designations. And. since he was
worth well over $5,000,0O0 and was
prepared to spend any sum that
might be necessary. he was amply
able to indulge himself outside of
working hours. And did. To the end.
He died I'm Atlantic City, of
heart trouble, and three days
before he died he made his last
purchase. One of them was q
pair OF glasses set with rose
diamonds, valued at $500,
which he bought for his dog.
The other was a diabOnd-set

After Brady's death new facts
concerning him came out. His real
business ability was shown in his
legacies, and an unsuspected ar
tistic taste was shown in the rare
paintings and objects of art which
he left behind.
James Buchanan Brady. gambler,
business man and Broadway lover,

another like him. There never will
be again.
He loved Broadway as no man
has ever loved it: he knew 1t as it
is given to few people to know it.

out to make a real fight for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
He will not pursue a passive course
III the hope that Governor Al Smith s
strength might eventually pass in
part to him, should Smith fail, but he
is going to fight for himself, it was
learned today after national head
quarters had been opened for him
here.
Arrangements already have been
made for several southern states to
select him as second choice to their
favorite sons and he is going into
the South to makeS speeches soon.
Reeds friends really think he has
4 coed chance. They are not so sure
that Smith will go into convention

Lay retire if the situation does not
look inviting in June.
Reed, they believe is the logical
man to succeed to the Smith domin-
ance of the party.
Reed s campaign will be conduct

ed as a wet, prohibition will not be
stressed as an issue of his.
