The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-27

the time will be fixed soon. Far ley said 1t would be sometime af- ter President Hoover's acceptance address on August II, but before August 27 when Roosevelt is to speak at Sea Girt, N. J.
 Farley expressed confidence that the feud between Roosevelt and AL fred E. Smith would be healed. He hinted that Smith himself might take an active part in the cam paign to assure Roosevelt the votes of the huge Smith following in New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
 The conferees felt that Roosevelt should not make an extended tour of the country, but confine himself mostly to speeches in the east, in- terspersed with national radio ad- dresses. Farley said Roosevelt had not finally decided on his program,
 but he indicated the governor probably would cancel his proposed trip to the west coast.
 In some of the dry southern states, economic issues rather. than prohibition will be emphasized, a majority of the democratic con- gressiona1 leaders agreed. Some democratic congressman in those areas plan virtually to ignore the party's platform calling for prompt modification of the Volstead act and repeal of the 18th amendment.
 There were sharp disputes as to how much the prohibition question should be soft-pedaled, but Farley expressed the view that these dlf- ferences would cause little trouble under. the general campaign plan of leaving state managers to adopt the tactics best-suited. to their re- gions. X s \
 Albany, N. Y., July 27.-(UP)- Governor Joseph B. Ely of Massa- chusetts will decide whether to flop bag and baggage into the democratic presidential camp of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, af- ter comforting to-day with the man he fought at Chicago. <
 Ely, chief lieutenant of Alfred E. Smith in his unsuccessful effort to head off Roosevelt's drive for the nomination at the democratic national convention, was to have luncheon and discuss politics with the nominee.
 Observers believe Ely will admit nothing is to be gained by remain ing aloof while others who opposed Roosevelt flock to the banner of the New Yorker.
 They feel that the Massa chusetts executive will endorse the stand his party took at Chicago in select ing Roosevelt. Some even go so far as to predict pledge of whole- hearted cooperation in the cam paign.
 Support of Ely will mean, that Roosevelt probably would obtain votes of the bulk of the faction Ely controls in his home state, placing the democratic nominee in far more strategic position than he now enjoys. . Tn the even Ely decides Roose- welt is acceptable to him, it will mark another campaign victory for James A. Farley, democratic national chairman, who arranged the meeting between the two last week, immediately after extending the olive branch to Nv Jrsy demo- crats.
 q expect Joe Ely for luncheon ? Roosevelt said. .If he comes alone we will dine at my offices in the capitol. If Mrs Ely is with him, however, we will have luncheon in the executive mansion"
 Roosevelt was pleased over fav- orable reports by U. 8. Senator Key Pittman of Nevada. who predicted the entire west would support him. Pittman asserted that California went for President Wilson in 1916 and 1t is an even chance but 1t will go for Governor Roosevelt this
 Roosevelt smiled when informed of Pittman's views.
 "Senator Pittman has not been here, long enough to be q radical he exclaimed.
