BRIDGE STATUARY
ENCOUNTERS DELAY
Equestrian Groups Must Wait
Several Years, Due to
Budget Estimates.

The equestrian groups of statuary,
designed to be placed at the Washing
ton entrance to the Arlington Memorial
Bridge must wait for some years longer
before being set up in full size, al
though the artists who are producing
the models for them are now to get
additional compensation.
This developed yesterday following
study of the Budget Bureau estimates,
now pending before the House Appro-
priaticns Committee, for insertion in
in the independent offices supply bill.
and the proposals for the next fiscal
year show that Constitution avenue is
to be widened in the vicinity of Penn
sylvania avenue, but funds are lacking
to do the work in the region of the
Lincoln Memorial
100000 Program.
With the 100000 set down by the
Bureau of the Budget as the next fis-
cal years allowance for the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission, officials
hope to improve the monumental en-
trance. now under construction at the
east wall of Arlington National Gene
terry; to make payments to the artists
for their models Of the equestrian
groups, and give additional treatment
to the unccmpleted portion of the Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway approach
The estimates contemplate eXpendi-
turc Of S55.200 for widening COnStitu-
ton avenue. The Federal Government
pays 40 per cent Of this cost, with the
60 per cent portion being borne by
the District Of Columbia.
Officials anticipate that if Congress
and the President place THEN stamp Of
approval on the Bureau Of the Budget
estimates. they will be able to widen
Constitution avenue to 73 feet between
North Capitol and First streets Be
tween First and Second streets and
also from Pennsylvania avenue to Sixth
street width Of 80 feet will be Gre
ated Under the District government
estimates, an item of S82.1O0 is set
down as the Districts share of the
Constitution avenue improvement.
Plan Storage Space.
With the s25.OOO estimated for work
around the Washington terminal of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge, officials ex-
pect to build. beneath the sloping
driveway that leads up to the Lincoln
Memorial Plaza, storage space for park
equipment The sum of $4,000 is al
lowed for maintenance. to take care of
landslides and other unforeseen occur
rences
The estimates show SOS 900 for en-
ployes. with provision being made for
contingent expenses, architects fees,
etc. The Federal funds are carried in |
the independent Offices bill. while the !
Districts share of the Constitution
avenue improvement is carried in the |
municipalities supply bill.

Conn. Stuck To Al
 Smith From Start
(Continued from Page D

However, the state convention gave Governor Wilbur l.. Cross the right to recommend to the state delegation at Chicago his choices for national committeeman and woman. So far the governor has not taken any action along this lin eand both the men and women of the delegation are now fearing that he will let the matter slide so that the selection of the Connecti- cut representatives on the nation al committee will be left to the national committee itself.
 As for the male memDer of the national cimmittee. ex-Mayor Da- vid E. Fitzgerald of New Haven and National Committeeman Arch ibald McNeil have reached an agreement. It has not been formally approved by the governor. It calls for the election of Cx-Mayor Fitz- gerald as national committeeman in the event that anybody but Gov ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York is nominated. In the event of a Roosevelt nomination, Mir McNeil is to be elected. Me- Neil and Fitzgerald plan to en- force this agreement over the gov ernor's head even though the lat aer objects. But some sight has been lost of the post to be held by a woman from Connecticut. Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch of Columbia has been the outstanding candidate. But it appears that she will not now be considered by either the Roosevelt or Smith factions in Connectucut. Reports here today were to the effect that either Mrs Anna De- laney of Meriden or Ethel Dona- hue of Hartford will be considered for the post. However. the New Guard" Is understood to be ready to carry their fight to the floor, as far aa Mrs Welch's svnuorters are

concerned, in order to gain victory for the Columbia woman. She, 1t Is understood, resents being left out in the cold" and has muster ed considerable strength.
 Waterbury's delegates to the na- tional convention, however. are not favorable to Mrs Welch and are ready to vote agains ther when the opportunity presents itself.
 Connecticut's delegation contin- ued to vote for ex-Governor Smith through last night and. up until the close of the third ballot this morn Ing. Waterbury's delegates stood solidly behind Smith. It is expected that they will continue to vote this way when the convention recon yenes tonight and until released and instructed otherwise by the former New York governor.
 Governor Cross has been decided ly active on the floor of the conven- ton. He attempted to visit ex-Gov- ernor Harry Flood Byrd of Virgin la and Governor William ".Alfal- ia" Murray of Oklahoma but was unsuccessful.
 At the headquarters of Melvin A Traylor he was heartily received and the proposition was made that he run as president on the Traylor. presidential ticket in the event of the latter's nomination Governor Cross did not commit himself.

She drew cheers and Texas, New ter. sey. Arkansas, Virginia. and Iowa delegates.
 At 3:38 acting Chairman Bark ley called for order. The Murra, demonstration had lasted IA min utes, the first conducted withou aid of the convention organ. Mrs George A. Waters. Granite l Okla, seconded the Murray nomin | ation.

It was a hectic 12-hour session from o'clock last night. And the night session had followed only 6 three-hour intermission of the day meeting which ran from noon yes terday to 6 o'clock last night. The day and evening sessions witnessed adoption of the democratic plat form with it's wringing wet plank and placing in nomination of nine candidates to the accompaniment of much oratory and dcmonstra- ton.
 The first and second ballots dragged along. slowed down by necessity for polling several indi- vidual delegations, but the third ran more expeditiously even though some delegations had to be rechecked at the end of the call since they had passed on the first time through.
 The third ballot ended, the con- vention adjourned at to recon vene at 8:30 tonight.
 Meantime. Roosevelt folks con- tinued work to sway some large block of votes as a start for q bandwagon rush. It was hard go- ing admittedly but they said they believed they would prevail. Mean time, the antis were likewise busy, trying to lure waverers to their cause.
 It was a colorful night. Bands, pipe organ, pretty women, flags flying and noise bursting! Heat, swelter. Back room conferences. trhav tho ho oflofinp
 The third ballot appeared fairly crucial but it did not radically alter the situation.
 There was intense activity on the floor as the third ballot pro- gressed. Mississippi. which has strength for Newton D. Baker. passed and went into a, huddle. Senator Hubert Stephens suggest ed the delegates be left to them selves if Roosevelt begins to lose.
 As the Mlssissippians discussed the situation, Texas delegate came over and pleaded with them flor Gods sake" to hold the Roose- welt line q little longer as they might expect some help from Tex as after two or three more ballots.
 One of the Roosevelt lieutenants approached Governor Byrd of Vir- ginia and appealed to him to be patriotic and throw his support to the New York governor so the party might nominate quickly and not lose the advantage already 7 gained by their united front.
 The Garner die-hards in Texas were bolstercd by the accession of X II votes on the third ballot from : Oklahoma.

(Continued from Page D positively denied any such action.
 Hague's statement preceded Smiths and openly revealed the bitterness of the fight between the two New York state leaders. It said:
 Nothing could be more calcu- lated to reveal the dismay which has taken possession of the Frank lin D. Roosevelt forces"
 "Of course, MT Smith Is not go- ing to efface himself and abandon those loyal supporters who have been insistently pressing his can didacy from the start. He is in the contest to stayf and what is more he confidently expects to be the nominee of the convention"
 Smith commented on newspaper articles which appeared yesterday indicating he was about to with draw his candidacy. Nothing could be further from the truth" he said.
 T have spent large part of my public career with newspa permen," Smith declared. "I found them al- ways fair. l wish could say as much for the adherents of one of the candidates"
 Mayor Hague wasted no words in making plain that he held the Roosevelt forces responsible for the rumors. Why are these Roosevelt people trying to make 1t appear that Smith will step out?" he ask ed.
 The answer is plain. They want to create the impression that the chief figure in the barrier which has been raised against Roosevelt s nomination is reluctantly convinced that Roosevelt's nomination is in- evitable."
 Hague attacked Farley's claims regarding Roosevelt's strength among the delegations.
 Every delegate in Chicago" he said, If he tells the truth will ad- init that Roosevelt has the fewest friends in the convention. There are many reasons for this. The main one Is that there has been a grow. ing belief in the convention that Roosevelt's nomination would be political folly. in view of his cer. tain defeat which would follow ir November.
 Tine whole country is familiar with the attitude of wiggle and wobble which has characterized Roosevelt's stand with respect tc vital questions before the conven. tion."
