STATE DUTIES
BAN Golf FOR
DEMS LEADER
Smith Finds Time All
Taken In Clearing
Desk For Tour In
Mid West States
BY d. HAROLD OLIVER
Associated Press Staff Writer

ALBANY. N. ", Sept. 12.@P-
Working day and night in an at
tempt to catch up on an ever-grow-
ing pile Of material dealing with
state business, Governor Smith Is
finding little time for recreation in
the short interval before his depar-
ture for the west. He has even had
TO forego golf on several occasions
because Of the vast amount Of work
demanding his attention at the state
capitol and executive mansion.
That this steady devotion to state
affairs Is having no i'll effect on the
physical condition OF the democratic
presidential nominee, however, is
plainly evident In fact, some Of
his closest friends have expressed
the opinion that he Is in the best Of
condition and ready for the greatest
test Of his long political career.
In Good Health
Mayor James j. Walker, after a
call on the governor last week at his
offices in the capitol. remarked Ne
never saw him in better health and
spirit" and similar observations
have been made by several others
close to the democratic standard
bearer.
Since his nomination two and a
half months ago at Houston, inqui-
ries Of various sorts from all owe
New York state and elsewhere have
flooded his mail until today his
state duties are said to have dou-
bled. To dispose of these obliga-
tions. the governor has been forced
70 put in many late hours at the
monsoon after a full days work at
the capitol and some of his assist
ants are working double time.
To Talk State Affairs
No engagements were listed for
the nominee today, but he let it be
known that before he leaves for the
west Sunday to open his campaign
with a speech at Omaha next Tues
day night, he will talk sver the state
political situation with leaders OF
the democratic committee, including
its new chairman, NJ. William Bray,
Of Utica, ana Mrs. Caroline O'Day,
vice chairman.
Among the late callers on the row.
ernor yesterday was Dudley Field
Malone, New York lawyer, who re-
Gently returned from abroad and
who has announced he will support
a the democratic nominee.
Mr.. Malone ran on a third party
ticket against Governor Smith when
the latter met his first and only
gubernatorial defeat.
