warned the delegates not to be stam-

Mr.. Fordyce issued a statement re-

standing opposition to Hoover, adding
that IF Hoover dareS take the stump
Reed will drive him from 1t in 10 days

not willing to accept either the yoke

The first open declaration of conf

folks came tonight from F. A. Hamp-

Simmons of North Carolina, arch foe
of the New York Governor.
We have between 420 and 460 votes

clared. I'VE have confidence that they
will remain against Smith, This has
been determined after a careful survey
of leaders on hand"
Hampton has been busy with some
other Southerners feeling out sentiment
He is a Hull supporter. There has been
no definite coalition of the Southern
group and 1t seems to be the plan of
the anti-Smith forces to support their
favorite sons until, and If, Smith is
stopped.

Playing his customary lone hand

Senator Reed was carefully assessing
the situation before entering the ring.
He did speak out, however, to the relief
of the harmony preachers, with
declaration today that whatever the
outcome, Missouri would stand by the
ticket. He knew AL Smith today was
close TO heading that ticket.
Reed and the group OF Southerners
who are comforting here and there on
plans for blocking Smith apparently
are in accord on that proposition, but
their movements against Smith are OF
different purposes. The Southerners
make it plain that they are against
Smith because he is Smith. Reed is
against Smith because he is the man he
must down to win the nomination him.
