SHITH CONGERNED ABOUT NEW YORK Governor Turms to Political Siteation in His Home Albany, N. Y., Sept. 13 (P—The political situation in New York state, which Governor Smith’s managers figure ‘must line up for him in No- vember if he is to defeat Herbert Hoover, drew the attention today of the democratic presidential nomi- nee as state party leaders gathered for a conference with him late to- day at the executive mansion. There was to be a general discus- sion of plans preparatory to the state nominating convention at Rochester October 1 and 2 when a ticket will be named and a platform adopted. Gov. Smith has given no indication as to who he will favor for governor or any other post. No other engagements were on the governor's calendar for the day. Last night he broke his -long silence on what has been described as a “whispering campaign” against him by issuing a formal statement for publication today, branding as ‘slander” an accusation that he was “disgustingly intoxicated” at the New York State Fair at Syracuse August 30. Made public by the nominee at offices at the state capitol, the atement was headed: “Nailing a lie in the whispering campaign.” In- terwoven with the statement were three letters and a telegram dealing ‘with the incident which the governor had received from several persons and the names of two women. One from Byracuse and the other from Parkersburg, Va., were mentioned in connection with circulation of the charge. It was said on ' behalf of both women in their home cities last night that they had nothing to say on the subject at the present time. There were indications today that the democratic nominee might counter-attack in another direction soon in an effort to prove false oth- er derogatory statements said to have been circulated to injure his presidential chances. Meanwhile he will continue to work on state busi- ness and probably take a rest at the end of the week 50 as to be in good shape for departure Sunday on his first campaign speaking tour. Bray in Conference M. William Bray, new democratic state chairman, and Mrs. Caroline O’'Day, vice chairman, were among the party leaders here today for the conference with the governor. To- morrow the same leaders will go to Utica, home of Mr. Bray, to confer with all the democratic county chairmen and state committeemen and map out further plans of organ- ization. | Ig Gov. Smith lets drop the slight- est hint regarding his preference for a democratic gubernatorial candi- date to any of the state leaders, it is almost certain that his name will not be made public at this time. The governor has said repeatedly that he would not discuss the state ticket until the state convenion, when he plans to address it. Addressing the democratic state committee two weeks ago at Syra- cuse, he argued widespread efforts to get eligibles to register and de- clared a victory for the democrats for state offices and congress was just as important as a victory for him. He warned, however, that the state campaign should not become absorbed in the efforts to bring suc- cess to him in November. TELEVISION BETTER Schenectady, N. Y., Sept. 13 (®— Reception of a television drama broadcast Tuesday night by station WGY of the General Electric com- pany, was reported to the company by a Pittsfield, Mass., experimenter. In a telegram signed “Camilli,” the Pittsfield operator said that recep- tion of the television broadcast was “distinctly better after midnight in epite of static.” BISHOP URGES ALL 10 OPPOSE SMITH Methodist-Episcopalian is Against the Return of Liquor to This Country. Tacoma, Wash., 8Sept. 13 UP— Bishop Titus Lowe, of the Method- ist Episcopal church, yesterday urged every Methodist minister and layman to get into the political campaign this year in opposition to Alfred: E. 8mith, democratic presi- dential candidate, and “any move to bring liquor back to America.” ‘The bishop devoted most of his address to a call to ministers to make their power felt politically In this campaign and in dil “clvic and political activities for righteousness™ Referring to the speech of Joe T. Robinson, democratic candidate for vice president who had insisted that the churches keep out of the. poli- tical fight this year, Bishop Lowe said: “I do not think Joe Robinson has the right to put a clamp on the lips of any clear thinking minister of the church of Christ no matter if it does interfers with his plan to put some one in the White House.” MAPLE HILL NEWS Mrs. William Fitzell and family of Robbins avenue have returned home after spending the summer at their cottage in Niantic.

G. A.R. VET SERVING LIFE TERM IS RELEASED TO ATTEND ARMY REUNION Michigan City, Ind, Sept. 13— Once every year Henry Romine, | life termer in the Indiana peniten- | tiary, gets a little vacation of 30 days. Romine is 81 years old and a| Civil War veteran—the only Civil ‘War veteran in the country senmg a life term in- prison. And e\ery year the prison authorities give him a 30-day parole so that he can at. tend the national encampment of | the Grand Army of the Republic. Sixteen years ago Romine entered prison, convicted of murdering John and George McQuaid in a barroom brawl at Columbus, Ind. For eight years of his sentence he was con- fined as closely as any other pris- cner; then some parole board func- tionary got the idea that, after all, the country owed a little something to a man who had served it as bravely as Romine had. 80 Romine is now heading for Denver, where the G. A. R. holds its national encampment of 1928 from Sept. 16 to Bept. 25. No guard is going with him on his long trip. He will be free to go and come as he please until his short vacation is over. Prison offi- | cials are completely confident that he will be back when his time is up. Never yet has he betrayed the confidence reposed in him. A neatly tailored G. A. R. uni- | form has been obtained for him by prison officials, so that he can ap- pear among his former comrades in regular style. State headquarters of the G. A. R. are paying his ex- penses. There is nothing left for the old soldier to do but enjoy himself. Romine served throughout the Civil War with a regiment of Ohio volunteer infantry, distinguishing himself for his heroism at the bat- tle of Kenesaw Mountain. Beveral efforts have been made to obtain a pardon or parole for HENRY ROMINE kim, but brothers of the slain men have protested each time. COTTAGES PLUNDERED Burglars Have Desire for Wedding | Finery; Frightened Away by Maid In Third Residence, Newport, R. L, Sept. 13 #®— Burglars with a penchant for wed- ding finery plundered two cottages in an exclusive section here but were frightened from a third by a maid. The cottages, all adjoining, were those of Sidney J. Colford, Jr., of New York, Mrs. John O. O'Donell of Washington, D. C., and the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rawson L. Wood of New York. The thieves were three in num- ber. At the Colford place they ap- | propriated the greater part of the contents of suitcases and trunks that Mr. Colford had packed, pre- paratery to his marriage tomorrow to Miss Elizabeth Oakes of Brook- | line, Mass. At the O'Donell home next door, a fur coat and other belongings Of Miss Aileen O'Donell were taken. Miss O'Donell is to marry Harry W. Baltazzi of West Bay, Long Island, early in the fall. As the trio was about to enter the Wood home, the appearance of the O'Donell maid frightened the men and subsequent investigation re- vealed the thefts. The robbery occufred yesterdty. The principles of mass production were seen and practiced more than a century ago, and have been in continuous uss ever since. ES 1EST INSECTg P Flies reck with ; % becteris.
