TAMMANY HOLDS

Some Members Say Curry
Delegates May Swing
Roosevelt Nomination.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. June 27.-The Tammany
Tiger stalked into Chicago yesterday
and began to ponder which presidential
candidate it will trail. Soon after the
six special trains had brought Tam
many and the New York delegation TO
town, the organizations leader, John F.
Curry. went into a long. secret confer
ence with Melvin Traylor, who will
have many of the Illinois delegations
votes for the presidential nomination.
Neither Curry nor Traylor would dis
close the purpose or the result OF the
meeting.
Later the New York delegation went
into a caucus to thrash out the queS-
ton of what to do with its "a votes.
Cermak May Follow.
The Traylor-Curry conference stirred
immediate interest.
Mayor Anton Cermak Of Chicago,
following the withdrawal OF Senator
James Hamilton Lewis yesterday, said
an unofficial poll of his upstate Hi
nois delegation revealed majority IN
favor of voting for Traylor on the flrst
ballot
Later Tammany leaders said the
Cermak delegates undoubtedly would
follow the lead of the New York City
organization.
Opinion within the Tsmmany camp
itself varied as to what that lead would
be, and Curry remained silent. lending
weight to none of the speculations.
Former Mayor John Hylan OF New
York City, who conferred with Curry
and John H. McCooey, Brooklyn Demo-
cratic leader, declared the Roosevelt
forces had no cause to worry about
where the 40 to so votes Curry con-
trols will go.
Others who came from Tammany
headquarters expressed an opinion that
If the New York Governor needed no
more than the number of votes Curry
has to win the nomination, he would
receive the support Of the organization.
From other sources came word that
the names of Newton D. Baker and
Gov. Albert C. Ritchie had been In
jected frequently into the talk OF the
New York City leaders.

BY BRUCE CATION

THE state of Iowa has been
i rather less than fortunate in
her literary children. Most of
them. safely perched in New York
apartments. look back on those
green. rolling farmlands with mel
ancholy horror, and write stories in
which the life Of an Iowan is pic
tured as something only one degree
less dreary than the life Of ST.
berian political prisoner.
Now. however. comes Phil Stong
with state Fair" an extremely
readable novel which breathes a
deep affection for Iowa life, Iowa
people. Iowa customs and Iowa
scenery.
There were no sounds of weeping
in the cornfelds in this book In
stead there is robust acceptance
of things. an implicit assurance
that life on an Iowa farm can be
deeply and truly satisfying
Mr.. Stong tells, simply and SYM
pathetically. how a farmer and his
family made their annual pilgrim
age TO the state fair
Abel Frake, the head Of the FAM
ily, had his prize hog to exhibit.
Mrs. Frake had her Jars of pickles
and preserves to put on display.
The son and daughter had less
urgent reasons for going. but they
looked forward to the trip-and, in
cidentally. found it lot more ex-
citing than they had expected.
For these youngsters ran into ad-

a Des Moines reporter and the boy

to the farm a good deal wiser,
little bit sadder and a whole lot
more mature, when the fair was
over.
You'll find Estate Fair" an I'M
pretentious and interesting book. It
is published by the Century Com
pany at $3.50. and it is the May Sc
lection OF the Literary Guild.
