asked Connolly the reason for his

his voice, he confessed that the

to his getting in the hall today.
So to make sure that he wouldn't,
they manacled him to bench by

him.

Well, friends, we gate -crashers

AIS STRATEGY
TO END FEUDS
Policy Of Cancellation to
Determine Choice of
Chairman.
PLAN q HEADQUARTERS
Stress Border States Fight;
Smith Will Take Ma
tionaI Tour.
BY RAY TUCKER

HOUSTON, Texas, June 28.-Al
Smiths policy as head of the Demo-
cratic party following his seemingly
certain nomination Friday will be
to conciliate all warning factions,
according to his spokesman here.
In recognizing the party and
mapping the campaign, the New
York Governor is said to be keep
ing November victory rather than
a June nomination in mind At
conferences to be held either in New
York or Albany soon after the con-
vention adjourns, Smiths plans will
be unfolded.
Discuss Chairman
Smith, of course, will not for
fnally assume control until he names
his national chairman, which he
may do before the leaders leave
here. Speculation already centers
on at least four names, and their
identity reveals the strategy ex-
pected to animate the Democrats
in their clash with the Hoover-Cur-
tbs ticket.
The four men most talked about
are Governor Harry Byrd of Vir-
ginia, Homer A. Cummings, national
chairman under Wilson, and for
mer McAdoo leader; j. Bruce Kre-
mer, Montana, national committee
man and McAdoo's floor manager
at Madison Square Garden. and
Senator Peter c.. Gerry Of Rhode
Island, a personal friend of Smith.
While Smith might prefer to pick
somebody closer to him than any
Of these men, political expediency
will hardly permit the selection of
: e wet, a New Yorker, or any one
allied to Tammany Hall. His adj
visors have urged him to name
somebody nor1 representative of
the other wings, political and geo.
graphic, of the party.
Byrd Favored
Governor Byrd, for obvious
reasons, is held in high esteem. He
is the chief executive of a great
southern State and member of one
of Americas oldest families. His
record as Governor is unassailable.
Ills aviator brother, who is a close
fNend of Smith, has helped to popu-
1arize the name.
Cummings and Kremer, because
Of their tie-up with the McAdoo
faction, are regarded favorably.
The Smith policy of Cancellation
has been reflected here in the con-
duct of Senator Robert F. Wagner,
the New York Governors spokes-
man. During the battling of week
ago, Wagner paid a visit to Reed.
In his conferences with men like
Senator Glass, Senator Harrison,
Senator Pittman, he has stressed
the chances of victory and the
necessity CT harmony.
Smith to Take Stump
The Democrats campaign plans
contemplate a departure from those
of other years, when two head
quarters in New York and Chicago
we're established. 1t is said Smith
will have additional headquarters in
Iouisviile and Denver. The Louis
vile Office will have charge OF the
border-State fight, which may de-
eide the contest, while the Denver
organization will wage the fight in
the Rocky Mountain States and Far
West.
Smith is expected to make ma
tion-wide tour, beginning early in
September. He probably will make
