomy as peace nego-
tiations appeared to be making no
progress.

and for those choices OF eccentric
voters who are grouped as Others"
The tabulation shows. in most cases,
how the voter voted in 1892. From
the figures on this last point calcula-
tions can be made showing the
switches" which are taking place, the
trends, from Democrat in 1882 to Re-
publican in 1896, and vice versa. Fur
ther calculations bear on the impor-
tant point OF how many Of Lemke's
third party votes are coming from for
mer supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
how many from the Republicans.
All this constitutes q mine OF data
tempting to persons adept in working
out intricate percentages, and making
deductions therefrom. To the Di-
eest's current tabulation, add the
World Almanac or any other book
showing actual election results in 1892
and other previous years. With these
sources on his desk. any ffgurer can
enjoy a statistician's holiday-and ap-
parently most Of them zestfully take
the opportunity.
Most Figurers Agree.
OF the graphs, charts and computa-
tions that have come before my eyes,
almost none arrive at any result seri-
ously contrary to the simple result on
the surface of the Digest poll. which Is
that Landon Is rather strongly in the
lead. In any situation where so much
data is present, it is possible to start
with one kind of premise or another,
and thereby arrive at . result In ac-
cord with the premise. So far as
have noticed. the only important COM
putation arriving at . conclusion con-
trary to the Digest's was one made by
q well-known New Deal syndicate
writer, Jay Franklin. As against this,
many of the analyses made by profess
sional statisticians arrive at conclu-
sions to the effect that LAndon Is even
stronger than the surface Of the Digest
poll shows.
Apparently the only way to indict
the Digest poll is by an assumption
by assuming that for some reason the
o,0o0, 900 straw ballots sent out by
the Digest happened to reach an ex-
cessive proportion Of Republicans.
Or else, that Of the 2,225,00 voters
who replied to the Digest. an excessive
proportion were Republicans.
Assumed by New Dealers.
This in fact is the principal argu-
ment made by New Dealers. They
say that this years situation differs
from any past one; that this year
more than any before the electorate
Is divided horizontally: that the upper
economic level contains . larger pro-
portion Of Republicans. while the
lower level contains the persons on
relief who, 1t Is claimed, will prevail
ingly vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. To the
same effect it Is argued that persons
in the upper level are more apt to
take the trouble to reply to the Digest's
inquiry than persons of the type who

inently into the vocabulary OF Amer
lean politics after next election than
heretofore. Even If the New Deal Is
continued in power, the attack on its
policies from the traditional South

years unfold the sharp schism between

tional States rights.
Interview Recalled.
Glass has been importuned by Mr..
Roosevelt to make some campaign
speeches for him. The story Of that
famous interview Of few weeks ago
in which the President hatly asked the
Senator to speak in his behalf was
not told accurately in the press at the
time. Emphasis was placed only on
the fact that Glass said he would
vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. Nothing was
published of what actually took place
in the conference itself. The reports
hereabouts are that the courageous
Senator, with a good-natured twinkle
in his eye, answered Mr.. Roosevelt's
request by pointing out that in the
campaign Of 1882 he Senator Glass;
had made some speeches on the gold
question only to have them repudiated
by Mr.. Roosevelt when the campaign
was over. The President Is UNDER
stood to have remarked that condi-
tions had changed, whereupon 1t Is
not disclosed what Glass said in
reply, but If he had good memory
for quotations he might have count
cred with quotation from one OF Mr..
Roosevelt's own speeches in Fremont,
Nebr., on September 20, 1885, when
he said:
Methods and machinery change,
but principles 60 on"
If Senator Glass ever did make any
speeches in this campaign, what
could be say? The Virginia Senator
did express himself q few weeks ago
in q Newspaper interview which he
has never denied. He said:
