Lawrence was one day when he

added:
"I got scared and went to

to say nothing, until he talked to
her again. She continued:
"The next day he told me he

"T mentioned my deportation

She told Purvis that Dillinger

which has ingratiated him with the
coal miners.
Possibly offsetting this to some
extent Is the fact that Holt in the
Democratic primary opposed and de-
feated L. r. Via, who was running
for the nomination with strong labor
Endorsement. Since this setback, labor
has refused to indorse Holt, although
going on record as favoring the rest
of the Democratic ticket. Via, how
ever, has been campaigning for Holt,
and the signs point to his election.
More Democrats Registered.
In assaying the respective chances
of the Democrats and Republicans,
the registration figures for the State
primaries must be taken into con-
sideration. These figures show $751;
725 Democratic registrations. as
against 448,622 for the Republicans,
a margin Of more than los 900 voters
for the former.
The Republicans seek to discount
these figures with the assertion that
thousands Of w. P. A. workers were
forced to register Democratic to hold
their jobs, but that many Of them will
vote the Republican ticket in the
privacy of the ballot box. 1t is true
that SIPS, ,000, 900 has been spent for
relief here since 1888, and that the
w. P. A. has spent about $35 ,000,0 900
in the State in little more than a
year. The exact number of w. P. A.
employees is not available, but there
are about $4,000 persons on relief
too small a figure to explain away all
of the 10000 Democratic primary
majority.
Two other factors in the ma
tional and State race here are
the Jeffersonian Democrats and the
independent coalition of American
women, but they have no extensive
organizations and probably will not
play a decisive part in til, final out
come.
The active opposition that con-
fronted Herbert Hoover is no longer
present. Gov. Landon, free from this
handicap, starts from scratch. In his
talk here Thursday he may be able
to swing the tide in his favor, but
he will be confronted with what is
generally regarded as a Roosevelt era
of prosperity.
At this time, It appears that the
Democrats will lose two House seats,
but have a definite though not large
lead in the race for the national and
the balance of the State Offices.

TORONTO. July 15.-Like a

Hilda Graziano, 37.year-old Cana
dian mother who had seemed to
have only slight chances Of win
ming the Charles Vance Millar
stork derby, suddenly took a squirt
today ahead of the other contend

tabulation of her children failed
to record one they had intended
to name, Sammy, if a boy, still
born in 1882, and announced that
X-ray examination reveals that
twins will be born to her next
month. Mrs. Graziano said:
THAT will give me IL children
since Charles Vance MiIlar died
in October. 1926, and it will put
me in the lead for the $500, OOO."

said:

MAN ON PHONE
TRIED TO SELL
INFORMATION
Naval Attache Tells of
Contacts; New Spy
Arrests Expected
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
international News Service

Naval intelligence officials and
Justice Department Investigators
today probed deeper into the per-
sonal affairs of John s. Farms
worth, former Navy lieutenant
commander, to learn of possible
accompliceS in his alleged private
negotiations with agents Of the
japanese government.
Capt. Tamon Yamaguchi, naval
attache at the Japanese Embassy,
reported today a man giving the
name of Farnsworth telephoned
him twice at the embassy. He
said he was not there when the
first call was made last Saturday
and the man called again Mon
day.
Wanted to Sell Data
He said the caller told him he
had some information concern
ing that California case he would
turn over to the embassy for COM
pensation."
Captain Yamaguchi said:
"Of course, / resisted him and
told him we wanted nothing to
do with any such action"
He further said neither he nor
any member Of his office ever had
anything to do with Farnsworth.
By the California case" he un-
derstood the caller meant the con-
viction Of Harry T. Thompson, a
former United States Navy yeo-
man, sentenced in Los Angeles to
Is years Imprisonment for selling
secret navy information to the
Japanese.
Additional spy" arrests may
be made shortly.
Suspects Trailed
This was indicated by the con-
tinued assignment today Of the
Spy squad" of the Federal Blu
reau of Investigation. This squad
is known to be trailing several
men whose activities have caused
military officials to suspect they
might be selling secrets of this
Governments national defense to
some foreign power.
Farnsworth, who had brilliant
but erratic career up to the time
of his court-martial from the Navy
eight years ago, was in District OF
Columbia jail following his ar
raignment on espionage charges.
Unable to raise $4,000 bond set
by U. S. Commissioner Needham c.
Turnage, the prisoner is in Jail
undergoing medical treatment. His
request for transfer to hospital
was denied by police physicians,
who diagnosed his ailment as a
case of nerves"

Clubs Grow Fast
DR.. Townsend ,Ggreeting the con-
vention, said that between $500
and 5000 Townsend clubs are
represented" He indirectly as
sale dthe congressional investiga-
ton of the movement. He added:
"The increase in the fOrma.
ton of clubs since the adjourn
ment of Congress has been so
rapid that we are barely able
to keep track of them. We
ought to be grateful for the
tremendous service that they
have rendered"
In unison the stands in the con-
vention rose to repeat-most Of
the delegates from memory-the
Townsend pledge of fealty to the
cause.
The temporary chairman, Rep
resentative Smith, injected the
first political note into the con-
vention by attacking promotion Of
a third party. Smith, Demo
cratic congressional candidate for
reelection in Washington, had re-
fused to show his advance copy
Of his speech to the Townsend
leaders. He said:
THE Townsend plan is an
idea; it is an ideal; it is a
prophecy which will be fulfilled.
It's moral truth; it is ethical; it
Is religious; 1t is Christianity
applied to the economies and af-
fairs Of government.
"It is not party politics, as
that term is usually employed,
and every true friend should re-
siSt to the utmost any and
every effort, from whatsoever
source it may emanate, to CAPT.
talize the Townsend plan for
partisan party advantage, and
prostitute it to the political am.
billions Of any men or group Of
men or make it the inStrumen.
tally of any third party, Sec
Ond party or first party"
In this Smith took direct issue
with Townsend, who late yester-
day said the conversion of the
movement into a political party is
inevitable.
Smith Is Applauded
Smiths decalartion was roundly
applauded by the delegates. They
again cheered when he said the
Townsend plan reaches down
deeper and extends up higher,
than any or all political parties,
old or new in America"
Smith, a small man with a
powerful voice, turned and shook
hands with Townsend as he
shouted:
my friends, we are not 60
to lose with Lemke,' we are 60
ing to triumph with Towns
4end.'"
Smith himself called the dele
gates to their feet to applaud.
