THE CUNTON CHRONICLE,
Mr. Davis Has Not Announced His
Choice For Committee.
New Yorlf» July 15.—Wh^n John W.
Davis, Democratic nominee ior presi-
dent, stepped into his motor car to
night for the thirty mile .drive ^o ftis
country home at Locust' Valley, he
was apparently no nearer a decision
as to the choice of a national chairr
map or the location of the main and
subsidiary. headquarters for the na
tional campaign than he was yester
day morning, when refreshed by a
week-end of rest, he returned to the
city to tackle this first great problem
oT his contest for the presidency.
Two days of decision with party
leaders—days beginning for the nomi
nee at 11 a. m. and ending near mid
night—had failed to bring about a
selection, or at any rate, a selection
that brought acceptance. Me, Davis,
in a brief meeting with newspaper
men tonight, expressed regret that he
could announce no settlement in re
gard to the most important phase of
parly organization.
-He was asked whether, he f*vpr«l
having a national chairman and cam
paign manager or combining the two
offices and replied that even on that
point he was not ready to express
himself.
Dan C. Roper of South Carolina,
Cordell Hull of Tennessee, the pres
ent national chairman, Norman E.
Mack, who has been New York’s na
tional committeeman for twenty-four
years, having just been elected for hUf
seventh term, George White of Ohio,
who directed the Cox campaign, Will
Shaver of West Virginia, and Norman
H. Davis, former under secretary of
state, joined Mr. Davis before lunch
eon and spent most of the day with
kirn.
Mr. Hull, who was reported to have
been offered the chairmanship of the
national committee for the campaign
would add nothing to his statement
of last week when he explained that
he would take an active part in the
•campaign, but^fHobably not in the
capacity of chairman. He said he had
held that office, for three years with
out a dfcy’s vacation and that he
wanted to have ample time Je6 con
duct his campaign for congress.
Mrf Mack would be more satisfac-
tdiry to the supporters of Governor
Smith, said he did not want the job
of campaign manager.

The body of the mother was located
this morning after an all night search

she had drowned. Mrs. Christian was

SEN. ROBINSON
EXPELLED BY CLUB
Arkansan In Fight On Links Some
Jlme Ago With Noted
Surgeon.
• Washington, July 14.—Senator Jos
eph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, Demo
cratic leader of the senate, late today
;was ordered expelled from the ex
clusive Chevy Chase club as the result
of a fracas with James T. Mitchell,
Washington surgeon, on the club golf
course June 9.
A special committee headed by
Alexander Britton, one of the capitol’s
social arbiters, after several hours
sitting, voted Senator Robinson’s ex
pulsion and drew up a resolution set
ting forth the facts in the case. This
will be forwarded to the Arkansas
legislator with a letter apprising him
of the club’s action.
Senator Robinson was playing in a
foursome on the day of the fight with
Dr. Mitchell, his companions being
Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana,
Andrieus Jones of New Mexico, and
John B. Kendrick of Wyoming. One
hole behind the senatorial foursome
came Dr.. Mitchell, nationally known
to trace Mrs. Chifr** * with Col.. Edra^Cli-f
of the* canal. The search continued
throughout the night .and this morn
ing officers who were convinced that’
the wife had met her death in the
water, had the canal drained and lo
cated her body, which they turned
over to relatives, declaring that '’it is
not a case for the coroner.”
It is the belief that the missing
baby went to ita death in the arms of
his mother, who, friends say, has
been despondent lately over her own
ill health and sickness of her chil-

Laurens, July 11.—Upon the initia
tive of a number of young business
and professional men of the city, a
Dial club was temporarily organized
yesterday afternoon at a well attend
ed meeting called for the purpose. B.
Y. Culbertscn, editor of the Laurens-
ville Herald, was chosen as president
of the club, and E. 0. Anderson, well
known business man of the city, is
secretary. Committees, including one
on membership, were appointed by the
chairman. The new club will work
in conjunction with Dial headquarters
in Columbia, it is stated, and one of
the objects c f the club will be the dis
semination cf information relative to
the record of Senator Dial in congress.
It was stated that many ex-service
men of the city have been active in
bringing about the formation of the
Dial organisation, and they are to
have a large part in the conduct of
the club’s work in the city and in the
county. ^
Other Dial clubs, it is understood,
out on the Lsurehs-Greenville road.
Both'men, it is said, jumped from the
car aAd attempted to escape, into the
woods, hut were overtaken by the of
ficers. Two gallons of liquor were in

ing their way odt of the city. The
car has not been attached, hut prob

St. Matthews, July 15.—The second
period of the senatorial campaign got |
away to a lame start here today. All i
four of the candidates were on hand,
but former Governor Cole L. Blease
was the only one of the four to have
anything new.
Mr. Blease claimed to see in the
[where he was placed in a boat and
brought to Conway. A surgeon was
from Mullins and son after
j yung Watts reached Conway he was
operated on in an effort to save his
life, hut in spite of all (hat could he

and Edward Clifford, Jr.
The senators are said to have been
proceeding with slowness,, and ac
cording to testimony before the in
vestigating committee, Dr. Mitohell,
believing one of the foursome’s balls
lost, asked permisaion to drive
through.
It is further stated that this was
accorded, but that 9ro*tor Robinson
strenuously objected, and that he en
gaged In words with Dr. Mitchell,
Which ended by his striking the sur-
geon in the face and knocking Hiin
down. Thereupon the evidence set
forth Senator Walsh, chairman of the
recent Democratic cortvention, took
his fighting colleague in hand, while
Col. Clifford performed a siihilar of
fice-for Dr. Mitchell. The doctor ad
mitted doing a good deal of “cuss
ing” but’ said it was after Robinson
adopted ring tactics.
A few days later Senator Robinson
was suspended for two -weeks by the
Chevy Chase board of governors and
notified ht must show cause at the
end of that period why he should not
be expelled. Being then at the New
York convention, where he' was
groomed as a “dark horse” for the
Democratic nomination for president,
the Arkansan asked a delay of one
week in presenting his case by proxy.
This delay was granted, and the
final hearing and action of the com
mittee occurred today. Meanwhile
the popular Dr; Mitchell has been ex
onerated of blame in the matter.
