OHIO REPUBLICANS IIOI'K
THEIR COMEBACK AT HAND
ST A IK BEEN BEST PROVING
GROUND PARTY VITALLTY
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
REGARDED AS EASY MEAT

S to 3 AGAINST G. O. P.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 15. Here
tn Ohio, the Republicans are crawl
ing out of their holes, sniffing the
air, and trying to recall the sweet but
long-forgotten sensations of victory.
After six years of progressive, obscur
ity, Ohio Republicans hope that their
time has come.
And well tliey might, if any Re
publicans have grounds for hope. In
the first place, Ohio Is the best pos
sible proving ground of the Republi
can party's remaining vitality. It Is
central and representative of the
country, it contains a large farm and
industrial vote. Its Republicanism
una once of the solid, or Warren Q.
Harding type. And It Is one of the
big northern .states the Republicans
must recapture this year If they are
to get somewhere in 1040.
Purti ermore, the local situation,
by oil the rules of the past, should
be propitious to the Republicans'
'hopes. To be sure, the new depres
sion, which first wakened them from
their long coma, has now oeen Inter
dupted by the stock market boom.
But the boom has not yet been re
flected In Colo's business.
Then, with bad times to beat, the
Ohio Democrats are offering the elec
torate a startlngly unappetizing se
lection of candidates. Most celebrat
ed among them Is the slick, devious,
bouncing little tree surgeon, Martin
L. Davey, present governor of the
state. The history of his administra
tion might be written under the
title of "All Baba and the Forty Dav
ey Henchmen." At Columbus the
state capltol swarms with lobbyists
and parasites, all battening richly on
the people's government. The Davey
organization Is drenched with liquor,
and smeared with a road -surfacing
preparation called "hot mix."
Davey, whose use of troops against
the C. I. O. in the little steel strike
has earned him the hatred of the
liberal element In his party. Is run
ning for re-election. He Is given just
better than an even change against
his opponent for the nomination,
State National Committeeman Char
les Sawyer, an able man but no
great vote-getter. The Davey-Sawyei
contest Is tearing the democracy U.
pieces. And if Davey Is nominated,
the Republican gubernatorial candi
date will probably have the support
of tiie C. I. O. leaders, who hate
Davey more than any other politician
in the country. .

TRIUMPHAL RIDE'
UP BROADWAY FOR
GLOBE GIRDLERS
Hughes and Companions
Given Tumultuous Wel
comeMayor Tells Them
City, World Admire Feat
By JOHN FERRIS
NEW YORK, July 16, (API How
ard Hughes and his four globe-circling
companions rode triumphantly
up lower Broadway today, from the
Battery to city hall, In the most
tumultuous heroes' parade New iorx
has held In a decade.
It was like a throwback to the
Halcyon days when Jimmy Walker
was mayor, when Lindbergh first flew
the Atlantic, Ederle conquered the
English channel, Byrd flew across
the North Pole, and the canyons
of the financial district echoed with
cries of greeting to the Intrepid
airmen. ,
City Screams Praise
For seventeen minutes the time
It took the procession, of cars to
reach city hall downtown New York
screamed Its praise for the multi
millionaire Texas sportsman and his
mates and showered the men with
ticker tape, tore up and emptied
from the wlndowa of the world's
greatest skyscrapers telephone books,
old stationery, letters, nowspapera.
Clerks, stenographers, business men,
brokers and bankers, thrilled by
Hughes amazing feat of girdling the
globe In 3 days, 19 hours and 8
minutes, grew sentimental and de
lirious. Five years ago today, some of
them might have remembered, the
town was In something of the same
state ot mind as Wiley Post's Winnie
Mae roared down to a landing at
Floyd Bennett field to hang up a
record of 7 days, IB hours and 49
minutes which stood until Hughes
broke It yesterday.
Tliminands Stare
Only, this new record seemed In
credible. The thousands of men.
women and children. Jammed around
the Battery, Bowling Green and
Broadway' sldowalks, stared at the
tall, thfn Hughes, at his four smil
ing companions, and yelled their
greetings.
Restaurants, crowded during the
lunch hour, emptied magically. Men
and women sat on ledges of build
ings high above the procession. The
storm of ticker tape, fluttering down
ward in long spirals, the shredded
paper, the fluttering flags and oan-
ners and the constant roar of voices
seemed to bewilder the filers at rirst.
Hughes, wearing an oxford gray
suit, a wmte shirt and black tie,
had slept more than 13 hours. Pale
and a little Jumpy he was, never
theless, fresh. He rode In the first
car.
Lieut. Thoma J. Thurlow, TJ. S. A.,
navigator, rode In the front seat
of the second car. The other navi
gator, Harry P. M. Connor, sat with
Ed Lund, flight engineer, and Rich
ard R. Stoddart, on the rear seat.
The wives of Thurlow, Stoddart
and Connor, and Thurlow' boy.
Tommy, 3. rode in tho next car.
Crowds Swarm In
As the party reached the city hall
fresh, crowds came swarming In
from the section around Brooklyn
bridge, the court house district and
from streets and offices block away.
When the fliers and their wives
were seated, Mayor La Guardla, who
had greeted the men Informally yes
terday at Floyd Bennett field, shook
their hand.
The whole city and the world, as
well, was full of admiration for
their feat, he said.
"I watched the progress of your
flight lrom the time you left New
York, and not a word I can say,"
the mayor continued, "can describe
my feelings or the feelings of . our
people of New York. It seem to
me that such a flight a your must
bring the people of the world closer
together In a bond of amity. And
nothing that one man or one group
of men can do by force would mar
that bond. .
From the city ball, the filer, still
escorted by Orover A. Whalen, head
of the world's fair, 1939. were whisk
ed uptown to the Metropolitan club
in rirth avenue,
Streets were Jammed with crowds
shouting greetings to the men and
their wives.
On the way up Fifth avenue
ticker tape and paper fell In showers.
Pedestrians whistled, ' yelled "Atta
boy, Hughes," women shrieked at
him.
