Nine EASTERN
STATES LEAN
TO AL SMITH
Hughes and Hoover Backing
Strong; Coolidge Still
: Seen in Race.
BY PAUL r. MALLON

OANS AONPSs 49, NV
ernor Al Smith of New York ap-
pears to hold the dominant position
among Democrats of the Eastern
States north of the Potomac, ac-
cording to a political survey under
taken by United Press bureaus.
This showed also that sentiment
among Eastern Republicans yet has
not crystallized wholly and that
President Coolidge's choose" state
ment has lent some confusion to the
situation.
Charles E. Hughes and Herbert
Hoover are reported more discussed
than any other Republican POSSIBLE
tiles, though some Eastern sections
report many influential leaders
clinging to the view that Mr.. Cool
idge still is much to be reckoned
with.
The survey was based upon state
ments of party chieftains and ex-
pressions Of opinion of leading
newspapers and observers.
Smith Leads in Nine
OF the eleven States in this in
dustrial area, Smith is said to have
prospects of a majority of conven-
ton delegates from nine.
In Pennsylvania the Republican
situation is highly unsettled, &C
cording to Governor John S. Fisher
Andrew Mellon, dominant political
power of the State, has denied he
now is backing Hughes, although it
is considered probable he may do so
1t is also considered possible that
the delegation may be pledged to
Mellon, enabling him to do what ne
considers best in the convention.
The East, in a word, is pictured
with its Democrats strong for Smith
and it's Republicans generally di-
vided between Hughes and Hoover,
with Hughes having a little the bet
ter of it, because of the power OF
New York's ninety-one delegates.
Except for Maine and Pennsyl-
vania, Smith appears to be we'll in
the lead. The reports indicate
Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode
Island Democrats may be expected
to support him, with New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut Democrats
leaning strongly toward him.
Sure of Own State
Political authorities foresee that
he should have his home State
New York, as well as New Jersey
and much strength in, Pennsylvania
and Delaware.
Maryland has a Governor Ritchie
boom, but Richie would swing his
delegation for Smith as long as the
New York Governor has a chance
it is said
The Republican situation in New
England is less clear cut. William
M. Butler, Massachusetts,, chairman
fthe Republican national commit
tee, says there is no tendency tt
discuss any one but Mr.. Coolidge
Charles H. Times. Boston Repub-
lican leader, said he thought Hughes
is strongest in Massachusetts, al

Hampshire, and Governor Spauld.
ing of that State, have come out fol
Hoover, as have Governor Ralph o
Brewster and former Governor Per-
cival Baxter of Maine. Moses says
Hoover will have Vermont also.
j. Henry Roraback, national COM
mitteeman of Connecticut, says his
State will be for Mr.. Coolidge fol-
reelection.
New York is for its favorite son
Hughes. In Maryland. New Jersey
and Delaware, Republicans have
been talking about Mr. Coolidge and
there has been no definite swing to
any other candidate.

points to 272A, while the new stock
opened steady at 1861, later easing
slightly. United States Steel de-
clined to it's previous closing price,
International Combustion Engi-
neering spurtedt is to SIX on the
news the company had signed a
large contract, American Bosch
Magnetic rose on renewed buying
stimulated by its Ford contract, and
a long list of industrials and utili-
ties made smaller advances.
Rails Firm
Rails, with the exception of Atchi-
son, which lost IL to 1919, were
firm. Motor shares held steady and
oils moved up slightly. United States
Rubber was again in demand, at
higher prices.
Business news over the weekend
was mixed in character, leaving the
speculative sentiment divided as to
the immediate course of :, stock
prices. Leading industrial stocks
were stimulated by a statement of
the National Industrial Conference
Board that trade progress in the
last few months inspired confidence
rather than apprehension. 1t was
asserted the recent stiffening OF
commodity prices was indicative OF
normal seasonal increase in demand
for various products.
Steel Common moved up to the
best levels of the current recovery
and General Motors issues were
again in urgent demand. Mont
gomery Ward led the merchandising
class, attaining it's highest levels of
the year,
Buoyancy of industrials was
somewhat restrained by backward
ness in rails. Atchison was under
pressure following publication of its
August statement showing a de-
crease in net operating income COM
pared with August, 1926.
Stocks turned irregular on selling
in the general list following bearish
advices sent out by commission
houses. It was argued that brok-
erage loans would show another In
crease this week due to heavy bor-
rowings necessitated by the delivery
of new General Motors shares. Any
authorities felt it might be well to
be out OF stocks until the markets
reaction to the loan figures could be
aScertained.
Trading Falls
Selling inspired by this reasoning
was absorbed in impressive style
Trading fell off substantially in vol
ume on price recessions, indicating
important interests had not been
disturbed by bearishness flooding
the street.
It was pointed out the market has
been Indifferent to gains in coll
lateral borrowings since they have
been accompanied by corresponding
increases in total bank resources.
Saturdays clearing house states
ment showed a reduction Of $780,
100000 in loans, indicating the gen.
eral credit supply was not feeling
an excessive drain.
Meanwhile member banks are
leaving the Federal reserve reser-
voirs untouched, while persistent
strength in bonds indicates a longer
trend of money is toward easement.
