Plan to Outdo Hoover. Gov. Smith is alw: assured of a tremendous greeting from his own New York. But since Octobe , when Her- bert Hoover received so classical a welcome in “the home of my distin- guished opponent,” Manhattan Demo- crats have had a high-water mark set them. Word kas gone out that the ma must be topped. Nobody who knows the big city’s capacity for riotous demon- | strations doubts that it will organize | a tumult in honor of its Democratic | hero. It took Hoover 12 minutes to quiet his Madison Square Garden mob. | ‘They're betting in Wall Street that it'll | take “Al” half an hour to calm the cheering multitude. Th" governor plans to reach the platform correspondingly earlier than the hour his speech is to begin, in order that his time on the radio may not be curtailed. That Smith will carry New York City by a bumper majority is, of course, a foregone conclusion. The only ques- | tion puzzling Tammany Hall is whether it can roll up 500,000, 600,000 or 700,000 for him. Senator Copeland, Democratic candidate for re-election, told this writer that Smith will go to the Bronx with 700,000 majority in the greater city, meet an up-State’ Republican ma- jority of not more than 400,000 and thus win the Empire commonwealth by | 300.000. " Copeland bases his figuers on the city’s 1928 registration of 2,000,000, an increase of nearly 500,000 over a previous election. Smith’s city majori for governor was 519,000 in 1924 and 484,000 in. 1926. Senator Copeland says 4t will be no trick, with the aug- mented 1928 registration, for the gov- ernor to capture his home town by 700,000, How vastly the estimates of profes- PROF.

P. n alleges that all eleventh- ports of an impending Smith |landslide in New York and elsewhere in the East are circulated by Demo- cratic headquarters for their psycholog=- ical effect. He says bluntly that the Democrats “are licked in New York and know it.” If that is so, there is no indication of it anywhere in the upper regions of the General Motors Building. There one finds Chairman Raskob, Senators Gerry, Harrison and Tydings, “Jimmie” Gerard, Mrs, Belle Moskowitz, Breckin- ridge Long, Jouett Shouse, George Van Namee, Bruce Kremer, Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt and a host of smaller Demo- cratic fry speaking in accents of im- pressive confidence.

SLAYER T0O ANSWER CHARGE OF THREATS Nashville Hotel Man's Widow As- serts Defendant Is Menace to Her Safety. By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE.,, Tenn., November 1.— An echo of the tragedy in which Tur- ney M. Cunningham, manager of the Andrew Jackson Hotel, was slain by Walter L. Liggett, prominent Nashville business man, was expected this after- noon when Liggett appears in court as a defendant in peace proceedings brought by Mrs. Cunningham. Before Liggett was released on bond of $25,000 Tuesday on a charge of mur- der, Mrs. Cunningham asked that Lig- gett, who she charged had threatened her, be placed under a peace bond. The hearing this afternoon is a result of this action. Liggett is under peace bond of ,000. Mrs. Cunningham, who is expected to Virginia, after all, are not going to break the solid South—all these things are emphasized at 1775 Broadway as symbols of the “surprise” which lies just over th: horizon. A minimum of 280 electoral votes—14 more than a majority—is the numerical form official Democratic hope now takes.

The latter, she declared, had heen “violent” in his attentions toward her and insisted on calling upon her Monday night at the time of the tragedy. Pk Pigeons Beéat M. P. in Race. Pigeons defeated C.

They were revealed by a study of photo- raphs made with the large Harvard lescope in Peru. This brief statement from Harvard } College observatory marks another step | in one of the most amazing fields of discovery. For each of these newly discovered star groups is. in astronomi- cal belief, an enitre “universe,” or “extra galactic nebula.” Each one is separated from the earth by vast dis- tances, estimated to range from 100,000 up to as high as 100,000,000 light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in a year, which is 6,000,000,- 000,000 miles. The nebuae are the most distant of objects. To measure the distances from earth Mass.

The total number rec- orded thus far is given by Dr. Harlew Shapley, director of Harvard College observatory, as 30,000. Thay appear on photographic plates as dim masses of light. They exhibit several well de- fined shapes. One is that of a spiral, another spheroidal. There are nebulae of the form of spindles, and some are barred spirals. A fifth type is ir- regular, The best known of the irregular shapes are the Magellanic Clouds, which are visible to the eye unassisted, but which can be seen only from the Southern Hemisphere, There are two of them, the large and the small clouds. They le in the constellations Dorado and Tucana, 15 degrees from the South Pole. To the eye they appear as elongated ‘patches of stars of nebulae with_irregular extentions.

They are estimated as nearly one hundred thousand l'ght years distance from earth, with diameters of six or seven thousand light years, They lie outside the flat, cookie-shaped star cluster which embraces the galaxy or “universe” containing the carth.

This research is considered as probably the most interesting and important at the observatory. The 24- inch Bruce telescope, which recorded the 8,000 new galaxies, is under transfer to Bloemfontein, South Africa, where Harvard is establishing a new Southern Hemisphere observatory, under condi- tions more favorable to clear nights.

As the present campaign has progressed it has become increasingly evident that the only hope for legislation of a pro- gressive nature in the interest of the people as a whole lies in the Democratic party.” The governor said it was “a gratify- ing feature” that both United States |Senators, the 12 Representatives and all State house officers were standing by the party nominees, and urged voters to “vote the straight Democratic ence of musical experts recently held at |ticket and thus demonstrate to the Calcutta, a program was prepared for submission to the government.
