Brass Quartet to Play at Rites for Retired Postman.

A brass quartet was to play at funeral rites today for Robert 8. - Coxe, 2600 W. 16th-st, retired mail carrier who died last Wedne-day in Miami, Fla. and left a $500 cache of gold in the basement of his “home,

Mr. Coxe requested that the gold be used to pay the expenses of an hestra at his funeral. Relatives, however, decided that a brass quar-

tet would suffice for the services at his home today. Crown Hill Cemetery. In the meantime, inheritance tax officials and Federal authorities were attempting to determine what disposition shall be made of the gold coins. Congress passed an act making it illegal to possess gold coins. Relatives, however, believe the act would not apply to the money hidden by Mr. Coxe. : Mrs. Lenora Hindel, a niece, is the only close survivor of the retired mail carrier and beneficiary under his will. He left an estate estimated at between $10,000 and $15,000. The United Ancient Order of Druids was to conduct this morning’s rituals. Mr. Coxe had been in the postal service 27 years. He was 73.

Predicts 2-to-1 Victory for Landon in Upper New York

Mark Sullivan Bases His Opinion on Results of Survey and Vote in 1932 Presidential Race.

BY MARK

SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, July 6—The action of Democratic Gov. Lehman of New York—first saying he would not run for re-election this fall, and later that he would—is generally scrutinized for light on the motive inspiring the change of intention. Universally it js assumed that Gov. Lehman’s change of mind was in response to urgings from President Roosevelt and the Democratic national managers. UniversaHly it is assumed that the urging was caused by the feeling that Mr. Lehman running again for Governor would help Mr. Roosevelt.

carry the state for President.

Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Farley and the Democrats | New York State in November.

About the probabilities in New York State in November there is some evidence in the poll which the Literary Digest last May made of one up-state city in New York. The’ city was Binghamton. Binghamton was chosen for ‘the test because the Digest editors believed the population of that city to be typical of

hamton seemed a good barometer. Split Even in 1932

To consider the meaning to be derived from the Digest’s poll of Binghamton, we must start with the actual vote cast by Binghamton in

the 32 presidential election. In that 1832 election, Binghamton divided a t even. The figures were: Roosevelt, Democrat, 13,977 or 50.2 per cent. : Hoover, Republican, 13,854, or 49.8 per cent. : Now compare this with the Literary Digest poll of Binghamton made in May of the present year. The Digest sent secret ballots to every

hamton, 27397 of them. Returns were received by the Digest from 5754 voters. That is, of the voters polled, about one in every five replied and stated their choice. This is about the percentage that usually

Of the replies, 2063 said they would vote for Mr. Roosevelt. This is 35.85 per cent. The rest (omitting a Hegligible number of Socialists) said they would vote Republican this year. The number saying they would vote Republican was 3525, or 61.7 per cent. Thus the attitude of Binghamton this year, as revealed by the Digest poll! is: Democrat, 2063, or 35.85 per cent. Republican, 3525, or 61.7 per cent.

Drop Is Indicated

Let us now see what is the percentage of change. Mr. Roosevelt in 1932 got 50.2 per cent of the total vote. This year in the Digest poll, he gets 35.85 per cent of the total. To put it in a brief table: Roosevelt, 1932 (actual elecfion), 50.2 per cent. Roosevelt, 1936 (Digest poll), 35.8% per cent.

That is, Mr. Roosevelt's share of

Consequently, it is widely surmised that

feel doubtful about carrying

the vote dropped from 50.2 per cent to 35.85 per cent, losing 14.15 per cent of the total. But we must apply this falling off not to the total vote but to Mr. Roosevelt's share of the vote in 1932. Thus applied, we find that Mr. Roosevelt in 1936 gets about 28 per cent less than he got in 1932. In other words, he will receive this year only 72 per cent of what he got in 1932. For convenience, let us say roughly that in Binghampton, Mr. Roosevelt this year will get only three-fourths of the vote he got in 1932. 2 Now let us take the change in Binghamton and apply it to upstate New York as a whole. In doing this we are, of course, assuming that Binghamton is a fair barometer of the whole of up-state New York. This assumption is borne out by previous Literary Digest polls.

F. D. R. Drew 1,079,783

The total vote in up-state New York in 1932 was: Roosevelt, Democrat, 1,079,783. Hoover, Republican, 1,353,907.

If Mr. Roosevelt this year gets in up-state New York only threefourths of the vote he got in 1932, his vote in that territory would be only 809,838. By the same inference the Republican vote in up-state New York this year should be one-fourth more than in 1932. One-fourth added to the Republican vote of 1932, which was 1,353,907, would be 1,692,383. j THese figures represent what the respective votes of Messrs. Roosevelt and Landon would be if the total vote this year were exactly the same as in 1932. Of course the total will not be the same. But it is valid to assume that these figures represent the proportions in which the two candidates will divide the vote this year.

This seems an extraordinary fore-
