Ontario Official
Cannot Move j. ).
Policies, Says Hull
Nye Terms Conont Talk
Case of Concentrated
Propaganda

The appeal of Ontario's attorney
general. Gordon Conant, to Cana
dians last night to press the United
States to enter the war on the side
Of the allies can have no effect on
the policies of this Government,
Secretary of State Hull emphasized
today.
Meanwhile, Senator Nye, Republi-
can, OF North Dakota characterized
the Ontario onlcial,s speech as
concentrated propaganda" and ex-
pressed his sorrow that Canadians
would urge any step that would
take the United States into a cause
they themselves are somewhat
dubious about"
Asked for comment at his press
conference on Mr.. Conant's remarks,
Mr.. Hull said that no nondescript
utterance of any individual or minor
official abroad could have anything
remotely to do with the policies of
eAAo 1OVCI IlIlcIlt.
Then asked if he believed Mr..
Conant's remarks were inspired by
a recent pro-ally speech in Toronto
by James H. r. Cromwell, United
States Minister to Canada, Mr.. Hull
replied that he vas satisfied that
the kind OF speech Mr.. Conant made
would not have been inspired by
any one.
Expanding his criticism of the
Conant speech, Senator Nye said:
1T is all very well to tAlk about
democracy. liberty and freedom, but
before the United States falls for
that kind Of talk again, It Is going
to see the cards laid on the table
and have those terms defined.
There isn't single challenge in
the issues involved in the Euro
pean war that would merit q step
by the United States that would
mean the sacrifice OF single Amer
ican life. This is in keeping with
the concentrated propaganda that
is going to be directed at the United
States from now on"
Senator Pepper, Democrat, Of
Florida said he thought Attorney
General Conant was lust like any
other fellow who is hard pressed
in fight-he's hollering for help,
and don't blame him."

In Milwaukee, Finds
E|oquence Pays
Popular Young Attorney
Defeats Mayor Hoon.
Socialist Veteran
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Stan Correspondent.

MILWAUKEE,, April 4.-Mil-
waukee is still rubbing its eyes in
surprise over the defeat of Mayor
Daniel Webster Hoan by 32-year- old
Carl F. Zeidler.
For "a years the Socialist Hoan-
he was IS years old when first
elected-has been in the Mayors
ONCE. He appeared to be unbeatable.
Yet on Tuesday he went down be-
fore Mr. Zeidler, who ran on a nom
partisan ticket, although he is re-
puted to be a Republican. Mr.. Zeid-
Ter is dubbed Milwaukee's number
one extrovert. Since he left Mar
quette Law School and took up
practice here, he has talked and sung
and joined every known kind of
organization until he has friends and
acquaintances In the Thousands.
Last January Mr.. zeidler resigned
as IN assistant city attorney to
make the race for Mayor. Some OF
his friends tried to tell the young
man that he would have no chance
against the veteran Hoan, the un-
beatable. But nothing would stop Mr..
Zeidler II convinced myself" he said
Immediately after he was elected,
that I could carry on crusade for
better government In the city of
Milwaukee and In America. I
learned a lot about the way things
go on in the city hall while I was
assistant city attorney. I wanted
to help free the people of Milwaukee
from the shackles of Socialism"
Supporter Of the La Follettes.
"The shackles" imposed by Mayor
Hoan do not appear to have been
very heavy, for he is credited with
having given the city good govern
ment. However, the people Of Mil
waukee turned him out-and some
of the conservatives were glad of the
chance. Mayor Hoan was always a
supporter Of the senior Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, and in more
recent years he mas gone down the
line for the present Senator, Bob,
and generally supported the Pro-
gressives in their Statewide con-
tests.
In some quarters Mayor Hoan's
defeat was interpreted as bad
omen for the La Toilette Progress
sives in the fall elections. Milwaukee
has for years been a radical city
now it has gone conservative-and
the radicals are shaking their heads.
Mr.. Zeidler several years ago be-
gan the crusade which landed him
in the mayoralty Tuesday. Maybe
it was just part of q general program
to get Mr.. Zeidler known to the
people of his home city. Anyway.

1y the Associated Press.
The Dies committee met defiance
today from another Communist
party leader, Philip Frankfeld Of
Boston, and voted to cite him for
contempt in an uproarious session
from which Frankfeld said he was
elected by Capitol police.
The Boston Communist, executive
secretary Of the Communist party
IN New England, refused to answer
a single committee question unless
he was given permission to read q
resolution which he said 10000 citi-
7ens Of Massachusetts, had adopted
In the Boston Area last Sunday.
Il will not answer a single oues-
ton until you listen to the voice Of
the American people," the chubby
Communist ofncial shouted, his
black eyes flashing.
Chairman Dies of the investiga-
ton group refused permission to
read the resolution, and Frankfeld
roared:
DO you mean to silence the voices
Of 10000 Americans?"
Witness Then Cited for Contempt.
Mr.. Dies banged for order, re-
buked the witness for making such
statements, turned to committee
members for a moment and then
announced the contempt citation.
'"The American people will issue
a writ of habeas corpus against
you," Frankfeld shouted as Repre-
sentative Dies ordered him from the
witness stand.
The pudgy Communist turned to
the press table nearby and hastily
distributed copies of the resolution
he had tried to read.
Some one in the audience shouted !:
Put him out of here, the dirty
rat!"
Frankfeld walked from the room
with Capitol policeman.
Smiling broadly outside, he told
reporters he had been thrown out.
Representative Dies denied that
he had ordered the witness elected.

Roosevelt Will 5weer
Illinois, 3 10 |,
|ckes Predicts
Corner Spokesman
Irresponsible He Says;
Refuses Compromise
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
predicted today that President
Roosevelt will win a sweeping vic
tory next Tuesday in the Illinois
Democratic primary, basing his pre-
diction on the strength of the third
term movement as indicated in re-
turns from Wisconsin.
The vote in Wisconsin is nothing
compared to what will happen in
Illinois," he remarked at a press
conference. Il predict the Roose-
welt ticket will get better than an
Stool vote in the Illinois primary"
By implication, at least, Mr.. Ickes
contsnded that House Majority
Leader Rayburn and Vice President
Garner should clarity claims made
after the Wisconsin primary that q
vote for Mr.. Garner in the primaries
would mean q vote for the Repub-
Lean nominee tn the presidential
election.
Calls 6pokesmen irresponsible"
The claim Of E. D. Germany and
Mrs. Clara Driscoll, Texas co-chair-
men of the Garner-for- President
Committee, that 'the third-term is
sue is now dead" was based, Mr..
Ickes said. on the assumption that
the combined Garner and Repub-
Hcan votes in Wisconsin outnum-
bered the Roosevelt votes.
Il don't think they talk like the
majority leader of the House and
the majority leader in the Senate"
Mr.. 1ckes added.
1T is just as logical to say that
every vote for Senator Vandenberg
will be q vote for Roosevelt and
that isn't true. I don't think these
irresponsible spokesmen-and I say
irresponsible advisedly-really rep
resent the feelings and views of the
majority leader Of the House and the
majority leader in the Senate"
Sees Managers Out Of Line.
Secretary 1ckes said he believed
Mr.. Gamers candidacy was based
on the assumption that the people
should elect a party candidate. He
added:
II don't think Mr.. Garner has
changed from that view," though
some Of his managers seem to have
gotten out of line"
Secretary Ickes said he did not
expect to engage in any activity
during the campaign nor would he
go into any State in which there
was party contest.
Commenting on the large vote
polled by Thomas E. Dewey in the
Republican primary in Wisconsin
and New York, Secretary Ickes con-
tended, IF I were Mr.. Roosevelt I
would want Mr.. Dewey to be the
G. O. p. candidate" He declared,
however, he believed that Mr.. Dewey
is stronger now than he will be a
month hence.
Won't Talk Compromise.
Secretary Ickes indicated he was
unwilling to espouse any "compro-
mise" candidate such as Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of Montana.
II have only one candidate" he
said in referring to the President.
"You don't talk Of compromise un-
less there is q deadlock"

We had been taking in water as

the water.

Passenger Sees Ship.
About six hours had gone-lt
seemed like six minutes-and then
Mr.. Warburton, a passenger, said in
a conversational tone: why, there
is ship; can see it quite plainly"
He pointed without standing up. We
had been hoping and praying for
that but there were no shouts.
When an officer was hoisted up
he could not see anything. The pas
senger was sure and soon we could
all see the steamer and its smoke.
There was faster pulling at the
oars then, but not much progress.
Would she pass us, was the only
question now. We fired five of our
nine lights from a signal pistol. 1t
was now fairly light, but orange
flares could be seen suspended by
little parachutes after the charges
had exploded. Other boats fired
their flares, although some counseled
prudence. We might need them at
