BORAH REBUkES NY. REPUBLICANS
Says They Are Afraid of Al
 Smiths Shadow.

Washington, July 2S CP' - Re publican leaders in New York state were rebuked yesterday by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, who said in a statement that they were attempting to sidestep the prohibition \ question and were afraid of "Al Smiths shadow
 They are in constant state of fright" he asserted. If Al Smith would retire from politics and in vent some way of convincing them that he would retire, we would likely have a wholly different pro- gram.
 "They were afraid to declare for a repeal of the eighteenth amend ment as it would lose them the dry vote. They were afraid to declare for it's enforcement lest it would lose them the wet vote, so they started out to do two things: First, to have referendum that could be construed in a dozen different ways on the stump and for candidate for governor who had no views on the prohibition question, never had had any and never could have. "The republican party was or ganized to stand for the federal constitution against this plea oi discretion as to it's enforcement il the different states.'

Legitimacy of Son of
 British Nobility Upheld

London, July 2S CPl - An echo of one of the most stirring divorce cases England has ever known was heard today when a declaration was granted under the legitimacy act establishing the right of little Godfrey Russell, son of the Hon. John Hugo Russell, to succeed to the title, Baron Ampthill, now held by his paternal grandfather.
 John Hugo Russell sued his wife, Christabel, for divorce in 1922, all leging he was not the father of her child, and the case furnished meat for gossips throughout the long hearing, which resulted in dis agreement by the jury. At the sec ond hearing, Russell was given a decree.
 The wife appealed from the de- cision only 10 lose in the court of appeals, but ultimately she took the case to the house Of lords, which reversed the decisions of the lower courts and revoked the de- cree.
