 5000 according to his report filed this week with the clerk of the house.
 Democrats are expected to sub- init their report any day now.
 Some political experts here sug- gested that possibly considerable sums will be contributed directly to state committees in doubtful territory such as Illinois, Ohio, In- diana, Missouri and New York in which case no record would show on the national committee books.
 In any event it is certain that the fancy figures of the past will not be reached. The first list of national committee contributors covering June, July and August shows practically none of the big names hitherto credited for amounts in four figures or more. Some fairly prominent names have $50 beside them.
 One heroic entry is recorded from Arkansas. Russell D. Leas, treasurer of the Arkansas state re- publican committee, turned in a $5,000 contribution which he had raised. It is as much as the new millionaire secretary of commerce gave.
 Of the $76,000 collected, about $G3,000 is accounted for by con- tribuuons of less than forty men. Of these Nuts friends and busi- ness associates account for nearly $20,000. He gave $6,000. He has numerous fellow directors or busi- ness friends in the Union Trust company of Cleveland, the Van Sweringen rail interests, White Motors, and public utilities who have clipped into help him.
 Members of the accounting firm of Ernst and Ernst gave $5,000.
 Aside from these and scattered individual items, the bulk of the remainder came from federal party office holders

Ever since last April, when he began a coast-to-coast battle to swing pre- convention primaries in his dads favor, Jim has fought relentlessly along the political frontiers, sand wiching his insurance business be- tween stump speeches.
 Young and athletic, he with stood the rigors of the campaign, averaging only about six hours sleep nightly, until last evening, when he was stricken i'll abroad a train enroute to a democratic rally at Brewer, Me.

fast friends. Robins campaigned for his friend later, and was en- gagged in the campaign to re-elect him when he vanished.
 As a boy he had worked in the coal fields of Tennessee. He rode the rods" to Colorado where work ing hours were shorter. He pros pected for phosphate in Florida, and asphalt in Oklahoma, studied law in Florida and Washington, D. C.
 The gold rush on the Yukon drew him to Alaska, where he did welfare work and a little gold min- ing on the side. He made a lucky strike which was the source of q small fortune.
 Robins returned to Chicago and resumed welfare work there, founding the municipal lodging house, serving on the board of ed- ucation, and leading the linen and religion forward movement" in 1911.
 The forceful orator joined the progressive party cause, went down in defeat with the bull moose party after serving as Its perma- nent chairman in 1916, then cam paigned for Charles Evans Hughes. He has been member of the re- publican national committee.
 "I was on the progressive ship when she left the harbor and went down, and if she were still afioat, I still would be on her," he once told 8 congressional commit tee.
 In later years, the missing cam paigner had. visited most colleges and universities as a leader of the national Christian evangelistic so- cial program. In 1923 he cam- paigned in Europe to outlaw war" '- "Colonel Robins was thorough ly successful in getting higher type of men into office," Graham Taylor, head of Chicago commons, said of him. "He was prominent in the election of William E. Dever as mayor over the underworld op- position years ago. ',-.'
 "I heard from him only a few nation- wide tour on behalf of the 18th amendment.
 The ,coloners political activity in Brooksville, Fla, his friends here feared, might. be responsible for his disappearance. He cam paigned there as he di din Chicago --against what he thought were the forces of corruption and bad government" :.
 Three violent deaths were re- ported in that county within recent months, all of which involved rum running or politicians, or, the po- litical campaign in which Robins participated.

city. The latter, 1t is reported, has worried about q strong democratic majority being given in Waterbury in the event of Controller Leary's nomination. The turn-down given Waterbury by the state convention was believed by the local republi- cans as an indication that the Goss vote here will be larger than 1t would have been in the event of Leary's nomination.
 The Democrats final edition of 5 o'clock last night announced the withdrawal of Controller Leary. His withdrawal of course, was preceded by the nomination or Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford for U.(S. senator and of Representative William M. Cit- ron of Middletown for congress- man at large. Governor Cross nomination was deferred until the selection of the rest of the ticket and following the withdrawal of Controller Leary the Waterbury delegates withdrew, followed by most of the other "old guard" del. egates present. The nomination of the remainder of the ticket was without contest with Mayor Joseph Dutton of Bristol withdrawing as a candidate for secretary of state in conjunction with the move by Con- troller Leary.
