DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1936 FIRST GOLF MICH SET FORTHURSDAY Louisburg Linksmen Will Tangle With West End Golfers Here At 2 P. M. The first inter-city golf match of the present season for members of Henderson Golf Club will be run off over the links at West End Country Club tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. While Henderson is in no golf lea gue this season, the club expects to play leading cities in this section on a home and home basis, furnishing plenty of competition for the mem bership. C. O. Seifert, O. T. Kirkland and E. F. Shaw composed the committee in charge of scheduling the contests, and they are open to any memtoer of the club who cares to play. Golfers who would like to compete in thq matches have been requested to post their names at the club house, and to be on hand the day matches are carded or else furnish a substitute. County Voting Strength Shown in Ballot Figures To Be Printed Tomorrow (Continued irom Page One.) is relative voting strength, counties which are casting light votes in the straw voting but which in actual elec tions record heavy votes will not suf fer by comparison with the heavy voting counties. In other words, tomorrow’s state wide tabulation will reveal the actual strength of each of the four candi dates in each of the 100 counties, re gardless of the number of straw bal lots recorded. For the information of readers, however, and so that com parisons can be readily checked by the dubious, tomorrow’s tabulation will carry the actual voting, by coun ties, as heretofore, as well as a per centage table, revealing each candi date’s comparative strength in each county. "Weighted” Vote Tomorrow Tomorrow’s tabulation will show the “weighted” vote percentages of eadh candidate’s strength in each county assessed against the county’s total ex pected vote as shown in today’s table. By comparing the expected total vote in your county with the percentage of your candidate’s strength you can get a true picture of just how he would fare if the election were held today. Taking the county having the state capital, Wake, and its vote as record ed in last week’s tabulation, one can see at once how weighting the vote presents a graphic picture! Last week’s Wake figures and percentages: Actual No. Percentages Straw Votes of Total Hoey 246 24.6 McDonald 488 48.9 Graham 257 25.7 Mcßae 8 0.8 As shown in the accompanying ta ble the expected Wake county vote will total 17,320 votes. Dividing the 17,320 among the four candidates ac cording to their percentages the re sult is: McDonald 8,469 Graham 4^451 Hoey ,p 261 Mcßae 139 T °tal 17,320 With 400,000 votes expected to be cast in the first primary, June 6, the following table shows the estimated vote for each county in the primary. The percentage figures in the first column represent the county’s vote in the first primary in 1932 and the votes shown in the second column represent the estimated vote for 1936, based on the 1932 figures.

House Committee Cites Trio In Its Vote To Proceed (Continuea from Fage One.) to punitive action, for the unholy rec ords of this investigation (into the Townsend old age pension movement) is a shield that will protect us,’’ said Downey’s statement, submitted by Thomas W. Hardwick, counsel for the Old Age Revolving Pension, Limited. The committee refused Hardwick permission to read the statement, but accepted it for consideration in exe cutive session. Downey was subpoenaed late yester day. “So, gentlemen, proceed,” Downey’s statement said. “Congressional in quisitions are on trial. Your delay to force the issue against us weakens your prestige and increases ours. We seek the opportunity to present be foie the bar of Congress or before an Amexican juiy our chai-ges against you. Will you uot,* therefore, hasten, your action, make good your threats and proceed against us?” Chairman Bell, Democrat, Missouri, opened today’s hearings by again call ing the names of the Rev. Clinton Wunder, of New York, and J. B. Kiefer, of Chicago, officials in the Townsend organization. Neither an swered. Bell also called the name of Dr. Townsend, who bolted the hearing last Thursday and threw the commit tee into confusion over what proce dure should he used against him. The chairman indicated a definite decision on the question of contempt action “within the next day or two.” He indicated that the question of whether Dr. Townsend would be tried in the House or in Federal court pro bably would be before the House toy the end of the week.

This is five times the reserve of 1929!” CONTRA Then we read these headlines in a report of the Alexander Hamilton in stitute: “Sharp decline in automobile pro duction due in near future. Annual output this year will be lower than in 1935 unless abnormal demand of last two years is maintained. Such a de mand is not in prospect.’’ We read also: "Unemployed reduced in March, tout 12,714,000 persons still out of work. “However, only 7,770,000 fewer per sons employed than at predepression peak.’’ THAT UTILITY JOKER That joker in the corporation bank ruptcy bill which would have saved utility managements from bankruptcy proceedings filed by investors has been laid at the door of Tom D. Mc- Keown. According to a statement made to the Senate judiciary sub committee, which unwittingly spon sored the amendment, Mr. McKeown represents Associated Gas & Electric, dominated by Howard C. Hopson. Ha says, however, he did not represent Associated at the time the amend*- ment was drawn. Mr. McKeown is a former Democratic representative representative fi’om Oklahoma. The joker in question, as previously explained in this column, would re quire five per cent of a company’s in debtedness to be represented in any suit for reorganization. The real joker was a retroactive clause, which would have invalidated proceedings against Associated by bondholders and would have permitted Hopson to remain in power.
