HYDE PARK, N. Y, January "A
couple Of old friends-Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, outstanding as a possibility
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation this year, and Frank Murphy,
youthful mayor Of Detroit mentioned
in that city as a likely vice presidential
entry-converSed at luncheon in the
Governors snow-mantled home today.
Both sidestepped inquiries as to
whether the conversation included a
discussion Of the national political stu
alton.
1T was Just a friendly visit and
many things were talked about" was
the Governors description of the occa-
sion.
What's the situation in Michigan?
How about sentiment out there for a
Democratic noninee?" Mr.. Murphy was
asked.
Il think It is understood how much
! admire the Governor" was the reply.
Returns to Detroit.
After an afternoon with the Cover
nor, Murphy returned to New York to

II was understood that the conversa-
ton between Roosevelt and Murphy
turned to the unemployment situation,
in the relief Of which both have taken
an active part in their own bailiWlcKs.
Murphy swept into offlce two years ago
on a platform that featured relief for
the idle of the great motor city, has
devoted much of his attention to
remedying unemployment conditions IN
that city.
Gov. Roosevelt's State relief plan, in
cluding a S20,000,000 appropriation,
was the first to be advanced by any
State. It, like the Murphy plan, called
for the use Of public funds for the
purchase of food, clothing and shelter
for those out Of work.
It was recalled today that Mayor
Murphy last Summer called upon GOV
Roosevelt at the capitol in Albany. Al
that time he remarked that Mr.. Roose-
welt was a most available nominee Tor
the presidency.
Arrives in snowstorm.
Mr.. Murphy arrived today at Pough-
keepsie, nearest rail point to HYDE
Park, in the midst of snowstorm that
crippled traffic and delayed the lunch
con appointment at Crum Elbow, the
Governors estate.
There were other guests at the Roose-
welt home, but they were not inter
ested in the conversation that engaged
the executives. They were young
friends of the Roosevelt children and
grandchildren. They were much more
interested in getting out In the frst
measurable snowfall OF the WINTER.
Michigan gained a distinctive place
L. YNintt1ra urhe0 Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress last year
snatched q seat that generally had
been occupied by Republican. This,
coming after Murphy's Democratic
victory in Detroit, brought the State
into Democratic considerations. Detroit
generally has been administered by
Republican and the congressional dele
CATION was selidly Republican until
Michael J. Hart won from Foss Q.
Eldred last November.
Gov. Roosevelt, with his legislative
message completed and other routine
matters preparatory to the opening OF
the Legislature out of the way, returns
to Albany tomorrow to face the per-
picking problem involving the shern
of New York
Decides Farley Issue.
Samuel Seabury, counsel for the Hof-
StadteT Committee, soTutinlging ram
many conduct, asked the removal OF
Sheriff Thomas Farley, leading brave
of the Tammany wigWam, Farley, be-
fore the committee, did not satisfac-
torily explain additions to his bank
account
The TammAny business repeatedly
has bobbed up at Albany, each time
emphasizing Mr.. Roosevelt's relations
with the Democratic organization in
New York Possibility of q break with
Tammany and its effect upon Mr.
Roosevelt's chances to win the presi-
Dental nomination always has been
the focal point of all speculation. And
so it is in the Farley incident.
The Farley evidence and letter
from Mr.. Seabury were received at
Albany last week and referred by the
Governor to Samuel RoSenman, his
counsel. 1t was indicated the Cover
nors answer would be ready this week.
