PHILADELPHIA, April l3-"H the
voting age in 1923 had been 18 instead
of 81, would have taken Hoover TO
the laundry" said former Gov Alfred
E. Smith of New York, to a group OF
Pennsylvania Democrats yesterday,
while passing through Philadelphia.
The former New York Governor was
on his way to Washington and was
greeted at North Philadelphia by Smith
supporters, who rode with him on
Pennsylvania train to West Philadel-
phia.
He was telling the group of his
1928 campaign experiences on the
short trip between the two stations
when he made the reference to Hoover
The 1928 Democratic candidate said
he stood on his original declaration
that he was not an active candidate
for the presidency, but added he did
not want this statement interpretated
as meaning he did not desire the sup
port of his friends.
Persons in the crowded dining car
asked why Gov. Roosevelt of New York
had not consulted him, as head of the
party, about running for President.
Nobody" said Smith, can answer
that but Gov. Roosevelt himself. All
can say is that he did not do So"

CHICAGO, April 13.-Former Gov.
Len Small, nominated by the Repub-
licans IN yesterdays primary had a
lead OF more than $4,000 over his
closest opponent, Omer N. Custer of
Galesburg when 4,4o5 of the State S
1929 precincts had reported. The vote:
Small, 258,l48; Custer. 1870: Attor-
ney General Oscar Carlstrom, 1882.
Probate Judge Henry Horner of Cook
County won the Democratic nomina-
turns from 1851 precincts. which gave
him lead of 1000 votes over his
closest rival, State Representative
Michael L. 1goe of Chicago.
May Control Delegates.
William Hale Thompson, the Small
chief OF staff, is an avowed opponent
OF President Hoover and it was re-
garded in some quarters as probable
that the Small organization may at
tempt to name the IL delegates-at-
large to the national convention.
The so district delegates selected in
yesterdays primary were, for the most
part, pledged to Hoover
The Cermak- -Horner slate apparently
will be in complete control of the forth
coming Democratic State Convention.
The delegates at large to be selected,
however, are already pledged to Sena-
tor James Hamilton Lewis, and no Sec
ond choice has been indicated
In yesterdays Republican senatorial
contest Senator Otis F. Glenn, incum-
bent, apparently was renominated over
Newton Jenkins and William Dieterich,
Congressman at large, chosen as the
Democratic standard bearer.
John A. Swanson was renominated
overwhelmingly for States attorney OF
Cook County (Chicago) over Municipal
Judge John H. Lyle and Michael Fem
berg. Thomas j. Courtney, State
Senator, was the Democratic choice.
Despite elaborate protective measures,
little trouble accompanied the voting.
One ward worker was shot and wound
ed and few minor disturbances were
reported.

DEMOCRATS HALT.
FUND PROBE TALK
Robinson of Indiana Asks In
quiry of Expenditures in
Present Campaign.

BY the Associated Press.
A demand in the Senate today by
Senator Robinson, Republican. of In
diana, for investigation of presidential
campaign expenditures, particularly of
those in behalf of Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York, stirred a sharp
debate.
The Indiana Senator read a news
paper story quoting Gov. william H.
Murray of Oklahoma as charging that
s50,000 was sent into Nebraska for yes
terday's primary in behalf of the Roose-
velt ticket
This is very serious charge and
unquestionably should be investigated, t"
he said.
AS he launched into a review of the
recent court action filed in New York
by signer of a Democratic campaign
fund note of 1928, Robinson was halted
by roar of Democratic voices.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, finally obtained rec
ognition and insisted that Senator
Trammell, Democrat, Of Florida, who
had yielded the floor to Robinson of
Indiana. decline to permit "a political
speech"
Trammell then insisted upon claim
ing recognition in his own right, and
Robinson Of Indiana said he would
speak later
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa, broke in to state that Gov. Muir
ray had denied the accuracy of the
newspaper story quoted by Robinson in
reference to the Nebraska Roosevelt
campaign fund charge
Robinson of Indiana asked Senator
Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa, before
the Democrats broke up the speech,
whether he hoped for early action on
his resolution directing a Senate in
vestigation of presidential and sena-
torial campaign funds
Dickinson said the resolution was be-
fore the Elections Committee and had
been delayed because of the Hefiin-
Bankhead senatorial election contest
before the committee. He added he
hoped for early authorization of the
inquiry.
When the Democrats broke in, Rob-
inson of Indiana had just begun a
recital of the court action filed by
P. F. Kenny in New York. In this
Kenny alleged that notes aggregating
$4,000 were signed by him in 1928
upon the assurance of Democratic
Chairman Raskob that the signers
would never be held responsible.

Republican chieftain and his policies
for the business depression.

erences to himself as running mate for
Roosevelt, but he formally announced
his candidacy for reelection to the
Senate and added that he wanted to
be nominated in a primary.

ing the convention. The only public
discussion of the subject was the action

gress to support any move to bring
the liquor question before vote of the

80 instructed delegates votes from Mis-

Each national convention has 1,154
full delegate votes. with ITO, or two
thirds, required to nominate at the
Democratic meeting. and 578, or a ma
jority, at the Republican.
All told, 80 Democratic delegates were
named yesterday-Kentucky, 26: Ne

total to date to 430.
Lewis Runs Second.
Next to Roosevelt in delegate strength
