HOOVER BACKS RAIL
CONSOLIDATION BILL
Plan Should Result in Lower Rates
on Farm Products, He
Tells Committee.

Consolidation of railway properties
as proposed in a bill introduced by
Senator Cummins, Republican, Iowa,
was indorsed by Secretary Hoover
today before the Senate interstate
commerce committee.
The plan would result, Mr.. Hoover
said, in more equitable rates, since
the rate structure could be reorgan-
lied without disturbing the present
earning levels of the roads. 1t would
permit relief in lower rates to agri-
culture and coal, he thought. by i'm
posing a heavier burden in the way
of rates upon finished goods.
Urges Passage Of Bill.
The most important step that could
consolidation, the Secretary declared,
would be the passage of some such
law as that proposed by Senator Cum
minis. since the essential matter now
is affirmative action by Congress. He
suggested that neither the Interstate
should do anything final in that di-
rection, however, until the public had
been given opportunity to thoroughly
consider and discuss whatever con-
solidation plan the commission may
recommend
lne secretary SdlQ dnOLneT argument
for consolidation was that 1t would
bring about reorganization Of freight
terminals, which he thought would be
vitality important in bringing about
lower rates. Terminal charges often
cost shippers more, he said, than rail-
road rates.
Members Of the committee entered
into a discussion with Secretary Hoover
of various technicalities presented by
consolidation proposals. He expressed
the opinion that certain properties
should be consolidated on the regional
basis-notably in New England-and he
urged that whatever consolidation might
ultimately be decided upon some pro-
vision should be made to maintain CO.
operation between different systems
.If consolidation is accepted as a
policy" he said, lit should
be expedited. Unless some affirmative
action is taken by Congress consolida-
ton will be long drawn out
Government consolidation would be
difficult, he added, as it might involve
the government in some way in ulti-
mate railroad ownership. which should
be carefully guarded against he con-
tended.

CONVENTION IS BADLY
SPLIT, REPORTS SHOW

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
July Still divided into non-ma-
jority groups, the Democratic ma
tional convention returned today to
its task of selecting a presidential
nominee with its course undecided.
It's first business was to receive
a report from Permanent Chairman
Walsh and MISUNDERSTANDING Hull
on their conferences with represen-
tatives of the sixteenth aspirants
for the presidential nomination.
The report as drafted contained the
declaration signed by all of the can
didates excepting William G. Nc
Adoo. releasing their delegates un-
conidtionally and also the declara-
ton of Mr.. McAdoo releasing his
delegates conditionally upon ebro>
cation of the unit and two-thirds
rules and on agreement for pro-
gressive elimination of minor can
didates.
The report was the sole accom-
plishment of the weekend confer
ences conducted by Chairman
Walsh and Hull. and opinion differ
led as to whether-it represented any
accomplishment at all.
Some of the McAdoo people went
into the session believing that little
had been accomplished and that
after a parliamentary wrangle the
situation would revert to the status
of Saturday.
Norman E. Mack, one of the floor
managers for Governor Smith said
he saw no change in the situation
except that he believed some of the
McAdoo delegations were showing
signs of disintergration. The Smith
forces, he said, were standing firm.
McAdoo leaders expressed the same
sentiments in reverse fashion.
All sorts of opinions were ex-
pressed as the delegates assem- bled.
The most unanimous one was that
1t was going to be broiling hot under
the glass roof of Madison Square
Garden,
The forecast of the preliminary
procedure today was that Chairman
Walsh would present the report of
the Sunday conferences containing
the two proposals advanced by the
fifteen minority candidates and by
Mr.. 'McAdoo and leave it to the con-
vention to decide what 1t was going
to do about 1t. A straight motion
from the floor to adopt a proposal
changing the rules would require a
two-thirds vote. but If the proposal
could be referred to the rules COM
mittee by majority vote. 1t could be
adopted by a majority vote If re-
ported back to the convention by the
rules committee.
The many canvasses conducted on
the floor to find out where the fay-
orite son delegates were going, de-
veloped only that although released
from pledges the sentiment of the
individual delegates seemed to be to
stand with their native sons.
Former Governor Brough, of the
Arkansas delegation. said the dele
gates were "for Robinson, first, last
and all the time.
The six from Delaware said they
realized they were free to choose.
having been released, but that their
individual preference is with Sauls-
bury. Mississippi delegates protested
that they would stay with McAdoo;
Louisiana just as firmly intended to
stick with John w. Davis. Governor
Sweet, of Colorado, added touch
of enlightenment to the situation by
saying:

Democratic Leaders Anxious
for Their County and
State Candidates
SEE SMITH DOOMED
Grave Situation Faces Demo-
cratic Leaders, Particu-
IarIy in Hudson County
By LEO j. LANNING
Especial Representative of the Eve
ming News at N. Y. ConventiOn)


MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
July 7.-Speculation on the effect
the Democratic National Convention
snarl over a presidential candidate
will have on the party in New Jersey
this fall was being INDUCED in here
today. Hudson county, always diff
ficult to handle in a presidential
year is expected to present a grave
"a oblem in view of the apparent lost
cause of AL Smith who is extremely
popular in the states gibraltar of
democracy.
Without Hudson rolling in its ac-
customed majority the party chances
in the coming election could be
bought for a niclsle in the opinion of
some observers. This situation would
almost doom any candidate FOR
United States Senator. The political
history of the state for the past
twenty-five years has shown that
New Jersey is Republican In national
elections and state tickets have al
ways been carried along on TINS
wave. A large commuter vote comes
out only every four years and In the
past it seems toy have shown pref
erence for the G.. o. P. It will be
recalled that four years ago Hudson
county sent a Republican delegation
to the legislature and all the DEM
ocrats saved out of that wreckage in
the county was the sheriff and one
congressman.
The Hague men were today think
ing more about their county ticket
of this fall than anything else. They
have a county register. freeholders,
an entire assembly delegation and
other important officials to choose
this year. With Smith heading the
national ticket they looked for a
sweep which would be reflected not
only in their own county put
throughout the state as well. Ot
course. this pessimism will have
plenty of time in which to dissipate
before November rolls around ana
the optimists said today that the
New Jersey situation. if as bad as
painted now will eventually right
itself.
Talk TODAY was. however. that
Mayor Hague may be called upon to
use pulmotor methods to save his
county ticket and even though GOV.
Smith is out of it all. his popularity
in Hudson county may be capltallzeo
by getting him to do some campaign
ing there to keep his supporters IN
line.
Another hope of the state democ-
racy is the possible selection OF Gov
ernor Silzer for second place on the
ticket. The executives prospects
for landing first place. have not
frightened but there is still the pos
sibility of his being picked as a
running mate for whoever gets the
nomination. This development
would. of course. serve to assuage
the Hudson disa ppointment over
Smiths elimination. Elsewhere in
the state it would improve democ-
racy's cause, too.
Silzer's representatives in the con-
ference here yesterday signed the
resolution of the minority" candi-
dates, declaring the time had come
for a release of all delegates. Mayor
Hague and James Kerney. Trenton
editor. were Silzer's emissaries.
