SMITH IN CHICAGO ID HONOR BRENNAN Nominee Rushed From Station to
 Dead Mans Home GETS NO DEMONSTRATION Nominee Requests His Train Be Not Met by Crowd Because of Being on a Mission of Sorrow-Seyeral Hundred at Station.
GETS NO DEMONSTRATION

Chicago, Aug. 10 Ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York and a party of eastern democratic lead CTS arrived in Chicago at 10:22 a. m. today to pay their final respects to George E. Brennan. the late democratic Chieftain of Illinois, a, his funeral services. Their train, the Twentieth Century Limited, pulled into the station 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
 Several Hundred There
 Despite the early arrival of the train, a crowd of several hundred people were gathered at the station to greet the presidential nominee With less than three hours to spend in the city before entraining for the l east, Governor Smith did not finger in the depot to exchange greetings but was taken directly to an auto. mobile with his associates and c group of newspapermen who haG accompanied him from Albany.
 Because of the nature of the occa. sion there was little demonstration Hurries Away
 The party was immediately hur. ried away in automobiles to tho Brennan home, where a few of tho most intimate friends of the deaG leader were to join members of hi. family in private services. The pub 1 lie rites in Our Lady of Mount Car mel church were to begin within the hour.
 Three Hours in City l Less than three hours were allow ed the governor in Chicago betweer the arrival of his train and its star on the return trip. The time wa l just enough to permit him to go |, i the Brennan home for the shor 1 private services and then to Gu Lady of Mount Carmel churcl where public services were to b. held. The fact that burial was |, take place at Des Plaines precludet the governors accompanying tn funeral party to the cemetery.
 At Gov. Smiths insistence, ever precaution was taken to proven any demonstration in his behalf dur ing the brief hours he was to be yN Chicago. His mission, he explained was one of sorrow. and he request ed that Chicago party leaders assis him in making his visit as unosten tatious as possible.
 Plan Defeated
 The desire of the family to hav' simple funeral services was de feated in large part because of tn expression of large numbers o friends and political associates o Mr. Brennan that they be permitte, to show their respect and sorrow a the passing of the party chieftain.
 Besides Gov. smith there wer many prominent figures in nationa democratic circles here for tn services. Several leaders from tn east. including representatives iron Tammany, were here. Illinois de mocracy was largely represented The court building, offices of tn sanitary district and the city hal were closed.
 Arrangements called for Gov Smiths presence at the Brennan home shortly after the arrival 0 his train. A suite had been rctaine for him at hotel near the Bren nan residence so that he might mee party leaders briefly in time per mitted.
 Extra police were detailed to tn Sheridan road neighborhood i which MT. Brennan lived.

sloten, Holland. Aug. 10 R-The University of California eight-oared crew won the blue ribbon event of the Olympic rowing regatta for the United States today, defeating the English eight in the final for the world championship. California's s time was six minutes 1-5 seconds. The Golden Bears margin of vic tory over the experienced Thames Rowing tub crew from London was three quarters of a length.
 Holds Lead All Way
 California took the lead early in the race and held it all the way.
 At 250 meters the prows were level with both eights hitting a high beat. At 500 the Californians were @ quarter of length ahead and the margin was slightly more than this at 1000 meters, the halfway point. At 1,5oo, the Golden Bears led by one length and the furious British stretch drive could get back only a quarter length Of this.
 A Glorious Climax
 The victory was a glorious climax to one of the most remarkable row. ing campaigns any crew ever waged as it meant the completion of the Californians season without sim gle defeat although opposed by the greatest aggregations of America and Europe. It left them supreme and unquestioned as the rowing champions of the world in their class and kept the Yankee string of eight-oared victories in the Olym- pics unbroken. The Naval Academy crew won for Uncle Sam in 1920 at Antwerp and Yale at Paris in 1924 but neither more impressively

RI-A far-flung battle zone along
Florida's East coast today swarmed
with coast guard craft in a ruthless
war against contraband-alcoholic

the mainland from outlying islands

From Daytona beach south to iso-
lated points below Miami, a stretch
frequently the theater of smuggling
operations, the coast is now under
surveillance by more than a score
of fleet vessels of the subchaser
type, mounting one-pounders to
three-inch guns. The full compile
ment, then in action, will raise the
strength to 80 vessels and two sea-
planes and enable the concentrated
forces to keep 300 miles Of waters
under perpetual threat Of artillery

added, requirements of capital ships
under the treaty would be necessary
and the program had been formulat-
ed with that in view.
Representative Vinson Of Georgia,
ranking democrat on the committee,
asked the secretary if the committee
then must take into consideration, in
passing upon the program already
announced, the fact that an addi-
tional construction program would be
necessary. Mr.. Wilbur replied that
il would.
The secretary's statement was made
after Vinson had asked MIN If he
believed the American navy was now
a first class fighting force.
1--WE need cruisers" he answered.
"As i tried to point out yesterday,
that is an absolute need"
"Then your position as secretary
is that we have not a first class
navy?' continued Vinson.
YES" replied Wilbur.
