 Constantion Riccardi is charged with transporting illegally across state lines S18,000 worth of furniture belonging to Princess Doris Farid- es Sultaneh. Yesterday he testified that at one time he and the Princess considered forming the tin mining venture.

DEWEY IS INDICATED
 AS CHOICE
COP Delegates and Party Leaders Look 10 New
 Yorker to Win
By JACK BELL

PHILADELPHIA, June l7.--lR-- Harold E. Stassen conceded today he will be third man on the first Presidential nominating ballot at the COP convention opening here Monday.
 But the former Minnesota Gov ernor told news conference short ly after his arrival he remains confident he will win the nomina- tion by the ninth ballot.
 T am here to lead the liberal and younger forces of the Repub- lican party in a fight to win" Stassen said.
 Stassen said he thinks it is "a close question" whether Gov. Tom E. Dewey of New York or Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio will be in the lead on the first convention roll call.
 Stassen was asked how he views the possible candidacy of Senator Arthur vandenberg of Michigan. vandenberg is being boomed in certain quarters as dark horse candidate in the event of dead lock.
 T consider Sen. Vandenberg to be one of the outstanding states men of the Republican party" Stassen said.
 T make no attempt to anticipate what his moves will be in this convention"
 Close associates of Senator Van .nberg said that unless he changes lis plan, he will permit the Pres idential voting to take it's course without any statement from him. 5Vandenberg's position in the nominating contest was among the principal topics of conversation as delegates moved in for the 23d try of the Republican party to nominate a President.
 There were many in this flag hedecked convention city, however, who felt that it is about all over but the shouting. Their view and it was expressed widely by delegates and party leaders-is that Dewey is in such commanding position that he never will be head ed in the voting.
