BE FILED IN
TWO OFFICES

teals in Hidalgo county's July pri-
mary will be filed here Monday
afternoon m Judge Bryce Fergu-

* aid learned Monday noon.
Both to File
D. C. Hogan who lost the right to
. enter a run-off by only two score
votes in the first primary stated his
petition would be filed late Mon-
day. R. J Mauldin of Donna who
ran third in the sheriff’s race said
his contest suit would be filed in
the same court late Monday also.
Prank B Freeland beaten in the
July primary for re-election as
assessor-collector by Jeff Oliver
said he would file a contest also
but would not do so immediately.
He lost by about 200 votes. There
were only two candidates for this
office.
These proposed contests result
from wide-spread charges of irreg-
ularities in absentee balloting from
July 8 to July 25. As the result o!
a court of inquiry held a week fol-
lowing the primary charges have
been filed against eight persons.
Ramires Fades Out

charged is Rafael Ramirez. Jr.

ed a week ago the day before the
inquiry opened Chief Dep Sheritf
E F. Copeland sought him unsuc-
cessfully throughout the past week
in Monterrey. Mexico. Copeland re-
turned Sunday night after Ramirez
eluded him in the Mexican city.
Ramirez faces 36 charges con-
cerning alleged irregularities in
absentee voting. He was handling
absentee balloting in the capacity of
deputy county clerk but also ac-
cepted affidavits of certain voters
in his capacity as notary public.

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. Aug 6—UP>— Wall
; Street began the new week with
j little enthusiasm for anything save
the grain markets.
Stocks absorbed a flurry of sell-
I ing in the first hour which depres-
sed a number of leaders 1 to 4
i points some to new lows for the
I year but prices later recovered par-
I tially as bullishness cropped out In
some of the gold and silver issues.
The rise in wheat carried the May
delivery above $1.23. a new high
for the season Other grams also
showed pronounced strength and
rubber and cotton were firm. Bonds
were somewhat soft along wiUi
stocks.
An early drop of about 4 points
in Union Pacific and 2 In Santa Fc
and U. S. Steel earned those issues
to new lows for 1934. Recoveries of
a point or so from the worst fol-
lowed. in dull trading. American
Telephone. Western Union Mont-
gomery Ward Johns Manville and
DuPont were off around 2 points
at the worst and General Motors
and Chrysler dipped about a point.
A midday rise in the non-ferrous
metals carried U. S Smelling up a
couple of points above Saturday's
close and McIntyre and Dome ad-
vanced more than a point. Ameri-
can Smelting more than recovered
an early sag of a point.
Wall Street's attention was divid-
ed between the utterances of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and estimates as to
the probable efiects of the drought.
Buying of the gold and silver
stocks appeared to be based upon
some expectation m speculative
; quartet'' that an inflationary needle
would have to be applied to give
renewed stimulus but Wall Street
was by no means wholly in agree-
ment with that prophecy. It was
pointed out in some quarters that
the drought seemed likely to have
given as much upward stimulus to
larrn prices as the administration
would care to see for the time be-
ing. and that any further rise re-
sulting from inflation might work
real hardship upon the worker.
The manner in which the market
was able to absorb the week end
flurry of selling which appeared at
the opening was regarded as en-
couraging by .some analysis who
pointed out that the list as a whole
had not broken the resistance levels
touched in the sharp slump of late
July and that if it failed to do so.
it might be a sign indicating a
J resumption of the advance.

BEGINS OVER
COPSCONTROL
NEW ORLEANS. Aug 6.—<JF»~
City and state officials who have
arrayed opposing armed forces
against each other for a week. Mon-
day took their dispute to a civil
district court room with Mayor T.
Semmes Walmsley’s authority over
the New Orleans police at stake.
There. Judge Nat W. Bond op-
ened hearing on a city suit to en-
join the functioning of a new city
!>olice board provided for in a bill
pushed through the legislature by
Sen. Huey P. Long.
Bill Attacked
The bill providing for taking the
police authority away lrom the
mayor through creation of a special
police board named by local civic
organizations was described by the
Walmsley faction as •‘reprisal’ lor
defeat of Huey Long candidates by
Walmsley men in the last city elec-
tion. It was attacked in court on
grounds of unconstitutionality the
city claiming irregularities marked
its passage in the legislature.
The new board was scheduled to
take office last Wednesday but was
restrained from so doing by the
city's injunction suit under which
the district court issued a temporary
restrainer pending Monday's hear-
ing.
Mayor Walmsley. who filed the
action appeared in court flanked
by city attorneys to press the litiga-
tion.
Sen Long his bitter antagonist
had temporarily dropped out of
sight after visiting for several days
in the executive mansion at Baton
Rouge.
George Wallace and James O Con-
ner. both assistant Louisiana at-
tomeys-general appeared to defend
the legislative act.

chine guns into the national guard

submachine guns in city hall and 1
announced they were ready for any
emergency
