The United States Coast Guard had quite apparently returned to its customary routine of watohing rum runners and awaiting calls for assistance from the sea. That Federal agents were seeking the whereabouts of a former Falmouth resident and rum runner was learned. This man, whe served a term of three' to five years In the Massachusetts State Prison, has been missing from Falmouth for a' year and a half. He is believed to he in New York or working off New Jersey.

A Federal agent was informed by a local man that this exconvict had approached a hip-pocket bootlegger in Falmouth and suggested his coming to New York, where money could be made outside the rum racket. Detectives were desirous of questioning the missing man and learning what this new racket in New York might be and whether it was kidnaping. By JOHN BARRY FALMOUTH, April 13-Capo Cod, In the vicinity of Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound and Marthas Vineyard section which have buzzed with excitement for 10 days as Coast Guardsmen, United States Treasury Department Secret Service agents, local and Massachusetts State Police combed land and sea In the hope of locating the kidnaped Lindbergh baby quieted down today. At diverse points small clews were followed In line with the policy of running down all information, no matter how slight. But with practically every angle of the case eliminated here, there was nothing to indicate the whereabouts of kidnapers or baby.

No Clew Gives Hope No one in official circles denied the possibility of success attending the search here, but on the other hand there was no one to extend the slightest ray of hope to anxious queries on the progress of the investigation. Chief William A. Mercer of Falmouth made a 30-mile tour of the coastline of his jurisdiction this afternoon. He and his man had completed, the day previous, their examination 'of Summer Cottages, camps and closed hotels. A final check on the coastline buildings today Included a visit to a shack used in the past by a short-wave radio operator suspected of signalling to Rum Row.

The shack was vacant and nearby residents stated that no one had been seen in the neighborhood of the house since Nov 21, 1931. A break in a Summer cottage in West Falmouth on Buzzards Bay, the fourth of a series reported this week, was investigated but no connection with the Lindbergh case was found. Sloop Is Identified A mysterious 40-foot sloop which appeared In Falmouth Harbor daring the night was identified as the Grace and Lucy, owned by a Falmouth resident and used for flounder fishing. The great expanse of turbulent sea running out to No Mans Land was deserted this morning as Coast Guard JAFSIE IS STILL HOPEFUL OF WORK Continued From the First Page tensive efforts involving numerous go-betweens were being made to conduct renewed communication with the kidnapers. A closed car bearing a carefully dressed middle-aged, bespectacled man parked opposite the Condon home after maneuvering about with its lights cut off.

The occupant, apparently nervous, crossed the street and walked past the educator's residence after hesitating VN t. CHICAGO, April 13 (A. the Democrats had to pick their Presidential nominee tonight, and only thoaa State that had already picked convention delegates could vote, th first ballot would look something like this: Gov Franklin 216 Senator James Hamilton Lewis. 50 James A Reed 36 Gov William Murray 23 Alfred 1 In doubt, 104 This was the etanding of the pledged and claimed delegates, revised to Include yesterdays primaries and State conventions. It included 26 instructed for Roosevelt by Kentuckys State convention.

It included 16 from Nebraska, where Roosevelt ran far ahead of Murray and Speaker John N. Garner in a preference vote, and It included the favorite son support of Illinois for Lewis, 50 delegates which put him In second place. Great Gains for Hoover The returns today also showed President Hoover making great stridej toward renominatiiou. In conventions, Missouri instructed 41 delegates having 33 votes for fcim and Florida 16. His supporters claimed 17 as a result of Nebraskas primary and a large share of the 50 uninstructed delegates elected in Illinois.

Every county reporting in South Carolina on county conventions held yesterday indorsed the President. J. C. Hambrlght, chairman of the Stats Republican party organization, predicted South Carolina would be solidly for Hoovers nomination. Without Illinois or South Carolina, Hoovers supporers could count off 336 pledged and claimed delegates.

In the Illinois primary, Ex-Gov Len Small, Republican, and Judge Henry Horner, Democrat, were assured the nomination for Governor with good-sized pluralities. It appeared that Small would total about 75,000 votes more than Omer N. Custer, the second candidate in the five-man fight. Horners plurality over Michael L. Igoe was estimated at 123,000.

1 Votes Sure for Lewis Illinois elected 50 delegates to each national convention yesterday, all of them uninstructed. The sweeping victory of the State Democratic organization supporting Horner assured Senator Lewis the States support for President, at least on the early ballots. Supporters of Roosevelt have said they could swing most of Illinois votes after the first ballot. The Illinois delegation's position In the Republican convention was less clear. The Presidential preference vote was meaningless.

No designations appeared on the ballots. Most of the delegates did not indicate their preference or platform. Most of the delegates, however, Were members cf party factions and most of the factions were regarded as pro-Hoover. Only one definite slate was in the field for Republican delegates. It was anti-prohibition and anti-Hoover.

Incomplete returns indicated 11 of its 15 members defeated and three of those who were elected also members of the harmony faction supposed to favor Hoover. Illinois State conventions meet April 22, the Republicans picking 11 additional national delegatee and the Democrats eight. Big Lead in Nebraska In the Nebraska preference primary three-fourths of the States precincts gav Roosevelt a lead of nearly 2 to 1 over the combinec- vote of Garner and Murray. Charles W. Bryan had apparently won the Democratic nomination for Governor, but the Republican nomination was still a battle between Dwight Griswold and Kinneth S.

BiBr IN RESTAURANT STURTS SEARCH HEBE Police Are Told That Child Resembled Lindberghs' A telephone call from a man who said he could not visit police until today, last night started Boston police off on another angle of the Lindbergh case. The caller said two women and a man, all apparently Italians, had stopped during the afternoon for food at a restaurant in Hanover st.

North Dnd, near Richmona t. A baby with light curly hair was with thq trio and resembled the Lindbergh baby. Struck by the dissimilarity in appearance of the adults the child, the informant took the registration number of the automobile and turned over hls information to police. The automobile was described as- yellow sedan with Massachusetts registration. The registration could not be traced last night, as the machine has so recently been registered that its numbers has not yet teen placed in the compiled list.

A description of the automobile. Its occupants and the registration numbers were sent by police teletype over New England. Meanwhile, police of the Hanover-st Station were trying to find the restaurant in which the group ate. believing the party may have paid its bill with 53, 510 or $20 bill which could be checked with the Lindbergh ransom list. FLEISCHER REPORTED IN STORE, AT ST JOHN Gangster Bought Liquor Last Week, Says Clerk Special Dispatch to the Globe ST JOHN, April 13 Fugitive gangland chief of Detroits underworld Harry Fleischer, whose name has been linked with the kidnaping of Charles A.

Lindbergh Jr has been seen in this city, police learned authentically tonight. Rumored to have been in this vicinity last week, Fleischers picture in a local newspaper this afternoon led to the discovery by a Government employe that he had actually done business with the racketeer. George Armstrong, clerk in a local liquor store, recalled serving a man who he affirms resembled the wanted man in practically every detail. The alleged Fleischer, accompanied by another man, entered the New Brunswick Liquor Control Boards Dock-st branch Thursday or Friday of last week, checked over the price lists and then purchased a quantity of liquor. Fleischer was wearing a blown overcoat and talked with slight foreign accent.

A companion clerk, William Dacey, also recognized the picture as that of the gangster, as does Charles P. Hamm, manager of the store in question. All are positive they were dealing With Fleischer. Royal Canadian Mounted Police are pursuing this latest clew, but believe it may lead to an Atlantic crossing trail. The liner Duchess of Atholl sailed for Liverpool Friday and the gangster could have slipped out Canada on her.

Steamship, railway and automobile outlets from St John and Halifax are closely guarded and the Maine border is being carefully watched. New Jersey State Police today Informed St John authorities the hunted man was known to have been here cn a certain day last week. A week ago Saturday Fleischer was reported traced to Toronto. He is said to have fled to Montreal and from there here. He is believed determined to reach England.

HINES ADVOCATES CAUTION ON OFFICERS' ACT REPEAL WASHINGTON, April 13 (A. Caution in acting on legislation to repeal the Emergency Officers Retirement act was urged before the House Military Affairs Committee today by Frank T. Hines, Veterans Administrator. Meawhile, L. OConnor Roberts, solicitor of the Veterans Administration, favored before a Senate committee the enactment of the King bill to provide more stringent requirements for payment of disability retired pay to emergency officers.

The measure would remove between 3000 and 3500 emergency officers from the rdlls and save approximately $3,000,000 a year. It would require actual proof of service-connected disability. Hines testified on a bill by Representative Blanton, Dem, of Texas. VINSON WOULD ABOLISH TWp POSTS FOR AVIATION WASHINGTON, April 13 (A. Vinson 'of the House Naval Committee today Introduced bills to abolish the offices of Assistant Secretaries of Navy and War for aeronautics and to authorize the President to dispense with unnecessary Naval shore establishments.

Under the measure covering Naval shore establishments, the President would be authorized to dispose of or close such Naval shore property as the Secretary of the Navy may certify as no longer required.

Roosevelt of New York for the Democratic: Presidential nomination, said today he will accept the nomination for the Vice Presidency if it should be tendered.

JEFFERSON QUALITIES FOUND III ROOSEVELT Mayor Curley Addresses Rallies and Dinner Here Mayor Curley was principal speaker last night at the annual birthday dinner of the ThomVs Jefferson League of Massachusetts, Inc, which was held at Hotel Bellevue.

The members present, numbering about 200, Included many State Senators and Representatives. Mayor Curley presented Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, as the Thomas Jefferson of today. He said that Gov Roosevelt is the only man in America who can' restore the constitutional rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the American people. Mayor Curleys speech was broadcast over Station WLOE.

The Mayor arrived shortly after 10, having spoken at rallies in Quincy and Brockton during the evening. Dictation From Abroad Other speakers were Representative Roland D. Sawyer of Ware, Dr Joseph Santosuosso of Boston, Mayor John J. Murphy of Somerville, Charles H. McGlue of Lynn and Thomas J.

Boynton of Lynn. The presiding officer at the meeting was Pres Whitfield L. Tuck. During his speech. Mayor Curley said that he wondered what Jefferson and Hickory Jackson would say to see foreign bankers dictating the policies of this country, looting the Federal Treasury and dissipating the funds of the State treasuries.

His speech continued in part: Thomas Jefferson, after a lifetime of observation and service to the people said that The hope of the Nation lies in the tillers of the soil. Just a few nights ago over the radio Gov Roosevelt called the attention of the country to the deplorable condition of our farmers and pointed out that unless they are able to consume the goods and wares of the factory, no progress out of this economic morass is possible. When the tillers of the soil and the workers at the bench are unproductive or unemployed the very foundation of the country Is affected and chaos Is inevitable. Year of Opportunity This is the golden year of opportunity for the Democrats to place in the White House a worthy, fit, descendant and disciple of those principles inaugurated and practiced by the great and loved founder of Democracy, and unless we seize that opportunity the Democratic party is consigned to virtual oblivion. In my opinion, which I hope Is your opinion and conviction, Franklin D.

Roosevelt is the one man to lift our party and our country out of the maws of avarice and greed which brought despair and despondency to millions of our fellow citizens. Urging women voters of Massachusetts to stand together and work for the nomination and election of Gov Roosevelt, several at the noonday rally of Democratic women at Hotel Touraine yesterday predicted victory for the Democratic party in the coming election. It Is a mistake to cast at the fly on the window pane and forget there is a larger view, said Mrs Dorothy Whipple Frye, daughter of the late Sherman L. Whipple. We should not divide against ourselves.

We should pull together for the cause of the country and of the party. We have only to look about us to see that the cause we are working for is a worthy one. We have a vivid realization of the importance of drastio action when we see what the underworld can achieve in the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. Bootlegging and kidnaping go unpunished, while stealing a loaf of bread for a starving family is taken cognizance of. 1000 at Brockton Rally Other speakers were Mrs Mabel Worthy, president of the Massachusetts Colored Womens Democratic Club; Miss Oliva Johnston, also of the Colored Womens Democratic Club, and Julian D.

Caillaux, former Premier oi France, in a letter received today oy Chairman Somers, expressed himself as in complete agreement with the House Coinage Committees advocacy of an international monetary conference.

He said he was in complete agree-ment with the initiative which you have taken in demanding the calling of a conference which would fully study the monetary question. SOS Covered Sound With Coast GuardUraft at Time By DOROTHY G. WAYMAN WOODS HOLE, April 13-The theory that the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby were prevented by weather conditions April 2 and 3 from fulfilling their promise to return the child at sea off the coast of Southeastern Massachusetts was indorsed tonight as likely by Commander Roderick 'Patch, commanding Section Base 18, Woods Hole. Commander Patch, who has steadily told newspaper reporters that he knows nothing officially of the case, commented that his experience inclined him to believe that a small b6at attempting to keep a rendezvous on the water during the week-end of April 2 would have found the gales and high seas an obstacle. His recollection of the weather at that time was that before it had moderated newspaper publicity had attracted wide attention to this area which might have discouraged the kidnapers from carrying out their promise.

Commander Patch commented that by a coincidence on Saturday, April 2, the disaster of the collier William C. Atwater, which sent out an after striking Sow and Pigs light vessel in Vineyard Sound, bad called several Coast Guard patrol boats into the area. In addition to the CG-149 in that area on regular patrol and the destroyer MacDougall, out on patrol, the CG-974 and the cutter Acushnet were dispatched from Woods Hole and the power surfboat from Cutterhunk Station. It was considered reasonable that the kidnapers would have been alarmed by the presence of Government crait in such numbers. 1 Commander Patch also said that tho Coast Guard boats from Woods Hole sent to the aid of the collier saw no small vessel such as has been described in news reports as used by the kidnapers.

Even before Col Charles A. Lindbergh left New Jersey, the area had been inspected by the Coast Guard who could have told him, had he asked, that no small boat bearing baby awaited him In Vineyard Sound. PITTMAN PROPOSAL ON COURT DEFEATED Senate Committee Refuses to Ask Interpretation WASHINGTON, April 13 (A. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee today rejected, 11 to the Pittman resolution proposing to ask for an interpretation from other signatory powers of the meaning of the Root protocol for American adherence to the World Court. Chairman Borah planned to poll the remainder of the committee but the 11 votes against the resolution were enough to defeat it.

The aim of the resolution was to determine whether the Root protocol covers a reservation adopted by the Senate in 1926, under which the court could not trender advisory opinions upon matters in which this country claimed an interest without the approval of the United States Government. Secretary Stimson has taken the view that the Root formula completely covers the reservation. The Senators who voted for the Pittman resolution were: Borah, Johnson, La Robinson of Indiana, Glenn, Pittman, Lewis and Shlpstead. Those opposed were: Capper, Reed, Fess, Vandenberg, Cutting, Swanson, Robinson of Arkansas, Walsh of Montana, Harrison, Wagner and Connally. The committee reached no agreement today for a time to vote on the Root protocol itself.

The question of further hearings was discussed but no agreement was made. NEW YORK TAXI DRIVER CAN IDENTIFY KIDNAPER NEW YORK, April 13 (A. P.l The Sun said today that at least one person besides Dr John F. Condon may be In a position to Identify the man to whom the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom was paid. This man is a taxi driver who delivered a note to Dr Condon on March 12, telling him wher to go to undertake negotiations for payment of the ransom and return of the baby.

The Sun says the taxi mans description of the person who gave him the note and Dr Condons description of the man to whom he gave the money tally closely and Indicate the entire negotiations may have been conducted by one man. Police have not located the taxi driver and the Sun says he asked the paper to withhold hls name. INTERCOASTAL SHIP 3ILL OPPOSED AT NEW YORK NEW YORK, April 13 (A. Opposition to a bill which would empower the Shipping Board to regulate and control intercoastal shipping, now pending in Congress, was expressed by W. H.

Chandler, chairman of the executive committee of the Shippers Conference of Greater New York today. Chandler, speaking; at a meeting of the conference, said the Shipping Board wants to set up another Interstate Commerce Commission through the bill. The bill, sponsored by Senator Hiram Johnson of California, he aald, is now awaiting action by a Senate committee. Chandler said the principal objection to the measure was that It failed to set up a suitable yardstick by which rates could be measured. RICHARD F.

Suit Not Impressing Archibald Wont you ever look with favor upon my suit? Anna belle I didnt want to appear rude, but it looks to roe as if it needs cleaning and pressing. Chelsea Record. Demanded by Robinson DENVER, Aprif 13 (A. W. H.

Murray of Oklahoma charged here today that money waa being apent to buy Democratic convention votes for Gov Franklin P. Roosevelt of New York, and spiked reports he was abandoning his own campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. I have made statements about the buying of Votes, Murray told newspapermen. I made them in private conversations. I did not intend for them to be made public at the moment.

However, I did say that money was being spent in North Dakota to buy the States delegation for Roose velt, and I said, also In private conversations, that some money was spent for this purpose in Iowa. To Take Up Charges Again Murray said he did not wish to go into detail about tlese charges at the present, Ill take them up later, you may be sure, he added. As for myself, I would rather go down to defeat in righteouq cause than ride the band wagon into Wall Street. A previous utterance by the Governor in regard to Roosevelt expenditures in Nebraska brought another request in Washington today by Senator Robinson, Rep, of Indiana, for a Senatorial Investigation. Murray was quoted last Friday as saying in a speech at Norfolk, Neb, that $50,000 in Eastern money had been sent into Nebraska to win delegates for Roosevelt.

He explained the next day he had not intended to convey that idea, but realized later the audience had misunderstood him. Flatly Denies Quitting Gov Murray heatedly denied that the abrupt ending of his campaign tour in Oregon in order to rush back to Oklahoma meant that he was dropping out of the Presidential race. "I have no Idea of quitting, he said. The Oklahoman added he would resume his campaighing in Ohio after his return to Oklahoma City, but that the Ohio speaking engagements had not been definitely fixed. A statement by Atty Gen J.

Berry King of Oklahoma, his political foe, that he had hit upon an excuse to call his campaign to a- halt drew fire. A hell of a lot the Attorney General knows about my plans, he exploded. Sharp Debate in Senate WASHINGTON, April 13 (A. demand in the Senate today by Senator Robinson, P.ep, of Indiana, for investigation of Presidential campaign expenditures, particularly of those in behalf of Gov Roosevelt of New York, stirred a sharp debate. The Indiana Republican read a newspaper story quoting Gov Murray of Oklahoma as charging that $30,000 was sent into Nebraska for yesterdays primary in behalf of the Roosevelt ticket.

This Is a very serious charge and unquestionably should be investigated, he said. As he launched into a review of the recent court action filed In New York by a signer of a Democratic campaign fund note of 1928, Robinson was halted by a roar of Democratic voices. Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, finally obtained recognition and Insisted that Senator Trammel, Dem, of Florida, who had yielded the floor to Robinson of Indiana, decline to permit a political speech. Trammell then insisted upon claiming recognition in his own right and Robinson of Indiana said he would speak later. 'Senator Thomas, Dem, of Oklahoma, broke in to state that Gov Murray had denied the accuracy of the newspaper story quoted by Robinson in reference to the Nebraska Roosevelt campaign fund charge.

Robinson of Indiana asked Senatoi Dickinson, Iowa Republican, before the Democrats broke up the speech whether he hoped for early action on his solution directing a Senate investigation of Presidential and Senatorial campaign funds. Dickinson said the resolution was before the Elections Committee and had been delayed because of the Heflm-Bankhead Senatorial election contest before the committee. He added he hoped for early authorization of the inquiry. 1 1 Asks About Inquiry Robinson of Indiana had just begun a recital of the court action filed by P. F.

Kenny In New York alleging that notes aggregating $70,000 were signed by him in 1928 upon the gsjur-ance of Democratic Chairman Raskob that the signers would never be held responsible, wlen the Democrats broke in. Robinson renewed in the Senate this afternoon a plea that an investigation be made of press reports quoting Gov Murray as saying $50,000 was taken into Nebraska to finance the Presidential primary campaign of Gov Roosevelt. Robinsons statements came in urging the Senate to adopt Immediately the resolution of Senator Dickinson, setting up a special committee to go into 1932 campaign expenses and contributions. The Indianan also referred to the Mara-Kenny note case in New York, which he said should be investigated, on the basis of reports in the press. DES MOINES.

Ia, April 13 (A. J. S. Wolfe of Des Moines, one of the managers of the Roosevelt Campaign, tonight emphatically denied any money was being spent In Iowa in behalf of the New York Governor. Smith Toned Hls Speech Down on Others Advice WASHINGTON, April 13 (A.

Alfred E. Smith left out several paragraphs at a clip in delivering his speech. It was understood that Harry F. Byrd and others, who had seen Smiths manuscript In advance, advised him to tone It down somewhat. This might explain why the New York ex-Governor deleted the paragraph in which he said he preferred to see the convention stay? all Summer to obtain a strong candidate with a strong platform.

Democrats in and out of Congress have bent their efforts toward a harmonious convention, contending a long deadlock such as the 1924 Madison Square Garden affair was what the Republicans wanted. Byrd and others declared tonight the Republicans would not have their wish. In hls prepared speech Smith had also said he would rather have the convention remain in cession all Summer than nominate a weak candidate with a half-baked platform. But ha skipped this in delivery.

Next Test in Michigan The next test of Roosevelt strength will come tomorrow when the Michigan Democratic State, convention chooses that State's OS delegates. While not listing any In th Roosevelt column until the delegates actually have been selected, those at the Governors campaign headquarters said they were sure of getting the Michigan delegation.

DETROIT, April 13 (A. cans all over the State held county convention today and wherever a Presidential prefeience was expressed the indorsement went to President Hoover.

So started to repair it. Again he missed fire; again he named Allred E.

No Activity on Vineyard A visit to Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs disclosed no activity -whatsoever In these regions in connection with the Lindbergh cane, and while authori. ties had discussed the reported presence of two women on the island connected, according to Jafsie, with the kidnaping, no signs of these women were found in the townships of Dukes County. Capt Charles Van Amburgh of the Massachusetts Department of Safety, to whom was given the old army canteen and the baby's shoes found on tho beach of Waquoit Bay by Harry Scan-nell, a scallop fisherman, and his son, Roland, made a brief examination of the articles today in Barnstable where ha Is a witness in the murder case.

The shoe wag dismissed from the case, as it apparently had been in the water several months. The manufacturer and sales agent of the canteen was to be checked as well as fingerprints. Slight hope was held out that the canteen would be cf any assistance. The general official attitude on the Cape today was that everything possible had been done here and until there were indicetions from New Jersey that assistance would be needed here, police, detectives and the Coast Guard would wait orders. Another phase of the private search for the baby came into prominence when police admitted that John Hughes Curtis, one of the Norfolk, Va, trio of intermediaries, had visited Col Lindbergh again yesterday.

Both he and Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage, his associate, saw Col Lindbergh Monday. Announcement of their visit was made at Norfolk by the third member of the trio, Very Rev H. Dobson-Peacock. Schoeffel in Vienna Maj Charles H.

Schoeffel of the New Jersey State Police unexpectedly arrived in Vienna on the secret mission connected with the case which took him abroad several weeks ago. A man giving the name of D. D. Dickerson of New York was detained at St Thomas, Ont, when police found he had letters addressed to the Lindberghs. He explained he merely was sending suggestions for locating the child and the importance of this development appeared negligible.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were asked to aid in apprehending Harry Fleischer, Detroit gangster long sought for questioning and now believed to be seeking to board a steamer for abroad, possibly from Halifax, S. A mystery message saying the child was aboard a boat at a certain point in New Jersey proved to be another erroneous tip, upon Investigation. Dean Sees Progress Made NOFOLK. Va, April 13 (A. optimistic Episcopal dean, Very Rev H.

Dobson-Peacock, today said he had reason to believe progress was being made by his Norfolk associates in their effort to recover the kidnaped Lindbergh baby. While refusing to divulge the reasons for his belief. Dean Dobson-Peacock admitted that he had received a communication since yesterday from John Hughes Curtis, who has been absent on a mysterious mission for several days. It was learned that Curtis visited Col Charles A. Lindbergh last night, but the whereabouts of Rear Admiral Guy H.

Burrage, third of the Norfolk negotiators, has not been revealed. Dean Dobson-Peacock, radiating optimism, Interpreted the prolonged absence of his associates as indicative of progress and a new contact with those they believe to be the kidnapers of the child. I would imagine that new contact has been made, but I dont know," he said. It was reported several days ago that Mr Curtis had visited Col Lindbergh and the report of the second visit was accepted as another sign of progress by the dean.
