AL. SMITH TIES
MAYOR HYLAN UP
TO ", R. HEARST
New York's Governor SAYS
Hylan Uses Canned Speech
es Prepared by Editor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Gov. AL
fred E. Smith in speeches last night
continued to tie the candidacy Of
Mayor John F. Hylan for re-elec-
tion to the political ambitions OF
William Randolph Hearst He ac-
cused Mayor Hylan of using canned
speeches prepared in the Office Of
Hearst's New York Morning Am
|erican.
Gov. Smith declares that Hearst
has proved over and over again that
he has no claim or right to advise
Democrats as to what they should
do at primary election. He has
repeatedly called attention to the
circumstance that Hearst's last
political activity in New York City
was in opposition to the Demo-
cratic Party when he formed fus-
ion with the Republicans in put
ting for Fusion judiciary ticket
on which Hearst and the Republi-
cans divided the Offices man for
man between them. The ticket was
overwhelmingly defeated. He has
also called attention to Hearst's
previous leadership of the Independ-
ence League which on several Oc-
casions fused with the Republicans
in municipal and State campaigns.
The New York primary campaign
will terminate Monday and the cleo
tion will occur Tuesday. The cam
paign has developed intense bitter
ness.
John Fl. McCooey, leader Of the
Brooklyn Democratic organization,
which is the largest element behind
the candidacy OF Mayor Hylan has
iterated and reiterated again and
again that the Brooklyn Democracy
will support the candidate nom-
mated, and has promised in behalf
of Mayor Hylan to abide by the
primary decision.

Indiana Republicans Seek
Wider Sphere of Control

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Sept. 12.-In-
birthplace of much of the country's s
political strategy, has contributed
what its Republican leaders consid-
Ter a new advance in politics. The
Republican state committee has an
nOunced that hencefOrth the party
control of municipal government, as
well as at control of the larger poll
Itical units of the state.
With municipal elections slated
for November 3 in several hundred
Indiana towns and cities, the Repub-
lican party has offered the services
Iof speakers or organizers to local
organizations desiring them.
While affirming it's unwillingness to
interfere in local elections when they
hinge entirely on local issues, or at
tempt to conduct municipal cam
Ipaigns on the basis OF political Is
sues which affect state or national
campaigns, the Republican state COM
mittee sets forth several reasons why
control of municipal governments Is
properly goal of organized political
parties.
The national administration ad-
vocacy of economy in government,
lalso a plank in the platform Of the
Republican State administration in
Indiana, may with propriety be car
Iried clear to the smallest unit of
government, the committee believes; !;
and because emphasis on tax reduc-
tion can bear greater fruit in the
municipality, which consumes so
prepOnderant share OF the total
tax, the party sees virtue in carrying
the same principles into effect in
local governments.

CAPT. RODGERS
MAKES REPORT
j ABOUT FLIGHT
Fliers Sending Out Position
When Gas Failed
Crew Reach Honolulu

HONOLULU, Sept. IL. Capt.
men of the seaplane PN91 arrived
here today aboard the destroyer
MacDonough completing the San
Francisco-Pearl Harbor journey.
Capt Rodgers made his official
statement regarding the flight of
the seaplane as follows:
Leaving San Francisco on the
afternoon of August 81, the wind
was light, from the northwest,
gadually hauling to the North.
Navigation was entirely on dead
reckoning and no attention was CIV
en- to radio bearings. We flew
close to the clouds. The engines
were working perfectly. There were
no signs of leaks or any other
trouble. The wind changed north
east when we were 600 miles from
San Francisco and it was lighter
than we had hoped for.
Gas Giving Out.
In the morning, September /, 1t
was evident the gasoline supply was
running short and it was doubtful
whether we would be able to reach
Kahulus, due to the absence of fav-
Orable winds.
About noon on September l, we
decided the gasoline supply would
carry us midway between the U. S.
s. Aroostook and u. s. s. Tanager.
We decided to land on the Aroos-
took, refuel and then take-off for
Honolulu.
Gasoline Fails.
We received radio bearings and
changed our course. AS we ap-
preached westward it became evil
dent we could not reach the ARGOS
took and l started to write mes
sage regarding our plans and give n
clue as to our whereabouts and
just then the gasoline gave out.
Lieut.. Connell made beautiful
landing in the heavy swells. We
could not use the radio and determ
ined our position as being about
so miles north of the Aroostook.
Sail Before Wind.
I'VE rugged q radio antenna and
received everything in the air and
sailed before the wind hoping to
make Oahu. We made fifty miles
day. We cut fabric from the
lower wing and rugged up foresail.
The weather conditions were mod
crate. Seas were high. Our only
concern was our water supply and
depended upon small still when
the water finally gave out which
was on the sixth day. Our food was
rationed and this gave out also on
the sixth day. The water in the
radiator was not drinkable due to
solution to prevent leaks. On the
eighth day we caught about two
gallons of water from the rain
which fell This enabled us to sur
vive, consequently we were in very
good condition when we arrived
at Nawiwili.
THE outstanding feature OF the
trip is that the seaplane is a great
ship and capable of maintaining it.
