KEY TO CITY IS
GIVEN CURTIS
BY SMITH AT
ALBANY, N. Y.
ALBANY, N. Y.—(UP)—With
two wekes to go before the votés
are cast, Governor Al Smith en
joyed Tuesday his last day of
ease, puttering around with the
“rare fowl and animals” of his
executive mansion menagerie and
finishing work on his DBoston
speech.
From. Wednesday at 10 a. m,
when his train pulls out for Bos
ton until the polls are closed two
weeks from Tuesday night, the
demoeratic nominee will bea push
ing the most intensive campaign
of his carcer, “the battle of the
Atlantic seaboard.”
The division of the 138 el ctoral
votes in these eight vital states,
from Maryland to Massachusetts,
probably will tell the tale of the
election. With thosc states and
even with a substantial majority
of them, Smith believes he can
win. Without them his cause is
lost.
His vlans have been announced
officially only as far as Bosten
where he will parade Wednesday
afternoon and speak that nigar,
but @ definite schedule for the
other cities is expected shortly.
Concentration of the full drive
on tha east was Smith’s o
strategy. Next' week his repub’.-
can opponent, 'Herbert Hoover,
will be moving towards the Pa
cific coast to cast his vote. Sen
ator Curstis, republican vice pres
idential candidate, who lis here
Tuesday, also will be going west.
The east will be left for Smith
to work on.
The governor indicated ha
would take no official notice of
Curtis’ invasion Tuesday of his
adopted town. Curtis has de
clined to speak at the noon d:7
meeting which is being staged in
his honor. “I shall give him the
key to the city,” Smith said, in
-dhn&:u, “the presentation wou'd
‘be theoretical rather than
actual. i
Smith listened in Monday night
to the New York speech of Ho
ver and expects to incorporate
his answer to Hoover’s argument
in the speech he is to make at
Boston.
‘The candidate found his men
agerie in good shape, except for
one dog, which is ill. |

It is Tulane that the Red and Black football aggrega

The occasion will be Homecoming Day when the

at the usual hour, 3:15, and an admission price of
$2.50 will be charged.
