The villages Of Larson and Kelly,

railway, almost completely were de-
stroyed.
Two other Ontario towns-Dyment
and Port Arthur-barely escaped
the flames.
From a hospital cot here Mrs.
Albert Swain told how she and her
husband escaped fifty miles through
smoke and flames. She said they
fought the fire until the flames be-
gan to spread over their mink farm.

turned to his home today to find
utter devastation at the mink farm,
where animals valued at $50, 1000 were
raised.
Only a short distance from there a

by the flames, dived into river tc
save their lives. They remained ir

MORROW BOOM
FOR PRESIDENT
is SET ROLLING
Diplomat Makes No Effort
to DiSavoW Aspirations
at Rally.

BIZ United Press
TRENTON, N. j., June 5-A def
mite movement to place Ambassa-
dor Dwight w. Morrow into the
White House was believed under
way today.
Two speeches, heralded as start
ing the boom, were made Wednes-
day night by former Governor E.
G. Stokes and DR.. John Grier Hib-
ben. president of Princeton uni
versity, at a campaign rally for
Morrow, who at present Is seeking
the Republican nomination for
United States Senator.
The two Republican speakers set
forth the career of the noted f1nan-
cier and diplomat in glowing terms,
and when they hailed him g being
Of presidential timber they were
drowned in applause.
No Denial by Morrow
Morrow was on the speakers plat
form and followed them to the ros-
trum, but the fact that he made no
effort to disavow the boom was re-
garded as significant.
Il know that I am treading on
delicate ground" said former Gov
ernor Stokes after proposing Morrow
as a potential candidate for the
presidency, considering the reports
that he would disavoW at Atlantic
City being a candidate.
But I don't think he has any
thing to do with the question. No
man in this country is big enough
to decline the call to the presidency
of the republic"
When Ambassador Morrow spoke
at Atlantic City recently, it was pre-
dicted he would say he had no
aspirations toward the White House.
No definite statement of that sort
was Forthcoming, however, although
parts of his address lent themselves
to Interpretation along such lines.
Repeal Stand Praised
DR.. Hibben, praising Morrow's
stand for repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, remarked:
IF the ambassador should become
PreSident-and that is not wild
stretch of imagination-we are 60
ing to claim him at least in part
for Princeton"
Henry Hilfers, former secretary of
the New Jersey federation of labor,
added his approval of Morrow in a
later speech.
