through the Fishkills and Catskills had been gray and cold, throwing a mantle of bleakness about the presidential caravan. The temperature was 32 degrees when the President, well bundled in a great coat with fur collar and wearing a battered brown hat, left Hyde Park accompanied by neighbor Henry A, Morgenthau, his secretary of treasury. Press and radio men joined the presidential party at Poughkeepsie. Out into the bronzed countryside, where nearly all but the evergreens had shed their leaves, the entourage moved at high speed.

A. C. buttons.

Argument Flares

Ten precinct to the courthouse to get “writs of error.” In a statement yesterday, Mr Emmert charged the two Democratic members of the state election board of “trying to steal the election” by sanctioning the use ofl affidavits at the polls.” The Democratic members, GovScifricker and David M. Lews,

laws, approved by the chairmen of both major parties, provided for the use of affidavits at the polling places and that there should not be “any last-minute change in the agreed interpretation of the law.”

Board Issues Opinion

“We believe,” said the Democratic state clection board members, “that every qualified registered voter thould be given an cpportunity to vote and’ that no voter should be disfranchised because of the inadvertance, neglect and incompetence of the ~registration officials . . . “We sincerely helieve that to change the interpretation of _the law at this late date, and after this interpretation has been furnished to the election boards throughout the state, would result in great | confusion and a gross fraud to | thousands of qualified registered! voters, “In large centers, such as in In-| dianapolis, it would be physically | impossible for the voters whose | names have been {illegally omitted | to go to the courthouse in order | to procure a correction of the! clerk's registration list.” Orders Are Conflicting Adding to the confusion over the errors in the registration records themselves were the conflicting or|ders issued yesterday by the Democratic - controlled state election {board and Republican Attorney General James Emmert on the use of affidavits at polling places. The state election board held that persons with registration receipts but whose names were hot on the poll books could vote by getting | [two legal voters to sign affidavits (for them, certifying that they were legal voters. Mr. Emmert held, however, that | this was illegal, that a person with | a registration receipt but whoBe | name was not on the poll book must go to the courthouse to get a8 “writ of eror” before he could vote.
