Nonsense as His Own Cam
paign Is Affected.
LEADERS ISSUE ADDRESS
Tell Why Democrats Should
Be Unanimous in Support
Of Candidate.

On the authority Of Chairman Kellosg,
of the Democratic State Committee, AL
fred 2. Smith last night charged that
an effort was being made by Republi-
cans to prevent his upstate speaking
trip. It became necessary yesterday to
cancel his speaking engagement at Hor-
nell tomorrow night because tho Board
of Health Of that city had placed a
ban on 1t after all the arrangements
had been made.
They got together in some mys-
FERROUS way last night" he said, "and
decided that as influenza might be in
Hornell on Monday night they had better
prevent the meeting. We did not engage
the hall until late yesterday afternoon
and the action OF the Board was taken
last night 1t looks as II I was az
dangerous TO the Republican orsaniza-
ton as influenza. IL not more so. I
might say that 1 understand there In
resentment among the citi-
gems Of Hornell."
The chances do not seem bright for
successful campaign trip for Presi-
dent Smith. Meetings had been ar
ranged for every night this week, but
one by one they were cancelled whom
the ban was placed on public meet
ings because Of the spread OF the cpl
demic. After a careful canvass the
Democratic State Committee found only
two places Of any size where there was
no ban, Hornell and Ithaca. The lat
ter still remains on the schedule and
Mr.. Smith plans to speak there Tues
day night He probably will speak to-
morrow somewhere near this city. Once
upstate, It 10 his present intention 70
make tour. even IL he has to hold
outdoor meetings.
Nonsense. Says whitman.
at Is utter nonsense to charge that
there Is any politics in the ban on public
meetings up State" declared Gov. Whit
statement Of Mr.. Smith had been called
to his attention. Il have been compelled
to cancel most Of my meetings.
THE situation Is really very serious.
and the prohibition was necessary for
the protection Of the people. II the
municipal authorities had not acted the
State authorities would have done 80.
Democratic municipal administrations as
we'll as Republican have seen the neces-
sity Of putting a stop to public meetings.
There 10 no politics in it."
In making public an address to voters

party the State committee said last night
that Il afforded another striking proof

 Rumors were rife on the street as to the import of q sur rey carried out yesterday under the direction of the Federal Road Commissioner, MT. Dan Jones. Said survey was made from the mouth of Snake river to Barracks Square. The mem- bers of the party upon being ques- toned were non-committal, merely stating ''it was done under orders. Some townspeople believe the plans for the proposed Snake river harbor require a more definite survey, others expressed their opinion that the survey is being made for the purpose of establishing a sub marine base, nevertheless the reti- cence of the surveyor and his asso- ciates have shrouded the matter in mystery. Laboring under the ap- prehension that the Federal Auth critics would not dare to authorize any work done in connection with the aforesaid harbor, without first notifying the Chamber of Commece, we despatched both our society and sporting editors to investigate They returned a few hours later and re- ported they had interviewed several members of the Chamber of Com | merce interference to the above men toned mysterious survey, but with out result apparently they are as 1 ignorant as to what's doing along those lines as our scribes are.
