Smith, Democratic candidate for President in 1928, in New York yester- day afternoon, for publication tomor- | row, it appraised the situation which would be created if Gov.

Roosevelt In the second place, the suspicion which has been in the minds of many political observers and politicians that Gov. Smith would in the end become a candidate, will have been justified, if Gov. Smith. as has been predicted by some of his friends, becomes a receptive candidate Nomination Doubted. In the third place, some of the Demo- cratic leaders insist that whatever may be the position taken by Gov. Smith, he cannot be nominated |, Republican leaders here are no less interested in the forthcoming state- | | ment by Gov. Smith than the Demo- | crats themselves. Their belief is that if Gov. Smith gets into_the fight, the Democrats will face another 1924 Madi- son Square Garden Convention, from which the Republicans themselves may benefit in the national elections. Gov. Roosevelt's statement on the prohibition question, made in New York Friday, largely as an outcome of a visit paid him by Mayor James Cur- lev of Boston, an ardent Roosevelt supporter, was the subject of comment among the Democrats here.
