WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Death
of George E. Brennan, Democratic
national committeeman from Illi-
nois, is regarded by political lead
erS here as a severe blow to Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smiths presidential

Brennan, for many years regarded
as the boss of Illinois democracy,
has been counted upon by the
Smith forces to carry most of the
burden of its middle western cam
paign.
Deprived of Brennap's practical
political knowledge and experience
in the Middle West, it is agreed
here that Smiths chances of carry
ing doubtful States in the section,
particularly Illinois, materially are
reduced,
