ner as the only other aspirant whose
friends still insisted that his name
would be placed in nomination. One
Garner supporter said, however, it
was entirely possible that once
President Roosevelt's name had been
put officially before it, the conven-
ton might storm down any other
nominating attempts.
There was considerable doubt as
to the stand likely to be taken by
Postmaster General Farley, since
some members of the Massachusetts,
delegation nominally pledged to him
have publicly advocated that the
President run for a third term.
Senator Herring of Iowa, a can
didate for the Democratic vice pres
idential nomination, said he would
open convention headquarters at
Chicago Friday. He said he had
not yet chosen campaign manager,
but declared several Democrats
from various parts of the country
would be active in his behalf.
Among them, he said, are former
Assistant Attorney General Joseph
keenan,, Washington; Ray Murphy,
New York insurance executive and
former Iowa insurance commissioner
and American Legion commander;
Justice Richard Mitchell of the Iowa

Bandit Who Crashed Dinner
For WiIIkie Leaves No Clues

The mystery Of the robbery of
Representative Cluett Of New York
after the Willkie dinner here Mon
day night was still unsolyed to-
day.
Police, getting late start on the
case, had no clues to the identity
of the friendly young bandit who
took advantage of Representative s
election-year affability to obtain $50
and watch.
The delay in reporting the holdup
was explained today when Mr..
Cluett told police he had not called
them in because he assumed the
hotel had reported the incident.
Hotel authorities said they thought
Mr.. Cluett had reported it.
Mr.. Cluett said he was attending
the banquet given by Republican
congressional leaders for Wendell
Willkie at the Willard Hotel when
young man entered the banquet
hall and took seat next to him.
The man introduced himself as
"Mr. Allen of Roanoke, Va" and

stamped impression of Mr.. Collins
signature.
Several members who talked with
newsmen said they had no informa-
ton about the source of the film,
but Mr.. Starnes asserted that it
obviously" was passed through the
German censorship.
Representative Lewis, Republican,
of Ohio interpreted the film as an,
attempt to propaganda Congress
for the purpose of causing larger
appropriations, but said he was not
yet ready to fix responsibility. He
said his attitude was one of re-
sentiment"
Mr.. Reed declared: THE fact that
this picture was made available by
one of the totalitarian governments
at this particular time looks to me
like there is too close connection
between the warlords and war
mongers who stand to share the
fruits of appropriations that result
from the showing of such pictures
as this"
Representative O'Toole, Democrat,
of New York said the film was
purely German propaganda" and
added: 81 can't understand why we
we're invited to see it. I don't
know whether the reason was to in
still in our minds the glory and ef-
ficiency of the German military
machine or put fear In U.s."

rancher, far too fast for him.

British Hail Choice
OF Duke Of Windsor
As Bahama Governor
Former King Viewed
AS Goodwill Envoy
To New World
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 10--The British
press and public exhibited satisfac-
ton today at the appointment of the
Duke of Windsor as governor and
commander in chief of the Bahamas
The news apparently appealed to
the romantic side of most Britishers
who saw their former King in the
role of goodwill ambassador to the
New World.
The Duke and Duchess were still
at Cascais, suburb of Lisbon, Por-
tugal, today. They expected to re-
main there several days, awaiting
instructions from the British gov
eminent.
Newspapers published lengthy de-
scriptions, accompanied by maps
of the islands off the Florida Coast
where the Duke and Duchess will
reside.
Called isles of Pirate Gold"
The Mail pictured the Bahamas
as isles of pirate gold" and the
playground of rich Americans. An
Exchange Telegraph news agency
dispatch from Nassau said the pop
ulation of the islands welcomed the
Dukes appointment with enthus-
iaSm.
Appointment Held Significant.
The only editorial comment ap-
peared in the London Times, which
said
THE West Indies as a whole may
well receive the news as full of well
come significance at time when
events in Europe and the friendly
interest of their great neighbor in
the North have demonstrated their
high importance in the interna-
tional reckoning"
The Times recalled the previous
openings for service taken by the
Duke and added:
Another has been found in one
of the oldest and most honorable
appointments under the crown
Others no doubt rank higher in
formal dignity and in extent OF
jurisdiction. Even if that measure
be applied, the greater the honor
done to an historic colony and the
greater the credit due the Duke him
self"
Departure Date Not Disclosed.
The Duke and Duchess fled to Lis
bon last month from their home in
France ahead of the Nazi invasion
1t was presumed they would go d.
rectly to the Bahamas, although the
date of their departure was not dis
closed.
The post which the Duke will as
sumo carries salary of about $12,-
900 year. He will succeed Sill
Charles Cecil Farquharson Dundas
who will become Governor of the
Uganda protectorate in Africa.
The Duke has paid two visits tc
! England since he gave up his crown
December 10, 1896, to marry 'the
woman I love-" Last September IL
nine days after Britain entered the
war, Windsor returned home at the
bidding of his brother, King George
and returned to France September
% in the role of laison officer be-
tween the French and British Ar
mics. He returned again to Britain
January for a two-day visit.

Is Costly Motor Boat Prizes
Gathering Dust in New York

can Power Boat Association recently
spent most of an evening in New
York counting the inventory of its
43 cruiser and speedboat trophies
and bewailing the fact that only
80 are in active annual competition
while IS are awaiting the appear
ance over the horizon Of some
responsible yacht club or power
squadron committee to take them
in hand and offer them to new
mug hunters who have good, fast
boats, a knowledge of seamanship
and navigation and would like to
show of to admiring friends
evidence Of their victories.
The A. P. B. A. is prepared to
consider changing conditions and
specifications, If need be. One valu-
able bauble, for instance, is the
Colonel Green Star Island Trophy,
which was intended for amateur
outboard racing at Miami. The
code almost sounds grotesque these
days In the light of 70-mile- -hour
outboard driving. It actually spec
ifies that boats capable of less than
IL miles an hour shall not complete
Also there are several cruiser
trophies originally intended for or
shore going. One called for q
course that would take motor yachts
100 miles at sea.
