Smith Nominated;
Says He Will Aid
Wilson in House
Tammany Secretary Chos-
en- Unanimously to Fill
Conry's Seat

Thomas F. Smith, secretary Of Tam
many Hall. was unanimously chosen last
night as the Democratic candidate for
Congress from the 18th Congressional
District to succeed the late Michael +.
Conry, who died after being reelected.
Mr.. Smith is practically sure of cleo
ton.
About 300 members of the Demo
cratic County Committee residing in
the 18th Congressional District assem-
bled in convention at the Seymour
Club, PSI West Twenty-ffth Street. to
nominate the candidate. Frank j. Good
win, Deputy City Clerk, presided, and
Patrick II. Whitney acted as secretary
OF the convention. There was no OPP
position TO Smiths nomination, which
was made by Frank L. Bowling, presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen.
Alderman William T. Collins paid a
brief tribute TO Representative Conry.
In nominating Mr.. Smith, Alderman
Bowling declared that he was the best
equipped man that Tammany could
send to Congress in the present criti-
cal situation.
tom Smith was born in this dis
trict and has been Democrat since he
cast his first ballot" said Mr.. Bowling.
He will go to Congress when that
body is facing a situation unprecedent-
ed in the history of the country, and
because of this / believe he is the best
equipped man that we could send. The
nation will find him man ever eager
to defend democracy and TO stand by
the President 10 the end"
Mr.. Smith declared that he felt
honored to be selected for the place
at this time OF international trouble.
American enthusiasm was never so
vivid and intense as it is to-day" said
Mr.. Smith. This is time when every
man, no matter where he was born,
should subordinate every other senti-
ment to the protection and welfare Of
the United States. Every one who has
lived and tbrived on this soil ought to
be eager to declare his Americanism
and to stand by the President"
Secretary Smith was the recipient
of general congratulations at the close
Of the convention.
The Republicans will hold conven-
tion in the 10th Congressional District
tonight to nominate a candidate. No
one has been definitely slated for the
place, as great difficulty has been expe-
rienced by the leaders in finding man
who was willing TO run in the face Of
almost certain defeat.

Financier Opposes Erection
of Business Building

Marks Must Decide
Act of Board of Estimate Now
Restricts Murray Hill
Properties

Whether J. P. Morgan may continue
to reside in quiet and seclusion in
the highly restricted neighborhood OF
Thirty-seventh Street and Madison
Avenue, or whether William Waldorf
Astor Baron Aston OF Hever Castle)
has the right 20 rend the tranquility
of the block by erecting loft buildings
hard by is the pulling problem which
Borough President Marks must decide
Baron Astor, represented by Henry
W. Taft, is seeking to have the re-
strictions removed from the block on
Madison Avenue, from Thirty-ffth to
Thirty-sixth Street Edmund l.. Baylies'
Mr. Morgan's lawyer, is contesting the
proposed change as the representative
of the Murray Hill Association.
Baron Astor owns nineteen lots, in
GLIDING the row of residences on the
west side of Madison Avenue, from
Thirtv-ffth TO Thirty-sixth Street, and
extending back from the avenue on
both streets. Business buildings arc
barred from the Madison Avenue front
age by an act of the Board Of Estimate
passed last July.
Satterlee's House Is Near
Herbert l.. Satterlee, Mr.. Morgan's
partner, lives on the southwest corner
of Thirty sixth Street and Madison
Avenue, and just west of his house IS
Mr.. Morgan's library. One block horth
is Mr.. Morgan's residence.
Baron Aston is petitioning for the
repeal of the restriction, claiming that
by prohibiting the erection of business
buildings the act is virtually conhscat-
ing his property. At recent hearing,
attended by Mr. Taft and Mr. Bayies
and presided over by J. ". Adams, sec
rotary to the Borough Of Manhattan,
Mr.. Astor's lawyer declared that ne
would file plans for the erection OF
business building on his clients prop
erty within two weeks.
I'VE will take the case to the highest
courts if necessary" said he.
Says Astor Bears Burden
"You and Mr.. Morgan have been
Powerful enough to keep this block re-
stricted TO residences" he declared,
levelling his finger at Mr.. Baylies.
"Twice il has been recommended that
IL be opened TO business. do not
blame Mr.. Morgan. | should feel the
same way. But why should Mr.. Astor
be obliged to bear the whole burden OF
keeping this section restricted"
During the argument Mr.. Taft re
ferred to Aston as "Mr. Aston while
Mr. Baylies always called him Baron
Aston"
Borough President Marks will report
on the matter in a few days to the
committee on city plan. which will in
.urn make recommendations to the
Board OF Estimate.

gument BY Sternberg's lawyers that
Mrs. Hilair's death was due TO natural
causes.
Miss Hanley testified that she was
in the room occupied By Mrs. Hilair
at the Martinique at about 1880 o'clock

no signs OF confusion, no bloodstains or
other evidences Of violence, she eX-
planned. She left the room because she
thought she might be intruding, she
asserted, concluding with the state
ment that she never had seen Benny

hotel.

through the stolen jewelry," Mr.. Tai
lev said last night, "and ] am confident
that in a few days we shall get track
of II. In this case | am convinced
that the jewels were turned over to a
fence" ,
Mr.. Talley has not given up hope OF
getting on tho trail of the gems
through an anonymous letter written
to the police of the West Forty-Sev-
enth Street station, in which the writer
declared she could furnish information
regarding a man who. she says, she saw
selling Jewels on the night OF March
10. In the letter the writer, apparent
ly young woman, said, i am sure
you have the right man.
