SMITH IS SILENT
ON STUMP PLANS
Three Tentative itineraries
Placed Before Nominee
for Choice.

j
ALBANY, " Y. August 3I.--What
Gov. Smith will do next TO further his
cause for the presidency still was de-
.batable question today as the Demo-
cratic nominee returned to his desk at
the capital
The first week of his travels since TAX
ing over the party leadership August
% was matter of record. and yet no
inkling has come from him, although
there have been several unofficial re-
ports. concerning the territory he in
tends to invade and just when he will
start on his campaign jaunt.
Printed accounts, varying as to sec
tons of the country he will strike first,
have drawn no comment from the gov
ernor. He has three tentative itin-
eraries before him. and until he has
determined which one he believes best
dovetails with his ideas on campaign
strategy he will keep mum on the sub
Iect
Turns to State Affairs.
From now until Labor day, and pos
sibly for a few days thereafter he plans
to give his attention principally to mat
tiers of State concern and to rest up
for the trying days ahead. The States
budget for next year is one of the chief
tasks confronting him and he has call
ed meetings of his cabinet and several
committees to counsel with him on pros
pective approximations.
Looking back over the ground covered
in New Jersey and New York since
leaving Albany August %. the Demo-
cratic nominee today had cfalked up
five speeches. three of which were in
the open air. although he is known TO
be averse to outdoor oratory because
of the danger of overtaxing the voice
and of finding it practically useless In
the vital fag end OF the campaign.
The three open air talks. however.
we're very brief-none lasting more
than 10 minutes-and, as the nominee
insists. were delivered only in his
capacity as Governor of the State OF
New York. One of them was given
from the City Hall steps In Newark.
N. j.. the governor choosing to say
few words of thanks to a mass of
people who had been waiting several
hours late at night to give him a noisy
send off on his return TO New York.
Speaks at Syracuse.
Two others of the outdoor variety
were delivered yesterday at Syracuse.
when the governor, on his eighth an
nual visit to the New York State fair,
traced the growth of the exhibition
since 1911 in brief talk from a band
stand and Emphasized the indispen-
stability of modern farm implements in
dedicating the new Auditorium Museum
OF the fair
OF the nominees two indoor speeches,
both delivered at Syracuse. only one
was of the straight-cut political type.
This came yesterday before the meeting
of the. Democratic State committee.
when the governor declared 1t vital that
the State campaign be conducted in
divtduaily from the movement to place
him In the White House.

satisfied with the policy which has been

this, there would seem to be historical
fitness in a financial project which

There have been crises in our rela-

these have never been represented TO

and, scoring 36-34-70, despite a
water penalty. took lead of IL up
over r. p. Perkins. British champion
None OF the other matches were so
one sided and in some Of the eight
contests the Britons took lead, but
/ not big enough but what it could be
overcome in the afternoon. while some
we're wiped out before the morning
round ended.
Jones. after missing 5-foot putt for
a par on the first hole. got five pars and
! two brides before he f1ubbed shot
from the rough on the ninth hole to the
pond and took 6, while his opponent. be-
/ ing wholly off the game that won him
| the British title, got only three perfect
holes and took AZ strokes to the turn.
Gets Birdie on Sixteenth.
! Coming home Bobby scored every
| hole perfectly except for birdie on
the 527-yard sixteenth, while the Briton
could not get poisc and took A. Tor
| an 81.
The ninth hole was the only one the
British champion could win and he
halved only FIVE. The American cham
pion needed no spectacular shots. AS
aside from the first and the ninth he
played we'll with all his clubs. He got
down a couple of fairly long puts, but
! he was seldom in serious trouble CALL
/ ing for startling recoveries.
The large gallery that followed this
match at the van of the others was
pleased with the fine golf of the Ameri-
can title-holder. but got no thrill from
| the one-sided contest.

as Jones, but he came within a stroke

strokes than the Boston star.

Jess Sweetser brought in another

was 4 I'D at the end of the seventeenth
but he found trap on the home hole

Jimmie Johnston, by winning the

the intermission up on Eustice Storey
who had the lead nearly all the way.
Johnston used al strokes to the turn
