Seabury in another campaign speech
again attacked Tammany. asserting
there was S8O,OOo,OOO waste in the con-

Meanwhile rebellion in the fusion
movement developed as a reaction to
their failure to indorse Supreme Court
Justice Samuel I. Rosenman and to
the selection of third Seabury as

Failure of the fusion judicial conven-

Political leaders recalled that when
Justice Rosenman was turned down for

Rosenman, subsequently appointed by
Gov. Lehman, an insult to President

Indications were that the city would
abandon voting machines for the elec-

opposed by fusionists. The change may
be necessary. officials of the Board of
Elections said. because there are SO
many tickets in the mayoralty race that

Dram a Aplenty Put
Into Presidents
Chicago Trip.
BY PAUL MALLON.

"HE Presidents press agents per-

Their tactics were reminis-
cent of the late Tex Rickard, prize
fight promoter He had knack of in
stilling drama into routine boxing
bouts. 1t made him a millionaire.
The presidential agents put drama
aplenty into the Chicago journey. At
one time they recommended that the
President fly out there. Later they de-
cided that would probably be over
doing it.
Instead they started an inside
argument about Whether he
should 90 or not. Then they
passed out information that all
his advisers told him to stay
home. They lrere afraid of 1Uhat
,0ould happen to him, boarding
the soldiers in their dugout
The truth of the matter is that ar
rangements for the presidential trip
were made as far back as siY weeks
ago.
Had Convention in Hand.
At that time the Legion leaders
agreed they had the convention we'll in
hand. State conventions were rapidly

A check showed the bonus howl could
be squelched.
The only doubt about the President
going lay in the question OF whether
the trip was worth while.

Capt. Stoffer, who piloted the Asso-
ciated Press plane that greeted Balbo

who formerly was a stunt flyer in Holly
wood. was praised by Ress for his
smooth handling of the plane en- route
here from New York.
Ress, a veteran i'll the Associated
Press service, returned from Cuba a
little more than 10 days ago. after q
narrowing experience with the revo-
lutionistS there. When the Machado
regime callopsed, Ress attempted to
board boat in Havana harbor to get
some pictures. 1t was learned that
Orestes Ferrara, secretary of state under
Machado, and former ambassador to
washington, was on the vessel, and Ress
was arrested by De Cespedes followers
as a suspect in aiding Ferrara's escape.
Yesterdays preparations for the flight
from New York to the Capital went off
without a catch, and Stoffer and Ress
were able to beat all opposition in get

flour. There is little hope. he said that
all SurpluSeS can be thus consumed, but
relief will be increased in an effort not
only to improve the condition of those
now on relief rolls. but also to aid the
farmer in consuming the goods that
now congest the agricultural markets.
The plan of financing also is still in
the formative stage. but Hopkins said
funds will be forthcoming from the

raised by States, municipalities and

F|NANC|ERS VISION
FIXED DOLLAR SOON
Authorities in Wall Street
See Initiation Warning of
Green Significant.

Copyright. 1893. BY the Associates Press)
NEW YORK. October avail Street
is swinging strongly to the opinion that
that some sort Of stabilization Of the
dollar is not far away.
While some observers feel the wish
may be the daddy Of this hunch, high
financial quarters insist that signs in
dicate action toward a stable dollar be-
fore the end of the year.
There is considerable confusion over
the time element. Few care to guess
although some say it might well be by
the middle of November
Important banking quarters say that
Washington is finding an unstable dol
lar distinct hindrance to its credit
expansion program. Big bankers insist
they cannot extend credit In any volume
without some knowledge as to the sort
OF dollars with which the debt will be
repaid.
Green's Warning Cited.
Wall Street has thus far received no
definite 1nkling from Washington as to
the administrators monetary plan, but
some banking leaders expressed the
opinion that the warning this week by
William Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor as to the dan
gers to the workingman in the sort
OF imitation which has been experienced
in Europe, was deeply significant. They
found 1t particularly SO, coming as it
did short time after Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace had publicly asserted
that imitation could not cure the ills of

Some Wall Street experts feel stabil.
1zatlon OF the dollar in relation to the
British pound sterling, which seems to
have an even more important effect
upon price levels than the ratio Of the
dollar to the gold currencies. may well
enter into the negotiations on the
British war debt, starting soon after the
arrival of Sir Frederick Leith-Ross to
represent the British government later
this week. A more definite monetary
policy it is felt, might be necessary to
debt settlement, SO that the debtors
may know what sort Of dollars they
must use in payment.
Experts Differ.
1t is felt that some formula will be
found to give the dollar more definite
value, without deflationary effect upon
domestic price levels. which may mean
devaluation in terms of gold some
what below that indicated by the pres
ent ratio to the gold currencies Some
experts assert. however, that devalua-
ton alone can have but limited effect
upon price levels. pointing out that they
have risen but fraction Of the present
drop of 35 per cent in dollars in rela-
tion to gold currencies. DeValuation OF
such important currencies as the dollar
and the pound. they say. tends to de-
press gold prices, so there is no corre-
spending rise in dollar or pound prices.

CORN CROP NOW SAFE
FROM FROST HAZARDS
Only Small Areas Remain Where
Grain Can Be Damaged by

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Weather Bureau reported today
that the corn crop, after being Seri-
ously damaged by drought this year, is
now safe in most areas from its last
important production hazard, early
frosts.
It said the only sections in which
frost could result in appreciable dam
age would be in Southeastern Iowa and
Missouri and Southern Indiana and IL
linois. Elsewhere the crop has matured
beyond the danger point.
Cotton is nearly all open, with pick
ing making satisfactory progress except
in the wetter sections of the belt. which
are mostly confined to the North Cen
tral districts.
In the Western belt the harvest Is
well advanced and about so per cent
complete in Oklahoma.
Three-fourths of the Winter wheat
crop has been seeded in Kansas, the
leading wheat-producing State.

Such talk is useless speculation. The
figure cannot be fixed, even approM-
mately, until the time for devaluation
is set. Then economists will calculate
how much devaluation is necessary to
help restore the 1926 price level or
the 1923-25 average level. Commodity
prices at the given time will have to
be considered. also the f1uctuating
value Of the dollar abroad.
The thing to remember in all
this current credit expansion talk
is that you cannot erpdnd any,
thing by doubling the room for it,
The root CT credit lies in business
prospects. II prospects are good. men
will borrow and banks will lend. If
banks become cagey.
War Debt Issue Coming Up.
Impartial economists believe that is
the fallacy of the existing situation.
They think 1t Is impossible to expect
the absorption of expanded credit IA
cilities until a definite monetary policy
of some kind Is assured.
But that is not the only reason why
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to announce
a monetary policy shortly The en-
barrassing war debts issue is also COM
ing up Immediately. You can hardly
talk about payments with money run
ming wild. What kind of money will
they pay us with? A 65-cent dollar,
which may be worth 80 cents or moth
ing by the time the payment is made?
Or will it be with gold, while we have
an embargo on its movement in inter-
national exchange?
