BACK ID NEW YORK
 ID PLAN CAMPAIGN
Democratic NOmlpee Returns To-
 day-Smlth's Future in Doubt

New York, July il,-AfteT a nights rest at his home at Locust Valley, John w. Davis, democratic nominee fer president, returns to New York today 10 give further consideration to campaign plans al The home of his legal associate, Frank l., Polk, which he is making his city headquarters
 An doubt about the attitude Of Wil- ham Jennings Bryan towards the head of the ticket seems to have been dlspelled by Mir. Rryan's statements that his support would he foriheom- Ing, Mir Bryan and his brother Gov efnnr Charles W, Bryan of Nebraska, nominee for vice president, dined last night with Mr. Davis at the Polk residence.
 | There remains some wonder as to tho position of W. G. MeAdao in the campaign, Tho New York World toe day prints II front page story aug, gestng that Mir MeAdoo may form another party, possibly with the aid of William Randolph Hearst. whose newspapers have indicated that the publisher Is far from pleased with the choice Of the democratic convention,
 McAdoo's Attitude
 Mir. MeAdoo has maintained silence since sending telegram to Mir. Davis limited in effect to the words: "Please accept my congratulations" Some of Mr. McAdoo's friends who doubt the suggestion of bolt, point out that MT. Davis has received by wireless the congratulations of Bernard NJ. Bar uch. n warm McAdoo supporter in the convention fight, of Miss Margaret Wilson, MT. McAdoo's sister-in-law, and other active McAdoo partisans. Miss Wilson was presented to Mr. Davis yesterday by Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman. a McAdoo supporter and gave her congratulations in person.
 New York Press Comment
 New York papers are frankly skep- 'ical of the attitude toward the na- tional ticket of Mayor Hylan, who has had the constant support of Mir. Hearst and some even suggest that a sinith-Hylan battle for control of Tammany looms.
 Some political circles expect that New York win be the center of the Davis campaign. With 226 electroral votes necessary for success and with Davis reasonably assured of 147 from the solid south plus Maryland and Kentucky, according to these opn- ions, the 45 of the Empire state will be vital and next to New York much attention must he devoted to Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
 The fact that MT. Davis has indi- cated that shortly he will select temporary residence making him ac- cessible is taken to corroborate the opinion that New York state will be the main battle-ground.
 There is much speculation as to the | future political career of Governor Smith. who endorsed the national ticket in speech before the conven- ton. Asked whether he would run for governor again in the fall, he ex- | pressed preference to return to pri- vate business. There are suggestions that he has senatorial ambitions for 1926. E-

DAVIS ALSO A GOLFER
If Elected White House Again Will Have an Ardent Deyotee of This Popular Outdoor Sport.

New York, July 11.--If the demo- cratic nominee is elected there will be another golfer in the White House. Wilson and Harding played but Coolidge does not.
 Thousands of duffers won't envy John w. Davis score. He's happy when he breaks a hundred on the Piping Rock course near Locust Valley.
 Beau Brummel Walter Hagen has nothing on Mir. Davis when it comes to sartorial perfection on the links, however.

ENGLISH DERBY GOES
TO DERBY'S ENTRANT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. @
EPSON DOWNS, England, June 4.
The Earl of Derby's colt Sansovino
won the classic Derby by six lengths
on slow. wet track here today, thus
for the first time in 1877 years bringing
triumph on EPSON Downs to the family
which founded the historic race in 1880.
Seven years after the race was
founded the then Lord Derbys horse,
Sir Peter Teazle. captured the classic
event. Ever since then, as Lord Derby
remarked the other night, his family
has been trying to win the Derby.
Today it finally scored a brilliant sue
cess through Sansovinos fine perform
ance.
Sansovino, by Swynford out of Con-
dolette, who had been made favorite in
the event overnight, was to 2 against
in the betting.
Second place was captured by Wis.,
count Astor's st. Germans, by Swyn-
ford out of Hamoaze, at 100 to z
against, a neck ahead of Somerville
Tattersalfs Hurstwood. by Gay Cru
sader out of Bleasdale. at 90 TO !, in
third place.
A field of twenty-seven horses start
ed in the classic
Lord Astor's colors, in second place
today. were by no means new in that
position, having occupied 1T on four
previous occasions.
There was one false start in today's
race, some of the entrants covering a
full furlong before being called back.
The horses were unruly at the post
and the tape was broken several
times.
Nothing short of a royal victory
could have thrilled and pleased the
crowd more than triumph for the
house of Derby, and the earl was
cheered by. hundreds of thousands in
the enormous throng as he led his
winning horse into the paddock. 1t
was perhaps the proudest moment of
his life.
Sansovinos time was minutes.
IS 2-5 seconds. which is 12 is seconds
slower than the record Rounding
Tattenham corner, Sansovino held
the premier position. He kept the
lead from then on and won in a

One Of George Washington's great
est troubles in developing it's ath-
letics has been in financing the va
rious teams. The new arrangement
will place the university'S athltsti C
system in a position where it prob
ably will have a greater income than
any other institution in the sect kon,
which means almost certain Succn rs.
Heretofore the Hatchetites lave
had a system which involved a VOL
untary fee for athletics. Students
were expected to pay so much per
year, part of which went for the
Cherry Tree, part for the student pa
per, part for medical treatment and
the remainder for athletics. Chm
paratiyely few students subscribed
and the arrangement was anyt.h in <
but successful. Under the conspuI
sorry fee, though, all regular students
will pay and all special Students who
take six hours or more per week.
Board action which put into effect
the new arrangement looks toward
the development of student spirit and
the building up of greater univer-
sity. 1t is part of the general plan
originated and now being put into
effect by the new president, William
university may be truly great which
does not have true university
spirit around which to coalesce its
student mind.
George Washington's board of
trustees this morning at one move
took the step which should place the
university among the forefront of
eastern institutions, at least as far
as athletics is concerned. And to
Judge by what modern educators
seem to think athletics play a big
part in the building of the unive rsity.
