McKinney And Dorsey Stay Neutral In Run-of f Race Propose to Cover; Textile Industry Under one Code Peter Van Horn, Chairman Of Silk Code, Startles Capital With Suggestion. WASHINGTON, May 10.—A new and startling proposal was submit ted yesterday to a special cabinet committee studying the cotton tex tile industry by Peter Van Horn, chairman of the silk code authority, who recommended that all branches of the textile industry be brought under a single code.

W. N. Dorsey, who polled 242, is also neutral. Mr. McKinney made the follow ing statement: “Since supporters of both of the ;andldates now running for mayor lave come to me and asked that I :ry to throw my strength to their ;hoice, I feel that I should make he following statement in regard io my position in this run-off race. “i am sure that it would be im lossible for me to swing my vote to uther of the two candidates since he people who voted for me were he kind who know their own minds and like to make up their __ own ninds and cast their votes accord ng to the dictates of their own x>nscience». I am not a politician, jut have learned some of the meth ods that are used to defeat and ;lect candidates to public office. “For the above reasons I expect to remain neutral in this election ind make no attempt to swing my strength to either of the candidates.” Mrs. F.

Senate Legalizes Wine Manufacture After Long Debate Wends Weary Way to Adjournment North Carolina May Export Brandies And Wines To Liquor Selling States. RALEIGH, May 10.—'Hie senate yesterday wended a weary and wet way towards adjournment. Par be hind on its calendar it sat from 10 o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock in the evening, barring a short recess, and then began work again last night at 8.30 o’clock. It joined with the house in legalis ing the manufacture, sale and dis tribution of wines in North Caro lina after previously having killed the Day liquor control bill; passed on second reading the bill which repeals the Turlington act for New Hanover county and also passed on second reading the bill which will permit the manufacture of wines and brandies in Moore county from fruits grown in North Carolina for shipment to and sales in places where these wines are legal. The drys, previously victorious in the senate when it came to shut ting off a referendum on the sale of hard liquors in North Carolina, found themselves helpless before the Coburn bill permitting the sale of naturally fermented wines which passed by a vote of 28-13. The New Hanover and Moore county liquor bills went by the tape with smaller but sure majorities, due largely to the conversion of Senators Johnson of Duplin, and Prink of Brunswick and the retention of its strength voted for the Day bill. Senator New man put his New Hanover liquor law over by 24-22 and confidently asserted that he would be able to muster at least that much major ity for its final passage. Senator Spence had five yotes to spare in getting his Moore county brandy bill by its second reading and also believes that it will pass its third reading. Senator Reynolds Will Re-wed Soon, Says W. Winchell WASHINGTON, May 10.—With gossip columns predicting his re marriage and Senator Elmer Thomas predicting that he will be brought back here to vote on over riding the anticipated veto of the bonus bill, “If needed,” Senator Robert R.

Senator Reynolds will begin , hearings on the conduct of the Vir gin Islands at St. Thomas on Fri day, but Senator Thomas today predicted there would be no trouble < in securing his presence here if i there Is any likelihood that his vote will be a crucial one. Senator Reynolds has not been : in the senate since April 22. He has no standing pair, but has so far been paired with some other absent senator on each roll call vote. Anxious About Others at Age 92 Ninety-two years of age, en feebled of body, and confined for many weeks to his bed, Un cle Dave McBrayer, of Moores boro, the oldest living Confed erate veteran and one of the oldest persons In the county, was clear in mind and spirit today as he expressed thanks for a basket given him by represen tatives of the U.
