BY MAXINE DAVIS Limited Press Stan Correspondent


 Chicago, June 23-The women leaders in the anti-Roosevelt camp set out today to seek whom they might devour in the way of dele gates.
 These are women with real pow CT. Not bossed, as yet, but they're on their way. In fact one of the most interesting developments of this democratic convention is the fact that for the very first time in the national conventions or either major party some women are emerging as practical politicians.
 Foremost among them Is Flor ence Farley, of Kansas, vice-chair- man of the national committee; young, engaging, she can take de- feat on the chin. Sooner or later hey opponents are sorry they were so mean. She has political acu- men. the result of her years of experience, with men and women. Both come for advice.

 "The Roosevelt crowd are promising everything but the mortgage on the family farm," said one rival manager to-day.
 Roosevelt scouts were out in all directions to-day hunt ing for the 100 votes needed to send the governor flying across the tw0-thirds finish line.
 The most bitter of the anti Roosevelt candidates, Alfred F. Smith, and the leader of Tammany Hall, John F. Curry, conferred al the Drake hotel to-day.
 They are rivals in Tammany but Smith is understood to be hoping he can hold Tammany off of tht Roosevelt bandwagon.

Dissatisfaction Spreads

Hoovers course already has spread
dissatisfaction among party leaders.
Most of the regular senators, as
we'll as the national committeeman,
favor a referendum as the most
expedient policy.
Such men as Majority Leader
James E. Watson OF Indiana, Sena-
tor Samuel NJ. Shortridge Cab.
and Senator Frederick Steiwer
(Ore)-all up for reelection
have adopted this strategy in the
face of growing sentiment for a
change.
For Hoover to make Borah his
chief adviser in the matter. and for
Brown 10 suggest "straddle' plank.
NAV make it hard for the senatorial
shifters TO square themselves with
dry constituents.
The Democrats are about the only
ones who find any comfort IN the
situation. Their aim is to be little
wetter than the Republicans, but at
no time have they felt it would be
safe to go further than pledging the
party 10 a referendum.
But II the Republicans content
themselves with generalization
that 1t Is no crime TO work for re-
peal. the Democrats course will be
an easy one.
With such an alignment on prohi-

will have an excellent chance OF
