CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 6.-Rival

nomination, issued statements tonight,
expressing confidence that Gov. AL
fred M. Landon of Kansas would be
nominated, and that the Kansan
would not be nominated. respectively.
From the Landon camp came a
declaration by John Hamilton, cam
paign manager, that the delegates,
and no group Of old guard managers,
would select the party'S candidate
That candidate, he said, would be
Landon.
George Moses, former Senator from
New Hampshire and spokesman for
Col. Frank Knox of Chicago, issued a
blast to the effect that this week in
Cleveland had been Landon week, but
that the national convention, which
opens Tuesday, would be a different
thing.
In Hands Of Delegates.
The Hamilton statement, which
was read to the press by Represent
ative Joseph W. Martin of Massa-
chusetts, Landon floor manager in the
coming convention, was as follows:
The delegates themselves - no
manager or group of managers-are
going to nominate the next President
of the United States in the conven-
ton. That is as it should be. Gov.
Alfred NJ Landon of Kansas is the
choice. This has been confirmed over
and over again as the delegates and
leaders from the several States have
arrived.
There have been instances when a
candidate has had sentiment and no
delegates, and been defeated. There
have been candidates who have had
delegates and no sentiment and have
not been nominated. Gov. Landon
has both delegates and sentiment and
he will be nominated.
Every poll and every expression Of
popular preference has shown conclu-
sively that Gov. Landon is the over
whelming choice of the Republican
voters of the Nation. The information
we are receiving at Cleveland merely
confirms these tests. The delegates
are here to express the will of the

BALTUSROL GOLF COURSE,
Springfield, N. j., June 6.-Swarthy,
stocky little Tony Manero, born An
thony in Elmsford, N. Y. 81 years
ago, is the new National Open golf
champion of the United States and
surrounding precincts.
The olive-skinned, mustached pro-
fessional from the Sedgefield Country
Club Of Greensboro, N c., put on
story-book finish here this afternoon
to break the existing championship
record for the 72-hole route by four
shots with a total of 282.
Playing the final round in 81
whacks, five under par, to slide in
two strokes under the 2S4 registered
by second-place Lighthouse Harry
Cooper Of Chicago, Maneros finish
ing round Of 81 broke the record for
the Baltusrol layout by two shots.
Today Italy could annex North
Carolina without a dissenting vote
from the Tarheels. who waxed jubi-
liant last night in Tony's home baili-
wick.
Old Mark Was 2S6.
Playing the last two rounds with
Gene Sarazen. with whom Tony
caddied around Rye, N. Y, Is years
ago, Manero played the final 36 holes
of the championship under extreme
pressure in l40, winding up the round
and winning the championship with
3-foot putt that whacked against
the back of the cup for his 81 and
a new record for the championship.
The old record was 256, set by
Chick Evans at Minneapolis and tied
by Sarazen in 1882. Witty Cox. Ken
wood Golf and Country Club pro,
finished IN a tie for fifth place with
289, seven shots back of the new
champion.
Manero is another one of those
American born lads of Italian par
entage who have grown up around
New York In recent years and have
won many championship, among
them lads like Victor Ghezzi, Sarazen,
the Ciucci brothers, the Turnesa
brothers and others.
Fifteen years ago Tony caddied at
Elmsford, on the outskirts of White
Plains in Westchester County and
later became assistant pro to Joe
Turnesa. He has been at Green's
boro for three years. Tony has played
in all the National Capital Open
tournaments at Kenwood but never
has figured as a winner.
Again proving that a golf1ng guy
must be blessed by fortune to win
this championship, Manero's putter
turned red-hot again on him this
afternoon as he knocked the ball

Letter Acreage to Pay Taxes;

The 100 acres lie in a narrow strip
along the water front of the Letter es-

sists of 450 acres. 1t will be the larg-

Transfer of the property from the
estate. through the Treasury for taxes,
directly to another branch of the Gov.

for Federal use, is an unusual but not
necessarily unprecedented procedure.
When taking property for taxes. the
Government usually sells it for cash.
In this instance it will obviate what
otherwise might have been an endless
amount of Government administrative
detail in acquiring property.
One of the provisos in the agree

dark-horse presidential candidate, who
may prove worse than a mere night
mare for Gov. Alfred M Landon of
Kansas, was the chief desire of the
anti-Landon group in Cleveland to-
night. He may never be found.
The anti-Landonites, including the
Borah and Knox forces, were looking
hopefully to Senator William E. Borah
of Idaho to put stick of dynamite
under the Landon boom and blow it
sky high. The Idaho Senator is
expected to arrive here tonight or
Monday morning.
Meanwhile, the Landon forces, con-
fident that their candidate has the
presidential nomination in the bag,
were busily engaged in drafting a
liberal platform on which the Kansan
may stand. They have no slightest
doubt that their candidate will be
nominated
Apparently they have cast aside
the thought that they might hold back
and not seek Landon's nomination
on the first ballot. They are ready
to put their candidate across at the
earliest possible moment. While the
Landon managers continue to claim
something more than 400 delegate
votes on the first ballot, those on
the inside predicted that the Cover

lot, said today that If there were 5o2

Kansas Governor on the first ballot,

The statement of Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg of Michigan that he
would find it impossible to accent"
nomination for Vice President on the
ticket with Landon, threw a damper
on the hopes of Landon leaders. They
had hoped that the Michigan Senator
might agree to take such a nomina-
ton.
While the Landon leaders began
immediately scanning other vice pres
identical possibilities, some of them
still clung to the idea that the con-
vention might draft the Michigan
Senator, willy-nilly
It seems obvious that If Vandenberp
continued to have hope that the pres
idential lightning might strike him in
the coming convention, he must with
out further delay put an end to the
idea that he was a candidate in any
shape or form for second place on the
ticket. With Landon far in the lead

report that the Michigan Senator
