hind Armistice.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 1s.-Goy. Smith
today denied knowledge of efforts to
bridge the gap between himself and
w. r. Hearst.
Il know nothing about it." he said.
II haven't even read the newspaner
stories. Wait until somebody saws
something. I gather that these sto-
ries arose from the fact that George
Brennan came to see me yesterday"
did Brennan speak to you about
this NATTER" he was asked.
He did not mention it." was the
reply.
Three New York newspapers-the
Times. the Herald Tribune and the
World-today declare that a peace
pact Is about to be made between Gov.
Smith and Hearst. whereby the pub
lisher will not oppose his erstwhile
political enemy for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Hearst Paper Silent
Mr.. Hearst's own newspaper, the
american, makes no mention of the
subject.
The other papers say that Mayor
Hylan is acting in the role of media
tor between the governor and the
puDilsHeT. IeOfSe Il. brennan, ILL.,
nois Democratic leader. is said to
heartily favor a Smith-Hearst armi-
stice. Brennan, who is behind Smith
for the Democratic nomination, also
Is friendly politically to Hearst, who
has supported the city and county
tickets in Chicago.
Senator Copeland, who has had
considerable mention as possible
strong dark horse and who Is known
to be on friendly terms with Mr..
Hearst has issued a statement re-
garding strong pro-Smith sentiment
he has found in New England.
Promised Committee Post.
The American declares that, ac-
cording to Smiths campaign man
ayers. Brennan has all but pledged
to the governor the ffty-eight Illi-
nois delegates and that in the event
of Smiths nominal ton the Illinois
leader will be made chairman of the
Democratic National committee.
The Smith Hearst feud dates back
to 1918, when the governor was first
elected. Smith was given the nomi-
nation wanted by Hearst. In October
1919, the governor attacked the pub
Usher in a speech at Carnegie Hall
and in 1922 Gov Smith refused to run
for governor if Hearst should be
named as a candidate for senator.

LODGE AMONG GUESTS
AT COOLIDGE DINNER
Senators Borah, Watson, Curtis
and Warren Also There for In
formal Political Talk.
EARLY CAMPAIGNING URGED
Representatives Tincher and Sin
mott Complete Invited List.

Numerous questions growing out
of the Cleveland convention and in
cident to the organization OF the Re-
paign were discussed in an informal
manner at the White House last
night by President Coolidge with sew
eral Republican senators and repre-
sentatives. This conference followed
dinner at the White House.
The guests included Senators
Lodge of Massachusetts. Borah Of
Idaho, Watson Of Indiana, Curtis of
Kansas. Warren of Wyoming and
Brandegee of Connecticut and Repre-
sentatives Tincher Of Kansas and
Sinnott of Oregon.
Want Campaign Started.
Tho Presidents guests expressed
the opinion that no time should be
lost in getting the campaign actively
under way. Immediately after the
Democratic convention the big party
machine should start operations, they
said. Each seemed desirous of put
ting aside any personal differences or
any feelings which might have arisen
at the Cleveland convention as a re-
suit Of the manner in which William
NJ. Butler, the chairman, conducted
the conclaye. They expressed a de-
sire for party harmony and loyalty.
1t was explained also at the White
House today that another reason for
the President having these party
leaders as dinner guests was that vir-
tually all of them are leaving Wash
ington and this informal dinner af-
forded him an opportunity to talk
with them before leaving.
Justice to Aid Coolidge.
Associate Justice J. A Van Orsdel.
of the United States Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia. who
started yesterday on a three months
vacation. called at the White House
to pay his respects to President Cool
idge. Justice Van Orsdel is a native
of Wyoming and before being ap-
pointed TO the bench was prominent
in Republican politics in that state
and elsewhere in the Rocky Mountain
section.
He told the President that he ex-
poets to do much travelling about that
section during his vacation and that
he intends to tell every one just what
manner Of man President Coolidge is
and to urge his election.

DEMOCRATIC TREND
STRENGTHENS SMITH
AS McADOO SLUMPS
CONTINUED from First Paxe)

Bryan who was enroute to New York,
stopped here to deliver q lecture.
Mr.. Bryan refused to discuss can
didates saying his delegation was
pledged to support William Gibbs
McAdoo for the presidential nou1ina-
tion. He said he expected to be
member Of the resolutions committee.
/ II have for many years favored the
abolition of the two-thirds rule in
the convention provided that the unit
rule is abolished at the same time"
Mr.. Bryan said "At present tho two
thirds rule Is the only protection
against the unit rule.
Under the unit rule, forty-six dele
gates out of ninety in New York can
use as they will the other forty-four.
The same is true of any state that
has the unit rule. In the four big
states, New York, Pennsylvania, Illi-
nois and Ohio, a bare majority of
the delegates can control minority,
amounting to something like 125
delegates. A similar combination
could control the smaller states !;
thus a little more than a third Of
the delegates might be able to NOM
mate in spite Of a majority protest" !"
Mr.. Bryan said he thought the Re-
publican plan Of allowing the states
to instruct delegates at large, leav-
ing congressional districts to instruct
district delegates, much more fair
than ours"
