Through the sworn testimony
of defendants on trial in the
legislative graft conspiracy case,
the defense sought today to es-
tablish that Maj. Charles F.
Hemans, Lansing lobbyist, false
ly took oath that he had bribed
II members of the 1899 legis-
lature as the hired agent of the
other five respondents, officials
of finance companies.
Four past and present mem
bers of the legislature followed
one another to the witness
stand yesterday to brand as
false the testimony of Hemans,
q key prosecution witness, and
Joseph c. Roosevelt, his assist
ant, that the brides were paid.
More Observation-Disclosures are to
testify in the next several days.
Recalled to the stand today
was former state Senator Wftt-

testimony yesterday was inter-

nominate President Roosevelt
for fourth term.
The Governor scheduled for

Cabinet of State Department
heads which might last through
the afternoon balloting on the
presidents denomination. He did
not listen to radio broadcasts of
the Democratic conventions OPP

Instead he chatted briefly
with Rep. James w. Wadsworth
(R-NY), co-author of the Selec-
tive Service Act, with whom he
had conferred at length the pre-
vious night, then put in. a full
day at his gubernatorial duties
during which he received a five
member delegation of the Wom-
ems Army Corps.
Dewey, who has discussed ma
tional issues and various phas-
es of the Presidential campaign
with Republican Congressional
delegations of four states thus
far, is expected to resume such
conferences next week.

May Join
Dem Revolt

CHICAGO, July 20 - Up
Tennessees delegation, steered
by Senator Kenneth d. Nickel
lar, threatened to join the SOU
thern revolt against President
Roosevelt's denomination today
as harried Democratic PLATFORM
drafters sought way out of the
seething racial issue.
Torn between demands for
anti-discrimination legislation,
poll tax repeal and a Federal
law against lynching on the
one hand, and southern insist
ence on maintenance of white
supremacy" on the other, party
planksters toiled far into the
morning.
Apparently disturbed by ru-
mors the committee headed by
Rep. John w. Mccormack of
Massachusetts,, might attempt to
write Clio and Negro organiza-
ton demands into a racial plank,
the 75-year-old Mcclellan called
Tennessee delegates into secret
session late yesterday.
They rescinded the pledge,
made only the day before, of Is
votes to Roosevelt, pending a
look at the platforms racial
declaration.
"We don't know what they
will put into the PLATFORM" Nc
Kellar told reporters. eve don't
want to be committed until we
do. For the present, we are un-

The controversy raised by at
tempts to satisfy delegates from
pivotal northern states which
have substantial Negro votes
overshadowed discussion of a
foreign plank. Most of the COM
mittee favor an international
organization empowered to use
force in preserving world peace.
Actual drafting was in the
hands of Mccormack and II 9TH
