TAMMANY SEEKS
Al SMITHS HELP
District Leaders Turn to Him
in Failing to Pick Chief
From Ranks.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Having
failed to pick man from the ranks"
Tammany today was looking to former
Gov. Alfred E. Smith and other party
leaders to help choose new chieftain.
After accepting the resignation of
George w. Olvany yesterday, the execu-
tive committee of Tammany found it
self deadlocked on the choice Of a sue
cessor. A committee was appointed to
consult Mr.. Smith, Mayor Walker, Sur
rogate James A. Foley and United States
Senator Wagner.
The decision to invite the titular head
OF the Democratic party into the coun-
ellis OF the wigwam was an abuut-face
on the part of the district leaders Dur
ing a week of intensive campaigning
among themselves they had ignored Mr..
Smith in their determination that no
outsider should have voice In the
picking of the new leader,
Olyany to Stay Longer.
Until the committee of emissaries has
had time to act and a new leader is
named Olvany will continue to dis
charge the duties OF the position from
which his sudden resignation a week
ago threw Tammany into a turmoil Of
internal strife.
Although the weeks campaign under
the slogan "A man from the ranks" had
brought forward John F. Curry and
Martin G. McCue. district leaders, as
outstanding candidates, no vote was
taken at the executive committee meet
| ing.
Curry and McCue supporters both de-
| clared they were ready for showdown
Neither man. 1t was understood, had
SUFFICIENT votes pledged to win, but was
counting on the moral effect Of an i'm
pressive show of strength to rally
enough additional votes.
Stand of Surrogate Foley.
After the meeting Surrogate Foley,
one of the Older statesmen" of whom
the special committee was instructed to
seek advice announced he would have
nothing further to do with them under
the circumstances" The "circum-
stances" were interpreted as the at
tempted ignoring Of Mr.. Smith and
other party leaders and the mad scram-
BILE among the district leaders for the
vacated position.
While Mayor Walker held numerous
conferences with district leaders on the
selection of Olvanys successor, he said
several times during the week that he
had no candidate.
The special committee consisted OF
three men and three women, with Peter
j. Dooling, chairman of the executive
committee, acting as ex-oficio chair
man.

ILLINOIS bikes HOLD.
| Patrolmen Pace Banks Of Rising
Mississippi With Sand Bags.


Mississippi With Sand Bags.
QUINCY. H.. March % Lp,-The
eyes OF the lowlands cast their first
waking glances at the Mississippi to-
day and the sight they saw brought
gratitude. The bikes still held.
Some Of those eyes had not closed
in sleep, for worried patrolmen still
paced the river front. ready with sand
bags to close any breach that threat
ened to food the $4,000 acres in the
South Quincy and Lima Lake district.
The river had risen half a foot during
the day-reaching 20 feet on the
Quincy gauge-and was still rising.
Up to the north about 10 miles. in
the Indian Grave region, refugees
looked from second story windows and
from tents on high places out over the
vast lake that two days ago was 10000
acres of rich farm land. Two breaks
in the levees Thursday night loosed the
waters over this section and brought
a drop in the river stage at Quincy.
The decline--which cost thousands OF
dollars to farmers in the inundated area
and drove 80 per cent of them from
their homes-was only temporary, how
ever for the river started rising again
at Quincy shortly after noon.
Militia on Duty.
National Guardsmen of Company G.,
130th Illinois Infantry. went on duty
today to relieve the weary volunteers,
who are worn by days Of vigilance,
without sleep and with little food.
No other bikes have broken since
the two of Thursday night, but seep-
age Is becoming serious around South
Quincy. There are about 800 homes
there and In the Lima Lake tract.
Bridges are covered with water In many
places, dozens Of factories along the
river In Iowa, Missouri and Illinois
have been forced to suspend. farmers
have moved out their cattle and grain
and tons of wheat lie ruined under
water.
The nature of the levees has pre-
vented more extensive flooding. For
financing reasons, the drainage districts
are units surrounded by the bikes, so
that when a levee breaks that section
alone becomes huge reservoir.

and justify the confidence placed In him
by the President.
President Hoover picked for the Com.
merce post a man possessed of attri-
butes. strikingly similar to his own.
Robert Patterson Lamont has the
Hoover capacity for getting things done
without lot Of ballyhoo.
II was this quality which first direct

tary said.

He was directing the relief and re-
construction work and I was serving as
vice chairman of a special committee
appointed by the United States Cham
Der OF Commerce to investigate phases
of the disaster. The committee made a
tour of the flooded area, going down
one side of the river and coming back
on the other. The chairman of the
committee was unable to make the trip.

way I had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Hoover and reporting to him our

Mr.. Hoover does not lose sight of that
man. He kept Mr.. Lamont and his
abilities in mind long after the flood
emergency had passed, and when there
came the problem, not long ago, OF
selecting head for the Department of
Commerce, the name of Lamont stood
out prominently in the list Of men
available for the important post.
Lamont Surprised by Selection.
Secretary Lamont was just as sur
prised at his selection as was the gen.
eral public So was Mrs. Lamont. She
was in Paris when she first heard the
news, and Mr. Lamont thinks she read
about 1t in the newspapers before she
received his own cablegram telling OF
the appointment. Mrs. Lamont cur
tailed her travels abroad and returned
at once to this country, landing at New
York Just few days ago.
I'm leaving to Mrs. Lamont the job
of house hunting in Washington" the
Secretary explained. For the present
I'm staying at the Hay-Adams House.
One Of the Chicago newspapers carried
dispatch to the effect that I had
taken over this house but I would
have to have a pretty large family to
do that, wouldn't II"
Family Is Small.
The Lamont family Is quite small, as
a matter of fact. There are two
daughters and one Of these Is married.
They are Mrs. Charles Belknap Of New
