Vice-Presidential Nominee
Says He Has Hopes for
New Yorker's Aid
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-(IP)-Be-
hind the closed doors of Al Smith's.
skyscraper office, Speaker Garner
and the "Happy Warrior" conferred
for nearly an hour today over the
Roosevelt-Garner campaign.
"I have hopes he will support the
ticket," said Democracy's weather-
beaten Vice Presidential nominee, as
he came from the room smiling, "Ac-
tively," he later added.
"But let him speak for himself,"
the Texan said quickly when asked
for details of their conversation.
Forty-five minutes after Garner
had left, Smith came from his office..
His jaw was squarely set. His cus-
tomary smile was missing.
In closely-clipped words he an-
swered all questions concerning the
conference with this statement:
"About everything that took place
with Garner I have not a single
word to say-not a single word."

Years at Summer
Home Aided Cristy
In Olympic Race
Jim Cristy, '34, University swim-
ming star who placed third in the
1500 meter Olympic finals last Satur-
day, didn't get his ability lying on
the dock acquiring a good tan.
Near Clarkston, Mich., the Cristy
family have a summer cottage and
since he was 12 years of age, Jim
has considered the day incomplete
when he did not paddle across the
lake.
He is a resident of Ann Arbor and
during his junior year in, the Uni-
versity High school was instrumental
in forming the school swimming
team. During the next two years he
was rarely defeated in the interschol-
astic 220-yard swim. For the past
two years he has been a counsellor
in Matt Mann's camp during the
summer.
In Saturday's race, he was about
20 seconds behind the two Japanese
swimmers who took first and second
but his time of 19:39.5 was ahead
of the former Olympic record. Clar-
ence (Buster) Crabbe, Cristy's rival
who defeated him in the trials and
was the only other American to place
in the finals, took a poor fifth in
20:07.7.

.Asks Furnit ure
For New House
Will Sign Lease Today;
12 to Move in When1
Project Is Approved
A plea for old rugs, beds, chairs,
and text-books to equip the Michigan
Socialist house was voiced last night
by members of the Socialist club.
Meanwhile, negotiations have con-
tinued for the rent of a suitable
house and it was expected last night
that the lease would be signed this
morning. Should the lease be signed
and the house approved by Univer-;
sity authorities, at least 12 students
will move into the house Saturday.
Shoe-repairing, b a r b e r i n g, and
laundry will be done by members of
the house as a part of the three-
hour a week contribution of work
which will be demanded in addition
to the two dollar charges for room
and board. More than 20 persons
have definitely stated their intention
of joining the project.
Members continued to point out
that the new project will not effect
the Ann Arbor rooming situation for
only those students who could not
return to school under other circum-
stances will be admitted.
In addition to the furniture, club
members asked in particular for glass
jars in which to store canned toma-
toes and asked that any contributors
call O. Bridge at 6675. The loan of
furniture for 'six months would also
be appreciated, members said.

Shooting questions rapidly at the
mayor, Roosevelt pressed him on
what he had done to locate Sher-
wood, for whom Samuel Seabury,
Hofstadter committee investigator,
issued a subpoena to testify.
Sherwood disappeared last August,
three days after the subpoena was is-
sued. It was served on him at Mexico
City. 1 e ignored it. Walker said the
police searched diligently for him.
Roosevelt read from the investiga-
tion record that a letter of credit
was given to the "unknown person"
by Sherwood in the spring of 1931
and that it was increased from time
to time during the summer. The
mayor said he knew nothing about
the credit letter.
Audience Anxious
"I do know that Sherwood handled
income tax matters for the unnamed
person and an examination of her
accounts would show she had several
bank accounts in the city."
That was the first indication that
the mystery person was a woman.
Later the governor asked, "was she a
friend of yours," and Mr. Walker
replied "yes."
"You know of any reason why
Sherwood should have arranged this
letter of credit for her," was the next
question.
"No, except that he handled other
matters for her as was brought out
yesterday," the Mayor replied.

ALBANY, Aug. 16.-(OP)-Leaning
forward across his desk, Gov. Roose-
velt turned today the full force of
his examination of Mayor James J.
Walker on ouster charges toward an
explanation of why the mayor failed
to get in touch with Russell T. Sher-
wood, the missing accountant, who
reputedly handled financial transac-
tions of nearly $6,000,000.
On the stand for the fourth day,
Walker steadfastly maintained . he
didn't know Sherwood's whereabouts,
that he had made every effort to get.
in touch with him, and that his re-
lations with Sherwood were only
routine business affairs.
Outside the "Hall of Governors,"
where the hearing was in progress, .
Walker was asked if the "unknown
person" whose receipt of $41,000
from Sherwood has been mentioned
were Betty Compton, the actress,
Evades Question
"Who do you suppose it was?" was
Walker's reply.
On the witness stand, Walker dis-
claimed authorizing Sherwood to is-
sue a letter of credit, or to transfer
stock in the Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit company ot the "unknown
person." He said the "unknown per-
son" was a woman and a friend of
his.

Or Choose Some Other Pastime.

struction in an indoor ring, and the
other is by individual lessons taken
outside when the beginner's horse is
controlled by means of a leading
rein. The average rider can master
the rhythm of posting in three or
four lessons, but to do this in good
style and to sit in one's saddle at
the canter takes many hours of con-
centrated practice.
To be a rider and to be a horseman
may be two very different things. A
rider merely has to stay on his
mount, but a horseman is one who
can do this with perfect ease and
who has the ability of making his
horse do what he wants. A horseman
always considers his mount as he
knows abuse is fatal besides being
