DEMOCRATIC RIFT AGAIN IS APPARENT, California Primary Held Defi- . nite Sign of Revived Smith- McAdoo Fight. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Hope springs eternal in the breasts ot the politically ambitious, but there has hardly been anything_to equal the tenacity with which the followers ot Willlam Gibhs McAdoo have clung to his standard. Just as Democrats were beginning to feel that the 1928 convention would not be a repetition of the Madison Square Garden flasco the primaries in California arose to indicate otherwise. For the California primary is the best evidence that @ould bo offered that the breach inside the Democratic party has not heen healed. and this, by the way. causes no small amount of rejoicing in the bosoms of the Re- publican leaders who feel even more confident on that account of a con- tinuance of Republican control of the executive Dranch of the Government. Issues Like Those o 1924, Whether the for the vi of the ith the Dockweiler Democracy in Cadlforr whether it is ‘the result of cal ambitions on the parft of those who fought for McAdoo to control the State machinery, the fact remains in Mr. MecAdoo's own State 2 battle has been fought on s mot far different from those wi the Madison Square ( tion balloting for da; Throughout the there has 2 of the s among rce of harmony. h the two-thirds rule was advanced by MeAdoo men and concurred in by Smith supporters in the hope tha convention could nomi But_the Calif that the =o healed and tl the same intensity us hefore. only advant t the fight is on with The f the early outcrop. ping of this rivalry is that it may awaken other Democrats to the folly of further strife =o early in the game as to cause the elimination of the two main ¢ enders and an agree- ment on a Compromise candidate long before the convention is at hand.

Two Senators who voted for the court have announced they now op- pose it, even on the terms lald down by the.Senate itself, and should these terms be modified at the Geneva con- ference the situation would be so changed that no one professes to know what might happen.

While the girl wrote “For God's sake, help me—am being kidnaped” sufficiently plain and boid on the sides of a one-page hotel dodger, she failed to give the correct designation of the New Jersey car which she claimed \eas taking her away or the New Jer- | sey city in which she lives at “315 Webster avenue.” Inspector Orders Inquiry. | As a matter of rontine, Inspector H.

Police say the cryptic note from the girl, who claimed she was being kid- naped. was picked up by Jesse Seid- ers, 18 ars old, of 810 street southwest. Seiders turned it over to Sergt. Rosenberg of the fourth pre- cinct station, who in turn sent it to Capt. Walter Emerson, night chief of detectives. The hotel leaflet, on which the ap- peal was written is similar to those distributed to visitors at Hyattsville and Laurel, as they are on theilr way to_the city. ‘Besides giving her own name in the note, “Miss Costello” also gives the name of one of her ‘alleged captors. The cities to which Sergt. Morgan has written in quest of more light on the. case are Newark, Camden, Elizabeth and Jersey City. .
