Al Smith does not intend to raise his hand for the 1928 Democratic presidentiul nomination and will not let his workers seek abrogation of the twothirds rule, Senator Copeland, Dem.. N. Y., declared here today. In the face of continued silence from Albany and New York City over the Smith candidacy, Copeland explained the plans of the Smith group Although he spoke for himself, his eminence in the Smith forces was regarded as giving his remarks the authority of a definite protibuncement on what that group of the Democratic patty is thinking about and ,what it intends' to do. ith dot's not want abrogation of the two-thirds rule," the senator told the United Press. "He wants to be chosen by the rule which has prevail ed all along in Democratic national conventions. "1 think he is certain of a majorltj soon after the convention starts There will be a lot of favorite son; like Donahey of Ohio, Glass of Vir ginia. Walsh of Montana, Ritchie o. Maryland, Woollen of Indiana, am Phelan of California to start. A large portion of these favorite sou delegates will go to Smith before the con vention is very old. "When he gets a majority, 1 think the others will be shamed into voting for him.
