Negotiation
To Continue
With Hitler
Chamberlain S en- d 5
Suggestion w o r l, d
Should Not Be Plung-
ed Into War After SUI
deten Agreement Is
Reached in Principle;
Some See Way Out

Berlin, Sept. 27.-(AP)-Another
visit by Sir Horace Wilson to Adolf
Hitler today raised new hope of a
warless solution of Germany's de-
mands on Czechoslovakia. The meet
ing, the second between Hitler and
British Prime Minister Chamberlains
emissary in two days, fulfilled the
hope expressed by President Roose-
welt that negotiations not be broken
off.
It was believed Sir Horace had some
thing concrete and constructive to
talk about in the half hour he spent
with Hitler. That was Chamber
lains conciliatory statement on Fit
ler's speech of yesterday and parti-
cularly his offer that Britain would
guarantee that CzechoslOvakia carry
out her part of the Sudetenland agree
ment, provided Germany RETAINED
from force.
Sir Horace took off py airplane for
London from the airdrome at 1;45 p.
n. (7:45 a. m. eastern standard timel
after seeing Hitler. He was expected
to arrive at Heston airdrone about
Sis p. m.
The British emissary was accom-
panied to the chancellofy by Sir
Neville Henderson, British ambassa-
dor to Germany and an embassy sec
Rotary. He was reported to have
pleaded eloquently that where such a
far-reaching agreement in principle
has already been reached over the
Sudeten1and, the world should not be
plunged into war merely because of
differences over putting it into eff
feet.
Emphasizing that they could not
speak for Hitler, some commentators
intimated that they thought Chamber
lain's offer pointed way out of the
impasse. They felt, if both Hitler and
President Benes of. Czechoslovakia acc
cepted this British guarantee there,
would be no necessity for Germanyto
seize the Sudetenland next Saturday
by force of arms.
Responsible German sources, how
ever, made no secret of their displeas-l
ure at the British, French, Russian
stand supporting .Czechoslovakia.

Attitude OF
Hitler Not
Reasonable
Still Hopes for Peace
full Solution; Can't In
volve Whole Empire
for Small State, Pre-
mier Tells British Ma
ton In Radio Broad
cast

London, Sept. 27.-(AP)-Prime
Minister Chamberlain declared to-
night that 1--WE cannot undertake to
involve the whole British Empire in
war, however much we may sympa-
thize with a small nation"
The prime minister had declared
he would not hesitate to take a third
trip to Germany if he though tit
would do any good, but at the mo-
ment 81 can see nothing further that
1 can usefully do in the way of medi-
ation."
IF 1 were convinced that any ma
ton had made up its mind to domi-
nate the world by force, should not
hesitate to resist it," the prime min
lister said IN broadcast from No. 10
Downing street.
II find Herr Hitler's attitude un-
reasonable in his final demands" he
continued. ssBut I shall not give up
my hope for a peaceful solution"
At the beginning of his speech, he
told the world:
Tomorrow Parliament is going to
meet, and 1 shall be making a first
statement on the events which have
led up to the present critical situa-
ton. An earlier statement would
have been impossible while was fly
ing backwards and forwards across
Europe, and the position was chang
ing from hour to hour.
But today, there is a lull for
brief time and I want to say few
words to you men and women of Bril-
tain and perhaps to others as well.
I have done all that one man can
do to halt this war. Tomorrow I
shall be making a full statement of
events which led up to the present
anxious situation"

Government Bro a d.
cast Says Hitler De-
sires Brutality to Crush
the Republic

Prague, Czechoslovakia, Sept. 81
(AP)-The Czechoslovakian radio
broadcast indignantly today that
Adolf Hitler's demands showed a
brutal desire to crush Czechoslovakia
as a free state"
(The broadcast was made at about
the same time as the Czech legation
in London disclosed officially that
Prague refused to submit to Ger
many's demand for cession of Sudeten
land as stated in FIitler's memoran-
DUN of September 23.)
"The form given by Hitler to his
memorandum" the government sta
ton announced, ''is sufficient to show
that it is not enough to make an
agreement and maintain peace One
feels in Hitler's memorandum brutal
desire to crush Czechoslovakia as a
free state.
"The memorandum demands an
nexation to Germany of territory
counting S,736,OOO inhabitants, OF
whom 2,823,OO0 speak German and
$4,000 Czech. On the sother hand, in
the territory where Hitler demands a
plebiscite, there are 1,116,<--r Czechs
and only $4,000 inhabitants who
speak the German language.
1T results from this that Germany
would incorporate $4,000 Czechs into
Germany, and there would remain on
lv 100000 Germans in CzechOslOvakia
s'The Hitler memorandum is direct
ed against the economic existence OF
Czechoslovakia. AS a result, Czecho-
slovakia would be deprieved of great
part of her forests, highways and rail
ways broke in two.
ION the other hand, Czechoslovakis
would lose depots on the Elbe river
and water highways to Bratislavs
(border town at the junction of the
German-Hungarian Czech frontiers OF
the Danube.)
"Czechoslovakia would be so weak
ened in a military way that the great
est part of her territory, notably Bo
hemia and Moravia, would be at thu
mercy of Germany
Popular resentment to Hitler
threat to act by next Saturday unles:
he received the Sudetenland mounted
while Czechoslovakia marked tim
waiting the outcome of renewed Bri
tish-French efforts to solve the dis
pute peacefully.

Vote Battle
On Congress
Rises Again
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Sept 27.-Chairman w. A.
Lucas, of the State Board of Elec-
tons, is just as communicative about
plans for Wednesdays gathering OF
his group as is clam on the subject
of clam chowder, but all indications
are that the State Board will dump
into the lap of the Davidson and
Richmond county units the job of re-
viewing some of the affidavits and
counter-affidavits of the Deane-Bur-
gin eighth district congressional cleo
ton row.
Not that the State board has the
slightest intention of Indicating the
supervisory and compelling power the
Supreme Court says it las, but that
Mr.. Lucas and his associates are go
ing to allow the lower boards the OPP
portunity, at least, too look over the
cases studied by the State board.
In the long run, however, it's bet
ter than dollars to doughEuts that
the State board is going to stand Dy
it's guns and see that the returns as
finally certified to it by the county
boards meet with it's approval. In Oth-
er words, Davidson and Richmond
boards will be given an opportunity
to review the returns and certify
them-if their certificatiOn agrees
with the State boards ideas.
There has been some talk about the
case still being every much in the
courts, with Burgin having some
chance to win an eventual decision,
but competent legal observers declare
that the Davidson mans one and on
ly chance is for the State board to
become convicted that it's previously
reached conclusion was erroneous
and that chance, FROM practical
standpoint, seems abo;; che in mil
lion.
None of them is saying 50, put 1T is
undoubtedly true that every member
of the State board feels that It has
dealt not only justly, but mercifully
with Davidson county. Many inform
ed sources assert that but for Chair
man Lucas personal efforts the lid
would have been "blown off" In
Davidson weeks ago, and several hun
dred more Brrgin votes tossed out as
fraudulent.

Seeks To Show How

Mistreated in Versail-

World War; Appeals
to Presidents Under

Berlin, Sept. 27.-(AP)-Reichfueh-
rer Adolf Hitler carefully marshaled
Germanys whole case today in an
unusually long communication reply
ing to President Roosevelt's appeal
for peace. He ended with these
words:
'.It is now solely in the hands of the
Czechoslovak government, and not in
the hands Of the German government,

II have the conviction" he wrote,
'sthat if you visualize the entire deve-
lopment of the Sudeten German prob
lem from it's beginnings until the
present day, you will realize that the

wanting in patience or sincere will
to peaceful understanding"
