By Charles r. White

SAN FRANCISCO, June. 25.-Friends
OF Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New
York, have told him so many times in
the last two or three days that he has
a chance to be nominated for Presi-
dent that apparently he believes it
even more strongly than DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler harbored the conviction
that he would be named as the stand
ard bearer of his party at the Chicago
| convention.
The admirers of New York's Gov
ernor have been telling him to-day
that the big fight will be between the
vets on the one side and the drys on
the other. Also, that in the absence of
the late Roger c. Sullivan, of Illinois,
the vets have no leader against Will
liam j. Bryan, who will lead the drys.
They are urging Gal" to step out of
the ranks and assume the leadership of
| the vets, promising him votes and
glory once he essays the role Of leader.
The Governor told his callers to-day
to wait until tomorrow, when the bulk
of the New York delegates will be here.
to enable him to talk the matter over
with them.
Propaganda Among Vets
The vets in Illinois, Indiana, Ken
lucky and California have been fur
nished the figures by which Governor
Smith two years ago, in a year when
New York was carried by State Comp
troller Travis and others by 10000,
defeated Whitman, running with the
support of the drys, by a margin of
$4,000.
The more this item is circulated the
better Governor Smith seems to like
it. Now that his boosters have dis
covered that he likes it, they are using
it along with other arguments to con-
vince the leaders that Governor Smith,
although member of the Roman Cath
olic Church and living in a state sup
posed to be safely Republican by 20O,-
600, is after all the most available
Democrat for the nomination for Presi-
dent.
The Smith talk to-day sent number

F. Murphy, the Tammany chieftain, in

in the present convention situation.
Murphy, who will have the power to
cast the entire ninety in block, knows
this, and he is having the time of his
life as the unchallenged leader of the
Empire State. He is listening to the

5,OOO,O 600 Estimated
Population of the U. S.
Falling OFF in Growth During
Last Decade Laid to War
and Influenza

WASHINGTON, June 25-The popu-
lation Of continental United States is
estimated at 105,000.000 by J. A. Hill,
chief statistcian Of the Census Bureau
His calculation is based on the com
bincd populations Of 1,406 cities and
towns for which statistics have been
announced.
The increase over 1910 is placed at
about 100000, showing tho growth
of the country has not kept pace with
the previous decade. Almost complete
cessation of immigration during the
war Is the chief reason assigned for
the falling off in growth Other sug-
gcstions were the two influenza cpl
denies, return Of aliens to their native
lands and deaths OF soldiers abroad
and at home during the war.
The aggregate population Of the
cities and towns on which the estimate
was made Is 41,020,354 This Is an
average gain Of 2s per cent. compared
with 35 per cent in the previous decade

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Senatol
Warren G. Harding in a talk to-daS
With Colonel William Boyce Thompson
of New York, said he wanted the nee.
essary funds for the election Campaign
to be made up Of small contributions
Colonel Thompson, who is the chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit.
tee of the Republican National Com
mittee, assured the Republican nomi-
nee that there had been no contribu-
tion made through his department in
excess of 1000 and that it was pur-
posed to continue that limitation.
This is not going to be an expensive
campaign if Senator Harding can helm
it, and Colonel Thompson assured him
there would be no reliance on financial
influence to restore the Republican
party to power. They conferred in
Senator Harding's Office for nearly two
hours, and when they had finished
Colonel Thompson issued this state
ment:
Senator Harding has said to me,
as head of the national Ways and
Means Committee, that he wants the
financial side of the campaign cast in
harmony with the policy of his pre-
convention campaign. The Senator
spent the least of any of the cand-
dates in the re-convention period, and
takes especial pride in having it known
that the major portion of his limited
fund came through small contribu-
tions from neighbors and friends in
his home town. He feels, and we all
agree with him, that the necessary
funds for the national campaign should
be made up of small contributions.
Intensive Campaign Planned
"Our policy is to adhere strictly to
the proposal of receiving contributions
in limited amounts. No one can escape
the realization of certain necessary ex-
penditures in carrying on great
nationwide campaign. The Republican
party means to carry on an intensive
campaign in order to get back to GOV
ernment under the Constitution, but it
is not going to be campaign that will

ing in an acrobatic act with two other
men.
Associated with Miss Gordon and
her husband, Jack Wilson, are the
formers daughter, Vera Beresford
and Frank Griffith. 1t is at the latter
that the revolver is discharged in the
scene in which they are appearing.
Following the shooting Miss Gordon

Garrity said he was satisfied the

motion picture screens, was before the

little less revealing.
Mr.. Figg refused to indicate what he

but declared after viewing the extreme
styles that skirts should "at least come
below the waist"
The garment dealers told Mr.. Figg
that it takes as much cloth to make
a short skirt as it does long one, and
that no economy is accomplished by
saving in length. SO the department
won't concern itself with how much
skirts will cover.

Man to Hunt More Leaks

A leak in the roof of the house oc-

away, had been bothering the Smith
family for months. The torrential
downpour of Thursday night marked
the end of Smiths patience
'1'm through taking my baths in
bed" Smith told his wife yesterday
morning. "I'm going to lose a days
pay, but 1ll fix that roof if it costs
me a thousand dollars"
Investigating the interior construc-
tion of the roof from an attic which
had not been entered for years, Smith
came upon a canvas bag tucked be-
hind sloping rafter. In the bag was
collection of gold United States coins
totaling $1,000.
Smith thinks the bag must have been
hidden by his wife's mother, who did
not believe in banks. He is going to
