They are Henry C. Clark, pilot, and

They were trying out a new naval
hydroplane owned by Timm, when
Clark's trouser leg caught In the hori

Hundreds of persons on the edge of

M’ADOO TO RUN
AGAINST FIELD
tContlnned From Page One.)
McAdoo chiefs that democratic na
tional delegates are as a rule con
genially liberal and opposed to
sumptuary legislation of all kinds.
But the big chiefs realize that the
wet and dry issue is not enough.
And. as a matter of fact, It Is doubt
ful if the real leaders of ths facton,
who are now sitting in at the Smith
conferences, including George E.
Brennan, the ablest of sll the antis
here, really want the old days back.
They don't. While it helps to keep
the boys back in the trenches loyal
to the leaders in the hope that some
day the old brass rail and the saw
dust floor might return, the present
bootlegging era is by far the least
troublesome for the bosses. It cen
tralizes it, narrows it clown to a mere
handful, whereas in the old days in
the large cities they had many thou
sand well-to-do dealers to deal with
and not infreqlently they busted out
of the harness and smashed local
tickets.
Not that the bosses now- sre deal
ing with the bootleggers, but. that the
present epoch removes a lot of trou
ble that was hard to handle at times
under the old system.
Klan Bolts I'p.
So, while the "liberal" leaders, snd
those who are strong for "personal
liberty" are down here raising the
roof for Governor Smith, it doesn't
mean anything more than the prac
tical laboratory psychology of •>*
pedlent" politics. Perhaps Mr. Mc
Adoo isn't as dry as a first glimpse
of him w-ould indicate.
So much for the wet and dry issue.
Now we approach the real milk In
the cocoanut, and It may split the
country before the big show Is over.
That is the klan.
That the democratic parly In these
United States goes down to the grass
roots on religious liberty everyone
knows. It was .leeffrson himself who
laid that bedrock stone.
McAdoo, whether deliberately or
seeming to give consent by remaining
silent, hss allow-ed the hooded forces
in many stales to back him In his
fight with Senator Underwood for a
large bloc of delegates. And while
they have succeeded in pinning the
white ribboned insignia on hie lapel,
the anti-forces sre now desperately
engaged In the effort to corner Wil
liam Gibbs on the klan, thoroughly
convinced that on this Issue, If it is
successfully presented, Mr. McAdoo
ran he stopped dead In his trseks
about the second day of the balloting.
One Element of Hope
And that is the situation this laud's
day afternoon, on tho eve of the
foregathering In the Garden. Not
complicated at ail. Is It?
What may it* in the bark of Mr.
Brennan's head, no on# but Brennan
probably knows. But for the present,
he is working hand-in-hand with the
Smith generals. Is sitting In at their
conferences and helping to draft, the
Smith platform. It Is the first stage
of the general staff of the anti Mc
Adoo army.
So far as Smith's randldaoy goes.
It has one element of hope for some
of the lenders In the large cities, and
that Is that with him heading the
tleket, they rotild go back home and
be pretty certain that they would
tarry their local county tickets this
fall. They are convinced that the big
cities' population arc turning against
ths "tyranny" and "Intolerance" of
both the anti-rum forces and the Inter
ference generally with ths norms!
processes of everyday life by the fed
eral government. Smith is now
pretty well sold the country over In
the larger cities, they believe, ns a
“good fellow," "liberal," snd particu
larly who, owing to his signing of the
"nullification" hill passed by the New
Vork assembly, would loosen things
all along the line If he got a rhanre.
That Is another phase of ths labora
tory psychology of this laird's day

‘"Cruise of the Speejacks ’ Ended
in Wreck of Owner s Marital Craft
By \. J LORENZ,
Ynlversnl Service Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, .Tune 22.—The Idyllic
honeymoon a* dreamed by lovers was
theirs. A trip around the world In
their private yacht, sailing lar.lly
through the romantic South sea.
touching vivid oriental ports—50,000
miles of dream laden romance.
A. T. Oowen and his bride were the
subjects of envy In the hearts of
lovers.
The wealthy vice president of the
LeHIgh Portland Cement company
had fitted up his yacht, the "Spee
Jacks," as the Ideal honeymoon boat.
Two years, some of the days fraught
with danger, once when they struck
an iinchaeted reef off the Solomon
Tslands. another In a typhoon In the
China sea, a third when they were
lost off the Canary Islands, the
honeymoon crulae around the world
continued.
“How happy they must be," sighed
many a bride, content without even
a trip to Niagara Falla.
Rack in Port.
Then the Speejacks put into home
port, with a record of being the
smallest craft to circumnavigate the
globe.
The Oowens returned. But there
were rumors that the storms their
craft had weathered were not only of
the sea, but domestic squalls.
So Cowen left Immediately for New
York, His wife followed on another
train. They lived In separate hotels,
were reunited, separated again.
They moved, overland, to Cleveland
and established a home. Soon again
their friends heard they had sep
arated.
Yesterday the whisperings were
confirmed.
"Ciena CSnwen's sued for divorce,"
Chicago society heard.
The suit, brought In a Cleveland
court, prosalrally charges her hus
band with neglect. She asks
"equitable relief” In her divorce hill.
Belated Honeymoon.
While the Speejacks" cruise was
looked upon as a belated honeymoon
trip of the romantic couple, it was
learned that the Journey, taken
almost a year after their marriage
in New York, was a gallant attempt
on the part of Mr. Clowen to hold
the affectlona of his pretty wife, s
divorcee when he won her.
"Albert had a good Idea," one of
tfcetr friends said, "hut I guess it was
a mistake.
"Even newlyweds can't stand being
thrown together constantly for two
years, with hardly another person to
talk to.
"It might, read all right In the
atory books, bid—well, the (iowens
tried It. out. It looks like it's a
failure.’*
But lovers will still drum on of

A hectic week of conferences among
the leaders dosed last night with both
MeAdoo and Governor Smith claim
ing they can corral enough delegates
to be nominated, although an under
current of apprehension was visible
in both camps.
One line or the other must be
broken before either can be nominat

and a dark horse galloping out to

Favored Dark Horses.
The most favored dark horses
were John W. Davis, Senator
Samuel Ralston, Oscar W. Under
wood and David F. Houston, with a
dozen more trailing in the distance.
“I believe I will be the nominee,"
said Governor Smith In reply to a
question as to what he considered
his "real strength."
MeAdoo was equally confident. Aft
er remaining in seclusion since his ar
rival In New York, he received re
porters late yesterday In hts head
quarters atop the Vanderbilt hotel.
“Kverything Is moving satisfactor
ily as far »* we are concerned," he
said. “We are getting every encour

Missionary Work.
Starting today with the first
real movement of delegates Into New
York there was a period of mis
sionary work among the arrivals,
such ss has seldom been witnessed
st national conventions.
Both MeAdoo snd Smith msnsgera
have reduced this work to a scientific
basis. The delegates, their views,
their personal leanings, and where
obtainable, their personal histories,
have been card Indexed and cata
logued snd they will be "seen" by the
representative#i of both in a matter
of hours after their arrival. By open

stand.

Such is the analysis which Bishop

"The root of most of our troubles

which marriages are made,” said
Bishop Summer.
“I know the young married people

serious problems before the nation to
day, political conventions notwith
