He knew of no loss CT life
He was in the Atlantic Hotel yester-
day and the waves that swept from
the ocean across to the Sinepuxent
Bay in the rear Of the narrow strip of
land shook the hotel notfceably.
Water stood in the lower floor of
the hotel
The people became panic-stricken
yesterday afternoon. he said. as the
gale continued and the thought of high
tide in the early morning gripped them.
The water was sweeping the narrow
strip of land at low tide and they
feared high tide might bring q collapse
Of many structures in the resort.
After leaving Ocean City. Hench said
he drove four miles through water
The Majestic Hotel was in worse
shape than the Atlantic Hotel, Hench
said, and it was impossible to open
the front door. People leaving the back
door wore bathing suits since water
was standing there at all times
Hench said q number Of automobiles
standing on Baltimore street were
buried in sand that had been washed
up by the boiling waters.
Both ends Of the boardwalk were
washed away and the break waters
were badly damaged, Hench said.

struction in the business section.

What's What
Behind News
in Capital;
Coy Republican "Angel'
Financing Plans for
Comeback.
BY PAUL MALLON.

- ONE very coy Republican bigwig
has virtually taken over the oper-
ations of the Republican National
~ Committee without letting even
the insiders there know who
he is.
The hidden benefactor has installed
an assistant to Chairman Everett Sand
ers and is footing the bills. The as
sistant is j. C. O'Laughlin. cCar'
to those who know him. His salary
has been paid for five months now
by the absent angel
The natural assumption Of commit
tee insiders has been that no one eX-
cept MIR. Hoover would be interested
in doing anything like that.
Will Hays Also Mentioned.
The Hoover people laugh at the yarn
They say OLaughlin is not Hoover
man. Also they contend OLaughlin
is getting anywhere from 500 to $3.50
a week, which is from 500 to $3.50
more than Mr.. Hoover could afford to
pay right now.
But no one ever accused Brown Of
being an angel Behind him, the
phantom with the check book is sup
posed to be none other than the cher
ubic movie czar, Will H. Hays.

THE peak of the flood was reached
at 1:20 am, when the Isabella street
dam gave way before the flood waters,
sending them surging into the lower
portion Of the city. Aside from flooded
cellars, washed out houses and up
rooted trees little damage was reported
In the city proper.
"At Laurel, Del however, q break in
the small city dam brought an onrush
Of water that demolished hve homes.
No lives were lost.
Meanwhile, Ocean City. less than Is
miles from Salisbury, was virtually
deserted after 1t had been lashed by
the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and
Sinepuxent Bay Thousands Of
refugees, mostly vacationists, wadxd

MACHAD0 PLOT
REPORT TCOLLAPSES
Exile Given Scare as Plane
Arrives Just as He Gets
Warning.
BY the Associated Press.

NASSAU. August 24-The landing Of
q liquor dealers airplane in Nassau
Harbor, coupled with a wireless mes
sage from Havana warning Of danger
from the air, so frightened Gerardo
Machado, exiled former President of
Cuba. that he requested guard for the
first time since arrival here.
Commandant Weibel of the Bahamian
Constabulary, who placed a rifle-armed
guard about Machado's hotel at the
former Chief Executives request, today
said appropriate action" has been taken
for the keeping Of lookout for possible
islands Of the Bahamas group.
Guard Will Not Return. ..
He declared the guard. which was
not on duty this afternoon, will not re-
turn tonight unless "the situation
changes" C0mmandant Weibel previ-
ously has said he did not believe Ma
chado's life endangered on the island.
The police officer, formerly of the
Canadian Northwest Mounted. disclosed
that Machado's request for protection
came when the liquor dealers airQlane
landed in the harbor is sight Of the
Cuban almost as he finished reading a
message from Havana, which said:
You are all in imminent danger.
Advise leaving quickly. Plane leaving
today"
win Watch Newcomery.
Bahamian police generally do not
carry firearms and the rifle issue for
the Machado guards indicated the
gravity with which the message sent
Machado was first regarded by the
colonial officials
However, Commandant Weibel has
maintained 1t would be simple matter
to maintain q state of safety for the
exiles by closely surveying all new
comers to the islands.

See Hoover Comeback.

All politicians live in glass houses
and they all throw stones. Sooner or
later the master mind will be dragged
into the open.
Until then, the Hoover people will do
what they can to diSpel the idea that
Palo Alto has Washington continuously
on the long distance telephone. Also.
the idea that Mr.. Hoover is laying the
groundwork fora comeback.
The latest grapevine reports from
Pdlo Alto are that Mr.. HOOrer tDOuld
like to pay some one 500 q 1Oeek if
some one 1ciH furnish the 500; that
the only code he is interested in is
the anglers code; that his interest
in that is purely academic, because
he has not caught anything yet.
Vice President Gamers friends
whisper that he may not be on the
ticket with Mr. Roosevelt in 1886. He
has led them to believe he wants to
retire.
That has started some of the long
visioneG boys to speculate on the next
Roosevelt running mate. They like the
chances OF Interior Secretary Ickes.
The latter is Progressive Republican
from the Midwest. He would add Just
the flavor the ticket needs.
Currency Outlook Uncertain.
If Montague Norman and Treasury
Secretary Woodin met in the Maine
woods, the results of the meeting are
not yet apparent in foreign exchange.
The dollar has been weaker lately
That is clearly due to the French belief
that Mr. Roosevelt will come to imitation.
Technical Currency Adviser Sprague
unouestionably would sit in on any
international currency negotiations.
Woodin knows practically nothing about
that complicated subject.
Sprague has been mysteriously absent
from Washington for week.
When O'Ldughlin is NOT at the
National Committee he is publishing
the Army and Napy Journal. t0hich
usually lauds the Roosevelt ndDdl
policy.
The Republican insiders figure there
will be a spirited contest for the next
Republican nomination for President
only In case Roosevelt fails. II the
President succeeds so per cent or better
they believe it will be difncult to find
some one to play the Republican martyr

The Hoover people will have q hard
time selling their denials because Of

The next denial is expected to come
from Hays.
While his angelic tendencies are too
well known to be denied. the explana-
tion by his friends is that he merely
represents a group. In effect, he is
only the big-hearted paymaster who
collects the money from others.
1t may even be such minor detail
in his life that he does not know about
it-yet.
Others on Horizon for 1885.
The matter Is far more important
than it sounds, because Sanders has
invested OLaughlin with routine
powers. Late in March or early in
April Sanders sent letter to national
committee men and women. He out
lined the National Committee set-up
and inferentially advised any one who
had business with the committee to
consult OLaughlin
1t is also important to the other
possible 1886 candidates arising on the
horizon. They include Senate Minority
Leader McNary, House Minority Leader
Smell. Ogden Mills and Representative
Wadsworth.
