MRS ROOSEVELT HEARS DISPUTE
Mayor Curley and Gov Ely Engage in Slight
 Verbal Tilt

Boston, Sept. ?7-- (UP)-Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the president, while sitting between Governor Joseph B. Ely and Mayor James M. Curiey of Boston at c luncheon here witnessed an open clash between the two Massa- chusetts democratic political lead. CTS.
 The luncheon yesterday. the clos ing event in the First Lady's two. day visit to Boston, was given pre-. paratory to q drive for funds for the Salvation Army, in which Mrs Roosevelt Is interested.
 No mention of politics had been made until Mayor Curley arose to speak. His championship of the proposed $S,000,000 Huntington Avenue subway extension, which recently was turned down by the State Emergency Finance commis. sion, led him to an attack on the organization of the NRA in Massa- chusetts.
 "There Is a little too much red tape holding back the NRA," he declared, "and leaders are doing nothing to start 1t functioning."
 Curley then turned to the Gov ernor and "suggested" that the "Honobable Governor of the Com. monwealth remove the Emergency Finance commission within 4s hours"
 Ely leaned toward the mayor and said. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed"
 Mrs Roosevelts face remained impassive during the dispute. In her address she told the audience that people are coming back to e simpler manner of living and that business leaders have learned that workers are human beings, mot merely workers

TRADE
 RIGHT IN PRISON

Boston, Sept 27-(UP)-George w. Gordon, expert accountant who embedded some $500,000 from the
 bezzled $500 from fellow convicts at Massac chusetts state prison since
 he was imprisoned there five years
 ago, 1t has been disclosed.
 Assigned to work as assistant
 bookkeeper in the prison office,
 Gordon footed the prisoners funt,
 made up of money they bring to
 the prison. money they earn for
 their labor there, and gifts from friends.
 The prisoner-clerks were not al- lowed to handle cash, but Gordon
 was said to have forged prisoners names on orders calling for with drawal of sums of money and pay
 ment of it to relatives or friends outside. The relatives and friends however. were accomplices of Cor
 don. When discrepancies in the pris- oners' fund accounts were discover ed, state auditors were summoned and traced them to Gordon. He ad- mitted the entertainments, prison and state authorities said. Charles F. Howard, chaifman of the state commission on administration and finance, discounted reports that Gordon's life was in danger at the prison. He pointed out that the prisoners lost nothing. since the state is accountable for the stolen money.
 Gordon is serving a nine-to-thir- teen-year term.

ROOSEVELT TO
 REVIEW ENTIRE
 MONEY QUESTION
Goes to Hyde Park Home To.day-War Debts
 Under Discussion
BY FREDERICK A. sToRM

New York, Sept 27--(UP)- President Roosevelt today prepared to retire to the seclusion of his Hyde Park home to review the in- ternationai monetary situation and direct operation of his credit ex- pansion program.
 Some of his close advisers be- 1levcd tho chief executive also would tackle the war debts prob- loms in preparations for confer onces scheduled on his return to Washington Oct 5. They thought the debt question was discussed last night when MT Roosevelt con- ferred with Jesse fsidor Strauss, ambassador to France, at his home here.
 The fact that the preslden brought Q full office staff along for tho final 1888 visit to Hyde Park indicated he would carry out an in- tensiye work, program while there. especially in connection with credit expansion which he regards as the Keystone to success of the N. R. A.
 The whole world monetary ques. ton was discussed while enroute to Now York yesterday. He heard from Prof James II. Rogers. Yale university economist, the results of European study he and Prof George Warren of Cornell, carried out during the summer. Whether the subject of imitation came up could not be learned.
 The president planned to motor to Hyde Park after luncheon at bis home here. His visit hero was tho first since Inauguration and he waa greeted by thousands of citizens who iifled the route from tho penn- syivania station to his home on East 65th Street.
 While White House attaches were silent regarding future move ments of Mir Roosevelt, 1t. was felt certain that he would leave in tho next few days from Hyde Park for Chicago to deliver the principal ad" dress at the opening of the Amer. ican Legion convention Oct 2.
 His itinerary calls for his return to New York oct 1, when he will address the National Catholic Charities. He will return to Wash- ington the following day to attend tho world series baseball game be. tween the Washington Senators and tho New York Giants.
 Tho president last night said goodbye to his eldest son James and his wife. who sailed for six weeks trip to Europe aboard the Europa. 4 family dinner before the sailing was attended by Mrs Roosevelt, Mrs sarah Delano Roos- evolt. the presidents mother; Mrs Curtis Dali. his daughter and her two children.

 Washington, Sept 27.-(UP)- Senate investigators of Hoover ad- ministration ocean mail contracts and merchant ship construction loans sought today to determine why a single steamship operator spent hundreds of thousands of dollars while seeking and obtain ing funds from the United States treasury.
 Henry Herberman, president of the Export Steamship Corporation and the Steers Terminal Coorpora- tion, sharply denied yesterday that he had paid a $510 tailor bill for T. V. O'Connor, United States ship ping board chairman under two re- publican presidents.
 Chairman Black of the senate committee told questioners O'Con- nor probably would be summoned to testify before the hearing ad- journed. J. CaIliendo, New York tailor, to whose shop Herberman testified he had been directed by O'Connor, may also be asked to testify.
 So far the democratic inquiry to determine whether political infiu- ence or any other consideration figured in letting mali contracts or extending loans has not pro- sressed beyond the stage of insirtu. ation.
 Inquiry by senate investigators extended to the Roosevelt Line headed by Kermit Roosevelt, son of the ltae President Theodore Roosevelt, and controlled by the International Mercantile Marine, but Chairman Black refused to, in- dicate whether the Roosevelt Lines contracts would be brought up.

HOARDERS RETURN
 PAPER CURRENCY

Washington, Sept. 27 - (UP) = Approximately $2,000, 900, ,000 came out of hoarding to stimulate busi- ness in the period from March 13, to August 30, the federal reserve board reported today.
 That the return flow of curren- cy was from i.oards and not from active circulation" the board said, ''is indicated by the fact that the larger part of the paper currency returned to the federal reserve banks since last March has been in the larger denominations, $50 and over. such as are used rela- lively little in day-today transac- tions.
 From the end of February, when money in circulation was about s1.000, 100000 less than at the, peak, to the end of July, cur rency of denominations of $50 and over declined by about $500, ,000.- 900, or 26 per cent, whereas cur rency of $20 denomination declin- ed by $165.000.000. or II per cent, and the circulation of the denom- nations of s10 and under, which is the currency largely used for business purposes. declined by $75,- 100000 or per cent"

DEMOCRATS FIND
 TROUBLE IN N. Y.
Roosevelt Support oi Mayoralty Candidate
 Doesn't Set We'll
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

Washington. Sept 27.--(UP)- Interference of Roosevelt adminis. tration officials in the New York mayoralty race may provoke q troublesome backwash in noxt years congressional elections.
 Tho alliance between the ad- mInlstration and independent re- pubiicans would be endangered # the precedent of encouraging q pro- Roosevelt democrat to run against against ap independent re- publican in New York city is fol- lowed throughout tho country.
 Several pro. fs oosevelt senators are up for reelection next year. They Include LaFoiiette of Wiscon- sin, Johnson of California, Cutting of New Mexico, Frazier of North Dakota, not to mention the farm er.labor senator, Shipstcad Of Minnesota. scrapping previous party entangiements, these senators aided the Roosevelt campaign. Some were offered cabinet places. They have been recognized as im- portant elements in the administra- tion's strength. Naturally they look forward to having this support returned, or to having at least the benefit of benevolent neutrality, in their reelection campaigns.
 But the action of Postmaster General Farley in the New York mayoralty fight raises new pos- sibility. He has encouraged former Mayor Joseph V. Mckee, pro- Roosevelt, to go into the mayoralty fight against Maj F. H. LaGuardia, fusion candidate and former inde- pendent republican congressman. Friends of LaGuardia say this move directly menaces his chances of defeating the Tammany candi- date, Mayor O'Brien. They feel this is a poor reward for LaGuardia's s services, who until he retired from congress last March was promin- ently identified with progressive legislation desired by friends of the incoming president. Friends of genial Jim Farley answer that is an opportunity for Roosevelt demo- crats to smash Tammany and seize control of the organization and that it is a matter of party import ance.
 Now the question is whether ann bilious democrats in Wisconsin. California, and some other states will not take the cue from this situ- ation and demand Farley's support in organizing simon-pure demo- cratic tickets in next years con- cressional elections. These demo- crats, on a lean diet for years. want to get in on the party's prosperity and are not eager to hand over choice seats in the senate to re- publicans. even friendly repubii- cans.
