 It can only be conjectured in what degree this quiet work. of or ganization may be responsible for the increase of nearly million in this years registration Of voters. Both parties claim an advantage un- der the new registration figures. which show that 2.o:s.blt are eligi- bie to vote In New York city. and B. sbS,7s2 in the remainder of the state. The increase over 1s?+ amounted to bes.sss in New York city and 4S7,7e3 upstate.
 On the basis of these figures the republicans say they will hold Smiths New York city majority within such limits that Hoover's margin upstate will overturn 1t with plenty to spare. Taking the same figures, the democrats predict . 6o0.00o plurality for Smith in the city. and declare Hoover will be far short of that many in the rest Of the state.

 H0TLY CONTESTED

industrial world. Gov. Smith and Chairman Raskob have given re- peated assurances that business has nothing to fear from a democratic victory in 1928. Democratic leaders feel it would be to their particular advantage to be able to say that. after g long lapse of years, New York again was willing to cast her vote for a democratic nominee for president. By the same token. the republicans are counselling business men not to trust the democratic promises. and not to let this much- relied-upon state slip out of the rs- publican column.
 All of these causes combined. augmented by the divisions on pro. hibition. religion and other issues common to all of the state. have made the campaign here in New York vastly more than studied dis play of political activity. The poli- tics now prevalent in this state ts the kind that penetrates to the marrow of the bone. Whatever out ward agitation there may have been and there was and is plenty of it-is not to be compared to the work of quiet organization which has gone on ever since the national conventions. from one. end of the state to the other.
 For the most part, this work on the side of the democrats has cen- tered in New York city and in the larger cities upstate. In all of his campaigns for the governorship. the city vote has been the great rock of Gov. Smiths strength. The Tam many hall organization here in the metropolis has rolled up tremendous majorities for him, and in nearly every election he has run ahead of his ticket in such normally republi- can cities as Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. The cities, and especially New York city. are the centers of the wet sentiment of the state, and the home of those foreign groups whose votes have been counted for Smith in great numbers in every ono of his campaigns.
 The republicans. on the other hand have organized upstate on .

 Addressing an audience that jam med its way into the 18th regiment armory at Newark last night, after having been acclaimed by thou sands of torch-bearing well-wishers during his trip by automobile through Hoboken. Jersey City and other points en route Governor Smith tore into the republican cam paigners in sarcastic fashion, par ticularly as to their arguments on labor and farm relief.
 He attacked MT. Hoover's speech made in the same armory several weeks ago and assailed Charles Evans Hughes and Senator Borah. tn, mention of whose names brought boos from the audience.
 Hughes. he said, amid laughter, should have been the republican candidate instead of Hoover because he was doing more to elect the re- publican president than the nominee himself"
 Exaggerated Statement
 He said Hoover had made an "ex- aggerated statement" when he de- ciared in Newark that real wages and standards of living of our labor have improved more during the past seven and half years of republican rule than during any similar period in the history of our country" Credit for such conditions was given to Woodrow Wilson by the demo- cratic nominee.

Smith said his own program called for the "neces- sary appropriation to the depart ment of labor" to enable it to make adequate surveys on unemployment so this question of veracity as be- tween officials" will never arise again.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER
 PASSES FROM HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.--A tur- bulent political career which car ried him to a high place in the councils of his party has been brought to a close, for time at least, for Finis J. Garrett of Ten nessee.
 His attempt to gain the senate seat held by Kenneth McKellar having met with failure. the mar who for nearly a decade has held the difficult post of minority lead CT in the house will retire to pri- yate life after the short three- months session next winter.
 A democrat. first. last and al- ways. Garrett has borne the brunt of many heated political battles in the house and more than once, even though his party was in the minority, he mustered, somehow, the votes to win.
 Regarded by his colleagues as one of the readiest debaters and perhaps the most dangerous man in the house to encounter on the floor. the Tennesseean, even if he should be silent all next winter, has written record as a leader which will stand out for years.
 But the record had its price

political difficulties at home. By virtue of his post as democratic leader. Garrett was out in the fore in nearly all legislative frays and the roar of more than one bat tie in the house had it's echo in his district at home.
 Two years ago he had a nip and tu k battle for reelection to his house seat and it is probable he would have met similar opposition this year had he thosen to run again for the house instead of en- tering the senatorial race.
 Garrett, upon his retirement next March, will have completed 24 years of continuous service in the house. He succeeded the lata Claude Kitchin of North Carolina as democratic lender.
 In elevating Garrett to the lead ership, house democrats broke away from tradition as until that time the senior democrat on the ways and means committee auto maticaliy had headed the party in the house. Garrett undoubtedly will be succeeded as leader by John M. Garner, fiery Texan. who. like tAe Tenn ssseean, h \ dangerous foe in debate.

 A sidelight of the treasure hunt was the arrest of Kaalawai an6 John Muemue Naiu, one of the dig. gers, on charges of "kahunaism' or witchcraft. The charges were dismissed when it was found that Kaalawai had prayed only to luck goddesses-Pele and two others that the treasure sought might Dc found.

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. 16.- Draining the territory drenched by almost incessant rains during the past two weeks, rivers of three Southern States are flow ing wide of their banks today.
 The flood waters have isolated cities and also caused tremend- ous damage to crops, highways and railroads from Spartanburg, Asheville to Macon and Quitman, Georgia.
 Reports of flood conditions equal if not surpass any in the history and come from any dis tricts.
 The menaced area of North Carolina was cut off from com munication last night but before the line went down, Asheville reported hasty preparations to care for hundreds of refugees from the French and Broad River Valleys where the Big Tree Dam is threatening to collapse.
 The Okapolco dam, which broke in Georgia released flood waters which have covered a wide sec ton.

HONOLULU, Aug. 16.-An aged woman's dream of buried treas- ure kept four men busy three months digging a pit 20 feet broad and 80 feet deep in back yard in one of Honolulu's residential districts.
 As they, dug ancient Hawaiian charms were brought into use to protect them from evil spirits.
 Mrs. Pele Keakuaailuau, 99 years old, was the dreamer. In her vision, it was explained, she saw the Hawaiian goddess of fire and the volcano. Pele, pointed out a spot in the yard where there was buried $25,0O0 in the five cornered gold pieces of the old Hawaiian monarchy. The money was sup posed to be contained in the bow of a canoe.
 The excavation work went on for weeks before it came to official
