SAN LUIS OB1sPo, Calf, FEB. Is.
Doctors strove today to save the life
Of James Lawrence, son Of an English
nobleman and only survivor Of an air
plane crash on the William Randolph
Hearst ranch that killed Lord Terence
Conyngham Plunket, 80, of London,
his wife and their pilot
Mr.. Lawrence, his body covered with
burns and his ankle fractured, lay in
San Luis Obispo Sanitarium, where
he was removed late yesterday from
the accident scene, 40 miles north of
here. DR.. James Marshall said he ex-
pected Mr.. Lawrence to recover.
The bodies of Lord and Lady Plunket
and Pilot T. j. Phillips were brought
to a mortuary here pending an in
quest by Coroner C. w. Palmer.
Seeking to land his titled passengers
and their travelling companion on a
fog-shrouded airport at the ranch,
Phillips overshot the field. One wing
struck the ground and the plane
crashed in flames.
The group had left Los Angeles at 2
pm. for San Simeon. where the
Plunkets and Mr.. Lawrence were to
be guests of Mr.. Hearst. The plane
was owned by the publishers San
Francisco and Los Angeles newspapers.
Flames consumed the craft so quick

was thrown clear OF the plane, which
struck mile and half south of the
airport.
Lord and Lady Plunket arrived In
Hollywood two weeks ago. and leased
the mansion Of William Haines, for
mer screen comedian, planning to re-
main several weeks.
They had been guests several days
at the Santa Monica home of Doug
las Fairbanks, ST., and his wife. the
former Lady Ashley, and Wednesday
night dined with the Earl of Warwick
at Beverly Hills.

famous American actress, Fanny

day that Mr.. Lewis would not take the
rebuff Lying down" He may not
make any comment. however, until
after the State Committee acts this
afternoon.
Mr.. Margiotti said today a fight
would be made by some Of his friends
in the committee to prevent the in
dorsement of the slate. He did not,
however, expect the fight to be sue
cessful.
The conference at the Governor S
mansion here last night lasted until
am, with is Of the party leaders
taking part. 1t was announced that
William c. Bullitt. United States AM
bassador to France, had been select
ed as a compromise candidate. Mr.
Bullitt, Philadelphisn. was the
choice of Mr.. Stern, it was said. The
rumor included a report that the
President had suggested that Mr..
Bullitt be named for Governor. This
was emphatically denied. however, by
Gov. Earle. Mr.. Guffey and Mr.. Law
renee. who continued to insist that
the President had made no recon-
mendation Of candidates whatever.
"Open" Primary Possible.
So strong was the tip on Mr.. Bullitt
that another report spread that the
diplomat had been reached by tele-
phone and taken a boat back to this
country.
The nomination of Mr.. Bullitt on the
ticket with Gov. Earle would have put
two Philadelphians at its head and
might have had bad effect on Gov.
Earle's chances Of election to the Sen
ate.
Besides Mr. Jones and Gov. Earle,
the organization ticket includes DR..
Leo c. Mundy for Lieutenant Governor
and Thomas A. Logue for secretary of
internal affairs, an ONCE he now holds
There has been no opposition to their
selection.
Attending the conference at the
Governors mansion, in addition to
Gov. Earle, Senator Guf1ey and Mr..
Lawrence. were John B. Kelly and
Matthew H. McCloskey, leaders Of the
Philadelphia democracy; DR.. Mundy,
Mr.. Logue. Auditor General Warren
Roberts and State Treasurer Ross.
The State committee Is to meet at 2
pm. today. Its ll3 members may be
In for warm session. but the leaders
appear confident that their slate will
not be upset. An alternative would be
an open" primary, with no slate rec
commended. That, 1t Is said, would
please John L. Lewis and 1t. Gov.
Kennedy, not to mention Mr.. Stern.

SHER|DAN'S WIDOW
EXPIRES HERE At &
Dies Nearly so Years After
Death of Unions Great
Cavalry Leader.

Mrs. Philip H. Sheridan. 80, widow
Of the Union Armys Cavalry leader,
died yesterday afternoon at her home,
22l1 Massachusetts avenue NV, after
long illness. Death came nearly
half century after the death of her
famous husband.
Mrs. Sheridan, whb had been
noted beauty, was leader In social
circles here for many years. and was
known as devoted wife and charm.
ing hostess. Inactive in recent years.
Mrs. Sheridan had lived here so
quietly that many persons did not
know she resided in the Capital. Her
home was near Sheridan Circle, where
stands the equestrian statue Of Gen.
Sheridan, whose famous ride to VIM
chester was immortalized in verse.
Mrs. Sheridan is survived by three
daughters, the Misses Mary, Irene
and Louise Sheridan. who lived with
her here. and two grandchildren. Miss
Carlina Sheridan. who had spent the
last three winters here, and Philip
H. Sheridan, Sd, a student at Har-
ward. The grandchildren are the
children of Mrs Sheridan's son, the
late Maj. Philip H. Sheridan. jr, cav
airy officer, who died here in 1917,
shortly after the United States entered
the World War.
All her life. Mrs. Sheridan had lived
IN Army circles. She was the daugh-
ter of Gen. D. H. Rucker. who was
quartermaster general Of the Army.
Her grandfather and two brothers
were Army officers, as well as her
husband and son.
About "a years younger than Gen.
Sheridan, who was born in 1881, Mrs.
Sheridan spent most of her girlhood
in this city and at Army posts. She
was born at Fort Union, N. Mex,
where Gen. Rucker was stationed.
Like her husband, Mrs Sheridan was
. devout Catholic. She was educated
In schools here and in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Sheridan met Gen. Sheridan
In 1874 while bridesmaid at a we'd
ding in Chicago. and they were mar
ried the following year. 1t is recalled
how the pretty Miss Irene Rucker
and the Civil War hero used to ride
down Wabash avenue in Chicago
IN an open carriage during their
courtship days
Shortly after their marriage, Gen.
and Mrs. Sheridan moved here and
lived in a large house at Rhode Island
avenue and Seventeenth street NV.

The committee meets in open session
and there is a good deal of oratory in
prospect.
The party leaders have been in
formed, it is said, by number of labor
leaders they did not want Mr.. Kennedy
nominated for Governor-that they
did not believe he could be elected if
he were nominated. They have seen
William Green, president of the Amer
tcan Federation of Labor, ready to go
to the mat with Mr.. Lewis and Mr..
Kennedy and to split labor wide open
If Mr.. Kennedy became the nominee
for Governor.
Mr.. Kennedy really wanted the SEN
atorlal nomination. according to some
observers here. and Mr. Lewis would
have been willing to accept that nomi-
nation for his lieutenant. But Gov.
Earle. who under the law cannot run
for reelection as Governor, had his
eye on the Senate seat. He promptly
announced his candidacy for the NOM
ination when the blow-off came the
other day, and thus pre-empted the
place Tor himself.
Just where the developments of yes
terday leave Senator Guffey, who has
been rated the Democratic boss of the
State, is question. In some quarters
his removal as possible candidate
for Governor was interpreted as
blow to his prestige. Hereafter it was
said, Joe Guffey will play second fid-
die. On the other hand. it was sug-
gested that the plea OF the President
for the retention of Mr.. Guffey in
the Senate was a graceful way out of
= situation which had become un-
tenable.
Mr.. Owlett's statement announcing
his candidacy said he reached his
decision without consulting any one
outside of Pennsylvania. and only
after pledges Of support from practi-
cally every county of this State. I"
'Pennsylvania is entitled to be rep
resented in the United States Senate
by one who does not owe his nomina-
tion or election to any nonresident
Of the Commonwealth, no matter how
ambitious such nonresident may be-"
Mr.. Owlett said.

compromise candidate-and in
deed there was reason to believe that
Mr.. Guffey would have liked the
nomination for Governor.
Mr.. Guffey said:
Il will conform to the wishes of
the President, of course" And that
was that.
While Senator Guffey acquiesced in
the decision of the leaders to support
the slate headed by Mr.. Jones and
Gov. Earle, he did so with reserva-
tions." Furthermore, he will address
the State Committee and state his
position at this afternoons meeting.
Mr.. Guffey is none too pleased with
the selection Of Mr. Jones for Gov
ernor. 1t is expected that the Senator,
being good party man, will go along,
however.
Democrats today mininlized the sug-
eestion that the retention of Mr.. Jones
as mead of the ticket would mean a
serious loss of votes because of the
desire OF John i. Lewis to place 1t.
Gov. Kennedy on the ticket, either
for Governor or Senator. Labor, they
insisted, will stand by the Democratic
t1cket-Mr. Lewis or no Mr.. Lewis.

has to say.
