 Governor Smith definitely blasted all hopes of intervention on his part in statement given out from lAs temporary offices at the Hotel Bil&- more. It read:
 Governors Statement
 Tn the matter of the application for executive clemency for Ruth Brown Snyder and Henry Judd Gray:
 "This case has received my anxi- ous consideration. not merely since the hearing before me upon the ap- plication for executive clemency, but ever since the court of appeals unanimously affirmed the conviction of the defendants.
 "Tho execution of this judgment on a woman Is 90 distressing that I had hoped that the appeal to me for executive clemency would disclose some fact which would justify my in- reference with the processes of law. But this did not happen. I have searched in vain for any basis which my conscience in the light of my oath of office will approve on which l might temper the law with mercy.
 Up to this writing there is no ex- shown for what the seven judges of the court of appeals, in agreement with the 12 jurors and the trial 1ustnce, have found to be a and premeditated murder by these defendants.

Noted TransaIantic Her Accompanied by Roger WiEams-Pair Hope to Stay n Air 60 Hours.
Abandon Plans for Non- Stop Flight at Same Time-Germany, With More Than 52 Hours Continued Flying, Holds Title Now.

Curtis Field, N. Y.. Jan. II (UP) "A new attempt to regain the worlds endurance flight record for America started here today .t |12:13:13.
 Clarence D. Chamberlin, noted transatlantic flier. and Roger Will. Hams, q commercial pilot, left Cur- tiss feld hoping to keep a big Bel lanca monoplane in the air for GO hours.
 Germany Holds Record
 Germany holds the present world endurance record. Two of her avia. torA Edzard and Ristics, took, it from Bert Acosta and Chamberlin last August when they kept their plane aloft 6e hours, P minutes and s1 seconds.
 If the two fiers succeed in their attempt. they will not come down to earth until late Friday night or carly Saturday morning.
 Chamberlin climbed into the cockpit wearing the same plus fours and other flying togs that he wore on his memorable uiRht to Germany last summer.
 440 Gallons Of Gas
 Because of the soggy condition of the runway. the Bellanca carried a lighter load of gasoline than had been intended. Chamberlin original ly had planned to put 5se kallons into the tanks, but decided at the last moment to carry only 44e Ral. lens.
 Chamberlin's decision to make the flight came unexpectedly. He was not known to be contemplating such an attempt until late yester- day when he announced that he would try for the mark within two or three dayA
 Bert Acosta. another transatlantic pilot. and Emile Burgin have been intending to make . similar attemp, for the last month in the Fokker monoplans ''splitdorf'' at Roose- welt field. but mechanical trouble and illness on the part of Acosta have caused 1t to be postponed re- peatedly.
 Plans Aerial Tour
 After the flight has been com pleted. Chamberlin will besin an air tour of the country, Iecturtnr In principal cities and endeavorinK to organize flying clubs after those which have recently become so popular in England. His itinerary. he said. was planned 90 as to take. him to many of the points which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was un. able to visit in his tour in the Spirit of St. Louis last summer.
 Chamberlin was off in s7 seconds after . l.500 foot run.
 He nosed the plane straight to- wards New York and gained slti- Jude rapidly with the aid of q stj6 wind.
 Shortly before the start the two niers abandoned a plan to attempt to set . new nonstop flight record In addition to the endurance record on tho one flight. They had made plans to fly as far west as Denver and back to New York, believing that mileage would surpass the s.s11 mile nonstop record which Chamberlin set on his flight to Ger many.
