RASKOB REPORTED INTENDING
TO LEAVE GENERAL MOTORS
Democratic National Chair
man May Retire as Di-
rector of Company.
Differences With Other Men,
berS of Auto Concern Over
Politics Rumored. e.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 2 C).-The
New York Times today says that &C
cording to reports in Wall Street, John
j. Raskob, who resigned as chairman
of the finance committee of General
Motors, to accept the Craftsmanship of
the Democratic national committee, does
not intend to resume that post after the
election.
Whether he intends to give up his
post on the board of directors and his
vice presidency could not be learned,
the Times says. He retained those po-
sitions when he retired from the finance
craftsmanship. The Times says it is re-
ported that he intends to sever all con-
nection with the company and his
resignation will be submitted to the di-
rectors next Thursday.
When Mr.. Raskob resigned from his
position with General Motors Alfred p.
Sloan, jr., the president, wrote him
cordial letter, which expressed the hope
that when the campaign was over Mr..
Raskob would return to his finance post.
Many rumors had been spread that
considerable differences had developed
between Mr.. RaSkob and other in
fluential members Of General Motors

the directors have expressed their sup

Unless he has already disposed OF his
interests, which Wall Street says he has
not done, Mr.. RaSkob is one OF the
heaviest stockholders in General Motors.
Several years ago he was instrumental
in reorganizing the company and in

The Times says there also is consid-
erable conjecture as to whether Pierre

CITY AND COUNTRY
SPLIT IN new YORK
State Emphasizes Hoover's
Strength Outside Wet
Industrial Centers.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
staff Corresnondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, November New
York exen1plifies to greater extent
than any other State of the Union the
fact that the presidential election this
year is a case of the cities against the
small towns and rural communities.
Smiths strength lies particularly in the
cities and Hooveris in the out-State.
You find this true In practically all
parts of the country; in Massachusetts,,
in Connecticut, in Maryland, in Illinois,
in Missouri, in wisconsin, and indeed
in every State which has large In
dustrial centers where the wet senti-
ment prevails and we're large foreign
groups are found.
It is the Democratic hope that not
only win New York City give Gov.
Smith huge plurality on election day.
but also that Smith viii run ahead Of
Hoover in many of the so-called up
State cities. They believe that the in
creased registration in these upstate
cities will benefit Smith, just as they
believe that the increased registration
in New York is strongly in his favor.
Carried by One Vote.
What has Smith done In these cities
outside of New York in the past? Rum
ming for Governor in 1924, Smith car
ried Is of the upstate cities. They
were Albany, Amsterdam, GlenS Falls,
Lackawanna, Little Falls, Long Beach,
OodQf1cl1fITcF nrx4Ta0n n1offc1,1,~rr Cal
manca, Troy, Utica and Yonkers. So
close was the vote, however, in Glens
Falls that Smith carried the city by
one vote, and the same was true of
Salamanca.
Two years later, running against
Ogden Mills, in the gubernatorial race,
Smith carried % upstate cities, in
cluding those named in the 1924 elec-
ton except Salamanca, plus the follow
ing: New Rochelle, Rochester, Rome,
Saratoga, Syracuse Watervliet, Auburn,
Buffalo, Cohoes, Hudson and Mechanics
vile.
The Democrats insist that Gov. Smith
will be able to repeat his victories in
the upstate cities which he carried in
1925. They go further and say he will
increase his lead in those cities and
may pick up some others All of which
is earnestly denied by the Republicans.
In Buffalo, for example, the Republi-
cans now say that Hoover has good
chance to win by 5000. Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., in 1924, another presi-
Dental year, carried Buffalo over Smith
in the race for Governor by 1900.
Two years later Smith had a lead in
Buffalo over Ogden Mills of 5000. Troy
and Albany, the Republicans admit, will
give Smith lead this year over Hoover.
The Republicans insist, however, that
Hoover will have big gains In all the
upstate counties except Clinton and
Franklin. There are many French
American Catholics in that region and
they may swing over to Smith. They

STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. November
Under conditions that never before
have been present in presidential cam
paign, Republicans and Democrats are
battling for votes In Prince Georges
County Nd, Of which this Is the coun-
ty seat Both sides are making
claims that they will carry the county
--one for Hoover and the other for
Smith--bu privately, they admit they
are bafiled by the new factors that are
dominant in the struggle.
The Republicans are very confident
that they will carry the county for
Hoover, as they carried it for Harding
in 1920 and Coolidge In 1924. They
have the aid Of many anti-Smith DEM
ocrats. The regular Democratic organ
ization leaders are hopeful of gaining
a majority of the county'S votes for
Smith, basing their hope on the ex-
pectation that many heretofore Repub-
lican voters will cast their ballots next
Tuesday for the Democratic nominee.
Republicans Usually Ahead.
That the Republicans normally have
the edge" in this county, section
which is of special interest to Wash
ingtonians because it borders the Dis
trict of Columbia on the northeast, east
and southeast, is the opinion of de-
tached observers. Only election day
will tell how the new factors, the chief
of which, are religion and liquor, will
affect the result.
A large part of this county is subur-
ban to Washington. Another big Sec
ton of it Is rural. One sees some
Southern Maryland farmers, in its
southern tip, for instance, conducting
their affairs in some respects as they
did before the Civil War, Automobiles
have not entirely displaced the ox-team,

ed toiling along road in the Aquasco
district. In the other, or northern end
of the county, there are more t1ne mod

Prince Georges County, one Of the
oldest in Maryland, includes the town
of Laurel. near its northern limit, and
extends to Swanson Greek, which flows
into the Patuxent River, at the coun-
ty's extreme southern limit. The coun-

side and the Patuxent River on the

STOCKHOLDERS 0. K.
MERGER OF BANKS.
Consolidation of Riggs Ma
tionaI and Farmers & Me-
Chanics' Ratified.

Stockholders Of the Riggs National
Bank and of the Farmers & Mechanics
National Bank in Georgetown, today
ratified the consolidation proposal ap-
proved by the directors some time ago,
thereby consolidating these two widely
known financial institutions.
At the conclusion of the special meet
ing of the stockholders Of Riggs, Presi-
dent Revert v. Fleming announced that
there was very large representation
present and that the largest percentage
of shares in the history of the bank had
been voted.
1t was also reported from the meeting
at Farmers & Mechanics Bank in George
town that the merger had been ratified
by very large vote, thus making the
consolidation assured. All that remains
is the completion of necessary details
in connection with the payment of sub
scriptions to the increased capital stock
of Riggs.
Warrants are now being issued to
stockholders of both institutions repre-
senting their rights to subscribe to the
increased capital Of Riggs. When this
is accomplished Riggs National will
have a capital of $3,000,000. surplus of
$2,750,000 and undivided profits OF about
$500, ,000,0
Deposits Near $5O,0OO,OOO.
Since the first announcement of the
plan to consolidate the two banks, the
deposits of the Farmers & Mechanics,
for the first time in its history, have
passed the 100000 mark. Riggs
deposits on the October 3 call were
$45,818,560.
The board of directors of the Farmers
& Mechanics National have been asked
by President Fleming of Riggs to act as
an advisory capacity in connection with
the Georgetown Bank, which now be-
comes a branch. In the merger the
Riggs National also takes over the
branch at Friendship. AS a result of
the consolidation Riggs will have six
branches, the others being at Fourteenth
street and Park road, Dupont Circle,

BROTHER MISSING,
GIRL is NOT HEARD
Chicago Prosecutors Close Case
Without Hearing From
Star Witness.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 2.-While the
girl who was to have been the States
star witness lay in her hotel room in a
state of collapse, under the care of
physicians and police guard, prosecu-
tors of the 16 henchmen of City Col
lector Morris Eller wound up their case
today and rested.
The State had to end its presentation
of evidence without the story of Mar
garet Welch, who had been expected
to point out two of the defendants as
Granady's killers. Fearing for the life
of her brother Laddie, who vanished
Wednesday night, and with her own
life threatened by an anonymous tele-
phone call, the girl collapsed yesterday
and was In hySterical condition today.
The prosecutors ascribed the threats
and the brothers disappearance to eff
forts to intimidate their witness and
assigned squads of detectives to search
for the missing man. Harry HockStein,
one of the defendants, and Morris Eller
issued denials that their friends were
implicated In the supposed kidnapping
and backed their denialS with an offer
of rewards totaling $4,000 for infor-
nation that would prove their friends
were involved In the alleged intinida-
ton.

far to the South, but he is not a
proud man, though his success
might make many men so, if they
had it themselves. I have said that
he plays the piano and sings.
He says of himself that he plays
the piano very badly, but he is too
modest, for this this is not so. He
plays very simple melodies, or at
least they seem SO, for not many
people can do this thing, being
mostly DESTROYS to make loud
noise. They call him "The Whisper
ing Pianist"
He sings like that, too. You can
hear every word that he sings, and
his voice has little unexpected
tricks to it, but they are all very
pleasant to hear, informal and con-
fiding, as the really greatest men
