Ambassador Debuchi
Of japan Is Awaiting
Official Recognition
Distinguished Diplomat Is
Firm Believer in Capitals
School System.

The question for the moment of con-
suming interest to the newly appointed
Ambassador of Japan, M. Katsu1i Debu-
chi. and Mime. Debuchi is to which of
the several high schools at their COM
mand they shall send young Masure,
their son, who is Is and had completed
the four years course in the National
High School in Toxic, and their
daughter Takako who Is IA and had
finished her first or freshman year in
the same institution. The Ambassador,
like many of his predecessors at the
Washington mission is a firm believer
in the public school system of the
Capital and he desires his son to at
tend one year or perhaps two years be-
fore entering college. Both Masura and
Takako speak English perfectly and will
no doubt pass with ease the eXamina-
tions necessary.
M. Debuchi is the tenth Ambassador
sent to this Capital from Toxic and he
will rank with the distinguished men

Viscount Aoki, who had been Minister,
became the first Ambassador. With few

ity before they reached the exalted
rank, notably M. Uchida and M.

careers. The present Ambassador was

solid Smith" delegation from New
England awaited the opening Of the
democratic national convention to-
day. After their arrival here they
reaffirmed their pledge to support
the governor of the Empire state
as long as his name remained be
fcre the convention and expressed
confidence that he would be nomi-
mated on an early ballot.
The united support of the New
Engand delegations together with
those Of New York, New Jersey and
other eastern states was declar,se by
leaders of the Smith cause to have
prevented effective cohesion of anti
Smith forces and to have forecast
defeat to their efforts to block his
nomination
The first seconding speech will
be made by former Mayor Andrew
j. Peters of Boston, now president
of the Boston Chamber of Com
nerce and a delegate at large from
the Bay State. Before the opening OF
the convention. this noon, the
Massachusetts, delegation will com
plete its organization. A meeting for
that purpose last night was ad-
lourned because Of the failure OF
some of the delegates to arrive.
United States Senator David I.
Walsh was assured of a vote of the
delegation and 1t seemed likely that
Mayor Edward W. Quinn OF Cam
bridge and Mrs. Nellie Sullivan Of
Fan River. would be re- elected
members OF the democratic national
committee from Massachusetts.
While the Massachusetts delega-
non as a whole has not officially
gone on record for vice -presid en-
lial candidate, it vas indicated that
its choice would be Senator Robin
son Of Arkansas, whose nomination
was urged by Senator Walsh.
None of the other New England
ors has yet indicated choice for
second place on the ticket.
