G ORP CONVENTION
IN CLEVELAND SEEN
Ohio City Favored over Chicago;
Date of Selection Advanced
to Early December.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-(P)-Re-
pubUian leaders are considering
advancing to early in December,
before congress meets, the selection
of the city wher the party's 1932
presidential candidate will be chos-
en
Many bids are in prospect for
the convention but the early spec-
ulation has narrowed the contest
to one between Cleveland and
Chicago. The odds seem to favor
the Ohio city, where Calvin Cool-
idge was nominated in 1924.
Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman
of the Republican national com-
mittee, will call it together to se-
lect the site. He is conferring now
with members of the executive
committee on the date.
Because of his duties in the sen-
ate, the chairman is inclined to
favor the earlier meeting date.
Congress reconvenes Dec. 7.
While there have been reports of
a reorganization of the committee
at the December session, Senator
Fess is ready to carry on as chair-
man until the national convention
in June.

Groesbeck's Friends
Circulate Petitions
LANSING, Oct. 3.-( P)--Petitions,
seeking to place Alex J. Groesbeck
in the field for the Republican
nomination for governor in 1932
are in circulation in Lansing. Ac-
cording to unofficial reports they
have appeared in other counties.
The origin of the petitions is
cloaked in mystery. Close political
and personal friends of Groes-
beck's declared they knew nothing
about them. They were certain
they had not been authorized by

ENGLA9ND MOURNS
DEATH OF LIPTON
World's Finest Loser' Receives
Tribute of Britons; His
Mrs. Cc
-ails to Identify 1
I
Will Awaited.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-(1)-The death
Friday of Sir Thomas Lipton, who
was the "world's finest loser" as a
yachtsman, was mourned today by
Britons from the exclusive confines
of the Royal Yacht squadron to the
slums of his native Glasgow.
As plans for his funeral went for-
ward, there was much speculation
as to the size of his estate and who
would inherit it. He never married
and was the last of his family.
The old rumor that he had set
aside a large sum years ago to be
used in carrying on the assaplts
against the American cup was re-
juvenated but it was too early for
definite information.
The reports were current that
several charitable institutions would
benefit by his will but they appar-
ently were based on remembrances
of his philanthropic disposition and
his gift of nearly 200,000 pounds to
the poor of London on the occasion
of Queen Victoria's jubilee.
He had been a liberal supporter
of charities ever since.
Aitiioug~i he was reputed to be
many times a millionaire, some ob-
servers held that his estate likely
would prove less valuable than pop-
ularly surmised because of his many
gifts and the immense sums spent
! on his line of Shamrock yachts.
Lindbergh Laughs off
Yangtse River Mishap
HANKOW, China, Oct. 3.-(A)-
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh regards
the ducking he and Mrs. Lind-
bergh received with the capsizing
of their monoplane in the flooded
Yangtse river Friday as a minor
,matter.
Departing today with his wife
and the crippled plane aboard the
British aircraft carrier Hermes for
Shanghai, Lindbergh laughed off
questions about the incident.
"The plane was not seriously
damaged," he said. "We expect it
to be a simple matter to repair her
at Shanghai."
Lindbergh made arrangements
to have the plane repaired and
overhauled at Shanghai prepara-
tory to continuation of flights in
the far east and eventually back
to America.
as Slayers of Husband; Doctor and Son Fr
~HIGAN DAILY
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Oct. 3.--
(IP)-Dr. Leslie D. Ritchie and his
son were released from custody here
early today when Mrs. Benjamin P.
Collings failed to identify them asJ
the "pirates" who recently boarded
the Collings yacht on Long Island:
sound, killed her husband and ab-
ducted her.
With an attorney, William L
Kelley, the Stamford, Conn., yachts-
man's widow arrived here at mid-
night from New York to view the
Ritchies, who were arrested two
days before. They went to the jail
after stopping a short time at a
hotel.
Only officers and attorneys were
present when Mrs. Collings con-
fronted the two prisoners. They
stood in a group of twelve men of
similar appearance.
She singled them out readily, but,
she said, it was because she had
previously seen pictures of them. As
Mrs. Collings shook her head nega-
tively, Dr. Ritchie spoke up.
"I am not the man," he said.
"No," Mrs. Collings asserted.
Then William Ritchie, 23-year-
old son of the former veterinarian.
rushed up to Mrs. Collings and
shook her hand emotionally. -
A few minutes after Mrs. Collings
failed to identify the Ritchies, they
were released from custody. They
left the jail with their wives and
the 3-year-old daughter of the
younger man for their home, locat-
ed near a woodyard they operate
on the outskirts of the city.
The wives of the Ritchies, who,
like newspaper men, were barred
from the meeting with Mrs. Col-
ings had anxiously awaited therri
outside the latched door of the
room where the hearing was held.
Attorneys for the Ritchies an-
dnounced Mrs. Collings' failure to
identify them and told what wend
on at the brief meeting..
The Collings party included, be
sides the widow and Kelley, her
attorney, Fred J. Munder, assistant
district attorney of Suffolk county,
and her sister-in-law, Helen Col-
lings.

tury has been uncarthed at Alex-
