P. CONVENTION T10-HIT ROOSEVELT END VISIT TODAY New York Parley Likely to Damage His Chances for Democratic Leader. BY MARK SULLIVAN. From the standpoint of national | politics, the New York Republican State | convention to be held next Thursday will have, paradoxically, a strong di- rect influence upon the choice of the next Democratic presidential candidate. It is certain that the Democratic nom- inee for Governor of New York will be the present Governor, Franklin Roose- velt.” It is likewise certain that if Gov. Roosevelt, is re-eleeted, he will continue to be, as he is now, the leading pos- sibility for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. It is even more certain, however, that if Gov. Roosevelt jshould be defeated for re-election in 'Nwember he would be at once eclipsed as & presidential possibility. The largest lln‘lle element to Gov. Roosevelt's availability as a presidentiai | possibility rests upon his presumed capacity to ca New York State. If as a candidate Governor in Novem- ber he should complete a record of car- rying the State twice for that office, he would be very formidable. If, how- ever, the November election should leave him with a record of carrying the State once and then being defeated for re-election, in that event Gov. - i velt as a presidential possibility would | be greatly diminished. In this judg- ment about Gov. Roosevelt's future, na- tional leaders of his own party agree. Whether Gov. Roosevelt will be re- elected in November depends, in large part, obviously upon the action of -the New York State Republicans on Thurs- day. They will nominate a csmdidate for Governor who will or will not be the best one to make the. fight against Roosevelt. Further than that, the Re- publiean : State Convention in writing its platform will, in one way or an- other, whether by silence or affirma- tion, take a -position on prohibition. The position on prohibition taken by the platform will necessarily have a re- lation to the choice of the candidate for Governor. This network of related conslderations is matter lg '.'::e Republican leaders of New York ate. Sure to Damage Roosevelt. Observers at Washington, however, and national leaders of both parties, feel that almost any outcome of the Re- publican State Convention in New York, assuming it makes no glaring mistake, will work some damage to Gov. Roose- velt as a possibility for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. If the campaign for Governor of New York is so staged as to emphasize Gov. Roose- velt’s wetness, the effect in the country, and especially among Southern Demo- crats, will be to stiffen opposition to the nomination of Roosevelt for President in 1932. This opposition is already de- termined. it has a rallying point in the person of Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, and it may readily be able to assemble the one-third of the num- ber of delegates who, in a Democratic National Convention, can prevent a nomination. On the other hand, if the coming campaign for Governior of New York is %o staged as not to emphasize prohibi- tion, the result will be to put very great emphasis on the scandals just coming to the front in Tammany. tic national leaders already ‘realize that these scandals have Gov. velt as a presidential possibility. They know, of course, that Mr. Roose- velt is utterly free of participation, but they belleve, nevertheless, that the re- verberations of eclatant scandals in the Democratic management of New York Oity will chill the country toward any political leader having any association Wwith the Democracy of New York State. Democratic national leaders do mot like to see Gov. Roosevelt’s availability jmpaired, but they have no illusions about the damaging effect on the coun- try of what the leading Democratic paper of New York OCity calls “the steady parade of Tammany office hold- ers, including judges and trates, into the courts in the role of defendants and reluctant witnesses.” Want to Nominate Wet. l The Democratic national leaders do | avail- not like to see Gov. Roosevelt' ability injured because they want to nominate a wet in 1932 and they have {ew wets available. By “national lead- ers” in this connection is meant those who now control the Democratic nation- al organization. 12'to Tave the Demoorets ot purpose ave the Democrats adopt & wet platform in 1932, which they can do by a majority vote, and if possible name a wet candidate, which requires a | two-thirds vote. In the poverty of available men who are wet and at the same time come from large and pivotal States, one finds creeping into consideration by these na- tional leaders the name of Robert Johns Senator from Ohlo. The 8 tion is seriously made that if Mr. Bul should win his contest for Sen- ator he might be nominated by his party for President. The argument against such & possibility is the lack of time in which to make Mr. Bulkley na- OUT OF 7 experience, we've chosen: Reading Anthracite D.

Having stood beside the graves of | their sons in France and paid silent tribute at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Nation's Capital, 81 Gold Star Mothers from Missouri entered upon the concluding phase of their visit to Washington today. ‘The mothers are the guests of the Missourl State Society on their way home from their Government trip to France. They arranged to visit the tomb of Washington, at Mount Vernon, today and then pay their respects to President Hoover at the White House. Gen. John J.- Pershing stood with them yesterday, in full uniform, as the mothers paid tribute at the tomb in Ar- lington National Cemetery. He laid a wreath on the tomb on behalf of the mothers, assisted by Mrs. Clara B. Ken- nedy, Mrs. Ida Owens and Mrs. Kate ‘Thompson of the Missouri group. Met at Union Station. A committee representing the Ameri- can Gold Star Mothers met the Mis- souri women at Union Station Satur- day afternoon and joined with the State society in honoring them. A dinner was given last night in the Washington Hotel, with Gen. Pershing, Secretary of War Hurley, Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz, Maj. Gen. Amos A. Pries and Mrs. H. H. McCluer, president of the Missouri chapter, among the speakers. “The greatest joy that has come to me in receént years,” said Gen. Persh- ing, in addressing the mothers, “came in welcoming several groups of the Gold Star Mothers to Prance and going with them through several of the battlefields. We owe something to them which can only be paid by a deeper love for our country and a renewal of our conse- crated service and devotion.” g on behalf of the women, Mrs. McCluer, who is a past national president of the Gold Star Mothers, said they did not regret having given thiae sons in battle, but that they did 1e®&e Nation owed it to them to see t the country their sons fought for was amply protected. Assurances by Hurley. Assuring the Mothers that they had fortified “the places and the country won_ by their sons” Secretary Hurley emphasized that in the event of an- other national emergency industrial concerns would share with the country’s manpower the responsibility of protect- ing the Nation’s interests. Services at Washington Cathedral ‘were attended by & number of the visit- ing women yesterday morning, Rev. An- son Phelps Stokes weloealln‘ them in the absence of Bishop James E. Free- man. After the service the Mothers paused briefly at the tombs of Admiral Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, in Bethle- hem Chapel. A copy of the American Creed, auto- graphed by the author, William Tyler Page, the clerk of the House of Repre- sentatives, was a memento received by the Mothers at the Capitol. While there they were invited to return in 1932 and share in the celebration of the George Washington Bicentennial. ‘The Reception Committee of the American Gold Star Mothers, which as- sisted in composed of Mrs. Seibold, the chair- man; Mrs. M.

Van- derbilt would g the Enterprise to England next year so that she ‘could against the Shamrock and other boats on British waters. "I have asked-Mr. Vanderbilt to bring the Enterprise to England next Spring,” said Sir Thomas, d I hope he does.” The doughty Irish baronet refuses to be discouraged by the defeat of the Shamrock in the America’s Cup races by the Enterprise. Saturday he was all smiles as he accepted a silver model of Newport's famous old stone mill from a committee of citizens with the reply, “I hope to race here again before very long if it is possible.” The Enterprise and the three unsuc- cessful cup defense candidates, Yankee, Weetamoe and Whirlwind, have all been asked by British yachting representa- tives here to compete off England next Summer, although official invitations have gone out to none of them yet.
