Albany, N. r., Oct 5.-UP)- Alfred E. Smith, grinning, fighting, and happy, shook hands with Franklin D. Roosevelt last night, urged his election as president, and dramticaly ended personal feud that also may reunite party factions in New England and else- where before November 8.
 It was a moment of high drama for delegates to the state demo- craGc convention, and for the two New York democratic leaders, when they met for the first time since Smith returned from the Chi cago national convention, defeated for the presidential nomination by his former campaign manager.
 The two men had been battling for two days in behalf of a mutual friend, Colonel Herman H. Leh- man. the lieutenant governor they wished to make governor. They were fighting a common enemy to their cause, John F. Curry, boss of Tammany Hall, Curry wanted to give the nomination to John Boyd Thacher.
 The governor was seated on the platform, just returned from a campaign tour in the west. Smith came to the platform to make the speech placing Lehman in nomina- ton.
 "The happy worrier," happy once more, grinned, stepped across the platform, extended his hand to the governor, shook it vigorous ly, and spoke so all in the front seats could hear:
 "How are you. you old potato, a characteristic affectionate greet ing the 1928 candidate {saves for old friends.
 The crowd roared. The cheer ing, stamping. and whistling con- tinued 10 minutes. The two men stood still. ..
 "Al, this is from the heart" Roosevelt offered. ..
 Frank, that goes for me too"
 The cameramen's flashlights boomed.
 Smith began his speech. He ar raigned President Hoover and the administration. He called for elec- ton of the national democratic ticket" and he urged harmony for "a democratic victory in Novem- ber."
 And he turned toward Roosevelt

immense IOliOWlng he nau acQulFeu in the years of his campaign, good fellowship and general sociability. Bob" played the game 365 days of the year. He was admired for his loyalty to friends. He was es- teemed for his interest and patron. age of social events, fraternal gatherings, church events, athletics and other form of sociabiiity. He was a free and generous contribu. tor to all. He was the ever smil- servant and his success as polit- ical leader might be traced to these facts.
 His political career built upon good Fellowship and the efficiency of his office extended through the administrations of Mayor William B. Hotchkiss, Mayor Francis T. Reeves, Mayor Martin Scully and Mayor William H. Sandland.
 When the republican, ticket went down to defeat in the fall of 1921 it carried with it the veteran cam paigner, Bob" Palmer. It is a COG incidence that. his assistant, Miss Dora Egan,r democrat, succeeded him and Is now rounding out a term of service, six successive terms, that equals the record of tho deceased. His essay at political comeback resulted in failure.
 Bob" Palmer carried. back into private life many happy acquaint- ances, but as he became absorbed in his personal business. his inter- est in active politics faded and his prominence as city official be- came a memory that was undoubt- edly cherished by hundreds, ire spective of party affiliations.
 The deceased was born in Ame- mia. Duchess county, New York on February 24, 1870. He was one of ten children. His father was q veteran of the Civil war and resi- dent of Canaan, Conn, for many years. The Palmer family moved into this state and established their home at Sharon when the de- ceased was but two years of age.
 At the age of 13 the future town clerk of Waterbury worked for his board and attended school in Burr vile. He was graduated from the Stockbridge high school at the age of IS. Even as high school stu dent he was obliged to devote what was leisure time for other young sters to peddling milk morning and night. After spending year on a ranch in Dakota he returned to Connecticut in 1889 and obtained employment on a farm in Cornwall. He came to Waterbury in 1891 and entered the employ of the American Ring company. His diligence and efficiency qualified him for several positions of responsibility. He was foreman of the packing and ship ping department when he resigned to. enter the old city hall as town

ald said he went over the fence surrounding the Dumas home to release small white dog who had become enmeshed in the wire. AS he stopped to remove the smaller dog, the police dog, Donald said. leaped at him and pushing his head through the wire, snapped at his hand.
 Donald's father, Laurence said he saw the whole scene from the window of his home. Donald had been sliding, that day. The white dog had been grabbed by the po- lice dog and given thorough shaking before being released. While he was trying to extricate himself from the wire, Donald came upon the scene,1 having heard the smaller dogs cries.
 Attorney William B. Fitzgerald appearing for Donald requested MT Weisman to bring in the dog who had been kept in the cloak room during the trial. The large ani- mal was brought in and after be- ing identified by Donald from the stand, he was brought back again.
 Attorney Weisman later this afternoon will attempt to show the court that the dogs head Is too large to be thrust through the wire fence, a portion of which is in the defendants possession. MT Weisman also stated that he in- tends to show that the dog is not ferocious or vicious. Judge Edward J. Finn presided.

Governor Refused
 President Hoover
tcontinued from Page l)

Congress seemingly is inflexibly against cancellation and almost equally set against further post ponements. Speaker Garner, the silent presidential candidate thus emerges as one of the domin- ating influences in the situation. The speaker was at President elect Roosevelt's elbow most of 1.-the time here. He told Roosevelt emphatically that congress would oppose any weakening on debts. They, rode from Baltimore to Washington together. Garner re- joined Roosevelt immediately after the White House conference. He went along when Roosevelt at- tended a dinner at the National Press club. They went back to the Mayflower hotel together and Garner remained while democra- tic congresmen and senators dis cussed debts, extra session, and other questions until midnight.
 President Hoover, it was said, argued earnestly with President elect Roosevelt. He described the European situation in gloomy terms, it was said. Apparently Mir Hoover, while favoring rejection of . the plea for postp0nement of the December Is payments, felt strong ly that the debt funding commits sion should be set up to consider the effect of changed economic conditions in the capacity of the various debtors to pay.
 It was the strangest conference in White House history. No presi- dent and president-elect ever be- fore sat down together to discuss u common problem. Presidents have almost never used the formal red room, parlor used regularly for social purposes, as place for a serious discussion.
 MT Hoover sat in a chair in the center of the room. His recently elected successor and the two ex- perts, Secretary of Treasury Mills and Prof Raymond MOley, sat in Q semi-circle opposite. No one brought a portfolio. MT Hoover, it was said, drew geometrical fig ures on a piece of scrap paper while the discussion went on in . matter of fact vein.
 It was dark when the White House limousine drove President elect Roosevelt out through the southeast gate of the White House and over to the Mayflower hotel. There he nibbled at cinnamon toast and slipped tea as he talked with democratic leaders.
 Changing into a dinner suit, Gov Roosevelt went to the National Press club for dinner. He spoke briefly "off the record"
 At the Mayflower the democra- tic senators and congresmen were waiting when he returned about II D. m. They talked until n1id- night. Those present included:
 Speaker Garner, Senators Thom- as, Okla; Ashurst, Ariz; Costigan, Colo; Swanson, Va; Mcclellan, Tenn and George, Ga; and Rep Collier. chairman of the ways and means committee; McDuffie, Ala; Rainey, democratic floor leader; Ragon, Ark; vinson, ky, and Bulwinkle. N. c.

 Congressman E. w. Goss was saisted as contributing $20 but. of Course, he contributed various amounts, in addition, to the g. o. D.. cluhs throughout the city, hence #<he small contribution credited to shim in the report.

 Bob" Palmer was in many re, spects a remarkable figure in local politics. He played the game with rare enthusiasm and delighted in campaigning. His many fraternal contacts, which included at one time membership in the vEiks Knights of Pythias, Moose, Forest CTS. Woodmen of the World. Eagles, the New England Order Oi Protection, Knights of Golden Eagle, South and Social Club and several rod and gun clubs. made him familiar and popular fig ure at various gatherings. It also explained why time ands again hundreds, while loyal democrats split their tickets to give Bob Palmer, a republican, a vote. In 1915 he ran more than $500 votes ahead of his ticket and two years later was returned to his office by a majority of 1,429 votes. His suc- cess could not be attributed to the weakness of his democratic oppo- nent, but as an indication of the

This was the story behind the cryptic communique issued at the White House after the Hoover Roosevelt two-hour session in the red room ended. The communique said:
 "rhe president and Gov Roose- welt traversed at length the sub- jects mentioned in their telegra- phic communication. It is felt that progress has been made. The president confers with the mem- bers of congress tomorrow when the subject will be further pur- sued"

 We were all agreed. the presi- dent included Rainey declared, "that there should be no further revision or cancellation of war debts and that the December pay ments must be met in full" Harrison was positive in his as- sertion that the democratic leaders at the conference were opposed to recreation of the debt funding commission or to any other conces- sions on the foreign obligations.
