Mayfield know of any expenses of his campaign be ing paid by the Ku KIux Klan V and "Did Earle B. Mayfield, Ben C. Rich ards. Jr. (Mayfield's attorney) or D E. Lyday keep and preserve reports of allt moneys received and paid out by them in the campaign?" and "Did the total campaign expenses exceed $100,000?" NEW ORLEANS. La.. Oct. 24. George B. Peddy, Houston lawyer, lost his fight before a federal tribunal here yesterday to force Texas election officers to place his name on the No vember ballot as a United States sen atorial candidate against Earle B. Mayflied, Democratic nominee and al leged Ku Klux Klan candidate. The three judges composing the tribunal to hear the case on transfer from the federal court at Mobile, Ala., ruled they were without jurisdiction, that being the only point considered. Cite Harding Letter In presenting their case, attorneys representing the Peddy faction read a telegram from R. B. Creager, Texas Republican leader, stating that he had received a letter from President Hard ing in which the chief executive had commended the Republicans of Texas for "aiding independent Democrats in coalition against all groupings and classes attendant upon dictation con trary to American ideals." They declared that Mayfield was not the candidate of. the Democratic party of Texas, but of a faction mas querading under the guise of the party. They read an affidavit signed by Col. R. Johnson, former editor of the Houston Post, charging that Mayfield is not a Democrat, does not represent the Democratic party and any Demo crat has the right to vote for Peddy, as Mayfield was not nominated as a Democrat HARDING NOT TO ASK SAWYER TO RESIGN WASHINGTON, D.

Sawyer was chairman was a vol untary creation of the president and as such, the president alone was re sponsible. The president it was said, t'xpect- ed to bring the hospitalization board into closer co-operation with the agen cies of the government, having to do with the treatment of disabled former service men, and in doing so, expects to do more than justify its creation.
