PHILADELPHIA, April 28 (#)— Latest unofficinl figures from 6,249 districts out of the 8,181 in the State in Tuesday's primary gave Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt a lead in the Democratic presidential pref- erence voting of 18,995 over former Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The total figures were Roosevelt, 96,597; Smith, 77,602, By the Assoclated Press, PHILADELPHIA, April 28.—Voters in the Democratic primary of Tuesday #till awaited word today regarding the size of the “chock” former Gov.

Ballot Cumbersome. ‘The cumbersome ballct and many | Republican contests, which impelied the | tellers to count that party’s votes first, held up information as to how far Smith had made inroads upon the 60 to 70 votes Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt expected to win from this State in his contest for the presidential nomination. Pennsylvania has 76 votes at Chi- cago, 68 cast by as many district dele- ates and 8 cast by 16 delegates at firge, “With returns complete from 25 districts out of the 34 in the State, 33 districts’ delegates were claimed for Roosevelf, 13 were listed against him, and the sentiment of the other four 50 far known to be elected was in doubt. Delegates at Large. In the race for degeates at large *“harmony” candidates, who had prom- | ised to support the popular ehoice, held the lead and anti-Roosevelt candidates trailed. Roosevelt headquarters claimed 71, votes of the 8 to be cast by these delegates. In the preferential expression, which does not bind even those delegates who agreed to be guided by it, 5,936 pre- cincts out of 8181 in the State gave Roosevelt 93,515 and Smith 73,490. ‘This count included virtually complete returns from Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh, where Smith was believed to have his principal strength.

DEMOCRA}g.AhEVOTING IN CONNECTICUT TODAY Delegates to State Convention Will Be Chosen—500 of 968 Claimed for Smith. By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 28— Delegates to the Democratic State | Convention, where supporters of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E.| Smith expect to wage a strenuous bat- | tle for Connecticut's 16 delegates to the national convention, will be chosen to- night in State-wide primaries ‘Thomas J. Spellacy, former national committeeman and leader of the Smith | forces, predicted that at least 500 of the 968 delegates to the State con- vention will be favorable to the presi- dential candidacy of the former New York Governor. Six of the eight counties were as- serted to be favorable-to Gov. Roose- velt by Archibald McNeil, whose post as national committeeman will also be at stake in today's primaries. He is| opposed for re-election by David Fitz| Gerald, former New Haven mayor and a Smith leader. As a result 1dgeport. of caucuses held in| New Haven and East Hart- ford last week to select delegates to! town conventions, which in_turn will| choose the delegates to the State gath- ering.

Y. Apr —A severe atisee on Gov. Frankiin D. Roosevelts St. Paul speech was loosed here last night by Ernest Lee Jahncke, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. during a fervid plea for the re-election of President Hoover. Mentioning Roosevelt by name in the Governor's own bailiwick, the cab- inet member referred to Roosevelt's assault on the Republican tariff as a familiar “song and dance” by the Democrats, and added: “Any one who tells you that he or his party will make drastic changes in our tariff law is either an utopian free trader or an utter demagogue.” In his St. Paul address April 18 Gov. Roosevelt sald: “To my mind a proper tariff policy musi be a complete re- versal of the methods of the present administration.” Addressing the Unconditional Repub- lican Club of Albany, Jahncke also as- sailed an earlier statement by the lead- ing candidate for the Democratic presi- nomination that the Recon- icn Corporation had aided only and ignored the small ones. easoned campaigner as Gov. he said, “should know the of false accusation and fraudu- cictment when the truth is at all available to the pubiic.” Records of the corporation, the speaker sdded, show that it had given istance to 91 banks in Iowa, 21 in bama, 20 in Arkansas, 26 in Geor- 18 in Louisiana, 14 in Kentucky, 39 Missouri, 14 in Montana, 27 in Ne- brask 0 in North Dakota, 28 ig Okla- homa, n South Dakota, 46 in Wash- ington, 30 in Virginia and “so on to a total of 582."

MACON, Ga., April 28.—Complica- tions in the ranks of Georgia Republic- ans developed here yesterday at a meet- ing of colored people from all parts of the State who styled themselves the State Central Committee and issued a call for a convention to elect delegates to the National Convention. May 14 was designated as the date for the convention in Macon. ‘The group refused to recognize the -called “lily white” faction of the party that met in Atlanta March 26 and elected national delegates and alter- nates. Spokesmen for the colored group said Republican national headquarters will be asked to recognize their delegates chosen at the Macon convention. Mamie Williams, Savannah colored woman, was indorsed as national com- mitteewoman.

What happened is this, The Secre- tary went to Geneva convinced that his presence there at this moment would facilitate some kind of a political agree- ment among nations. On arriving in | Paris and then at Geneva he found that certain reports on which he had decided to make his trip abroad had been slightly exaggerated and that the European nations, and especially Prance, were not willing to sign anything yet without America’contributing something more than good will and suggestions. He also became convinced that the key to Europe’s troubles was the Franco- German misunderstanding. Supported by Britain’s idealistic pre- mief, Ramsay MacDonald, 2nd to a certain extent by Italy's foreign secre- tary, Dino Grandi, he endeavored to lay the foundations of a German- French rapprochment. To do this it was necessary to bring Herr Bruening and M. Tardieu together. A meeting between the two men at Mr. Stimson’s villa in the presence of Mr. Stimson and Ramsay MacDonald was arranged for last Tuesday. At the last minute, however, Tardieu tele- phoned from Paris that on account of the electoral campaign he will not be able to keep his appointment at Geneva. Stimson and MacDonald got busy and urged Tardiu to de his utmost to at- tend a meeting on Friday. “Diplomatic” Tliness.

Hardly had Secretary Stimson an- nounced his decision to leave Euro) han a spokesman of the British dele- gation intimated that Great Britamn will be forced to apply the “escalator clause” provided in the London naval E‘ct of 1930, whereby Great Britain allowed to increase her tonnage of | warships in case Italy’s and France's combined naval constructions exceed | the British tonnage. Since it has became obvious at | | Geneva that politically Prance and Italy are as far apart as ever, the British admiralty believes that both nations are going on with their naval Tace. Although Signor Mussolini’s budget for this year does not provide for any | appropriation for the navy, it is known | {in naval circles that besides his good | intentions there is also another reason for his action. Since last May the | Italian goverument has ordered from the various navy yards no less than 32 warships, destroyers, cruisers and sub- | | marines. Even if funds were appro- i priated for further naval constructions, there would be no room in the Italian navy yards to start the building of new ships. | The same thing applies to France. The French Chamber has just appro-| priated the necessary funds for a new 27,000-ton battleship, and France's pro- gram for the construction of new | cruisers, submarines and destroyers is probably the most comprehensive of any nation in the world. France has no less than 101 warships of all types, either building or appropriated for. Both France and Italy are spending in this year of limitation of arms conversations | over $100,000,000 for new constfuctions and replacements. 4 Great Britain was going slowly with her naval constructions because of the precarious situation of the treasury. The British have achieved a remarkable | recovery and the admiralty feels now that the country is in a position to spend the necessary moneys to offset the dangers of Britain bemng inferior in strength to Italy and France. —e STIMSBN POSTPONES GENEVA DEPARTURE AFTER CONFERENCE ¥ A-3 7, QUKKAS LIGHTNING!
