swing the state to Smith. Both

Governor Maddox had just taken
the oath of office.
Grim-visaged state officials were
solemnly shaking the hand Of North

were wishing him we'll.
The dog appeared to be searching
for someone. His tail dropped low
as the quiet men brushed by him
with never a glance.
Daily in recent weeks Governor
Sorlie had stepped and patted him.
Perhaps he was looking for his

Attaches at the capitol said the

chamber when all was quiet. Then
he pattered down the peaceful cor

Political Situation Is

by Governors Death
(By the Associated Press)

Recovering from their shock at
the death Of Governor Sorlie, poll
ticians here were assaying any pos
sible effect which his death may have
upon the political situation in the
state.
That it will have no effect on the
state election next November was
agreed. In some quarters, however.
it was considered possible that it
might have some slight effect on the
national campaign % it pertains to
North Dakota.
Maddox, according to . statement
recently credited to him, Il by no
means prejudiced in favor Of Her

other North Dakota elective official,

Buffalo and New York Men
Were Flying Lindy's New
Plane to Gotham

New York, Aug. o. (AP) -
Twenty airplanes organized to fly in
giant fan formation, and supple
mented by other aircraft throughout
the state, were enlisted today in .
search for two men missing in .
flight from Buffalo to Curtiss field.
NJ. NJ. Merrill. manager Of Curtiss
field, and Edwin N. Rome, head Of
the Buffalo municipal airport, took
off from Buffalo at 4 p. m. Monday
in Colonel Lindbergh's Curtis Falcon.
Many hours later no word Of their
landing had been received.
State police headquarters at Har-
risburR, Pa, were notified an air.
plane had fallen on . nnountainside
near Clark's Ferry last evening. and
. searching party was organised i'm
mediately in an effort to determine
whether the plane was the missing
Lindbergh craft.
, The flight from. Buffalo should
have taken only two and one-half to
three hours. When the airmen did
not appear at Curtiss field on sched-
ule little fear was felt, as both men
were expert pilots and it was sup
posed they had landed somewhere
in: the night.
All points on the airmen's route
were queried, and Casey" Jones,
president Of the Curtiss flying serv-
ice, ordered all his flyers on reserve
duty. Fog prevented their starting
search. but they were held available
until today.
The plane had been ct Buffalo air
port having . burned-out bearing re-
placed. and it was believed quite
probable that it might have gone
wrong again on the flight. Merrill
was flying it to Curtiss field for
Colonel Lindbergh.
Merrill and Rome were both army
flyers during the war. After army
service Merrill transformed for sew
eral years through the southwest.
He came to New York several years
ago, and for some time has been in
charge Of Curtiss field. Rome has
been in charge Of the Buffalo airport
since it was built, two years ago.
