LEWIS PREDICTS
NEW YORK SPLIT
Smith Seen as Third Party
Possibility ESpouSed by
Liberty League.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A third party candidate launched
under the auspices Of the American
Liberty League. with view TO divid-
ing New Yorks vote and thus de-
feating President Roosevelt next year.
was forecast today by Senator Lewis,
Democrat, of Illinois.
The Illinois senator, still support
ing President Roosevelt himself, pre-
dicted that the candidate-perhaps
Alfred E. Smith-would be nominated
as a Constitutional Democrat"
Smith, long a New Deal critic, will
address the Liberty League here
January 25. Speculation that he
might again enter the political arena
was aroused day or two ago by an
offer from former Gov Joseph B.
Ely OF Massachusetts, to support him.
Ely followed this up, however, with
a statement that he did not think
the Liberty League would urge Smith
or anyone else to run. The former
Massachusetts, Governor is a director
of the league.
ShOuse Refuses Comment.
Jouett Shouse. president Of the
league, has consistently refused to
discuss the part his organization will
play in next years campaign. He
refused to comment on Ely's offer
to support Smith.
Lewis, retiring chairman Of the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign
Committee, said in an interview that
some Democrats, wishing to defeat
Roosevelt, felt candidate from New
York running independently could
gather enough votes to beat the PreSi-
dent.
Its good politics to calculate that
the loss of New York State alone could
defeat the President" Lewis said. 1T
must not be forgotten that New York
alone defeated Blaine and elected
Grover Cleveland. The electoral vote
of New York, if taken from us, could
offset the winning in the West of
seven different States"
Sees Many Candidates.
Predicting a multiplicity of presi-
Dental candidates, Lewis said THE
organization which Gov. Smith ad-
dresses here will. with their influences
under the name of Constitutional
Democrats, hold convention and
name a candidate"
1T may be this is the source from
which Gov. Smith would be named.
he added.
The effect of a large number OF
presidential candidates, Lewis said
would not be to defeat President
Roosevelt, but to bring about a "bloC
system in Congress" similar to those
in foreign parliaments.
He said Congress members would be
elected on their own platforms. with
out regard to national parties, with
the result that factions would control
Congress without regard to national
principles"

The Community Chest cannot. by

The application bureau of the Chest
has been crowded with persons pre-
senting cases of dire need. The Com
munity Chest agencies had no funds
to meet this abnormal situation. Some

for which the recent Chest campaign
was conducted, criticize the Chest

Washington yawned and rolled over
for another snooze today, after an
hilarious-if somewhat stereotyped-
reception to the New Year.
When the city finally awoke, it found
that. as usual, several platoons of its
citizens were in Jail, charged with in
toxication; the first baby had been
born, the President had decided to
forget the customary New Year day
reception to struggle with his messages
to Congress, and the Weather Bureau
was heralding the end of the cold wave
Except that 1t was, perhaps, bit
noisier and little more moist than
during the last few years, the Capital s
reception to 1886 was much like well
comes to preceding years. There were
few more night clubs in operation
and more Washingtonians paid fancy
cover charges to see the old year out
There were only Al arrests for in
toxication during the progress of the
celebration-the same number as at
the beginning of 1894. This, police
say, is not startling. There have been
larger numbers of arrests on ordinary
Saturday nights during recent months
The first Washington baby of 1886
yelled his greeting to the world at
Freedmen's Hospital He is the son
of Louis Gray and his wife Florence
Of Lakeland, Md, and he was born
