Bryan Enters Race; Panic Seizes Party! font tuned from pace t or Bryan's followers put their hands up j ia a state fight, doing this thing? ; That question was :;sked in some bitterness by many Democrats to-night ! on hearing the news. No official answer j U given wat question, but one definite ? thing has happened. Bryan is support- ! ing Senator Hitchcock for Democratic i leader intha Senate against Oscar W. Underwood. It normally would be a choice of two evils with Mr. Bryan, ! since he has cordially hated both men j and both stand against every issue he holds dear, almost without exception. But. if Senator Hitchcock willed it, he probably could prevent Mr. Bryan being elected a delagate to the conven ; tion. He did it, or his friends did, in 5916. Brvan and his friends fear the Senator could do it again. They did 1 not want to take any chances. So ; Joseph W. Golk waived the olive branch nnd the pair got together. Mr. Hitchcock does not want Bryan to be nominated by the Democrats. He professes not to want the nomination himself, and he is effacing himself as a candidate in sending word to hi? fol? lowers that he will not oppose the dele? gation being for Bryan. His attitude, frankly, is not that of a convert to Bryanism. He opopses vigorously Bry ? Have you seen the 1920 Sedan? Everybody says it's a masterpiece.

But he is in possession of almost everything Nebraska can give him po? litically, and he is inclined to think that it would smack of a spite fight if he put his organization through a po? litical battle just to beat Bryan, with no resulting advantage to himself, but with a reopening of all the old sores and enmities in the state. Dark Horse Theory "Besides, it may be a good thing foi the party to have Mr. Bryan at the convention lambasting everything in sight," Said a devoted follower of Mr, Hitchcock. On which some of the D?mocrate build a theory to account for Mr Hitchcock's strange avoidance of ? fight with Bryan. "If Bryan should carry out his owr program," said one Democratic Sena? tor, "and should knock off every heac that appeared, during a long and try? ing convention, as it would most surelj be, there would come a time wher either Bryan himself would be nom? inated or we would be looking about for a dark horse. Wouldn't Mr. Hitch cock be far more likely to be selectee in that manner than if he were t straight out candidate from the first Bryan would be worn out. In addi tion, the Bryan men, if not Bryai himself, would be bound by the firs laws of gratitude not to be so bitte in attacking Hitchcock. Thus Bryai might be forced into the same pocke he occupied in 1912, when, after jump ing to Wilson from Clark, he failed t head off Wilson and became the nomi nee himself."

Eleven'Whisky' Indictments Sought To-day 1,000 Gallons of Poison Alcohol Received Here in Ten Drums, Alleged Confession Discloses Prisoner Implicates Many Empty Containers Filled With, Water and Shipped to England, Is Charge Joseph Mulqueen Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, to-day will ask for the indictment of eleven men on a charge of conspiracy in connec? tion with the sale of wood alcohol as a beverage. The Federal authorities are con? tinuing their investigation of the cir? culation of poison "whisky" through the Eastern states. William H. Wol ler jr., a truckman, of 405 Tenth Street, Brooklyn, was arrested yes? terday. He was held in $100,000 bail by United States Commissioner Reif schneider. Cosimo d'Ambjrosio, an Italian, who was arrested in the Cats kills Saturday, was held yesterday in $25,000 bail by United States Commis? sioner Hitchcock. Water Substituted According to the Federal authori? ties, Woller declared that on Decem? ber 10 he received an order to go to the Sutherland International Dispatch Company offices and from there to Pier 15, North River, where he re? ceived ten drums, each containing 100 gallons of alcohol. He took these drums to his garage, it is said. D'Ambrosio, according to Woller's alleged confession, took a quantity of alcohol from one of the drums and carried it to 84 Court Street, Brook? lyn. Later, it is said, the alcohol in the remaining drums was emptied into twenty-one barrete and the irums filled with water. "The drums were shipped to England on the steamer Piegunna. The wood alcohol re? mained in New York. Part of the supply, it is said, later was shipped into Connecticut and Massachusetts and put on sale as "whisky," causing the death of scores of persons. Besides implicating d'Ambrosio, Woller's story, according to the Fed? eral authorities, also implicates John Romanelli, a Brooklyn undertaker, and Samuel Saleeby, a druggist, both of whom were arrested last week. Romanelli, Saleeby and Edward G. Ware, Saleeby's brother-ki-law, were arraigned yesterday afternoon before Commissioner Reifschneider on s charge of selling alcohol in violatior of the law. They were held in $100, 000 bail each for examination January 7. Mrs. Saleeby, who was in the court room when her husbanad was ar raigned, fainted. . Christmas Tree Camouflage Revenue agents in Newark said yes terday they were convinced that whisky was smuggled into New Yorl and other cities in Christmas tree; during December. The revenue men declared that thou sands of trees were shipped fron I Canada and when they reached the ? American side the whisky was taken ? out and the trees sent to the dealers. : More trees were on the market in j December than ever before, acocrding I to the agents. | Cadillac Power Plant Shown in Operation Following a yearly custom inaugur? ated back in the single-cylinder days, the Cadilac Motor Car Company again provides one of the most interesting features of the national automobile -.-J-1 show by exhibiting a cut-open power plant of the current model car, the type 59 eight cylinder Cadillac. Great ingenuity has been displayed in dissecting engine and transmission, so as to expose every working part and show its actual functioning when the engine is in operation. The fine craft manship of the machining, fitting and finishing of the parts is graphic evi? dence of the fckill and precision in? sisted upon in the manufacture of the Cadillac. Cadillac changes for the coming year may be characterized as refine? ments or progressive improvements. The single unit motor generator furnishes a greater output of curfent at ordinary driving speeds. This few unit closely resembles the generator 'developed for. the Liberty engine of war-time fame ,and is one' instance of "aircraft design which has helped the motor car. On Long, Fiat Springs The riding qualities of the new Nash Four are assured, according to officials of the Nash Motors Company, because of the unusually long, flak springs with which the car is equipped. r n*,iiiiiiinmituiiniiiimmpTii1fti^iiiM,|,m.f...|||n NOTE.

Visit the Lobby of the Commodore Hotel See the New Marmon Motor Torn Down and Rebuilt in 1 Hour and 45 Minutes by Two MenJ Special Marmon Demonstration in the Main Lobby of the Commodore Hotel. Three Times Daily. Mornings at 10. Afternoons at 2:3 o. Evenings at 8. r? building aircraft engines for the govern? ment daring the war, this organization de? veloped construction methods new to the world of practical motor car production. And it is by these methods that we attain in the new Marmon Motor the extraordinarily dose ^mechanical limits"?the extremely high degree of accuracy and preciseness that was achieved for the first time in a practical way in the wartime manufacture of aircraft engines. An amazing demonstration To folly demonstrate the practical appli? cation of these new construction methods, we are giving a unique demonstration during show week in the main lobby of the Com modore Hotel. At this exhibit, two men will tear down and completely rebuild a Marmon Motor in one hour and forty-fias minutes. This demonstration is made to show the great accuracy attained in manufacturing of parts, rather than to make claims for g e?t speed in tearing down and rebuilding engines. So accurately is each part msde in relation to every other part that perfect fits are obtained, and hand-fitting made a thing of the past. During these demonstrations a detailed explanation will be given. These demonstrations will be given three times a day, every day during the automobile show. Mornings at 10 o'clock; afternoons at 2:30; evenings at 8. All during the day and evening the Marmon Motor and the various parts will be on dis? play at this exhibit in the Commodore Hotel Lobby. Factory experts will be present to explain in detail the parts, the new methods of production, and how each result is obtained. Dont miss this greatjeat Obviously all cannot purchase Marmonsat this time, but regardless of the car you will eventually buy, you should not miss the opportunity of witnessing this very interest? ing and educational demonstration* of our wonderful mechanical achievement. ?i.
