Emerging from the convention hall, Senator Walsh faced a jam of people and the ‘police had to fight a way through for him so he could reach’ his automobile. Accompanie hy his brother, John Walsh, of Wash- ington, D. C., and Senator Pittman, of Nevada; Gerry of Rhode Island, and Adams, of Colorado, he drove im- mediately to the town home of Charles R. Crane, where he*has been a guest since his arrival in New York. . Some of Senator Walsh's friends said a number of party leaders were of the opinion that the logic of the situation called for the nomination of Senator Walsh, They added that he would prove a strong running mate with John W, Davis.

The plant is thought to have been running for two years at least and federal and county officers have spent weeks all told searching the surrounding country for this par- ticular layout. The factor that made it so. difficult to find was that it was only two miles from the main Salt Creek-Sussex highway but because of the contour of the country it was necessary to travel seven miles by a barely marked to trail to reach it. ‘The officers found a compiete dis- tillery with four stills oh hand rang- ing from a “baby” still of 10 gallons to one of 125 gallon c y.
