Cole Cached this decision, he said, after kur days of almost constant question lngi during which the man changed hhs statements about the kidnaping 0 dozen times, and involved several Persons who were later found to ho ve alibis. Cole said the Federal Bureau of In stigation had taken part in the questioning, but expressed no further interest in the man.

State Elections Board Impressed By Fairness Shown In Vote Hearings Dailv Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel, Raleigh, July 13— One thing stand ing out in bold relief during all the rowing and protesting about primal y frauds and alleged irregularities of all kinds is the disposition of the State Board of Elections to give everybody the fullest opportunity to air his grievances and to argue whatever points he may wish to make. This had been evident before yes terday’s meeting of the board, but it was again emphasized by the Tues day proceedings, which began eaily ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA Hutton Girl Drops Case On Husband Criminal Action Is Abandoned and Di vorce From Danish Nobleman Planned London, July 13.—(AD—The former Barbara Hutton dropped a criminal charge against, her titled Danish hus band today with indications that a separation, or divorce proceedings, would be the next step in her tur bulent married life. The surprise ending of what one of the lawyers called “a most unhappy case” came as her second husband, Count Kurt Haugwitz-Reventlow, re appeared in the Bow Street police court dock and prepared to defend himself against the charge that he had threatened the Amo ican - born Woolworth heiress. ' Solicitors, an nouncing an agreement under which the 42-year-old count promised to stay away from Countess Barbara’s Lon don mansion and not communicate with her, indicated no reconciliation was in prospect. The countess’ counsel indicated to the judge that the “mysterious gen tleman in London, ’ whom the count was accused of threatening to shoot did not come into her life until she had quarrelled with her husband. The countess’ attorney, Sir Pat rick Hastings, hinted that a shift of the marital dispute to Danish courts in telling the magistrate that any separation proceedings would be sub ject to Danish law. Ending of the case disappointed a crowd jamming the tiny court room in the hope of finding out the name of the mysterious “London society gentleman.” HENDERSON, N.

The American airman and his four companions had remained at Yakutsk only two hours, 53 minutes, after completing their 2,177-mile hop from Omsk, western Siberia. Hughes planned to make Yakutsk his last stop in Soviet Russian terri tory. He plotted a course of 2,456 miles for Fairbanks, across the north eastern tip of. Siberia and the Bering Sea. (Four and a half hours after his start from Yakutsk, aviation autho rities in Moscow estimated he had gone 200 miles beyond the Kolyma river, about 850 miles from Yakutsk, and th£t if all went well he should reach Fairbanks about 7 p. m., east ern standard time. Hughes’ course traverses some 7,000 ‘miles of Soviet territory, and before leaving Yakutsk he telegraphed Moscow aviation au thorities his thanks for their coopera tion. From somewhere over the Ber ing Sea, after leaving Soviet terri tory, he was expected to radio a mes sage of farewell to his Russian friends). Leaving Yakutsk just 60 hours, 41 minutes, after their take-off from New York, and with two-thirds of the flight completed, Hughes and his companions were far ahead of the time of the late Wiley Post, who gird led the globe alone in seven days, 18 hours, 49 minutes, in 1933. (Post flew a different course across Siberia, but his take-off from Kha barovsk, about the same distance from New York as Yakutsk, came 113 hours 58 minutes after his New York take off. He had stopped at Khabarovsk twq. hours, 15 minutes. (Reports of good weather were re ceived from points as far as the Ber ing Strait, but rain and fog were re ported on the Alaskan side. Hughes’ flight headquarters at the World Fair headquarters in New York announced receipt of a message sent from the plane at 8:22 a. m., eastern standard time, giving its posi tion as 64 north latitude, 137.05 east longitude, over the Cherski moun tains, or about 300 miles east of Yakutsk. (The message, picked up and re layed by the United States army sig nal Corps station at Seattle, Wash., said the plane was flying at an alti tude of 6,200 feet.)

LABOR BOARD MAN JEERED BV GROUP Weirton Attorney Is Barred from Hearing by NLRB Examiner Smith Steubenville, Ohio, July 13 (AP)—A laughing, jeering throng of approxi mately 3,000 persons milled in front of the Federal building today, flaunting banners attacking the National Labor Board and shouting protests against the expulsion of a Weirton Steel Com pany attorney from the board’s eleven months long hearing against the com pany. A mass parade from the steel mill town of Weirton, W. Va., to Steuben ville was abandoned after the trans fer of the hearing. to Pittsburgh last night, but 200 steel workers came across the Ohio river in buses and automobiles to join several hundred town people. Although’ visibly disappointed by the shift of the hearing, which one leader said “ruined” the plahned dem onstration, thg crowd cheered Armstrong, company attorney barred from the hearing by Examiner E. G. Smith, and shouted lustily as Smith was hanged in effigy from a hotel window. Hoisted to the shoulders of two brawny steel workers on the 3teps of a hotel fa'cing the Federal building, Armstrong cried: “We never would have been able to carry on over there (the Federal building) if it hadn’t been for a fine croV&d —a group of people like you.” The crowd roared as the straw stuffed overall-clad dummy bearing a placard, “Grandstand Smith,” was dropped from a rope from the sec ond floor window of the hotel.

Roosevelt’s Trip Proves Success He Was Seeking; "Breaks’ Coming His Way By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, July 13. — President Roosevelt certainly does get the “breaks” with astonishing persistency Republicans were hopeful that his transcontinental speaking tour would prove disappointing to him. Recall ing that President Wilson had ex ceedingly poor luck with his attempt to influence the immediate post-war congressional primaries and election, they argued that the present White House tenant’s campaign might re sult similarly. Anti-New Deal Democrats, natural ly preferring not to “pur-ged”, also did their best to reason that the cur rent presidential trip would turn out to be a fizzle. There were New Dealers, too, who looked askance upon the expedition. They wished it well, but were afraid it would split the party. A Satisfactory Tour. As a matter of fact, it is develop ing highly satisfactorily to the Pre sident. At least, it appears to be do Q PAGES O TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY KENTUCKY SENATOR CLAIMS PRESIDENT WILL RESIST PLEA Steel Workers at Pueblo, Col., Present Petition „ Asking Candidacy In 1940. NEW DEALERS ARE GLAD IN OKLAHOMA Hail Renomination of Sena tor Thomas as Result of Roosevelt Stumping Tour; Roosevelt’s Daughter and Her Husband Join Party at Salt Lake Washington, July 13.—(AP)—Sen ator Logan, Democrat, Kentucky, pre dicted today a third term petition handed President Roosevelt at Pueblo, Col., yesterday was the fore runner of many similar requests and that Mr. Roosevelt would resist them all. The Pueblo petition said 4,000 steel workers “most urgently request the President to be a candidate to suc ceed himself in 1910.” Such petitions are inspired by Mr. Roosevelt’s “personal popularity and magnetism Logan said, adding: “But I’m sure he will resist. He can’t say so publicly now, because it would lessen his influence within the Democratic party and with Congress." The President’s mother, Mrg. Sarah Delano Roosevelt, said at Portland, Maine, tha she never heard her son mention the possibility of his running for a third term. Meanwhile, stay-at-home associates of the President hailed the apparent renomination of Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, as the first fruit of the chief executive’s nationwide stumping tour.

Former Governor W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, frowned upon by the President as “nationally known as a Republican,” was running third for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi nation. Senator Thomas, seeking renomina tion for a third term, was acclaimed “my old friend” by the President. In his speech here Saturday, Mr. Roose velt made only passing mention of E. W.

For one thing, “F. D. R.” is rec ognized as a corking campaigner, with a relatively weak battery to op pose him. I do not mean to say that he has a monopoly of basic statesman ship, but his “appeal” far outclasses his entire combined opposition. Alf M. Landon, for example, says so. He contends that he can talk more sense than “F. D.”, but owns that he (Continued on Page Five.)
