New ^ ork Rumors Couple A1 Smith ^ ith C. W. Brvan Brennan of Illinois Said to Be Favoring Combination of Fast and M est Governors. Special Olapatch to The Omaha He*. New York. June fi.—Along with the growing invasion of the city by demo cratic political leaders preparatory to the convention there has come an insfstant report that Governor Smith's boomers had settled on Gov ernor Charles W. Bryan, brother of William Jennings Bryan as a run ning mate for New York's choice. Governor Brian is himself a candi date for first place on the ballot, a candidate of the “favorite son” variety and among the leaders who are said to he supporting him Is George 13. Brennan of Chicago. Bren nan however, has heen pretty definite ly lined up with the Smith contingent so that «. coupling of the two alleg iances may not be altogether unlikely. Walsh for Chairman. Fanciful as the notion of Governor Bryan's taking a second place on the Smith ticket may he. It Is said to be certain that the roll call will find him and the 1a other votes from Nebraska In the anti McAdoo camp. Governor Brysn's own candidacy will he enough. It is thought, to keep Ne braska's delegates away from Mc Adoo on the early ballotE and when the break does come the Smith man agers feel confident that they will not go to the former secretary of the treasury if for no other reason than by that time he will have been vir tually eliminated. Among the visiting western leaders, most of whom came to New York by way of Washington, It was generally conceded that Senator Walsh of Mon tana would he almost a unanimous choice for permanent chairman of the convention. He Is pxperted to prove acceptable to the McAdoo clan and the Smith backers agree that his choice would be a happy one. Both side* are confident that he would be entirely fair. Leaders Talk Platform. There was more than a suggestion among some of the McAdoo men that J. Bruce Keimer, vice chairman of the national committee would be a more acceptable permanent chairman, but his avowed McAdoo leanings are a handicap. There exist several possible con tingencies In which rulings by the permanent, chairman might swing the nomination, it is said. One in stance cited is that of instructed dele gations. The laws of the several states under which delegation* are instructed vary greatly and it might rest with the permanent chairman to decide how long a delegation must abide by the Instructions given It. The leaders are also talking plat form now with the convention lesa than three weeks off and the general opinion seems to be thet even for the democrats the League of Na tions is a dead Issue. Prohibition Is likely to be aide stepped with a plank calling for law enforcement but the klan problem will not be disposed of su easily, it is said. In fact among some it is thought that a spirited contest, second possibly only to the nomination fight, will be wager over the adoption of anti-klan plank. Mrs. Fontrin Gets Divorce. Columbus.
