Nominees.

BY the Associated Press.
Prohibition has been thrust with re-
newed vigor into the coming preSiden-
tial campaign by the insiStence OF n
group of militant drys that both the
Republican and Democratic parties
meet the issue squarely.
Representatives of 30-odd national
temperance organizations at a confer
ence here which ended last night draft
ed formal demands that the two ma
tional political conventions not only de-
clare foi rigid dry enforcement out
consider as presidential timber only
men whose stand on prohibition is not
to be questioned.
In addition. plans arc on foot for a
meeting in Florida next week Of dry
leaders south of the Ohio and east of
the Mississippi. at which 1t is predicted
ways and means of nipping the presi-
dental ambitions of Gov. Smith Of New
York will be discussed
Meet Opens Sunday.
The Florida conference will get under
way Sunday. at st. Petersburg. under
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League.
The main purpose is to canvass the
prohibition situation In Southeastern
States, but those In charge predict that
consideration will be given the candi-
dacy of the New York governor. and
the possibility also that first place on
the ticket might go to Gov. Ritchic of
Maryland or Senator Reed OF Mis-
souri,. both of whom are also iroWned
upon by the Anti-Saloon League.
Some dry leaders at yesterdays con-
ference will have hand in the ST
Petersburg meeting They say private
~ there is a possibility OF bolt by
Southern drys from the Democratic
party II any one regarded as wet Is
named at Houston. The prediction Is
made In some quarters that in such an
event third party ticket might be set
up for Southern Democrats who are
dry, while there are forecasts also that
a move will be made to draft" William
G. McAdoo.
Dodge Religious Issue.
The name of Gov. Smith on several
occasions crept into the discussion, al
though for the most part speakers re-
Trained from referring to him or any
others mentioned for the nomination.
Two Catholic laymen - DR.. John A..
Lapp of Chicago and William II. De-
lacy, a former Juvenile Court judge
here $500 delivered addresses. but both
veered away from the religious issue.
At the closing banquet at the May
flower Hotel at which Bishop William
F. Mcdowell of the Methodist Episcopal
Church was POSTMASTER, DR.. Ashby
Jones of st. Louis. representing the
Southern Baptist Church, was applaud
ed when he declared he would welcome
the opportunity 70 vote for a Roman
Catholic for President. but wanted to
choose the Catholic. He praised Senator
Walsh. the Montana Democrat. who Is
Catholic and an avowed dry.
AS was planned. the conference
adopted resolutions calling on both the
major political parties to put dry law
enforcement planks In their platforms
and to consider as candidates only
friends OF prohibition.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
by John NJ. Hammond. former Des
Moines chief of police, to put the con-
ference on record in favor OF declara-
tions by the Republican and Democratic
national conventions for strengthen
ing of the Vo!stead law.

Cape Charles. Although hope for the
safety of the three men has practically
been abandoned, 1t is believed possible
that the clue supplied by the Cape
Charles man may lead to definite con-
clusions concerning their fate.
According to williams. the plane
passed over Cape Charles between 2:30
and o'clock. bound north. Several
people heard the machine and declared
the engine was missing. Three minutes
later the plane reappeared. II. .ading
southwestward. or almost in the opposite
direction. with the engine still missing
At 3:l5 am. the crew of New York
Pennsylvania & Norfolk Railway tug
sighted the plane Oft Plantation Flats
about 3 miles south Of Cape Charles
still flying in soutnwestcrly direction
and with the engine still missing lady
1t soon disappeared and. so far as could
be learned. was not heard again The
direction of the plane was coward the

Water Is $50 Feet Deem.

The water In the channel off ?lanta-
ton Flats Is from $50 10 ls0 feet deep
in some places and the theory is that
the heavy plane may have nose-divcd
into the water or may have been wreck
ed In landing and went down.
Another clue developed yesterday was
the finding Of a big Oil spot on the sur
ace OF the water in Mobjack Bay. across
the bay from Cape Charles a Navy
tug was sent TO the scene by Rear Ad-
miral r. E. CoontZ. commanding the
5th Naval District, who Is personally
supervising the search for the missing
flyers. II was found. however that
the spot was floating with the tide and
could have been carried 10 where IL vas
found from most any place In :he bay
since the plane Is supposed 10 have gone
down. To make sure that nothing that
could be done would be overlooked the
