Creates Wild Session
NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 13. ( AP)
Recovery policies of President Roose-
volt became such an Issue today In I
the annual convention of the Amerl-!
can Bankers' assocatlon that the as
semblage In a wild session decided to
hold a secret ballot for second vice
president. The second vice-president will be
come president In two years.
The Issue was drawn between sup
porters of E. G. Bennett, Ogden, Utah,
banker, whost name waa reported as
the nominee under the usual pro
cedure of the nominating committee,
and Orval W. Adams, banker of Salt
Lake City, who waa nominated from
the floor In today's stormy session.
The secret ballot was the after
math of sharp criticism of new deal
banking recovery measurea by crltica
of the national administration and
defense and suggestions from Wash
ington officials and new deal sup
porters. Both Bennett and Adams are Re
publicans In politics. Adams In his
address earlier this woek assailed the
banking measures ae "alleged recov-
ery" acts and said they were now
retarding recovery.
Bennett replied that It waa "bunk"
and "absurd" to Inject a national Is
sue Into the bankers convention elec
tion.
The convention refused to accept
the report from the nominating com
mittee In preference to fighting It
out on the floor. "
Thereupon by almost unanimous
vote the convention decided to set
up a voting booth In the Gold room
of the Roosevelt hotel, convention
and open ' balloting on the second
vlce-prcsldency from 3 to 0 p. m.
