(By Opeeial Leased Wire.)
Washington, Nov. 6. Tar Heels in
Washington, those dropping ia on Con
gress for a a day or two ot a time and
those whose political jobs keep them
hero, are anxiously watching an d wait
ing oa the campaign getting under way
in th Ninth District. The choice of a
successor to Federal Judge Webb is
right now overshadowing ia intereat the
gubernatorial campaign in the State as
things are seen here.
Thi may be partially because of th
bearing the campaign ia the Ninth is
likely to hare on the gubernatorial race.
As has been suggested before, it is
doubtful it any political appointment
within the history of ths State ha been
so allied and associated with the whole
political fabric of the commonwealth,
and, particularly with the political fab
ric of the western district.
Bight now much is hanging on the
choice of n principal clerk fcr the west
era district courts. No one imputes to
Mr, Webb any political designs in the
diatribution of patronage, when the time
comes, but th all absorbing topic in
Washington is th possibilities that lie
ia this particular appointment.
Soma sf tha Poaelbllitlc.
For instance, if Judge Webb ahould
point James A. Hartness, of Iredell, to
ths clerkship it would undoubtedly be
acclaimed a victory for Senator Sim
mona inasmuch aa Mr. Hartness is polit
ieally "close"' to th senior Senator. And
thU would not bf looked upoa aa a polit
ically, aagaeious move by Judge Webb's
nephew. lieutenant Governor - Max
Gardner, aad hia friends. Inasmuch u
Mr, Hartness is ae loss endeared to
CameroB Merriaoa than to Seaator Sim
mons,
On th other hand, If Mr. Webb
should appoint Manly McDowell to the
clerkship, Clyd Hoey'a prospect for
Coagree And Max Gardner prospects
for Governor will be brightened. Mr.
Hartness is aa Eighth district politician
and Sheriff McDowell is much of a fee
tor ia the Ninth aad it' th Ninth
in which Mr. Hoey ia running. Again,
too, recognition of the Burke sheriff by
Judge Webb would either "bring the
sheriff in th Gardner fold or neutralise
hi support of Mr. Morrison.
The appointment of Sheriff McDowell
I calculated, by all th political math
ematicians here, to promise the most
salutary eneet oa tne eanaiaaey oz Air.
Hoey of any single thing that can nap-
pea between now and the primary. It
would also help Mr. Gardner unless the
opposition camp would declare th (le
va tion of Mr. Hoey too much of a polit
ical monopoly for Shelby and Cleveland
county.
They eould argue and doubtless will
that ehalby now ha the Lieutenant
Governor, a Superior Court nnd a
Federal Court judge and an Assistant
United State District Attorney. Th
Lieutenant-Governor and tho Assistant
District Attorney want promotion.
, Senatera Not Interested.
One thing that is generally re cog
nlsed about Webb appointment, is
that h doesn't owe it to either, of the
North Carolina Senators. Hi appoint
ment, while sponsored byiiBenntor
Overmen and put through the Senate

srives- here, - tomorrow from Clinton
where he has been thrilling the horn
folks sine Tuesday. Th idea origin
ated with Representative Sam Brinson
1st this afternoon and had extended to
tie entire Tsr Heel delegation and the
North Carolina Society by night Both
are busy on a program looking to the
entertainment of Lieutenant Maynard
hem tomorrow. -
I, was undecided tonight whether th
extent of th welcome will take th
form of the usual congressional recogni
tion to dignitaries or not. Ths Tar
Bcel members believe that Maynard. is
distinguished enough for the Hous snd
Benate to recess long enough to receive
him but such welcomes are usually ar
ranged several days ahead,' and for the
reason that it waa lets before the idea
bcran to "take" with the Tar Heel mem
bers, bo motion had been made in either
House when adjournment came today
for a recess to receive Maynard.
Ir lieu of this formal welcome from
tongressK. however, Maynard will un
doubtedly b roeogniifd at th instanc
f th Tar Heel members. Upon his ar
rival tomorrow, if he get hero before

Orders went to regional directors ef
the nation's railroads from Director
General Hinea to eliminate train serv

public interest but it waa officially an
nounced that no general curtailment of

The discontinuance of foreign ton-
nag bunkering wa th first general

the eoal strike began last Saturday to
ward curtailment of transportation.
Ths central committee made it plaia
that American-owned ships and tonnage

Boports from agents of. the Department
of Justice and from miners and opera
tors claimed 44 union mines in operation
in West Virginia, a gala of 82 over last
Saturday. Officers of the American
Federation of Labor and representatives
of the miners denied these reports and
asserted their own advice showed no
crumbling of union force anywhere ia

Injunction May Co Over. -There
