SINCERITY OF
 DEMO. B0LTER
 IS QUESTIONED
Al Smith Comes Back at Former Senator Owen
 of Oklahoma

ALBANY, N. Y, July 27.- Sincerity of former Senator Rob ert l.. Owen. of Oklahoma. in bolting the Democratic Party, is questioned by Gov. Al Smith who recalled Owen as q Presiden tial aspirant himself four years ago and sought support of Tammany Hall which he is now assailing.
 In q formal statement, Gov. Smith said in part: T am natur- ally sorry to see Senator Owen leave the Democratic Party be- cause of my nomination. How ever, he is a free American eiti- zen and has the right to choose the party which best suits his ideas
 My greatest regret comes from one reason advanced, because it compels me to question his sin cerity. When the convention was in deadlock four years ago, Owen asked me to use my influ- ence to secure support of the Tammany delegation for him."
 Owens Position
 Yesterday former Senator Owen declared he would oppose Smith vigorously and would endorse Hoover.
 I won't stand for Smith Ok lahoma will be against the Tam many government the same as against Ware and his govern ment Women in my State and other Western States won't ac- cept Smith. Hoover, in my opin- ion, is the best qualified man ever presented by any party in ! America for the Presidency dur ing my life time," said Owen.

PARSONS HARTFORD

Jed Harris. the producer of "Broadway." now in his 2Sth year. is known as ''the infant prodigy" among theatrical producers The in- teresting side of his phenomenal sue cess with the production of Broad way" is that Philip Dunning and George Abbott, who worked with Harris on this famous drama of the icabarets, which is coming to Par sons theater tonight for an engage ment of one week, is that they also are comparatively young men.
 Broadway" is Harris third pro- duction. the other two having been Weak Sisters and Love Elm and Leave 'Em." Cunning. who wrote the original script is 34. Originally, the script is said to have been chief ly breezy talk, weak on stage situa- tions. That supplied the need for George Abbott who. with the matu- rity of his 36 years, and with eXperi- ence as actor. playwright and pro- ducer, gave it the theatrical effect iveness it had lacked.

oY WosIey'S life which somebody has described as 'tha aftergiow.' Wesley had . privilege given to him as very few men have. Wesley had gone out of the church in the beginning because he WAS not permitted to preach in it. He now stayed out of the churches because no ono church in all Europe would hold one-tenth part of the congregations who came to hear him. Always the burden of his message was that text-'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
 ~What are the outstanding things that Wesley accomplished, and what has he given to Methodism and the world that we did not have or did not understand before he came?
 First, he drove home to the heart of the whole world the special im- plication of religion. Europe of the 18th century into which Wesley was born was different from Europe of the 20th century, and it is due very largely to the influence that Wesley had upon the churches of his day. He taught the preachers and the people lesson they could never for get. We learned from Wesley that he who would stand in the holy place must come with clean hands and pure heart, and there is a high CT type of ministers and people in the pews worshipping in the churches today because Wesley lived.
 "The second thing was to make religion personal. He hsd had an experience of his own in Aldersgate street. He did not insist that every body should have an experience of that kind: He did impress upon his hearers that everyone can have his own personal experience of the same power of Jesus Christ. He doesn't have to listen to what some preach CT says about him; it can be the mans own personal possession, and he can speak with conviction what he knows in his own life.
 "The third thing was to give reli- gion its social implication. There never could be any mistake in the minds of men after Wesley's min istry was over, that people could stand in pulpits and sit in pews warm and comfortable and happy and with all the necessities of life. while their brothers all around were naked. hungry, thirsty and in pris- on. Wesley drove it home again and again and again to the hearts of his hearers that real religion meant an interest in those who were not so well off as we are.
 "l want to say to all this morn ing, es my closing word, that the English-speaking church, or the church anywhere in this goth cen tury is not the same place it was in the 18th century, end it is due very largely to the fact that this little man gave up a omfortable profes- sorship at Oxford or a benefit some where in the Church of England. and walked out, mounted a soap box and began to preach. travelled to the far corners of Europe thousands Of miles, lifted his voice again and again until it penetrated to every nook and corner of the land, and never rested until he was laid in his grave beside the roaring roads of London"
