a single delegate outside of hi

a single delegate outside of his
own state.
What probably will be the de-
cisive test will come April 26
when the former political partners,
Roosevelt and Alfred e. Smith,
fight it out in primaries in Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania.
Smiths showing thus far has
been disappointing to his friends,
though the only actual contest was
in New Hampshire. Roosevelt had
staked out his claims months in
advance. Smith allowed himself to
be rushed into a last-minute fight.
Massachusetts was one of the
two states outside the south that
Smith carried in 1928. He has the
powerful state organization behind
him. Roosevelt has chiefly an or
ganization thrown together by
Mayor Curley of Boston. Roose-
welt people expect to lose most of
the Massachusetts delegation. They
are more confident in Pennsyl-
vania.
Clear-cut Smith victories in
these two states would do much
toward saving the stop Roose-
welt movement" from the twilight
sleep which threatens it. Failure
by Smith in these two tests prob
ably would mark the end psyche
logically of the fight on Roose-
welt.
Tammany Hall is providing the
real dash of tobasco. Tammany
and Roosevelt appear to under
stand each other perfectly. There
is to be no endorsement of Roose-
welt by Tammany at this stage
when it might conceivably embar-
rass Roosevelt's roundup of dele
gates in the west.
Out there Tammany politicians
areas Tammany Boss John F.
Curry was told by middle west
ern newspaper correspondent here
this week-thought to wear horns.
Curry laughed heartily at that re-
mark, offered the young man a
fresh cigar, and explained that the
New York delegation of "a would
not decide which candidate. to sup
port until 1t arrived at Chicago for
the convention.
Roosevelt has done Tammanr
more favors than the public real
ICES. There is every indication at
the moment that Curry will throw
his organization behind Roosevelt
and walk out on John J. Raskob,
chairman of the democratic ma
itonal committee who, in spite of
all protestations to the contrary,
does not want Roosevelt nomin-
ated.
But like the good political boss
that he is, Curry will keep his
hand concealed until the last mo-
ment and let the speculation rage.

When the two forces combined
today the raid was made. No one

shipping out the finished product
called it "a day" and went home.
The fire in the furnace had been
banked. There was plenty of
coke in the basement of the build

for the necessary operations.
Big holes had been cut in the
floor of the building to extend
lengths of pipes. In small attic

There was but one stairway, lad

This afternoon members of the
local police department supervised
the dismantling of the still and the
destruction of the watts. A check-up
was also made at the City Hall to
learn the identity of the owner or
the persons paying the taxes. On
the front door of the Canal street
entrance a sign was in evidence

tiers of the American Trucking
Company, but as a matter Of fact

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, June 18.-
In quarters close to the big powers
associated in the conference on repara-
tons and war debts, it was said today
the European statesmen ere preparing
a final reparations settlement without
an American guarantee of cancellation
or revision of the war debts payments
due the United States.
Any notion of resolution proposing
to ask the Government at Washington
to cancel the war debts apparently has
been given up as likely to interfere with
the presidential election in the United
States.
The method under discussion, it was
said, is to cancel Germany's uncondi-
tional and conditional annuities under
the Young plan, to bond the German
railways for an undetermined amount
and then, without direct appeal to
the United States, to publish balance
sheets showing Germany unable to pay
her debts in the hope that American
opinion would draw favorable conclu-
sions therefrom.
If this procedure should be adopted
1t would mean that France would have
to give up its traditional claims and
discontinue resistance to scrapping the
Young plan without previous assurance
that America was willing to cooperate.
The idea of moratorium appears to
have receded since yesterdays provl-
~;o
about s48.o 900 in reparations re
served" for the duration of this con-
ference. Today there was some dis
cussion of another loan for Germany.

crisis in the United States under the
heading, "The United States on the

newspaper said:
Separation of the working masses

Moore. although elected as one Of

embroiled in any of the convention
