Hardwick was inclined to believe that Rogers,
or Somers, had been killed in bootlegg1ng
row and that Hodgdon's story was true
Hodgdon was a tramp, however, and as
tramp might be something of criminal He
might even have been associate OF Rogers
at sometime-an associate of Rogers-Tom
Nelson.
The suggestion was absurd, Of course. Yet,
it had been queer, his finding of Rogers Queer

You are Hodgdon?" he asked.
The other nodded.

the sheriff gets here. The constable tells me

Remember that payroll job. Well, two days
after We hid the cash I woke up in the morning
and found Ed Rogers gone. I was suspicious

BRITISH SEE PLOT
AGAINST SPEED KING
Sir Malcolm Campbell Denies,
However, That Longer Runs at
Daytona Beach Are Dangerous.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 3.-Another
International controversy, this one over
the craftsmanship of Americans, was
prec.Ditated by the London Daily Herald
yesterday as Sir Malcolm Campbell
sailed for New York and Daytona Beach,
Fla, to attempt to raise his own world
automobile speed record of 245.733
miles an hour
The Herald, apparently under the
impression the authorities Of Daytona
Beach were lengthening the stretch of
sand available for the run without con-
Sulting Campbell, charged them with
attempting to make the record attempt
a Roman holiday and increasing the
hazards merely to attract visitors
Campbells American manager, Bill
Stural, was quick to point out that Sir
Malcolm himself had asked that the
run be heightened to give him a better
start before entering the measure mile
Mayor E. H. Armstrong, of Daytona
Beach, pointed to the same fact and
said the London Papers charges were
ridiculous"
Sir Malcolm, informed of the con-
troVersy Just before he boarded the
Berergaria, denied that frightening of
the run brought any new hazards.

SMITH EXPECTED
To Be CANDIDATE
World Telegram Says For
mer Governor Is Preparing
Statement.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 3.-The
World-Telegram says the possibility Of
Alfred E. Smith seeking the presidential
nomination at the Democratic National
Convention in June appeared greater
yesterday when it was learned Mr.
Smith had prepared a statement of his
intentions.
The date of release of the statement
will be decided, the pap-r says, at a
conference Of leaders opposed to Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, an avowed can
didate.
It was said to be unlikely that any
thing would be made public prior to the
return from Florida of John J. RaSkOb,
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee.
Smith Won't Comment.
At MI Smiths office it was said he
did not care to comment on the story.
There vas speculation as to whether
the reported announcement would be
made public before the New Hampshire
primary early in March, at which sup
pOrterS of both Smith and Roosevelt
will be candidates for membership in
the States delegation to the national
convention.
In a radio address last night former
Gov. Smith said victory in within reach
of the Democratic party, which today
is the majority party
He said the winning of the 1882 cleo
ton is possible because of the work
done for two and half years in Wash
ingtOn under the leadership of Chair
man RaSkOb.
If you let some one keep telling you
that as long as the Republican party is
mining things therell be a car in every
garage and everlasting prosperity, you
get to believe it after a while" he said
That is, unless you know the other
side Of the story"
100000 Republican Loss.
He said the Democrats had remained
the minority party until the Spring of
1929 because they were not equipped to
tell this other side of the story"
In the 1880 elections, he said, on a
basis of a compilation of the popular
vote, the Democratic candidates re-
ceived nearly a 100000 plurality in
the 37-State-Wide conteSts-"a Republi-
can loss Of more than 100000 votes,
as compared with the 1928 campaign"
His address was devoted almost en-
tirely to plea for funds for the Demo-
cratic victory" campaign. He said
Illinois has raised $50 900, Maryland,
$4,000; Indiana, $1,000; New Mexico
had topped its quota and good reports
had been received from Florida, Cali
fornia and some other States.
