been waiting for him at the local
airport for several days.
Would Save Expense
He explained that he wished
to receive formal notification at
once to save an expensive gather

purpose was to get the Demo
cratic campaign off to a flying
start.
While in Chicago, the governor
also will attend a meeting of the
Democratic National Committee,
at which he is expected to urge
that the Smith faction, which op-
posed him to the bitter end, join
him in his drive for the White
House.

When the governor retired at

had less than four hours sleep
out of the last 48 hours. Mrs.
Roosevelt personally prepared for
him a large dish Of scrambled
eggs, which he consumed with
relish after receiving newspaper
men and posing, with members
of his family, for newspaper and
motion picture photographers.
Flooded With TelegramS
Hundreds Of kilograms poured
in on the executive mansion
through the night and the tele-
phones tangled constantly with
calls from all parts of the United
States. The mansion rooms were
transformed, as il by magic, into
bee hives of industry, with
secretaries darting here and

The crowd started singing

Governor Roosevelt's elation

two hours before the fourth bal

Even though knowing 1t was
useless and that the thing was
in "the bag" the Smith partisans
stuck grimly to their guns and
voted for him right down the
line. Smith had IS votes in
New York on the first ballot, and
he had SO from New York on
the final ballot. That's how
close New York stuck to him.
And in New Jersey, Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts,
he never lost a vote at any stage
of the proceedings.
6S N. Y. Votes for Smith
On the final ballot, realizing
that it was all over, there was
even a note of defiance in the
voice of John F. Curry, the
Tammany leader, when he an
nounced the New York vote was
"63 for Smith, 81 for Roosevelt" {"

chose to interpret it as McAdoo'S

FLEMINGTON, N. j., July
2 I.N.S.).-The fate of John
Hughes Curtis, Norfolk, Va,
shipbuilder, who has been on
trial all week on the charge
of obstructing the police search
for the Lindbergh baby kid
napers by perpetrating a hoax,
was in the hands of a jury
of seven men and five women
today.
The case went to the jury at
1898 a. m. after Judge Adam
o. Robbins had delivered q 23-
minute charge in which lie in
terpreted the law in the case.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergl was
not in court when the case went
to the jury.
Would Demand Sentence
Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck,
jr., said that if the jury returns
verdict Of guilty he would ask
that sentence be imposed immedi-
ately.
Under the statute involved
Curtis may be sentenced to a
maximum of three years in prison
and to pay a fine not exceeding
$1,000.
If Curtis is acquitted no further
action will be taken against him,
he added.
Defense Attorney C. Lloyd
Fisher said that if a guilty YER
dict is returned he would move
at once for new trial.
Judge Robbins, in his charge,
stressed the defendants right to
the benefit Of reasonable doubt"
At the request of defense counsel
the. court defined to the jury
the apparently conflicting ele-
mlents in the case. The judge
said:
CHARGE TO JURY
eff you find Curtis does not
know the kidnapers, he could
not have helped them, and is
not guilty. If the testimony
adduced by the State show
facts which tend to establish
the defendants guilt. and if
not true, he could deny the
same.
"The failure of the defend
ant to take the stand raises a
presumption that he could not
deny the same"
The court also stated that
Harry L. Stout, special prosecu-
tor, conferred with Curtis four
times upon his defense plans.
Curtis sat at defense counsel
table, apparently in a confident
mood. At his side sat his IL
year-old daughter, Constance Cur
tis. She seemed trifle bewil-
dered. Now and then she glanced
affectionately at her father.
COnfers With Attorneys
Prior to the judges delivering
of his charge conferences were
held between the attorneys in the
case and the court. The nature
Of the conferences was not re-
vealed.
Assistant Attorney General Jo-
seph A. Lanigan, assigned to as
sist the prosecution. said that 81
specifications had d'been submitted
by both sides to Judge Robbins,
who had rejected seven of them.

everybody.
Just want to warn you, boys
and girls, about one Of those
campaign promises these Dem
ocratic candidates have been
making.
You know, they've been tell
ing you that if they are nomi-
mated and elected, they will be
eternally awake to the needs Of
the Nation.
Now, we all know better than
that after watching these all
night sessions.
Asleep Since 1924
Just look at those frazzled-out
candidates and delegates. Some
of them have been asleep ever
since the 1924 convention at
Madison Square Garden. And
If this years crop of candidates
doesn't sleep straight through the
next four years-well, you might
as we'll nominate an owl and be
done with it.
Maybe we ought to feel sorry
for these patriots who have been
spending their nights sleeping on
the hard seats and the under.
takers chairs in the convention
hall.
But, doggone it, I just can't
feel sorry for them. Why, one
of these slat-bottomed conven-
ton chairs, or the concrete floor
in the stadium is comparatively
luxury if these birds only knew
it. Isn't there good, leak-proof
roof overhead; and aren't there
hot dog stands out in the cor
ridors? And isn't there always
the boss to touch for the price
of a cup of coffee?
No Roofs in Park
Well. there aren't any roofs over
the park benches in hundreds of
cities where jobless men and
women have been sleeping for a
long time before this convention.
There aren't any hot-dog stands
open for them. And. if they men,
ton the price of cup of coffee,
they're likely to get cops night
stick bent across their heads.
They can't even break into jail,
where it's dry.
No, sir. we needn't waste too
much sympathy OF these candi-
dates who have to sit up all night
keeping the other fellows out Of
the watermelon patch where all
those juicy votes and quarter
votes grow.

thought of the prospect. He
said:

After lingering on the field a
little while, the governor, who
wore a blue suit and a panama
hat, with his retinue, moved
toward the plane as the crowd
closed about the party.
The last to shake hands with
him before he boarded the plane
was four-year.old Bobby Howe

the Chicago convention helped
lead the fight for RooSevelt's
nomination.
AS Roosevelt bent down and
kissed him. the child said:
"Happy voyage"
He also delivered to the gov

the huge number Of congratu'

the night.

write his acceptance speech on
