NOMINATION
Rift Between Roosevelt, Smith
Seen as Furthering Their
Candidates Chances

The possibility that Gov. AL
bert G. Ritchie may receive the
De ocratic nomination for
President has been materially
increased since the recent an
nouncement of Alfred E. Smith
that he is willing to accept the
nomination if it is offered him,
according to Maryland's con-
gressional delegation.
Representative Vincent L. Palm
isano Cd, of Baltimore, indicated
that many Ritchie supporters be-
lieved that the rift between Smith
and Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
of New York, would enhance the
chances of the governor Of the
Old Line State.
Maryland's entire congressional
delegation Is ready to further
Ritchie'S cause, it is said. Further.
more, they are so confident Of his
victory that few Of them have
so much as considered a second
choice, one Representative de-
clared.

him. He was hard at work at
the job of finding transporta-
ton back to America for them,
conscientiously striving for a
program that would cost our
government the least amount
of money. He had worked out
a plan whereby most of these
chaps would be sent on their
way. Only three of the lot
remained to be cared for. "One
of them" Harris earnestly told

before ha~d a rather disilluslon-

such a good sport that I made

stranded sailors off his hands

animals, reptiles and birds and

to get me to ship his marooned

seemed confident that the chap
would make a good general

Harris arranged for me to
meet his seafaring animal fan.
I was agreeably surprised. The
man, q fairly preSentable specl-
men actually seemed enthuSi-
astic about animals in an intelli-

something about them and acted
as if he would write down his
destiny as unfulfilled unless
promptly set to work looking
after my collection.
The fellow-we'll call him Bill
because that was his name
was delighted when I decided TO
take him on as a workaWay,
as suggested by my consular
friend.
The afternoon we sailed from
Singapore Bill proved of great
help. Our job was to get my
specimens loaded and Temporal
lily placed on the main cargo
deck of the freighter on which
we were shipping. Then on the
next day we would put every
cage and crate in its proper
place. Bill worked like a de-
mon, performing his duties with
more enthusiasm than any as
sistant of mine had ever dis
played. He did things quickly
and properly, making comments
as he worked that showed an
even keener knowledge Of ami
mails than he had displayed IN
our first meeting. Here vas a
