NEW ENTRY ASKED
TO END VOTE ROW
North Carolina Democrats
Fear 6. o. P. Victory
by Default.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 21.-The
Democrats are trying to get candidate
for the 9th North Carolina congress
sional district to keep the seat from
going to a Republican by default in
the November election.
The situation, unprecedented in
North Carolina, results from contro-
versy between c. B. Deane of Rocking
ham and w. o. Burgin of Lexington,
each Of whom claims he was nomi-
mated IN the second Democratic pri-
mary on July 2.
The contest has been waged before
County and State Election Boards and
in the Superior and Supreme Courts
since July. Gov. Clyde Hoey, State
head Of the party, says it now appears
unlikely the contest can be decided
in the courts before November 8.
Governor Seeks Compromise.
The Governor revealed he was work
ing actively to bring about compro-
mise. Political leaders said it was
probable third man would be chosen
as the Democratic nominee should Mr.
Deane and Mr.. Burgin voluntarily
withdraw.
Choosing nominee, in this event,
would be up to the 9th district Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. The in
cumbent, Representative w. A. Lam
beth, would be willing to accept the
nomination if Mr.. Deans and Mr.
Burgin both step down. He did not run
in the primaries.
The Republican candidate in the
nominally Democratic district is John
r. Jones, former solicitor, who was
regarded as a strong minority candi-
date even before the Democratic dis
pute.
The first returns from the county
boards gave Mr.. Burgin majority of
about 100 votes. Mr.. Deane demanded
a recount in Mr. Burgin's county, and
Mr. Burgin did the same in Mr..
Deane's. Then protests were enlarged
to cover some of the rest of the dis
trict also.
Results Are Changed.
The State Elections Board investi-
gated, and in the amended" re-
turns announced Mr.. Deane had been
nominated by % votes Mr.. Burgin
took the question of whether the State
board could order the county boards
to change the returns, and since then
the case was shifted back and forth
from one court to another
A second issue arose over whether
the State board was right in ousting
Democratic members of the board in
Davidson (Burgin's) County and Or
dering a new board to make returns,
which gave Mr.. Deane a majority
after more questioned absentee ballots
were voided.

EDITOR RETURNS
MONEY TO SMITH
Acts After Representative
Sends Letter Asking
Loan Be Paid.

Richard McAllister Smith, editor of
the Arlington Courier, weekly news
paper published at Arlington, Va, an
nounced in his newspaper today that
he had repaid loan of $500 to Rep
resentative Howard w. Smith as q
result Of communication from Rep
resentative Smith which. referred to
the "unfriendly attitude" of the
Courier In connection with Repre-
sentative Smiths eighth district pri-
mary campaign against William E.
Dodd, jr.
In q front-page editorial, Editor
Smith said Representative Smith is q
relative who made a personal loan
of $500, Of which neither Mr.. Smith
nor the Courier need be ashamed"
The editorial added that "the Con-
gresham has never attempted to die
tate the policy of this paper ="
1t then stated the papers belief in
"the liberal policies of President
Roosevelt" and added, I'VE believe,
furthermore, in the freedom of the
American press, and conceive our duty
to be the publication of the news of
the day without fear or favor"
Fac-Simile Of Check.
Editor Smith also published on the
front page facsimilies of a check for
$500 payable to Representative Smith,
and of letter on the stationery of
the House Of Representatives, signed
by Representative Smith, under date
of July 9, 1898, which said:
Dear Dick:
AS have opposition in the Demo-
cratic primary, owing. believe, largely
to the unfriendly attitude OF your
newspaper, 1 will be glad if you will
return to me the $500 which I loaned
you to keep it afloat, as I can use it
very we'll in my campaign"
Smith Declines Debate.
Representative Smith, meanwhile,
declined to enter into joint debate
with Mr.. Dodd, who is campaigning
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress from the eighth district as
New Dealer.
In an open letter Mr. Dodd had
challenged Mr.. Smith to a debate at
Alexandria next Friday or at any
other date agreeable to Mr.. Smith.
Frankly Mr.. Smith wrote to Mr..
Dodd, your public utterances relative
to your conception of government are
so divergent from our American con-
stitutional form that l would offend
the intelligence of a Virginia audi
ence by debating them with you. I am
satisfied. from my long association
with the people OF Virginia, that they
are quite content with the American
system of government under which We
live"
Mr.. Smith also emphatically denied
a statement he laid to Mr.. Dodd that
he had said in asspeech Il would be
proud to be rubber stamp of Presi-
dent Roosevelt"

He learned later that the only appli-

one for 100000 to build a single
branch library. He pointed out, how

$50 900 to make plans for a new library

Mayor continued, "can describe my

such flight as yours must bring the
people Of the world closer together in
bond Of amity. And nothing that
one man or one group Of men can do
by force would mar that bond"
Hughes Profoundly Moved.
Then he referred to past world
flights and old records, remarking
that he knew the men would not
want to detract from any previous
achievements of world flyers"
Then he introduced Jesse r. Jones,
Texas banker and chairman of the

Mr.. Hughes, an orphan, drew .

and touched his eyes. profoundly

his parents.
From the city hall the flyers, still
escorted by Grover A. Whalen, head

the flight was made partly As good

Hughes Slept IA Hours.
Mr. Hughes slept IA hours last night.
He retired to his room in the Hotel
Drake at tbs pm. and kept to his
bed until after 9 am. today.
Before he breakfasted Mr.. Hughes
ordered all the available newspa pers
and informed the hotel management
he would accept telephone calls after
II Am.
The management disclosed that MI.
Hughes came here two months ago in
preparation for the flight and spent
most Of his time making telephone
calls to various parts Of the world
and writing letters.
He spends hours reading aviation
magazines.
Albert I. Lodwick, flight manager
for Mr.. Hughes, said today he had
been authorized to say for the flyer
that he has not seen Katharine Hep
burn, the actress, since he returned to
New York.
The name Of Mr.. Hughes, regarded
as one of Americas most eligible BACH
elors, has been mentioned romantically
with Miss Hepburn's.
When Mr.. Hughes came down to the
lobby of the hotel he said he felt fine
and he appeared rested.
Some one asked him II he was going
to Houston, Tex, and he said No."
that his plans at the moment were
indefinite.
Shy ~ ever, he jumped nervously
several times when photographers set

Hughes said he does not expect to try

Then, apparently overcome by shy

to don the clean shirts their wives

The wives of the flyers nearly got
