Predicts That He Will
Therefore Be No1nin-
ated For Presidency
in 1928 Sees Smith
Out OF It.
Does Not Believe New
Yorker Would Have a
Chance for Nomination
Because of His Stand on
Prohibition.

New York, Nov. 20 R-Dry
democrats from the west and south
will nominate William Gibbs Nc
Adoo for the presidency in 1928, it
is believed by Edwin T. Meredith,
secretary OF agriculture In the Will
son administration. himself demo-
cratic presidential possibility.
Thinks Smith Out of 1t
Gov. Alfred Z. Smith OF New
York will be eliminated as posi-
bility by the adoption OF a dry plat
form, in Mr.. Meredith's opinion.
The formed secretary q agricul-
ture. who has been widely men
toned as a possible compromise
nominee, said yesterday he is not a
candidate. Later he gave his views
as to the democratic prospects.
I'm my judgment" he said, 1.-THE
next democratic national convention
will be controlled by the progressive
democrats OF the west and south. y
TIL platform will not be wet and
undoubtedly will include In its dec
laration Of party policy and program
a prohibition law enforcement plank.
This country is dry today. do not
believe that Gov. Smith consistently
could run on the sort of platform
the 1928 convention is mos. likely to
adopt.
McAdoo Gratifying Point
Mr.. McAdoo, he said. would be
"the rallying point" for the pro-
gressives in the 1928 convention.
He Is the only man within our
party around whom any considera-
bl group of ''progressives. q ma
jority OF whom also happen to be
drys, would gather to make their
stand against the vets and what
they regard as the "reactionary
east" 'a
Mr.. Meredith said he thought Nc
Adoo's relative strength would be
about the same" as in 1924. He
sincerely hopes" Introduction OF
McAdoo's name will not bring about
a repetition OF the 1924 deadlock.
which required 103 ballots to break.
However" Mr.. Meredith remark
ed, II expect it to be an interesting
convention"
Probably In the West
The convention will without a
doubt be held somewhere in the
middle west or west, in Mr.. Mere
diths opinion. "Cleveland. st. Louis,
or possibly Kansas City" he sug-
gested, he was certain it will not be
held in New York.
Governor Smiths recent election
for fourth terri in this state has
undoubtedly strengthened him." in
the opinion of Mr. Meredith, but not
enough to overcome sentiment
against him.
The New York World, an ardent
supporter Of Governor Smith, con-
siders the Meredith pronouncement
move to counter momentum ac-
quired by Gov. Smith in his reelec-
ton to fourth term.

BUDGET IS NEEDED
FOR j. S. DEFENSE
SS54,S45,000 for War Dept. and
S322,061,000 for Navy
S89,000,000 for Aviation
OYER S1,@0,000 WILL
Be FOR RATI0NS FOR MEN

Unless Navy Can Obtain Necessary
Funds, Several of the Older
Batleships Of Scouting Fleet Will
Have to go out OF Commission
Ffve-Year Aviation Program Also
Adds to Expenses Estimated.
Washington. Nov. 20.-LRl- APP
preparations for the army and navy
for the fiscal year 1928 have been
estimated by the budget bureau at
$354,345,00O for the war depart
ment and s322,061, 900 for the navy,
while provision has been made for
approximately $s9.oo0.ooO for avia-
ton In all services, the army and
navy journal says.
For strictly military purposes, It
will set forth, the war department is
given s269,345, 900, an increase over
the current appropriation of ap-
proximately $4,000. 900, and for nom
military use, including Panama
Canal activities. sS5,O0o,O00 is pro-
vided.
For the navy, the figure provided
is estimated at 100000 above the
budgets direct appropriations and
may include indirect appropriations
and contract authorization which
annually raise the total, but Is al
most 100000 less than this years
total.
Reason for Increase
The increase for the military es-
tablishment is necessary, the
Journal will say, to largely bear the
expense Of the five-year aviation
program authorized by not yet APP
propriated for by congress. This
plan led to the statement that for
the first time ut is definitely known
that the administration is commit
ted to policy Of absorbing this
additional cost in the appropriations
for the regular establishment"
!. The article further points out;
r That a million and a third dol
lars of the increase will be needed to
provide rations for the 5000 men
which a shortage this year made it
impossible to carry.
Must Curtail Strength
That the estimates for the navy
will force adoption OF serious cur
tailment of existing strength, the
budget providing for only S0,175
enlisted men against a recommend
ed $4,000.
That the navy. In event higher
figure is not eventually provided for,
Is prepared to place out of commits
sion five Of the six older battleships
of the scouting fleet, leaving one to
serve as flagship for the naval
forces in the Atlantic.
That naval aeronautics, will re-
ceive about $1,5o0,000 less, but it is
estimated that about three-fourths
OF the planes scheduled for con-
struction the second year under the
five-year program can be built be-
cause of standardization of types
and quantity buying now in effect.
That while funds available for
the army air corps will permit in a
large measure new plane construc-
ton provided for the second year,
the increase in funds does not
carry out to great extent the ma
terial DEVELOPMENT and other phases
of the program.
That the marine corps faces
curtailment OF funds and a subse-
quent reduction Of 1000 men. Re-
serves are well provided for in both

PLAN TO KILL BLIGHT
East Hartford Man Offers Sugges-
ton to Fight Disease that Kills OF
Chestnut Trees.

East Hartford. Conn. Nov. 20 Up
Possibility that the disastrous
chestnut blight which has nearly ex-
terminated that tree in North Amer
lea is due to infection carried into
the trees by moisture from the
ground and not to spores carried
from one tree to another by wind,
birds or insects is suggested in let
ter to the United States department
OF agriculture by II. Laver OF 1853
Connecticut Boulevard. East Hart
ford, who. after two and half years
Of study and experiment believes
that a sufficient quantity Of lime in
t ground around the tree will
check the spread OF the disease and
help reestablish the chestnut in this
country.
In experiments. 1t is said, Mr.,
LAYER has eliminated the cankers on
the bark which indicates presence of
the disease and completely cured
young sprouts which had been in
fected.

The news that Henry Stevens would

Mrs. Hall? Is he a hard, ruthless
man as pictured by the prosecution,
or is he the mild, wholehearted
sportsman, as he is represented by
the defense? His lawyers. of course,
have told him to be as kind-appear-

able person Mrs. Hall is. II were
in a mood to laugh, think should
laugh at that especially when Mrs.
Hall has sat during the whole trial
looking like craven image.
Friendly? Who can believe that?
I have had some experiences with
Mrs. Hall myself. She was my Sun

and inhuman that she never won the

Market Not Affected
 By Election Results

New York, Nov. 3 Rl-Wall Street which has habit of registering its reaction to outstanding news and business developments through the stock market, failed to show any outward manifestation of either ap- proval or disapproval of electoin re- suits in today's early trading. Prices fluctuated in the same uncertain manner that has characterized most sessions in recent weeks.
 The natural assumption was that Wall Street already had anticipated the results. Judged by the betting odds which prevailed earlier in tho week, the chief surprise was the de- feat of Senator Wadsworth In New York. Senator Buffers defeat in Massachusetts had been forecast in dispatches from the Boston branches of some of the large commission houses.
 The only activity directly associ- ated with the election was the strength and activity of the local fractions.
