Capt. Stewart Agrees to Post
pone Event Until Florida
Press Association Meets.

Captain Paul P. Stewart Of the Pen
sacola Shipbuilding Co. announced last
night that the launching of the next
ship, the "City Of Hastings" has been
officially postponed from June IL to
June 10 for the particular purpose OF
giving the Florida Press Association
a chance to see a Pensacola product
take the water. The launching will be
held at 9 o'clock in the morning. The
sponsor has not been selected.
Much effort is being made to pre-
vent delay and a full crew of men is
at work putting the finishing touches
on. The ship will be SO per cent COM
pleted when she takes her plunge.
When she takes the water she will
have smoke coming out of her stack.
Mayor Sanders has told the COM
mittee on entertainment of the State
Press Association that the City will
do everything possible TO make the
convention here a success.
Other organizations are prepared to
aid and the coming convention prom
ises to be interesting, both for the
and for Pensacola.
Capt. Stewards decision to delay the
launching of the CITY Of Hastings is
one OF the biggest stunts on the pro-
gram and many editors will see ship
go over for the first time.

CITY PLANNING
IDEA is BOOSTED

Kansas, City. June 4-The realtor
who operates in a city that gives no
thought to city planning is working
against a handicap as compared with
those cities that have definite goal
toward which they are working for
greater Identification and greater util-
ity. George f. Kessler, St Louis said
today in a speach before the annual
convention of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards.
Preceding Mr.. Kessler's address, the
city planning committee presented its
report. urging greater activity in city
planning and condemning the property
owner who. through short sightedness
stands in the way Of greater beauty
and utility in city arrangement.
The report included survey Of city
planning development in many cities
and presented figures showing the
bearing Of such activity on realt
values.

LABOR RECORDS
Are DISCUSSED
Hardee and Fletcher Commended
to Labor In Orderly Political
Rally Last Night.

Declaring that Cary Hardee deserv-
ed the support of all labor unions as
we'll as all voters of the state who
wish to send compentent and efficient
man to Tallahassee as governor of the
state, James Johnson spoke last night
to one of the most orderly and sue
Icessful political rallies ever held in this
fty. The rally was held in Precinct
Is, on Government near DeYjllier st.
where the voters were guests of Frank
Pou.
Excellent fish chowder and near bear
! in quantities was served to large del
egation of voters and candidates by
Willie O'Connell and Johnny Hum
phreys.
"Mr. Hardee's record while speaker
of the house was open to the public
and not one instance could be pointed
out where he was anything but favor
able to labor, declared Mr.. Johnson.
His record has never been attacked
while in Tallahassee and only rumored

Mr.. Johnson was a representative of
| the labor from this district and was
appointed as chairman of the union
labor committee by Mr.. Hardee and ne
he cited the assistance and support
lgiven by the speaker to all bills favor
ling the unions,
Senator Fletcher's record and assis-
tance to labors cause was also cited
by the speaker, he told at length of
the trip made to Washington of
committee for the investigation of the
labor trouble at the local ship building
plant. 1t was through the aid of the
Senator, he declared, that the COM
mittee was enabled to creditably place
before the Emergency Fleet corpora
ton the unfairness shown the plant
Workers by those in charge at that
time, and whom the corporation order
ed removed. 1T was through this fact,
hf Said that the ship plant was allowed
to1remain in business in Pensacola.
He called the local unions to task
fer endorsing a man with a record
lie that of Gov. Cats and promising
to support such a man for the senate
who was unable and incapable of Civ
ing this state the benefits and service
that it required. He said the unions
here had endorsed man who was of
no use to labor or to the state but
the governor had brought more dis
grace to the state than any man since
1870.
The meeting was one of the largest
rallies held during the campaign, was
remarkably free from disorders and the
candidates refrained from indulging in
unpleasant personalities. The crowds
remained practically throughout the
speaking through an almost unceasing
shower.
Practically every candidate for coun- |
ty office was present and spoke to
the voters and each was received with !
respectful attention. Philip Beall made
a short talk in favor of Rivers Buford |
for attorney general, in the absence of |
that candidate.
William Fisher made an especially |
appeal for support for county solicit |
tor, and in very dignified and forceful |
manner answered certain imputations |
that had been made against him by
an earlier speaker. Flowers were pre-
sented several of the speakers at the
close of their talks, j. c. Van Pelt and |
Frank x. Carroll receiving the majority
of the tokens.

Managers of Candidates Seek

tlon as to Probabilities.
JOHNSON is LEADER
Californian Is Planning to Storm
the Convention on League
of Nations Issue.
BY n. N. RIckEy

Shicago. June 4.-what Is fo han
pen at the republican convention next
week is as deep and dark a mvste,-,,
To-Day as 1t was a month ago Il,
there Is anybody in Chicago. noIit,caI
leader, ordinary delegate. newsnsre-
correspondent or onlooker uho -
clearly defined idea as To who =
emerging from this mess as the canal
ua,e Tor president and party leader. he
Aeepihg IL to himself. Even candi-
uates and their managers in the face
oi "hat Is so obviously an uncertain
situation have ceased making extrava-
CANT claims. They receive newspa-
permen twice a day. but are much
more Keen to get information from
tne writer's than to give information
10 them The reason S they hayen't
any to give. The candidates and their
managers are just as far up in the
air as the rest of us.
About the only thing that one NAV
predict with any degree of GER
tainty is that no nomination will be
made on the first ballot After that
first ballot which will probably be
taFA- m Thursday, perhaps not until
Frioay. anything may happen.
At the moment. chief interest cen-
ters about Johnson, because he is the
most aggressive and forceful OF the
candidates. He is the stormy petrer
of the situation. and while he has NOT
as yet demonstrated those her-rais;np
qualities of leadership that made
roosevelt a popular idol. his abilities
as a two-fisted fighting man are not
understimated by his opponents.
= ?. = rs =, aryytyal on THURSDAY john
is that IL they do not denounce the
league in the platform. he will make a
fight on the floor OF the convention.
The general Interpretation of John
sons strategy is that he will refuse 10
be satisfied with any league plank
which is put into the platform and will
thus have the excuse which is neces-
sary TO invade the convention in per-
son. Once on the floor of the con-
vention. johnson believes he will be
able to stampede II and win the nomi-
nation.
Meanwhile Johnson and his man
ayers are working night and day TO
line up the greatest possible number
OF uninstructed delegates for the carly
ballots.
They figure IL the California senator
can show increasing strength with
each ballot. his chances for pulling
off a stampede viii be greatly m
hanced.
The uncertainty Of the situation as
whole has given heart even TO such
candidates as Harding and Pcindexter.
In as wide open n contest az this
is now and will probaosy continue 10
be until the nomination is made they
feel that there is no telling where tie
lightning may strike. There ere no
surface indications hat thu reaction
against Wood and Lowdsn because ot
their Doodle activities is any less
marked than it has been. On .he con-
trary the talk in aosel Hobbies and
among the political leaders generally
is that feeling is stronger each day
that neither of them will be nonni-
mated.
The livest vice. presidential boom up
to this time. is that of collidge. Allen
Of Kansas, is also mucl talked Of for
second place on the ticket.
