Will Hunt for Brother. While in the East for the unveiling of the statute, it was announced yes- terday. Andrew Jackson, 4th. will re. mew the search for his brother, who is believed to have vanished from an ocean liner bound for Europe. Before sailing he is believed to have disposed of some papers and other relics of the Hermit- age, the oid plantation home of Gen Jackson near Nashville, where both boys spent their childhood. The President’s will, recently sold at auction for $1,500, may have come on the market in this way. The career of Andrew Jackson is de- scribed as follows by John Trotwood Moore, State historian of Tennessee, in a sketch written especially for this cere- mony: “Andrew Jackson, seventh President of the United States was born in Wax- haw settlement, in what was then Mecklenburg, but now Union County North Carolina, March 15, 1767. “His father, by the same name, with his wife Elizabeth Hutchinson and two smail boys, Hugh and Robert, had immi- grated to America two years before, and sottled on Twelve Mile Creek in the Waxhaw settlement of North Carolina He entered a small tract of inferior land he made only a small first built r his family a log uccumbed to pneumonia and overwork two weeks before his son wac born.

Smith by arrival today of George Olvany, Tam- many leader, who stopped off for an overnight visit. Olvany, who is one of Smith's chief political advisers, has been on vaca- tion in Cuba and Florida. He put in his appearance here today on his way home, accompanied by a group of friends which included several who have a hand in Democratic party af- fairs in New York. Will Talk Politics. In the party, which went to Bilt- more Forest Country Club, where the governor came yesterday for a fort- | night's rest, were George H.

Smith, par- ticularly the meeting Tuesday of the Democratic State executive committee in New York Will Select Delegates. One of the purposes of that meeting is to select the eight delegates at large | from New York who will have a half | vote each at the Houston convention. | ‘This group will round out the State's delegation of 90. which will go into | the convention pledged to a man to| support Smith for * the presidential nomination. | Added significance has been given the Tuesday meeting because of the likelihood that it would be made the occasion for formally projecting the governor into the Democratic presiden- tial contest. Thus far he has avoided |a direct declaration of candidacy, al- though he did take steps, as required by law, to enable Democrats in Mas- | sachusetts, Michigan and South Dakota | to vote for him in presidential | primaries. | The expectation is that the New| York committee will take a stand re- garding Smith as a presidential cand date that will call for an acknowledg- ment from the governor and probably furnish an opportunity to state his position on various issues. Such a statement from him is ex- pected within a few weeks, perhaps be- fore he returns to New York. Calls on Firemen. Taking advantage of the opportunity * to rest, the governor slept late today. waiting until after luncheon to put in a round of golf.
