It, was the first major fire of 1926. | The fire started at 3:30 p. m., Sun- day, but it was midnight before it was fully under control. Spontaneous Combustion Blamed Spontaneous combustion, was be- lieved by the officials to be the cause of the blaze, which started in the crushing plant where the coal is broken before it is fed to the ovens to have gas driven off. Before the fire department arrived the interior of the crushing plant was a glowing furnace. Trestles and outsheds for storing coal for a dis- tance of 200 feet were damaged by flames. Officials of the company declared that the loss would run up to $75,000, but would not mean curtailment of the Twin’ Ports’ gas supply.

The four aspirants named are Governors Albert ©. Ritchie of Mary- land, A. Victor Donahy, of Ohio, Al- fred E, Smith of New York and former retary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, The chances of Clem L. Shaver, na- tional Democratic chairman, who is visiting here, for retention of his post, are bright, the Times also says, Neutral members of the committee, who fear another deadlock between the Smith and McAdoo forces, are said to favor him because of his own neutral attitude. Governor Ritchie, the Times says, is described by some Democrats as a particula: enace to the chances of New York’s favorite son. in- dication of his strength his friends are quoted as pointing to reports that Bernard M. Baruch, ‘a McAdoo supporter in 1914, favors the Mary- land governor.

Governor.Smith's recent announce- ment that he will retire to private life at the end of his term has caus- ed confusion in both Democratic and Republican _ ranks. The Times states that Albany advices indicate Republican legislators are planning to cooperate with him rather than give occasion to keep him in state politics by defeating any of his pro- gram. Political Gossip Democrats are wondering whether his announcement applies to national as well as state polities, but the gei eral belief is that it gives him a free hand for the national campaign, There is some talk of running his political protege, Mayor James J. Walker of New York, for vice pre: dent if the governor is eliminate: from the fight for first place on the ticket. Mayor Walker's recent tour of the south and his appeal for co- { operati between the — southern Democracy and Tammany Hall is considered significant in view of his possible boom for second place. McAdoo supporters, the Times are worried lest their campaign assume an anti-Smith rather than a pro-McAdoo complexion, Some influential Democrats, the mes continues, are reported to be opposed to the nomination of either Governor Smith or Mr. McAdoo, whose names they fear would again reaule in a serious deadlock as in They said to favor the Thomas J.
