‘San Francisco, june 24—Murphy is
the center of specuiution on the sub
ject of prohibition. The declaration
of the New York State convention fov
a repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and widely circulated reports, of the
pz'ftching of the anti-bone dry plan at.
French Lick, helped to bolster the im
pression among many delgates that
Tsramany would lead in an effort to
write such a plank into the platform.
Many of the party leaders, including
National Chairman Qummings, reiter
ated the confidence that no other plat
form plank would lead to a fight on
the convention floor.
A suggestion that Cummings, who
will be the temporary chairman, be
continued as the presiding officer was
put forward today as a means oi
shortening the convention proceed

Sty
Wasington—Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Frierson has advised Gov. Rob
erts of Tennessee, that the legislaturc
of that state could ratify the Suffrage
amendment, without submijtting the
issue to the people. Frierson’s opin
ion, given orally and in writing, hoth
to the governor and, the Attorney Gen
cral of Tennecssee was based largely
on a decision of the Federal Supreme
Court in the Ohio referendum case
In that case the court held that rati
fication of amendments could be had
only by the legislatures of (:on'vention.s
of the state, and that the pruvisiohh
of state constitutions that ratifications
be referred to a vote of people con
flicted with the Federal constitution.
