By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. May 28.—Twenty-eight alleged speakeasies were raided by Fed eral prohibition agents last night in th» heaviest campaign of recent weeks and in their trail came persistent reports they were part of a concerted drive to "dry up" the city for the major politi- 1 cal conventions next month. However, Deputy Prohibition Admin istrator A. E. Aman described the raids and attendant arrests of alleged bar tenders and operators as "routine” and STEAMSHIPS. declared they had no connection with any pre-convention campaign. Other enforcement officials said the drives would not be abated. Only two of the 28 places entered last night were in the loop, the re mainder in outlying districts and the ruburbs. None was in proximity of the Chicago Stadium, where both the Dem ocrats and Republicans will hold their national rallies. Less than a month ago reports were circulated among speakeasy operators that a Federal drive to prevent liquor sales during the conventions was being instituted. Enforcement officials at Washington denied issuing any orders for such a drive, but half a dozen or more major raids have been staged here almost daily since then.
