Opposition to Smith Nomination Shifts After Withdrawals
Washington May 5 The anti Smith camp sees a setback as Senator Walsh Montana withdraws in favor of Smith, while Senator Reed Missouri vows to press on mainly to keep anti corruption issues in play for the Houston convention. Alabama's Heflin still resists, rallying behind Donahey of Ohio who isn’t a candidate. Walsh consulted McAdoo before his withdrawal. Reed’s fight continues with a clear stay intention. The Senate group plans to press hearings in Albany as presidential candidates testify on contributions and expenditures.

The U S Board of Tax Appeals ruled that Citizen Couzens will not owe the large $10,000,000 assessment tied to Ford stock profits. The board set March 1, 1912, Ford stock fair value at $10,000 per share, evaluating Couzens's sale of 2,280 shares for about $29.71 million. The government contended a higher value while Couzens argued the market price as estimated by the Bureau. The 1925 Jeopardy assessment of about $70,099 had reductions, with some abated already. The board ordered the remaining $4,466,304 to be abated.
