McAdoo was to lead the California movement for him. John O. Davis, a member of tic northern California committee of five representing the dry faction headed by McAdoo, announced that Walsh's name would be entered for the presidential primary May 1 and that John B. Elliott of Los Angeles, candidate for the senate at the last clection, had informed him that the Montanan had no objcction. Other Men in Race The mnames of Governor Smith and Senator Reed of Miasouri, the latter now campaigning in Cali- fornia, already have Leen entered, assuring a three-cornered fight in that state for its 26 delegates to the Houston convention. A similar battle is in sight in Wisconsin, where Senator Walsh born and won a B. L. degree at the State university. Miles Riley. of Madison, is authority for t statement that nomination papers for the Montanan will be filed be- fore the deadline at midnight to- night. Reed entered the primary lists there yesterday and Smith pre- viously had done so. Plans Not Announced While McAdoo and Walsh, both in Washington, have yet to make any announcement of their plans, the movement launching Walsh as @ dry candidate in California was not wholly unexpected by those democrats who are hostile to the candidacy of Governor 8mith, not because of his religion but becauss of his attitude toward prohibition Walsh, a confirmed dry, has heen mentioned before in discussions among the anti-Smith democrats i possible candidate whom they could support at Houston. He was perinunent chairman of the 1924 democratic convention at Madison Square Garden, where Me- Adoo, also a dry, locked horns with Smith in the memorable deadloc for the nomination. The former secretary of the treasury's ar nouncement that he would not be a candidate this year is looked upon as rendering him free to support a man of his own choice, although there have been indications from some of his followers that efforts might be made to draft him. Reed and Smith supporters al- ready have organized in California. The Davis announcement said a list of delegates pledged to Walsh would be announced soon and that they would constitute “a solid and unbroken phalanx of dry, progres- (Continued on Page 15) FOSTER MOTHER WILL STAY WITH YOUNGSTER If Joseph Boyer Is De- ported She Says She’ll Go With Him Detroit, March 3 ® — If four- year-old Joseph Boyer, erstwhilc heir to millions, is deported from the Unfted States, Boyer, his foster-mother and wife of the son of Joseph Boyer, chair- man o fthe board of the Burroughs Adding Machine company, will go with him.

Brumby, who was declared by a naval court of In- quiry to be unfit to command the control force of the United States fleet, in a statement made public today declafed that to date he had not received instructions to return to Washington. The admiral, who returned here from maneuvers near the Perlus islands, discussed the findings of the court in regard to the S-4 disaster off Provincetown where he directed salvage operations. | Admiral Brumby said he was not lat the scene of the disaster as an expert but to give orders and di- Irect the work systematically, which {was exactly what he did. He aus- serted that he had an expert sent out by the navy department to ad- |vise and assist in directing the | work. Detalls Not Essentlal “It was unnecessary that T know cvery defail of the construction of the submarine to direct operations there,” the admiral s T will admit that T was given advice by experts sent there by the naval an- (thorities at Washington and that 1 followed that advice. It was the only logical thing to do." There was no dissension betwe officers as to what should Lo done, he asserted. They conferred from time to time, he declared, and umed responsibility for the worlk, giving orders and secing that they were obeyed, In many e Admiral Brum- by continued, “my orders were at the suggestion of officers lower in command than myself. This is just What anyone else in such a posi- tion would have done. I can ofter no excuses nor apologies in that respect for T believed then, and 1 believe now, that T did right.”” Referring to his testimony before the hoard of inquiry, Admiral Brumby said that before he summoned to appear Admiral E. H. Campbell, naval judge advocate, had informed him as to points upon which he would be called to testify. Tater, he stated, when called be- [fore the court he was closely ques tioned regarding many minute de- tails of the disaster . detalls of submarine ,Which he was unable to answer at that time. Admiral Brumby contin- ued: “It might have been possible that I made the statement before the {court that I did not know anything about submarines, If T did, T meant that I did not have intimate knowl- edge of submarine construction, Admiral Brumby said he had sent full detalls as to his position was to the navy department by mail and | (that this should have Washington more than ‘ago. reached 1wo weeks UNDERGOES OPERATION | Tampa, Fla, March 3 (®—Irvine | Hadley, pitcher for the Washington n operation for appendicitis per- [was taken il late last night. 3 (P —Rear Ad-| construction, | Senators, was recovering today from | | formed early this morning.
