SEN. HARDING SPENDS DAY IN OPEN AIR MARION, Ohio.. Nov. 2.r-Warren Gamaliel ' Harding tonight had the greatset birthday party of his life. Surrounded by members of his family and a circle of neighbors and personal friends, he received quietly at his home' here the tribute of millions of voters. ' . v - .The smile of confidence he has worn for weeks broadened as he read the early returns and began to receive a flood of congratulatory messages, hailing him as president-elect. He deferred any formal comment, however, until the results should have "been established beyond all daubt. Takes Auto Ride. During the day he outwardly has concerned himself very little with the pending national decision. With Mrs. Harding he voted during the morning and then made off for a 40-mile automobile ride and for a game of golf at '.he Sciota club near Columbus. He returned in the early evening. his face flushed by the raw fall air and his spirits heightened by the tramp over the buddy golf links. Re turns collected by The Associated Press were delivered to the senator in his home during the evening from the special leased wire which has been installed with one hundred feet of his front porch since the campaign began.:.. He scanned the presidential and congressional figures with an equal show of interest, for he has asked the people repeatedly for a Republican congress to put the party's legislative program in the statute! books.DAYTON, Ohio. Nov. 2. Other than rasting his vote early in the day. Governor Cox, Democratic presidential candidate, apparently took only passive interest in the election, but tonight he went to hi3 newspaper office to watch the returns. The governor was smiling when he reached the office at 7:30 p. m, ac companied by Mrs. Cox, but made no comment on the election. At that time, the newsboys were in ihe streets with the first extras, car rying news unfavorable to the candi date. Outside his office a big crowd had gathered to await the record of j 1 be vote and It greeted the governor i with a cheer simultaneously as a bul-1 Ictiu showed that the governor had"! carried 12 of the 265 precincts in Moni gomery county, including Dayton, by 300. - - SOCIALISTS CLAIM COERCION AT' POLLS (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 2 Adolph S. Germer, New York organizer of the Socialist party, in a statement issued at party headquarters here tonight declared that the usual tactics of intimidation and coercion followed by henchman of the old parties in evidence in previous elections, were also evident in the election today. A "new method in strong Socialist districts to cut. down the workers' vote was the inadequate facilities for handling the. big number of balloters," Germer said, "resulting in Socialists 1cing compelled to wait from one to two hours before being able to vote. There is no doubt that the Socialist party lost thousands of votes through ll'ese tactics," Germer said. DEBS HEARS RETURNS IN HIS PRISON CELL ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 2. Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate for the presidency, received the election returns tonight in the federal penitentiary here where he is serving a sentence for violation of the espionage law.
