Records Of Smith
 Quoted Against Hin,
lcontInued fron bod D

1 phia democratic national convention would endorse the Roosevelt admin istratlon, he answered his own ques- ton as to "what happens then to disciples of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland" thusly:
 "There are only one or two things we can do. We can either take on the mantle of hypocrisy or we can take 8 walk-and we will probably do the latter"
 Where WIll He Walk
 What Washington is wondering is where the Happy Warrior" will walk, and how far and with whom.
 Will Smith support a democratic "bolt"? Will he actively campaign against the New Deal2 Back in New York today Smith declined to throw any further light on his intentions.
 Democrats are confronted with q situation similar to that in ieo6, when William Jennings Bryan and free silver kidnapped the party. Bump convention of sound money democrats nominated Q presidential ticket in opposition to Bryanism and on e national democratic platform. But national democrats sought prt- marily to defeat Bryan instead of elect their own candidate, John M. Palmer, and they succeeded.

Mahoney, strong leader of his district. Tammany 1t was said, has not been pleased by the scant patronage doled out by Postmaster General James Fl. Farley, but it is convinced that Roosevelt will be re-" nominated and that 1t will pay best in the end to string along with him.

THE SCENES IN WASHINGTON Tunnel Deaths May Save Other Lives

according to testimony, after the Job was over and men began to find they and their dead comrades were silioosis victims, "the company" burned the shacks in which many still sought to live.
 MArcantonio hopes perhaps this investigation will prevent anything of the nature in the future. Stories Are Appalling
 If you had been at tho hearing, you wouldn't soon forget the stories of the pathetic victims whose lungs arc solidifying as Q result of the work they did.
 one important witness, who was unable ( oattend, but sent Q state. mont by mall - Dr. l.. R, Hairless, dauiey Bridge physician, who hes treated scores of tho victims - as- serted, however, that "the situa- ton has been exaggerated" Ho expressed doubt that nearly as many had died and were suffering from silicosis as reported by tho press and by dauley Bridge residents.
 The letter brought sharp criti. clsms from the committee, and charges of inconsistency on the part of the doctor.
 Lltale can be done for the sure vlvors from Che 2,000 men who drilled the mountain and It's silica

 the vessel, with the sherwins still aboard, was lowed from Federal wharf to the mud flats of Castle Island, Saturday night.
 Attorney Marcus Morton, counsel for the Federal Wharf company, had asked the court to hold German and Ryan in contempt and impose finei to Do applied to warfage charges.
 Judge Walsh's decision left the sit. uation in an even more complicated state than heretofore. What lega' action can now be taken to oust Mrs sherwin from her floating home wal Q puzzle. She has made 1t plain she will stick to the ship, even if the company carries out its plan to take 1t down the harbor and sink it.
 The diminutivo, blue.eyed woman designedly slipped tea in c drafty aft cabin of the weather.beaton fours master saturday night as three tugs transferred tho i470.ton vessel from Federal wharf, East Boston, to the mud flats of Castle Islands.
 Home for Five Years
 There the eeattle-bullt vessel which has been Mrs. eherw!n's only homo for five years was anchored, pending . trip down harbor where 1t will Do consigned to the marine graveyard,
 spunky Mrs. sherwin, her shy % year old son William, and their 10 year old police dog Echo" spent . gloomy weekend In the small, cold cabin. Meanwhile two keepers ass signed to the Snetind made them. selves snug forward by starting c fire in c donkey boiler and toasting frankfurters, tho tantal!2ing aroma of which set Echo" to barking.
 Boston's ancient harbor never sheltered c stranger craft than the 234.foot snetind, built i7 years ago aand long since retired from active service. Its four bare masts rise from snowscoated deck litered with ice choked rock gardens and bamboo arbors--comic symbols of the ideals istic project that hos caused this woman to live aboard the ship. Her Ides Died
 Never has Mrs. sherwin, estranged wife of Q one.timo New York editor, lost her enthusiasm for an idea she conceived 6 quarter century ago.
 The idea was to obtain abandoned sailing vessels such as the snetind, transform them into attractive arts and crafts shops, and anchor them in summer ct such arty resorts as Provincetown, Gloucester and Rock port. A tthese places would be sold art objects which had been made aboard during the previous winter, the receipts to finance the ship. owner during the ensuing winter.
 Game the depression, and Mrs. Sherwin reasoned that her idae could be applied to the JoblesS; that municipalities could relieve their welfare burdens by buying derelicts to give the unemployed 6 start.
 Seeking to convince skeptics of the worth of her plan, Mrs. 6herwln arranged to live aboard the snetind. Late last year Q court ordered the Montgomery Navigation company to remove that vessel from busy Fed eral wharf. And when the order waa not carried out, company officials were cited for alleged contempt.
