House Committee Plans
To Slash Navy Estimate

From The Tr,Ju,e's Washington Bureou
WASHINGTON, Dec. % Secretary
Daniels's c-timate OF $4,000 coo AS the
amount necessary to run the navy dur
ing the next fiscal year viii be found
much too high by the subcommittee Of
the appropriations committee, which
will begin drafting the navy appropri-
ations bill early next week.
Representative Patrick II. Kelley. OF
Michigan, chairman of the sub-commlt-
tee, said to-day that the enforced pro-
gram of general economy facing this
and the next Congress will make neces-
mate. 1t is expected that the cut viii
bring the total down by at least 5000
100000 before the bill is ready for
presentation to the House.
1T is also believed probable that be
fore the bill is completed Senator Har-
ding Will have made known his choice
for the navy portfolio in the Cabinet
according to Mr.. Kelley; and. while the
new Secretary of the Navy viii not
appear before the committee
| Chairman Kelley SAID his wishes will
undoubtedly influence the framing OF
the bill.
One Of the principal objections tc
Secretary Daniels's estimates center
for the maintenance Of naval lane
rases. Mr.. Kelley and other member
Of the subcommittee say the navy i
ropheavy with land forces that shoul,

Representative Kelley declared tn
only reason many Of the land bases 0
the navy are maintained is because O

many candidate if he looks like Il WIN
rer.
Ex-senator Saxes friends count on
tis winning out in free for-all by the
force of his personality plus mis- recog-
rized all-around ability. He has had
long experience in legislative affairs,
both at Albany and at home, and since
he retired from the charmanship of
the State Tax Board he has made n
study of New York City finances. His
supporters believe that he would re-
ceive good deal of support from the
anti-Livingston men in Brooklyn and
that his al-around fitness for the first
place on the ticket Will be recognized
lefore the formal conference takes
place.
One Of the contingencies is that the
Legislature may radically change the
primary system and restore the con-
vcntion system right down the line.
Judge Miller is strong for a return Of
conventions for state and judiciary
nominees, but says that he is open
minded about carrying the changes
further than that. The independent
candidacy of ex-senator William NJ.
Bennett in the primaries Of 1917 and
the havoc he created when he beat
Mayor Mitchell for the Republican des-
ignaton is cited as an argument for
doing away with the present system.
The advocates of return of the con
vention system say that there is
strong probabilit of fusion ticket
if the matter is left to city conven-
tion, but that if left to direct primary
n straight ticket is practically certain.
The City Clubs contingent favors q
fusion ticket, no matter how brought
about. but it is against surrendering
the good features of the direct pri-
maries.
The Republican leaders look for a
mparatively early capitalization Of
sentiment with reference 20 platform
and candidates. With growing prob
ability of a legislative vestigation
of the Hylan administration, most of
he leaders think that before vacation
time next year the way VIII be clear
for the nomination of ticket made

records insuring capable admins

Albany Hill fires when a resident OF

scene in automobiles. While Stein
mans machine was approaching a
stretch Of wooded land owned by Will

from the place on TO tne load. Dcn-
uty Steinman stopped his machine and
questioned the man, who, steinman
says, told story of being in Browns
Vile playing pool. When asked why
ne was walking such a distance to his
home, which he said was in F'airhope.
the man, who proved to be Smith, said
he did it regularly for the exercise
Steinman placed him under arrest,
taking him along in the machine.
Smith was taken to uniontown and
put through a severe grilling. After
telling several conflicting stories, it
is said, he admitted he was Albert
