Hollywood, July 21 = Howar,
Hughes, the multi-millionaire sports
man who has just established a rec
ord of days 10 hours and II minute
in his round-the- world flight, did
number of amazing things during hi
six years Of making pictures in Holly
wood.
And he said a number of amaziny
things.
None was more amazing, however
than his statement in 1884. that mar
riage is too costly.
Social Lion.
Hughes was a sucial lion during hi.
entire tenure from 1926 to 1882 as pre-
sident and owner of the Caddo com
pany. Limited, which made Hell:
Angels" and eight other successful
pictures, and elevated Jean Harlow

screen stardom.
The world was his oyster He had
an income OF 100000 a year from
his Texas oil field holdings. The, first
picture he produced made money, as
did all the others. Beautiful women
adored him. He was handsome, vivac-
ious, clever, quiet, thoughtful, and he
spent his money freely.
Hughes never was a spendthrift in
Hollywood. He knew that he could
make money in pictures. His conf
dence was inspired primarily by a sc
per cent profit on 'Everybody's Act
ing" his first picture, which he had
backed financially for Marshall
Neiian.
Large Tips.
Night club attendants liked to see
Hughes come through the front door
with beautiful woman. Each knew
he could count upon at least a Sc
tip. The night club owners like him
for himself, and for the size of the
parties at which he entertained the
royalty" of Hollywood.
Some of the nobility of Hollywood
plunged their financial knives deer
into the back of the handsome young
multi millionaire from the Texas oil
fields, but he marked it all off to ex-
perience and went on making pic
tures-and planning his world flight
Billie Dove was one of his great
romances. He starred her in two pic
lures. Eventually they lost interest in
one another. Hughes plunged deeper
into the intricacies of movie max
ing. Miss Dove married Robert Kenas-
ton after her divorce from Irwin Will
lat. .s5s
Hughes name was, linked with
those of Frances Drake, Marian
Marsh, Barbara Pepper and of other
Hollywood beauties, but he was shy
despite his confidence in himself as a
movie producer and aviator, and none
of the rOmances led to the marriage
altar.
Time Off to Visit.
During Hughes careful preliminary
preparations for his round-the-worlc
flight he took "time off, to fly to
Falm Springs, Cal, over the week
ends, to visit with 15-year-old Gloria
Baker, whose mother, Margaret Elmer
sen, once was married to the late Al
fred G. Vanderbilt.
Prior to the Palm Springs flights
eastern rumors linked Hughes name
with that of Ruth Moffett, 16, daugh-
ter of the wealthy James A. Moffett
Hughes is just a young man him
self. Actually, he is 35, cut in Holly
wood he always had represented him
self as older, even causing his birth

OHIO HEARING DELAYED

Old Age Pension Inquiry Now

Hearing on charges of maladminis-

in Ohio was postponed yesterday by
the Social Security Board until Sep

have begun Monday.

erties and apportioning the money
among the hundreds Of claimants may
take years. In the meantime it is
desired that Mexico begin to build up
= fund in this country toward their
liquidation.
Failing this solution, the United
States would be obliged to insist on
inter American arbitration, rs pro-
posed in the American note Of July
IL and rejected by the Mexican note
Of August 3.
The compromise proposal would be
somewhat similar to the mechs rlism
used for the settlement OF land claims
arising prior to 1920.
Mexico and the United States ap-
pointed Representatives to determine
the value Of the properties seized, de-
stroyed or damaged by various revolu-
tions. They agreed upon a sum some
what in excess Of $5,0OO,0O0.
In 1884 President Roosevelt ap-
pointed 4 Special Claims Commission
to determine how the money should be
allocated among the claimants-when
it was paid. Almost simultaneously
Mexico began to pay into the United
States Treasury 3500,000 a year. She
has made thus far four payments,
totaling 81, ,000, 900.

K. of L. Speedboys
 Meet Underwoods On Local Court

Hartford's Underwoods will tan- gle with the Knights of Lithuania at g o'clock tonight in the feature battle of basketball double head CT at St. Joseph's hall. St. Joseph's Holy Name, Naugatuck Valley Am ateur tournament champions, will meet Tony Bergin's rangy Litchfield Cowboys in the opening tilt, booked for 7:30.
 The Knights want this game more than any they have yet played this season. It seems they went up to Hartford two weeks ago and were handed 39-30 pasting by the Underwoods. The defeat is the lone blemish on the slate of the Liths for the last eight games and the 30 points represent new single game low for them.
 In addition, the Knights need tonight's game to make it seven straight on the home court and they will be out for revenge and then some.
 The Underwoods, second in Hartford's Dusty legaue, with 10 victories in Il starts, have 8 strong club, as they demonstrated by pressing Meriden's Endees into overtime before lowing by a point the week before they met the K. of l.,
