Total contributions to the Ohio and
Mississippi valley flood sufferers as
raised here by the local chapter of

allotted to Henderson.
Mrs. Henry T. Morris, chairman of
the local chapter 1of the Red Cross,
urged every one to be as generous as
possible, however, in view of the

Mississippi river basin downstream.

TAMMANY HIT.
BY new DEAL
IN PRIMARIES.
LaGuardia Wins FL
With MahOney
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Sept. II Q.N.S).
Tammany leadership took a Sc
we're beating in New York city's
primary election.
Returns today showed Mayor
F. H. LaGuardia and Judge Jere-
miah T. Mahoney are the peoples
choice to battle it out for the
mayoralty in the general election
in November. The entry Of Tam
many's anti-New Deal element,
Senator Royal S. Copeland, Sus-
tanned a crushing double defeat.
Copeland lost by a ratio of al
most 2 to / to LaGuardia on the
Republican ticket and was beaten
just about as badly by Mahoney,
a Tammany New Dealer, on the
Democratic ticket.
113 PRECINCTS MISSING
With only 113 precincts missing
out Of 3,797, the vote was:
Republican: La Guardia, 1904;
Copeland, 1882. Democratic:
Mahoney, 399.914; Copeland, 1885,
94s: La Guardia written in),
53,4l0.
Copeland's defeat on both
tickets undoubtedly means a two
man contest between La Guardia
and Mahoney for the tlaycralty
at the general election in Novem-
Der, as the Senator recently in
dictated If he was unsuccessful in
the primary race he would not run
Independently.
It was a smashing blow to for
mer Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who
sponsored Copeland and took the
stump for him. It caused talk
that Christopher D. Sullivan,
leader of Tammany, may be forced
to resign. Sullivan became head
of the wigwam only recently fol-
lowing the death Of James Doc
ling.
NEW DEAL SEEN OUT
It also means the removal OF
the New Deal as an issue during
the rest of the campaign. Ma
honey is an avowed New Dealer
and a close friend of James A.
Farley, Democratic national chair
man, while LaGuardia has mani
tested sympathy toward the poll
cies of the Roosevelt administra-
ton during his term as mayor.
Farley is reported to be ambi-
tious to run for governor Of New
York, and it would be distinctly
to his advantage to have control
of Tammany.
Silence greeted reporters at
Tammany Hall today when they
sought to learn what its next
move will be.
II there develops any reality Of
a third party Tammany candi-
date, Farley will be forced to act
to put his own man on the Tam
many throne. His No. l candi-
date would be James j. Hines,
the ex-blacksmith leader of the
Eleventh assembly district, and a
favorite of President Roosevelt.
It even might be that powerful
pressure would be brought upon
Edward J. Flynn, Democratic boss
Of the Bronx and close friend of
Farley, to take the Tammany
leadership.
The balloting was heavy and it
appeared the vote in both pri-

HOUSE INQUIRY
INTO XII kLUX
CHARGE LOOMS
King, Glass Assail
Appointment

G.N.S) A new challenge to
the legality of the appointment Of
Justice Hugo L. Black to the
Supreme Court was lodged with
the Supreme Court today by
Patrick Kelly, Boston lawyer.
In a letter to each Of the jus.
tees, he asked the court to ap-
point a committee Of lawyers to
make a report about Blacks
qualifications.
This developed simultaneously
with the warning of Representa-
tive Merritt, Democratic Congress
man-at.Large from New York, that
if Black fails successfully to re-
flute charges regarding his reputed
membership in the Ku Klux Khan,
or to resign, he will introduce Q
resolution in the House in January
for q full investigation of the
matter.
PETITION ON FILE
The Supreme Court already has
q petition pending before it at
lacking the legality Of Blacks APP
pointment. 1t was filed by Albert
Levitt, q former assistant o. s.
Attorney General and one-time
Judge in the Virgin Islands.
Levitt maintained the appoint
ment was illegal because Of q
statute which makes a member Of
Congress ineligible to fill an office
if he is a member of the Congress
that increased emoluments of the
office.
Kelly called the courts atten-
ton to the petition previously
filed by Levitt, asserting Black
could not be legally named justice
because he helped increase the
emoluments of the office in voting
for the Summers retirement act.
Kelly further asserted that the
law under which Justice Van De.
vanter retired is unconstitutional,
because Congress has no power
to release an officer whose duties
are fixed by the Constitution.
ASKS COURT TO ACT
Notwithstanding the PreSi.
dents commission is now in pos
session of ex-senator Black, he
is not yet a defacto justice Of
the Supreme Court, as he has
not been indicted into office,
and the assent Of your tribunal
is necessary before his title do
jure can be performed" said
Kelly in his letter.
Pointing out that Blacks right
to take the office was challenged
in the Senate, Kelly added:
1T would seem to be the in
exorable duty of the court in
such case to investigate and de.
termine his claim of title before
he is permitted to sit as a mem.
Der of the court in the October
session; and in such case he
should be notified beforehand by
your tribunal to defer any at
tempt to be indicted into office
until further action by the court
in said matter"
