ABOARD GOVERNOR SMITHS
SPECIAL TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 26-Goveruor
Alfred E. Smith Travelled eastward
today with the impression that the
outstanding speech of his campaign
in the West was the one he delivered
at Oklahoma City, denouncing the
whispering campaign against him
on account of his religion, and
meeting attacks on his personal life.
"I've gotten more kilograms IF
approval on the Oklahoma City
speech than any other" he said to-.

All, he said, were messages of ap-
proval None criticizing or con-

ceiVed, he added.

The Sepcial campaign train was
moving today across North Dakota,
with the first stop scheduled at
Mandan at IL o'clock. There, Gov
ernor Walter Maddox was to join
the train.
Maddox, who was lieutenant gov
ernor and succeeded to the gov

elected on the Republican ticket,
but is running for reelection as
the regular nominee of the Demo-
cratic party.

cratic candidate for Governor.

Governor Smith received an en-
thusiastic reception yesterday after
noon when he left the train at Butte
and headed a parade through the
copper mining center, which had
declared holiday for his visit.
There was a partisan recep-
ton for him last night at Living
ton, Mont. 1t appeared that nearly
every one of the $500 inhabitants
was in the crowd at the station. The
campaign train will make several
stops today in North Dakota.
The Democratic candidate believes
he will carry Montana in November.
Smith will resume his campaign
with a speech Thursday night at st.
Paul, following a reception at Min
neapolis. He said he had not de-
cided exactly what subject he would
discuss there, but began to gather
his material today.
He explained that his subjects will
be determined by developments. He
can not tell far in advance, he said,
what he will discuss, this depend
ing upon the way the campaign
shapes up. 1t will be a ready fire"
campaign, he revealed.
The Democratic candidate will put
on his brown derby, symbol of his
campaign, again at Milwaukee.
Meanwhile, he is wearing the grey
fedora, becoming hat, loaned him
by his multi-millionaire friend, Will
liam F. Kenny. 1t gives him the
apeaprance Of a prosperous inhab-
liant of this western country.

The Wolf indictment, it is
understood, was based upon the
fact that a stolen Lincoln
coupe was found in his posses
sion by State police several
weeks ago.
This is the coupe which passed
through the hands of Michael j.
Glenn, former Indianapolis traffic
inspector, now of Long Island, N. Y.
Glenn Offers Help
When Glenn learned several days
ago authorities were tracing the car
he had sold to Wolf, he came here
and announced he would cooperate
with them.
He declared a man giving the
name of Frank Moore met him in
the Claypool last March and urged
him to buy the car for $4,000.
Moore" told him he owned the car
in partnership with a fellow rum
runner, with whom he had broken.
Glenn declared he could not oper-
ate so expensive a car and offered 1t
to his friend Wolf. WOLF, Glenn
said, suspected the origin Of the bar
gain and was lukewarm.
Title Deemed o. X.
The ex-policeman said he In
vestigated the title to the car and
was assured by a State policeman
and by city police that they knew
Of nothing against it. Then he
bought it and a short time later,
sold it to Wolf.
State police discovered the car had
been stolen in Cleveland, numbers
altered and brought here.
District Attorney Albert Ward re-
fused to disclose details of the in
dictments, pending arrest of the
sixth man. He said that roughly the
indictments covered the handling Of
twenty "hot" cars.
In each instance transportation,
concealment and conspiracy is
charged.
Traugott and Harry Sussman are
partners in the Traugott clothing
store, wrecked by explosion Aug. 26.
Elmer Sussman is a cousin of Trau-
gott. Laffey was mentioned in con-
nection with the liquor business and
is friend of Traugott.
These four are at liberty under
$25, 1000 bonds on the commissioners
warrants.
Others to Be Indicted
The grand jury is expected to IN
dict a total of between fifteen and
twenty persons before it is through.
Criminal Judge James A. Collins
set Monday as arraignment date for
Edward Traugott, one of the store
owners, on a charge of conspiracy
to transport liquor.
The arraignment also will include
Paul Scharffin, attorney and friend
Of Traugott; Frederick Pickles)
O'Roark, former policeman; Homer
Wright, alleged habitual criminal
and Donald Underwood, professional
bonds, all indicted with Traugott in
the conspiracy case.
All these names have figured in

the teams to take the Held.
Local fans had taken precau-
tions and wore their heaviest
togs. A stiff frigid breeze was
blowing across the park and it
promised to be far from CONT
Portable for the rival clubs.
Interest Is High
Everything else was rosy. Inter
est was at heated pitch, each club
figured itself better than the other,
and Rochester fans swarmed the
ball park, ready for opening action.
In fact, insofar as Rochester was
concerned, the rest of the world was
forgotten and BEAT indianapolis"
was the city slogan.
Even the wintry weather failed to
cool local enthusiasm and a packed
park appeared certainty, as the
rabid fans milled their way into the
frk.
The Glass AA rivals we're to take
the field at 1870 indianapolis time
to start the yearly inter League ar
gument between the "big minors"
and the event had setting with
worlds series flavor.
Fans stood in the rain Tuesday
buying tickets for the four games
in Rochester, despite the fact
Rochester papers warbled the
"blues" over the pitching power
brought here by the Indianapolis
club.
Clubs in Fast Workouts
Both clubs worked out Tuesday,
the Indians following the Red
Wings in the field, and the local
''sharps" established the Bethel crew
as the favorite.
Large rolls of money f1ourished by
q party of American Association
followers Tuesday night went
begging, the answer being that In
te-national coin carriers desired to
wait the outcome of the first tilt be-
fore taking a chance.
The money angle was only down
town stuff, however, and the dyed
in-the-wooT fans were predicting the
Red Wings would upset the HoosierS.
Bruno Bethel, Tribe pilot, chased
his boys to bed early Tuesday night,
with a warning against over
confidence. They mobilized in the
Seneca Hotel lobby and had the
series won and shares figured even
before a ball was thrown.
Warns of Overconfdence
Bethel again unloaded some sage
advice at a player meeting this
morning the last team powwow be-
fore the initial series battle this
afternoon. Signals we're rehearsed,
strong and weak points of the enemy
discussed, and the pitchers were
cross-examined about the condition
of their arms.
