Tom Begins Last
Two Days Grind
For Tunney Bout

FAIRHAvEN. n. j.. July 21.-tPD
Refreshed by a days layoff from
the training grind. Tom Heeney slid
back into the harness today for his
last three days of boxing before he
enters the ring against Gene Tun-
ney at the Yankee Stadium next
Thursday night. He did no work
yesterday. He forgot about train
ing while spending the day sailing
over the Atlantic in a private yacht.
Tomorrow will mark the end Of
Heeney's hard ticks in the gymna-
stun. He will perform before the
critical eyes Of Jack Dempsey and
Tex Richard. On Monday he will
bring his boxing 70 a close. Light
work on the punching bags rope
skipping and shadow boxing will
constitute the days work for the
challenger on Tuesday. There will
be no work nj all on Wednesday ex-
cept perhaps. a long walk in the
cool Of the early morning.
Dempsey as a visitor will be in q
strange role. Before he was cham
pion he never bothered watching
what other fighters were doing until
he traded punches in the ring with
them.

Smith Quiet On
Speech Quill
Work Not Started

ALBANY, N. ", July 2i.-tPl-Gov.
Smith is keeping his own counsel
about what he will say in his accept
ance speech, and he has passed the
word that the public should not take
seriously any unofficial forecasts Of
his address.
A date for the official notification
of the democratic presidential nom-
inee has not yet been fixed, although
il is expected to be after the mid
die Of August.
Thus far, Governor Smith has only
been working over in his mind what
he will emphasize in his address. He
intends to keep the gist of his speech
a secret up 20 the last minute and
has declared that no one is in posi-
tion TO disclose what he will stress.
Ever since his nomination he has
said that he would touch on all
points Of the party platform. Com
menting on a report that he would
subordinate prohibition and farm re-
lief in favor Of an exposition on re-
organization Of federal government
departments he insisted that he in
tended TO treat both the farm ques-
Ition and the prohibition problem ex-
tensively in his speech.
Determination OF a date for his
notification has been left to Cover
nor Smith. but he has indicated that
he will make no decision until he has

tageous radio hook-up can be ar

Claims Hardin
Wants Garner
Get Him Crowd

1T is rather presumptuous on the
part of Sid Hardin to request Con-
gresham Garner to come to the
Valley and secure a crowd for Har-
din to address," was the comment
Of Judge III. l.. Yates Of Brownsville
when his attention was called to the
debate challenge issued BY the Mis-
sion man Thursday.
After making a thorough survey
Of the political situation in Cameron
county, / make the prediction that
Hardin will not receive 10 per cent
Of the vote cast at the primaries
July 2S, and ! believe that is a very
liberal estimate. With the excep.
tIon Of n few farming communities
there are few precincts in the coun-
~ where the voters are even consid-
ering his candidacy"
Following announcement Of the
Hardin challenge. Garner supporters
IN Cameron county wired Congress-
ma Garner that there was no &C.
casion for him coming to the Valley
at this time. and not to disturb the
arrangements he had made for the
last week of the campaign in the
northern part Of the district. They
assured him the Valley counties
would roll up a majority equal II
not greater than he received in the
1926 primaries.
Garner would merely serve Ia
draw a crowd for Hardin Judge
Yates said. IF there was any pos
sibility Of Hardin carrying any OF
the Valley counties Garner might
accept the challenge. However, the
Valley voters are fully cognizant Of
the situation; they know that Garner
has represented them faithfully and
well, and they are going to show
their appreciation by returning him
with the greatest majority ever ten
dered a candidate in this district
