 SMITH WRECKING
 PARTY, MILAN SAYS Expect Reflection Of N. Y. Cam
 paiSn in Election Of 1928 WALKER MAKES DENIAL
Tammany Selection AnswcTs Various Claims of Opponent and Proclaims Stand on Pure Food Laws,

New York, Sept. R1Personal exchanges between Governor Smith and w. R. Hearst have subsided while the principals in the primary campaign are talking municipal matters such as garbage disposal and the five cent fare.
 There is some speculation as to the effect of the Smith-Hearst row on the United States senatorship next year and on the national cam paign in 1928, and as far as the present city campaign Is concerned republicans are shedding no tears over the democratic strife.
 John P. Cohalan, the mayors campaign manager, Is out with q statement accusing Governor Smith of attempting 10 wreck the demo- cratic party In New York.
 In two speeches on Staten Island last night Mayor Hylan accused both Governor Smith and Senator Walker, the Tammany candidate for mayor. of doing nothing to stop the sale of putrid meat. Senator Walk CT was member of the legislative committee on agriculture and attor- ney for five packing concerns the mayor charged, when one concern sold meat in this city which 1t could not sell anywhere else.
 Senator Walker denied the charge. He pointed to his support of pure food bills in the legislature.
 Tammany leaders have moved to spike the five-cent faro issue by in- lducing supporters to call special meeting of the municipal assembly next Wednesday to pass an ordi- lnance submitting any increased fare proposals to a referendum. Mayor Hylan described 1t as Q "political maneuver," but said he would vote for the bill. One of the high lights of the mayors appeals to the voters is that he has kept carfares down.
 A supreme court injunction has been Issued prohibiting the broad casting of political speeches from the municipal radio station. Mayor Hylan has been the only candidate using the station. The suit for an Injunction brougst by taxpayers l failed just before the primary cam- paign got well under way.
 Republican insurgents, William M Bennett and John J. Lyons, accused Frank D. Waterman, organization candidate, causing the doors @of sfs' publican clubs to be closed to them Mr. Lyons again called Mir. Water mans campaign a publicity stunt fol his business. Mir. Waterman In tell, ness administration, criticised the Hylan regime and Tammany which supported Hylan twice.

Fez French Morocco, Sept. 5 R The French troops all along the front continued 10 mark time yester- day with tho exception of the en- gineers and other technicians, who were busy making good roads bet ter and tuning up the transport ser vice general so that the proposed French drive against the Riffians may be undertaken under the best possible conditions.
 French airmen, as usual, daily are skimming over enemy positions bombing them or spying out his lat est movements, from observations reported to headquarters by the aviators the Riffians appear to fear a Spanish offensive on the Melilla front and are hurrying strong con- tingents of their regular forces to- ward that sector.
 It Is reported that Abd-El- Krim, the Riffian chieftain recently left headquarters at Aidir for an un- known destination. It Is presumed in military circles here. however, that he has proceeded to the western wing. The growing activity of the Riffians there Is considered in French army circles In Fez to indi- cate the imminence of a Riffian at tack on the Franco Spanish posi- tions on the principle that an attack Is the best defense. Apparently in confirmation of this the Caid of Set te is said to have sent messengers to call Caid's of the region advising them that Abd-El -Krim is about to attack Issoual and Ouezzan.
 Quezzan, French Morocco, Sept. 5 P)-The American flyers of the Lafayette Escadrille made their de- but as corporate unit on the battle front today and took part In raids on one of the most important Of the Riffian military centers.
 Ouezzan was humming with &C., tivity last night. From the build Ing where the American aVlators are billited could be seen the bat teries of French 75's shelling the hills occupied by Riffians. Clouds of smoke rose In as semi-circle about IQuezzan, coming from underbrush set aflire by Adb-el-krim's tribes men in the hopes of impeding the 1TraDch advance
 The air group of which the Ameri- can squadron is unit is commanded by Major Dangelzor, one of Frances B best flying officers.

St. Augustine. Fa., Sept. 5 Ry- Tho St. Augustine Record late yes- terday saiG Arthur Alman, local amateur radio operator, yesterday talked with the U. s. s. Lynchburg. with the destroyers in the Pacific. and learned the PN-9 No, 1 had been found with all aboard safe, Information from official sources, however. failed 10 confirm this re- port anl authorities gave little credence to 1t.
 The Record says the Lynchburg was about 400 miles south of the Sa- moan Islands when Alman talked with it. The amateur used a 3Sb- meter wave length and said he talked in telegraph code. The story reads:
 Young Alman asked the wireless operator on board the Lynchburg what he had heard from the PN-9 No. and the reply came back, says AIman, was forced down because our fuel was exhausted and will re- sume the journey when refueled.'
 The local operator asked If the PN-9 crew was safe and the reply was Yes. all safe.'
 "The local boy thought all the de- tails of the rescue would be in the papers, so asked no further ques- tions. He was both surprised and alarmed when he was told that the Associated Press had no word from the PN-9."
 The record says Alman at first de- clined to make public his name or that of the warship, because he was afraid he would get the ships op- orator in trouble. When Admiral Eberle, chief of the naval bureau of operations. gave his authority for the operator to make public all his information he promptly compiled with the request.

Intensive Search Going on for Lost Plane, Wireless
 Message Disregarded

Honolulu. Sept. R)---New and larger rescue efforts are being put forth by naval forces in this district in the search for the missing sea- plane PN-9 number 1 which disap- pcared nearly 90 hours ago some where on the broad Pacific not many miles from the Hawaiian ls- lands. Faint hope for the safety of Commander John Rodgers and his four companions were aroused when the tender Whipporwill reported that three widely separated flares had been seen on Tuesday night.
 A naval scout plane piloted by Lieutenant Paterson was forced down yesterday off the coast of the Island of Kauai. The identity of the plane was unkown for many hours and led to a report that it was probably the missing PN-9 number 1. This was corrected by navy officers last night when they identified the Peterson plane. AS lb'ulSllullL tltl SUI was iblt tp make effective repairs and take the air, leaving his towing sampan. nv al officials considered the incident so slight that 1t was not then re- ported to the press.
 Surface ships, submarines and seaplanes are pressing an intensive search. A submarine screen after covering hundreds of square miles without sighting the missing plane, or any wreckage is proceeding southward in the belief that the plane may have drifted in that di- rection Destroyers accompanying the fleet which is returning from Australia and Samoa are also being rushed to Hawaiian waters to join Tn the search In the faint hope that the ocean may give up its secret.
