O. P. Candidate in Face, of Challenge by Brown Philadelphia, July 23 Mayor Harry A.

Mackey and his friends in the local Republican organization have recognized Gilford Pinchot a the Republican nominee for Gov ernor, despite the action of the faction supporting Francis Shunk Brown In challenging the former Governor's nomination on tha grounds of alleged Illegal ballots In Luzerne County. Mr. Pinchot was the guest of honor at the "Port of Pennsylvania-Pan-American" dinner given by Mr. Mackey at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel last night In introducing him, the Mayor referred to Pinchot as "the man who recently was nominated by the Republicans as Governor of Pennsylvania," and a moment later Richard Wegleln, Director of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, and an Influential factor in the Republican organization, addressed Pinchot as "Governor." Mayor Mackey's stand considered Important In view of tha Luzerne ballot case, argument on which is to be heard by the State Supreme Court on Aug. 19.

On the face of the returns from the May primary Pinchot defeated Francis Shunk Brown by approximately 20,000 votes. Supporters of Brown claim that paper ballots cast in Luzerne County, where Pinchot had a plurality of about 26,000, were unlawful becase of perforations. Should the Supreme Court uphold this contention, Brown would be the nominet by a plurality of 6.000. As a precautionary measure Mr. Pinchot plans to pre-empt a party name and run Independently in the event of an adverse decision by the court.

PILAT A fortune In solid mahogany Is being unloaded today from the Booth liner Polycarp, just docked at the foot of 33d St.

efter a record trip from Iquitos, which is 2,000 miles up the Amazon River, almost at the base of the Andes Mountains. A sense of the jungle luxuriance of the interior of South America can be gotten from looking at the huge logs as they are loosened from their lashings on deck and swung by booms free in the air. One of the first "sticks" of mahogany unloaded, 66 Inches In diameter, weighed 16 tons. Two Indians lost their lives while loading the logs aboard at Nanay, near Iquitos, according to Capt. Andrew Elliott, who has been at sea for 30 years.

One was by snake bite, the other was by puncture from an insect considered by the captain the most dangerous in the world. Jararacas are small brown snakes, deadly uslsenous, which often lie along the sides of floating logs, the skipper explained. Indians witn long hook poles step with remark' able agility from one log to another to superintend placing of a chain on the log selected for lifting, Sometimes this stirs the snake to striking. This happened at Nanay on the present trip. To explain the other death, by puncture of the chicerra macha-cury, Captain Elliott took his visitor to his cabin and produced a glass vial filled with a solid ob ject in a liquid.

"There is a chicerra machacury," he said, with some pride. "I caught him alive, then pickled him in cachaca, a sort of Brazilian sugar whisky which makes those who drink it go mad. On the trip before this one of the sailors stole a pickle bottle to drink the whisky, so kept this out of sight this trip. "If you look close you will see the insect's alligator head. It flies vertically, with its spike head horizontal, and a touch of the spike kills instantly, whether it be animal, human or even a tree.

I caught this specimen when it was dazed from the heat of the strong arc liffhts we used for night loading at Nanay. Captain Elliott explained that seagoing ships do not customarily get beyond Manaos, which is only 900 miles up the Amazon, but that the Polycarp, by virtue of her un usually light draft of 15 feet, can bo up to Iquitos, using caution. The Polycarp has a gross tonnage of 8,500, and on the present trip has brought up slightly more than 1.000 mahogany logs in addition to rub' ber, Brazil nuts and other tropical products. In all his wanderings about the globe his home is in Liverpool, in. cidentally Captain Elliott has only stayed ashore for one 10-year period, and then it was as marine superintendent of the Booth Line far up the Amazon.

Consequently, he is a walking encyclopedia of Jungle knowledge, and his collec tion of insects would make many a professional entomologist green with envy. Of Indian tribes he is an authority. He can tell you of the Parentintins, an untamed tribe which smear themselves with clay rouge; the Yaguas, who excel in making palm fibre hammocks and a tremendously powerful drink from the poisonous root, manioca, and the Chamas, moon worshipers, who believe thev are transferred into animals at death and who do all their courting by combat.

One of the women was arrested and the other two are to answer summonses. The woman arrested is Mrs. Jennie Friedman, 42, of 1942 72d St. Beach guards, who called a policeman, alleged that she kicked over a large grocery box in which they had deposited rubbish laboriously collected from the beach, sat upon the box and refused to budge. It took the combined efforts of five men to get her Into a cell, according to the police.

Those who were served with summonses are Mrs. Bertha Wlgeler, 39, of 2986 W. 30th St. and Mrs. Sadie Cramer, 44, of the same address.

They are alleged to have thrown broken milk bottles on the beach at the foot of W. 13th St. Nation's Population Put at 122,957,000 Washington, July 24 (JP) When the Census Bureau totals up the population of the nation for 1930, a figure somewhat less than 000 is expected to be the result.

Hoover Relief Idahoan Plans Foray in Western States Sugar Aid Planned Washington, July 23 (JP) The voice of Senator Borah of Idaho, which played a leading part in the Hoover Presidential race, is being pitched for new campaign efforts. But unlike in 1928 Senator Borah is preparing to campaign in the agricultural belt of the Northwest next fall in opposition to the Hoover farm relief and tariff revision programs. The Idaho Senator said today he had been requested to make speeches in the Northwest States and added he was seriously considering acceptance. However, he must first take the rest which has been commanded by physicians. That rest probably will be for two months and will be taken in Idaho, If doctors approve.

Borah was one of the leaders of the band of Western Republican Independents who fought for the export debenture principle of farm relief opposed by President Hoover. This same band also sought unsuccessfully to confine tariff revision to agricultural products alone. The Idahoan is prepared to defend these contentions of the Republican Independents. Several of the group are up for re-election this year and Borah himself is a candidate. He is ready to take the stump to contend that the farm problem will not be settled until the program of the In dependents is adopted.

It is unlikely that Borah will get Into action before mid-September or October, "here is no itinerary for his speakit, -v and none will be made until he -letes the pe riod of rest he has been directed to take. Considerable interest attaches to the prospective Borah tour In the Northwest among party leaders at the capital. Some are pondering on the effect It will have in the Presidential race two years hence. Meanwhile President Hoover Is preparing to cross this same agri cultural territory this summer. However, the Presidential trip, it is expected, will be confined to sightseeing alone, and so far he has no plans for any speeches.

While the capital today was digesting the Borah Intentions a statement was made by the Hoover Farm Board that the marketing act may now be extended to suger beet and sugar cane growers. These products had been designated as "commodities" within the act. Invitations have been sent to representatives in the 17 sugar-beet-producing States to meet in Greely, Aug. 2, to develop a national co-operative marketing program. Selection of representatives to the meeting will be made by the organized co-operatives in the sugar-beet-producing regions.

It was explained by the Farm Board that cane producers are not now generally organized into co operatives. Representatives of the industry, however, It was added, would be called In to confer on any steps taken to deal with the commodity. TO DEPORT CONVICT Ossining, N.

Department of Immigration, by Warden Lawes yesterday for deportation to Italy, the poisons they produce. We seek to learn whether cancer cells pro duce poisons or, equally Important, to know for certain that they do not. If we find such a poison, then we wish to know whether it acts the same after it has been produced under artificial conditions. If It differs, this discrepancy again is a point for attack on the cancer mystery. "We know that some human cancers are helped by X-rays.

We have also some evidence that X-rays kill rapidly growing normal cells about as fast as cancer cells. We suspect that the benefits of the X-ray are due to rapid growth of cancer cells, a production rate that causes more of them to be killed by the X-rays. It is important to find out definitely the reasons for X-ray effects. Not Yet Applied to Humans "Cancer serum can be made that will seemingly cure a cancer on a rat's leg, but the leg has to be ligatured to retain the serum. So thus far there is no apparent method of making such a serum useful for human beings.

Raising the cells artificially will assist in the study of this serum field." Dr. Wood plans to visit the insti tute of Curie In Paris and cancer research Institutions in England. He will also make contacts in the Interest of the newly established radiological research Institution, an American organization, and for the Institute of Health created by act of Congress. It Site of the Bossert in the Co-0perative Plan Best for Farmer, Kiwanis Club Told Would Create Market for Manufacturers, Says Head of Dairy League Declaring that the low buying power of farmers, which he said has been steadily decreasing since the war, is one reason for present business depression, Fred Sexauer, president of the Dairymen's League of New York State, urged yesterday that American business men sup. port co-operative marketing for farmers as a means of creating new outlets for manufactured products.

Speaking before the regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Brooklyn Kiwanis Club at the Hotel Leverich Towers, Mr. Sexauer said that this policy would prove sounder than the cultivation of foreign markets, which he said were "subject to the vicissitudes of prejudice and retaliation and less accessible than home markets." "The American farmer wants to purchase modern commodities-radios, electrical refrigerators, bathtubs, better clothes and so on," Mr. Sexauer said, "but he hasn't found himself financially able to do so. Farmers will make up a good prospective market once given the purchasing power." In discussing the dairy farmer the speaker said: "When the price of milk Is low production falls of! accordingly. The city has to go further afield for Its milk supply and pay increased retail prices because of transportation costs.

The individual farmer devoting his time to production cannot give much time to a consideration of selling. Here is where co-operative marketing come in. We should have prices for products that will maintain a good level of production. If cooperative marketing can secure such prices it will prove of real value to the whole Nation." Mormons of Palmyra To Mark Centennial Palmyra, N.Y., July 23 WP) This village will be the scene tomorrow of the centennial of the First Mormon Church.

Two New Routes Urged as Part of Highway Project One Would Have Same Terminals Provided in Hesterberg Harvey Plan While expressing approval of tha plans of Borough President Henry Hesterberg of Brooklyn and Borough President George U. Harvey of Queens for a seven-mile express highway, George B.

Ford, general director of the Regional Planning Assoclat on, said today that two more routes will have to be added to the highway project before tha traffic needs of the two boroughs will be completely satisfied. Mr. Ford suggests another high way that would have the same terminals as the Hesterberg-Harvey project the Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn and the Astoria Boulevard approach to the Triborough Bridge in Queens. He would have this road turn in under the Williamsburg Bridge at Bedford after following the lines of the service high way of the Hesterberg plan. After the turning off on Bedford he would have the road follow the banks of the East River.

This move. he said, would provide a highway for trucks that would avoid Williamsburg Bridge traffic. The second highway proposed by Mr. Ford would be a seven-mile extension of Kings Highway to parallel the west side of the New York Connecting Railroad. According to Mr.

Ford's calcula tions, addition of these two highways would brinn the "iit of the projection to more than $150,000,000.

About 2,000 actors, actresses and performers look to Chicago for their ham-and-eggs in the summer. Nearly 800 of these are still making the rounds. The chances of substitute work in local current attractions are slim because for the first time in nearly a century there is only one legitimate nttract'on pla'ini here. Last year In the m'd'e of July there were five. the Pierrepont House, that stood for many years at Pierrepont and Hicks on the site of the present Hotel Bossert.

As may be seen from the picture, the Pierrepont was a plain, but substantial six-story building. It had a front piazza, with rocking chairs, some of which were considered almost the personal property of permanent guests, who would toddle out right after meals, and rock and rock, and gab and gab, until the bell rang for the next meal, or it came time for bed. More political and social gossip was exchanged on the Pierrepont piazza than in the liveliest sewing circle that ever worked on a patchwork quilt. Erected in Fifties The hotel was erected in the 50's, when Brooklyn was beginning to take on all the dignity of a good-sized city, and at once It gained popularity on account of its homelike atmosphere and superior cuisine. Many officers of the Navy favored it as a residence for their families, and Army men also stopped there.

For years it was the only first-class hotel for transients in Brooklyn, and it got a good deal of trade in that way, though its prosperity depended upon the guests who lived there throughout the year with the exception of a month at Long Branch, or a few weeks at Saratoga. The first proprietors were Rus sell, Chase Co. They were succeeded by James I. Byrnj, who ran the house from 1857 to 1864. Peters Wilson and William I.

Henderson were later landlords, and Charles N. Peed was mine host from 1872 to 1892. He was succeeded by Edmund W. Powers. Bar Favored Meeting Place The bar, which was In the rear of the first floor, was a favorite meeting place for residents of the heights and surrounding territory.

It was a quiet, orderly place, where a gentleman could enjoy a social glass, and as long as he remembered he was a gentleman he could remain. Otherwise he was request- ed to let off steam in the opcfl air. The writer, chatting with a real old-timer yesterday, was reminded that when the Dodgers played at Washington Park, the visiting ball teams invariably stopped1 at the Pierrepont. The players would don their uniforms at the hotel and ride out to the ball park In a stage or. a four-in-hand coach, according to their standing in the league.

The property wis bought from Abraham Abraham In 1908 by Louis Bossert, who Immediately began the erection of the hotel that bears his name.

The racers start from Paris, leads to the sea, follows the frontiers of the country along sea coast, over mountains, across plains, through forests until at the end of the month the race ends, again at Paris, in the speedway known as the Park of the Princes. During the month of its duration delivery boys, school boys and many grown-ups, pedal a little faster as they make their habitual rounds. Public interest is so great that newspapers send large staffs of writers and photographers in motorcars to follow the cvclists. Camera reporting has, however, been omicuit, especially for afternoon papers. Day Behind News Photographs were always at least a day behind the telegraphic news of the race.

They had to be sent from points around the rin of the country, practically all at least an overnight ride from Paris. And fans fretted at being shown pictures of what took place on the Atlantic Coast, while they read of sprints on the Mediterranean. Plenty of radio transmission equipment existed, but no photographer working at the speed required had the time to run around hunting radio stations. L'Intransigeant bought a truck and fitted it up with a dark room. "Belin" sending equipment and ordinary radio transmission.

Early each morning tne trucK gets out on the road ahead of the racers, while the photographers and reporters follow the bicycle mob in motorcars' snapping sprints, spills, thrilling nui-cumcs and tne like. When they get a camera full the ohotoe raphers shoot ahead of the cyclists and catch up with the truck. The truck draws off to the side of the road, runs up its mast and wires, and by the time the Dhoto- grapns nave been developed and printed begins sending them to Paris where they arrive In time for afternoon papers. News dispatches are sent from the same truck, obviating the loss of time otherwise consumed in hunting telegraph offices. Race of Keyboard Eight minutes after a photograph is developed on the road, far from any town, it is in the newspaper office ready to be printed in the next edition.

Rival snapshot artists in the meantime have to rush ahead to the nearest sizable town and mail their rolls of films to Paris, knowing that they will not arrive until the following day, too late for even the morning papers. Rival reporters have to race ahead to find telegraph offices, while the men of L'lntran' send their messages from shady glens. Though the mobile sending station is a triumph for the paper that owns it in this case, its implications for future field reporting of wars, natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, cyclones, vol canic eruptions, or riots, fires and even disasters at sea, are enormous. What a problem it raises for future censors of news dispatches. In the past these have sat at headquarters with blue pencils waiting for dispatches to be brought to them.

Quizzes Guards In Coney Death Of Submersion Hesterberg Acts on Com' plaint Pulmotor Use Was Denied to Victim Boro President Hesterberg today began an investigation into complaints made against two municipal life guards by summoning before him for interview Herman Hirsch-horn of 1729 60th St. and Samuel Rosenbloom, who lives In the Bronx, both of whom work at Coney Island beach. Hirschhorn and Rosenbloom were the life guards present when Hyman Getzkin, 28, was pulled in from the water last Saturday in an uncon scious condition. They were applying the Schaefer method of resuscitation when Dn.

Irving Plain of Coney Island Hospital arrived and wanted them to stop while he put on the inhalator. The life guards are said to have refused to stop. Dies During Dispute Getzkin died while the dispute raged. Dr. Plain complained to his hospital superintendent, Dr.

Cris-man Scherf, who wrote to the Commissioner of Hospitals, J. G. William Greeff. Yesterday Deputy Commissioner of Hospitals Thomas W. Cox wrote to Borough President Hesterberg, urging that municipal life guards be instructed in cases of submersion to call an ambulance without delay and yield completely to the surgeon when he arrives.

Hirschhorn mid Rosenbloom maintain they did yield to Dr. Plain but that they wanted to continue using the manual method of resuscitation in addition to the inhalator, experience having proved to them that the inhalator method alone is often not sufficient to revive a person suffering from submersion. Both men are experienced guards, and Rosenbloom, though only 24, has made 87 rescues In seven years at Coney Island. Dr. Plain was not summoned to Borough Hall today, but it was understood that he will be asked to talk the matter over with the Borough President at a later date.
