GOVERNOR WILL REST
BY PERCY SCOTT,
limited Press staff Correspondent


ALBANY, N. Y, July 27-What is
generally regarded by political OBJ
servers here as one of the most i'm
portant conferences of Democratic
leaders thus far ,held in this cam
paign will get under way in New
York City tonight, when Governor
Alfred f. Smith, Democratic presl-
Dental candidate, and Governor AL
bert Richie of Maryland meet.
While the candidate has said
there is no special significance to be
attached to tonight'S conference,
there is a strong impression here
that the chief topic of conversation
will be Smiths pronouncement on
prohibition in his acceptance speech.
Stand May Be Decided
The two men are, perhaps, the
strongest advocates of a change in
the present prohibition system. Both
have prounced ideas on the subject
and each has declared for a plan
whereby the individual State shall
be given the right to set up stand
ard for alcoholic content of bev-
erages.
It is not at all improbable that
the two will discuss that thought
in detail and out of it may grow
the paragraphs of Smiths speech
on that subject.
The candidate was ready today
to take his first weekend rest since
he was nominated. He will visit his
Office at the Capitol for a few min
utes and then take a midday train
fer New York.
Plans Short Rest
Early Saturday he will leave the
metropolis by automobile for Good
ground, where the summer home of
c. F. Murphy, the leader Of Tam
many Hall, is located, and spend
several days there with his family.
Word has gone out that while he
is there Smith is not to be disturbed
by any appointment in the nature
of political conference. He may
return to Albany about the middle
of next week.

CRAFT RAISED 81 FEET

Rome. August 8.-(AP)-Buoyed
up by pontoons, the crippled Italian
submarine Fla floated on the sur
face of the Adriatic today-a steel
casket for the two officers and 20
men aboard.
Death had won in the grim race
against the rescue workers.
There had been an ominous hint Of
death when the submarines tele-
graph system, by which communica-
ton was kept up with salvage work.
ers, became silent yesterday. But
the rescue workers continued fever.
ishly their efforts to raise the craft.
spurred on by the hope that tho
crew might have withdrawn to .
safer part of the vessel.
Gas Snuffs Out Life
Gases which had formed when the
sea water reached the storage bat
teries had, snuffed out the lives Of
the crew when rescue was first at
hand.
Strong hopes had been held that
at least a few of those on board
would escape the slow death from
poisoned air, for only the stern com.
partment of the Fla was flooded
when the sharp bow Of the destroyer
Giuseppe Missori rode over it send
ing the submarine down 131 feet to
the bottom Of the Adriatic on Mon.
day morning.
The raising Of the submarine IN
81 hours was regarded as an out
standing salvage feat. No sooner
had the submarine sunk than sea-
planes were flying over the area.
Blue Waters Aid
The clarity of the blue waters Of
the Adriatic aided them in establish
ing the position Of the submarine
and within half an hour after the
collision divers were working to lay
cables to raise the undersea craft.
Other rescue apparatus was hast
lily assembled on the spot.
A pipe was attached to the sunken
submarine and air pumped into her.
The crew Of the FLA maintained
communication with the rescuers by
means Of submarine acoustic tele-
phone with which all Italian UNDER
sea craft are equipped.
By nightfall yesterday the rescue
work had been carried on so speed
lily that the Fla was raised more
than two-thirds Of the way to the
surface. This allayed fears that the
age weakened bulkheads would be
crushed by the water pressure.
Then q new fear arose. The tele-
graph signals suddenly stopped.
When the submarine was raised, the
crew was found to be beyond aid.

ALCHALLENGES
CLERGYMAN TO
PULPIT DEBATE
DR.. John Roach Straton, Bap
tist Preacher, Subject Of
Smith Blast
QUOTES COMMANDM E N T
New York Minister Suggests
Debate Tour Of South or
Madison Square

Albany, N. Y, Aug. S.-(R-Gov.
ernor Smith has thrown down the
cage of battle to critics Of his pub.
lie record, and has embraced in his
challenge those who speak from the
pulpit.
Singing out to bear the brunt Of
his counter offensive, DR.. John
Roach Straton, q Baptist minister
of New York, the Democratic pres.
idential nominee has called on him
to repeat, in his presence and in
Straton's church, a statement the
clergyman made last Sunday to his
congregation that as a public man
Smith IS the "deadliest foe in Amer.
lea today Of the forces Of moral
progress and true political wisdom"
the governor requested full oppor-
tunity to reply.
DR.. Straton announced last night
that he would accept the challenge,
so today it appeared that debate
between presidential nominee and
a minister Of the gospel in house
of Notwithstanding new in po-
litical campaigns-might be In the
offing.
AL Calls Straton
The governor in a letter sent to
the Rev. Straton yesterday called
him to task for his declaration OF
Sunday, and suggested that he and
the minister meet face to face dur
ing Labor Day week at the minis
ter's church, Calvary Baptist.
II will permit you, if you choose,
to conduct the meeting by question
and answer" said Smith, II will be
ready to answer any question you
may put to me which, in your opin-
ion, will in any degree tend to JUS
tify your remarks"
In a counter proposal DR.. Straton
suggested that he and the governor
argue things out in Madison Square
Garden or some other large audi
torium, and also that they embaIk
on a joint debating tour OF the
south.
In his letter to DR.. Straton, whose
name frequently appears on the
front pages Of metropolitan news
papers, Smith, referring to the min
ister's declaration Of Sunday, said:
81 do not know why you should make
a statement Of that kind, but I do
know that I will never permit it to
go unchallenged."
Quotes Commandment
'I do not feel that should charge
you with making this statement for
any political purpose, as it was made
in a church devoted to the teachings
of Christ, one Of which was thou
shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor'."
The governors assault on the Bap-
tist minister was entirely unex-
pected. Newspapermen assigned to
cover him here had been on the look
out instead for q reply Of some sort
to the charges Of William Allen
White, the Kansas editor, who last
week leveled his guns at Smiths
legislative record with relation to
the saloon, commercialize' vice and
gambling. White, however, with
drew his charges regarding gam
bling and vice.
Whether the Straton letter, 50 far
as the Democratic nominee 10 con-
cerned, will suffice as an answer
also to White, who has gone to
Europe, or whether there is still
something on the fire that will ex-
plode in the Kansan's direction, still
remained undisclosed today.

DIES
AT CLIMAX OF
PUBLIC POWER
Master Mind of Illinois Demo.
cracy Succumbs to Septic
Poisoning

Chicago, 1dE. 5.-0p5-Ge6fYE E.
Brennan, Democratic national COM
mitteeman and master mind Of
Illinois Democracy since the passing
Of Roger Sullivan, died today.
The death Of the veteran Demo-
cratic chief came at $40 o'clock this
morning, following coma Of several
hours, during which his sturdy con-
stitution alone had warded off the
end, which had seemed inevitable
since yesterday.
Mr.. Brennan was stricken i'll more
than a week ago with q tooth in
fection. Septic poisoning developed
after an operation for the removal
Of two teeth. His physicians, how
ever, gave him an even chance to
recover until Monday night, when his
kidneys ceased to function under the
strain Of the poisoned system.
Mr.. Brennan was one OF the
staunchest supporters Of Governor
Alfred E. Smith for the presidency,
both in 1924, when he first sought
the presidential nomination, and
again this year at Houston, when the
New York governor was chosen to
head the party's national ticket. It
was Brennar's suggestion that
Franklin D. Roosevelt, ever opposed
to Tammany Hall, be selected to
nominate Smith at the national con-
vention. Brenpan, too, was given
credit for the first realization Of the
value Of night sessions at Houston,
creating the possibilities Of radio
'broadcasting.
Several weeks ago the Illinois
chief paid visit to Governor
Smith in New York.
Loss to Party
Long bulwark Of Illinois Democ-
racy, and for eight years its guiding
hand, his passing on the eve Of an
other presidential campaign was re-
garded as an almost irreparable loss
by his party associates.
George E.. Brennan succeeded to
leadership Of the Democratic party
in Illinois when Roger Sullivan died.
and from that stronghold he quickly
elevated himself to . place In the
national councils Of the party.
His political sagacity was legend
even while Sullivan was at the helm,
and as head Of the Illinois organiSa-
tion he. was welcomed to the ranks
Of party factors by such strategists

Jacksonville, Fla, August g.
(AP)-The Florida east coast from
above West Palm Beach to Mel
bourne, one hundred mile stretch,
was battered today by tropical
hurricane, which distressed ship
ping, isolated towns, and brought
damage to property.
Anxiety was expressed over the
whereabouts Of the palatial "Ha-
vana Special' Of the Florida East
Coast railroad, which was five hours
overdue at Miami. It had last been
heard from on leaving Fort Pierce
last night, its route from there to
Miami lay through the storm smit-
ten area.
Although tropical radio at Miami
reported last night that the steamer
Algonquin of the Mallory line, with
300 passengers aboard, bound from
Galveston to New York, had re-
ported that it had lost bearings on
account Of the storm, q wireless
message from the steamer was re-
ceived this morning from New York
reporting that the ship had hove to
in the Florida straits to ride out the
storm.
The Lempira, Honduran vessel,
New York to Porto Cortez, reported
in the storm GO miles southeast of
Jupiter Light that she had lost sew
eral life boats and was making
no progress. The United Fruit
company vessel Castillo was stand
ing by.
Another missing train, a freight,
southbound from Jacksonville to
Miami, had not been heard Of since
it left Fort Pierce last night.
The Western Union Telegraph
company here said this morning that
its operator at Melbourne had re-
ported that q violent wind struck
that city shortly after 8 o'clock,
blowing out the front of the tele-
graph office. The company's only
wire to Melbourne went out before
any details could be received.
Fort Pierce, located between Mel
bourne and West Palm Beach, had
been isolated since last night. The
last word from there said that q Is
mile hurricane was raging and that
residents were barricaded in their
homes.
