NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, ROPERINGHARGE | et News Dopscbes From AR Grr the Wk ONE LLED, 2 ARE OF YADOD BOON Ford Reported Saying He Does Not Crave Presidency ‘Washington, D, C., July 25.— The Ford lead in presidential polls and the election of Magnus Johnson to the United States senate in Minnesota have aroused the friends of Willlam G. McAdoo. At conferences last week it was decided that Daniel C. Roper, | commissioner of internal revenue while Mr. McAdoo was secretary of the treasury, should manage the pre- convention campaign, and a leader was picked to take charge of the Mc- Adoo movement in each state. There has been no formal an- nouncement of the McAdoo candidacy and none is expected now. It is un- derstood here that his friends in im- | portant states are proceeding on their own motion to do certain preliminary work which they deem necessary to make them ready when the hat ap- pears in the ring. Five or six southern states already are organized for McAdoo. Henry Ford has polled only a few votes in any of these. . An interesting fact in connection with the McAdoo-Underwood contest for southern supporters is that former Postmaster-General Albert 8. Burle- son, who was & member of the Wilson cabinet with McAdoo, is working for Senator Underwood, with whom he served for years in the house. Burle- son was one of the McAdoo fans in the San Frapcisco convention three years ago. The Underwood boom, however, is held in check pending the address to be delivered by the senator betore the Alabama legislature next Tuesday. Ford Not Secking It Traverse City., Mich., July 25— Hen- ry Ford told a group of residents of Traverse City that he does not want to be president. He was at the We- quetong Boat club when asked about his, possible candidacy. “I have no desire to be president,” Mr. Ford said. “You see, I have a bigger job now.” There the discussion ended. Those behind the Ford for President idea, however, are not discouraged and are in hopes they can persuade Mr. Ford to take the presidency as a side line, or'at least make an effort to get the chance to do so. “BACHELOR” GIRL A BRIDE.

Kitchell Snow, attached to the 101st observa- tion squadron, Massachusetts Na- tional Guard, was Kkilled yesterday afternoon when his plane nose-dived 200 feet into the mud flats opposite the new Boston Air Port. Sergt. Oscar D. Lecailn of Somerville and Howard Carkin, 10 years old cousin of Lecalin, passengers in the plane, received minor injuries, This is the second fatality and the third accident at the field since the Air Port was opened about a month ago. Last Thursday John Stevens of Littleton, N. H., was drowned when an airplane driven by Lieut. Caldwell S. Phillips collapsed with a crumpled wing and dived 300 feet into Boston harbor. Stevens' body has not been recovered. According to officers at the Port, Snow decided to fly his own plane, a former British Avro ma- chine, in spite of the knowledge that the tank contained little gasoline, At an altitude of 200 feet the engine choked, Snow trying to turn to a dry landing spit. He then lost control of the machine. - When the plane struck the mud flats its pilot was crushed by the motor. Lecain and Carkin were no sooner removed from the debris than the wreckage burst into flames. The rising tide soon extinguished the flames, Idgut. R. C. Moffett, regular army officer stationed at the Air Port, who was in the alr at the time of the ac- cident, landed and took charge. Snow graduated from Harvard in 1921. During the war he was deco- rated with the Croix de Guerre as an ambulance driver. He later enlisted in the Royal Canadian Alr Force. During the recent National Guard en- campment at Camp Devens he was flying as an observer and director of artillery fire. He was a son of Fred- erick F. Snow, a Boston attorney and former member of the Maine house of representatives.
