NEW REGSTRATON TO DNSH VOTE - Marylanc! Roliticians Alarmed by Prospective Havoc in Both Parties. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 17.—The next registration may play havoc with po- litical Standings in Maryland, and poli- ticlans are alarmed, A new registra- tion is necessary under the law, and a heavy decrease is expected. Mayor Jackson estimated 50,000 names in. Baltimore alone will be dropped from the books. No matter how many times a man has voted before, he won't be able to vote in November unless he registers in September. At present 249,129 Baltimoreans are registered. That is the cumulative re- sult of one general and two supple- mentary registrations. Politicians fig- ure that even if every effort is made by the political machines to get people to the booths, the mumber will fall short of the present figure. It is a physical impossibility, they say, to register that number in the four days allotted to registration. Many Voters Absent. - In addition, many people are away .in September. Others are too busy, haying just returned from vacations. With “thousands of voters losing their rights, as it seems they will un- der the new registration, nobody claims the power to tell what will hap- pen in November, though the effect, it is said, will be more extensively felt by Republicans than by the majority party Leaders haven't said much publicly about this situation, but are figuring out how to make things safe. In private conferences if’s their chief topic of conversation. Women Are Active. The enforcement question continues to dominate the activity of woman leaders of both parties, while dry can- didates and their supporters are keep- ing up interest by demands for office holders who will follow the letter of the law. Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson of Chevy Chase, who recently bolted the Demo- cratic woman's organization of the State and founded the United Demo- cratic Law Enforcement Clubs, will address a meeting at Olney Tuesday night. RSNt e LYON VILLAGE. LYON VILAGE, Va, July 17 (Special).—Lyon = Village has mo “selfish motives” in calling on Gov. Byrd for an investigation of “all phases” of the Lee boulevard matter, the secretary of the Citizens’ Associa- tion today advised the governor by letter. This community *fortunately is so located that it can have no selfish motives in taking an interest in this vital subject,” Gov. Byrd was in- formed. “No rhatter which route—southerly or direct—eventually is designated for this magnificent highway,” the letter declares, “the residents of Lyon Vil- lage will have ready access to the new bridge. The southerly or longer route recommended by the Lee High- way Association follows a straight line to the Porter Woods, northwest of Fort Myer, and so does the “straight-to-the-bridge” route; and it 1s in the Porter Woods that Lyon Village citizens would make easiest connection with efther route. Lyon Village, therefore, will be benefited elther way. 3 For Public Welfare. “In taking a hand in this highly momentous situation the citizens of Lyon Village have been guided solely by a bona fide and unbiased desire to work for the public welfare, which, in light of recent agitation, has been in danger of subversion. “Realizing it would be futile to tempt to look into so grave a situation alone, limited in authority as such a civic group necessarily must ‘be, but convinced that the matter, if left unsettled, would threaten the success ofia great public enterprise, the Lyon Village Citizens’ ‘Association felt con- stfained to call on you, as governor of this Commonweaith and_protector of the people's rights, to clear away the clouds of doubt in the interests, not only of the citizens of Arlington County, but of the Lee Highway As- sociation, of property owners along the right of way, and of all other parties concerned.” Meeting July 28th.
