IEWEY LEAVES B REASURY TASK Work of Adviser to Poland Takes Him From Building Program in Capital. Invitation to Charles S. Dewey of Chicago to become financial adviser to the Republic of Poland leaves an other important vacancy in the Trem-l ury Department, where he ant secretary,-and where t much speculation yesterday will succeed him No names came to the surface, however, out of the protracted dis-| cussion, although it is believed that Secretary Mellon has received some | suggestions, fnasmuch as the possible | appointment of M Dewey has been | nolsed about for some_time. | The appointment, which is expected | 2 was | to who | 10 be formally accomplished after the | s formalities of election to the board| of directors of the Bank of Poland, | will be followed by Mr. Dewey". i, nation from the Treasury, | by about the end of the first week of next month. Mr. Dewey will be elect i ed to a directorship November 5, ac cording to a siatement last night from the Polish legation. | The administration recently approved | a Polish loan to be floated in this country, and it is understood Mr. Dewey will have much responsibility in the matter of supervising expendi- ture of this money for the Eurvpean republic., Building Program Here. Mr. Dewsy, who was at first in| charge of the Government's $1 . 000 public building program, quished the part of Washington to Assistant 3 Schuneman, but retained direction of the developments in the Natioml Cap- ital. With the departure of Mr Dewey, it was considered likely ves- terday at the Treasury, responsibility for the Washington building program will probably be turned over to Mr. Schuneman, instead of being con- tinued in the hands of Mr. Dewey's successor who is to be in chrage of fiscal offices. During his three and a half years in the Treasury, Mr. Dewey has ac- complished many important improve- ments which have resulted in in- creased efficiency and economy of ‘operation. ‘The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has been reorganized, new methods of operation have been intro- duced, and subStantial savings in annual expenditures accomplished. As a result of his study and in- vestigation of the Treasury’s currency problems, important improvements have been made insthe production and distribution of paper currency. It was upon the recommendation of Mr. Dewey that Secretary Mellon recently approved the change in the size of the currency, which change, when finally in effect. will resuit in considerable reduction in expenditures as well as provide greater convenience to the i pubiic. In his supervision of fiscal offices Mr. Dewey was responsible for im- portant improvements in the admini- _ stration of the Federal farm loan act. Active in Civie Affairs. While Mr. Dewey was engaged in e enterprises he participated in the civic affairs of Chicago, serving as chairman of the Army and Navy committee of the Association of Commerce, as trustee of the Chi- cago Lying-in Hospital, as treasurer of the Chicago council of Boy Scouts and as treasurer of the Civilian Mili- tary Camps Association. At present he is the national treasurer of the American Red Cross, as well as a member of the central committee of that organization. His family for several generations have been engaged in banking.

A fight over the two-thirds rule would scarcel culated to maintain harmony cratic ranks. Proponents of the pr posed a tion would b looked upon as acting for Gov. Al Smith at this time. The two-thirds rule, it is pointed out, operates to place a veto power in the hands of States which their electorial votes for the cratic nominees against the sel of w presidential candidate b) which cast their electorial the Republican nominee. While the Republicans have a majority rule in their party national conventions, they have limited the delegate strength of the Southern States, which always vote the Democratic ticket, and have incrensed the strength of the States which cast their electorial votes for the Republican ticket. The dual pur- pose of the Republicans was to prevent a domination of the selection of the party nominee by States which did not “go” Republican, and to prevent a President from using his power of patronage to obtain delegates in order to be renominated. Chairman Silver is going ahead with all the plans for the national commit- tee meeting and, indeed, for the con- vention, subject to the approval of the committtee. There is no indication that he plans to retire from the chairman- ship of the committee. On the con- trary he is expected te continue as chairman until the convention has nominated its condidate for President, who will then select his own cam- paign manager who will doubtless come chairman of the national com- mittee.

Secretary Davis at the War De- partment is planning to leave St. Louis Wednesday on an inspection trip along the flood control project areas of the Mississippl that will carry him to New Orleans by Friday and back to St. Louis by October 25. The trip will be made by train as much as possible, but wherever necessary the Secretary will go by automobile or by boat. The trip is being arranged by Maj. Gen. Jadwin, chief of Army En, neers, because of the Secretary's desire to famillarize himself, in ad- vance of the completion of the engi® neering report which will contain recommendations for a general flood control plan, with sthe geographical features that must be considered in You Won’t Have to Go to France to Visit Le Bourget The Memorable Point at Which Lindbergh Completed His Flight, But You May making up the report.

Two or three of the cities which are asking for the convention are -also asking for the Republican na- tional convention. If one of them gets the Republican convention—a matter 1l be decided in December— it will cease to bid for the Democratic convention. Cleveland, Detroit and San Francisco are out for either con- vention they can get.
