EVENTFUL HUNT
 RETURNS JEWELS

Breckenridge, Tex - (U. P.) - After Il fve-months period, dur ing which 1t seemed many times that the trail was hopelessly lost, Louis Daiches. local jeweler, has finally received what he declares is the last of the jewels stolen from him by bandit on the morn- ing of November 9. 1891,
 The last installment came from Popularviile, Mass. in package containing 13 diamnd rings val ued at $2.O00.
 But 1t was not as easy as that sounds. The bandit robbed the store as clerk opened for bus mess. Local officers traced all leads. and seemed to have come to n standstill. Then a farm youth kicked over a coffee can on a PalO Pinto County farm and saw n $2.- 500 diamond ring and several ex- pensive wrist watches roll out.
 The can also contained an under shirt with the initials "J. W. w." It was the clue that finally led to recovery of the jewels. The bandit was identified and n Stephens County grand jury indicted him, but his whereabouts was unknown. There followed q bank raid in Louisiana, and man was shot down by officers, In the lining of his cap were found $2,000 in cash and 14 diamonds.
 Daiches made 6 trip to Missis- sippi, and, by paying for the bank robbers funeral, obtained the jew els, which he had identified as his own.

Smith and William q. McAdoo at Madisan Square Garden in 1924.
 The sensational statement was followed shortly by the announce ment that forces behind Franklin D. Roosevelt had decided to fight the two-thirds rule, the rule which requires that any nominee must obtain the vote of two thirds of the delegates.
 The Roosevelt forces apparently have the strength to force through such change in the rules and If they do, they have the delegates pledged or favorable that may nominate Roosevelt by @ majority vote.
 An assertion that Roosevelt "has no chance of winning" and that he could not carry q single state east of the Mississippi was calculated to stir comment among the dele gates, inject doubt about Roose- welt among any waverirg delega- tions, and solidify the opposition to him.
 The Hague announcement was intended as a warning to the west and south that New England and the industrial east would refuse Roosevelt their votes. It even con- tained the inference that eastern democratic leaders would with hold their support of the New York governor.
 Tt is only fair as the leader of the party in New Jersey" Hague said, Ito predict that if Roosevelt is nominated our state will be in the republican column"
 Tho statement pointedly listed every other candidate, including those considered to have only the remotest chances, as being prefer able to Roosevelt. It's bid for n sympathetic, united anti-Roosevelt front was apparent.
 It was uncertain whether other candidates had joined the Smith forces in plotting the attack, but their participation was doubtful.
 Among the Roosevelt packers, highly. confident 50 far that their protege was assured of nomina- ton, the effect of the Hague pro- nouncement was to inside a fight ing spirit and solidify their ranks.
 James J. Farley, Roosevelt'n manager, dismissed the offensive with this:
 "Governor Roosevet's friends have not come to Chicago to cry down, criticize or defame any democrat from any part of the country. This, believe. is suffi- cient answer to Mayor Haguc's statement"
 Senator Cordeil Hull of Ten nessee, one of the leading Roose- welt proponents, said:
 "I hope they continue to put statements like that. There hasn't been a candidate in 40 years with the support now behind Roose- welt"
 "It's the last screech of defeat" said Senator Dill of Washington.
 Rival candidates other than Smith were cautious.
 Robert B. Ennis of Baltimore, manager for Governor Ritchie. awaited his candidates arrival in Chicago later to-day.
 Governor Murray would not comment. {.
 The Garner spokesman wished to await word from the speaker in Washington.
 Senator Reed said he would not join in any concerted attack against any one candidate.
 Frank scofield, manager for Melvin A. Traylor. said he "quitc agreed" with Hague.
