AN NhS ASSeC4StSN fFf&H.
Representative Cordell Hull of Ten
neSsse, who has been pledged that
States vote at the Houston convention
Tor the Democratic presidential nomina-
tton. announced yesterday that he had
not given the ''SlighteS. consideration
o. contemplation 10 the vice preSiden-
tial nomination, either directly. remotely
or contingently"
He said this statement was prompted
oy an editorial In yesterdays New York
Times. which he quoted as saying that
q well organized campaign is being
conducted" for him for the vice preSi-
6ency.
HUI further declared that no person
either expressly or impliededly" had
authorized any well organized cam
paign or any other sort cf movement

presidential nomination"
The names of one OF two dozen
Democrats have appeared IL news items
In this connection during past weeks
and each is doubtless duly appreciative
of such personal reference
Mr.. Hull'S name has been mentioned
IN several quarters as possible run
ming mate for Gov. Al Smith. The
recent entry Of Hull's name in North
Carolina as Smiths opponent for that
States delegation. however, has caused
speculation as to whether this might
affect his possible acceptability as

meantime both Smith and Hoover con-
tinue to gather more and more dele-
gates. and their opponents are casting
about for means to stop" them In the
national conventions.
Hope in Two-Thirds Rule.
The opposition to Smith so far has
centered about no single candidate. 1t
bases its hope on the fact that 1t re-
ouires a two-third vote In the Demo-
cratic national convention to nominate,
and on the fact that number OF
states have favorite son candidates. Ii
the delegates will stick to these favorite
sons long enough, they believe that
Smith will fall of the nomination, just
as McAdoo did In 1924 AMI the late
Champ Clark in 1912. Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri today probably has
a bigger batch of delegates to the
Democratic national convention tnan
any of the other anti-Smith candidates
The Smith band wagon Is on the
move. however. and unless some reai
demonstration in opposition 10 MS

State executive committee, meeting in
Raleigh, voted down a proposal ad-

Representative CordeIl Hull that the

was 10 against and 80 for the proposal
The proposal for the preference prl-
mary in North Carolina was supported
by Senator Simmons for many years

arden anti-Smith man. He sent
telegram to the chairman Of the State
executive committee recommending
that the primary be provided for. The
North Carolina presidential primary law
was repealed by the State Legislature
last year.
Today anti-Smith leaders In the
State assert that the Smith adherents,
working secretly at that time, backed

law. At all events. they insist, the

BY the Associated Press
Debate on the tax bill was held up In
the Senate yesterday b. another attack
by Senator Heflin. Democrat, Alabama.
on the presidential candidacy of Gov.
Smith of New York.
Referring to the testimony of william
F, Kenny of New York before the cam
paign funds committee that he had con-
trihuted $4,000 to Smiths campaign
and that he was willing to give more.
the Alabaman said he would have in
quired as to how much Kenny was will
ing to give. Senator MCNaSter, Repub-
lican, South Dakota, member of the
investigation committee, quoted Kenny
as saying Il would give all have"
And he's worth $40,000,000." said
Hefiin.
Senator Barkley. Democrat, Kentucky.
another member of the investigation
committee. said that if the evidence
was to be discussed it ought to be dis
cussed with fair regard to what the
witness said
Barkiey Denies Statement.
He did not say that he was willing
to give all he had" Barkley continued,
and / don't think that the statement
that he said he was willing to give all
he had is fair. either to the witness or
the committee. don't think any effort
should be made to garble the witness
testimony"
Heflin agreed with McMaster's ver-
sion. reiterating his contention that
Kenny was worth $4,000, 900 and saying
he could afford to contribute at least
$50 ,000,000 to the Smith fund
Barkley questioned the propriety OF
discussing the day-by-day testimony
of witnesses on the Senate floor. and
Hef1in said such instances had oc-
CURED in other Investigations and that
he intended to keep it up until adjourn
ment.
Barkley said he spoke for the COM
mittee in assuring the Senate that we
intend to exert every legitimate and
proper method to ascertain how much
money had been expended by preSiden-
tial candidates, and if our jurisdiction
is extended, to follow the same course
in investigating expenditures during the
campaigns
Attack on Guffey.
AT the outset. Heflin assailed Joseph
F. Guffey. describing him as 1.-The lead

machinery in motion to find out by
next Tuesday how each Senator stood
on the presidential race.
Here comes Gov. Smith with this
dangerous negro-equality doctrine"
Hef1in said Il have never seen any
thing so shameful as the puSsyfooting
of some SouthernerS on this"
The Alahaman declared he believed
he would have been poisoned a long
time ago. but they knew there were
certain provisions in effect which would
