PARIS, August 1l.--Signing of the
so-called Kellogg pact to outlaw war

SMITH At RADIO
AS HOOVER TALKS
Democratic Nominee Refuses
Comment to Re-
porterS.
BY PAUL r. HAUPERT.
Associated Press stan Writer

ALBANY, N. Y, August ii.-~With
an interest only a rival for the presi-
dency could have, Gov. Smith turned
tonight to the radio, like millions of
other Americans, to follow Herbert
Hoover's acceptance speech In far-away
California word by word,
Newspaper men who have been In
contact daily with the Democratic
nominee were invited TO the executive
mansion to listen in with him on the
notification at Palo Alto, but not until
they had been warned that he would
have no comment whatever on his OPP
ponent's address.
The reporters expanded family
circle that included the nominee, his
wife and Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Smith, a
son and daughter law, the only
members of the household In town for
the week end. It was agreed, at the
governors suggestion, that none would
attempt to describe his reaction.
Previously Smith had indicated that
later in the night, after the radio be-
came silent. he would do some intensive
work In his study at the mansion on
his own acceptance speech, which he
will deliver week from Wednesday
evening from the east steps of the
Capitol. He has formulated rough
draft, and expects TO have his address
in final form early next week, In time
for Nation wide distribution TO news
papers IN advance.
Several hours after his return this
morning from Chicago, where he at
tended the funeral OF his political ally
George E. Brennan. the nominee held a
brief press conference at his residence
No inkling has been given by Mr.
Smith as 10 what he will say In accept
ing the call of Democracy to lead It's
fight for control of the Federal Gov
eminent. He has promised, however
to discuss all campaign issues. and has
indicated he will treat exhaustivelS
such questions as prohibition and farm
relief.
Prior TO delivery OF his speech he ex'
poets 10 hold a number Of important
conferences here with farm and party
leaders but these probably will come
too late 10 enable him TO incorporate
any suggestions In his address. Rather
he is counted Oh to make use Of then
IN speeches TO the voters during hi;
stumping campaign after Labor day.
