SMITH DEFEATS HEARST IN N. Y. Al Smith Nominated for Governor of New York Democrats Friday I ulted Presu Staff Correupundrnt Syracuse, N. Y.. Sept. 30. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —Having nominated Al Smith for governor and Di. Royal S. Copeland for United States senator, tielegates to the democratic state convention dispersed today, wondering whether the organization is going to be split by W. R. Hearst. Hearst withdrew when it became apparent that Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall was determined to support Smith. Mayor Hylan of Nev; York, strong Hearst supporter, withdrew as a delegate immediately afterward —virtually bolting the conven-tion—-and left the city. Hearst in his telegram of withdrawal declared he would not run for office on a reactionary ticket. This was believed to have opened the way for him to run as an independent. Although it was learned on good authority that Murphy had believed he could placate Hearst by adopting his platform and allowing him to name the candidate for XT. S. enator, i nomination the publisher desired for himself, it became known this morn ing that Hearst had nothing to do with the naming of Royal S. Cope land, who is health commissioner in Mayor Hylan's official family in Nev York City. (Continued on page five)

COURT FREES HARRY POULIN Sensational Paternity Case Ended at South Bend Today by Decision South Bend, ind., Sept. 30—HarryPoulin. South Bend haberdasher, accused of being the father of the third child of Mrs. Augusta Tiernan, wife of a Notre Dame professor, was today discharged by the court which heard the evidence. The court declared he did not want to question the legitimacy t of the child. The long decision flayed Mrs. Tiernan and Poulin for their actions and declared that they showed “no refinement . ” The decision held that the state failed to prove that Tiernan could not be the father ot the baby. Tiernan announced that he would appeal the decision to a higher court. The case was one of the most sensational in the history of the country. The hearing was marked by dramatic clashes ami demonstrations by the spectators, demonstrations which became so tumultous that the court was forced to exclude the public from the last sessions. Twice Mrs. Tiernan jumped from her seat and branded statements of he defense as “lies." Once she hurl'd her handbag at Poulin. Prof. Tiernon hurled the bomb inci South Bend society several weeks igo when he swore out a warrant charging that Poulin was the father of Mrs. Tiernon's 10 months old baby. •Poulin denied the charges. When the hearing was called, scores of men, women and children stormed the court room in an effort to hear ’he case. Many were turned away. Mrs. Tiernan was the state’s star witness. The story she told from the stand was the old, old tale of a wife succumbing to the blandishments of a dapper young man while her husband was engrossed in his work. Briefly the story as told by Mrs. Tiernan was as follows: The Tiernans met Poulin at a dance. Tiernan was busy writing a book. Poulin made desperate love to Mrs. Tiernan. She finally yielded to his demands and upon his suggestion refrained front living with her husband as a wife. Several weeks elapsed and Mrs. Tiernan realized that she was in a ■ delicate condition. She returned to he.r husband who never had any suspicions that the child, which was born later, was not his own. The months drifted by and Poulin’s love turned cold. One day he snubbed Mrs. Tiernan in public. Mrs. Tiernan confessed to her husband. Prof. Tiernan, on the stand, substantiated his wife’s story and also told of the efforts he made to settle the matter out of court. He declared that Poulin admitted that he was the father of the child, but refused to make any settlement for its support. Poulin and Mrs. Poulin denied the charges in detail. From the stand both alleged that they attended church on every occasion when Mrs. Tiernan stated that she was with Poulin. In rebuttal the state presented two witnesses, one of whom declared that Poulin did not attend tile church services, the other told of seeing Poulin at a concert which the latter said he did not attend. The climax of the trial was reached during the closing arguments when defense attorneys branded Mrs. Tiernan as a woman “who had sacrificed the right to the sacred halo ot motherhood. ” (Continued on page five)

BRITISH AGAIN ORDER TURKS TO EVACUATE Two Nations on Verge of War in Near East Neutral Zone Today PEACE DOOR CLOSED Situation in Near East Gets More Grave as Leaders Exchange Notes < I ikltvd Pr?MN Service.> Constantinople, Sept. 30. — (Special to Daily Democrat! With British and Turks on the verge of war in th) neutral zone. General Harington, British commander in chief, dis,etched a new demand to Mustapha i,< mal today that he evacuate the f’hanak area. The dispatch of the fresh ultimatum followed the receipt of an ultamatum from Kemal in which he demanded that the British evacua’e the Aiatic side of the straits. Kemal’s note was considered decidedly hostile. One higlt British official stated that the note had closed the door to peace. The allies are also in receipt of Kemal’s acceptance of the invitation to meet in a preliminary peace parley at Mudania. This note was hostile in tone also, and demanded that both eastern'and western Thrace be evacuated at o.n e and turned over to the Turks In making this demand, Kemal aggravates to a greater degree the ab ready tense situation. In the a'lies peace proposal dispatched a w. el; ago, Kemal was promised eastern Thrace as far as the Maritiza river Thus Kemal not only wants th > portion promised but demands the western section also. The fact that this is the last dav for the evaluation of tw > h-mdred thousand Christians in Asia Minor added to the gravity of tl.e sit'l'-ion. Disorder Is Feared Officials were fearful lest disorders break out in connection with tho evacuation and that harm would Defall those who are not able to leava Asio Minor at once in keeping with the demand of Kemal who stated ha would not be responsible for the welfare of I'hristians wno rtnmined alter today. Although the Turkish nationalist leader has been asked for an extension of time, no word was forthcoming. It was pointed out that it will be an impossible feat to evacuate all the Christians in the short time allotted by Kemal. Only one ray of hope was seen in the otherwise gloomy situation. It was hoped that Franklin Bouilon, French envoy, who is now in conference with Kemal, would induce him withdraw from the zone. British Make Firm Demand Ixmdon, Sept 30—Kemal must evacuate the neutral zone before near eastern peace will be discussed t was understood here today. The latest demand of the leader of the Turkish nationalists that Great Britain withdraw from the Asiatic side of the straits will be met by a firm refusal, it was unofficially stated. Kemal, who made the counter demand when the British ordered him to withdraw from the neutral zone, was described by officials as “defiant." The gravity of the situation was brought home to the public by head lines in the conservative press stat ing that Great Britain was "On the verge of war." It was authoritatively announced that Gen. Harington at Constantinople had dispatched an ultimatum to Kemal ordering hint to evacuate tlie zone. It was understood that Harington set no time limit. Preparations for the actual clash in Asia Minor were going forward here. The British government is optimistic tliat it has enotfch men and ships in the Dardanelles area to resist successfully any hostile move by the Kemalists.
