Os the seven rescued men aboard,
the five of Vlglieri group are in
rhe best physical condition. They
had plenty of food in their encamp
ment and were in high spirits
aboard the Krassin. Lieutenant
Viglieri, their leader, stated they
had hardly begun to consume the
food dropped from airplanes when
they were rescued.
Captain Mariano, who, With
Captain Zappi, was rescued from a
perilous and exposed haven on an
ice-floe, is in the worst condition of
all seven. Hpwever, he is improving
and is now able to talk coherently.
The Soviet agency ha*, received
by radio an account of the con
troversy among the membets of the
Nobile party which preceded the
ttek across the ice by Malmgren
and his companions, as revealed by
Prof. Behounek. one of the Viglieri
group who was saved by the Kras
sin.
Following the erash of the
Italia’s gondola on the morning of
May 25, Behounek and Nobile were
in favor of the physically able mem

wreckage of the gondola and start
ing out across the ice. Ceccinoni
was the mechanic whoss leg was
broken in the crash.
Noh He’s suggestion was outvoted
by the others. Someone suggested
that the three fittest of the group,
Zappi, Mariano, and Biagi, the radio
operator, seek aid alone, while the
others remained behind with the
injured.
Despite the fact that he was seri
ously injured. Behounek said Malm
gren heroically volunteered to re
place Biagi as one of the three. He
argued that Biagi could render
greater assistance to the gondola
group by remaining behind because
of his knowledge of radio, while he.
Malmgren, was better fitted to lead
the expedition across the ice, be
cause of his knowledge of Arctic
conditions.
There was great opposition to
Malmgren’s venturing across the
ice because of his condition, Beheu
nek said, but finally he was given
his way and left with his two com
panions.

HOOVER TALK
CAMPAIGN
By WHXIAM K. HUTCHINSON
International News Mervlre
CEDAR ISLAND LODGE,
BRULE RIVER, Win., July 16.
Herbert Hoover today went Into
conference, with the man he hopes
to succeed —President Coolidge—to
devise means of winning the 1928
electron.
Hoover traveled 1,000 miles out of
his way, ths last 82 over a dusty
rural highway, for the meeting
with the President at the summer
White House. He will spend today
and tomorrow as the President’s
guest, talking politics, campaign
policies and possibly doing a little
fishing.
Welcomed By Native*
Hoover came here especially to
learn what parts the President
wishes to take in the coming cam
paign. The nominee also planned
to discuss with Mr. Coolidge what
issues shall be stressed in his drive
for the Presidency. The naming of
a successor to Hoover as Secretary
of Commerce also will be settled at
the conference.
The Republican nominee won
quite an ovation from Wisconsin’s
citizenry as he traversed the heart
of Republican insurgency. As the
Hoover train rolled through the
pine-woods country, every enrssroad
held its little gathering of Wiscon
sinites. who cheered the candidate.
An enthusiastic reception and pa
rade through the streets Qf Superior
came at the end of his railroad
trip. Hoover smiled happily through
It all.
Hoover was met at Superior by
Everett Sanders, secretary to the
President, and brought to the Pres
idential lodge in a White House car.
Mrs. Hoover accompanied the nom
inee. A host of newspaper corre
spondents. photographers and Wis
consin political leacTers made Jhe
journey to the .lodge in Hoover s
entourage.
Former Senator Irvine L. Len
root who arranged the reception
in Superior, Gov. Fred R. Zimmer
man and Walter J. Kohler, who
seeks the governorship, headed th®
Wisconsin political group that ac
companied Hoover. Zimmerman
and Kohler, political rivals, but
both regular Republicans, joined
Hoover’s train last night. There
were no followers in
sight.
Hoover will remain as the Presi
dent's guest until tomorrow eve
ning. when he motors to Duluth,
Minn., to reboard his train. Then
he will resume his westward trip,
with s three-hour stop in Omaha,
Neb., tomorrow, en route to Palo
Alto. Calif., for the official notifi
cation ceremony August 11.
Dawes Promises Aid
The Republican nominee joined
the President with a pledge of
active support from Vice President
Charles G. Dawes. Hoover and
Dawes met Sunday In Chicago, the
nominee and his wife spending the
afternoon at the Dawes home In
Evanston. Hoover conferred there
wilh the Vice President for several
hours before coming into Wiscon
sin.
The Hoover-Coolidge conference,
incidentally, was held on enemy
ground, as Wisconsin was the only
State carried by the late' Rober* M.
La Follette against the President in
(he 1924 election.
It was strange territory for their
conference on ways and means to
win the 1928 election.
Predicts Victory
Dawes himself told newspaper
men he would support Hoover
actively.
"I want to co-operate and do all
f can to help Mr. Hoover's election
and in the success of the P.epubli
can party.” said Dawes. “The
■Secretary will have a fine victory
in the election. -1 see every indica
tion of it.” i

the real, truthful story Is yet to
be told.
Mrs. Kennedy told how Mrs. Ken
neth G. Ormiston, wife of the man
accused of having been Mr*. Mc-
Pherson’s companion in the mystery
cottage at Carmel, had come to her,
had claimed that Orrniston and the
evangelist were together in Europe,
and had threatened to name Aimee
as corespondent in her suit for
divorce.
Get Mystery Note
Mrs. Kennedy told of the fear
that goaeip about Angelue Temple
already was linking the names of
Ormiaton and the Evangelist.
She told also, of her hurried cable
gram to Aimee, and her search for
Ormiston in order to hush the
tongue of scandal—a search" that
proved in vain until Onpiaton him
aelf made known his whereabouts.
And she told too, of demands
made by a certain fx»s Angeles
lawyer in a mystery letter delivered
Io her after Aimee had returned
front the Douglas episode.
Mrs. McPherson’s love and rev
erence for the mother, the mother
avers, had changed to a distinctly
hostile attitude following the trip
Mrs. McPherson made to the Holy
Land.
Money Unexplained
Mrs. Kennedy said she believt»d
that Mrs. McPherson nga been dis
posing of large sums of money for
purposes which Mrs. Kennedy says
she cannot understand.
"This.” said Mrs. Kennedy, "Is
her own business, perhaps, as she
is now in full and sole pdssesslon

its funds.
"When I handled the finances
there were 17 different funds, all
monies received being kept in sep
arate accounts. But I understand
now that all monies go into one
fund.”
Thon she went on:
"Why ‘Sister’ wants to mortgage
the temple I cannot understand.

BERLIN, July 16.—Tho intense
heat wave which has been sweep

in the nude—in public.
In Budapest, advices reaching

adherents to the custom. Most
of them, however, .indulge at
night only, although some do hot
hesitate to use this aged method
of cooling off in the daytime also..
Police who attempted to stop a

their birthday 'suits, found a

resented their interference and
demonstrated their resentment by
using teeth and nails.

Two of the questions asked her

"Did you recognixe the clothing in

”1 never saw the contents of the

"Did yon from the newspaper pic

as that of Mrs. McPherson?”
"Well; they certainly were not gar

she laughed. When the question
was repeated, she answered:
