SEEK HINT ON VOTE TREND IN MAINE BALLOT Election Today Starts Week of Heavy Political Activity Throughout Nation. Hi RAYMOND CLAPPER I'nllfi Prr* staff CarmwnAmt WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Results of thp state election in Maine today were awaited by leaders of both parties, seeking in them some hint of what November holds in store. In addition to this preliminary balloting, a week of heavy political activity was in prospect. Primaries were scheduled to be held in Colorado, Michigan, Arizona, New Hampshire, Vermont, Washington and Georgia. The voting in Maine for state and congressional offices is viewed by both parties as an important indicator. Politicians will analyze the results in the hope of detecting whether there is a large silent drift of voters away from traditional moorings. Democrats havp little expectation of carrying the state. They hope, at most, to win one of the three congressional seats. The significance of the result Is expected to be in the size of the Republicans' majority. Past records show great fluctuations. In 1924 the Republicans had a majority of 37,000 for Governor and 96.000 for Coolidge, two months later. In the Reptembeer election of 1924 the Democratic candidate for Governor received 108,000 votes. The Democratic candidate for senator received 97,000 votes. Two months later John W. Davis, the Democratic candidate for President, received 27.000 votes, the Republicans taking a 48,000 majority. With such fluctuations party managers have no accurate standards by which to judge today’s results, so that both sides will be able to point with pride whatever happens. This week sees the beginning of the intensive stage of the presidential campaign. Governor Roosevelt's departure for the west, and the engagements of numerous lesser speakers, are turning loose upon the ears of the voters a heavy barrage of oratory. LOTTERY HEARING AT NEW YORK DELAYED Mann, Hering Case to Come lip Next Week, Attorneys Decide. By I nilrd I’rets NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Argument on a motion for dismissal of charges against two officials of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, indicted for alleged operation of a lottery, was postponed today until next week, when the officials wall appear to plead to anew indictment. Albert C. Ottinger, representing Conrad Mann of Kansas City, an official of the Eagles, and Frank Herjng of South Bend, Ind., editor of the organization's magazine, moved before Judge T. Blake Kennedy for dismissal of the indictments. Louis M. Treadwell, assistant United States attorney, argued that there was no reason for dismissal because superceding indictments were filed last week. Judge Kennedy agreed with Treadwell, but, on the request of Ottinger, adjourned argument on the old indictments until the men appear to answer the new' indictments. N. E.

SKIPPER STRONG FOR MUSSOLINI

Italian Liner Captain Talks English in Stage Dialect

This 1* the *lxth nd 1m t of a series on captains of great ocean liners. BY GEORGE BRITT Times Staff Writer Copyright. 1 !J32. by the New York World Telegram Corporation) ■t¥7TTH Foreign Minister Dino * * Grand! seated beside him at the captain's table and he himself wearing his gold-braided evening dress uniform and at his throat the cross and red collar of a commendatore of the crown of Italy, Commandante Antonio Lena of the Conte Grande—for all the average ferryboat commuter might understand—could have been Caesar at the games. To express it another way, the Italian line boats have gay funnels painted red, white and green, whereas most of the liners wear a drab yellow ,or black. The Italian skippers telegraph commands to their engine rooms as if conducting an orchestra, tossing the brass lever over to “adagio,” working up on the indicator to “mezza forza” and "tutta forza" rather than merely ‘full-speed ahead.” This Latin touch is pre-eminent in Commandante Lena, only captain the Conte Grande ever had, who now' is leaving her to command the new super-liner Conte di Savoia, which sails on her maiden voyage in November. He is reserved, even brooding, not garrulous. His English, which may startle the unwary, is almost the dialect of the stage. Describing hard work during his early years at sea, he remembers, “i polisha brass, I scruba da deck.” He is patrician in features and in the w'hole set of his lithe figure and gray hair. He is urbane and imperious, and also a realist. He is 55 now', seasoned in his profession and sure of command.

YET he tipped his cap seriously to the plaster head of Mussolini in the corner of his cabin, Ah. yes, the big boss.” On the wall, also, is a life-size photograph of Mussolini making a speech, while two other photographs of him adorn the desk. The interesting flicker of difference between a vivacious race and a stodgy one is all spread out in the picture frames on the captain’s cabin wall. Secretary of State Stimson, who told Commandante Lena verbally that he never had such a fine trip, is represented by a photograph inscribed with “sincere appreciation,” Ex-Sheriff Thomas M. Farley, here, ha* commissioned the captain a special deputy. On the other hand, Senor Grandi remembered him with “affeto.” Italo Balbo took him to his heart as a sailor and comrade, while the portrait of Gabriele D'Annunzio wished him a ’lunghissimo corso” and himself a short course. There’s a warm and colorful element here which northern languages don’t express. Being a seaman, though, Commandante Lena is utterly cosmopolitan as concerns ships. When Mussolini makes one of his speeches about “we Italians have been sea dogs immemorially” he might be thinking of the commandante personally. J a a a TTIS family has gone to sea from the beginning. He was born—‘launched” might be the truer word—across the street from the shipyard of Riva Trigoso. He went to navigation school at 17, then served his apprenticeship on ships of his family and altogether has been a sailor more than thirty-seven years. Captain Paolo Lena, his father, a stern and bearded old gentleman, founded the family business, running three sailing ships in the Mediterranean, principally carrying wine. The four sons still own the fleet; it has five ships now, up to 750 tons. Two are officers on big ocean-going ships, while the others stay home and manage the business.

is a long and uncertain climb. Since he was 24 Commandante Lena has held master's papers, but that did not mean having a ship. Storms? He strugged his shoulders and raised a finger heavenward. War? He served on a troopship in the first convoy that brought the invading army to Tripoli in 1911, not to mention the World war. a tt u ALL during the war he was with the Principle di Udine, earning his promotion as captain there, repeatedly crossing the submarine infested Atlantic to North and South America. One evening the Principe cleared the shelter of Gibraltar, traveling eastward, in company with the Duca di Genova. Toward midnight they parted, the Principe holding a straight course for Barcelona, the Duca hugging the shore. And the next morning at Barcelona the Principe learned that her companion had been torpedoed off Valencie. The war was full of such chances. “We were nearly a war casualty off the River Plate in 1918, too,” the captain said. It was a collision with the British freighter Induna. All lights were out on both ships, for fear of submarines. In the dark, a crash. The Principe di Udine had struck the Induna almost amidships, smashed through her plates and hopelessly disabled her. “Have we got all your people?” asked Commander Lena when the British captain and crew finally were brought on board. They checked again. The radio operator was missing. A boat put out to search around the wreck, but in the darkness, with a swell running, nothing could be found. All night the Principe di Udine circled the Induna, standing by. In the morning the British ship still floated, although settling, decks almost awash. A boat was sent over. “And there w r as the wireless officer safe and sound,” said the captain. “He had been asleep in his stateroom and never woke up throughout the whole smash. Our men had to shake him to get him up.” u tt JUST a month ago Commandante Lena received a huge gold medal for towing the disabled 12,000-ton Adige into the Azores through an eight-day storm in 1921. But the adventure he really enjoys telling about was a bit of lightning maneuvering and good seamanship just inside Gibraltar two summers ago. A passenger in second class was, the captain believes with some reason, slightly unbalanced of mind. The man decided to go ashore, although no land was in sight. He placed his money. $25. in his sock, took a life preserver in hand, and crawled through a porthole. The first officer, leaning out from the bridge, happened to see the splash.

It was exactly 12:17 o'clock noon at the alarm. The ship was whirled off her course and swung in a circle tow'ard the man overboard. The captain, pleasantly seated in the dining salon, dashed to the bridge. In eight minutes—and remember, it was a ship 650 rteet long, moving at twenty-five miles an hour—a life boat had been launched and the man picked up. At 12:30, thirteen minutes after the first splash, the ship was back on her course, and the captain returning to his luncheon. a a it OF all his ships, the one nearest the captain's heart, was the Principe di Udine, as he recalls her, his home for six years, including w'ar time. And next the Conte Rosso, on which he was staff captain two years and captain four, “w'here I w'orked the hardest,” he said, the ship which began the new rebuilding of Italian merchant shipping, a stout ship and what the captain still believes to be “an intelligent ship."

fixed ahead upon the Conte di Savoia, 48,000 tons, nearly twice as large as the Conte Grande, a slightly smaller sister to the Rex, but possibly to be proven faster, perhaps a challenge to the Bremen and Europa. The Savoia is to cut the time to Gibraltar to five days, Naples to seven. The Conte Savoia will be the only passenger liner equipped with the new Sperry gyroscope stabilizers, the latest device for putting a bridle upon the raging sea and insuring a smooth passage regardless of the weather. The ship will have a cruiserlike stream-lined body, 12,000horse power, will carry 1,900 passengers, and will represent millions of dollars in value and responsibility. Commandante Lena lifted his head proudly at the challenge. The last sailing of the Conte Grande from New York was his last with that ship. He will supervise the finishing of his new ship at Trieste, where the Conte Grande also was built.

BRAND ATTACK ON BONUSEERS ‘HOOVER LIES' Veterans' Wrath Stirred by Claims Criminals Filled Marchers’ Ranks. BY NED BROOKS, Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. The attack on the bonus army as "probably the largest aggregation of criminals ever assembled in Washington" is an attempt by President Herbert Hoover to avert a resolution by the American Legion convention condemning the bonus eviction, according to leaders in the bonus movement. In prepared statements today they derided the assertions of AttorneyGeneral William Mitchell that the ranks of the marchers were filled with crminals, Communists and non-service imposters. Joseph L. HefTernan, former police judge and former mayor of Youngstown, 0., and member of the bonus army, declared that Hanford MacNider, former legion commander and retiring minister to Canada, will attend the legion meeting as the President’s emissary, and will attempt to trade a vote for the bonus payment for a soft-pedaling of The condemnation resolution. Last Desperate Bid A statement issued by R. B. Ellison. national organizer of the Khaki Shirts of America, and former contact officer of the bonus expeditionary forces, branded Mitchell’s report as “the President’s last desperate bid to regain the respect of the ex-service men.” “Hoover fears the condemnation of the legion,” said Heffernan's statement. “In desperation he seeks to recover his owm reputation by destroying the reputations of thousands of worthy men and women who did no harm except to cry for bread.” “Mitchell’s reference to the Communistic element in the bonus camps is an attempt to cloud the fact that the authorized leaders were opposed to every one who savored of Communism, who were no more welcome in the bonus army’s shacks, than they were in the blue room of the White House,” HefTernan said. Branded as Deception Using Mitchell's owm figures of 341 arrests, the majority of which, HefTernan said, w'ere on trivial charges, HefTernan concludes that “never before in the history of America was such a large gathering of people w'ith such a remarkably small percentage of arrests.” More than 80.000 persons passed in and out of the bonus camps, HefTernan said. Mitchell’s statement that 829 of the 4,723 men to apply for return transportation had criminal records is a ‘deliberate deception,” HefTernan said. “Hoover has completely dodged the explanation of the night raid on the peaceful camp at Anacostia. There several thousand peaceful men, many with their wives and children, were living lives of quiet desperation. No ‘dangerous criminals' there threatened the welfare of the nation; no roaring Communists were in that camp. All the explanations of Herbert Hoover never will wipe out the stain of his incomprehensible cruelty.”
