BY DAVID LAWRENCE. NEW YORK, October 22.—As usual, New York State contains more factors | of national interest in politics than all | the other States put together. Here, for instance, a presidential can- didate of one of the major parties, namely former Gov. Al Smith, is active in the campaign, while Gov. Roosevelt, who is up for re-election, may or may not become the standard-bearer of the De ' upon how he fares on November 4. | Here, too, the Republican party is | making a real issue of Tammany scan- dals, and here, also, the issue of pro- ! hibition has cut deeply into party lines | Wets Prefer G. O. P. Candidate. So far as the Wets are concerned, they rather prefer the Republican candidate, Charles H. Tuttle, who is supposed to be somewhat wetter than Gov. Roose- velt. But the issue has been to a large extent neutralized because both can- didates want the eighteenth amendment repealed. Thus it resolves itself into a stand-off, with the wet Republicans vo! ing for Mr. Tuttle while the wet Demo- | crats will prefer Mr. Roosevelt. It is significant to observe that the uuon.l administration at Washington has scrupulously refrained from par- ticipating in the New York campaign, even to the extent of keeping speakers inence from going into the State. Lhe exee tion of Assistant Secre- vison of the War De- mm'nenh v.hem are no important men from the Hoover administration on the stump in the Empire State, though they are making speeches in other States. Principal Reason Assigned. ‘The reason usually given is that the Hooverites do not wish to embarrass the President by coming out in support of g Republican candidate for Governor who is urging the repeal of the eight- eenth amendment, and there is no way to come into the State and help the members of Congress without being drawn into a discussion of the guber- natorial race. ‘Tammany is in one of the most awk- ward positions it has ever experienced. It doesn't like Gov. Roosevelt because he has maintained a more or less in- dependent attitude and has done what he thought was his duty with respect to the investigations of alleged corrup- tion in the ap \ntment of magistrates in New York But Tammlny ‘knows also that if it doesn’t support Gov. Roosevelt and help elect him, Mr, Tuttle in the Gov- ernor’s chair will not handle Tanmimany with kid gloves, but with a crowbar. So, reluctantly, Tammany faces the task of making sure that Franklin D. Roose- velt is re-elected Governor. Roosevelt's Aggressive Attitude. ‘Mr. Roosevelt has been much more aggressive in the past six months as Governor of the State than he was the first year and he has the united sup- port of his party. He has perhaps not retal as many Republican votes as were cast for him in 1928, but the Re- ublicans on the other hand are divided cause of the prohibition issue. The extreme drys are likely to subtract a couple hundred thousand votes from Mr. Tuttle, .l\'lng them to the third candidate, Prof. Carroll, who was put into the fleld by the dry organizations. Gov. Roosevelt appears to have the better of the race 5o far. ‘Ooprrishi, 1980 i DEFENDS TARIFF Bmoot Says France Has Little to Complain About New Law.

PHILADELPHIA, October 23.—Re- ports of a breach between Secretary of | Labor James J. Davis and Gifford Pin- . chot over the attitude of President Hoover in the Pennsylvania campaign have been denied by Davis.

Secretary Davis made his statement after Gen. Edward ‘fartin, chairman of the Republican State Committee, had announced here that Davis had asked to be excused for the remainier of the campaign because of President Hoover’s demand for every minute of | his time to meet the unemployment situation. Martin's announcement was imme- diately constried in political circles opposed to Pinchot’s candidacy as an- other manifestation of the aifference of opinion between tne senatorial and gubernatorial candidates concerning the wishes of the President In Pennsylvania battle. Statements in Confllak Pinchot had given Davis as author- ity for the statement that President Hoover was anxious for the success of every candidate on the Republican ticket, while Davis had stated that the President had not indorsed any candi- date. The conflicting statements were made in campaign addresses in the western part of the State. Philadelphia leaders who have bolt- | ed Pinchot and are supporting John Hemphill, Democratic-Liberal candi- date, are understood to have advjsed Davis it would cost him votes here if he mounted the platform with the for- mer Governor, and Gen. Martin's state ment was interpreted by them as an indication that the advice had been accepted. Pinchot Faction Plans Suit. Plans are under way by supporters of Pinchot for an attack in the courts on the right of the Republican campaign Committee of Philadelphia to receive | campaign contributions or watchers’ certificates. 8.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 23.—A Nation- wide program of education in behalf of prohibition was announced today by the American Business Men's Prohibi- tion Foundation. Charles R. Jones, chairman, said a budget of $10,000,000 ‘would be raised for newspaper and other advertising. “More than 100 years of tireless edu- cation preceded the adoption of the eighteenth amendment,” Jones said, “but with the ratification of the amend- ment by 46 of the 48 States, practically all educational effort ceased. “People forget quickly; they must be told over and over again. Moreover, during these past 10 years following the advent of prohibition, something like 12,000,000 or 13,000,000 young voters have come of age who were children when the amendment was enacted. This younger generation has been given very little serious instruction in the mean- ing and possibilities of the eighteenth amendment.” Jones lMd the foundation was formed under a “not-for-profit” charter last January as a result of the growing rellilltlon of the need for education on prohibition. He said the organization first assembled statistics on the effects of prohibition, and that it now was ready to the facts on to the people. He added that the plans had been IJJ- proved by Amos W. W. Woodcock, di- rector of the United States Bureau of Prohibition. ‘The foundation lists as members of its advisory board nationally known men from all sections of the country, including: James C. Penney, chain store executive; S. 8. McClure, magazine publisher; Louls J. Taber, master of the National Grange; Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University; Dr. Charles C.

M’CORMICK RAPS THOMPSON |Mayor Held Responsible for Cir- oular Urging Colored Votes for Lewis. By the Assoclatea Press. i CHICAGO, October 23.—Representa- tive Ruth Hanna McCormick today pointed to unsigned circulars she said had been sent to colored voters as vin- dication of her claim to complete lack of political alliance with Mayor William Hale Thompson. In a formal statement last night, the Senate campaigner said that she had been advised that Mayor Thompson, leader of the Republican group known jpeak | as the City Hall forces, was responsible for distribution of the circulars, which urged colored voters to support her Democratic opponent, former Senator James Hamilton Lewis. | Her statement added that shie had | been informed the circulars contained | & “malicious and unjustifiable attack | upon her late husband, Medill McCor- | mick.” | “While I regret that the announce- ment of the mayor's opposition to me was not made more openly and regret that it is based on a malicious and un- justifiable attack on my late husband, I am pleased,” said the McCormick statement, “that the mayor’s attitude 1s thus definitely disclosed. “His action will, I am sure, throw a new light on my own political associa- tions, which have been generally mis- represented in the hostile press for the last two years.” The statement continued: “I have repeatedly said publicly that I never had & political alliance with Mayor Thompson.” She added that the cir- cular appealed for votes for all Repub- lican candidates except Mrs. McCormick and cited this as evidence of “Mayor Thompson's animosity” toward her, LEGION AUXILIARY ELECTS OFFICERS President—1Is Prominent Among { Civic Organizations. | Mrs. May D.

CURITYBA, Parana, Brazil, Ocmberi 23.—The Brazillan revolutionary com- mand was informed today that the 19th Battallon of Chasseurs, stationed at Timbo, State of Bahia, had revolted and joined the insurgent movement. Timbo is a reilroad center about 100 miles away from Bahia, third largest city of Brazil, and the insurgent ld-l vices claimed that the federal defection | opened up the way for their advance directly into Bahia on the railroad lil'le' between the two cities. Rebel troops claimed yesterday to have repelled a strong federal attempt to destroy Senges Bridge, across the Rio Taguary, just south of Itarare. The effect would have been to cut the line of communication of the insurgent vanguard which has advanced beyond Itarare into Sao Paulo, and to have stranded it north of the wiver without | means of getting supplies. There was & new element occasioning some surprise in the rebel statement today. This was that a considerable quantity of war material had been cap- - tured at Ponta Grossa. Ponta Grossa is just west of Curityba and far within a territory which heretofore had been regarded as exclusively occupied by rebels. WOUNDED REACH RIO.

An embargo on shipments of arms and munitions to Brazil was imposed yesterday by President Hoover following a plea of the Brazilian government. ‘The embargo was contained in a proc- lamation signed by President Hoover and countersigned and sealed by Secre- tary Stimson. x: carried the proviso that shipments could be made to Brazil under licenses granted by the Secretary of State, which, in effect, would prevent ship- ments to any Brazilians other than those representing the administration of President Washington Luis, the only government in Brazil recognized by the United States. Brazil's request for imposition of the embargo was contained in a note dated yesurdly and delivered by Ambassador Amaral of Brazil to Secretary Stim- clo.ely following the issuance of the embargo proclamation at the State De-. partment, the Navy Department &n- nounced that 1t had again granted pri- vate airplane manufacturers the right to deliver to the Brazilian government tirphnu for which the Navy had eon- racted. The Navy's latest accession was to the requast of the Glenn L. Martin Co. of Baltimore to release to the Bra- zilian government three patrol planes other planes have been released to Bra- zil on permission of the Navy by the Curtiss-Wright Co. ‘The President’s proclamation was in line with Secretary Stimson’s pro- nouncement of policy last week that the American Government would allow the shipment of arms and munitions to the Brazilian government. Violation by American citizens of the embargo, issued under the authority of an act of Congress of 1922, carries a penalty of two years' imprisonment or a fine of $10,000 or both. The penalty ‘was cited in the proclamation. The note of the Brazilian govern- ment asserted “the conditions of domes- tic violence” prescribed in the act under which an embargo could be placed ex- isted in Brazil and persons in the United States sympathetic with the revolutionists were endeavoring to pur- chase arms in America. To preclude such purchases, it was requested that | the embargo be placed on all arms and munitions except those permitted by the State Department to be shipped. Only two other embargos exist In Latin America, both in Central America. These are on arms to Nicaragus and Honduras. A similar embargo is in ef- | fect on shipments to China. State De- partment officials said, however, that no embargo has ever before been placed on {arms shipments to a republic on the continent of South America.
