Aa A AA 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.

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.
