GARNER SLOWS UP BANDWAGON OF ROOSEVELT Unexpected Triumph in California Rouses ‘Dark Horse’ Prediction. BY RAY TICKER Tim** Staff Writer WASHINGTON. May s.—An apparent veto power over the presidential nomination of Oovemoa Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York today rested in the hands of A1 Smith and the "favorite son” group as a result of the surprising victory won by Speaker John N. Garner of Texas in California's Democratic presidetnial primary. Interpreting the results chiefly in terms of its effect on the Roosevelt candidacy, national politicians held that it definitely slowed down his progress from a band wagon rush. Had he won California’s fortyfour votes, all his enemies combined would have found it almost impossible to scrape the votes to stop him

!at Chicago. Now they seem assured of enough to force a deallock. Gamer’s triumph, which was unexpected here, infused new life into : his candidacy, although few con- ! cede him much chance for the nomination yet. Democrat* on Capitol hill, including those hitherto favorable to Roosevelt, now talk more persistently of a compromise candidate, possibly a dark horse. Garner 45.000 Ahead Up I fiitrH Press SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. May 5 Speaker John N. Gamer was conceded today to have scored a sweeping victors’ in winning California's forty-four delegates to the Democratic presidential convention.
