WINDSORS AREAT
SEA ON WAY HERE
New York May Not Even
Get Glimpse of Famous
Couple

Aboard American export liner Elk.
calibur, at sea, Aug. 2.-(UP)-The
Duke and Duchess Of Windsor, one
day out at sea with their encourage
and their four dogs, breakfasted at
8 a. m. today on their way west
ward to the Bahamas.
The day dawned clear and the
sea was smooth.
After the ship sailed yesterday,
under a clear sky, the Duke and
Duchess dined In their suite. Later
they wrote and dispatched radio
grams to friends.
At 1880 p. m. they took their
dogs, three Cairns and Sealyham,
for walk on deck. They retired
soon afterward.
N. Y. May Not See Them
New York, Aug. D. CUP - New
York may not get even SO much as
q glimpse Of the Duke Of Windsor
and his American born Duchess,
British sources said today.
The Duke and Duchess sailed
from Lisbon late yesterday in the
American export liner Excalibur, on
the way to the Bahamas where the
Duke Is to be governor and COM
mander in chief.
It was assumed that the Duke and
Duchess would come here, where
the ship Is due Aug. 8. But British
sources said that they would leave
the Excalibur at Bermuda and seek
other means Of reaching Nassau,
capital of the Bahamas.
American export line officials said
that they had no information Of an
intended stop at Bermuda but that
anything is possible" The ship
could touch Bermuda and still ar
rive here on time, they said and the
ships master has discretion to do
what he thinks fit.
Could Take New Ship
From Bermuda, two days sailing
distance from Nassau, the Wndsors
could take another merchant ship,
q British warship, q yacht or an
airplane, 1t was suggested here. The
Duchess has an aversion to airplane
transportation, however. There was
reported to be possibility that VIM
cent Astor, New York multi-mil-
lionaire, might make his big yacht
Nourmahal available. President
Roosevelt has cruised In 1t. During
the Dukes brief reign as Edward
VIII Astor was his guest in London.
At Lisbon yesterday. the Windsors
were last seen on deck, waving to
the crowd which cheered them as,
separately, they boarded 1t.
Fellow passengers were three
American diplomates-Williarn Phil
lips, ambassador to Italy; John Gu
daily, ambassador to Belgium, and
George Gordon, ambassador to the
Netherlands.
There was no indication whether
the British navy had provided q
shadow" escort for the Excalibur.
As II flies the American nag, for
NAL conveying would be IN violation
OF American neutrality but there
had been hints that British war;
ships might happen 10 be going the
same way at . taetful but effective
interval.

mice to the cat; save 'em for bait

like. Barn mice are fair, house
mice are good, and field mice with
big ears are the very best. we've

mice but they might work OUT.

Third Term Issue Due
For A Baptism Of Fire

size up the ABC,s of the third
term question:
A Roosevelt refusal to run
would tend to make the anti
third term precedent almost iron
clad.
A Republican victory over
Roosevelt likewise would greatly
strengthen the tradition, prob
ably lead to constitutional limi-
tation of presidential tenure.
Reelection of Roosevelt would
weaken the precedent since it
could be construed as indicating
majority of voters favored over
riding the tradition under certain
circumstances.
The historic argument against
a third term-the danger of per-
petuating power in the hands of
one man-still is the big argu-
ment.
Main contention of third-term
defenders has been-and still is
that in an emergency it may
be essential to the welfare of the
nation to permit a President,
supported by popular vote. to
serve a third time.
Didn't Maferialize
How much of a vote deter
minant the third-term issue will
. be is tough one to gauge. New
Deal achievements" and New
Deal failure" plus the appeal
of the Republican standard-besr-
er, will be much more i'm

Never Sought Before
A Roosevelt candidacy would

CHICAGO. July ls.-Demo-

order al noon today before 1000
delegates and thousands of spec
tators in the galleries at the Chi
cago Stadium. Only routine bust
ness was on schedule for the aft
ernoon session. with Mayor Ed
ward J. Kelly. of Chicago. TO
make the speech of welcome.
Tonight, starting at 900 o'clock,
things will get going when Ma
tional Committee Chairma n
James A. Farley will address the
convention to be followed by the
keynoter, Speaker William B.
Bankhead.
All signs point to a heading of
the Democrats toward renomina-
ton of Franklin d. Roosevelt as
the party's standard bearer in
the election campaign against
Willkie and McNary.
Behind the scene activity dur
ing the past two days has brought
out the manner in which Roose-
velt's managers will engineer
the nomination at this, the scene
of the Presidents first nOmina-
ton in 1882.
RoOsevelt'S name will not be
brought before the convention.
Despite efforts to provide no
competition, however, it appears
certain that John Nance Gamers
name and James Farley's name
will be presented. These prom
inent Democrats, together with
Burton K. Wheeler, prominently
mentioned as a third-party agi-
tator if ''the Democrats don't go
right in their platform, are Bit
ter antagonists of the third-term
precedent that is going to be set
when this convention is over.
The program is to let the con-
vention move into first vote with
out having the Presidents name
mentioned Then the vote for
Roosevelt. figured to be 700. ac-
cording to definite pledges re-
corded, will be cast, the proceed
ure amounting to a virtual draft.
Then, it is expected, Mr.. RoOse-
welt will address the convention,
probably via radio, and accept
the draft movement Following
the acceptance. or before, pos
sibly, move will be made to
make the vote unanimous.
A real fight is expected at the
convention over the vice-presi-
dental nomination. President
Roosevelt is said to favor three
men-Speaker Bankhead. pres
ent Secretary of State Cordell
Hull or Senator Byrnes. The con-
vention may consider two or
three others who may prove
semi-acceptable to the President.
Behind the scenes activity for
Roosevelt are being handled by
Harry Hopkins, secretary of COM
merce.
