But they argued that in spite of this they could muster 469 votes for their candidate, Mayor John Boyd Thacher of Albany, in foor fight. That would be five more than a ma- Jority. Their whole battle, they said, depended on what Curry's followers would do.

In a last minute effort to swing Tammany in line behind Thacher, they Arranged another conference with Curry. While McConey was reported determined to go thru with his plan of supporting Lehman, choice of both Governor Roosevelt and former Governor Smith, Curry still declined to commit himself at that time.

While the Democratic presidential nominee WAS considering whether he would accept the invitation of the convehtion to appear before it today in behalf of his favoriate candidate for a successor to his post. Smith was putting the finishing touches on a speech for the nomination of Lehman. Smith, who has declined since the Democratic national convention in Chicago to approve name the nomina- tion of the man who submitted his name to several national conventions, nominated Roosevelt for the governorship in both 1928 and 1930. In the platform adopted last night, the Democrats pledged loyalty to the ticket of Roosevelt and Garner and proposed that all resources of the state be mobilized to assure that no one should go cold, unsheltered or hungry during the emergency.

The platform also demanded that the Volstead act be amended at the earliest session of congress to permit the sale of light wines and beer. A little earlier they had adopted a resolution proposed by John F. Curry, the Tammany leader, promising that the Democrats in New York would work earnestly and unceasingly for the election Franklin D. Roosevelt and John N. Garner as president and vice president.

The speech of Governor Roosevelt that was scheduled for last night was put over until today. Neither Governor Roosevelt nor Smith attended the opening sessions of the convention and after the night meeting which SAW the platform was working speech he plans to adopted the word, spread that Smith make today to put Lehman in nomination.

Three hours later, at noon, Cohen appeared with Robert Gassman, proprietor of another cigar store in the vicinity of the Casino, and ordered Comosa to "get the hell off the boardwalk." Comosa bundled up the papers and returned the news company office. Isiah Matlack, attorney for Comosa, attempted to show there had been an agreement between the plaintiff and the news company, whereby the pany would deliver the papers as usual, Cohen providing a substitute to sell them because of the holiday which made it necessary for him to close the shop. Carr, news company manager, said he had three conversations with Cohen concerning the arrangements.

"At first," Carr "Cohen told me he wished no papers Saturday or Sunday, I told him our publishers wished to have papers on the stands 365 days a year, and Cohen finally said he would have a man there to sell papers in his place. "I went to the boardwalk about 10 a. m. and found Comosa still there.

Knox's charges, the statement said. based on "hearsay and idle gossip," and are a "brazen attempt to answer the cold facts of this case with a smoke screen." Stern demanded that Knox name the person or persons who committed the alleged forgeries, pointing out that there were only two petition canvassers, he and Earl. Knox Returns Witness Knox is scheduled to continue his listing of invalid names when he resumes the witness stand in the district court room Friday at 1.30 p. m. One of the important factors in the case is the question of whether Knox WAS legally justified in disallowing names on the petition which were followed by addresses not the same as the addresses in the registry books.

On the stand, Knox admitted that he looked up each name in the registry book for the district corresponding to the address in the petition. If the name was not in the book, he ruled it out. Ward Kremer, counsel for Stern, is expected to argue that many of names so discarded were found in registry books for other districts of the township and therefor legally registered voters. Yesterday Kremer objected to Knox's testimony as to forgeries and misrepresentation of the petition to signers, on the ground that the testimony was based on hearsay. He had read into the record the contention of William J.

O'Hagan, of Cook and Stout, representing the township, that O'Hagan considered the witness' replies evidential. Knox covered about half the petition yesterday, and will probably finish his testimony Friday afternoon. Several more hearings are anticipated before the testimony is complete and ready to go to the supreme court. SEEK FLOOD "DEATH CAR" Fear California Tragedy Cost 29 Lives, Including 15 In Freight.

"The morale of the country is dead, no longer do girls or young men scorn liquor as they did in the days before the Eighteenth amendment. They welcome the chance of going out to get drunk, because they are told that they cannot have liquor, not because they want it. The youth of today thinks it is smart. All evil comes from that damnable commandment 'thou shall not "In Chicago, Capone's gang control the beer racket, investigation has shown that a revenue to them of 200.000 a week is returned from Cook county alone, of which $2,000,000 is spent for protection. The police know the racket but do not step in as the law is unpopular and impractical, New York is even worse than Chicago, with its hijacking wars.

Once the gang has a policeman in their power, he can not refuse to a thing that they want him to do and there are few that are not in their power today. The answer to this is that you, cannot enforce the Eighteenth amendment. "We have a corrupt government, A nation breaking an unenforceable law, gangdom ruling and we are powerless te stop it, because there is a higher power than the government ruling the rackets with money, which is the root of all evil. I am pleading with the people at large to kill the Eighteenth amendment and I am as dry withered leaf." Mrs. Georgianna Miles, chairman of the organization, presided.
