ASK CHANGE IN
VOLSTEAD ACT
Republicans and Democrats
Of New York on Record Pa :
vOring Modification

New York. Sept. 28-tA-Both Re-
publican and Democratic parties in
New York are now in favor of modi-
Tying the Volstead act. Their chief
candidates for the November election
are for modification.
Republicans were on record today
as favoring not only prohibition en-
forcement but referendum on state
determination of alcoholic content of
beverages. They adopted their plat
form at a convention in Madison
Square Garden last night
The Democrats. known TO favor
modification Of the VOlstcad act, de-
ferred adoption of theirs until today.
The Democratic convention is meeting
ut Syracuse.
Tonight the Republicans will re-
nominate James w. Wadsworth for
senator and name Representative
Ogden L. Mills for governor. The
Dem ocrats will nominate Governor Al
Smith for fourth term and name
Robert +. Wagner, justice of the state
supreme court for senator.
The Republican platform was
adopted without dissent, notwith-
standing the desire Of minority for
a state enforcement act. This was
taken to mean that the drys' Opposi-
tiOn to the nomination Of Mills will be
futile.

Coolidge Greets
M0rticians, Thinks
They're Bricklayers

Washington, Sept. 28.--LF-Morti-
clans are "bricklayers" to some un-
named aide at the White House. And
the Misunderstanding, relayed to
President Coolidge rs he received
200 undertakers yesterday, left him
in ignorance Of the occupation of the
men with whom he was conversing.
A Crowded engagement calendar
prevented the chief executive from
knowing the identity Of his visitors
before they began filing past his
desk.
"Who are these men," he asked
one Of the office aides.
The question was transmitted to
Everett Sanders, secretary to the
president.
"Morticians," he replied. The re-
cipient Of the information, who was
TO relay Il tb the president, looked
slightly pussled, but by the time he
reached President Coohdge's desk the
problem had been solved.
"Bricklsysss," he told President
Coolidgs sotto voice and the delega-
tion continued past the desk to the
end.
