Charges Os Irregularity In Dozen Primary Votes Fraud Allegations in Many Instances; More Furore Than Any Election in Past Three Decades; Chal lenges Range from Coroner to Congress Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 11.—At least a dozen, perhaps more, primary contests this summer had aftermaths of charges of fraud and irregularity or were so close that recounts were demanded without any positive allegations that the defeated party had not been squarely treated. In all, the 1938 primaries have pro bably caused more talk and furore than any within the last three de cades —certainly they have deprived the State Election Board members of any chance for a vacation this year. The contests and arguments have involved everything from Congress seats down to the comic relief angle of the Republican race for coroner in Lenior county. At least one State Senate nomina tion has been changed by a recount and there isn’t any telling just where the thing will end. The contests have broken in a scat tering variety of ways from all sec tions of the State. A general round up of some of the principal ones might not be amiss at this time.

The White Oak plant, one of the largest denim plants in the United States, was closed dpring the morn ing after a large number of the work ers failed to report, and operations at the print works were practically closed at the same time. A larger per centage of workers reported for duty at Promixity and operations were said to be in full force at the Revolution mills. Herman Cone, president of the Proximity Manufacturing Company, said competitive conditions in the tex tile field made it imperative that the Cone mills reduce wages, effective im mediately, in order to compete with other large textile industris through out the South, where wages have al ready been reduced. was assailed by two defeated Greens boro aspirants (J. D. Atkfnson, Jr., and Edney Ridge,) who alleged that Judge Lewis Teague, High Point can didate, had been favored by all sorts of irregular and fraudulent practices. A probe by the Guilford election board resulted in ousting of at least three precinct election officials; and a plea from the Guilford grand jury turned in a report requesting Gover nor Hoey to assign the attorney gen eral’s office to the task of obtaining indictments of officials guilty of il legal acts. In the second primary, Teague won. The governor hasn’t yet acted. Eighth Congressional Nobody knows yet whether W. O. Burgin, of Davidson, or C. B. Deane, of Rich mond, is going to get the Democratic nomination in this district, though Burgin has the pole position by vir tue of a majority of something like 100 votes on the face of the returns. Nearly 40,000 votes were cast in the run-off which is the subject of con troversy. Burgin has asked for, and is get ting, a recount of absentee ballots in Richmond. Deane has asked for, and hasn’t yet been granted, a recount in Davidson. The candidates also see, or profess to see, inequities of one sort or other in other counties—not (Continued on Page Six.), _ U. S.

Two previous notes, one a month ago and the other last Saturday, had asked that all foreign vessels and foreigners along the Yangtze river in the path of the Japanese "advance to Hankow be removed. The United States rejected the first note and has not answered the second. The new memorandum informed foreign diplomats tnat concentration of Chinese troops and military estab lishments in Hankow and other cities nearby necessitated a bombing cam paign. A Japanese spokesman said the neutrality of the French concession in Hankow would be respected, but that he had no knowledge of any re fuge zone in that area for Chinese civilians. He did not say when the threatened aerial campaign would be gin. Japanese planes already were ac tive in the Yangtze valley, bombing Nanchang and iiar.gyang air fields and the boom across the river 30 miles up-stream ,from Kiukian. A Ja panese report said five buildings were set afire at Nanchang and that four planes were destroyed and two dam aged at Hangyang. Desperate > Stand Made By Spanish Hendaye, France, July 11.—(AP) — The Spanish government rushed all available reinforcements into the Es padan mountains today to form a hu man wall along the last natural bar rier to the insurgent advance against Sagunto and Valencia. Insurgent dispatches said the range had been “invested” but military ob servers expressed doubt that the in surgents had enough man-power to surround the mountains completely. Squadrons of insurgent war planes swept over government lines in the Espadan mountains today in succes sive attacks. Reports from the battle zone sail the defenders were hanving on. Reforms In Election Law Seem Likely Widespread Charges of Irregularities Create Problem for Legislature Raleigh, July 11 (AP)—North Caro lina’s Democratic primaries this year may make election law revision a ma jor issue in the next legislature. While the State Board of Elections prepared to meet tomorrow to can vass returns of the July 2 run off vote and hear charges of fraud in Wilkes and Union counties, talk was heard among party leaders on the subject of election law reform. The charges were brought by C. B. Deane, of Rockingham, who appa rently trailed W. O. Burgin, of Lex ington, by 140 votes in their run-off race for the Democratic nomination for the eighth district congressman. Governor oHey said he felt “abso lutely satisfied” with the way Soli citor H. L. Koontz is conducting an investigation into alleged primary ir regularities in High Point and Guil ford county. “I discussed the situation with the solicitor,” Hoey said, “and found that he was devoting himself to the mat ter, going into it fully."

(AF)—Capital speculation over a successor to Su preme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, who died Saturday a long illness, centered today on two possible courses: President Roosevelt might select Senator Robertt Wagner, Democrat New York, or some other New York er, because the late justice was a resi dent of that State. He might appoint a resident of the Far West because tlpat region is not now represented on the court. There is, of course, no requirement that the President follow either of those two courses. In any event, he will probably make no appointment before fall, because the court is in recess until October. STATE PEACH Good Quality and Size Fail To Bolster Income of Orchard ists Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 11.—Despite good quality and size of North Carolina peaches, • growers are now receiving between 30 and 40 per cent less per bushel for this yar’s crop compared to last season, the State Department of Agriculture’s markets division re ported today.

Prior to being appointed to the United States Supreme Court by President Hoover, Justice Cardozo was on the bench of New York’s high ost court. Judge Lehman is a brother of Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New York. The few political leaders remain ing in Washington’s mid-summer heat agreed that Mr. Roosevelt undoubt edly will choose a man of the same liberal views as the 68-year-old Car dozo, who had voted in favor of more New Deal legislation than any of his associates. One of his last major opinions up held the constitutionality of the so cial security program. In Por Onester, N. Y., political and civic leaders who honored Justice Cardozo in life gathered to honor him in death. Funeral services for the distinguished jurist were held at 1 p. m., eastern standard time at the home of his old friend, Justice Irvine Lehman, of the State Court of Ap peals of New York. ISOLATION Britain In Spanish Area In Much Same Plight as U. S. in 1915 By CHARLES 1\ STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, July 11. Premier Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain takes practically the same position, as to the war in Spain, that safety first folk in this country took in the early days of the world conflict. It was perfectly evident toward the end of 1914 or early in 1915, at any rate that eastern European waters were dangerous for neutral shipping as well as for the shipping of the belligerent nations. However, these were very profitable waters for our vessels to trade in, provided, as we (Continued on Page Five.). 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY ATLANTIC HOP 10 PARIS COMPLETEO IN IGI-2 HOURS Second Leg of Round-World Flight, With Moscow as Goal, Is Delayed by Weather TO RENEW PROBABLY TUESDAY American Flier Had Hoped To Take Off for Russian Capital in Two Hours Aft er Landing at Leßourget; Gets To Paris Sooner Than Was Expected Paris, July 11 (AP)—Howard Hughes, after spanning the Atlantic New York to Paris non-stop in less than half of Colonel Charles A. Lind bergh’s time, was delayed tonight on his globe-girdling flight by bad weath er and slight damage to his big twin motored monoplane. He announced that he would not take off for Moscow on the second leg ot the flight until tomorrow. The American flier had hoped to bo off within two hours after landing l'rcm his record-shattering crossing 16 hours, 35 minutes from New York. But at the last minute a slight crack was discovered in the tail of his plane. He estimated repairs would require about threvj hours. Hughes himself was at the controls when the plane was wheeled to the runway late in the afternoon, prepar atory for the take-off for Moscow. But he wheeled it back into the hanger for the repairs. He landed here at 4:55 p. m. (10:55 a. m., eastern stand ard time).

(10:58 a. m. eastern stand ard time) this afternoon on a trans- Atlantic flight from New York, th» first leg of a projected round-the world flight. The American sportsman-flier glid ed to an easy landing, eaxiing up the concrete runway in front of the air drome, where a crowd of officials and on-lookers rushed to meet the big twin-motored plane. The flight was made in less than half the time of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who flew non-stop from New Yor kto Paris in May, 1927, in ?3 1-2 hours. Hughes’ time from New York was 16 hours, 31 minutes. The American flag was run up on the airdrome mast five minutes be fore Hughes and his four-man crew loomed over the field long before they were expected. The fliers were expected to remain in Paris long enough only to re-fuel, and then take off for Moscow, in hope of completing their round-the world flight within six days. The big plane rolled to a gentle stop in front of the air field main building, where United States Ambas sador William C. Bullitt headed a throng of French and Americans wait ing to greet the airmen. Hughes, however, did not cut the two motors for almost a full minute after rolling to a stop. As soon as the propellers stopped turning, the ambassador went to the door of the plane and opened it. He stuck his head in and shouted his congratulations. Hughes said he was planning to take off for Russia “as quickly as pos (Continued on Page Two.)
