doom by nominating Horace
Greeley, the wildly eccentric
editor.
The Republicans renominated
Grant. and his success was over

The great panic OF 1873 COM
pleted the chaos. Everything went
wrong. Everybody went wrong.
The country was never IN such a
condition OF confessed corruption
and confusion.
STAGE COMEBACK
The Democrats came back 10
life with a vengeance, winning big
victories in the congressional cleo
tionS. AT their convention they
nominated Gov. Tilden of New
York on the second ballot.
The Republicans were in such
confusion that they had TO find a
dark horse. On the seventh ball
lot Gen Rutherford b. Hayes was
nominated. He promised reform.
The panic and political corrup-
ton would have lost the country
TO the Republicans, but they still
had the southern vote under mill
tary control and the election was
so close that il was thrown into
Congress and an electoral COM
mission.

Officers Wife Receivers
Car, Catches 'Joy-Rider'

A 23-year-old slender wife of a
naval officer told in Municipal Court
yesterday how she recovered her car
in which three colored men al
legedly were riding-she walked
right up to it, pulled out two of the
men and talked the driver into
meeting the police.
The arrested man, Eddie Gray, 80,
of the first block of Ivy street Sc,
who, allegedly identified himself as
a parking lot attendant to Mrs.
Alonzo B. Kight and drove off with
her car Monday, was held for grand
jury action under $4,000 bond on a
joy-riding charge.
Mrs. Kight a 5-foot-7 brunei
whose husband is an ensign sta
toned at the Naval Research Lab
oratory, told Judge Ellen K. Raedy
that she saw her car stopped at a
traffic light while her husband had
gone to call the naval shore patrol.
Grabbing two of the men, who
were apparently too startled to re-
sist, she pulled them out and they
ran away. Then she told Gray, she
said, that the police and shore
patrol would be there in minute,
and he voluntarily drove back to
the parking lot to meet them.

Is Political Sniping'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Dies Subcommittee investi-
eating the affairs of the CIO Po-
litical Action Committee today stood
accused of political "sniping, not
investigating" by one of the men,
bers of the Dies Committee.
Representative Eberharter, DEM
ocrat, of Pennsylvania, leveled the
charge, contending it 'is misusing
congressional funds"
The Pennsylvania made his
statement yesterday at a subcom-
mittee hearing. In an exchange
with Acting Chairman Costello and
Representative Thomas, Republican
of New Jersey, he declared:
This subcommittee is just con-
Quoting a. sniping political cam
paign against the Democratic party.
1t is using the funds appropriated
by Congress for purpose which is
highly improper"
Mr.. Costello reminded Mr.. Eber-
harter that he was present "only
as a guest" and asserted there
is no sniping going on whatsoever.
The fact is that we are bringing out
concrete evidence that the CIO-PAC
Is hotbed of Communism and we
are just presenting these facts to
the American public to show it that
labor is not running the CIO-PAC." !"
At one point Mr.. Eberharter at
tempted to question a witness but
Mr.. Costello ruled him out of order
and ordered the next witness called,
although Mr.. Eberharter continued
to protest.

White House Denies Report
New York Trip Was Vetoed

Reports that plans for President
Roosevelt to speak at campaign
rallies in New York and elsewhere
have been vetoed by White House
ruling were denied by spokesman
for the President today.
Thomas D. Blake, assistant press
secretary, recalled that the Presi-
dent had said on several occasions
that he had no campaign plans be-
yond the speech last night and that
the statement still held good.
According to story in the New

leaders said they had been told the
President could not make a speak
ing tour because of a ruling that he
cannot appear at any public gath
erings." Because of the security
factor, no publicity is given to the
Presidents trips.
