Has Been Made for
Property.

L. NJ Boomer, president of the Cap.
ital Hotel Co. and head of the Boomer
Dupont interests, owners of the Will
lard Hotel here. in a telephone CONVEX
sation from his New York Office today
declared that while an offer had been
made for his interests in the Willard,
no action had been taken on the mat
ter and that while concessions might
be made" it was too early to regard
the offer as being in the nature of ne
gotiations for change in the owner
ship of the hotel. which is the sue
cessor of long Inc Of historic hos
telries at Fourteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue.
Mr.. Boomer characterized as moth
ing unusual the offer which has been
made for the hotel, with which rumor
has connected q number of Washing
tonians.
I'VE have received many offers for
the willard" Mr.. Boomer declared
and we'll sell anything we have pro-
vided we get enough for 1t. But
want to state emphaticaily that the
willard has not been sold and that it
is much too early to speak of the offer
we have received as meaning that
actual negotiations have been entered
into for the sale Of the hotel. There
might be concessions and the hotel
might be sold. cannot say more than
that however"
Rumors that q determined attempt
to gain ownership Of the willard has
been made have been current in the
city for some time. Mr.. Boomer would
not discuss the identity of those who
have made the offer.
Frank Hight, manager of the hos
telry, this morning was non-commit-
tai when faced with the statement of
Mr.. Boomer. He would neither affirm
nor deny that he was one of those
who have made an offer for the hotel,
nor would he discuss to what extent
efforts to buy the hotel had gone.
II do not feel that can discuss the
matter in any way at this time" he
declared.
julius Garfinckel department store
owner, another prominently mentioned
in connection with the attempt to pur-
chase the willard, yesterday dismissed
reports that he was interested in the
project with an unequivocal denial.
z. F. Colladay, another mentioned,
was out Of the city today.

Excerpts from Platform.
Excerpts from the platform adopted
bv the anti-Smith Democrats In con-
vention at Roanoke, Va, dealing with
prohibition, the Democratic national
leadership and President Hoover, fol-
low:
state and Federal prohibition of the
trafic In intoxicating liquors for bev-
whatever additional legislation, includ-
! ING the provision of whatever force of
men and amount OF money may be
necessary for effective enforcement
| The advantages Of prohibition to the
! Nation at large are 50 great that sum
| Gent men and money must be provided
| to compel both the thirsty and covetous
| TO respect and obey the law.
I'VE demand the resignation OF John
Raskob from the chairmanship OF the
national Democratic committee. We
denounce his injection Of the prohibi-
| ton issue into the last campaign and
his EFFORT to brand the Democratic
party as opposed to prohibition.
Second, we place on record our great
satisfaction ut the election OF Hon
/ Herbert Hoover to be President Of the
! United States.
| Hoover's stand Is Cited.
"w. also record our high apprecia
| tim of the tremendous emphasis which
| has been placed by President Hoover
unon observance and enforcement OF
| law In his inaugural address, in his
address to the Press Association In New
york City and to the law enforcement
| commission recently appointed; his
open, persistent emphasis upon thi:
vital question is in full accord with his
/
action In support of him in preference
to Alfred z. Smith in the campaign Of
1928.
Had Alfred e. Smith been elected
1t would certainly have been widely
vociferously. Justly and logically pro-
claimed that the prohibition policy had
been repudiated and that mandate
had been given for such modification
of the prohibition laws as would nav
resulted in their practical nullilication
and certainly If virginia had voted To-
Smith the Democratic State leadership
including the candidates in the Angus
primary, would have been responsible
to q greater or less degree for such
reputation of the prohibition policy
The election Of Herbert Hoover put al
end to the hopes Of the enemies o
the prohibition law.

. active, hearty support and cooperation
