Miguel Maria de la Mora, Bishop of San Louis Potosl, who came out of hiding to talk witli a group of American correspondents.

Mons. de la Mora, who is spokesman for the Catholic bishops living in nlding in Mexico, expressed the opinion that Obregon's assassination has only delayed, not defeated, efforts to settle the Mexican religious controversy. He met the correspondents by arrangement at a rendezvous near Mexico City. The Drelate declared that not mnr than 12 Catholic priests participated military movements against tne Government, and that they have done entirely of their own Initiation. The majority of these priests weni, with the rebels as chaplains and did not carry arms, he said, adding that no archbishop, bishop or priest has, witn the sanction of the Church, sus-'ained the rebel movement In any form.

Mons. de la Mora revealed that he is one of two Catholic archbishops and 11 bishops who have sought concealment In the country, of the 4,000 Mexican Catholic priests who were In the country at the time the religious controversy broke out, only about 40 percent remain, he said.

IN JERSEY MAY luim pnyrniini hli tn bflivirnibN Popular Receptions May Cause Candidate to Widen Speaking Tour. Gov. Smith's Speech Entered by McCooey For Prohibition Prize John H. McCooey wants to see Governor Smith get $25,000 for a Christmas present. The Democratic leader has entered the Governor's acceptance speech In the contest for the prize ollered by William C.

Duriint. auto manufacturer, for the bst plan for enforcing the Volstead Act. The contest ends Dec. 1. "I have already mailed to Mr.

Durant the part of the Governor's speech dealing with Prohibition," said McCooey today. "I am sure that is the solution to the problem and I am sure it will win the prize." A. O. Crozier, member of the National Republican Club, whose plan was among the first received yesterday by the contest committee in the Fisk Building, 57th st. and Broadway.

Manhattan, suggested the election of a dry President, strengthening of enforcement laws and the treating of drinkers the same as sell 'rs, giving both stilf punishment. The tremendous popular receptions nlven Governor Smith in New Jersey during the last four days are expected to be an important factor In enlarging the general outlie of the Democratic Presidential candidate's campaign itinerary. When the Governor went down to Spring Lake last Friday he favored a comparatively limited speaking tour, with a few well-chosen personal appearances. So great and so enthusiastic was the New Jersey turnout for him, however, that he is ready listen more sympathetically to his advisers' suggestions to Increase materially his stumping program, so that the maximum of voters throughout the country may have a look at him. The Governor and his party motored into New York early this morning via the Holland Tunnel, after another series of tumultuous demonstrations by midnight crowds in Elizabeth, Newark and other North Jersey cities along the route from Spring Lake.

Great throngs with torchlight flares waited hours for his coming. In Newark some 30,000 people packed around him at the City Hall, cheering and applauding. and motor horns raised a new pandemonium in the night. Governor Smith got out of his car. mounted a temporary platform and made a little speech of thanks to Newark and to New Jersey.

He said he had had "the greatest time of his life." More people had called him "Al," he said, than ever before in his life. It seemed, he explained, that the entire population of the Eastern States had been gathered In New Jersey to greet him. He was sorry lo leave and sorry he could not shake hands with every individual supporter. The speech the first outdoor statement as a Presidential candidate-made a tremendous hit with the crowd which whooped and yelled its delight as the Governor got back in his car and moved on toward New-York. Demonstrates Popular "Pull." The net political result of this Jersey excursion.

It is agreed at Democratic headquarters, is to demonstrate the tremendous popular "pull" of Governor Smith a "pull" the leaders are determined to use to the utmost in the campaign. Though may not bring about an Increase in the number of formal addresses to be delivered by the Democratic candidate, probably 15 or 20. It will, it is believed, cause him to make a larger swing through the country and show himself more often to Insistent crowds. Some of Smith's managers believe that about all he has to do to get votes is to exhibit himself and his smile and the people just fall into line for him. Further conferences with party leaders at headquarters on his campaign itinerary are scheduled for today for the Governor, when the Jersey demonstration will form the basis of discussion.

The National Committee wants to get this speaking trip, or at least the first part of it, into shape before Labor Day so that halls may be hired in advance, railroad schedules plotted and other arrangements made. The Governor will leave the city early tomorrow morning for Syracuse where he will attend a "Farm dinner' tomorrow night and the State Fair on Thursday, returning the end of the week to Albany. At Democratic National headquar ters attention was focused yesterday on charges voiced by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, a member of the advisory committee, the effect that a religious attack on Governor Smith throughout the South was secretly carried on by forces "very close to the Republican National Committee." Harrison strongly lnti mated that the Republicans were using the W. C. T.

the Anti-Sa loon League and Ku-Klux Klan to spread anti-Catholic propaganda ai st Smith in Dixie. The purpose of this campaign. Harrison said bitterly, was to arouse a religious prejudice against the Democratic Presidential candidate by a subtle "whispering campaign" of falsehood and misstatements. Senator Harrison said that loyal Democrats had mailed into headquarters samples of this propaganda which, he said, was the "worst of its kind" he had ever seen. MAN DIES ON STREET.

Washington, Aug. 28 While I Herbert Hoover was making his flve- weck trip to California to be notified of the Republican Presidential nomination, the Eastern political situation apparently has been seriously slipping out of control, with the result that Mr. Hoover Is now being begged by Eastern leaders to turn his personal attention to this Important sector of the Presidential fight. Such Eastern chieftains of the a. O.

P. as National Committeeman Charles u. Hllles of New York and Vice- Che irman Daniel E. Pomeroy of New Jers-ey nave gone Into conference with their party leader to explain to him conditions In New England and the Atlantic States and to try to make him see the necessity of personal appearances In this crucial area. Promises To Speak Here.

The upshot of these conferences Is a tentative promise from the Republican candidate to make a speech in iNcw York during the first two weeks in October. It Is also expected that he will go on to Boston for an address at the same time. Republican leaders have been frankly worried by the printed reports of the tremendous reception accorded Governor Smith in New Jersey over the weekend and are anxious to offset the effect of these demonstrations as soon as passible by several large Hoover gatherings in 'he same area. Holds Back Too Much. A feeling persists at Republican aational headquarters that Mr.

Hoo ver is "holding back" too much in the matter of his campaign and that consequently Governor Smith is get ting a running start on him In the Eastern territory at least. The criti cism is made that he has had two months to set up iiis campaign or ganization and that by Labor Day ne snoum be prepared to throw him self fully into the party fight. wiiuam h. Hill, chairman of the Hoover-Curtis campaign committee in New York, Is expected to have a conference in a day or so with Mr. Hoover with a view lo clinching the matter of a New Yotk speech by the candidate, rms address, it is expect ed, will probably be delivered in Madison Square Garden, the Metro politan Opera House or Carnegie Man.

Lammot duPont to Cast His Vote for Hoover Wilmington, Aug. 28 W) Within a few weeks after his brother, Pierre duPont, announced that he would support Governor Smith lor the Presidency, Lammot duPont an nounced in a statement made public today that his ballot In the November election would be cast for Herbert Hoover. Lammot duPont is president of E. I. duPont de Nemours Co.

and his brother, who held that office during the World War, is chairman of the board. They are cousins of Coleman duPont, Republican U. S. Senator from Delaware. Mr.

duPont's statement analyses the Prohibition Issue in the prcsen campaign and makes an appeal to business men to stand oy tne Kepuu llcan party "because under Republican government for the past eight years we have had prosperity and itnder Democratic administration we have had less prosperity and usually hard times.
