WASHINGTON has had large in

have reached the wartime peak of 1918,
from a low of around $1,000 employees
in 1929 to around 100000 today. OBJ

ers to the Capital are golfers, and
many of them have sought member
ship in the private clubs scattered
in nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Further, Washington, as city. suf-
fered very little from the late depres-
sion, and where clubs in other cities
closed their doors and took the re-
ceivership way out, only one or two
Capital clubs were affected seriously
by loss Of memberships and revenue.
Washington, on the whole, in so far as
its golf clubs are concerned, has come
through the late hard times in good
shape and will improve this year.

FARLEY SEEKS
T0BREAK
OF AL SMITH

NEW YORK, Jan. ala finish
fight between AL Smith and jim
Farley loomed here today with
the prediction that within two
months the Democratic National
Committee chairman will attempt
to wrest contro1 Of Tammany Hall
from the Happy Warriors protege,
James j. Dooling, Democratic
county leader and WigWam chief
tain.
1t was only with the ascendency
of Dooling to the Tammany
throne succeeding John Curry IN
July, 1884, that Ex-Governor smith
resumed an active part in the
Tammany fold. Since that time,
1t has been no secret that Smiths
counsel has had no small part
in shaping Tammany policies.
Refusal of Dooling to accept or
derS from Farley is believed to
be the cause of the starvation
patronage rations allotted Tam
many members. Growing restless
ness among District leaders on
this score will be the opening
wedge with which Farley expects
to force his way into the New
York city leadership, local polltl-
clans prophesied.
Underlying the Farley move,
insiders say, is the value OF Tam
many leadership as a stepping
ston1 to the governorship of the
State, a goal which Farley is long
believed to have been seeking.
It was expected that the open
ing guns in the Smith-Farley
tuSsle in New York as we'll as
throughout the country will be
sounded next Saturday night in
Smiths Liberty League speech.
The next skirmish will come, 1t
was predicted, before the time for
filing petitions in the April prl-
marieS.
The movement against Dooling,
If it results in the election OF a
new leader, will be similar to the
method by which Dooling himself
gained control when John Curry
was voted out of power.
In the hope that a dangerous
party conflict can be avoided on
the eve of the State primaries,
enemies of Dooling have proposed
that he be given an appointment
to the State Supreme Court for
the loss of the Tammany posi-
