HOOVER TABULATES RETURNS AT HOME Gathers Fhrily: and ‘Friends Around Him for Long ‘Night Vigil. BY REX COLLIER, Staft Corfespondent of The Star. PALO ALTO, Calif, November 6.— * His ballot in the box, along with those of four members of his immediate family, Herbert Hoover this afternoon gathered a small circle of relatives and friends about him in the cozy study of his home and waited the verdict of the ciectorate. ‘The first returns, from two small towns in Massachusetts, reached him ffrom the Associated Press as he pre- pared to go to the polls this morning, and they brought a smile to his face. ‘The dispatches told him that the people of Mount Washington and Ashford in the Bay State had cast their vote over- whelmingly for him. Sporadic messages from other East- ern points began to trickle in after he had completed luncheon in the oak- panelled, beam-ceilinged dining room of his stucco residence on San Juan Hill. overlooking the 200-acre campus of Stanford University and the San Francisco Bay. Blackboards In Room. He sat at the same desk from which he broadcasted his final word to the voters last night. On the desk were & number of direct-wire transconti- nental telephones and in a room below him were leased telegraph wires. He centered his attention upon these com- munication series; for they were to tell him, sometime tonight or tomorrow, whether his three-month campaign for the presidency had been in vain. The crisis of an extraordinary career which had carrled bhim from an orphan, ‘campus laundry man and laborer to the threshold of the White House, Hoover appeared quietly, modestly con- fident that the final step into those sacred portals will have been success- fully negotiated by nightfall. Puffing a leng cigar and fingering a neil and notepa?;r in anticipation of ?:c;)ming returns, he chatted easily with his family and their friends of the ‘weather, incident of the trip West, and, ‘occasionally, of the election. Two big blackboards stcod ready for use in total- ing the electoral votes by States as they might come in during the evening. With him in the study, or just out- side the door in the spacious living To0m, were Mrs. Hoover; their two sons, Herbert. jr., and Allan; Mrs. Hoover, | ‘George Barr Baker, friend and adviser; Lewis Straus, war-time personal secre- tary; George Akerson, Hoover's assist- ant; Thomas P. C. Gregory, lawyer and next-door neighbor of the Hoovers, and one or two others, Dr. David Starr 'Jordan, president emeritus of the University and one of Hoover's first professors in his old days on the campus, also had been invited to come this evening and join in the ‘informal party. Press Men Invited. ‘Two seore newspaper men were in- vited to make themselves at home and drop in as they pleased to view the family circle. As press association representatives Teceived special returns during the aft- ernoon, they were taken into the study and read aloud. In another room played the Hoover grandchildren, Her- ‘bert, 3d, who celebrated his first birth- day yesterday, and vivacious little Peggy, two and a half years old. Hoover is extremely fond of these lively young- sters and he spent an hour this morning playing with Peggy. From the window of his study, the nominee looked uj a gorgeous Cali- fornia Jandscape, bathed in warm sun- shine and splashed with the green of close-cropped turf, the pastel shades of gigantic roses and chrysanthemums and geraniums, the shimmering blue of the day to the southeast and the shadowy background of the Contracosta Range of Mountains. On that broad, tropic-like campus at #he foot of the hill Hoover had come s @ 17-year-old Quaker lad to seek ad- mittance to the foundling university of Leland Stanford. His night schonl studies in Oregon had netted him all but a few of the necessary credits re- quired for matriculation. His determi- ‘nation to make-the grade won him the 1riendship of Prof. Jordan, however, and he was “given his chance.” Organized Students. As the candidate gazed out of the window his thoughts perhaps were cf ! the days when he 2nd his chum, Lester Hinsdale of Sacramento, reorganized the student government so thoroughly that (1’; has stayed organized that way to this y. Hinsdale would have been with him today but for an attack of illness. Mil- ton Esberg of San Francisco, another old friend, is staying at the Hoover home during the election period. After mark- ing their ballots in/the women’s club- house of the Stanford Union, amid the confusion of crackling arc lights and grinding motion picture cameras, the Hoover family went home and prepared for an afternooa automobile drive ‘through the palm-fringed driveways of the campus and the surrounding 7,000 acres of picturesque land owned by the university. Hurrying through luncheon, Mr. and Mrs. Eoover, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, jr., and Lewis Strauss set forth for their drive. Allan got into an open sport car ‘and whizzed down the hillside to visit his fellow students and professors. Returning from the drive greatly re- freshed, Hoover went into his study again and continued his vigil. If the returns seemed to be coming in too fast around dinner time, servants planned to bring him a buffet meal. Hoover gave orders, moreover, that a similar repast be served the newspaper men, and he :;m one of his boxes of choice cigars to | em. Factortum in Charge. * In charge of such household manage- | ment detail was Hoover's faithful and | efficient factotum, Boris, a bright-faced Serbian_and former American soldier, whom Hoover has had in his employ | since the Paris peace conference. Boris is sort of general manager of the Hoover household. Hoover planned to remain up as late tonight as the trend of returns con- tinued to claim his interest. The news- paper men were prepared to make an .all-night siege of it, if necessary. The ‘radio beside the stone fireplace in the living room was to be brought into use during lulls in the evening’s program. CHICAGO HAS QUIET DAY. Head of Board of Elections De- clares Voting Without Disorder. CHICAGO, November 6 (£).—An hour after the polls had closed County Judge Edmund K. Jarecki, head of the board of election commissioners, de- clared the election day to have been the quietest in Chicago's history. ““There have been no disorders gorth mentioning,” he declared. “Wa %und 2 few floaters and a few isolated at- tempts to intimidate voters.

REPUBLICANS HOLD EARLY MARGIN IN CONGRESS CONTEST (Continued From First Page.) show sitting members being re-elected except where there were vacancies. ‘The first upset in the House came in the election of James L. Whitley, Re- publican, in the thirty-eighth district of New York to the seat now held by Rep- resentative Meyer Jacobstein, Democrat, who was not seeking re-election. House Leader Tilson, Republican, of Connecticut, who ‘has had a hard fight, was shown re-elected by early returns. Early returns showed Representative Edward M. Beers, Republican, a mem- ber of the House District Committee, re-elected from the eighteenth Penn- sylvania district, and Representative George A. Weish, Republican, from the sixth Pennsylvania district. The latter is on the subcommittee that passes upon the District appropriation bill. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative “Uncle Tom" Butler, late chairman of the Naval Af- fairs Committee, James Folfenden (R.-P.) was elected. Snell Is Victorious. Representative Bertrand H. Snell (R.), chairman of the very important House Rules Committee, was returned a \\é\nner in the 3ist New York dis- ct. Representative Gale H. Stalker (R.), a member of the House District Com- mittee, leader in the fight to place the farmers’ market in southwest Wash- ington and to establish an airport here, was re-elected in the 37th New York district. Representative Hamilton Fish, jr. (R.), author of the bill to erect a stadium in the Capital in memory of Theodore Roosevelt, was re-elected in the 26th New York district. 34 Seats at Stake. The Republicans have had a much safer majority in the House than in the Senate during the present Congress, and for that reason interest is keen in the present election as to what will happen regarding the 34 senatorial seats at stake. When the last session of Congress adjourned, the line-up in the Senate stood 47 Republicans, 46 Democrats, 1 Farm-Labor member and 2 vacancies. The two vacant seats are normally Republican. One of the vacancles, that in Illinois, is being filled in this elec- tion, and the other is the seat for which Senator-glect Vare of Pennsyly vania is contending before the priv- ileges and_elections committee. Of the 34 Senate seats at stake 13 are now held by Republicans, 20 by Democrats and 1 Farm-Labor, Sen- ator Shipstead of Minnesota. Since the Democrats have so many more of their Senate seats at issue than the Republicans, the latter party has been regarded as possessing the best pros- pect of coming out of the election with an increase majority in the upper branch. Included in the group of Senators up for re-election are several of the Western Progressives, who, because of the close division recently existing be- tween the major parties in the Senate, have been able to exercise a balance of power. This Progressive group in- cludes members from both the Repub- lican and Democratic sides of the Sen- ate aisle. Contests Total 36. Although there are only 34 Senate seats involved in the election, there are 36 senatorial contests, the extra two be- ing to select one Senator each from New Mexico and Michigan to serve from now until March 4 to finish out unexpired terms. Of the senatorial elections, 31 are to be for complete six-year terms, the other five being for varying periods of unexpired terms, re- sulting from deaths during the past year. ‘The Maine senatorial election was held in September and resulted in the re-election of Senator Frederick Hale, Republican. The first contested district to be heard from was the ninth Michigan district, where Representative James C. Mc- Loughlin, Republican, was elected for his twelfth consecutive term. Representative John N. Garner of Texas, who has been considered a likely candidate for Speaker of the House should the Democrats gain control | ther2. was one of 57 House members of his party from Southern States who were assured of election by nomination in the primary elections below the Mason and Dixon line. Nine Repub- licvans also were assured places in the House, since five were unopposed, in addition to the four Republicans already elected in Maine. ‘Women in Race. ‘The political make-up of the House depended therefore upon the outcome of the remaining 366 contests. While the Senate will see the passin, of two three-term Senators, Reed. ol Missouri and McLean of Connecticut, both of whom will retire voluntarily, the House had the prospect of adding to its feminine membership, since more than a score of women sought seats there. All of the four present woman members were candidates to succeed themselves. Among the women who sought seats in the House were three Ruths, already prominent in politics. Mrs. Rutlf Hanna McCormick was the Republican candi- date for Representative at large from Illinois; Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, daugh- ter of William J. Bryan, campaigned for a seat from one of the Florida dis- tricts on the Democratic ticket, and Mrs. Ruth Baker Pratt, only woman member of the New York City Board of Aldermen, a Republican, ran in the seventeenth New York district.

All election crowd records for Wash- ington wera broken tonight by the vast throngs which turned out in front of the newspaper offices to get their elec- tion returns by bulletin and radio, Police of the first precinct estimated the crowd in front of The Star Build- ing at from 10,000 to 15,000 shortly before 10 o'clock and it then was being augmented rapidly by newcomers from the downtown motion picture theaters. “This is one of the largest crowds I ever saw gathered in one place in Washington,” declared Lieut. Francis Burke of the First Precinct, who was in charge of policing the crowd around The Star Building. “It certainly is the largest election crowd I ever saw and it is one of the quietest and most orderly throngs I ever handled. I should hesitate to make an estimate as to the number, but it is perfectly safe to say there are at least 10,000. That is a minimum estimate.” Lieut. Burke commanded a police de- tail of 27 men assigned exclusively to handle the crowd in front of The Star Building and traffic in the immediate vicinity. Members of the police detail estimated the throngs at from 10,000 to 15,000, none of their estimates run- ning below the 10,000 figure. The crowd. despite it. great size, was relatively quiet, and fro.: the cheering it was difficult to determine whether there was a predominating sentiment for either of the presidential candidates. The crowd began gathering in front of The Star Building before 6 o'clock and by 7 o'clock there were nearly 5,000 persons, filling Pennsylvania avenue from curb to curb except for the car tracks, which were kept open by steel cables. Many women were among the early arrivals and they led the gathering in the few spatters of handclapping which were heard during the early evening. Demonstrations Are ‘fild. ‘There were no indications from the applause as to the sentiments of the crowd. When bulletins were displayed showing that Hoover had taken a pro- nounced lead in some precincts there were a few mild handclaps. The dem- onstrations for Smith were no more enthusiastic. ‘The only really spontaneous applause during the first hour in front of The Star building occurred when, just after the loudspeakers had picked up a broad- casting of “The Sidewalks of New York,” two bulletins were flashed on the big motion picture screens, ons giving Smith a small lead in the first New York City precinct to report and the other showing him piling up & heavy lead in a number of South Carolina precinets. ‘The combination of music and bulletins caused a smart applause and a few scattered cheers. The streets around The Star Building were cleared of automobiles soon after 6 o'clock and before 7 o'clock the crowds in the Avenue were so dense all automobile traffic was detoured by way of E street or to the south of the Avenue, Platforms Taken Up. The Capital Traction Company had gangs of Workmen on the Avenue soon after 6 o'clock taking up the street car platforms on Pennsylvania avenue between Eleventh and Twelfth streets and Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets to make more space for the crowds in front of the newspaper movie screens. The platforms were replaced temporar- ily outside of the crowded zones. Though the crowd in front of The Star Building had increased tremen- dously in number by 8 o'clock, it was relatively little more enthusiastic than earlier in the evening, though it was beginning to warm up a bit as the bul- letins on the screen indicated more de- cisive returns from various parts of the country. Interest in Searchlight. Considerable interest was shown in the big searchlight operated by the Army in co-operation with The Eve- ning Star on the Monument Grounds. Knots of people were gathered at cor- ners in the downtown section watching the light and commenting on the results indicated by its moving beam. The motion picture houses along F street all reported heavy attendance, and some show of enthusiasm as results were announced at intervals during the performances. A majority of the thea- tergoers went to the various newspaper offices following the shows and aug- mented the gatherings there. The auditorfum of the National Press Club, where the returns were received by radio, was well crowded during the early part of the evening, with fresh arrivals evéry few minutes, ROBINSON SPENDS NIGHT BEFORE RADIO By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., November 6.— With his wife at his side as she has been throughout his long campaign, Senator Joe T. Robinson, Democratic vice presidential nominee, tonight sat before a radio in his home and listened to the returns from today's election which he hoped would mean victory for him and his running mate, Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The Senator spent the most quiet day in perhaps two months, leaving his home only long enough to cast his vote at a little drug siore around the corner from where he lives, and to visit Demo- cratic State headquarters. Although it was late before any re- turns began coming in from over the State, the Senator received some unoffi- clal reports during the day which slrengthened his belief that Arkansas would give him a tremendous majority. One of these was from a precinct in Faulkner County, which reported that of 88 votes cast up to early afternoon, 81 of them were for the Smith-Robin- = son_ticket. 10. William W. Griest (R.-L.). 15.
