NAVY FLYERS SEEK 30 NEW RECORDS Greatest Exhibition of Naval Aviation Scheduled for Saturday. 1 Naval aviators from the air station | at Anacostia, D.

On this occasion, which was to have heen the date for the International Schnelder Cup seaplane race, but which was canceled with the with- crawal of entries from Great Britain nd Italy, all naval aircraft in the tast will be mobilized for what the ureau of Aeronautics terms the| reatest exhibition of naval airplan ying ever staged under its auspices. | Lieuts.

Even in 1916 Hughes car- rled the State by 43,000 over Wilson, and Harding four years ago defeated Cox by 62,000. The Socialist party candidates have polled around 6.000 votes In the past, and these votes will all ‘be cast for La Follette. The “reds” in West Virginia frankly ad- mit their ruddy hue and declare their support for “Bob” La Follette. Two years ago Senator Neely, Democrat, was elected over his Republican op- ponent, Sutherland, by approximately | 13000 votes. There was a revolt against conditions then prevailing, and Neely made his appeal particular- 1y to the labor element in the State. It is sald here that at the time, and prior thereto, there was friction be- tween the Neely Democrats and the Chilton and John W. Davis Democrats, and that Neely is more likely to be a follower of La Follette in the Senate than of John W. Davis should the latter be elected President. The Democrats deny there is any present triction in their party. Polls and straw votes held to be meaningless—by the party against which they register. Most of the criticism of polls this year has come from Democratic_source: bearing on the West Virginia situa- tion, taken by various newspapers, show Coolidge with a substantial lead usually are | over Davis, and La Follette running third. One poll in particular—taken throughout the State by the Wheeling News, shows the following results, to date: Coolidge, 2,056; Davls, 1.626, and La Follette, 259. The same poll shows Col. Guy D. Goff, Republican nominee for the Senate, leading former Sena- tor Chilton, Democrat, 2,171 to 1,671, and In the race for governor, the Republican nominee, Assistant Seere- | tary of Agriculture Howard W. Gore, leads Judge Fisher, 2,130 to 1.6 Farmers Not Hasl Hit. While some of the farmers of West Virginia may bolt the old parties and vote for La Follette. they probabl be the exception. The farmers of West Virginia have never been as hard hit by the agricultural depression as were the farmers farther west. This vear they are in fair shape. The Republi- can nominee for governor, Gore, is par- ticularly strong with the farming pop- ulation. His job as Assistant Secretary of Agricuiture is a help to him. He is likely to run ahead, even of Coolldge, on the Republican ticket, and there seems little doubt about his victor: at the polls. His opponent, Judge is dis!lked by some of the labor people because of the injunctions he has handed down against their or- ganizations. The senatorial race this vear is of particular interest. Should the Demo- crats win the seat which is now held by Senator E kins, it will mean further control of the Elkins was not a candi- date to succeed himself. Col. Goff, who, like John W. Davis, hails from Clarksburg, is a =on of the late Sena- tor Goff, who was a power in West Virginia for many years. Goff is critl- cized because for many years he ha lived out of the State. Both Chilton and Goff are conducting active cam- paigns. Chilton will get some of the upper house. labor votes in preference to Goff, and | some of the La Follette supporters, giving rise to charges that Chilton was engaged in a deal with the La Follette leaders by which he would gain at the | expense of John W. Davis. This has been flatly denfed by Senator Chilton. hausted to slecp and drowned the voices of those aw Hourly Inspections Made.

The delegation left New York at midnight on a special train and went n @ sightseeing trip about the city \efors coming to the White House at 2 o'clock. Gen. Charles H.

It is composed of representa- tives of 48 different trades and busl nesses and will hold individual meet- ings. It will conduct a large Repub- lican rally in New York on November 1, at which Secretary of State Hughes will be the principal speaker. Banners Are Carried. A number of banners were carried Ly the delegation a it stood about the White House grounds, one of them interesting the President great- 1y because of its age and tattered condition. ‘It was that 6f the Mer- chant Tailors’ Sound Money League, which took an active part in the Me- Kinley campaign of 1896.

Alaskan Town to Be Sold. /Sala of the town of Tenakee, on Chicago Island, a few miles southeast of Juncau, Alaska, has been_ author- ized by the Interior Department. The town has been divided into 23 blocks of 141 lots and contains approximat \y 78 acres. George A. Parks, assist- int supervisor of public lands in \laska, was named trustee and was Jirected to give residents of the town tho first opportunity to purchase the lote. Factional strife among the Democrats may injure Chilton's chances for elec- tion, however. Economy Promised. In the State campaign the Demo- crats are promising eosfiomies in gov- ernment expenditures. They charge that the expenses of the State govern- | ment have increased from $4,500,000 1 four years ago, when a Democratic governor sat in the State House, to $11,000,000 under Republican rule, Muck of the money is expended for appointive boards, commissions and bureaus. The Democrats attack also the gross sales tax now levied in the State, promising to repeal it if placed in power. Democrats are making a strong bid to increase their representation in Congress. two Republicans and four Democrats. In the first district, which Includes Wheeling, and is regarded usually as strongly Republican, George W. Old- ham is campaigning strenuously, both for John W. Davis and for himself. Klan Leaders Silent. The Ku Klux Klan has not oficlally indorsed any of the candidates. But the Democrats believe that the Klan will throw its {nfluence to the Re- publicans. They are using this ar- gument in an effort to line up the negro voters, of whom there are sev- eral thousand in this district. In fact, both the Democratic and the Re- { publican campaign managers have thrown negro speakers of prominence into the State, the ons in the hope of gaining votes and the other in the {hope of reteining what they have had 1in_the past. The Democrats claim the State for Davis by about 80,000. The Repub- licans go them one better and say Coolidge will win by 40,000 at least. Neutral observers put the State in the | Republican column by about 22,000. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, the Repub- lican nominee for Vice President, who is popular in the State, was the prin- clpal speaker at a big Republican rally held here last night. Thousands of Republicans of Wheeling and nearby places turned out to welcome Gen. Dawes, and a big parade pre- ceded the speechmaking.

Feng's action in withdrawing Lis troops from the Manchurian- Chihltan border, the message said, was brought about by a desire on the part of the Christian general to adopt the same attitude as that shown by Gen.

Mil- lington, an Australlan, who was the last foreigner to leave Shanhaikwan before its occupation by the Mukden troops: “A terrific artillery match along the whole Shanhaikwan front, from the mouritalns to the sea, a distance of nine miles, .had raged for 27 hours without intermission, when my train steamed out of the station for Ching- wantao, Aerial bombs marrowly missed the:train as we got under way. “Thousands of reinforcements had been rushed up to the firing line under a withering fire of high ex plosive shrapnel, which the Mukden- ites sent over the Great Wall along the railway line, where Wu Pei Fu's fresh troops must detrain to assist their comrades at the front. casualties were very heavy. How those in the front lines will ever be evacuated, God alone knows. It was plain to every one that the heavy bombardment would compel the Chih- lis to withdraw to their second line. “I was informed that stand would be made at Chingwantao, with the jobject of saving as much as possible of the huge quantities of supplies and rolling stock which are congested at that point.

Since that time Mrs. Kuhlman has heard nothing from -him. She reported tho disap- pearance of her husband to the police, who immediately broadcast a descrip- tion of him. Domestic troubles had no part in the disappearance of the man, according to his wife, who de- clares they have Tved happily to- gether since their marriage seven years ago.
