Washington May 12 The latest hope of some anti Roosevelt Democrats is Owen D. Young. The tall lean smiling prince of industry has reappeared in the Democratic presidential picture as the man around whom Eastern Democrats may join forces. He is being talked up in various sections. In the Middle West some influential Democrats have been informed of a movement to make him the candidate of the Smith Raskob group which is determined to block Roosevelt. In New York the leading newspapers have printed reports of activity for Young among the Smith group. The Little Falls Evening Times editorial says Young would if called by his party to be standard bearer, thrust aside personal inclinations and accept. Advance proofs of this were deleted, and it is regarded as an authoritative expression.
