NY. DEMOCRATS IN
 APEACEFUL MOOD
TonorroH's Opening Will Be
 Calm Affair

syfacuse. N. r.. Sept. 24.-The democartic political situation settled down today to an almost unruffled calm to await the opening tomorrow of what Is generally expected to be ratification of the present state officials for renomination as the party slate during the coming cam paign.
 Although Governor Smith still de- clines to say whether he will run again, all the delegates now on the scene assure that there will be no other candidate.
 Since Mayor Hylan of New York declared that he would not be a can didate and would not even attend the convention, the situation has clarified itself,
 Compared with the spirited con- vention of two years ago, when Gov ernor Smith waged successful bat tie against William Randolph Hearst and Mayor Hylan, the pre-conven- ton atmosphere this year is decided ly peaceful. .L... .-t
 The party flatform was the chief concern of the leaders today.
 The contents, it was disclosed to- day, will be familiar to followers of democratic party principals in the state for the past four years. Re- organization of state departments, improvement of the states extensive park system, betterment of its hos- pital facilities, welfare legislation for women and children, improved conditions for industrial workers of the state and. modification of the Volstead law to permit sale of light wines and beer will each have their place in the list.
 Whether the Ku Klux Klan will be mentioned by name, and openly denounced, still remains a matter of some doubt, although leaders are united in their opinion that some reference will be made to the or ganization. Virtually all of the state officials who wilf be associated with Gov ernor Smith on the democratic ticket for a second time have ar- rived in the city.

FOREIGN BUSINESS
 VERY IMPORTANT.
Investment Bankers Recognize
 European Securities

Cleveland, Sept. 24.-The great and growing importance of foreign securities was recognized today by the Investment Bankers Association of America, an action that presaged Establishment of an information bureau to furnish investors with re- liable data concerning foreign issues and the financial status of the gov crnments involved.
 The foreign securities committee In a report stated:
 Tn our opinion great service can be rendered by the Investment Bankers Association both by creat- ing better knowledge and } under standing of foreign countries ana their securities, and at the same time by protecting the American investor from offerings of such securities as are unsound in character.
 >"If foreign investment is to De progressively developed in this coun- try along sound and conservative lines, it is therefore Of the utmost importance that American invest ment in foreign securities be restrict ed to the obligations of governments and corporations which are them- selves of high credit and sound char acter.
 Such a result cannot be obtained unless the investing public Is well ln- formed regarding general conditions in the various countries coming into our market, and unless the invest ment bankers are scrupulously care fm to furnish all the speciaal infor- nation pertaining to the terms and provisions of issue and to'the actual conditions of tn country involved"
 The proposed action would estab- fish ar editorial and clerical staff to compile the information from con- sulGr reports and special articles of the federal department of com merceS from league of nations and reparatoas council reports, from various special reports, and hand bo ks and financiai magazines pub lished in the countries involved.
 The matter wes placed in the hands of the convention's incoming foreign securities committee and is believed to be certain . ratification, although changes in operating meth ods may be made.
 The report of the marine securi- ties commission indicated that the United States shipping board had lost $S0.OOo.o00 in the past year, but added that "this amount is more than offset by the fact that freight rates are much lower than would be the cage if our shippers were en- tirely dependent on foreign vessels"

MURDERER GONE AND
 NO CLUE IS FOUND
(Continued from First Page)

San Luca, Italy, and landed at Nj agara Falls, N. Y, on Oct. 20, 1922. He has wife living in Italy. His age was given as 39 years.
 Residents of the city that were known by the police to have been acquainted with Vottari have been interviewed by the police and Spon- sa,but they were unable to throw any light on his present whereabouts. All professed ignorance, saying that they were not on frienly terms with the fugitive. The police ran into a trail Of unpaid bills and loans that Vot- tari seemed to leave every place he lived or was known, and feel that his financial troubles will lead to his capture.
 Policemen Thomas J. Feeney, Patrick O'Mara and Thomas c. De- Ian are assisting in the investigation, the men working practically day and night following, all leads that might possibly bring any information on the case.
 Left Many Unpaid Bills
 It is said that a number of credit CTS share with the police a feeling of anxiety over Vottari's disappear ance. According to reports he has succeeded in running up many bills and those to whom the money is owed despair of ever being paid.
 fto ri u-aa x,-itb tha r-;-Is having number of friends among the fair sex. He has wife in Italy but whether he told his girl associ- ates of this fact is not known.
 Mayor Paonessa, Chief Hart and Chairman Dunn of the police com mission held a conference at police headquarters yesterday. It is said that the mayor is very anxious to effect Vottari's capture and impress ed this fact on Chief Hart and Chair man Dunn,
 If the New Britain police depart ment was equipped with red light signal system by which patrolmen can be notified that headquarters wants to speak with them, Vottari might never have gotten beyond the city limits. By this system, every policeman on a beat could have been informed of the details of the mur- der within few minutes after it was reported to headquarters and could have been on the watch for Vottari. He is said to have crossed Stanley street in the direction of St. Mary's cemetery within half an hour after the double shooting. As his face was cut from contact with the window In Mrs. Scorsoto's hone, through which he forced his way, and he was without hat, his detec- tion would have. been accomplished by policemen in that district.
 So swiftly have the police worked on the case that they have almost a complete story of Vottari's life dur ing recent years. They have learned that he worked in a munitions plant in France in 1920 and that he has been employed at different times in other European cities.

 Booze Kills Elm Outright
 Dr. Leak was asked by Dr. Henry T. Bray, chairman of the board of health to tell what the alcoholic situ- ation was. He replied that while cases Of alcoholism seem to be in- -creasing state hospitals have noticed a decrease in insane alcoholic pa- tents since the passage of the 18th Amendment. Tt used to be fad So say that If patient ever had a drink of beer in his life, he had al- c0holic insanity" he said.
 s'The present day booze either kills Ia man quick or produces short lived delirium that is over before he gets to an institution. In Bellevue they are getting a number of these cases and the man is either cured or dead in few days--frequently he's dead.
 "We don't get as many alcoholics as we did in pre-prohibition days but those we get are worse than any case of delirium tremens ever saw" -,2

 Eventual consolidation of all New England railroads Into one system, the stock of which would be held jointly by the four large trunk line systems of the east, has been sug- gested by bankers as a possible so- lution of sthe grouping problem in this section of the country. The larger trunk lines, 1t was indicated, would undertake to support such consolidation only in the event that New England industry felt unable to finance it. Recent discussions of the New England railroad grouping have reyolved about the possibility of using the Delaware and Hudson as a bridge route to link this ter ritory with the main arteries of traffic.
