AL SMITH 1S LEFT " DFF DELEGATELIST Ex-Governor Was Expected . to Nominate Roosevelt for Second Term. By fhe Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 30.—Omission ©f the name of Alfred E. Smith from the list of delegates to the Democratic State Convention was the subject of considerable speculation in political cir- cles today. It had been understood the former Governor and national leader of the party had been chosen to place in nom- ination Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt for & second term. 2 Charles L. Kohler, leader of the dis- frict in which Mr. Smith lives, said: “Gov. Smith never told me he wanted to be a delegate. I would have been only too glad to have him, but I as- sumed he would prefer to go from the old first district, where he had made his home for many years.” Smith_only recently moved to his present Fifth avenue address from the first district. Kohler offered to give up his own seat to Mr. Smith should he wish it. James J. Parley, secretary of the Democratic State Committee, said: “Omission of Mr. Smith's name must be due to some mistake. It is difficult to understand, however, how it hap- pened. It was pointed out that failure to list the former Governor as a delegate would not necessarily preclude his at- tendance at the convention in that ca- pacity as_proxies undoubtedly will be proffered by scores of delegates.

Cther slices of it, therefore, may be viewed with eyes shut, But the plot is not as bad as it might be. It sits meekly most of the time in the corner--and is only brought forth at indispensable moments. Some of these moments, «too, are quite believable, thanks to a delightful performance by Maurine O'Sullivan, who is—according to_our way of thinking—one of cinema’s Teal assets. There are fewer touches of senti- ment in this film than might be supposed. True, Mr. McCormack’s lady friend dies in the middle of one of his concerts and a kind of “Laugh, Clown, Laugh” is expected during the next seconds. But nota- ing really tearful happens—the camera is shut off at appropriate places. One can't expect a picture that has Ireland for a backdrop not to be without its whimsics, how- ever—and those to whom sentiment of this kind is dear will find their hopes, rewarded. Very pret:y, espe- cially, is the pictorial accompani- ment to John's well known song, “Little Boy Blue.” Most pleasing is it to have a tenor sing with real dignity on the screen. Not even for the $500,000 that Mc- Cormack is said to secure from this - picture has he adopted the vaude-, ville manner, = He sings just as he has always sung, as a ftrue artist, and deserving enthusiastic congrat- ulations. “ The stage offering, “Marbles, seems a little tepid coming after this star, in spite of some commendable entertainment on _the banjo by Eddie Peabody, the Bennett Brothers .and the Sunkist Girls doing an ex- ceptionally good “drill” number.

By the Associated Press. WARSAW, August 30.—President Moscicki today dissolved the Polish Parliament, thus placing himselt squarely behind the militant premier- dictator, Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, in the latter'’s program of constitutional reform. Marshal Pilsudski for months has in- sisted that the present Sejm and Senate are impossible. A turbulent political campaign period is now ahead and not fntil January 16, when a new Sejm will .‘hm‘dlmber:a,m: Senate will be chosen, may the world know whether Pilsudski can expect by parliamentary means to effect the changes in the constitution which he deems neCessary. Three Stages in Conflict. Dissolution of Parliament is the third stage in the present conflict between Poland’s uncrowned King, Pilsudski, and the legislative bodies he so cordially hates. Pirst he assumed the premiership on August 25. Then last ‘Wednesday he issued ® scathing interview denouncing Parllament. Now he has sent the Parllament home. It may be taken for granted that he will leave no stone un- turned to the end that the next Sejm and Senate wil be of such character that it will do his bidding. Some political circles had hoped that Premier Plisudski might reach some sort of understanding so as to effect a compromise with Parliament, but di- vergencies of opinion between the Pil- sudski forces and their enemies through- out the country already were too deep. Fight to Finish Impends. A Dbitter f}.htww the finish now con- fronts both factions. President Moscicki's dissolution de- cree read in part: “After clrcr\l‘l deliberation I have de- termined that the most important prob- lem is the improvement of fundamental rights under which the state is gov- erned, for these form the foundation of all laws accepted within the state. This improvement is necessary because hith- erto the legal chaos existing within the state could not be avoided. Having be- come convinced that, despite my ef- forts, this improvement cannot be achieved through the present Sejm, I have resolved to dissolve the existing Sejm and Senate.” A physical attack was made during the night on Vice Marshal Dombski of the Diet in his home, The attack, belleved to have been an after-effect of Marshal Pilsudski’s re- cent outburst against members of the Diet, was committed by a group of men, thought to be soldiers, who entered Dombski's residence and administered a severe beating.
