Many Leaders Still Absent The convention will be in full blast a week hence, but at this stage of the preliminaries many of the men who will play a big hand in the selection of the nominee are not yet on the •cene. „ , Lowden is still to come Curtis of Kansas is an absentee. Mellon, the man who has not yet fully shown his hand, won t be here until Sunday. Leaders of the so-called farm revolt are just beginning to show up. Until the whole picture is complete, and some of the big uninstructed dele gations reach the convention city, hold their caucuses and chart their course, the final word cannot be written, and men then, many party leaders point oat that no national convention is bombproof against then umerous un certainties which crop up at any time tr political maneuvering*. One of these is considered in some quarters as apt to come to a head as • result of the disappointment expressed hi the corn belt over President Coolidge's veto of the McNary-Haugen farm bill. The farm leaders have served notice that they will be on hand to press their claims, but so far there has been little concrete evidence of their program get ting under way. The bulk of the men who will direct the farm attack are expected before the end of the week. No one in the Hoover camp, where there has been ac tivity for days, professes to be worried ©rrr the outlook. James W. Good, the Hoover campaign generalissimo, in a statement made public today, said that national committee decisions seating Hoover delegates from Florida, Louisi ana and Mississippi, “will, of course, dis appoint any one who hoped that Mr. Hoover could be robbed of a block of Southern delegates.** Good See* Saccew. -The ruling of the national commit tee.” Good declared, “not only assure* the nomination of Mr. Hoover, but ad vances the cause of Republicanism throughout the country ” The success of the Hoover followers in the committee hearings, which may concluded before nightfall, has brought charges from some of their foes of steam roller tactics, a suggestion that bring* equally vehement disclaimers in re*um. One of the party wheel horses who has been doing all he can to keep del es ate:. irom Hoover is Charles D. HiJles of New York, who prefers Coolidge and to definitely aet against the Commerce Secretary. One of the results of the committee votes taken yesterday was to keep Perry Howard negro national committeeman, lr the saddle in Mississippi Howard, whose d*.'"gallon is instructed for Hoo v* r, got the decision by acclamation.

SOROPTIMISTS STUDY WOMEN IN BUSINESS * Harmony Established at Conven tion as Committee Seeks New Constitution. With harmony established between ! rival factions, delegates to the annual convention of the International Federa tion of Soroptimist dubs today settled down to a quiet discussion of women in business and between sessions called on President Coolidge at the White House. Late this afternoon they planned a sightseeing expedition and to have ■ their pictures taken on the steps of the Capitol. Led by its international president, Mrs. Mary Dry Boldemann of California, the convention proceeded to theTWhite House at 12:30 and received the official welcome of Mr. Coolidge. The chief point of dissension of the convention has been the matter of < drawing up a new constitution. A rom | mittee elected yesterday was working ion the new constitution in a private ’! session today and the general meeting t proceeded in a well ordered fashion. J ate this afternoon the convention : is expected to vote on a place for its next meeting. In 1930. Kansas City. ~ Mo., seemed to have the convention cor i nered. ’ I Six speakers, three from she United I I States and three from Great Britain, ! spoke on the effect of women in bus!- , nesa today. Mrs. Mabel Eichel of New York, in a paper read before the meet , ing, urged universal entrance of women Into business as a means of solving the divorce problem. She blamed close quarters and small incomes for most di vorces, insisting that both factors would be eliminated if wives contributed to the family income Miss Florence Gardner, president of the San Francisco Club, declared that women had cleaned up politics where they had entered this field, but said most business women were too busy to bother with it. Women, she said, have contributed to the simplification of dress, etiquette and appearance. By leveling wages woman has in ; creased the average purchasing power, Mrs Mayme V. Matthay. president of ifhe Los Angeles Club, said in a paper on women's effect on economica. She quoted Prof D J Pilcher of the Uni j versify of Southern California, a for* i mer Washington man, who said that women have become a permanent economic factor whose ability at this ; time can only be approximated The British viewpoint was given by !

Ry (he A**OflatC«l Pros*. j The legality of the two Senate com- i i mittee meetings at. which Robert W > i Stewart, chairman of the board of the j Standard OH Co. of Indiana, refused I to answer questions, was challenged by 1 defense counsel today, in the trial of j the oil man on charges growing out of his refusal. The argument came up on a motion of United States Attorney Ijeo A Rover to strike out testimony of Edward J Bullock, vice president of the Indiana I company, and several other witnesses I relative to the Senators present when Stewart’s refusals occurred. Say No Quorum Existed. Justice Siddons had earlier granted motions by the prosecution to strike j out flip testimony which had been given j regarding the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy > mistrial, on the ground that it was! immaterial. Frank J. Hogan, defense counsel, con tended that the absence of a quorum at the February 2 and 3 meetings of the Senate public lands committee, when Stewart declined to answer inquiries which concerned the Continental Trad ing Co, made those sessions irregular and hence the oil man could not be held legally accountable for his action The lawyer cited legal precedents, and insisted that the testimony opposed by the Government should b- retained. He recalled that the disputed testt j mony showed the Senate public lands ! committee to number 15 members, and i that, only three were present w hen ; j Stewart refused to answer. Quorum Declared Presumed. Rover replied.to Hogan’s argument 5 with a reminder to the court that a j I quorum was always presumed to be i present, in the Senate , and its com-1 mittees. unless the absence of a quorum j has been suggested. He also recalled; that in Stewart's petition for habeas j corpus and his testimony he had said ] that he refused to answer questions of th- “committee." In winding up his argument, Hogan had denied that Stewart appeared be fore “a committee in fact," contending i ihat eight Senators had to be present | to constitute a "committee.’’ j The Jury had been excluded from the : courtroom during th- arguments, and ! Justice Siddons excused the Jurors for the day. as Rover got under way. The i court said hr wanted to take the issue ! raised by the defense under considers- I tion. and intimated that he would not ; make a ruling before tomorrow Question of Pertinency Arises. Stewart is accused of violating a sec i tion of the criminal code making It j mandatory that witnesses before a con gressional committee answer questions ■ pertinent »o the subject of the hearing. ; Justice Frederick L. Siddons. who is 1 presiding, said (it the outset of th- trial ! that he probably would be called upon ; to rule on the pertinency of the ques tions before the case could go to the, 5 Jury’- Stewart took the stand in his own ■ defense yesterday and described freely, i and. with one exception, amiably the A circumstances surrounding his defiance A of the Senate committee.
