Likens Buffalo Ex-Mayor to

ly Impressed by Demand
Here That AL Smith Rum

After passing nearly all the wcek In
town comforting with Democrats of all
shades of opinion, William ]. Corners.
the multi-millionaire manager of the
Hearst-for- Governor boom, will return
to his home in Buffalo tonight i'm
pressed with the strength of the senti.
ment in local Democratic circles in
favor Of Alfred E. Smith as the next
Democratic candidate for Governor.
Mr.. Corners keeps right on saving
that Hearst has the best chance for
the nomination, but the undoubted evil
dence of Smiths strength has cooled
his ardor for the publisher.
Fuhrmann May Be Dark Horse
This week, more than ever before.
Mr.. Conners has stressed the good
points of exMayor Bouis P. Fuhrmann
OF Buffalo as a possible candidate to
head the ticket. The impression is
growing among local Democrats that if
the Conners-H Hearst combination stalls
Itself at the Syracuse convention Mr..
Conners, with the support of Mr..
Hearst, will head a movement for the
nomination of Fuhrmann.
The Hearst Corners fight in Er;a
County for delegates to the Syracuse
convention is being conducted ostensi-
bly, in the interest of ex-Mayor Fuhr-
mann.
Louis Fuhrmann supports all of
Hearst's policies" said Mr.. Conpers
last night. "He is splendid American
and an important and powerful figure.
Buffalo will place his name before the @
convention and will support him ener-
getically. His friends have annie
reason for saying that Louis Fuhrmann
IS stronger in Buffalo to-day than
Grover Cleveland was in the sos when %
he began the rise in politics that re-
suited in his being elected Governor
and afterward President"
The transformers men seem con-
fident that AL Smith will not be the
nominee of the Syracuse convention
They say it would be political suicide
to name Smith this year following HIS
defeat by Governor Miller short two ,sro
years ago, especially as the Hylan ad-
mlnlstration, dominated by Mr.. Hearst.

Not Opposed to Governor Hard

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Unless un-
expected developments prevent. Presi-
dent Harding will announce within the
next few days the appointments to fill
the two vacancies on the Federal Re-
serve Board, it was said to-day at the
White House.
The President, was represented as
personally not opposed to the reap
pointment as governor of W. T. G.
Harding, whose term as member of
the board expired on August 10, but
to recognize divided sentiment against
his retention.
In some official quarters the view
was advanced that the President has
not as yet decided as between w. P. G.
Harding and D. R. Crissinger for the
post of governor of the Federal Reserve
Board.
Opposition to the reappointment OF
Mr., Harding, according to some close
observers. is mainly from the sections

here in New York, and that AL Smith
cannot stand on such platform in the
face of the fact that it was his Public
Service Commission which two years
ago advocated an Scent fare in New
York and raised the fares in various

Disaffection His Platform
Mr.. Corners says that the only
chance the Democrats have Of electing
their candidates this year is disaffec-
tion in the cities over increased car
fares, lighting and telephone rates, and
that it would be absurd to nominate
Smith on platform condemning Re-
publicans for any of these things. when
it is matter of record, he holds, that
it was the Smith administration two
years ago that "stood for" those very
things.

Short Circuit Ties
Up B. r.. t. Line
In Morning Rush
Traffic to Manhattan Be-
tween De Kalb Ave. and
Canal ST. at Standstill;
Smoke Alarms Passengers

Another short circuit on a B. R. T.
train caused subway tie-up at the
rush hour yesterday morning. Traffic
to Manhattan was tied up for half an
hour between De Kalb Avenue and
Canal Street, and, although some relief
was obtained by routing trains by way
of the Montague Street tunnel, the de-
lay caused grave inconveniences to
thousands of Office workers hurrying
to the daily grind.
The trouble originated in the insula-
tion of the motor lead wires near a
shoe on six-car train at little after
s o'clock The burning insulation
raised lot of smoke and the passen-
gers, recalling the stories of under
ground danger which We're circulated
after the recent Lexington Avenue fire,
showed signs of uneasiness. The
motorman ran the train into the De
delay Of several minutes while emer-
gency repairs were made.
There was a seven-minute halt at
De Kalb Avenue while the short cir
cut was remedied. The train con-
tinued to Manhattan Bridge, where the
trouble broke out again, and another
halt was made Again at Canal Street
the short circuit persisted and the en-
tire string of trains running from
Brooklyn into Manhattan under two
minute headway was held up.
Telephone messages to the De Kalb
Avenue tower caused the switching of
several trains through the Montague
Street tunnel. but the train on which
the trouble originally developed was
delayed for half an hour and the sched-
ule Of trains running behind the Grip
pie was similarly dislocated up to the
time that the Montague Street switch
was set into operation.
1t was an hour before traffic again
became normal There were approxi-
mately a hundred passengers in the
car where the fire occurred There
was a lot Of grunibling, but no panic.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Coroner Peter
M. Hoffman announced to-day that the
body of Mrs. Gertrude Hargrave will

Relatives Of the dead woman insist

Mrs. Martha Lemm, sister, has COM

haunts the Lemm home and seems to

Mrs. Lemm believes that her sister is

HOW TO RAISE MONEY
American Jewish Relief Committee In
creases Subscriptions From $500
To $4,000 in Short Time
"TelI The Story-The Money VIII
Come, Is The Advice Given To
Other Cities

Kentuckians are ready and willing
to give to the relief of the starving
and destitute Jews Of Eastern and
Central Europe.
This has been amply shown by the
citizens of Paducah, both Jews and
nOn-Jews.
When the appeal was first made In
that city about 500 was subscribed. 1t
was confidently asserted that that was
all the money that could be raised.
Then more work was done and the
committee in charge very reluctantly
accepted quota of $500, insisting
that it was the very limit.
Following a visit to Paducah of Col.
Fred Levy, State Chairman Of the
American Jewish Relief Committee,
Rabbi Joseph Rauch and Edward
Sachs, of Louisville, the quota was
doubled. BY that time the Paducah
workers we're so interested that they
laid plans to eclipse every city in the
state. Five thousand dollars was rails
ed. The next report was $1,000. Then
came a report Of $4,000, In pledges.
Now $4,000 is the goal.
In letter to Colonel Levy, Her
man Friedman of the committee said
1--WE haven't really started in Padu-
cab. We certainly don't intend to let
any other community in this state
catch up with u.s."
''Tell the story" is the advice Of the
