ELECTION DAY IN CHICAGO AND NOTJJHOT! No Murders, No Kidnapings, No Sluggings, Nothing but Voting. POLLS ARE FLOODED Ballot at Rate of 140,000 an Hour; 600,000 Total by Noon. By United Prest CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Chicagoans were voting at the rate of 140,000 an hour today without a sign of the sluggings, kidnapings and murders that have marked other election days here in the last ten years. Voters are guarded by 15,000 city and federal officers. Election officials estimated that 600,000 persons had cast their ballots by noon. At that hour the woman vote began to turn out in greater numbers than ever before. Shortly after noon police arrested four henchmen of Joe Saltis, missing beer baron, in a saloon back of the stockyards. The arrests were made to steal ballot boxes after the polls close at 4 p. m. It was indicated that there would be the greatest scratching of ballots in the history of the state. Newspapers and reform organizations have joined in pleas for the voters to disregard political affiliations and cast their votes “to end machine rule.” Greatest interest here, other than in the presidential race centered over the state’s attorneys office and the office of Governor. At last April’s primary, the voters defeated the Thompson-Crowe-Small machine in the race for state’s attorney, Judge John A. Swanson being selected as the Republican candidate over Robert E. Crowe. Swanson is opposed by Judge William Lindsay. Judge Floyd E. Thompson (Dem.) and Louis Emmerson (Rep.) are the candidates for Governor. Charges of vote trading were made late Monday, particularly in the “bloody twentieth,” where Morris Eller, city collector, is boss. Guard Polls in New York ft ii XJnitcd Press NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The nation’s largest city had more than 9,000 special guards around the polls today as some 2,000,000 persons recorded their choice for the next President of the United States. The entire force of the metropolitan police department was ordered for active duty until the final vote is counted in New York City. That meant approximately 8,000 police. In addition, 1,500 special deputies were recruited for duty under George Z. Medalie to prevent any illegal voting. Medalie hus been holding the hearings into registration frauds and took added precautions today to prevent irregularities at the pols.

New York in Uproar New York was far from calm today. One of her own sons was seeking the nation’s highest office and celebrations got under way even as early as dusk Monday night. Throughout the city groups could be heard merrymaking, booming horns, and beating on toy drums. This was expected to continue today and well into tonight. The exuberance was so great that the fire department ordered a double force on duty during the entire time the election is in doubt to prevent spread of the expected bonfires. The Stock Exchange was closed today but rumors continued to drift through the financial areas concerning great last minute wagers although no confirmation could be obtained. W. C. Durant Monday was reported without confirmation to have placed $1,000,000 against $200,000 that Hoover would win and other wagers of great proportions were reported. One clerk on the exchange, reported to be an intermediary, said he had placed $200,000 Monday and had handled about $1,000,000 in the past week. 5 to 1 on Hoover The odds quoted this morning, with the betting ended: Hoover to defeat Smith, 5 to 1. Franklin D. Roosevelt to defeat Albert Ottinger for the governorship of New York, 214 to 1. Smith to carry New York state 6 to 5. Hoover to receive 350 electoral votes, 1 to 3. That Hoover does not carry two of the eleven “solid South” states, even money. That Hoover carries New Jersey, 214 to 1.

‘Greetings! ' Hoover or Smith to Say Thanks to Nation by Radio Tonight.

By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The next President of the United States will greet his constituents over the radio tonight. Arrangement were made by the National Broadcasting Company to to have Herbert Hoover or Governor Smith, whoever wins, speak a greeting into a microphone linking up with a 62-station national hootcup as soon as the result is clear during the night.

She split her county ticket. * a a a All Out ferr Dailey The neighbors of Frank C. Dailey, Democratic nominee for Governor, were turning out in force to vote today. The vote got so heavy in the middle of the morning in Dailey’s precinct, the Second of the Eighth ward, at 1450 North Pennsylvania street, that the county election commissioners were. forced to supply a second machine. tt a tt Fire Alarm Calls Voters By Unit id Press PELHAM MANOR. N. Y„ Nov. 6.—To make sure voters would take advantage of the 6 a. m. opening of the polls, the city sounded the village fire alarm at short intervals after daybreak. tt tt tt Taggart Gets Out of Bed “t FEEL better already, and I'm A going to vote!” Chalk up one more for A1 Smith, for this was the pronouncement this morning of Thomas Taggart, veteran Democratic leader, when the sun peeped into his sick-room. Taggart was removed to his home, 1331 North Delaware street, Monday from Methodist hospital where he had been for more than a month. He insisted on voting for Al, who sped to his bedside at the hospital two weeks ago for a handshake and a greeting. So against his doctors’ advice, the stratogist of many a Democratic campaign and convention, was once more to “vote ’er straight under the rooster” at 1421 North Alabama street, the place for the Third precinct, Eighth ward, this afternoon. tt tt tt Elections Soften Judge By t tilled Press .NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Twelve men who lacked the money to pay fines for illegal posession of liquor were free today because the nation • happens to be electing a President.

By United Press DALLAS , Tex., Nov. 6.—Police were without definite clews today as to the identity of the slayer or slayers of Mrs. Bessie Lunch and Mrs. Cleo Lieto, candy factory employes, who were found clubbed to death at a lonely spot near Dallas Sunday morning. Detectives went to Tulsa to question a former sweetheart of Mrs. Lunch who is said to have threatened her with violence if she showed attentions to any man besides himself.

AL ‘VOTES ’ER STRAIGHT’ AS THRONG CHEERS HIM

By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—While hjs fellow citizens of the metropolis registered a mighty vote, Governor Alfred E. Smith went early this afternoon to a polling place near the Biltmore hotel—his city address —to vote a straight Democratic ticket. Smith voted shortly before 1 p. m. after making his way through a veritable mob of admirers. Voting with him were his wife, whose birthday wish today was for his election; his son and daughter-in-law. Sixty police guarded him and

THRONG POLLS OVER U. S. TO CASTBALLOTS Few Reports of Violence Are Made in Election Before Noon. SOME MINOR TROUBLE Rescind Order for State Troops in West Virginia Mining Region. By United Press The Hoover-Smith presidential election battle brought recordbreaking voting today. Comparatively little disorder was reported. State troops were ordered by Governor Gore of West Virginia into the Logan county mining area to forestall possible mob violence, but the order later was cancelled, as the situation apparently was in hand. A Democratic judge there charged the sheriff had deputized 200 special deputies and he retorted with charges of Democratic massing of armed forces. Charge Negro Intimidation In Chattanooga, Tenn., Democrats claimed some Negroes had been improperly registered, and the Republicans replied that the Democrats’ threat of prosecution mereiy ! was intended to keep Negro voters jfrom the polls. Charges of fraud and corruption in connection with the election in Philadelphia were received at the district attorney's office shortly before noon and three warrants were sworn out by Democratic voters. Others were demanded. Although the election in Kansas City was marred by minor disturbances, there was no major trouble. Police arrested 135 persons for drunkenness and election law violai tions. Writ of habeas corpus Issued by circuit courts forced the release of twenty of those arrested. Two deaths were reported by police, both due to alcoholism. Twenty secret service men and 100 deputy United States marshals, ; guarded the polls in Butte, Mont. Guards Are Massed I The move followed charges of Governor J. E. Erickson, Democrat, opposed by Wellington D. Rankin, Republican, United States district attorney, that the state government has been domiljfated by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. In many cities heavy guards were massed. Hoover drew the first victories, outdistancing Smith in the Berkshire mills hamlets of New Ashford, Mass., and Mt. Washington, Mass. Hoover had 28 votes to Smith's 3 I in the New Ashford hill community, I and 25 to Smith’s 8 in Mt. Wash- ' ington, both of which completed voting before 7 a. m. The first precinct to report its complete vote in the presidential election in Arkansas today showed: Democratic ticket, 11; Republican, 0. Pile Up Remarkable Vote The precinct, located in Crittenden county, had its entire vote of eleven counted in less than a half hour after the polls opened. Favorable weather prevailed in most sections, aiding to pile up a remarkable vote. Texas and Oklahoma and up-state New York, however, reported rains of varying degrees. Rain was reported from Texas and Oklahoma, with prospects it would curtail the vote in the former state but not in the latter. San Francisco, after early predictions of possible bad weather, reported clear weather and strong voting in California. The “battle of the ballots” was almost uniformly heavy in all sections. Fully half of New York City’s 2,000,000 votes were estimated to have been cast up to noon. Ashveille (N. C.) reported two men were held charged with conspiracy in connection with absentee votes. ■ y > GARY DOUBLES VOTE Twice as Many Ballots Cast at 10 a. m. as In 1924. By United Press GARY, Ind., Nov. 6.—By 10 this morning twice as many persons had voted in Gary’s fifty-four precincts as voted in 1924, a police check revealed. According to the check, announced at noon, 12,822 had been polled during the first four hours of balloting.

It was only four blocks away from his hotel, but the Governor had to proceed slowly, while from his beloved “sidewalks of New York" arose shouts and cheers. “We’ll see you in Washington, Al.” some shouted. “Hooray for the next President.” others echoed. It took the Smiths about three minutes to vote, and then they walked back to their hotel home while the crowds set up another shout of greeting.

WATCH PULSE OF KEY STATES FOR VOTE RESULT

Elements of Doubt Keep Politicians of Parties in Anxiety. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The voting now is in full swing. After four months of oratory, the most exciting presidential campaign in many years is being decided. Between 35,000,000 and 40,000,000 voters acco; ling to best estimates, are choosing today between Herbert Hoover of California and Alfred E. Smith of New York. The first states to close their polls tonight will be Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina, where voting ends at 4 p. m. central standard time. South Carolina is assumed to be over whelmingly Democratic as usual. Watching Key States If Kentucky and Tennessee are at all close as many expect, the result in those states may not be known for many hours because of the delay in geting returns from the isolated mountain districts. Generally in both these states the cities will lean toward Hoover and the country districts toward Smith, politicians say. Smith votes will be slower coming in therefore than Hoover votes. Other key states In the voting today include New York, where the polls close at 6 p. m. eastern time; Massachusetts, closing from 4 to 8 p. m. eastern time; Missouri, closing at 7 p. m., central time, and Maryland, closing at 5 to 7 p, m. eastern time. When the results in those states are known it will be fairly certain who has won. This group is expected to hold the balance of power unless there should be a landslide. Voting began with betting odds here five to one on Hoover. Democrats recalled, however, that in 1916 betting was six to one that Hughes would win. Campaign managers on each side have been claiming victory by 400 electoral votes. Straw votes have leaned in Hoover's favor. Three Unknown Factors Political correspondents who have toured the country generally feel there is a large element of doubt in the election although most give Hoover an advantage. Three large unknown factors give this election a greater element of doubt than any since 1916 when it was not known for many hours whether Wilson or Hughes had been elected. The greatest element of uncertainty arises from the tremendously increased registration. A second element of doubt is the uncertainty as to h- many wet Republicans will vote with Governor Smith because of liquor and how many dry Democrats will bolt him. Party fences haye been trampled this year, but nobody knows just which way the balance will go. A third element is the religious feeling. It is the hardest of all elements to estimate, because so many are reluctant to discuss it openly.

ONE SLAIN, TWO HURT IN COLLIERY SLIDE Brother of Dead Man Rescued From Rock Avalanche. By United I’rcs SHAMOKIN, Pa., Nov. 6.—Vincent Yoncoskie, 19, a miner, was crushed to death today by a slide of rock in the Sterling colliery. His body buried underneath the avalanche of rock, was not extricated until several hours later.

Two-Thirds Ballots Cast by Noon in Many Cities, Is Report. Heavy voting and much “scratching" wore reported throughout Indiana today in what appeared to be the heaviest march to the polls in the state's history. From scattered county seats came the word from one-fifth to onefourth of the normal vote was in the ballot boxes after the first two hours of voting. At noon two • thirds of the vote had been recorded in many of these cities dispatches indicated. Perfect election weather climaxed a campaign of unusual intensity, to cause political leaders to predict a state vote of 1,400,000 or more as compared with the 1,272,390 who four years ago expressed their preference for Coolidge and Davis. Women Out in Force Farmers and women descended in large numbers on the voting places in the forenoon, reports said. Earlyhour records were broken at Richmond, where long lines awaited their chance at the polls. Women were out in numbers equal to the men in Evansville, and the farm vote was reported heavy. This also was the situation at Wabash. Women waited in lines at Shelby - ville a half-hour before polls opened. At Marion some delay was occasioned by the use of paper ballots, workers believing scratching was general. At Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting and other cities in the industrial section, long lines indicated an enormous vote. The foreign and Negro vote is unusually large in East Chicago, where, at 9 a. m., seven times as many ballots were cast as at the same hour in 1924. Democrats were challenging many voters. Machines in 24 Counties The number of Hoosiers of voting age this year is estimated at 1,850,00. Seventy per cent of the electorate voted four years ago. If the sizzling governorship contest between Frank C. Dailey, Democrat, and Harry G. Leslie, Republican, and the Hoover-Smith presidential battle is any criterion of public interest, 80 per cent of the eligible voters may be expected to go to the polls today, politicians figured. This would amount to some 1,480,000. Voting machines were in use in twenty-four of Indiana’s ninety-two counties, giving promise of early returns that will be fairly indicative of the Indiana outcome. It is estimated that approximately half of the Indiana vote will be machinetabulated and so computed readily. — t Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m.... 46 9 a. m.... 46 7a. m.... 46 11 a. m.... 53 8 m.... 46 12 (noon). 55 9 a. m.... 46 1 p. m.... 56 10 a. m,... 49

RECORD VOTE IS POLLED IN COUNTY; THOUSANDS FLOCK TO BOOTHS IN EARLY HOURS All Previous High Ballot Marks Swept Aside, With Interest in City at Fever Heat. * ----- - - WEATHER IS IMPORTANT FACTOR Women in Large Numbers Exercise Suffrage; Contest Is Keen to Swing Negro Electors. In addition to the unusually heavy vote, probably record breaking, a dramatic struggle for the capture of the normullv Republican Negro wards, the Fifth and Sixth, featured this afternoon’s developments in the election in Marion county. The heavy Republican majority in these wards frequently have decided elections in favor of the G. O. P. While the voting proceeded through the noon hour with almost the same unprecedented speed with which it had opened at 6 a. m., the Democrats concentrated their effort in the Fifth and Sixth wards, and the Twelfth ward, where the Jewish population was expected to swell the Democratic total.

Much scratching of tickets was reported throughout the city. Because of the heavy vote Australian ballots were sent to the Eighth precinct, Fourth ward, 3345 Central avenue, and the Twenty-seventh precinct, Warren township, 209 South Audubon road, at 1 p.m. The election in the Negro wards presented an unusual picture. Instead of the usual lack of Democratic workers around the polling places there were dozens with badges and plenty of hearty talk. The Democrats hired dozens ol taxicabs to haul Negro voters, particularly women, to the polls. The voting proceeded with only minor interruptions, such as misunderstanding of voting laws and slight difficulties with voting machines, which the election board soon ironed out. Indictaing the heavy vote, reports to Republican county headquarters showed that by 10 a. m. 70,140 votes had been cast in all but five outlying precincts of the 269 in the county The total from these same precincts at 10 a. m. four years ago was 66,381. G. O. P. Gets Reports

Republican precinct committeemen were reporting to Harry B Dynes at headquarters the number of voters who had voted every two hours, with the way these voters were listed on their poll books. With these reports as the basis, Dynes said his figures at 10 a. m. showed 37,999 of the 70,140 voters to have been listed as Republicans, giving the G. O. P. a lead of 5,858 at that time. If this rate were kept up all day, and the Republican figures were accurate, the Republicans would triumph by approximately 15,000 votes and the total vote would be around 200,000. The total xote four years ago was 160,000. The Republicans were not making such enthusiastic claims, however, contenting themselves with County Chairman Omer Hawkins’ prediction, after a swing through rural precincts to the north, that Harry G. Leslie, Republican nominee for Governor, would carry the county by 10,000. Hawkins said Hoover would carry the county by far more than that, admitting that considerable scratching was going on. Democrats Claim Victory Democrats scouted these figures and held to their predictions of victory for national, state, and county tickets, but Dynes declared his figures were as accurate as possible. He pointed out that he was not concealing the fact that the 10 o’clock figures gave the Republicans a majority of 256 in the Seventh ward, as compared with 318 at the same hour in 1924, and that they showed the Republicans leading in Wayne township by 115, as compared with 772 in 1924. According to Dynes’ figures, the Republicans had voted more heavily in the normally Democratic Twelfth and Thirteenth wards than in 1924, and were fairly outdoing themselves in the vastly Republican Fourth ward. Democratic leaders insisted that the normally Democratic south side wards were registering straight votes and that there was heavy scratching in the normally Republican north side wards. This, the Democrats felt, indicated that Republicans were scratching for Frank D. Dailey, Democratic nominee for Governor, and Louis Ludlow, Democratic nominee for congressman. See Sweeping Triumph Republican leaders, however, declared they would hold their own in the Negro wards and would march to a tremendous victory with the aid of the north side precincts, citing their confidential reports from each precinct as to the situation at 10 a. m., to show they were gaining ground in some Democratic wards. Sheriff Omer Hawkins, Republican county chairman, reported after a swing through the north end of the county that farmers were out in force and undoubtedly were scratching a lot. Police up to this afternoon had received no reports of trouble. Despite the fact that the voters were walking i*ight into the machines, and coming right out, in some precincts as fast as three a minute, the precinct election of-

flcials insisted that the noise of the clicking keys indicated that there was much scratching, of two or three candidates in the north side precincts. On the south side the precinct officials reported the voting heavy and straight. This is normally' Democratic territory. No trouble of serious nature attended the opening of the polls at 6 a. m., nor the early hours of voting. There were a few cases of stuck machines and failure of precinct officials to understand instructions, but the county election board, Ira M. Holmes, James E. Deery and George O. Hutsell, ironed out the trouole rapidly. The board had headquarters at the courthouse, from which the election commissioners sped to the scenes of difficulties in fast automobiles, driven by deputy sheriffs. Women Vote Heavy w . As has been true of the last few elections, women were turning out as promptly and in as large numbers as men in most sections of the county. The heavier woman vote was expected this afternoon, after household duties were attended to, although nearly as many women as men were in line during the nours before the men had to go to factories and offices this morning. As usual the evidences of organization were greater around Republican thun Democratic county headquarters, although Democrats appeared to-be in better shape than for many years. George V. Coffin, boss of the Seventh district, was running things at Republican headquarters in the K. of P. building. He was surrounded by able and active lieutenants, among them Wayne V. Emmelman, county secretary, and John Royse, the latter having charge of the direction of 800 automobiles with which disabled voters were hauled to the polls. Prosecutor William H. Remy, deputies and lawyers from both Republican and Democratic ranks awaited reports of fraud at the prosecutor's office. The prosecutor has promised to presecute vigorously anyone caught intimidating voters, repeating or attempting to vote when not authorized by legal residence. He stated that his agents were keeping a particular watch on the wards were suspicious activities were reported in the primary. Superior Judge Byron K. Elliott opened his court and announced he would be available to settle disputes on the eligibility of any voters, but none had appealed to him by early this afternoon. The Twenty-fourth precinct, Perry township, called for Australian ballots when 500 had voted at 10:30. Six hundred had voted at 4301 East Washington street, Ninteenth precinct, Ninth ward, at 10 and a big line of waiters was reported. An exceptionally heavy vote was reported on the east side and in Irvington, with many Republicans scratching to vote for Dailey for Governor. In some Irvington precincts the vote at noon already, had reached the usual total vote. Vote Usually Heavy At 5223 East Washington street. Twenty-second precinct, Warren township, 520 had voted at noon. The usual total vote there is about 520, officials said. Scratching was reported heavy. The Nineteenth precinct, Ninth ward, 4301 East Washington street, showed a vote of 850 at 11:30. The normal total vote is about 750. In the Twenty-sixth precinct, Warren township, 5531 East Washington street, 600 of a normal total vote of 800, with many scratches for Dailey, was reported. In the Twenty-fourth precinct, Warren township, 5642 East Washington street, 506 had voted at 11:43. The usual total vote is 350. Youth Killed in Auto FRENCH LICK, Ind., Nov. B. Roy Pinnick, 19, Crystal, was killed and his brother, Fred, 21, seriously injured when an auto in which they were riding fell down an embankment near here.
