CONCENTRATED NEWS
 DISPATCHES RECD.
tContinued from First Page)
Reports Not Confirmed

! Earlier in the day a report re- | ceired by the French Cable Co.,. stated that the radio operator at St. Pierre, Miquelon. had received word that Nungesser had been sight ed over New Foundland. This re- port lacked confirmation from any source.
 ! The Havas agency in New York advised it's home office in Paris that 1t had a definite report from St. Pierre, Miquelon, that the White Bird" had been definitely sighted over the island at S:15 o'clock this morning. Paris promptly staged a celebration. Later a St. Piere dis patch received in New York short iy after II o'clock stated that the Nungesser plane had not been sight | ed over the island up to 9 o'clock, Atlantic daylight time, today.
 1000 Miles More to Go. 1 The broad reaches Of the Eastern ' Atlantic still hold within their grasp the success or failure of the Nun sesser flight. Reported off Cape Race. New Foundland. the aviators ] have yet about thousand miles or sea to traverse in adverse weather conditions.
 i The weather off New Foundland was clear this morning. but off 10 the southwest the daring pioneers Of the air were now wineing their way with q lowering gasoline supply fac | ing mist and rain with low visibility that will try every bit of courage ! they can summon.
 Landing Difficult. I Aviators at Mitchell Field said that under the weather conditions now obtaining, if Captain Nungesser could make a landing in New York he would have performed a miracle even greater than that of crossing 1 the Atlantic. The archlights were turned on during the day at Mitchell l Field to aid the tliers.
 1 Evidence of the distressing flying weather in and about New York was plain when Commander Francesca 1 De Pinedo, the Italian fiier. was forced down in the heavy fog in Long Island sound on his flight to Philadelphia from Boston.
 No Word Received.
 If the White Bird' vas off Cape Race. New Foundland, her course would naturally lie across to Cape Canso. Nova Scotia, and then skirt ing the shore line of Nova Scotia past Cape Sable. the aviators would head the White Bird' for Boston and New York.
 Inquiries at noon at the Radio Corporation and independent wire less companies and the steamship companies with vessels at sea brought the response that no word had come from the White Bird"
 More Than 37 Hours
 New York. May 9 LP - Thirty seven hours had elapsed at one o'clock (eastern standard time) this afternoon since Captain Nungesser and Coli hoped off the ground at the flying field Le Bourget. near Paris, in their attempt to fly to this city. and no Substantiated adVices have come from any sources as to the wherea bouts of the aviators.
 One report from St. Pierre. Miquc- lon. that Nungesser was over New Foundaland this morning failed to confirmation. A dispatch to the New York Times from it's corres- pondent at Sydney, N. S., that the White Bird" was reported as pass ing Cape Race. New Foundland, at 10 o'clock this morning, has not been amplified.

bRA!NARD TALKS
 ABOUT POLITICS
Thinks Smith Would Give t. 0.
 P. Great Race

Hartford, May 2 UP)-Governor Alfred F.. Smith Of New York will give the republicans the Trace of their lives" in 1928. if he is nomi- ! mated for the presidency of the United States, Lieut J. Edwin Brain
 ard told the United Press today. 1 In his discussion of political af- fairs, both state and national Brain ard declared the matter Of his being q candidate for governor next year had not entered his mind. His Views on smith "1 don't for one minute believe that Smith will be elected" said Brainard, and l don't even predict that he will receive the democratic nomination. What I do believe is that he will certainly give the re- publcans a terrific race if he does get the nomination. 1 don't think
 that he will carry the state Of Con necticut but I feel that if he is nominated he will bring into the Connecticut house of representatives
  Speaking of his own aspirations
 to the chair now occupied by Gov ernor John H. Trumbull. Brainard laughed and said the matter had
 never entered his mind. He de- clared that the statement attributed to Representative John Lynch Of Orange that New Haven county is back of Rrainard" and that Brain ard is the next governor" was a misconstruction of Lynch's declara- ton.
 Lynch" he said, 'merely ad- dressed me as governor and left out the lieutenant part of the title. What he intended to say was Here is our next lieutenant governor but the papers Topped on his statement and construed it in another man. ner."
 No "Elcment' Vote Pre- e-campalgn statements by lead
 CTS to get certain votes mean ab- solutely nothing in the long run, ac- cording to Brainard, as ''it has been my experience during the past %
 years that there is no such thing as
 vote of a certain clement" 1 There is no such thing" he con
 tinucd, ''as the labor vote, there is
 no such thing as the League of 1 Women Voters vote and there is
 no such thing as religious vote. 1 When you come right down to it in
 the final analysis you vote and I vote just as our conscience dictates, just
 as We were brought up to vote. IL , is the same idea as that of a man
 changing his religion. He certainly
 will never do that unless there is something of tremendous issue at
 stake. and l assert that he won't , change his politics.
 The religious element will not enter the field if Smith is nomin- ated, Brainard said, because the is-
 sue has been raised and cleared too
 long before the election. In his l opinion the wet and dry issue will
 be the more vital of the two. Church Has No Place The church, according to Lieu tenant Governor Brainard, has no place in politics and should keep aloof from all matters of political nature. No clergyman should preach to his congregation regarding poll
 ties and no mention should even be
 made of it. he avcrrcd.

The 1927 session of the Connecti- cut general assembly las accom- plished much. Brainard said and there has been no greater example Of leadership eNemplitied in Connec- ticut than that shown by House Leader Ernest l.. Avecill of Bran- ford.'
 I.auds House Leader.
 I've knocked about political as- semblies for 'l quarter of a century, Erainard reminisced, and I've never seen anything like Averi!is leader ship. It is nothing short of remark able. Every time that a question of importance came up Averill merely said the word and the house did his bidding
 Even when Averill was absent the house accepted the word of Judge Johnson of Manchester as it believed that he merely ladiated the opinion of IAverill."
 The senate, Brainari declared, was not quite as even tempered un- der Shaw, but the senate accom- plished much, also, he said. There are always one or two bolsheviks in the senate" he said laughingly.
 What surprised me- he said in concluding his discussion Of the state legislature, was the manner in which Avcrill overcame the opposi- ton of men of strong will and mind"

Wants More Democrats.

II is the hope of Liou.. Governor Rlainard that the next session of the legislature will have more demo- crats in it than that of this year.
 I'm republican, rock ribbed. 7" he declared, but l am thoroughly convinced that what the republican party needs is more opposition to keep it aware of the fact that some day stiff opposition is liable to be met. A spirit of complaisance now prevails. This should not be so.
 I've must keep keenly alive to the fact that there are other people around who have a following and that to keep our following in the ascendancy we must give the peo- pie a clean, honest and business like administration. That is what we are doing and will always strive to do. I hope that more democrats will be here in 1929 and I am con- vinced that there will be plenty of them if AT Smith runs for presi- dent"

American boycott against products OF
the United States received a reverse
yesterday when President Gales issued
decree suspending the import duty
on the next 1000 tons of wheat

CHECKER EXPERT TRAINS
LIKE FOOT BALL PLAYER
BY tn. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. March 4.-The checker
player who wishes to rise above the
average must train like a. foot ball
player, says NJ. Springer, young
Paris accountant who startled the
checker world by playing and winning
two matches simultaneously, blind
fold
The feat, he explained, was much
harder than that of the chess player
who plays a dozen or so matches at
the same time. The absence of dis
tinctive playing pieces, such as
knights, bishops and castles. makes
the play much harder to remember,
he declared. The French checker
game, 1t must be added, is played upon
a board of 100 squares, and many
intricate moves are permitted.
NJ Springer abstains from all alco.
hol and tobacco, diets himself and
devotes much time to outdoor exer-
else before an important match.
