a THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1928: 2 3 FIGHT SMITH TO GET TWO-THIRDS VOTE Opponents Can Prevent His Nomination by Holding 367 Votes Together. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. By HENRY SUYDAM. Washington, March 29-The belief is quite general, as a consequence of developments in the past few weeks, that Governor Alfred E.

Smith will be nominated for President at the Democrate Convention on an early ballot, but where he is to get the requisite two-thirds of 1,100 votes is a problem nobody has been able to figure out. The Governor, at the peak of his strength at Madison Square Garden in 1924, had 368 votes, which was 182 short of a simple majority and 364 short the two-thirds vote required to nominate. William G. McAdoo's highest vote was 530, which was 20 short of a majority and 202 short of two-thirds. Neither Smith nor McAdoo in 1924 ever received even a simple majority of the votes.

Different Situation This Year. The situation this year is, of course, quite different. Mr. McAdoo is not a candidate; his influence has dwindled and he is now pinning his hopes of defeating Smith on Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana.

Smith, on the other hand, is immeasurably stronger than he was four years ago, and part of this strength comes from the complacence with which various States in the South are now viewing his probable nomination. The Smith strength in 1924 came from the Eastern and North Central States. He had practically no support from the Southern and border States, the Mountain States or the Pacific Coast. Put in another way, 80 percent of the Eastern delegates and 36 percent of the North Central delegates were for Smith, but he had no strength in the South or on the Pacific Coast. Change in Southern Sentiment.

The sentiment of the South has undergone considerable change in the past four years. There still exists the most bitter opposition to Smith's nomination, but the opposition this year is not unified. For example, information reaches Washington to the effect that Kentucky and Tennessee wlil be for Smith. North Carolina has decided on an uninstructed delegation and representatives of that State say that a considerable number of North Carolina votes will go for Smith. Louisiana is for Smith and it is probable that Arkansas will support him.

Wilbur Marsh, former treasurer of the Democratic Committee, predicts that Smith would carry Iowa, even against the favorite son candidacy of Edwin T. Meredith. But the total of all these votes is only a little over 100. Harder to Beat Smith This Year. The problem of defeating Smith is more difficult this year than in 1924, due to the fact that there is no outstanding candidate around whom the anti-Smith forces may rally.

Senator James A. Reed of Missouri has met with a cold reception on his expedition into the West. Senator Walsh of Montana is not making much progress. It is conceded that if Reed or Wash could win in the primaries in such States as California, Oregon and Wisconsin, this would be a serious setback for Smith, but indications are that nothing of this kind will happen Forlorn Hope of Favorite Sons. There is in the field against Smith of about ten "favorite son" candidates.

It is not certain whether all will allow their names to be presented. Most these candidacies represent forlorn hopes. The "favorite son" candidates represent 254 votes, on the basis of giving each man vote of his own State. Some of them, of course, will have support from outside their own States, and possibly considerable support. combination of 367 votes will prevent Smith's nomination.

total of the entire Southern hind border States is 342, but the oposition Smith in this category of votes is nowhere near that figure. On the 76th ballot at Madison Square Garden Smith had He is certain this year of practically the entire East, which has 282 votes. The North Central States have 334 votes, of which Smith in 1924 received 121. He will have to cut heavily into this bloc of 334 votes if he is to be nominated. The three Pacific Coast States have 50 votes, which were solid for McAdoo in 1924.

The Mountain States have 60 votes. 9 of which went to Smith in 1924. The South, with its 334 votes, will break this year as it did not in 1924. The Smith people figure that over 100 Southern votes already are in sight for Smith. Need 734 Votes to Nominate.

The vote required to nominate is 734. The Smith supporters do not pretend to claim that this vote is already in prospect. Nobody has been able to figure out where the break is coming that will roll up this two-thirds majority for Smith. 'The Smith strategy is based on the aszumption that if Smith reaches beyong a simple majority, he can be held at that high level until Southern opposition caves in. A good deal will depend on what Western dry States.

If Senator Montana, an ardent Dry, makes in showing Senator Walsh of a Walsh gets any considerable number of Western delegates, the "favorite son" movement in the South may prove formidable. It would be possible for pro-Walsh delegates to combine with the "favorite sons" to block Smith's nomination. If the South remains tied up to the various second-string candidates, and if Walsh is able to make any kind of showing, it may be that 367 votes can be held together against Smith, which would defeat him.

CONVICT RETRACTS CONFESSION THAT HE KILLED KEEPER Declares in Court He Changed Story, Protecting Two Pals, After "Third Degree." Trenton, N. March 29 (AP)- Charles Sullivan, State prison convict, today retracted his "confession" of slaying Joseph H.

Tinney, a deputy keeper, on the morning two other prisoners, Harry Baxter and Frank Wunkowski, attempted flight. Baxter and Wunkowski are being tried before Supreme Court Justice Trenchard and a jury in Mercer Court for the murder of the guard. On stand late yesterday Sullivan admitted that he smuggled four guns, dynamite and 200 rounds of ammunition into the prison by carrying it in his boots when he returned with other prison laborers. Prosecutor English rose as soon as court convened and announced that one of the witnesses wanted to change his story. Harvey Knight, counsel for Wunkowski, objected but was overruled.

Thereupon Prosecutor English asked point-blank: "Did you fire the shot?" "I said I fired a shot," Sullivan replied. "I brought in all the stuff and I wanted to take the blame myself." "Did you fire the shot?" he was asked again. "No, sir." "When did you decide to change your story?" Knight asked Sullivan. "Last night. I was called out of my cell.

There were eight men there and I had to go through the third degree?" Sullivan said the men were Prosecutor English, Head Keeper Murphy, Dr. P. B. Means, hospital physician; Chief County Detective Kirkham and other de detectives. "What did the third degree consist of?" he was then asked.

"They asked me about the case all the way through." "You don't call that the third degree?" Knight interrupted. "I was asked some questions," he replied. PLA.

KALTENBORN Mussolini Meets His Match in the Church of Rome Following the Vatican's protest against Mussolini's tyrannization over German Catholics in the annexed part of the Tirol Pope Plus has spoken with even greater directness against Mussolini's monopoly of Italian education. Mussolini has not failed to reply. As a result relations between Vatican and Quirinal are more strained than they have been since Mussolini's march on Rome. This crisis follows shortly after word came from Rome that the anclent quarrel between the Papacy and the Italian State was to be settled by a compromise. It probably the Pope's answer to the premature announcement of such a settlement.

On several previous occasions when settlement rumors were launched it has always been the Vatican and not the Italian Government which has denied their accuracy. Mussolini's conservative, autocratic nationalist policy pleases many Catholic leaders of Italy. They see the answer to the post-war tendency toward radicalism in politics and atheism in religion which swept over Italy in the years preceding the Fascist revolution. They have done their best to reconcile the Vatican with the Fascist regime. Why not, they argue, utilize Mussolini's opportunist, temper to end the quarrel which began in 1870 when Italian troops seized Rome and the Pope became 3 voluntary prisoner? But the shrewd veteran statesman who directs the political policy of the Vatican has steadily resisted Mussolini's blandishments.

Mexico City, March 29 patches from Irapuato, Guanajuato, today said 92 insurgents, two Catholic priests, the chieftain Romingo Anaya, two army officers and four soldiers had been killed in the bloodiest battle which had occurred since the insurgents became active. Forty insurgents were wounded and 47 captured in the fighting, which occurred at San Isidro Ranch near San Francisco del Rincon Tuesday and Wednesday. Gen. Genovevo Rivas, commander of the 43d and six soldiers were also wounded.

Military authorities declared that the battle dealt a death blow to the uprising in the State of Guanajuato. One hundred and eighty horses and 67 rifles were captured from the antigovernment forces during the combat. Insurgents Strongly Fortified. The insurgents, who numbered 300, fought desperately for 29 hours under Chieftain Anaya and the two unnamed priests against the 43d Regt. The insurgents were strongly fortified in the San Isidro Ranch, but were gradually driven out of the various buildings as the fighting progressed.

The combat started at 7 a.m. Tuesday and lasted until Wednesday noon, when 47 insurgents surrendered after a final attempt to break through the ring of Federal troops surrounding the ranch.

To his other son, Charles G. Wingate of 26 Remsen General Wingate left a one-third share of his residuary estate in trust, the direction that the principal shall not exceed $20,000. The executor is instructed to pay him such part of the principal as may be necessary for his support. Restricts Bequest. In restricting wrote: the gift to his son.

the testator have limited the bequest to my son, Charles G. Wingate, as hereinabove provided, for the reason that he has already received from me much more than I have given to his brother or sisters." To his daughter, Mrs. Mary H. W. Lloyd of Haverford, the General left one of the paintings in his residence.

To her children is left $500 each. In making these bequests, the General said in his will: "I make these limited bequests merely as a token of my regard and affection and on account of the fact that my daughter and her sons will, at the time of my death, be much better off than any of my other children or grandchildren." Asked today if the gift of his father's law practice to him would cause to resign his position as Surrogate to carry on the business, the Surrogate said he did not care to discuss it at this time. It is understood that the business will be carried on by General Wingate's partner. Inquiries today at the Surrogate's office as to the extent of the General's real and personal property failed to elicit further information than the conservative estimate made in the petition for probate. It was said no better estimate of the value of the estate could be given until the appraisal necessary for the transfer tax has been made.

Other Bequests. Upon the death of the son, Charles G. Wingate, one-half of the remaining principal is to go to his wife and the remaining one-half to a granddaughter, Grace W. Wasson of Schenectady, that N. share, who and receives another twogranddaughter, Marjorie W.

Alfred Adler of Vienna, world famous as the "father of the inferiority complex," today agreed with Count that women dominate America. Seen for a few minutes before leaving for Chicago, Dr. Adler, who returns to Vienna in May, declared women dominate here because they were once in such a minority in the United States that now they have gained the upper hand they have decided never to relinquish it. "Competition between men and women is in all countries like a race." said he, "and in this country, because woman nears her goal, woman exaggerated in her actions than elsewhere. Says Women Imitate Men.

"Those of your sex who suffer froin an inferior complex in regard to the opposite sex prove it by imitating man's vices- such as drinking and, in less degree, smoking. Women conscious of failure take refuge in a useless superiority complex or they cop; man in the externals. "The worth and importance of mothers is recognized here as nowhere else. With many more opportunities for all, the striving very great here. I do not think it is injuring women.

In countries which lack your great opportunities it is useless. Versatility Possible in U. S. Woman here has more ways of expressing her personality than the European woman. America's marvelous growth of cities has given special home conditions apartments, no housekeeping--and therefore your women are into carrying on their lives outwardly.

Dr. Adler speaks rapidly and his English is so broken it is difficult to understand him. He is short, thickset, with a small mustache, protuberant lips and keen, gray eyes. Like most thinkers, he writes far better than he speaks. His mind works so rapidly speech handicaps his remark- mental range.

No Place for Papa. "To be occupied in social work, in business, in writing--such is the modern woman." he added. "No, certainly, it will hurt her. Biologically she will take care of herself and the race. The home life gives woman bigger place man because he, even more than she, is engrossed in business, to her not only the home cultural fields.

But, as with Count Keyserling, man was not to get much attention. "Your women are far better speakers than your men," continued Dr. Adler, paying no attention to man. "The women here find it no task to lead conversation.

Man listens. In Europe man has to take care of the talk." But Dr. Adler refused to let a woman get in a single word at the interview. "Do you The interviewer gave it up. "Also in beauty, striking beauty.

Early Strawberry Crop Doubled, Says Bureau Chicago, March 29 (P)-It is cially suggested that early berries may be nearly twice as plentiful as last spring. Reports today from the Government Bureau of Agriculture Economics add this: "The strawberry crop in Louisiana is forecast as at nearly 37,000,000 quarts, as compared with 17,000,000 last year. Heavier I production is accounted for by heavier indicated yield per acre, which is twice the yield harvested in 1927."

Court of Appeals Decision Upholding Zoning Law Big Victory for Owners Here The decision of the Court of Appeals yesterday holding that zoning resolutions cannot be modified or varied by the Zoning Board for the benefit of a single property owner who has acquired title with the knowledge of the residential character of a given district was regarded today as a signal victory for property owners in this boro who have persistently fought attempts to change zoning regulations for the advantage of an individual or corporation. Ends Three-Year Battle. The decision brings to a close a three-year battle of residents of the Murray Hill section of Manhattan to prevent the construction of an apartment building on the southwest corner of Park ave, and 40th launched by Fortieth Street and Park Avenue, a realty organization, in April, 1925, which appealed to the Board Standards and Appeals after the SitI perintendent of Buildings had refused to sanction the building 011 the ground that it would be a legal invasion of a residential district under the zoning resolution. The board granted the appeal and the fight was carried into the courts when the property owners obtained in the Supreme Court a certiorari order for raview of the decision of the City Board. The Court of Appeals yesterday sustained the Appellate Division in upholding the Su- I preme Court order.

I cepted as minor concessions of no particular importance.

Even when Mussolini, who used to delight 111 cursing God on the lecture platform and then inviting divine punishment, bent his knee before the symbols of the Church he remained suspect. Cardinal Gasparri, who has presided over the foreign relations of the Church of Rome under several Popes, remains unresponsive 'to Mussolini's offers. The plain speaking of Pope Pius on Sunday, when he charged Fascism with showing contradiction or ignorance of the most elemental and most noteworthy pedagogic principles" and declared himself "pained and grieved" at Fascism's complete pedagogic plan, "tending to a veritable monopoly of juvenile education, not only physical but moral and spiritual," has been attributed to the Gasparri influence. True to his militant temper, Mussolint has refused to accept the Pope's rebuke in silence. He replies with a threat.

If the Catholic Church dares object to what has already happened it may soon have to face the suppression of the few remaining Catholic organizations for the education of Italian youth. "To this threat there will be no lmmediate reply. The Vatican is never in a hurry. Mussolini is, looks For back the Church of Rome, which on twenty centuries, "tempus fugit" does not have the same meaning as for a Dictator who has vaulted from anarchism to autocracy, from atheism to piety, with the speed and versatility which opportunism decrees. In the Church of Rome Mussolini has met his match.

It would be quite in keeping with Italian historic tradiI tion if it proved his undoing. Alexander Karlin, attorney, now 1 in jail for refusing to answer questions in the Manhattan ambulance-chaser probe, will make another attempt tomorrow to throw the entire citywide investigation upon the scrap heap. Through his attorney, Abraham Tulin, he will argue before the Appellate Division of the First Department that, since the Court of Appeals has not yet expressed an opinin which probe is being conion as to legality of the manner thee ducted, he is languishing in prison in violation of his constitutional rights. This same Appellate Division was the first to order an ambulancechasing investigation in the city and directed the manner in which it was to be conducted. And last Tuesday it denied Karlin's application for a stay of commitment pending appeal.

Step Toward Higher Appeal. Therefore Karlin is not hopeful of tomorrow's result. It is merely a necessary step in getting his case before the Court of Appeals at Albany. Tulin, Karlin's counsel, has lost no opportunity during the various court arguments that have taken place to declare that he has the "highest respect" for the Appellate Division and that the investigation is "unquestiorably a laudable inquiry of lofty aims and purposes." But, he insists, it is being conducted in' a "roughshod" manner. Despite, all his expressions of sympathy with the purpose of the probe, the investigation both in Manhattan and Brooklyn will be crippled if Karlin wins in the Court of Appeals.

Rebuke by Judge. Both the Bar and the Bench are anxious to remedy an evil which has cast a blot upon the legal profession. Yet last Monday, just before Justice Mahoney dismissed the writ of habeas corpus under which Karlin had tained temporary liberty, Tulin declared his client felt he was doing a great service to the Bar and to the law by making a test. This brought the comment from Justice Mahoney that Karlin was "putting himself in a bad way." "Here was a chance for him to respond and give his aid in this important investigation," he declared. "I regret he did not see fit to do so." Karlin would not be in jail and his name would not have been made public now in connection with ambulance chasing if he had testified at the private hearing.
