DEMOCRATS LOSE FOUR SEATS IN SENATE CONFLICT

OTHERS LIKELY TO BE BURIED IN LANDSLIDE Neely (W.,Va.) and Gerry (R. I.) Are in Danger. .WHEELER TAKES LEAD Kendrick in Close Contest; Copeland Has Narrow Escape. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Four “Democratic senators still were fighting this afternoon to hold their seats, with the prospects that two of them might lose. Those two were Neely of West Virginia and Gerry of Rhode Island. Both were trailing their Republican opponents on the basis of latest returns. In Montana, Burton, K. Wheeler was running ahead ofM. M. Dixon, and in Wyoming, Kendrick had a Blight lead over C. E. Winter. Among the Democrat incumbents who pulled through the Hoover landslide safely were Trammell, Florida; Stephens, Mississippi; Pittman, Nevada; McKellar, Tennessee; Connolly, Texas; King, Utah; Swanson, Virginia; Ashurst, Arizona; Copeland, New York, and Walsh, Massachusetts. G. O. P. Makes Gains The following victories gave the Republicans gains in the Senate: Townsend, Delaware, over Bayard; Kean, New Jersey, over Edwards; Mackintosh, Washington, over Dill, and Goldsborough, Maryland, over Bruce. Fourteen Republicans breezed along easily with or without Hoover, including Johnson, California; Walcott, Connecticut; Thomas, Idaho; Glenn, Illinois; Robinson, Indiana; Vandenburg, Michigan; Howell, Nebraska; Cutting, New Mexico; Frazier, North Dakota; Fess, Ohio; Burton, Ohio; Reed, Pennsylvania; Greene, Vermont, and La Follette, Wisconsin. The cyclone of ballots stirred up by the Hoover landslide blew first one candidate and then another along unexpected paths. Copeland of New York was an example. At 10 p. m. Tuesday he seemed a beaten man, because Governor Alfred E. Smith, the greatest vote getter this state ever had, was buried in an avalanche under which none of his Democratic co'leagues could be believed to have survived. Trend Suddenly Changes But there was a change in the ! official count upstate, unforeseen j trend against Smith toward Cope- j land in New York City, and Cope- j land awoke this morning to find j himself conceded the senatorship. The Copeland case is not unique, j the same ever-changing battle being waged in most of the key states where Democratic senators were up for re-election. Henrik Shipstead, Fanner-Labor, of Minnesota, the only representative of his party in the senate, apparently was assured of re-election by a majority of 100,000 over Arthur F. Nelson, his Republican opponent. Approximately half of the state’s 3,763 precincts gave Shipstead 229,774 and Nelson, 159,873. Figures for the house of representatives showed 239 Republicans a.id 164 Democrats already elected. There were twenty-nine house seats in doubt, including seven now belonging to the Republicans, and twenty-two to the Democrats. Republican candidates were leading in most of the doubtful districts and it seemed possible the Republicans could pick up more than twenty Democratic seats. Women Win Seats Seven women candidates apparently had won contests for seats in the house, including the four incumbents, Mrs. Rogers, Massachusetts; J&rs. Norton, New Jersey; Mr. Kahn, California; and Mrs. Lang ley, Kentucky. This original feminine contingent will be joined by Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, Florida; Mrs. Ruth Pratt New York; and Mrs. Ruth Hannc McCormick, Illinois. They will make up the largest representation women have ever had in congress. New faces in the senate will include former Representative Connolly of Texas, who has been in the house for a long time, and former Representative Theodore Burton Ohio, who will go with Connolly from the house to the senate. These are the only two who ever have been to Washington officially before, the novices being Towsend. Delaware; Kean, New Jersey; Mack intosh, Washington; Goldsbcrougb, Maryland, Walcott, Connecticut; Thomas, Idaho; and fllenn, Illinois It is the largest group of newcomei? the senate has seen in recent years TWO GIRLS HIT BY AUTO Two small girls were injured slightly when they were hit by automobiles Tuesday afternoon while going home from Cathedral school. The accidents both occurred at Fourteenth and Delaware streets. Susan Brosnan, 6, of 1475 North Delaware street, suffered slight cuts on the face and bruises. The other girl’s identity is not known to police. She suffered only minor injuries. MOTHER TO VIEW BODY The mother of the youth, identified as Robert Butvilas, who killed himself with poison in city prison after his arrest in a stolen automobile, was expected here late today to identify the body positively and remove it to her home at Brighton Park, Chicago. Chicago authorities wired authorities here to send the body to Chicago, but Coroner C. H. Keever refused to do so until it has been identified by a relative.

and a temporary one-story clubhouse will begin as soon as 200 members have been obtained, it was announced Tuesday. Management of the club will be in the hands of a board of directors and committees appointed from the membership. The club was incorporated last June. Memberships will purchase only club rights and playing privileges, while ownership of the clubhouse and grounds will remain in the hands of the board of directors. This unique method will make the membership fee much less expensive than in the average golf club. Temporary plans for the links have been drawn by a local golf “pro ’and everything is in readiness for actual construction work. Membership will be limited to 500. Good horsemen usually make good air pilots, but expert racing motorists do not excel as airmen.

WIDE PATH OF n RUIN IS SWEPT BY LAVA FLOW Molten Stream From Volcano, Mile Wide, Devastates Sicilian Valley. By United Press CANTANIA, Sicily, Nov. 7. A wide path of ruin past the villages of Nunziaia and Puntalazzo and through the little hamlet of Mascali marked today the path of an ever advancing wall of molten lava which flowed from the crater of Mount Etna down the beautiful Pietrafucila-Vallonazzo valley. Moving forward, crushing houses, vineyards, and rich farm lands, the main lava stream had joined with several others from the crater and was nearly fourteen feet thick and more than a mile wide. Houses crimbled under the intense heat before the lava reached them and trees were withered and destroyed while the stream was still 100 yards away.
