(By Associated Press.)
New Orleans, Oct. 18. —To the tnneg
that sent them from the training
camps to embarkation points and for
eign battlefields, members of the
American Legion, 40,000 strong,
marched the streets of New Orleans
today.
For one afternoon fhe activities of
convention were centered ' ! on
one point—the widely scattered dele
gates and visitors brought together
in a common purpose. From the
streets and hotels, where mirth has
prevailed, from the convention hall,
from committee rooms and state
headquarters, where politics and
/policies are being discussed through
th e midnight hours, came the visit
ing host to impress the living by
their unity and honor the dead on
the field of battle.
Hardly less important among the
events of the week was the morn
ing session at the Gii'od street as
sembly hall, where policies fresh from
committee rooms were thrown in the
hopper. ,
The receptio n accorded by th e dele
gates to committee reports is expect
ed to have considerable bearing on
the contest for national officers.
Many large and influential state del
egations are “on the fence,” it is
learned, waiting to se e what develops.
They have no candidates and are not
proposing any trades.
Tile “bonus” convictions of as
pirants for the honor of national
cvommander are subject to consider
able scrutiny by many of the dele
gates, it is reported.
The annual parade of th e Amer
ican Legion started at 2 p. m. Places
were accorded .state delegations in
the older determined by their mem
bership increase during the past year.
Major Allison Owens, of New Or
leans was-marshal of the day. Lead
ing the parade was the “guard of
honor,” comprising four men each
from, the navy, army, marine corps
and National Guard.
At the stand i n front of
the city hall the parade halted while
the reviewing offiovei's and distin
guished guests of the legion took their
places j„ the stand. Passing the
stand in front of the custom house,
in Canal street, the marchers honor
ed their dead, commemorated by the
monument. Bands silenced anil the
dead was saluted.
Kenesaw M. Landis, supreme base
ball commissioner, was speaker at the
morning session of the legion, in
convention hall. On the program
also wa s Gen. Eli K. Cole, represent
ing Maj. Gen. John L. Lejuene, who
has: bee n unable to attend the con
vention because of illess in his fam
ily.
Major J. B. B. Cohen, representa
tive of the British Legion was a dis
tinguished guest at the session. Maj
or Cohen lost both legs at th e third
battle of Ypres, and is totally dis
abled. He has been treasurer of
the British Legion in the past five
years, is a member of parliament and
devotes most of his time to the solv
ing of problems, of the exservice men.
Among the committee reports that
are expected are those on military af
fairs, constitution, internal organiza
tion, naval affairs and finance.
The American Legion Auxiliary!
held a brief business session during
the morning, when reports of depart
ments and committees were heard. 1
Adjournment was taken at noo„ when
the .memberg marched in a hody to a
reserved gt-jand stand and viewed the
legion parade.

SMALL VOTE FOR
HARDWICK HERE !
WAS SURPRISE
!
In Enlire County He Received
Only 87 While Judge j
George Polled 402
Managers of the primary of Tues
day, from all the county precincts
with the exception of the 27th, dis
trict, which is the Fancy Bluff voting
place, reported to the Glynn. County
Democratic Executive Committee yes
terday and, with the vote in Bruns
wik, candidates received a total as
follows: For United ,States senator,
George 402, Hardwick, 87; Wright,
37; Cooper, 5.
For pension commissioner, Stone
lead with 343 and others were as fol
lows: McGregor 119; Clark, 51;
Butts, 9, and Dent, 7. The great sur
prise of the election here was the
small vote received by Governor
Hardwick as even those strongly op
posed to him wer e of the opinion that
he would receive at least 150 and an
other feature in connection with the
Governor’s vote here is the fact that
practically all the women voted
aga : ns t him, which shows that the
editorial in The News several days,:
ago in which the opinion was ex
pressed that the appointment of Mrs.
Felto n would lose votes for him rather
than increasing the number among
the women of the state.
A noticeable feature of the primary
was the absence cf clerks who have
been serving years and years o n a
pay basis, but who did not prove to
be “Johnny on the spot” on this oc
casion as no fund was provided for
compensation, but to those who did
give their services the Democratic
Executive Committee is extremely
grateful.

COMMITTEE WILL ;
TAKE UP CONTEST
OF ME BUTTS
Hearing Set For Tomorrow!
Morning Before State Ex*
ecutive Committee.
MAY BE REFERRED TO
SPECIAL SUBCOMMITTEE
Judge Butts Received a Letter
From Chairman Maddox Last
Night Advising That His Pro
test Would Come up
Judge E. C. Butt s received a lat
ter last night from Chairman Mad
dox, of the Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee, in which he stat
ed that the contest filed by Judge
Butts would be take n up it a meal
ing of the committee to be held in
Atlanta tomorrow morning at 10
o’clock. Accompanied by Hon. Mil
lard Reese Judge Butts will leave far
Atlanta tonight.
The letter from Chairman Maddox
merely stated that the committee was
acting under a resolution passed by
the convention held in Macon early
this month, whe n the contest was
referred to the executive committee
with power to act. He stated fur
ther that at the meeting tomorrow
it would b decided whether the con
test was to be handled by th e com
mittee as a whole or referrd to a
subcommittee, which could make an
investigation and submit its report
later, probably at the meeting of the
state convention to be held in Ma
con next week.
The letter received by Judge Butts
was also sent to Judge J. P. High
smith, at Baxley, and it is expected!
that lie and hi s attorneys will also!
be present at the meeting tomorrow.
Just what action will be take n by
the committee cannot, of course, be
forecast. The. opinion prevails,-
however, that the contest will be re
ferred to a sub-committee, whose duty i
it w'll be to thoroughly investigate 1
th e charges preferred by Judge Butts i
and report later to the general execu-l
tive committee. In the event th e con
test is decided in Judge Butts’ favor
it mcan s that his charges will be sus-;
tained an< that many people in Ap
nling county who were not register
ed were permitted, to vote in the!
primary, and therefore their votes
should be thrown out. If this is done ' 1
of course Judge Butts will be de-1
dared the nominee and his name will!
appear on the Democratic to be j
voted in the general lction next
month.

SHIP’S SEIZURE
Canadian Schooner Emerald
Taken in by American
Prohibition Men
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 18.—Seizure of|
the Canadian schooner Emerald out
side of the three nvle limit a few!
days ago. the cause being an alWged I
liquor cargo, was made the grounds
for protest from the British govern
ment loday. The contention made by
Great Britain is that the vessel was
out of the limit and outside of Amer
ican jurisdiction.
Federal prohibition officers contend
that the ship was in communication
with shore and therefore fell under
the new liquor ruling. No comment
was made bv either side today other
than the formal protest made.
