VIRGINIA ACTS TODAY
TWenty-Four Votes Will Be
Instructed; Puzzle on
Vice President.
VIRGINIA ACTS TODAY
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Fol.
lowers of Governor Alfred E. Smith
today hailed the sixteen votes Of
Maryland, coded by Governor Al.
bert c. Ritchie, as assuring the
nomination of their candidate al
Houston next week.
Maryland's sixteen votes will give
Smith more than TOO on the frs
ballot, they claimed. To nominate
1888 1-3 are needed, and the others
will be forthcoming on an early bal
lot, it was said.
Ritchie has not been an avowec
candidate. but his campaign fol
States rights, and his outspoker
disapproval of prohibition, has
gained him a nationwide reputa-
ton
Virginia Selecting Delegates
The Maryland Democratic con-
vention instructed the delegates fol
him, and in the early stages of the
campaign before Smith gained
strength there were many who be-
lieved this old-style Jeffersoniar
Democrat would make better vote
getter than the New York Governor
Twenty-four Democratic delegates
the last to be named, are being Sc
lected today in Virginia, and Smith
men today foresaw possibility of a
landslide of the proportions of Hoo
ver's in the Kansas City convention
if Smith gets most of the Virginia
votes.
However, it generally was believed
here that the followers of Senator
James A. Reed, of Missouri, would
carry their fight to the convention
balloting before quitting.
Possibilities for the vice presi-
dental nomination at Houston came
TO the fore today in the wake of
Ritchie'S announcement at Balti-
more.
Ritchie told the United Press he
did not expect the nomination for
vice president, and would not &C
cept it if rendered. if Smith is
named the Democrats are expected
to turn to the Middle West, as the
Republicans did, for a running mate.
Claude Bowers Mentioned
Huston Thompson, former Fed
eral Trade Commissioner; Senator
Walsh of Montana, ano Maj. Gen
Henry T. Allen of Kentucky, are
among the westerners mentioned
for second place.
Many of Walsh's friends believe
he would not accept, however, and
two Catholics on the ticket admit
tedly would be too much of a strain
for the party.
Claude Bowers Of Indiana , and
New York, the Democratic key
noter who rose to fame in his party
in a single oratorical attempt-hiS
speech at the Jackson day dinner
here last spring is mentioned
as a vice presidential possibility.
Jesse J. Jones, Houston hotel man
who got the convention for his
home city, also is discussed.

Three Day DoWnpour
Keeps Coolidge Away

BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CUPERIOR, Wis, June 49,
- President Coolidge may have
to spend his Wisconsin vacation
either indoors or in a sou'wester.
Rain has fallen almost con-
tinually for three days, and Mon
day was so inclement that the
President was forced to postpone
his first visit to the executive
offices here. He remained at
Cedar Island lodge. spending a
few moments patrolling his island
home in an oil skin.
Secretarial workers and news

cred among themselves at odds
Of three to one, that it would snow
within the next twenty-four

low forty degrees Monday night.

A THOUGH mail and official
L N matters have accumulated
on the Presidents desk, Mr..
Coolidge has not been disposed to
resume his business routine.
That the President is here only
for a rest, and is making the most
of his vacation, was indicated by
the fact he has not left Cedar
Island lodge since his arrival
there Friday. Reports that Mr..
Coolidge had chosen Wisconsin,
seat Of the Republican insurgent
movement, as his summer home
for reasons of political expediency
have been shown to be without
significance.
Those close to the executive
have advised him to remain in
the seclusion of Cedar Island
lodge and to attempt no official
duties until completely rested

WOOLSTON, England, June 49,
Miss Amelia Earhart'S airplane
Friendship landed in Southampton
water here amid a roar of cheers at
7:20 a. m eastern Standard Time),
after making 135-mile flight from
Burryport in hours, minutes.
The Friendship came down gently
in Southampton water 500 yards off,
shore, amid continuous roar OF
cheers from persons ashore and in
boats, and the din of hundreds of
ships sirens and whistles from the
great dock district.
. Stultz, at the controls, TAXED the
plane the 500 yards up to the i'm
perial airway seaplane dock.
Several motorboats assisted in
towing the Friendship to the dock.
Landing Is Faultless
The whole landing was effected
faultlessly, from the time the big
plane came into sight and clrcled
over Southampton water.
Miss Earhart was smiling but
pale when she stepped ashore. She
seemed exhausted. AS she stepped
on the dock, she was presented with
an immense bouquet Of carnations
Dressed in a biscuit colored pull
over sweater, red necktie, dark
riding breeches and black high boots,
Miss Earhart, by now looking less
tired than on her arrival, received
NEWSPAPER men before she left for
London.
my big moments on the whole
fight" she said, were when we
sighted the liner America south Of
Ireland. and when Stultz an
nounced that there was gasoline
sufficient only for another hours
flying.
"But think my real thrill came
when we sighted land.
Praise for Stultz
81 believe most Atlantic fliers who
have been lost have failed because
they did not know how to fly by in
struments alone, but Stultz is excep-
tionally qualified in such flying.
Il am not trying to earn any
money by my fight. I just am in
terested in aviation. This is my va
cation. 1 intend to see England
especially the royal race meeting at
Ascot"
Only five minutes before its per
feet landing, the Friendship hac
been sighted rising over the north
western horizon and making, with
it's supermarine pilot seAolane IL:

Throngs Rush to Scene
Worknen rushed from all over
the surrounding area during their
lunch periods. and school children
turned out in body Special motor
bus parties from all through the
nearby country were arriving mo-
mentarily.
News that the fiiers had left
Burrvport was disseminated by the
United Press and spread rapidly.
The crowd converged on the i'm
perial Always landing stage at the
waterside, Jamming nearby streets,
and forcing police to adopt en-
Urgency regulations to control It,.
Dozens of automobiles rushed to-
wards the scene.
The American flag was hoisted on
the mast over the landing stage and
the first of many cheers went up
from the crowd.

All Credit for Success of
Atlantic Flight Given
to StuItz, Gordon.
WEARY AFTER JOURNEY
Only a Passenger. on Trip,
Didn't Touch Controls,
She Says.
BY KEITH JONES
United Press staff Correspondent

PEMB REY. Carmarthenshire,
Wales, June 19-Miss Amelia Ear
hart gives all the credit for being
the first woman to fly across the
Atlantic to her two male COM
panions-Wilmer Stultz and Lou
Gordon-would make such flight
again and ventured the opinion she
would be willing to make a west
ward crossing of the Atlantic pro
vided we have the right machine
and proper instruments"
Interviewed at the Ashurham
Hotel, where she spent Monday
night after the daring flight from
North America, Miss Earhart told
the United Press she had perfect
confidence throughout the flight
that she would be successful in her
desire to be the first woman to cross
the Atlantic.
"I had complete confidence in my
companions, she told me.
Praises Two Companions
Miss Earhart was radiant when
she reached the hotel here Monday
night, despite that tired lines
streaked her slender and youthful
face. There was gay bit of laugh
ter as she showed her complete
baggage toothbrush.
Her first comment was to cast
praise from herselfe to her two male
colleagues on this daring flight
through fog and rain and which
was ended by fuel shortage in this
obscure Welsh territory.
81 want to make it clear that I
was a passenger on the entire trip"
she told the United Press. Il did
not handle the controls once. Con-
ditions we're SO poor we were forced
to fly by instruments and as I had
no practice in instrument flying I
did not want to risk the lives Of the
others and myself"
First POntoon Plane
The scientific value of this fight,
in her observation were;
Commander Richard E. Byrd said
that the next transatlantic fight
was to prove the practicability of
transatlantic flight with an air
plane fitted with pontoons. We have
accomplished that"
She was asked concerning her fu-
ture plans.
"At present I do not know our fu-
ture plans. Two things do know.
There will be no movies and there
will be no lectures"
She was willing and eager for an
other trans Atlantic flight and would
consider westward crossing, that
feat which only Baron Gunther Won
Huenefeld, Capt. Herman Koehl and
Mai. James Fitzmaurice have sue
ceeded in.
Willing to Cross Again
at enjoyed every minute of the
flight and naturally am mighty
proud" she said. II certainly would
attempt the flight again and would
try a westward crossing provided
l had the right sort of machine and
instruments"
Gordon, however, did not share
Miss Earhart's enthusiasm for an
other crossing.
"I do not think I would care to
try another fight. Once is enough"
the mechanic said.
Both Gordon and Stultz appeared
more fatigued than Miss Earhart.
They had been at the controls
through the entire fight of about
twenty hours and thirty minutes.
