¢ MONTGOMERY VOTE MAY BREAK RECORD Democrats Expected to Carry County With Excep- 1 tion of Urner for Judge. Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., November 2.— As a result of ideal weather and un- usual activity on the part of the workers of the two parties, a heavy vote Is being polled in Montgomery County today.. With the opening of the polls at 6 o'clock this morning, automobiles began bringing voters to the polls and returning them to their homes, and this is expected to be kept up without Interruption until the polls «<lose at 7 o'clock this evening. Based on reports from various parts of the county, it was predicted here this morning that the total vote would probably prove a record breaker for the county. In the two Rockville precincts ft was apparent that the Democratic ticket was being slashed from top to bottom, and it is understood the same was true of other precincts in the county. Democratic leaders insisted that the Republicans, especially in the lower section of the county, also indulging in wholesale ing, and this will offset to a large extent the Democratic defection, they sey. There 1s believed to be little doubt that Judge Hammond Urner, who is Republican candidate to succeed him- self as chief judge of the sixth Judicial circuit, comprising Mont- gomery and Frederick counties, will carry this county by a substantial majority. Upon the advice of party leaders many Democrats are under- stood to be giving him their sup- vort, while Republicans are believed to be voting solidly for him. The best opinion here is that, with the exception of the candidate for Judge, all of the Democratic candi- dates will probably carry the county by varying majorities, although it would occasion little surprise if one or two Republicans should slip in. Because of the long ballot, which contains 58 names, and the spaces for voting for or against a proposed amendment to the State constitution, the count of the vote is sure to be slow, and complete returns are not expected before daybreak or later HOWARD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT HONORED 67 Colored Baptist Churches Unite in Reception to New Head of School. Sixty-seven colored Baptist churches of Washington united last night in a reception to Rev. Mordecai Johnson, recently elected president of Howard Tniversity, at the Metropolitan Bap- ust Church.

INDIAN HEAD, Md., November 2—Two hundred and forty resi- dents of the Government reserva- tion at Indian Head today are de- prived of the right of franchise for the first time in 18 years. This situation has been brought about through a decision of the court rendered after a controversy arose over a dog license. About a year ago a resident of the reservation, having refused to purchase a license when ordered by county authorities, carried his case to court and was represented by a Federal attorney. Up to this time the State authorities had ex- ercised police jurisdiction on the reservation In" conjunction with Federal officers. In 1903, a law was passed giving residents of this raservation the right of franchise. This law, however, did not repeal the old law of 1900, which ceded the reservation to the Federal Government, with sole jurisdiction thereof, and the court, therefore, held that the residents were with- out right to vote as citizens of the State, ROCKVILLE.

W. P. Doyle, reporting on the pro- posed bazaar to be given during the week of November 29 to December 4 under auspices of the four associa- tions, explained that the idea was to promote better co-operation and town spirit and get all sections interested in one large affair, instead of each sec- tion having a separate bazaar, as formerly, to raise additional funds for needed improvements, It was proposed to bave representatives from each association working on each committee and the proceedg to be divided equally among !he\:wc!n- tions, to be used as each organiza- tion may see fit.

Each chairman will be au- thorized to select his committee from members of his assoclation. The ex- ecutive committee will include: A. L.

PRINCE GEORGES VOTE IS DUE TO BE HEAVY Line Forms Before Polls Open in Morning and Balloting Is Brisk Throughout Day. Special Dispatch to The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Novem- ber 2.—Clear, snappy weather this morning brought out a large number of voters throughout Prince Georges County. Opening of the polls at 7 o'clock found many voters already in line and the balloting continued brisk as the day wore on. A heavy portion of the vote, however, especially in the upper section of the county near the District of Columbia, is expected to be cast between 4 o'clock this aft- ernoon and the closing of the polls at 7. These badlots will be voted by persons who will visit the polls after leaving their places of employment in ‘Washington. Balloting was reported proceeding quietly and there were no indications of_disorder. ‘With the ballok containing 57 names, it was beligved that it will be at feast midnight, and in some in- stances early Wednesday morning or later, before the returns are availa- ble in some of the districts in the county. . Another indication that the count will be slow was furnished by the ap- parently large numbeir of voters who were not casting “straight” ballots. In Hyattsville district, which in- cludes three precincts, and where ft is believed the vote will total areund 1,600, it appeared that fossibly not more than a hundred ballots wwuld escape being scratched. Both Demo- crats and Republicarss were deter- mined to give their favorite s their support, regardless of his affiliation. It was plain that local questions, such as law enforcement and other con- siderations, also were being weighed by many voters. Examining Board Named. Majs. Ernest R. Gentry, Adna G. Wilde and Harry D. Offatt, Medical Corps, and Capt. Clyde W. Scogin, Dental Corps, attadhed to Walter Reed General Hospital, this city, have been appointed a board to examine candi- dates for the position of interne at that hospital.
