Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The op-
position to Governor Al Smith $
nomination has been materially set
back by withdrawal of Senator
Walsh of Montana in favor of
Smith, according to the accepted
view of party factions publicly and
privately expressed here today.
Senator Reed of Missouri will
carry On his fight but primarily-as
he says-so that the Houston con-
vention may have an opportunity of
voting on his issue of anti corrup-
tion and pro-popular government.
Senator Heflin of Alabama still
declines to concede Smiths nomina-
ton. He says the opposition will
rally around Governor Vic Donahey,
of Ohio, who is not q candidate and
will not have his home state dele
CATION.
Walsh's Montana delegation will
be thrown to Smith by the state
convention here next Monday and
William G.. McAdoo, Smith s old op-
ponent, is expected to retire from
any further efforts to prevent his
nomination.
Reed In To Stay
Reeds contest is expected to be
carried on in a less intensive man
ner than heretofore, though he has
made it clear he is in to stay. In a
statement issued after Walsh s
withdrawal, Reed said he entered
the contest because he held that
some one representing Jefferson
ian democracy and devoted to the
cleansing of Washington ought to
be willing to undertake the task. -
Smith may make his first public
appearance of the campaign next
week for the senate committee in
vestigating expenditures may go to
Albany to hear him. Eight presl-
Dental candidates now in Washing
ton will be called before the COM
mittee Monday to tell of contribu-
tions and expenses.
The group includes candidates
Hoover, Curtis of Kansas; Goff of
West Virginia; Borah, of Idaho;
Norris of Nebraska; Reed of Mis-
souri,; George of Georgia and Hull
of Tennessee.
Walsh also will be called to tell
if he made any expenditures.
