While 1t has been generally reported
that the New York delegation to the
national convention will split up
State" for Roosevelt and New York
City for Smith. 1t is believed that
this Is by no means certain. Edward
Of New York and q friend Of Gov
Roosevelt, is the Democratic leader in
the Bronx, and Roosevelt has much
support there and in Queens County.
The opposition to Roosevelt seems to
have Manhattan or New York County,
Brooklyn and Richmond In the greater
city, while upstate, the Democrats are
preponderantly for Roosevelt and so
far only four delegates in that section
are believed to favor Smith.
II Roosevelt Is the Democratic nomi-
nee for President. reports from Utah
indicate that Gov. George H. Dern of
that State may be considered for Vice
President. Gov Dern Is an ardent
Roosevelt supporter and has done much
in that part Of the country to stir up
Roosevelt sentiment.
Others to Make Bid.
But Gov. Dern is by no means
the only Democrat who will be knock
ing at the door and seeking the Sec
ond place on the national ticket If
Roosevelt is the presidential nominee.
Kentucky reports that Senator Alben
w. Barley, the temporary chairman
and keynote speaker Of the national
convention, will be brought forward
in that event. From Michigan comes
word that Mayor Frank Murphy Of
Detroit will make bid for the vice
presidency. He is a strong Roosevelt
man. Gov. White of Ohio Senator
Lewis of Illinois and former Governor
Byrd Of Virginia are among others who
may be considered it is reported.
Minnesota may be a pivotal State
in the coming election. Certainly it is
typical of the sentiment in the West
today. 1t Is the cradle Of the Farmer
Labor party, and the Farmer -Laborites
are threatening to support the Demo-
cratic ticket If Roosevelt Is nominated
That might mean the loss Of the State

None of the reports from the various
States indicates that at present there
Is any real belief that third party will

Sentiment in State Eliminates All

BY JULIAN HARRIS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA. Ga, May 28-Georgia
Democrats. in common with the vast
ma iority of Democrats in other South
ern States, regard as inevitable the
nomination Of Franklin D. Roosevelt by
their party.
Georgians are puzzled by talk that
Eastern Democratic leaders do not want
Roosevelt. The boys from the water
melon farms, the peanut patches and
the peach orchards do not understand
why an fastener acceptable to the re-
mainder of the country should not re-
ceive Eastern support.
First. Georgia and the South will not
again accept Alfred E. Smith or any
man suspected Of being under his inf1u-
ence or that Of Raskob or Shouse. Nor
will this section accept Melvin Traylor,

Mrs Thackery's will, will remain
in part as admitted In probate

In her will, Mrs Thackery de-
creed that Charles Curr, her en-
ployer during his life, was to have
the life use of the income from
her deposit In the Thomastan Saw
ings Bank and that upon his death
the hospital was to receive the
entire estate which totals about
$4,000.

appearing for Attorney John L.
Gaffney, executor Of the will, will
base his claim for upsetting the
verdict on the question of whether
tho two claimants are rightful
grand daughters OF the deceased.
His claim will be made on the
testimony of Bernard e. Carroll OF
Waterbury, title searcher for the
Waterbury Title Co who uncovered
interesting information concerning
the case.
Mr. Carroll testified that after
the deceased was married to her
husband, John Thackery In 1873,
the latter sent for his son who
was in England. When the son.
Henry Thackery came to this coun-
try he married one Mary Bates IN
1881, both giving their ages as 20.
This would indicate that John
Thackery had married before In
England. Mr. Carroll testified that

in a phrase. 1--WE are farther
ahead in some respects than we
were before the war started In that
we have our league Of nations. KEEL
logg- BRAND pact and other instru-
ments of peace, but we still need
to perfect these instruments and
learn the spirit of world brother
hood and cooperation in far
greater degree"

ter the contest caused by Herbert H.

that should include dropping Of the
Lehman candidacy, and casting every
thing to the winds In an outright
