Smith's announcement that he would be receptive to the Democratic presidential nomination has brought considerable confusion to Democrats in his home state and two bordering states—New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Selection of delegates, one of the greatest blocs In the country, will be spirited with many Smith workers seeking to control them. Today there appeared the following likelihood on the delegations: New York Uninstructed until convention time. Pennsylvania—Divided. New Jersey—For Governor A. Harry Moore in the early balloting fct Chicago. Chairman for Roosevelt It la a strange situation in New York. James A. Farley, chairman of the state Democratic committee, is out-and-out for Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, and is managing the Roosevelt campaign for delegates. Norman E. Mack, national committeeman, is un-announced as to his favorite, although he has been an occasional visitor at Roosevelt headquarters. He was an ardent Smith campaigner in 1928. Miss Elizabeth Marbury, Democratic national committee woman, declines to announce her preference. James W. Gerard, one of the prominent Democratic leaders in New York, has expressed the hope there will be no bitter fight over delegates. He added that both Smith and Roosevelt had the right to seek the nomination.

Tammany’s Hand Watched Prior to the Smith announcement, it was considered likely that the New York delegation would go to Chicago divided with three candidates, Smith, Roosevelt and Owen D. Young. This view has not been altered greatly. Leaders of the southern tier of counties recently pledged their support to Smith, but none is commenting since the Smith announcement. The primary is April 5. Many political observers believe there will be no great fight over selection of the delegation, but that the fight will come over organization when Tammany Hall may have a great deal of power. Mayor James J. Walker has indicated he will do nothing to guide Tammany’s position. John F. Curry, the Tammany leader, has remained silent, although he has been fairly friendly with Roosevelt. Jersey for Governor The situation in New Jersey also is somewhat obscured. Harry Heher, the state chairman, said: “New Jersey in my judgment is under Governor A. Harry Moore. He would make an ideal candidate. He has the capacity for the position and is a good campaigner.” Moore is a close friend of Smith. Frank Haguflf, the Jersey City boss and national committeeman, also is firendly to Smith. Hague, prior to the Smith announcement, said he would favor any one Smith favored. A special meeting of the state committee expected shortly will outline the state party's position. The primary is May 17. In Pennsylvania there Is the Roosevelt group, the anti-Roosevelt group and a group favoring Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland. No Smith campaign has been started, but one is expected to get underway shortly. A Finnish scientist is said to have Increased garden vegetable, fruit and grain crops 51 per cent by electrifying the soil in which they were grown. Terminals buried in the ground carried the electrical current through the soil. RELIEF from ECZEMA Why endure the pain and misery that always accompanies eczema?

JOLSON IS GREATER TODAY THAN EVER ] ‘The Wonder Bar’ Is a Different Type of Entertainment Which Just Fits the Mood of This Big Man. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN 1 REALIZED at 11:15 o’clock last night that A1 Jolson was a greater personality and a bigger artist than he has ever been. In checking up on my experience with this man, I have never seen the Jolson personality shine aa it did last night In “The Wonder Bar.” Not a person in the world could take this type of entertainment and do with it what Jolson is doing. When you enter the theater the works is on. Meaning that the night club presided over by Monsieur A1 is in operation.

Guests walk down the aisle, talking about the “cute little red chairs on the stage.” They walk on the stage. They start dancing, “drinking,” talking to the help or do what they want to. The orchestra is playing. Suddenly a telephone rings and Jolson comes down the aisle. Customers were still coming to their seats. Jolson turned buss boy to a couple back of me. He took the hat and coat of a man back of me. Then the fun started. In song and story in the background of this never changing or ever changing night club, Jolson reaches heights in song and story which he has never reached before. Take for instance the four girls who do a dance of more movements than I have ever seen in a sideshow. Take again the knockout qualities of Rita Montaner in the last act. Her singing stopped to show for a time. And Jolson aided in the halt.

Take the comic work of Elektra Pivonka as “the dying flamingo” in the last act. Here is the best dumb comedy work I have ever seen. Take the athletic work of the Mangini brothers. I have never seen anything to equal it. All of these things and many others are held together by the personality of A1 Jolson. He admits that he is just over a bad attack of the “flu.” Never has he worked harder or better than last night. His wit, I mean his laughing mind, never worked better than last night. He sang “Sonny Boy” and I cried again. He sang a Hebrew folk song and I cried and thought. Here is the biggest Jolson that I have ever met. I have seen him in every show since he became a star. “The Wonder Bar” is the mast satisfactory thing he has ever done. At English’s tonight, Saturday matinee and night.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCHOOL HEAD PRAISES MODEL HOMECONTEST Many Pupils Begin Work to Win Times’ Free Trip to Washington. The fifth annual miniature model house contest open to high school pupils, today was given the indorsement of Paul C. Stetson, city schools superintendent. The contest decidedly is worthwhile, he said, because of its development of the creative ability of pupils. “It puts into practical application what the pupils learn in the manual training department of the public schools,” he added. A trip to Washington, D. C., with expenses paid by The Times, will be awarded to winner of first place in the contest. Other prizes will be: Second place, $25; third, S2O; fourth, sls; fifthy, $10; sixth, $5; seventh to twelfth, $3 each, and ten certificates of merit. All Indiana high school pupils may compete, but grade school pupils are not eligible this year. Miniature houses entered will be displayed at the eleventh annual realtors’ home complete exposition

April 3 to 10 at the stato fairground. The contest is being sponsored by The Times in connection with the exposition. The houses are to be built on a scale in which one-fourth inch equals one foot They must be mounted on bases representing the lot, measuring exactly 18 by 36 inches. The bases should be of plywood or insulating board sufficiently rigid to withstand warping. While the models may be one or two stories in height, each must include living room, dining room,

Since the entries are to be judged to a large extent on originality of design and ingenuity ahown in developing it, the committee in charge of the contest, of which Ernest Spickelmeier is chairman, and J.
