WILL PRESS FDR LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION

Plans For Further In- vestigation Into The Hauptmann C a s e Splits Republican Leadership.

By Samuel G. BL ' Associated Press Stat! Writer (By Guardian‘: Special Wire)

TRENTON, N. J ., April 5.—Gover- nor Harold l-fcfiman's announce- ment he would press for a legisla- tive investigatlon of the Lindbergh kidnap-murder case split the Re- publican leadership sharply today, casting doubt on the prospect such an inquiry would be initiated.

The man whom the Governor said he would ask to introduce the re- solution for an investigation, As- semblyman John Kerner, said he did not know what he would do be- fore conferring with his awoclaies, some of whom are known to be op-

posed to the move. Against Investigation

One group of Republicans, includ- ing some close to the Governor, felt a legislative investigation would avail nothing, mar the effort to re- store harmony and injure the party's chances of success in the November presidential election.

The same group expressed belief the sooner New Jersey forgot about Bruno Richard Hauptmann, execu- ted Friday night for the crime, the better off the state would be.

Fear that the state would forget I-Iauptmann too soon impelled an- other group to support the Gover- nor's stand for a sweeping invest- igation. '

Opposes Go\vernor

Franklin W. Fort, former repre- sentative, one-time secretary to the national committte, announced yes- terday he would oppose the Gover- nor as a candidate for delegate-ah large to the Republican National Convention solely on the issue of the Governor's activity in the Hauptmann case.

I-lauptmann‘s body was taken late yesterday afternoon from State Prison to New York City, where it will be cremated. The ashes prob- ably will be taken later to Ger- many.

Hon. George E. Hughes, Prince Edward Island's “grand old man of Liberalism." yesterday celebrated his 83rd birthday and was the

recipient of many congratulatory letters and telegrams from all parts of Canada.

Members of the Prince Edward Island Pharmaceutical Association, of which Mr. Hughes was the founder, called to see him yester- day, as they have done on his birthday anniversary for several years past, and presented him with a magnificent boquet of roses.

Though confined to his home by reason of illness and advanced years, Mr. Hughes’ mind is still keen and alert. and he enjoys nothing better than a chat over old times with his friends and acquaintances. whose number both in the city and throughout the country, is legion.

A former member of the City Council, a past president of the Charlottetown Board of Trade and r’ the Maritime Board of Trade, a member of the Legis- lature, both as a Liberal supporter and Liberal Government member for a period of twenty-two years, Mr. Hughes’ long career as a pub- no man has furnished him with a rich fund of memories and remin- iscences. In politics he experienced the “downs“ as well as the “ups", having been “snowed under" on one occasion, and on another elected to his constituency by ac- ciamatlon. He was, however, al- most. invariably successful in his election appeals. He enjoyed the -unique distinction of having sat in the House under seven Premiers.

Mr. Hughes was also a charter member of the Provincial Exhib- ition Association, of which he has been Vice President for several

ASMARA, Eritrea, April 5—ltaly's mlvanclng army occupied withozrt resistance today the strategic city of Quorum following yesterday‘; dc. feat of Imperial troops under Em- peror Haile Selassie.

The Ethiopians were retreating rapidly toward Denyse, 100 miles to the south.

Aviators dropped 70 tons of ex. plosives upon retreating groups yes- ierday and fired 20,000 rounds of machine-sun ammunition.

Quorarn marks the start of a mo- tor road toward Addls Ababa and Opens up territory which should be comparatively easy sailing for the Italians after their tremendous dif- ficulties over the trackless miles of the arid region of the northern mountains.

Air Raid on Capital

ADDIS ABABA, April 5—Six It. alian airplanes bombed the head- quarters of Crown Prince Asia Wo- san at Dessye today while thous- ands of Addis Ababa residents streamed into the hills. fearing another air raid on the capital.

What damage was done at Dessye, formerly the field headquarters of Emperor Haile Selassie, was un- known here.

Tension in Addls Ababa. subsided at midday. when the effect of heat nnd high altitude upon gasoline consumption makes long flights by the Italians impractical. Raids are usually made just after dawn. .

Although yesterday's attack was confined to the Akakai airdrome, four miles from Addis Ababa, it was understood legations were in- qulrlng of their governments wheth- er Premier Mussolini intends to keep a reported pledge not to bomb the capital as long as it is not used for military concentrations.

The government denied Italian claims that the Emperor is fleeing after a defeat in the north.

Befutc Reich Arguments

PARIS, April 5—A three-part French note, seeking to refute the “historical and juridical“ argu- ments of Chancellor Hitler's latest peace proposals and advocating :1 new European settlement under League of Nations auspices, tonight was receiving its finishing touches, in the Foreign Office here. ‘

It was understood the essential‘ portion of the note suggested Gor- many's four Locarno co-signatories reaffirm the League's authority in all future settlements.

The notes main features were outlined in infomied circles as fol- lows:

1. Denial of the historical and juridical thesis of the German pro- posals.

2. Rensscl-tion of the “negative” position taken by Germany in its peace program, and fl. recom- mendation that the British. French and Belgian general staffs enter immediate consultation in accord- ance with last Friday's exchange of letters. '
