(Py The te.1 Pie) Detroit, July Michigan's most muddled republican state convention in many years appeared headed today for a floor fiRht to determine whether Kim SiRler, the GOP nominee for Governor, shall name his own slate of candidates for th November election ballot. A photo of Sigler's slate for state officers Is on page three.

The party's 1,582 delegates staggered to their beds at an early hour today still unable to pick out a pattern in the cross-currents of sentiment within their ranks, ami left the final decisions to their Congressional district caucuses this morning and probably to the actual convention balloting itself. Kelly Denies He Will Resign To Become Justice Detroit, July 5 AP Gov. Harry F. Kelly today denied reports that he might resign as Governor, asserting: was elected as Governor and I will serve out my term." There had been speculation that Kelly would name Lt Gov. Vernon Brown as his successor, then take an appointment to the State Supreme Court.

Justice Raymond W. Starr of the state bench has been nominated for the Western Michigan federal judgeship vacancy. Sigler, dynamic former special prosecutor of the Ingham County Grand Jury who blitzed his way into the gubernatorial nomination in June, stuck to his announced determination to seek the scalps of three of the four state officials seeking renomination. SIGLER'S SELECTIONS To an early morning press con ference, following hours of hotel room Sigler disclosed the following as his slate: For Secretary of State Fred M.

Dcfhmers and Auditor General John D. Morrison. IRONWOOD MAN DECLINES None of the three incumbents gave any indication of withdrawing in Sigler's behalf, but rather thnv exuded confidence rf being able to squeeze at least two and possibly all of their number onto the ballot. Convention gossip said Sigler had trouble filling his slate. Early Thursday, he announced Victor C.

Lemmer, Ironwod insurance man, was his nominee for Auditor General. Lemmer apparently dealt the Sigler forces a body blow by announcing early Thursday night that "if John Morrison, the present Auditor General, is interested in re-nomination I believe he should be given every opportunity to again serve the state. Knowing Morrison as I do, I am convinced he is the best qualified republican in the Upper Peninsula, and in fact in the the state, for Auditor General." unable to get a qualified candidate to fill the tradition that the Auditor General candidate come from the Upper Penin-.

There were five traffic injuries reported in Sanilac county and four in Huron county.

In the state eight were drowned and three killed in traffic accidents over the holiday, far below expectations. The national toll was 142 killed, with traffic accidents claiming 63 of the victims. The National Safety Council had forecast a far higher count. The vigilance of the Police, Sheriffs officers and State Police and co-operation of drivers were credited for the district's sane record. Police Chief Thomas J.

Davidson said today. "Considering the amount of traffic which congested roads here, the fact that we had no accidents is really remarkable. We want all drivers to know that the way in which they handled their cars and conducted themselves in general is appreciated by this department." "The fact that we had no accidents of a serious nature over the Fourth shows that people in general and drivers In particular are becoming more conscious of their responsibilities to each other," said Sheriff Ferris E. Lucas. The Fourth marked the second successive holiday in which no major accidents occurred here.

Memorial Day also passed without serious mishap. PARKS CROWDED As was expected, perfect weather drew crowds of visitors and all main roads and public parks, including Lakeside and Pine Grove Parks, Lakeport State Park, Marysville Community Park and others in the area were crowded throughout the day. The most serious aecidtnt in the district Thursday occurred at Algonac when Mrs. Florence Stubbs. and her son Frank, were fcurned as their motorboat exploded in the boat house at their home.

They were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, Mt. Clemens, where their condition today was described as "fair." In Port Huron cars dri. en by Allen Ceglarek, 1518 Gillett street, and Charles Inch, 1413 Lapeer i avenue, sideswiped at Water street and Campau avenue. Both vehicles were damaged but no one was injured.

BRIDGE TRAFFIC Traffic on Blue Water Bridge Thursday was the heaviest of any July 4 since 1939, Walter C. Stinson. secretary of the State Bridge commission, reported. Some 4,043 cars croised the structure in the 24-hour period, nearly double the 2,304 which crossed July 4, 1945, but failing to surpass the 1939 record "of 5,000 Some 10,593 cars made the trip between July 1-4 this year, Mr. Stinson reported.

This failed to equal the 1939 total of 13,681 for the same period but surpassed last year when 6,733 made the trip. 5 HURT IN SANILAC Five persons were injured, none seriously, in a series of three accidents on the Fourth of July in Sanilac County.

When we arrived at the back door of the establishment, we found several men waiting for the water in the alley to subside so that they would get across without getting too wet.

And there was a man there whose car was a couple of feet from the door the other side of a raging torrent. He sized up the situation and bent over and took off his shoes and stockings and waded througn the stream to his car, got in and drove away. And that's what we'd call using one head. 34 DEATHS ARE Bloodiest Postwar Pogrom Against Jews In Poland Warsaw, July 5 A tale spread by a frightened 8-year-old boy was revealed today to have touched off the bloodiest anti-Semitic riot at Kielce in which 34 persons were reported killed, 42 injured and 63 arrested. Among those' arrested, according to reports, were some Polish militiamen.

Information from Kielce said said that a youngster named Hend-rik Blasczyk had told the story which whipped up the lrenzy of the Kielce residents. He said that he had been held prisoner in the basement of a apartment house and that he managed to escape before the residents could murder him.

STOPPED BY ARMORED CARS July 5 AP At least 34 persons were reported today to have been killed and 42 wounded at the city of Kielce in Poland's bloodiest postwar pogrom, which was finally suppressed by govern- ment forces in armored cars. Reinforced military units and security police patrolled Kielce's streets.

Anti-Jewish rumors apparently touched off the outbreak Thursday. One rumor was that a Polish baby had been killed by Jews. Another was that a Polish boy had been kidnaped and held in a cellar two days by a Jew. WORST IN YEARS Reports from Kielce, a farm market nad industrial center of said it was the bloodiest pogrom in Poland in years. About 800 of the city population are Jews.

Apartments and homes of Jews were attacked by men the government described as "fascist elements." Jews were snatched from street cars and railway coaches. Mobs struck at the headquarters of the central Jewish committee of Kielce, but were repulsed after the Jews appealed to security police and militiamen for assistance. Militia reinforcements sent to Kielce used the armored cars. The government clamped down a curfew effective at 7 p.m. Two Men, Woman Face Charges Of Drunk Driving St.

His Feet Got Wet But His Shoes Remained Dry By ED. S. SNOVER The heavy rainstorm Monday turned the streets of Port Huron into miniature rivers. Water ran curb-high on downtown streets and there was two or three inches of water running over crosswalks at street intersections. Customs alley, east of the Fed eral Building, was a babbling brook of no mean dimensions.

The flood was especially tough on the women with open-toe shoes. Even if she walked on the side walk, the shoes quickly filled with water. And if she tried to cross a street, the water squirted up out of the tops of her footwear at every step she took. But the women kept right on.
