Chances of Smith
 and Roosevelt

mitteeman, is unannounced as to his favorite, although he has been an occasional visitor at Roosevelt headquarters. He was an ardent Smith campaigner in 1928. Miss Elizabeth Marbury, democratic na- tional committee woman, declines to announce her preference.
 James w. Gerard, one of the prominent democratic leaders in New York, has expressed the hope there will be no bitter fight over delegates. He added that both Smith and Roosevelt had the right to seek the nomination.
 ] Prior to the Smith announce ment it was considered likely tha. the New York delegation would go to Chicago divided with three can didates, Smith, Roosevelt and | owen D. Young. This view has not been altered greatly. Leaders of the southern tier of counties re- gently pledged their support to Smith. but none is commenting since the Smith announcement. The primary is April 5.
 Many political observers believe there will be no great fight over selection of the delegation but that the fight will come over or l ganization when Tammany hall may have a great deal of power Mayor James J. Walker has indi- cated he will do nothing to guide l Tammany's position. John F. Cur ry, the Tammany leader, has re- mained silent although he has been fairly friendly with Roosevelt.
 One report which circulated re- gently was that movement was underway for Walker to become a vice presidential candidate with q western man as the presidential nominee.
 Roosevelt and Smith conferred this week in what was described ] as purely "social' meeting. The situation in New Jersey also is somewhat obscure. Harry He- her, the state chairman, said:
 New Jersey in my Judgment Is united behind Governor A. Harry Moore. He would make an ideal candidate. He has the capacity for the position and is a good cam paigner."
 Moore is a close friend of Smith Frank Hague, the Jersey City boss and national committeeman, also is friendly to Smith. Hague. prio, to the Smith announcement, said he would favor anyone Smith fa- vored. A special meeting of the state committee expected shortly will outline the state party's po- sition. The primary Is May IT.
 In Pennsylvania there are three cliques. One Is the Roosevelt group, the anti Roosevelt group and a group favoring Governor Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland. No Smith campaign has been started but one is expected to get under way shortly.
 In the Roosevelt group are such leaders as Joseph Guffey, Pitts burg; E. B. Zimmerman. state committee secretary and Warren Van Dyke, publicity director for the state committee. The anti Roosevelt group includes John R Collins, state chairman; and Sedg- wick Kistler, national committee. man. These latter two favor an uninstructed delegation.
 John Hemphill, democratic can- didate for governor in 1880, favors Ritchie.
 Kistler in a recent statement said:

 The Japanese were attempting to disiodge Chinese troops concen- trations across the settlement line in the Markham road sector when they bombed the wing on mill on the, foreign side of the bombed wire defenses. -
 Lieutenant J. S. Cook and his IS marines stationed in the mill es- caped injury.
 The explosion spread panic. Am balances rushed changing through crowded streets. Women and chil- sdren covered inside their homes shaken by the concussion.
 The wing on mill was No. 3, at 55 Markham road. The bomf . crashed through the roof and 1t ex- ,ploded on the top floor of the two story modern structure. It de- molished a row of reeling ma chimes. The damage wal estimated at 10000 taels (about $6,6OO. Fire brigades sped 10 the scene but the bomb failed to set the mill on fire. however, and danger of spreading confagrations was elim- mated.

 sIt looked to me like an acci- dent" FoN said, the plane ap- uarentIy dropped the bomb due to carelessneAs. The Japanese had been flying over the sector for about an hour before it happened.
 "They began coming over about 9:aA a. m. (8:30 D. m. last night EST), and it was 10:30 a. m. when the bomb hit the mill. It made an awful noise. The screaming or the women was terrible"
 The mill is about 200 yards from the Markham road railway station in the Chinese native city, across Soochow Creek in Chapel. The Japanese air attack had sought to sblast the Chinese troop concentra- ition out of the station there. Marines estimated that 30 bombs were dropped in the native area before the bombing of the cotton min. Damage in the Shanghai Ranking railway yards over the boundary was tremendous.
 Two bombs struck the wing on mill. an investigation disclosed. One was an incendiary bomb designed to set the mill on fire. The other was an high explosive bomb.
 The incendiary bomb failed to explode. Sulphur from it splatter- ed over the room, frightening "A workers there.
 The U. s. marine detachment, none of whom was hit, helped re- store order and calm the hysterlcal, shrieking women.
 Two Japanese planes were over the mill at the time of the bomb ting, and it was uncertain whether .one or both participated in the in- ,cident.

cal conditions in our country to- day are too serious to permit per- sonal ambitions being served. Some people will file papers in Pennsyl- vania for Governor Smith. It looks to me now like Roosevelt against the field with Smith as part of the field"
 Mrs Anna O'Dea Murphy, dem ocratic national committeewoman in Pennsylvania, conceded that both Governor Roosevelt and Smith "had the right" to seek the nomination but she would an- nounce no preference.
 Guffey, who was a Smith cam paigner last election, claims to have 60 of the 76 delegates pledged to Roosevelt. In 1928, 72h of the delegates were pledged to Smith. Others were scattered. The pref erential primary is April 26.
 New Hampshire's stand
 Manchester, N. H., February II - (UP) - Franklin D. Roose- welt democrats in New Hampshire have reduced their field of candi- dates for national convention dele gates to a minimum, so none of their votes will be wasted in the March 8 presidential primary, first in the country.
 Eighteen persons, pledged to Roosevelt, had announced their candidacy for places in New Hampshire's 12-man delegation to the democratic national convention, but at harmony meeting yester- day, six agreed to withdraw. Rob- e.rt Jackson. national committee man, sponsored the meeting.
 Only four New Hampshire dem ocrats have announced their candi- dacy on Alfred E. Smith pledges, but Smith followers state they will have a complete field of 12 can- didates ready for the primary.

ohioan subsided and the senate's

Ohioan subsided and the senate's premier orator held the floor. When he sat down the galleries quickly emptied. The show was over. The new credit relief bill has three major provisions. The first two would provide for advancement to funds by the fed eral reserve banks to member banks that have no further eligible or acceptable paper, upon sound as- sets not now technically eligible for discount"
 This would enable to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank on notes or other securities not now accepted as security.
 The third provision would put to work excess gold reserves now held by the Federal Reserve Banks. Under present law these banks are required to maintain gold equal to 40 per cent of currency issued. At present they hold far more than that.
 The new bill would permit issu- ance of currency with this excess gold as collateral. The gold would be so available for not more than one year, and would release about $1,O0O, 900, ,00O in reserves.
 Roosevelt Pleased
 Albany, N. Y., Feb 11-(UP)- Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt advocates the unemployment re- lief program submitted to congress by U. s. Senator Robert F. Wag- ner.
 The governors approval was contained in telegram to the sen ator. It said, in part:
 T am glad you are working for the unemployment relief bill. It is an important factor in the pres ent emergency. That is why I hope the Emergency Relief bill will pass"
 It was the governors third pro- nouncement concerning national affairs since he announced recently he would seek the democratic nom- ination. He has expressed oppo- sition to the League of Nations, and favors an amendment to the prohibition law.

strong, inasmuch as protests al- ready had been made against Jap- anese airplanes flying over the h. ternational Settlement, endanger- ing foreign lives.
 The aerial attack occurred dur ing morning of severe fighting near Japanese marine headquarters in the Hongkew district some three miles distant. The engagement was marked by occasional bursts of ar tillery fire, but was chiefly out bursts of machine -gunning. Except for occasional sniping, the Woosung front down the river was ominous1y calm. Troops be- hind the lines were active, how ever, preparing for an expected "big push" Additional Japanese troops were reported en route. Chinese troops in Nantao, "out- side the French concession and clear across town from Chapel, be- gan sniping at Japanese warships in the Whangpoo river, off the Nantao sector bund. The Chinese used only rifles. The Japanese re- trained from returning the fire.
 Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, in command, not desiring to aggravate the situation ordered the two de- stroyers down river and they an- chored off YangtZe-Poo, mile or so below the Nantoo Bund.
 All foreign warships in port "dressed ship" in honor of "Kigen- setsu," the Japanese national holi- day celebrating the anniversary of the founding of their empire by Jimmu Tennu, first emperor and legend, direct descendant of the mythical sun goddess.
 The Japanese sailors at 9:30 a. m. toasted the emperor. They were given generous rations of sake" native Japanese rice wine. At 12 o'clock noon, the Japanese fired 21 guns in honor of the emperor. And that sounded like part of the bombardment.
 Admiral Nomura, informed the Chinese snipers in Nantao were continuing their sniping, aiming chiefly at Japanese marines on the Pootsung side of the river, said occupation of Nantao and Lunghua might be necessary later "in the event these Chinese provocations continue"
 The cruiser Ataka, Admiral Koichi Shiosawa's flagship, and two other destroyers also remained in range of the Nantao snipers.
 Admiral Nomura announced willingness to participate in 8 A. hour truce from a. m. to noon to- morrow in the Chapel district only to permit evacuation of non-com- batants there.
 The British consul-general, John r. Brenan, submitted the plan to the Chinese. A foreign relief party was to start removing women and children in trucks from the fight ing zone at z a. m. tomorrow G D. m. EST today).

 Hawes interposed:
 There is not line in the bill that justifies that statement"
 By that time sightseers and others wandering in the adjacent corridors had hurried to the com mittee room whence Hurley E voice came in an angry pitch.
 That Is your opinion about the bill," he said to Hawes. "I want to say to the senator Hurley continued, that I may be a little abrupt, but he should un- derstand there is nothing personal But you have said to Filipino wit nesses that they did not dare op- pose independence and go back to the islands"
 King interjected that Hurley had made a ''serious implication.
 "That is not an implication. Hurley fired back at King. That l is fact.

 More Japan Regrets

The aid spoke to the American naval at tache, who informed W. Cameron Forbes, ambassador, of the min- istry's action. It was understood Forbes passed on the regrets to Secretary of State Stimson.

 Shanghai. Feb 11.--(UP)-Jap- anese naval casualties in the last two weeks of fighting were given out officially to-day as S4 Killed and 450 men wounded. The Jap anese army casualties were not made public. The Chinese casual ties never have been given out of- ficially at their headquarters.
