Gov. Al Smith Loses
 The Use of His Voice

Albany, N. Y, June (AP)-Gov- ernor Smiths illness, occasioned by throat trouble which has left him practically voiceless, has necessitated cancellation of 1,041 engagements.
 The governor is expected to return to his desk in the capital shortly, according to his Secretary, George B. Graves, but physicians have or dered him to give his throat long rest. As result he was forced to cancel the numerous engagements, many of them for personal confer ences.
 Since the first of the year, it was said, the governor has been much sought as a speaker. Some of the invitations came from outside of the state and one requested his presence at the Central Canada exhibition at Ottawa
 The governor now remains at the executive mansion where he is re- .ceiving treatment by throat special istss He has no visitors, outside the members of his family and his secre- tary.

privilege of being personally con- tacted by a representative of the bureau.
 Major Bannigan Is of the opinion that the large amount of extra work ertailed by this campaign was fully justified by the results obtained. Each of the claimants who has re- instated his insurance has provided cffectually for himself in the event that he becomes permanently and totally disabled and for his depend ents in the event of his death. It is a tribute to the sense of responsibil- ity possessed by the eX-soldier that he has responded so well. The ex- peditious handling of the applica- tions for reinstatement in the Vet erans' bureau office. by reason of the assignment of special clerks for these duties, has brought forth many compliments from the applicants. Major Bannigan expects that the last minute rush will bring the to- tai number of reinstatements to over two million, the limit set at the inauguration of the campaign,
 In order that every possible op- portunity may be afforded for per- sonal consultation. the Veterans Bureau offices in Hartford. New Haven and Bridgeport will remain open until 5 o'clock this afternoon.
 While the flying squadron was in New Britain, insurance to the amount of s35,000 was reinstated or converted by the disabled men re- siding In that city.
