Elliott Roosevelt
Says Garner Boom
Is Definitely On
Possibility Of Third Term
For Father Mentioned,
But No Forecast Made
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, April g.
Elliott Roosevelt said in a radio talk
last night the John Garner boom
for President was on and Mr.. Garner
would be hard to remove from the
drivers seat unless President Roose-
velt chose to run for a third term.
The possibility of his father seek
ing another term is "a matter about
which I neither know nor predict a
thing" young Roosevelt declared in
his semi-Weekly broadcast.
He said he was amused at various
interpretations placed by the Ma
tion's press on his recent observa-
ton that Mr.. Garner was riding the
crest of favoritism as presidential
timber.
He remarked some newspapers re-
ported the comment as the observa-
ton he meant it to be. Others, he
added, construed it to mean he pub
licly had declared himself for Mr..
Garner.
Frank in His Opinions.
Had my opinion been that Jim
Farley, Harry Hopkins or some indi-
vidual named George Spelvin was
leading the presidential nominee
pack" Mr. Roosevelt said. such
would have been my observation.
Mr.. Roosevelt added he was fortu-
nate in his observation because five
days after he made it, George Gallup
of the American Institute of Public
Opinion said in survey report that
more than 40 per cent of a great
number of Democrats polled in all
sections of the country favored Gar
ner for 1910.
I'VE may expect to see a new
surge toward recovery within the
next year." Mr.. Roosevelt asserted,
with the swing of Government
favoritism from the extreme labor
side more nearly to the center in
favor of capital"

Balkan Kingdoms Hesitont
On British Security Plan

BUDAPEST, Hungary April 8 'F,.
Little Kingdoms of the Balkans,
worried by Italy's invasion OF AL
bania. today were re-examining the
possible effectiveness of any Brit
ish-made system of security.
Foreign Offices in the countries of
Southeastern Europe had been con-
sidering the advisability of associat-
ing themselves with the British
French-Polish front against agrees
sion.
But some observers believed that
Italy's move against Albania, jriv-
ing a wedge between Yugoslavia
and Greece. had reduced greatly the
attractiveness of the British plan to
the Balkans.
Officially. all countries of the
region-particularly Yugoslavia, Ru-
mania and Bulgaria were expressing
an optimistic view of developments.
Foreign Office spokesmen expressed
hope the military action in AL
bania would be localized. But off
the record comment was not so
cheerful.
Many political leaders in Yugo-
slavia admitted Italian occupation
OF Albania's S seacoast gave Premier
Mussolini virtually complete control
of the Adriatic Morever. Italian
troops now were in a position to
move up on Yugoslavia's southern
border while German. as well as
Italian, power could be modified
to the north and northwest.
Observing themselves in this
strategically precarious position.
many Yugoslavs were not impressed
by the security promised by distant
powers.
1--WE are too close to the cannon" !"
one Belgrade observer stated. An
other weakness of Yugoslavia, grow
ing out of the Albanian occupa-
ton. was the likelihood that in any
military action in the Balkans,
Yugoslavia and Greece would be
separated with comparative ease.
The Balkan entente of Yugoslavia,
Rumania. Turkey and Greece did
not appear to be nearly the compact
bloc it seemed when the entente
council met in Bucharest q few
weeks ago.
Consequently, many Balkan states
men thought it wiser to make new
efforts to appease the axis powers
rather than give offense by joining
an anti-aggression combination of
improved value.
Great Diplomatic Activity.
All through the Balkans there was
great diplomatic and governmental
activity.
In Greece. Dictator Gen. John
Metaxas yesterday conferred with
his ministers and with diplomats
on Italy's coup.
Among diplomats received by Gen.
Metaxas were the italian, British,
French, Netherlands and Polish
Ministers.
Regent Prince Paul of Yugoslavia
consulted his ministers and officials
Cancelled Easter holiday plans.
The Yugoslav border with Albania
was closed. There was subdued
excitement in Belgrade despite Of
fetal Italian assurances that no
action disadvantageous to Yugo-
slavia was contemplated.
In Budapest street lights were
dimmed last night in what appeared
to have been an unscheduled air
raid defense drill.

Illinois Regency
To End 4 Months
Rule Tomorrow
Gov. Horner to Return
After Absence Due
To Illness
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 8.-A
regency rule" unparalleled in Illi-
nois history will give way to Gov.
Henry Horner's executive authority
tomorrow on his return to the State
after an absence of more than four
months
The unique and unofficial regency
of four men was created after the
Governor went to Florida last NO
vember to regain his health.
Illness aggravated by fatigue and
an overworked heart caused the 90
year-old Democratic executive to
seek rest a few days before the No
vember election. He had taken an
active part in Scott Lucas success
full campaign for the United States
senatorship.
Under the State constitution the
executive authority devolved upon
Lieut.. Gov. John Stelle as soon as
Gov. Horner crossed the State line.
Thus the political complexion of the
State changed overnight inasmuch
as the Lieutenant Governor was
aligned with anti-Horner Demo-
cratic forces in the past two pri-
mary campaigns.
1t was Mr.. .Stelle. however, who
created the Administrative Board or
so-called regency for consultation on
matters of policy. And, although he
had full authority to supplant HoI-
ner employees with appointees Of his
own choice, he worked harmoniously
with the regency.
-Four public officials. all close po-
litical friends of the Governor. were
named to the board. The regency
served two-fold purpose: 1t gave
the State an unofficial executive
group to continue the Horner ad-
ministration policies, and 1t facili-
tated cooperation between the rival
Democratic factions.

Pro-Ita|ian Revolt
Against King zog
Reported
Refugees at Brindisi
Tell of Outbreak in
Northern AIbuniu
BY the Associated Press.

BRINDISI, Italy, April 7 De-
layed Italian refugees from AL
bania said on arrival here today
that a pro-Italian "counter-revolu-
ton" had been launched from Scu-
tari, in Northern Albania, against
King zog
They said they thought it likely
that Prince John of Merdita-the
region around Scutari-Would be
the puppet chief of any new AL
banian government accepted by
Italy if an outright Italian Gov
ernor were not installed.
They likened Prince John to Ras
Halle Selassie Gugsa. son-in-laW Of
Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia,
whose detection to the Italians in
1885 aided the Fascist conquest of
that county.
Although Prince John is not a
relative of Zog's, the refugees said
he was a sort of tribal chieftain,
such as Zog was before he became
President and then King.
Called Counter Revolt"
Refugees described the Scutari
movement as a counter-revolu-
ton because they said they con-
sidered their departure from AL
bania was necessitated by prior
rebellion staged by Zog against
Italy'S dominant economic control
of the country.
Hundreds, and perhaps thousands,
of refugees arrived today and yes
terday.. Some CAME on Ala Lit
toria commercial airplanes, but most
were transported here on a flotilla
of Italian ships which shuttled back
and forth between Brindisi and the
Albanian ports of San Giovanni
De Medua, Durazzo and Valona.
Gorilla, 10,OOO-ton cruiser. and
group of smaller warships brought
back the largest group of refugees.
The refugees said they were or
dered by Italian authorities on April
to leave Albania. italians sent
automobiles to the interior to pick
up groups of their countrymen work
ing in copper mines.
Some refugees said the Italians
have followed demonstrations in
Tirana of armed bands who roved
the city firing rifles in the air and
shouting Down with Italy
They said the demonstrations be-
gan April /.
Quick Return Expected.
Most of the refugees brought only
suitcases, and said they expected to
return to Albania shortly to resume
their occupations. Some lodged
here. though some were sent to their
homes by the government.
1t was privately estimated that 15,-
600 Bersagliere and grenadiers left
Brindisi Thursday and arrived in
Albania Thursday night. Others
sailed from Bari
Five ships, Umbria. Tuscania. Val
Vavoia, Barletta and Adriatico trans
ported the troops from this port.
The docks were piled high with
war materials-guns. ammunition,
foodstutfs-to be sent after the in
vading forces were transported
across.
In addition, hundreds of olive
green army trucks were massed on
the waterfront to be loaded aboard
the large ships tonight.

But Albania. the smallest country

that she was prepared to fight until
her last man was dead, and then
mobilize her women.
While regulars and vigilantes who
had taken down their rifles and
primitive weapons to fight dogged,
if losing battle, from behind stones,
trees and mountain ambushes. the
former premier. Medhi Frasheri.
addressed the nation by radio in
impassioned tones:
There are 44,00O,OOO Italians
against 100000 Albanians, but
there will be heroic resistance. and
when our men are dead the Italians
will have to face our women"
He angrilv telegraphed to Pre-
mier Mussolini of Italy:
1--WE prefer death to dishonor."
Albanian regulars, gendarmes and
angered vigllantes were convinced
Mussolini intended to incorporate
their country into the Italian en-
pire.
King Zog was believed to have
made peace overtures to Italy, but
apparently he had little hope of an
acceptable answer, for he broad
cast an appeal to his people to
fight to the last drop of blood for
Albanian independence"
