. Close Election May Await ie Soldier Vote for Decision

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent NE WYORK, Oct. 2¢—There Is at least a theoretical statistical possibility that delayed counting of soldier votes could keep the result of the Nov, 7 presidential election in doubt for days or weeks, | An unofficial United Press compilation shows that upward of 4000,000 ballots have been sent to servicemen. If President Roosevelt and Governor Thomas E. Dewey should come'to a photo finish in the civilian - voting, the winner might not be determined until the last votes from the military aye

The deadlines for the soldier vote count vary in different states, ranging on up from election day in most states to Dec. T in Nebraska.

Predict Close Vote

All absentee ballots—soldiers’ and civilians’ alike—must be counted on Nov. 7 in every state but 11. These service ballots out from Penn11 states have a total of 118 elec-|gyiyania, If a close contest develops toral votes. Many persons are convinced that next month's election will be a close one and for this reason, the service vote in one or more states may Be a vital factor. In the 11 states where the soldier vote may be tabulated later than Nov. 7, the votes that are inservice people constitute a figure on Nov. 7 may be counted then|not far below the popular vote But in each {margin by which President Rooseof these states there are dead-|velt beat Wendell L.

Try to Avoid Delay

Military authorities are “making every effort to get the vote in early. Soldier ballots take precedence over all mails except two kinds classifield as secret. However, the exigencies of war may cause delay from some areas. Two big states, either of which could prove to be the key to victory in the elections—California and Pennsylvania—are among the group with the latest deadlines for the soldier vote. It is estimated that 175,000 California service men and women have received absentee ballots. In that state civilian absentee ballots may be counted through Nov. 13, but soldier votes can be accepted through Nov. 24. There are some 500,000 armed

in either or both of these states, the soldier tally will decide which candidate gets their sizable bloc of elec toral votes.

Just what percentage of these ballots will be voted is not known. But the Democrats persistently argue, and quite persuasively, that Mr. Roosevelt will have a majority of the armed service vote, although size of this majority is hotly disputed. Democrats point out that the men and women of the armed services are from the younger brackets of the electorate where the

administration considers itself strongest. There are those, on the other

hand, who contend that these young people are likely to be strongly influenced by what their own families propose to do on election day.
