FAIL TO PERSUADE GOVERNOR SMITH TO MAKE UNION SPEECH

A telephone message from C. P. Fordyce '23, Graduate Secretary of the Harvard Union, at 11 o'clock last night stated that there was but little possibility that Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, who arrives in Boston today, will come out to college, but that if the governor should change his mind notices to that effect would be posted in the Union and in Leavitt and Peirce's window.

Mr. Fordyce drove up to Manchester, New Hampshire, last night, in a final attempt to persuade Governor Smith to come and speak at the University.

Governor Smith has refused to speak at Harvard up till now because he will have but little available time and because he has always made it a strict policy to make but one address a day.
