tive Candidate, Held Of No
Moment.

Adolfo Bernard. conservative candi-
date for President OF Nicaragua, is
coming to the Capital. 1t was learned

Mr. Bernard is to sail from BARGE
Iona. Spain, August "a. on the Manuel
Arnes. He will arrive in New York
about 10 days later He Is expected
to come direct to the Nicaraguan lega-
ton as the guest of his son-in-law,
Don Alejanoro Cesar. Nicaraguan Min
lister
The sole reason for the visit, the
legation announced. is to visit members
of his family here and to enjoy a few
days rest before entering the election
fight in Nicaragua. He ill have
nothing to say concerning his candi-

STRATON REFUSES
SMITH HIS PULPIT
But viii Repeat Charges if
Governor Does Not Meet
Him in Hall.

by the Associated fTeSS.
GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y, August
l5.--The Rev. John Roach Straton,
pastor of Calvary Baptist Church,
TO meet him in debate anywhere except
In his church he will hire the largest
hall he can find and repeat the sermon
which brought on their controversy.
The governor wrote to DIR. Straton
asking for yes or no" answer to his
request for hearing in Calvary
Church. where the minister first made
the charge that the governor was the
deadliest foe in America today Of the
forces of moral progress and true po-
litical wisdom"
DR.. Straton, who had not yet received
the letter. said that for OBVIOUS reasons
which he had previously advanced he
could not meet the governor In Calvary
Church These reasons cited by DR..
Straton we're that a church was no
place for the holding of political de-
bate, and that he believed the ediflce
would not hold all who would wish to
attend
But if the governor does refuse on
this ground" DR. Straton continued,
then I will hire the largest hall / can
get and notify the governor that l am
going to repeat in that hall the exact
sermon to which he objected"
He said he was assuming that Gov
Smith must be present. and l will allow
him any time he wants to make re-
joinders. If he does not attend
that meeting I have something more
10 say about him. whether ne is gov
ernor of the State. candidate for Presi-
dent. or whatever he is. Wen show
people who is going to run to cover"
There seemed little chance that Gov
Smith would accept DR.. Straton's latest
offer. In his letter to the Baptist min
lister yesterday the governor wrote;
THE answer TO my request to appear
in your church before your parish
toner's. under the conditions / men
toned, is yes or no Unless and until
I hear from you in the affirmative the
matter Is closed"
