P.) —With the increasing influx of dele- gates to the national Democratic con- vention, political mathematicians are busily engaged in figuring the actual and potential strength of the leading candidates, complicated as their task is, by the arrival of favorite sons. and dark horses in candidates’ row. Two separate movements to groom John W. Davis of West Virginia, former ambassador to Great Britain, for the nomination developed (n Washington and Ci o, and were growing stronger every minute when it arrived here after Davis let it be known that he was in a receptive mood. Party chieftains admittedly McAdoo and neutral regarding Smith immediately began sounding out state leaders on Davis as a possible com- promise candidate in the event that the Smith-McAdoo contest developed a deadlock. Favorite Sons There \ Managers for George S. Silzer, Gov- ernor of New Jersey, Carter Glass of Virgi Oscar Underwood of Alabama and James M. Cox of Ohio, have opened headquarters. Work al- ready has been started by Homer S. Cummings of Connecticut on the party platform. It is generally conceded that the main test of strength between the McAdoo and Smith forces will be on the question of the Ku Klux Klan, League of Nations and Prohibition. George P.

They come not from any of the many political camps, and, therefore, may be accepted with the utmost reliability steers for dele- gates, given the convention’s chief watcher—Mrs. Mary Hami ton, leading policewoman of Ne York, whose special job it is to from the on- slaughts of the city bunco artists. These tips are g&od for any visit- or to New York at any time. “Don't forget your wits—when packing and after. And if married, don’t forget your wife. She is al- ways a good stabilizer. “Don’t think you know it all, and don’t believe everything. Not everything that sounds well ends well. “Remember not, to depend upon all public porters’ and taxicab driv- ers. If at any time you feel that you have not been treated fairly by either a porter or taxi driver, re port it to the police. “Be careful of hotel runner There ‘are many unscrupulous who will take advantage of you Theirs is not the best way to secure accommodations.” Because New York has long been a Mecca for con men and flim-flam artists, Mrs. Hamilton — issues special warning against lost une the flapper's lament, and — other ounding loped from din public places. “Remember conversations in hotel lobbies are public property. They st you any time. “Don't be surprised if what you mentioned to a friend*is brought up by a total stranger. for your good graces, is simply scheme against you. “Don’t fall for beautiful and flir- tatious women or suave men. “Don't buy tickets’ for Central Park. “Don’t squander money on worth- less relics or antiques with ques- tionable backgrounds. “Don’t take a chance on the gild- ed Minerva which ornaments the tower of Madison Square Garden, It is not going to be raffled off at. the Under Mrs. Hamilton’s charge, Women’s Bureau of Information has that the Democratic plgtform must definitely denounce the Klan, Man- agers of the McAdoo campaign have reiterated the stand taken by their candidate in his southern speeches on Americanism and religious toler- ance, To Senator Pittman of Nevada has been designated the duty of framing the fundamental plank on the plat- form. Senator Pittman, who conferr- ed on a tentative draft on the plat- form, with Congressmen in Washing- ton, conferred with Cummings. Women Active The women blossomed forth today and became active in both the Smith and McAdoo camps-while pamphlets setting forth the feminine strength of both candidates began to appear, William Jennings Bryan, who has promised to do “plenty of talking to the party leaders “once he get in form, is due today, Howard Everett, Democratic national committeeman from Minnesota, said that in his state there is a very robust Smith sentiment and that of 24 delegates, 19 showed leanings toward Smith. Mr. Everett said that the big issue in Minnesota is: Agricultural Relief, the farmers seeking a candidate who will help him out of his trouble: and in this connection he called at-’ tention to the number of banks which had gone to the wall in the agricul- tural sections of the west. Peace Pact Denied Reports of a peace pact between W. R. Hearst and Governor Smith drew attention .from\ Mr. Hearsts’ American today. It printed a box on page one headed “Its news to me— Reply of Hylan on Smith truce.” The Herald-Tribune had the fol- lowing page one heading: “Hearst- Smith Deal is Called Day's Best Joke.” There are still a few convention Seats, it is announced.
