MATE RATHER UNCOMFORTA.
BLE IN COMPARISON
HOUSTON, June 25. (JP)—'The Alas,
ka Delegation came to Houston today
strong for A1 Smith. While only three
Delegates arrived on the Western
States special train, Alaska’s qther
three Delegates will be named by
proxy by the delegation. One of these
is expected to be former Governor
Thomas Riggs wfto has signified his
intention of being here.
Delegates Hellenthal, Shonbeck and
Troy had a good trip but their train
was five hours behind schedule due to
the insistence of the Chambers of
Commerce of Kansas City where they
stopped for three hours to see sights
and at Dallas where they stopped one
and one-half hours to visit the city.
The Delegates will hold a caucus
Monday for the purpose of selecting
members to the National 'Committee
and to other important committees of
the convention.
John W. Troy of Juneau has been
asked to serve on the Platform Com.
mittee but as he served in that capac.
ity in New York four years ago he pre.
fers someone else to act.
The Alaskans found the Houston
wreather rather uncomfortable in con.
trast with their own.

(By General Nobile aboard the base
ship Milano)—“When yesterday mor*.
ing Lieut Lundborg landed near our
tent I told him he ought to take off
Oeccioni on the first flight, then Be_
houney, then Troeano and then me;
then Viglieri and Biagi.
“Lundborg refused and said he had
received orders' to take me off immed.
iately for I could give directions for
searching for the others.
My comrades also insisted so I was
forced agajinsjt the dictates of my
heart; also to avoid delay. At the
time of my departure Oeccioni was
well. I turned the direction of the
group to Vigieri and I hope to em
brace them soon.”
