NEW YORK, July l3.-Thc presi-
dentiaI campaign Of Gov. Alfred +.
Smith is practically idle today as
the governor returns to his home in
Albany and John J. Raskob, the
national chairman, goes to his home
in Ccntcrville, Md, for rest.
Although there have been no real
conferences of campaign committees
since the national committee organ
ized Wednesday, the basic ideas are
really determined upon and stand
this way:
The governor viii not make more
than ten speeches in auditoriums.
All Of these to I've made in "stra-
tegic cities, with many others to
be made over the radio, presumably
by the use of hook ups from New
York City.
\ campaign fund of at least So
00o,G0 will he raised by national
organization in which no solicitors
will be used.
The campaign will be directed al
most wholly from New York city
and tie governor will be iii personal
charge of all its major phases.
The governor goes back to Albany
today virtually in absolute control
OF tie national organization. His
selections Of national chairman ard
head of the finance committee were
taken ~ the organization without
the slightest difficulty.
There is strong belief too for the
opinion that the governor made Sc
lection Of Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross
Of Wyoming to head tho women of

on his speech Of acceptance within
