HOUSTON, June 26.[FHAlfred
E. Smith enters the democratic ma

ballot votes definitely in line foy him
nearly fifty short of the nominating
mark, but he is assured OF so many
more whenever he needs them that
his friends and many of his po-
litical foes regard his nomination as
inevitable.
Although his managers had given
no indication that they were trying
to bring about the New York govern
or's selection on the first roll call.
there were predictions that this
would happen. They were based on
a belief that Smith would be so near
the nomination as the initial ballot

voting for favorite-sons, would shift
TO his standard before announcement
Of the result.
Continue Fight
From some quarters, however, came
forecasts that two or more ballots
would be required, and here and
there bitter-end opponents of the
New Yorker chung to the belief that
in some way he could be headed off.
Overnight, several new favorite-
son candidates had sprung up to
claim the support OF some delegates
on at least the first ballot. Senator
Pat Harrison was put in the field by
the Mississippi delegation. The forty
delegates from Texas mustered under
the banner of Jesse II. Jones. Chief
Justice Watts Of South Carolina vas
brought out as the favorite OF the Is
delegates from that state.
In addition, at caucuses, the Indi-
ana delegation decided to stand by
Woollen, the Kansas delegates by
Ayres and the two dozen Tennessee
ans by Hull, and the Alabama dele
gates decided 20 split their votes
among George. Hull, Donahey, Jones
and Woollen.
Smith Men Sure
These developments encouraged
some of the Smith opponents who
Rave been striving TO keep votes away
from the leading candidate to wear
down his strength after a few ballots.
They also have been hoping that the
Arkansas and Oklahoma delegates, at
caucuses still TO be held, would re-
main aloof from the Smith camp, at
least at the outset of balloting.
