FOES LACK UNIT IN DRIVE 0 STOP SMITH AT HOUST Only Hope Seen in Favorite Son C-ndidates From South and West. PROHIBITION QUESTION PROMISES FIREWORKS New York and Illinois Delegations May Propose Referendum on Dry law. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Stalf Correspondent of The Star. HOUSTON, June 23.—Who can “stop” Al Smith of New York in his quest of the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent at Houston this week? The an. swer appears to be at this stage of the game, “No one.” The opposition to the New York gov- ernor lacks cohesion It has centered on no single candidate. Its only hope lies in the favorite son candidates from the South and the Middle West holding on to their delegates in sufficient, rum- ber until the Smith forces begin -to disintegrate.

BY BEN McKELWAY, Staft Correspapdent of The Star. HOUSTON, June 23.—Perspiring hotel employes removing all furniture from the lobby of the Rice Hotel today, to prevent stumbling and casualties on the part of dazed Democrats, and the bell boy who strung up one final American flag from the mezzanine balcony and stood back on his step- ladder to survey his handiwork, were like the stage hands who frantically shift the last bit of scenery to complete the set before the curtain goes up. The -urtain on Houston's convention week goes up tomorrow morning promptly at_sun-up. The efforts of the above-mentioned individuals symbolized Houston's final preparations for the Democratic na- tional convention; preparations that began months ago in Washington when Jesse Jones, patriot, party leader and owner of most of this part of Texas, waved a blank check in the faces of the awe-struck members of the Demo- cratic national committee and dared them to go anywhere else but Houston. And when the sun went down tonight— one of the nicest things, by the way, that the sun does down hzl'e—eversy- thing was all set.

By Cable to The Sins and the New York orle LONDON, June 23.—The greatest mail robbery in the history of trans- atlantic mail service was discovered here this morning when the mail bags from the liner Leviathan were opened in London and the major part of the contents of the registered mail bags found to be missing. ‘The robbery, from all appearances, seems to have occurred before the liner left New York. An estimate of the loss as $500,000, published in one of the afternoon newspapers, was declared by Chief Inspector Cooper of Scot- land Yard, as nothing but wild guess- work. . “The Leviathan robbery is unique-- that mbch 1s clear,” Cooper says. “There’s no possible way of estimating the value of the cash, jewelry and ses curities taken from the more than 100 mail bags which were rifled. There's never been anything like it—and there you are.” Continent Mail Off. ‘These facts are kriown to the British investigators: Leviathan carried 3,253 kags cé By breakfast time celved from Bristol that two bags mail for that city had been looted. It soon became apparent that a large majority of all Leviathan's mail had been robbed, with every indica- tion of thoroughness and lack of haste. All evidence, the given facts indicate, points to New York as the scene of the crime, which, it is beljeved, must have taken place in the post office be- fore the seals were affixed by the postal authorities and the mail taken to the Leviathan.

No Time in Britain. That the robbery could have been committed between the time the bags were taken from the boat and the time of their receipt in London is pro- nounced impossible, not only because there was no time for it—only three and one-half hours to be accounted for before the sorting clerks here received the bags—but because both the outer (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.)
