Harmsworth trophy from Gal
Wood.
But Sir Malcolm says England
is wrong-emphatically so. Over
a luncheon table in Berkeley yes
tcrday, he answered my question,
whether he intends to make an
assault on Woods mark. with a
vigorous denial. He even went
so far as to cross his heart and
hold up his right hand while say
ing. mo. no. no. This outburst
of enthusiasm in staid Berkeley,
might add, almost caused the
headwaiter's eyebrows to arch
clean out of sight.
SIR Malcolm did admit. and a bit
reluctantly. I thought. that Blue
birds motor was in a boat. that
the boat had been in the process
of construction for quite a long
while. and that it would be quite
fast"
I asked him why he was build
ing such a boat if he didn't plan
TO try for record.
My dear fellow" he answered.
Il am building it for two reasons.
the first being to keep me busy.
When I made 300 miles an hour I
lost my interest in racing automo-
biles That speed had been my
goal so long that when I reached
t. the game palled. I am through
with it forever. no matter if my
time is bettered a dozen times.
In the second place 1 know so
little about boats and thought it
might be interesting to scratch an
unknown surface, so to speak. I
have few ideas of construction
about which I am interested to see
if they will work out. But even
if they did, it is most unlikely that
the boat would be anywhere near
fast enough to challenge Gar Wood,
as he undoubtedly knows more
about the business than any man
in the world"
1t may be ungracious of me to
say so, being as 1 partook of
delightful luncheon at his ex-
pense and will visit him this
weekend for several rounds of
golf, but 1 believe Sir Malcolm
will challenge Wood for the
Harmsworth trophy within two
years. This probably sounds as
if I am calling him a liar, but I
don't mean it that way. have
no doubt that at the present mo-
ment, he sincerely believes he
will never race Wood. The very
nature of the man makes me
think he will.
He is not a man who does things
in half measures. He gives OF his
best to everything he undertakes.
Speed is part of his life-and has
been for 3o-odd years. He wouldn't
have a slow boat around him any
more than he would have a slow
car, horse, wheelbarrow or slow
anything else.
Once he has started something
and it would certainly seem he's
started motor boat racing. for after
all you don't droop 100000 into a
boat if you intend to use it for
Sunday afternoons cruising or fish
ing-he will spend time, money and
energy with a lavish hand in search
of perfection.
1t would be a tremendous boom
to motorboat racing if Sir Malcolm
would challenge for the famed
trophy, because interest in the
event has been killed by lack of
competition. Commodore Wood is
90 far ahead of his field right now,
that races for the Harmsworth cup
are nothing more than exhibitions
by the white-haired, Algonac, Mich,
manufacturer.

from viewing iss findings, Dewey at once organized staff of 20 lawyer aides, nine investigators, 10 accountants, four process servers, a b attery of stenographers and a picked squad, numerically secret, of young detectives. Half a dozen young lawyers also serve, without compensation.
 Not infrequently his work keeps him an average of Is hours daily in his office, and his staff, includ- ing stenographers, remain with him.
 Jailed Waxey Gordon
 A law meeting with George z. Medalie, United States Attorney, started him on the road to his present post At the age of 29 he was placed in charge of 50 lawyers as chief assistant to Medalie. Be- fore this he never had tried a criminal case. He assisted in the prosecution of Charles E. Mitchell and later, as Federal Attorney him. self, succeeding his chief, sent Waxey Gordon to jail
 Said Federal Judge Frank J. Coleman in the Gordon case:
 Tt is my firm conviction that never in this court nor in any other court has there been such fine work done"
 After leaving his Federal post Dewey resumed his private prac- tice and served as special counsel to the Bar Association, without pay in the removal of Municipal Court Justice Harold l.. Kunstler.

By CHARLES NORMAN

NEW YORK, Aug. A young man from Owosso, Mich, who came here to study singing and law, and turned to law exclusively heads New York City's vice and racket eering probe.
 He is Thomas E. Dewey, credited generally with the first prosecu- tion and conviction of a big-shot gangster on felony charge in 20 years. AS special prosecutor he sent Charles Lucky" Luciano and his lieutenants to jail after trial in a State court on their racket crimes. Men like Waxey Gordon and AL phonse Capone were placed behind bars for Federal income tax eva sion.
 Thirty-four years old, tan from a few days boating-he has not had a regular vacation in two years brown haired and brown-eyed. with a black mustache emphasizing his youthfulness, Dewey talks calmly in Ia deep courtroom voice." and something of the zeal that fired Lexow, Jerome and Seabury, past crusaders against vice and crime, lights up his face.

 Observers say he has brought a new method of criminal investiga- tion to bear. Ballyhood is out. No witness is named, no testimony made public. until he steps into a courtroom. In addition, Dewey is after the top men, not their hire lings, in the many -millioned indus trial n d miscellaneous criminal rackets of the metropolis.

 In organizing his staff he de- manded men without political "ob- legations" He himself has said farewell to politics. In 1882 he aided Medalie's Senate campaign. A year before he was Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Young Republicans Club. Since then he has not set foot inside a district club or attended a political meeting
 Dewey is married and has two sons, four years and year old. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Columbia law school He likes sailing and tennis, reads biographies and mysteries.

figurehead Neither of these rules seems to apply fully this year.
 ROOSEVELT TAXES LEAD
 On the Democratic side, it is quite plain that many party work CTS win look to President Roosevelt not only to take the lead in ac- tual campaigning, but to indicate in all important matters what the practical tactics of the campaign are to be.
 It would be too sweeping state ment, however, to say that MT. Roosevelt will be looked to as his own campaign manager. Such a statement would overlook the great responsibility he places, on Farley for carrying into effect the detail of party work in specific situations.
 In no sense is Farley regarded as a figurehead by those who know him and have seen him in action. He relies on his chief for the selec- tion of objectives; but once the goal is pointed out, he uses his own methods to attain the desired end. And in this the President has given him wide latitude.
 Nor is there any doubt that in the realm of political detail, Farley has established a formidable reputation among politicians. The results of his foresight and his intensive pri- yate effort were apparent at the Philadelphia convention when such powerful factors as the Tammany organization in New York and the Hague organization in New Jersey, which had opposed the original Roosevelt nomination bitterly, vot- ed solidly for the renomination.
 Many think important States may swing in November on Farley's ability to keep these and similar big-city machines completely in line for the ticket
