Washington, Sept.

26. (AP) Leaving behind it a trail of mort gaged homes, broken family ties and poverty, the lure ot quick ncnes from "unclaimed estates" in England again is sweeping the middlewest. DesD te repeated warnings ot tne state department that the so-called Drake estate and otner similar ruses to obtain money from Ameri can citizens are mythical, the depart ment has again been confronted with a flood of appeals from citizens seek ing assistance in collecting claims. For many years the practice of so liciting money from Americans to pay charges allegedly needed to obtain for them estate funds in England has been a favorite of confidence men. The matter has already been the subject of diplomatic correspondence between the state department ana the British foreign office, the latter emphasizing that such "unclaimed estates are myths.

Under the old system, the subject selected would receive a letter from England stating he had a just claim to part of an estate reacmng into many figures and asking that a sum of money be sent to cover the costs of pursuing the claim. The latest system, however, Is for the subject to be called upon directly and asked to "invest" in the estate, the promised return ranging from $1500 to $5000 for every $1 "invested," -fWip vmnn in Iowa recently wrote the state offering to assist in the proseOtion of those pursuing the scheme Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

Sept. 26. (AD By a vote of 733 to 258 the New York Republican slate convention incorporated in its party platform today a plank calling for the repeal of the 18th amendment. Albany, N. Sept.

26. '(AP) A platform, In which the principal plank called for repeal of the ISth amendment, was put forward today for adoption by the New York state Republican convention. The repeal declaration, reversing a dry policy adhered to by the party for many years, was the certain center of contention on the floor of the convention, but the wots were in the saddle and confident of their ability to secure its adoption on the first ballot. The plank coincided with the anfi-prohibltion attitude of Charles H. Tuttle of New York, federal district attorney, and its- approval by the platform committee added to the certainty that Mr.

Tuttle would be named by the convention today as the party candidate for governor. The repeal declaration came before the platform committee adopted a resolution by Meyer Steinbrlnk of Brooklyn, embodying the vlows of Mr. Tuttle. It calls for repeal, with the understanding that the repealer be accompanied by adoption of a substitute amendment, outlawing the saloon, forbidding private traffic intoxicating beverages for prlvaVe profit, and guaranteeing federal assistance to prohibition states. The committee placed the plank in the platform by a vote of 3'J to 12.

The 991 -delegates to the convention were summoned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning, but neveral ad-dresBos precede the adoption of the platform and nomination of a state ticket. A tight on the floor on the repeal plank In the platform was made possible by the convention committee on rules and resolutions, which provide that If there was a minority report on any plank, an hour would be allowed to each side for debute In the convention before a vote of the delegates was taken. Opposition to the declaration for repeal came from two sources: Party leaders, eager to avoid variance between state and national prohibition planks, and the organized reform groups. The Anti-Saloon league, the Women's Christian Temperance union and the New York Civic league agreed to unite in support of an independent dry candidate for governor if the wet plank was adopted.
