Campaign Committee. who returned
TODAY from New York, declared that
fair skies were shining on the Demo-

THE political situation in New York
State is clearing UP for the Demo
Gratis rapidly" said Senator Swanson
IT have no doubt that Gov. Roosevelt
will win the At electoral votes of that
State. He will poll larger upstate
vote than any other Democratic can
didate for President and the democracy
in New York City will get behind him
solidly.''

That Alfred E. Smith would support
the Democratic ticket effectively was
the opinion expressed by Senator

with MIR. Smith while in New York,
but that he had been in contact with
many of the Democratic leaders.
The Virginia Senator will return to

Pat Harrison of Mississippi. They Will
act in an advisory capacity.
II have no doubt whatever" Senator

enough new Democratic Senators to
give us a majority in the Senate. Re
ports from the West show that sentl-
n1ent is strongly Democratic in the ma
uonal and congressional elections.
Buckley Chances Held Good.
In Ohio, Senator Swanson said, Sem
ator Buckley, Democrat. seeking re-
election, had decidedly the better
chance for victory. He predicted that
the Democratic would win number OF
additional Senate seats in States fur
ther West. Ths Democratic leader be-
lieves they havs excellent chances IN

May Be Amnesia Victim.

Meanwhile, prohibition officials at
Washington, aiding in the hunt, we're
holding to their previously expressed
belief in two other theories. They
thought Robins, who disappeared while
on his way to visit President Hoover,
was either the victim of amresia or
that Russian Czarists were responsible
for his disappearance.
The colonel was reported to have been
active recently in seeking recognition
by the United States of Soviet Russia.
AS result, he was reported to have
received threats from Russian Imperial
lists. This angle was being followed in
the investigation in New York.
Search for Robins in the Chicago
area was intensified yesterday when
three residents O. suburban Blue Island
reported seeing man there Friday who,
they said, answered published descrip-
tions. Chicago friends of the colonel
we're not inclined to accept their iden-
tiication.
His reported presence in Blue Island
followed, however, the statements OF
two of his acquaintance that they had
seen him in the loop in Chicago after
he had left his home at Southwest Har-
Dor, Me, but before information Of his
failure to keep an appointment with
President Hoover became known.
Interest in the theory that bootleggers
in fernando County, Fla, against whom
Robins had at one time been active,
had something to do with the mystery,
was revived when an informer told a
special prohibition agent that he had
overheard men connected with the Flor
ida conspiracy talking about Robins a
short while before his disappearance.
Mrs. Ruth Corey, her daughter-ln-
law, and a neighbor, Fred Fouts, notl-
fed authorities they saw a man re-
sembling newspaper pictures II ROBINS

Harold Ickes, close friend Of Robins,
