VOTES CLAIMED

Although conceding that Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt will have
an imposing number of delegates
on the first ballot in the Chi.
cago conyention-certainly more
than any other single candidate
the Roosevelt opposition was
disposed to pooh-pooh today the
exuberant claims of his managers
Of a first ballot nomination.
Such a claim was advanced
here yesterday by Homer S. Cum
mings, one of the captains of the
Roosevelt board of strategy. He
said the New York governor al
ready has $50 delegates lined up.
as against the ITO which conSti-
tute the tWo-thirds necessary to
nominate.
Cummings did not specify the
States from which these delegates
are coming other than to say
there are IS of them. He was elo-
quently silent about the large
delegations from New York, Penn
sylvania, illinois, Ohio, Texas,
and New Jersey, where the bulk
of the Roosevelt opposition Is
concentrated, and which will have
a dominant voice in the conven"
ton.
First ballot leaders do not al.
ways win conventions. William G.
McAdoo, who with AL Smith
staged the most spectacular con-
vention fight in history at Madi-
son Square Garden in 1924,
rather ruefully recalled that fact

His flight was undertaken secret
ly as emisSary of the group of
prospectors who will follow him,
if he sends back word at the end
of his course that their hopes of
almost fabulous wealth are based
on reality.

sasFNduELA Portuguese West Africa,
November 17-Amy Johnson, the dar-
ing British woman flyer, who is trying
to beat the record of her husband,
j. A. Mollison, from London to Cape
town, landed here today well ahead OF
schedule and took of for MoSsamedes,
200 miles down the coast.
When Miss johnson set her trim
nronoplane down in this port town, she
was only 70 hours out OF London and
had but 1900 miles to go.
Thus she had at least 81 hours and
10 minutes left in which to tie Molli-
sons record of 4 days II hours ana
10 minutes.
TURNS Back for Landing.
aAdiss johnson passed Benguela at
h1gh speed before dawn, but later re-
aspeared and lan6ed at 7:10 am.
eAirmen here said they considered
Miss johnson well ahead of her sched-
iIle. They said she had an excellent
chance to beat the record because the
mast difhcult part Of the journey was
behind her.
The premier woman flyer OF Eng
land hoped of early Monday from
London for the 6,200-nlile journey to
Capetown. She landed at Oran, Al
e5Tia, and streaked out across the great
Sahara Just before midnight Monday
Desert Crossing Success.
Miss johnson successfully crossed the
dssert Tuesday, alighting at Gao, on
the upper Niger, in French West Africa,
at 1910 pm. that day. She rested
ustil yesterday morning and took of
for Duala, on the Gulf Of Guinea.
Whether she stopped at Duala or at
some other coast city was not known,
but she probably did, because the dis
tance from Gao to Benguela is about
2yeG0 miles, rather too far distance for
a single hop.
The London-to-Oran hop vas 1,1o0
miles, Oran to Gao 1900, Gao to Duala
LIDO and Duala to Benguela 1900,
leaving a single 1,500-mile stretch to
Capetown.
1t was apparent that the success OF
her assault on the record depended on
the condition of her plane and hes own
physical stamina.

against prohibition has become so wide
spread even dry politicians are begin

The ranks Of the drys are crumbling

even Bishop Cannon is beginning to see
the futility of opposing further a Ma
tion-wide demand for referendum on
the prohibition question"
He referred to the Jefferson day pro-
posal by former Gov. Harry F. Byrd of
Virginia for submitting the question to
the people, saying 1t means that every
serious Democratic presidential possibil-
ity now favors giving the American peo-
pie an opportunity to go on record as
to whether or not they want Washing
