ston Sloan, who v.as knocked down during the melee, surrendered after the shooting, Two youths were reported wounded in Boyle County in another election dispute. Weather conditions favored the Republicans. In southeastern Kentucky, normally Republican, voters went to the polls in shirt sleeves. Democratic strongholds in the western and northern sections of the state were swept by rain 3nd chill winds and voters were bundled in overcoats and protected by umbrellas. G. 0. P. Takes Pennsylvania By United Prrss PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6. S Davis Wilson, contractor, who was elected city controller in 1933 on a Democratic ticket, was conceded election as Mayor today on a Republican ticket. His margin over John B. Kelly, Democrat, was one ot the smallest Philadelphia G. O. P. majorities since Democrats last elected a Mayor 56 years ago. Complete returns gave Wilson 373,132 and Kelly 325,521, a majority of 47,611 for Wilson. In the only state-wide contest Judge Jesse B. Cunningham, Republican, forged slowly ahead of Robert L. Myers Jr., his opponent for a Superior Court seat. Democrats had reason to rejoice over an unexpected victory in Scranton and Lackawanna County, Republican for 25 years. They elected all but two county officers in that industrial community. Leaders of the Philadelphia Republican organization built years ag r by the Vare brothers interpreted their victory as a repudiation of the state administration of Gov. George Earle and the national Administration of President Roosevelt. The accuracy of their interpretation was somewhat clouded by Wilson's indefinite personal politics and she fact that the Democratic candidate made a real race out of a contest which in most election years is a Republican runaway. The state’s three largest cities voted overwhelmingly to repeal the Sunday blue laws that have remained on statute books for 141 years. Theaters will open at 2 p. m. next Sunday in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton, the first time in history that residents of the three cities have had Sunday stage or screen entertainment. Other communities that repealed the old laws were Wilkes-Barre, Reading. Chester, Carbondale, Lock Haven and many small villages and towns. Harrisburg, Bethlehem, Pottstown, Shamokin and Hazelton voted to retain the laws. Democrats Deny Defeat liy United Press ALBANY. N. Y., Nov. 6.—New York Republicans hailed their As- j sembly victory today as a repudiation of the New Deal that will load to defeat of President Roosevelt for re-election in 1936. Democrats seized upon the approximate 500,000-vote all-in-all majority given their candidates as a warm indorsement of the New Deal in Mr. Roosevelt’s home state. Thus, the two parties emerged from the bitter off-year election still locked in an unprecedented fight to place nationally important New York in their respective columns in the presidential balloting a year hence. The Republicans, who campaigned solely against the New Deal and Mr. Roosevelt, gained nine seats in yesterday's voting to control the 1936 Assembly, 82 to 68. Both parties prepared to make use of the results in the presidential race next year. Rivals Issue Statements The Democrats carried New York City by a large majority. Republican State Chairman Melvin C. Eaton and Postmaster General James A. Farley, Democratic state and national chairman, each; claimed party victories. “The results of the assembly contests in this state clearly show the trend away from the New Deal in this state,’’ said Eaton. Farley said: “The election gave our party one j of the largest representations it j ever had—approximately the same j as came in with Roosevelt in 1932. | The Federal Administration was sustained by more than 500,000 ma- ; jority. which ought to be sufficient ! answer to the question of continued popularity of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” The Republicans recaptured Ascembly control by winning the nine seats and maintaining their previous lines. Democrats, striking back at the Republican New Deal victory contention, pointed to election of their congressional candidates in the Second and Twenty-third Districts. They said that the congressional victories constituted a clear-cut New Deal issue. The campaigns were

j fought on New Deal issues. Observers explained that both districts are normally Democratic. William F. Barry, Democrat, defeated his Republican opponent, Joseph Conroy, to fill an unexpired term caused by the resignation of Rep. Willnm F. Brunner. In the Twenty-second District, Edward Curley, Democrat, defeated Victor Santini, Republican, to fill a vacancy created by the death of Rep. Anthony J Griffin. Socialist Is Re-Elected By United Press BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Nov. 6. Bridgeport returned its first Social- : Ist Mayor to office yesterday with . twice the plurality he obtained in 1933 and ousted four Democratic city councilmen to make the council j solidly Socialist. The victorious Mayor is Jasper ! McLevy, hard jawed, 57-year-old roofer who has been a candidate ; on the Socialist ticket for Mayor or Governor at almost every election ! since 1903. His plurality in 1933 over two opponents was 6070, his plurality yesterday 13,904. “I take the vote as just a vote of confidence in our administration,” he said. “We'll accept it as a manj date to continue our work.” McLevy is one of the hardest . working executives Bridgeport ever has had. He drives his own car to the City Hall early each morning, generally uses the stairs in preferI °nce to the elevator, in winter wears an overcoat with shiny elbows and worn cuffs, and in summer works with his sleeves rolled up and his collar open. Election of a 100 per cent Socialist city Council confronted him with a situation not contemplated by the city charter, which says all city commissions shall be composed of representatives of the two dominant parties in the council in equal strength. McLevy hadn’t decided what his course would be under oneparty rule. Cleveland G. 0. P. Wins By United Press CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.—The Democratic Party went down to defeat here today when official returns indicated a sweeping victory for Harold H. Burton, independent Republican, in the race for Mayor. An overwhelming outpouring of independent votes swept him into the office with a majority that may reach 37,000 votes over Ray T. Miller, his Democratic opponent. While the result was a defeat for the Democratic organization, it was a victory for independent voters who campaigned for the reform and against machine politics as carried on under Mayor Harry L. Davis, the present R< publican incumbent. The sentiment against a “wide open” city was reflected also in the vote for council, which swept eight councilmen out of office. Unofficial returns indicated that Republicans continued to hold a bare majority, winning 17 seats to the Democrat’s 15, with one independent candidate apparently assured of victory. Charter Plan Defeated By Scripps-Haward Xeicspapcr Alliance CINCINNATI, 0., Nov. 6.—Defeat of the proposal to extend Cincinnati's celebrated good government formula by adopting anew charter for Hamilton County (Cincinnati and environs) was conceded today. The Cincinnati Post, ScrippsHoward newspaper which alone among the local papers has been a consistently militant fighter for the plan, said editorially that the campaign must go on. The Enquire supported the charter idea mildly, the Times-Star opposed mildly. Defeat was attributed by charter advocates to several causes: A powerful Republican county and township organization fought it; there was much misrepresentation and consequent misunderstanding; opponents cried, “This means the breakdown of the two-party sys- j tern” and charged that the charter j would help to keep President Roosevelt in power.

HOSIERY MEN OPEN FT, WAYNE HEARING Union and Company Chiefs Seek Agreement. By United Press FT. WAYNE, Nov. 6.—A hearing on the dispute between members of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers and the Wayne Knitting Mills was scheduled here today. Union and company officials sought to reach an agreement on eligibility for participation in an election to determine employe representation at the mills. The union has demanded only production employes be permitted to participate in the election. The mill has refused to recognize the American Federation of Labor in the dispute, and union workers have rejected the organization favored by the mills. Ralph A. Lind, national labor relations board representative, and Robert H. Cowdrill, regional labor board chairman, conducted the hearing.

Voting Heaviest in History In many towns, the voting was the heaviest in history. This appeared to be particularly true in communities where Republican tickets were elected. Two towns voted on relinquishing that status to become cities. This was a party issue at Rising Sun where Democrats, espousing the city ranking, won a complete victory for the first time since Civil War days. Salem also voted to become a city, but both pro and anti tickets here were nonpartisan. The wet and dry issue made itself felt at Hope, Bartholomew County, where Republicans made a clean sweep. The incumbent Democratic board had legalized liquor by the drink by ordinance. Edinburg Goes Republican Kentland’s election was reported to have been conducted along strictly party lines with Republicans taking all offices. Edinburg, normally Democratic by 450, went straight Republican. Decker elected a Republican town board by heavy majorities for the first time in 14 years. Frankton elected Republican officials for the first time in 25 years. Vevay chose a Republican ticket for the first time in 50 years. Paoli elected a Republican ticket with the heaviest vote the town ever cast. Democrats made gains, however, in a number of communities, either increasing advantages gained in the last election or cutting into Republican strength. At Brookville, two Republican nominees signed affidavits they would not serve if elected and this normally Democratic town went Democratic by 4 to 1. Other Indiana towns showed the following results: Fairmount, Republican incum-

NO NEW FACTS ON LUSITANIA McAllister, on Salvage Ship, Turns All Queries to Previous Stories. BY GILBERT M’ALLISTER (Copyright. 1935, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.) ABOARD SALVAGE SHIP ORPHIR, Nov. 6.—Reports flashed to ! the world that the Lusitania wreck had been identified positively and j counter reports refuting these ac-; counts, have brought me a bom- ; bardment of wire, telephone calls ! and wireless messages. All ask, “What are the facts?” The facts have already been exclusively reported in my dispatches. The large wreck located by the Orphir has been identified as the Lusitania by logical elimination during the last month. From its size, location, the position in which it lies, and the large rivets actually seen on its hull in a descent by the Orphir’s diver, it is only common sense to deduce that the wreck is that of the Lusitania. Unless a near miracle has occurred, and the great ship has materialized out of nowhere, the ! wreck is the Lusitania. But there are no new facts beyond those already related.

PROGRAM FAILS IN CHILD CARE. WORKERS TOLD Miss Caroline Penniman Is Speaker at Social Meeting. No state has developed a full program for the care of feeble-minded children. Miss Caroline deF. Penniman. Middletown, Conn., told members of a study group meeting in conjunction with the Indiana State Conference on Social Work in the Claypool today. “The states do not get feebleminded children early enough. States have not the capacity lo give them the institutional care they need.” she told her class. “The training and care of these children should, from the beginning, be an intensive procram of preparation for their return to community life.” Miss Penniman objects to lorg stays in institutions of dependent and neglected children, and advocates that they be returned to their own homes or foster hcjr.es as soon as possible. “A child kept too long in an institution tends to lose his power of initiative, imagination, civic consciousness, and ability to cop? with life problems.” The course which Miss Penniman leads is one of six offered to social workers preceding the opening of the conference tonight, when Dr. Max Bahr. Central State Hospital superintendent, and conference president, is to speak. HEIR NAMED EXECUTOR UNDER $60,000 BOND Edward C. Hayes, Marion, Willed Half of Aunt's Estate.
