Blame Is Withheld
In G. o. P.'s Error
Explanations Heard For Failure TO
Advertise Now Nullified Convention

While leaders of the Republican
Party in Delaware yesterday con-
tinued their informal investigation
of the failure of the two lower coun-
ty. committees to advertise fully
their delegate election dates. two
explainations were offered and a
general tightening of party pro-
cedure to prevent future irregu-
larities was ordered.
Two members of the Republican
State Committee. one from Kent
and the other from Sussex County
visiting party leaders here. stated
that their county committee chair
men knew the election law thor
oughtly but had been told in Will
mingtOn mot to bother about" the
second insertion of the advertise
ment.
Confusion Seen
This was one explanation which
was being studied. The other also
under consideration. was that the
advertised state committee call for
the convention of July 10. now
nullified because the delegates were
not legally elected. had been con-
fused with notice of the delegate
election which the law states must
be published in two issues of two
different newspapers.
II was stated in Wilmington that
no formal blame will be placed on
any member of the Republican State
Committee or any of the two county
committees for the error which has
forced the party to call new state
convention for the nomination of
presidential electors and a state
ticket.
Party To Pay Cost
Republican registration officers
who worked at the first delegate
election on Saturday. July Is, will
be asked to offer their services free
on Aug. 90. a member of the COM
mittee said. The cost of the dele
gate election will have to be borne
by the party because of state law
prohibiting a county from bearing
the expense of more than two pri-
mary elections in one year for any
political party.

One of the most important as
poets of the disaster involved the
jamming of at least go bodies

these runways blocked an entire

Circus performers, many of the

operations.
Tight police lines were thrown
around the disaster scene where
hundreds of frantic mothers and
fathers ran TO and fro, seeking
their children. Some Of the police

sent their boys and girls TO see
