-Four Ships Abandon
Hunt for De Larrinaqa
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Four rescue
ships turned back to their courses
today. and the story of the British
freighter Maria de Larrinaga was
ended with three simple words:
Lost at sea-
Certain she foundered." said a
terse message from the American
Scantic liner Scanmail as the search
was abandoned last night
Equally crisp words-"poor visi-
bility, mountainous seas and high
northwest gale" s"-described the diff
ficulties of the hunt for the freight
er, which had sent out distress sig
nails Wednesday from point 1900
miles east of New York
There remained thin chance
that some of the 81 men aboard
still were af1oat in lifeboats or
clinging to wreckage.
One brief flash of hope was raised
by a message to the Holland Amer
lean Line that said the S. S. Veen-
dam was making rescue but this
later was shown to be a misinter-
probation of a message from a
sister ship.

10.-A Federal Court jury today ac-
quilted Ia of 25 persons charged
with political manipulations of the
New Mexico w. P. A and reported
itself hopelessly deadlocked on the

their contention that the trial had
its inception in political enmity be-

control of the State Democratic
party.
The prosecution built its case on
testimony given by 81 witnesses, most
of them S48-a-month w. P. A.

month contributions to the Chavez
faction. compulsory purchases of
dance tickets" and repeated threats
from several of the defendants to

emily today as the investigation
continued.
United States Attorney David A.
Pine, directing the wide inquiry,
would not comment on the reports,
except to point out that he had
issued informations against only
two persons to date. 1t was con-
sidered significant, however, that
the informations which he filed
left the way open to charge others
should the investigation disclose suf-
ficient evidence
Emmitt Warning remained with
out an attorney of record in the
contempt proceedings nearly "a
hours after the lawyers who had
represented him for nearly 10 years
withdrew from the case.
The lawyers. Harry T. Whelan and
William B. O'Connell, announced
late yesterday that they would not

case in which he has been cited for
alleged contempt of court. Warning

explained in brief statement that
they did not feel they could repre-

since the alleged acts had been COM

New Pope S Election
Affected by World
Political Factors
Attitude Toward Fuscists
Will Have q Dominant
Influence on Vote
BY RICHARD MOWRER,

Chicago Daily News Foreign correspondent.
ROME, Feb 10 (By Radio The
death of Plus XII has automatically
brought about sort of political
crisis in anticipation of the elec-
ton of a new Pope. Later this
month 62 cardinals, q of them from
foreign lands, will meet in conclave
to elect one of their number to Sue
ceed Pope Plus Already forecasts
and prognostics are circulating as to
who will become the new Pope In
fact, discreet political campaign in
favor of various cardinals has been
under way for several days.
OF the 81 cardinals who will meet
in secret conclave, IS are Italians.
Of the q foreign cardinals three are
Americans: George Cardinal Mum
delein, Archbishop of Chicago; Denis
Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop of
Philadelphia, and William Cardinal
O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston.
1t is considered practically certain
in Rome that the next Pope will be
an Italian. But it is also recalled
that conclave often gives surpris-
ing results and it sometimes turns
out that the favorite is not elected.
In any case, opinion is unanimous
at this time that political reasons
may determine ethe election of the
future Pope.
Plus Considered Anti Bolshevik.
These political reasons arise pri-
marily from the persecution by. the
totalitarian states of race and re-
ligion. Pope Plus was considered as
being above all an anti -Bolshevik
1t is possible that the ruthlessness
of the authoritarian states in their
anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic policies
may have reached the point, some
believe, where the church itself may
be forced to take an anti-Fascist
position. Many cardinals apparently
favor an energetic Pope. one who
will deal firmly with the totalitarian
states and their infringements upon
church rights and religion.
The persecution of Catholics, not
to mention Jews, in Germany and
particularly in Austria and the
tendency in that direction in Italy
have seriously alarmed them. They
want to fight the growing spread of
intolerance under the guidance of a
strong, experienced, and even au-
thoritative leader.
Prominent in this group of fig
ures is the. name of Eugenio Car
dinal Pacelli, secretary of state un-
der Plus 1t is known that the de-
ceased Pope held him in especial
esteem Cardinal Mundelein of
Chicago, and the quiet studious
Archbishop of Florence, Ella Car
dinal Della Costa, may also be in
cluded in this group, as well as
Ildefonse Cardinal Schuster, Arch
bishop of Milan, who recently We
hemently attacked the German
anti-racial policy.
Moderate Policy Favored.
Another group favors a moderate,
passive policy toward the totalitarian
states. Fears are that too strong
an opposition toward Fascism may
have incalculable consequences for
the church.
A third group favors good rela-
tions with the Italian regime at all
costs.
Although the election of foreign
cardinal is held unlikely, the names
of "posSibilities" mentioned here in
Rome are Rodrigue Cardinal Will
neuve, cardinal of Quebec, Cardinal
Copello of Buenos Aires and Card
inal Mundelein of Chicago.

Eviction Suit
CoIored Attorney Seeks
To Gust Association
From Library Quarters

Three former presidents of the
Bar Association of the District of
Columbia were on record today in
District Court as contending, as
counsel for the organization, that
the recent suit of colOred attorA
ney to ouSt the association from its
law library quarters in the court
building was an attempt to control
indirectly the discretion of the At
torney General of the United States.
The colored lawyer says the asso-
citation is illegally occupying public
space.
The three counsel for the associa-
tion-Walter M. Bastian, Godfrey
L. Munter and Henry I Quinn
asked District Court to dismiss the
action, filed by Attorney Huver I.
Brown, 811 Florida avenue NV,
the colored attorney. They con-
tended the complaint fails to state
claim against the association on
which relief can be granted.
The associations lawyers declare
that the bill of complaint shows
that the plaintiff has no such in
terest as to entitle him to main
tain this suit; that it uses space
In the Courthouse Building, under
control of the Attorney General, by
permission of the Nations chief law
officer. The complaint against the
association, the court is informed
is an attempt to do indirectly that
which could not be done directly
by suit against the Attorney Cen
eral. The complaint, they contend,
does not allege that the act of
Congress which placed control of
the Courthouse under the Attorney
General so expressly limited the
use to which the space in it might
be put as to deprive him of all
discretion.
Counsel for the association plead
that 1t is apparent from allegations
of the complaint that this is an
attempt indirectly to control the
discretion of the Attorney General
