the park. in a location known as Joe
Dehority's woods, strange sight
met the eye in an open corn field,
from which the corn had all been
cut. There thousands of private au-
tomobiles were parked. Beside them
stood scores of big food trucks that
brought from as far as Chicago sup
plies to feed the crowd. Through
the center of the corn field was q
lane f1anked with refreshment
stands.
To finish off the spectacle, a, big
elephant, symbol of the Republican
party. also was reaching out with
his trunk for his MONDAY meal,
quite unconcerned about political
issues or the milling crowd.
The ceremonies began with an in
vocation by DR.. William Lowe Bryan,
president emeritus of Indiana Uni
versity. Representative Halleck Of
Indiana, who placed Mr.. WILKES
name before the Republican conven-
ton, introduced Representative Mar
tin, who delivered the address Of
notification.
Mr.. Martin drew applause when
he said to Mr.. Willkie:
Your nomination at Philadelphia
did not come from any scheming
clique OF political bosses. it did not
come from any group Of conspirators
anxious to retain their control Of
the Government for selfish purposes.
Your nomination was the result of a
Nationwide demand OF q great
people anxious about their own fu-
ture and that of their Government"
Praise Seen by All.
In closing, Mr.. Martin declared:
The Republican party rejoices
that in you it has provided the Ma
ton with a man who is pre-emi-
nently qualified to meet the require
ments of this critical period. 1t re-
joices that your nomination has been
enthusiastically acclaimed by in
dependents, Jeffersonian Democrats,
progressives. liberals and Repub-
licanS alike.
You are not the hope of one po-
litical party; you are the hope Of a
majority OF the American people.
They want you boldly to lead this
great fight, this battle to perpetuate
free government in this land of
liberty, to restore equal justice, op-
portunity and jobs to the American
people, to keep this country safe
and secure from an attack within
and without our boundaries"
The ceremonies closed with bene-
diction by the Right Rev. Francis
Noll, Catholic Bishop of Fort Wayne.
While Mr.. Willkie was delivering
his acceptance speech the crowd
followed him intently, and with I'M
usual quiet for so large an assem-
blage, except when high spot in
his text gave rise to applause.
Speech Read From Text.
Because of the Importance the &C
ceptance speech plays in a cam
paign, Mr. Willkie read from the
carefully prepared text and without
the degree OF gesture or pointed
phrase that marks his extempo-
raneous talks.
When he had finished and started
from the platform police again had
job on their hands to open up a
path for him and Mrs. Willkie, and
her mother, Mrs Cora Wilk.
Finally they were back in their
automobile and a Gordon of police
surrounded the car to create a lane
through the corn field and the
thousands who, though wilted from
the warm afternoon, still tried to
get another glimpse Of the depar-
ture.

Because Of Grudee
Against Officer
BY the Associated Press.

J. Edgar Hoover, director Of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, an
nounced yesterday tina. Keawe Ka-
makela, IS, a Hawaiian, had con-
fessed in New York to putting sand
in the engine bearings and oil of the
steamship West Notus at Port Gam
BILE, Wash, last September n.
He was a crew member of the YES
sci at that time, Mr.. Hoover said.
He added Kamakela was seized on
his arrival in New York on another
ship yesterday.
The attempted sabotage. the cause
of which was not given by the F. B.
I. here, was traced to Kamakela,
Mr.. Hoover said. by laboratory tests
which showed that sand found in
the bearings was the same as that
taken from beneath the Hawaiian's
fingernails. Later, additional evi-
dence linking Kamakela was de-
veloped, he added.
The sand was found in the engines
before they were started and no
damage was done. Two barrels OF
sand were kept in the engine room
for fire prevention purposes.
In New York. B. E. Sackett, chief
of the F. BIS New York office, said
Kamakela told Federal agents ne
threw sand in the bearings because
of a grudge against ship othcer'
Kamakela will be arraigned before
a United States commissioner to-
morrow, Mr.. Sackett said, on charges
of damaging ship. a Federal
offense.

0bjector Handling Draft
Forms at 6. P. O. RESIGNS

The resignation Of conscientious
objector, who was suspended at the
Government Printing Office for his
refusal to handle forms made up for
the selective service organization,
was accepted today by Russell H.
Herrell, personnel director of the
G. P. 0.
Herbert Leader, the former en-
ploye, who lives at Greenbelt, Md,
was suspended and charged with
INSTRUMENTATION last Thursday after
he repeatedly told his foreman he
would not help build war machine
to add to bloodshed and killing" and
stopped working when he was asked
to handle selective service printing.
Mr.. Leader had been employed at
G.. P. o. for about year wrapping
and tying bundles to be sent various
Government departments.
"He was one of number of en-
ployes handling this type of work, I"
Mr.. Herrell said. Bundles are not
segregated according to destinations
when they are wrapped and tied, so
Mr.. Leader naturally received ma
terials made up for selective service
and the War Department, along
with those designed for any other
departments"
The suspended employe conferred
with Mr.. Herrell yesterday and later
submitted his formal resignation.

Hague Calls Probe
Effort 10 Defeat
Roosevelt in Jersey
Mayor and Tobey Engage
In Verbal Skirmish
At Turbulent Hearing
Py the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 30-A Sem
ate subcommittee's investigation OF
election fraud charges in Jersey
City and other parts of New Jer-
sey was denounced and ridiculed
by Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City yesterday as a "10-cent, pic
ayune political inquiry intended to
deprive President Roosevelt of the
States Is electoral votes.
Recriminations flew fast and
furiously between Mayor Hague and
Senator Tobey, Republican, of New
Hampshire, consuming so much of
the two-hour session that little
time was left to the question Of
fraud. After the turbulent hear
ing, to which Mayor Hague was
subpoenaed when he refused to ap-
pear voluntarily, the committee ad-
journed until after election.
Mr.. Hague repeatedly asked Sem
ator Tobey about conditions in New
Hampshire when the Senator quiz
zed him concerning his Democratic
stronghold of Hudson County.
Asked what was the debt of Jer-
sey City, Mr.. Hague retorted;
whats the debt of New Hamp-
shire?" Then pointing to Mr.. To-
bey's son and secretary he said:
Look at Willkie whispering in his
ear"

exceeded his salary as mayor, the

mittee"
AT another point, during a series
National Committee shouted count
er-charges about Mr.. Tobey's alleged
"phoney stocks"
You're silly and acting like a
child; you just can't take it," Mr..
Tobey said
Not from a lunatic who should
be in mental hospital Mr.. Hague
retorted.
Warnings Ignored.
Several times Mr.. Hague asked:
How long have we got to endure
this? It's so silly" Time and again
he would interrupt Mr.. Tobey with
the remark: Louder, Senator, loud
err" you're shouting like a mad
man; or "oh, let him rave; or
listen to him"
Senator Adams, Democrat, OF COL
orado, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, repeatedly warned against
personalities" but to little avail.
Asked by Mr. Tobey what he
thought of a statement by Supreme
Court Justice Frank Murphy, made
when Mr.. Murphy was Attorney
General, to the effect that conditions
in Hudson County were awful" Mr..
Hague replied:
Why don't you ask Murphy?
Frank Murphy made those wild
statements all over the country.
What became of those wild state
mentS?"
Mr.. Tobey referred to the civil lib
critics court case in which the United

ordered the Hague administration in
Jersey City to grant equal rights to

Mr.. Hague smiled and said that
case involved his activities against
Communists. He added
That's an awful crime. I'm
shocked to think I'm such crude
man to go after the Communists.
Then as an afterthought:
1T can't be possible, Senator. that
you're little tainted. You're not in
sympathy with the Reds, are you,
Senator?"
When Chairman Adams asked
parties to the hearing to keep this
on as high a level as possible, Mr..
Hague announced TO the courtroom
at large:
This is pure politics. They are
trying to defeat President RooSe-

sy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-In a reply
to John L. Lewis Endorsement of
Wendell Willkie, Senator Wagner Of
New York charges that the Re-
publican nominee, plus the Re-
publican leadership of today, con-
stitute most reactionary and anti
social threat" to the rights and we'll
being of labor.
The author of the National Labor
Relations Act and other New Deal
labor legislation declared in a coast
forecast broadcast last night that
Mr.. Lewis counsel to workers
shocked the liberal and humani-
tartan sentiment of America"
The best of leaders make mis-
takes, Senator Wagner continued,
and sometimes they are led into
error by uncurbed ambition, or by
long brooding over some personal
piQue."
The Central Issue.
THE central issue in this cam
paign," he went on, sis just this:
Do the social and economic philoso-
phies of the Republican candidate
and the company he keeps give you
comfort and assurance for the fu-
ture? Or do they remind you OF
Herbert Hoover?"
Senator Wagner said that when
he went before a Senate commit
tee ito defend the National Labor
Relations Act against certain Grip
pling amendments" he learned that
some of the enemies Of the act
gathered in conclave to continue
the fight"
1T was not surprising to find Tom
Girdler among them-the man
whose name has become the symbol
of labor-baiting and the oppression
of labor.
Willkie Lauded Girdler.
But it is shocking to recognize,
in a man now bidding for the presi-
dency, the same Wendell Willkie
who at that meeting acclaimed Tom
Girdler as one of the true heroes
of America, and it is equally shock
ing to hear the Republican candi-
date pose as labors friend when
the man who is soliciting funds for
his campaign is Ernest T. Weir, who
set the precedent by defying the
labor provisions of N. r. A.; the
Weir who uses thugs and spies
against his workers, who Is first
and foremost fighting everything
that unionism means to the worker" ."
Senator Wagner declared Mr..
Willkie "is a man whose economic
philosophy sounds like Mr.. Hoover,
whose talk about social security
sounds like Mr.. Landon, whose labor
record looks like that of Mr.. Girdler
and Mr.. Weir, whose business career
was perched on top of speculative
stock pyramid and whose public
career began when he led the fight
of the power monopoly against
development of electric power for
the people.
The only indispensable thing in
this campaign Is that Wendell
Willkie be overwhelmingly re-
pudiated by the American people" )"

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The French

she was freshly painted black with

French Line officials said she

mitted by the French Embassy in
Washington to her commander.
Crew members believed the ship
was bound for England to evacuate
French nationals from the British
Isles. Officials of the British min
istry of shipping, however, had no
knowledge of such a mission.
Another report was that she would
go to the French West Indies or
French Guiana, which have been
suffering from food shortage be-
cause of the lack of shipping since

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Fresh from

Roosevelt because events move so
quickly-the man of experience is
our man of the hour"
The envoy took occasion on a

from the day I went to the Court
of st. James until this minute I
have never given to one single in
dividual in the world any hope
whatsoever that any stage or under
any conditions could the United
States be drawn into the war"
He asserted that statements say
ing President Roosevelt was lead
ing America into war were false" 4"
as the President has said, and added
that the truth of the matter is
that there is no more harmful step
which could be taken from the view
point of Great Britain than our
declaration of war"
To declare war, he continued
would handicap efforts to give aid
to Great Britain. The problems of
transporting an army to England
alone would be Staggering"
ITO suggest, yes, I say even to
suggest, that our boys will soon be

IF President Roosevelt were as
wicked as his opponents charge,
which he is not, and even if he had

has not, the facts are against our
participation in this war"

perhaps. But only after white
men have been driven out of
Hongkong, Singapore, Indo-China

If under-cover negotiations

not wait or attack. Help would
