FOG DELAYS HUNT
FOR MISSING PLANE.
Vanlshes on Flight From

Four on Board.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Airplanes
were being got ready tonight in prepa-
ration for an intensive search as soon
as the fog lifts for a plane with four
men in it that left Norfolk for New
York and disappeared into thin air.
The occupants Of the plane were Roy
Finucane, wealthy business man Of
Rochester, N. Y: Frank Able of Mine
ola, N. y; Pilot Harry Smith of Miami,
and Mechanic Robert Boyd of Port
land, Me. Finucane and Able were
passengers of the flight, which began
at Miami Thursday.
At 545 yesterday morning Smith took
of from Norfolk without notifying head
quarters of the Curtiss Flying Service Of
his departure. There was a ceiling OF
1000 feet, the air was clear, and 40
mile tail wind was blowing. The plane.
Sikorski amphihian with two Wasp
engines, should have reached Curtiss
Field by 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
All day today dense fog lay over
the entire course and search by air was
practically impossible, although Curtiss
officials we're informed that two planes
did get off from Anacostia. If the fog
lifts tomorrow at least three planes will
leave from Curtiss Field. The Army
and Navv have been asked to help.
Curtiss officials here knew little OF
Smith except that he was married and
had an excellent record as a pilot.

after such q career not again to re-
enter the lisJs Tor public once.
There Is still another side to the pic
ture. however. II he would take the
Tanimany leadership. there would be
hostility to his assumption OF leader
ship within the organization itself. A
boom was launched not so long ago for
Gov. Smith for mayor of New York by
the New York Evening World and others
friendly to the governor. 1t was urged
that 1t would be entirely fitting for the
former governor to become the chief
executive Of Americas greatest city
where he has been the idol of the peo-
Pile. But In some quarters this sug-
gestion did not meet with immediate
favor. Not. because Gov. Smith could
not successfully compete for the office
If he would. But because the manner In
which he dealt with appointments to
Office during his terms of Office as gov
ernor left much to be desired in the
minds of some of the lesser leaders In
Tammany. He appointed a number of
Republicans to outstanding Jobs. recog-
nizing their worth and also the fact
that In State which has been Repub-
lican. he himself had received no little
support from Republican voters when
he ran for governor II he should be-
come mayor, 1t was said. he might not
make appointments to Office in accord
ance with the demands of Tammany
leaders.
Counted on For Campaign.
Whatever his own plans for the
future, Gov. Smith Is power to be
reckoned with In New York. He Is
counted upon to get into the campaign
for the Democratic candidate for
mayor next Fall and to deliver speeches
for him In the five boroughs of the city
Just as he has done In the past. No
matter what the feeling with regard to
him on the part of some of the lesser
leaders In the organization, there is
no danger, 1t Is said, that he will be
snubbed by Tammany. Indeed, once IL
was proposed In the Friday meeting of
the executive committee that the advice
of Gov. Smith and the other three
elder statesmen" be sought, 1t was a
foregone conclusion that the proposal
would be accepted. Even the district
ahead and elect one OF their own num-
Der Tammany leader without further
delay realized this.
The fact that the question OF pick
ing Tammany leader has been put
up to Mayor Walker and Gov. Smith
Is not without its embarrassing features
for them, however. Mayor Walker Is
q candidate 10 succeed himself. Gov.
Smith so far Is not taking himself out
of the political picture by any means.

LAST TRIBUTE PAID
MELVILLE {. STONE
Notables Attend Final Rites
in Washington Cathedral

By the Associated Press.
The ashes of plain American citizen.
Melville Elijah Stone, who asked OF lie
no higher destiny than that. were COM
mitted yesterday to the special, rock
hewn sanctuary set aside for America S
great dead beneath the towering bulk
of the Washington Cathedral.
Mr.. Stone had sought no such en-
tomhment for himself In life. as the
fullness of years came upon him, the
restful quiet of O little church yard
among the changeless hills Of New
England had called to him. There he
had prepared for his last long sleep.
Yet In death the fame he never
claimed sought him out. Reverent cere-
monial and honors such as only those
may know who have walked in leader
ship among their fellows at home and
abroad were lavished upon him.
Notables Pay Tribute.
Two great Americans he knew as
friends in life, Woodrow Wilson and
George Dewey, already have been laid
to their eternal rest In that crypt, deep
In the quiet breast Of Mount st. Adams,
where the newcomer came yesterday.
And because his name. like theirs, had
been entwined down the decades that
have gone with the vital fabric of
America in peace and war, the Presi-
dent and Vice President Of the United
States. cabinet officers, highest judges,

Bethlehem Chapel. where Bishop Free
man pronounced the solemn, simple ritz
ual of the entonbment service. The
voices of the choir rose and fell softly
in the old, old hymns of solace and
hope.
The slender, bowed figure of the only
living child of the dead man, q daugh-
er/who has given her life in service
to an invalid mother, alone represented
the broken circle of the immediate FAM
lily. Both sons had gone before their
father, twice touching his life with
tragic sorrow.
Daughter Last to Pay Farewell.
And the only flowers in that dim
chapel, gray with the low clouds and
family echoing the muttering fall of
rain far above among the unfinished
structures of the Cathedral, were
great cluster of white lilies, set at the
chancel rail as the last gift of the
stricken widow. who could not be there.
The entombment itself was private.

had been borne away to another cham

and Mrs. Hoover and all the dignitaries

and the few closest friends and asso-

final rites as his ashes were set In the
crypt beneath.
And after all the high oficials, old
comrades, friends and the rest had
gone, she remained to say the last fare
