Mir GIVE PRBBST SIX MONTHS STIV If It’s Granted, Prosecutions Will Be Started Against Ones Charged with “Bail roading” Butler. Washington. April 25.—Deportation of August Probst, young Swiss But ler. who charges that his associations with the pretty daughter of a mil lionaire member of the exclusive Roll ing Rock club, near Pittsburgh, re sulted in an effort to “railroad'1 him out of the United States, again was blocked Monday. An indefinite stay of the order of deportation, which was approved Saturday by Assistant Secretary of Labor Henning, was granted by the secretary’s board of review, of the department of labor, after hearing Probst's attorneys, Bernard H. Sand ler and David Stelnhardt of New York. More Thorough Review Necessary. Upon completion of argumepts by the attorneys, the board examined the record of the case as submitted from Ellis Island. It was then an nounced that so many new points had been raised by the examination of the record itself that doubt seemed to be cast on the entire proceedings, making necessary more time for a thorough review of the case. It seems that the order of deporta tion was based on the ground that Probst is an alien who came into the country at a place other than desig nated by law for the entry of Immi grants. Under those circumstances he would take the status of an alien seaman, and therefore, apt to become a public charge. A deportation case on this ground, however, is bailable and subject to review. But the significant discovery in Monday's examination of the record by the secretary’s board of review was a certificate that the young but ler is insane, also a ground for depor tation. This discovery left the board in doubt as to whether the Ellis Is land authorities seek deportation on the ground of insanity or alien sea man. Mr. Sandler stated after the hearing that he was confident of a reversal of the Ellis Island board. To make sure, though,' that criminal action against detectives and others charged with kidnaping Probst and wire tapping should not fail by deportation of the butler, whose' evidence is vital to the charges, application was made to the board for a definite stay of deporta tion for six months. If the stay of six months is grant ed, Mr. Sandler said, bond will be given for Probst’s release, and prose cutions immediately will be started against the parties charged with “railroading” the butler from the Rolling Rock club to New "York and with tapping telephone wires under the guise of federal agents to locate Probst after he escaped in New York. BAKER-M’CORMICK WEDDING OFF AGAIN? Servants Admit None of Mary’s Many Trunks Con tains Wedding Dress. Paris, April 25.—Rumors that the wedding of Mary Landon Baker tc Allister McCormick Is off received a new impetus Monday when servants in the home of Countess de Janze, where Miss Baker has forwarded her baggage, admitted that none of the many trunks brought from Chicago contained a wedding dress. They declared also that none of the traveling cases of the young wo man hold any other of the usual ac cessories of a wedding day outfit. "Perhaps the trousseau was sent direct to England.” said one of the maids. "Miss Baker's wardrobe here certainly does not suggest that she is on the eve of marriage.” Allister McCormick, who is still in Paris, is keeping the long distance telephone busy trying to talk to his fiancee at her retreat at Londiniers, near Dieppe. He declined to com ment on the revelation of the maids at the house of Countess de Janze beyond renewing ills assertion that the wedding probably will be held at Way Bridge In June.

J.— Harding and Lieutenants Mobilize for November. BY BRUCE W McNAMEE Washington. April 25.—The republi can party organization throughout the country Is mobilizing its full strength to win the congressional elections in November. At a meeting of G. O. P. chieftains with President Harding in the White House Monday, it was decided that the campaign will be under the di rect management of the republican national committee, which ordinarily conducts only presidential campaigns. Harding Deeply Concerned. The republican strategists confer ring with the president were Chair man John T. Adams, Treasurer Fred Fpham, of Chicago, and Charles Dew ey Hides, of New York, republican committeeman for that state and one of the president’s closest political friends. They definitely decided that the approaching congressional elec tions will be fought , out under the personal supervision of the most able party leaders. In half a dozen states senatorial races of the first Importance to both parties will feature a campaign which is expected to indicate which way the political winds will blow in 1924. That it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the November elec tions is the opinion of President Hard ing and his political advisers. If a majority of republican candidates go over to victory, return of the party in 1924 is practically assured, they be lieve. But if the voters repudiate some of the party pets it will indicate a change In popular opinion that will have the most discouraging effect to republican morale, How About Indiana? President Harding is said to have sounded out his political chieftains Monday on the question of immediate concern to him—whether Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, can be pulled through in his state. Senator New, probably the president's clos est political friend, and exemplar of the Harding policies, is facing the strongest possible opposition for the nomination from former Senator Al bert J. Beveridge. If New wins out the president will feel that his poli cies have been vindicated to the vot ers and it will be a good omen all around. Whether or not Senator William M. Calder, of New York, will be return ed to congress, is another point of immediate concern discussed in the White House Monday. Republican leaders are figuring that the demo crats have more than one choice among available candidates who could give Calder the closest kind of a run. Pomerene Firmly Entrenched. Ohio presents another Interesting contest, with either Rep. Simeon D. Fess or Walter Brown, of Toledo, on the republican ticket to defeat Senator Atlee Pomerene, democrat, who is firmly entrenched. Indiana, New York and Ohio then are the pivotal states to be fought for by the party in power. In California, Senator Hiram Johnson is practically conceded re-elected, as is Senator Porter McCumber in North Dakota. II, 1 I I < , • C T.. J. _TIT Craig, of Los Angeles, contesting the primaries with Johnson is giving some concern to republican leaders but they figure on Senator Johnson's personal popularity to carry him through with flying colors, even if former Senator James N. Phelan is the democratic choice. President Harding expressed inti mate interest in the New Jersey sen atorial race where his warm personal friend, Joseph 8. Frelinghuysen is up for re-election. If former Gov. Edward 1 Edwards is the democratic choice to oppose Frelinghuysen a nose to nose race is In prospect for Freling huysen is running on a "dry” platform which is said to be none too popular with the voters. As one of the coun try's leading “wets" Governor Ed wards is banked on to pile up a vote that may push Frelinghuysen out of the Senate. This probably will be one at the most interesting of all the con gressional contests with the decision offering a pretty good idea of how the voters feel after four years of prohi bition. HOTEL OWNER TESTIFIES AGAINST ARTHUR BURCH Los Angeles, April 25.—Thomas W. Haley, Los Angelos hotel proprietor whose detective work first led police luthorlties to connect Arthur C. Burch with the murder of J. Pulton Kennedy last August, testified against Burch Monday afternoon in his re trial on the murder charge. During a grilling cross examination Paul \V. Schenck, chief defense coun sel, asked why he should go immedi ately to Burch's room on a hunt for ividence to connect him with the irime when Burch had never talked of Kennedy. Haley replied that he was merely suspicious of Burch. During the morning session more telegrams and letters portraying the irdent love that existed between Mrs. Dbenchain and young Kennedy were read.
