~ E 10 BE CANDIDATE World-Telegram Says For mer Governor Is Preparing Statement. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. February 3.—The World-Telegram says the possibility of Alfred E. Smith seeking the presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in June appeared greater yesterday when it was learned Mr. Smith had prepared a statement of his Intentions. Tlte date of release of the statement will be decided, the pap r says, at a conference of leaders opposed to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, an avowed can didate. It was said to be unlikely that any thing would be made public prior to the re*urn from Florid i of John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Smith Won't Comment. At Mr. Smith's office it was said he did not tare to comment on the story. There was speculation as to whether tli" reported announcement would be made public before the New Hampshire primary early in March, at which sup porters of both Smith and Roosevelt will be candidates for membership in the State's delegation to the national convention. In a radio address last night former Gov. Smith said victory in within reach of tlie Democratic party, "which today is the majority party." He said the winning of the 1932 elec tion is possible because of the work done for two and a half years In Wash ington under the leadership of Chair man Raskob. "If you let some one keep telling you that as long as the Republican party is running things there'll be a car in every garage and everlasting prosperity, you get to believe it after a while," he said. **That is. unless you know the other side of the story." 7,000,000 Republican Loss. He said the Democrats had remained th minority party until the Spring of 1929 because they were not equipped to tell this "other side of the story." In the 1930 elections, lie said, on a basis of a compilation of the popular vote, the Democratic candidates re ceived nearly a 2.000.000 plurality in the 37-State-wide contests—"a Republi can loss of more than 7.000.000 votes, as compared with the 1928 campaign.” His address was devoted almost en tirely to a plea for funds for the Demo cratic "victory" campaign. He said Illinois has raised $50 000. Maryland, $10,000; Indiana, $7,000; New Mexico had topped its quota, and good reports had been received from Florida, Cali fornia and some other States. • BRITISH SEE PLOT AGAINST SPEED KING Sir Malcolm Campbell Denies, 1 However, That Longer Runs at Daytona Beach Are Dangerous. Uv the Associated Press. NEW YORK. February 3—Another i'-.t rnatior.al controversy, this one over the sportsmanship of Americans, was ],. • eipitated by the London Daily Herald vi terday as Sir Malcolm Campbell sniled for New Y’ork and Daytona Beach, Fla , to attempt to raise his own world automobile speed record of 245,733 miles an hour.

Marshal Walter Paul was wounded in the leg by the robbers’ bullets. The bandit car, which carried New Mexico license plates, bore the name of Robert Morse, believed to be the name of the dead man, since it was found on a card he carried.
