WILL LAUNCH THE
 BOOM FOR SMITH
While Governor Is South Friends
 Will Be Busy

Albany, N. Y. April } tR-When Governor Alfred E. Smith returns from his spring vacation in North Carolina somewhere around April c2, he will be formally and pub licly hailed by the democracy of his home state as a candidate for the democratic presidential nomina- ton.
 Final decision to launch the gov ernor's candidacy during his ah. sence from the state was reached at two hour conference here yes terday between the "big three" of tho democratic party of the state smith. George W. Olvany. leader of Tammany Hall. and Lieut. Gov ernor Edwin Corning, chairman of the state committee. Formal an- nouncement that the governor will enter the national political arena will be made at meeting of the state committee in New York city April IT,
 Officially yesterdays conference was for the purpose of discussing New York's slate Of delegates and alterna tes- at-large 10 the demo- cratic national convention. the gov- ernor declared at its conclusion, but every indication pointed to the in clusion of more important political subjects It was the final oppor- tunity for the three leaders to get together before the state committee meeting, with the governor planning to leave early next week for the south. and Olvany intending to go to Florida tomorrow for ten days.
 The conference was productive of two definite results-one the an- nouncement that neither United States Senator Royal S. Copeland nor Senator Robert r. Wagner would represent their state at the national convention. Decision also was cached to reelect Lieut.. Gov. ernor Corning as state chairman, although he was reluctant to ac- cept the post for q second time.
 At the state committee meeting, formal ratification will be accorded the following slate of delegates-at- large:
 John ". Davis of New York city. democratic candidate for president in 1924: Mayor James J. Walker of New York city; National Commit teemen Norman E. Mack of Buff falo, Franklin D.
