SMITH’S DEFEAT WORST EXCEPT TAFT’S IN 1912 Estimate of Popular Vote Gives Hoover Majority of 7,000,000. New York Result Is Bitter Pill for Loser—Roosevelt Looms as 1932 Candidate. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Herbert Hoover of California has been swept into the presi- dency by a tremendous vote. The returns indicate that the Republi- can nominee has received 444 elec- toral votes and has carried 40 of the 48 States. Massachusetts is in doubt, but probably will go to Smith. Four features of the na- tional election stand out: 1. For the first time since recon- HERBERT HOOVER. struction days the Republicans have broken into the solid South, Hoover carrying 4 out of the 10 States which hitherto preserved their Democratic regularity. The four States going for Hoover are Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia. 2. The “farm revolt” counted upon by the Democrats to give Carolina in the Hoover group con- tinued to swing near an even di- wvision. 2 All of his calculations of victory crushed under the avalanche, Gov. Smith conceded the election of his opponent long before compilation of the record-breaking vote had neared ~completion. His own State of New York, the corner stone of his hopes, had turned against him and given its great block of 45 electoral votes to Hoo- ver. At least two Southern States, Virginia and Florida, were showing substantial evidence of going Republican for the first time since ‘the Civil War, while in Texas and North Carolina as well the count hovered at the danger line. Farm Belt Intact. Nor was there any evidence in the yeturns which piled in overnight that the Democratic crusade into the farm country would net Smith a single elec- toral vote. On the contrary, from the Alleghenies to the Rockies. ihe farm Stabgs were reporting hourly-increasing majorities for Hoover and Curtis. Even ‘Wisconsin, where much dependence had been placed in a coalition of Democrats and La Follette Republicans, swung de- cisively away from the Democrats’ col- umn after giving Smith the edge on the early returns. IND Suc{l high-water mark as 444 elec- toral votes ever has been reached in any previous presidential election. Even in 1912, when the Republican strength was split between Taft and mosgvelt.l Wilson had only 435. Harding had 404 in the sweep of 1920 and Coolidge, 382 four years ago. Thy great size of the popular vote was emphasized when it was shown that with a little more than half of the precincts reporting, Hoover and Smith had rolled up a combined figure of 21,477,330. Of this number Hoover received 12,- 373,080 and Smith 9,104,150. This gave Hoover a majority at the time of 3,268,- 930. Four years ago John W. Davis received 136 electoral votes against 382 for President Coolidge, but Mr. Coolidge had a plurality of 7,338,519. The total Vote in 1924 was 29,091,417 and Davis received 8,386,503, Total May Be 35,000,000, Should the ratio of this year's vote continue through the precincts yet to be counted the total vote would be in the neighborhood of 35,000,000. Al- though 43,000,000 persons registered for the election, it will be several days be- for it can be said definitely exactly how many voted. . No account was taken in this esti- mate of the votes cast for candidates of minor parties. The measure in whioch the result of the presidential balloting would be re- flected in congressional and other Jocal contests was not yet fully apparent today. It was apparent that there will be Republican gains in both Senate and House, but the incomplete returns showed no sweeping number of over- turns. The very wide prevalence of the split ballot was apparent in the fact that many of the States which were rolling up Hoover majorities today still were keeping Democratic candidates for gov- ernor and Senator in the lead. City Vote Surprises. One of the great surprises for the Democrats—and there were many aof them victory in a half dozen or more Republican States of the West and Middle West failed to materialize. 3. While Gov. Smith ran well in many of the big cities of the coun- try, Mr. Hoover also showed strength in these cities. This was true in Chicago, Baltimore and even in New York. 4. The fight for modification or repeal ‘of the prohibition laws, led by Gov. Smith, has been de- cisively lost. J Smith May Get Eight. Gov. Smith apparently has carried only seven States, six in the South and one in New England. If he carries Massachusetts he will have eight States. With Massachusetts counted for him Smith will have 87 electoral votes. In point of the electoral votes he is the worst-beaten candidate of any of the major parties, except William Howard Taft, Republican, in the Bull Moose split of the Republican party in 1912, In that year Roosevelt, running as a Progressive, received 88 electoral votes. While the tabulation of the popular vote throughout the country is not com- plete, it is estimated that Mr. Hoover’s plurality will be abeut 7,000,000. The Republican sweep, due to a great wave of sentiment for Mr. Hoover and of sentiment agains thrown into the lap of the Republican nominee practically all of the States which were considered doubtful, and even some of those which were con- sidered safe for Smith. New York Result Hurts. ‘The result in New York State, Gov. Smith’s home State, is a bitter pill for the Smith Democrats, Mr. Hoover carried the State with a lead of ap- proximately 100,000. While the up-State Republican lead was not as larg: as that-claimed by the Republican leaders in hteir pre-election forecast, the Smith lead in Greater New York was material- 1y less than his supporters had expected. Franklin D. Roosevelt apparently has been elected Governor of New York by about 40,000 over his Republican ponent, Attorney General Albert Ot- tinger. Mr. Roosevelt’s victory may prove to be of national importance. No man has given Gov. Smith more wholehearted support than Roosevelt. He consented to run for governor at a possible sacrifice of his health in order to aid his leader and friend. Even now, the possibility of his being selected as the man to rally the Democratic forces is under discussion. He looms as a | possible nominee of the Democrats for President in 1932, This, of course, is predicated on the belief that the final returns from New York will show him a victor, Smith Elimination Seen. The result of the election yesterday, it is believed, has effectually eliminated Gov. Smith from consideration for the Democratic nomination four years hence. Eut whether he is so eliminated or not, he will doubtless have much to say about the next candidate of the Democratic party. That he has a huge following among the Democrats in the North and East and in some of the States of the West has been shown con- clusively. What would be more likely, it is argued, than that Gov. Smith should give his approval to the man who nominated him three times for President and worked for his election, tnem compined in the returns of the 48 Stotes—was the strength developed by_Ho the cities. (Ceatinied on Page 6, Column 6) It was in the Gov. Smith made his best run appar- ently in some of the New England States and in New York. He has carried t Gov.

PALO ALTO, Calif., November 7.— With memories of the tumultuous battle of the ballots last night still whirling in his mind, Herbert Hoover awoke today to a new world of oppor- tunity in his role of President-elect of the United States and plunged into the baffling task of readnig a mountain of congratulatory telegrams. Nearly 4,000 of the messages had poured into his home from all parts of the world before he retired last night, including one from his defeated oppo- nent, and thousands more flooded over- taxed communication wires today. He sought, seclusion in his study so that he could answer at least the more im- portant ones. Overwhelmed at the completeness of his victory—the supreme triumph of a sensational career that has known no defeat since he set out from the farm- ing fields of Iowa to seek ‘fame and fortune in the Far West—Hoover looked forward humbly to the opportunity to serve & country which had given him, a poor Quaker orphan boy, * chance.” Greeting to Townsfolk. He summed up his feelings in a husky word 'of greeting to the wild and tous thousands of fellow townsfolk who marched up San Juan Hill last night, with Sousa’s Band in the lead, to pay him rousing tribute. * “I thank you all for coming up here to greet us,” he said, standing in the glare of arc lights on the terraced roof of his imposing California home. “I do appreciate it from the bottom of my beart. I thank you.” To the millions of American citizens —Underwood Photo. ‘Total 13 503 2,018 9,086 1,566 169 219 1,263 1,253 17 35 6,398 1,017 169 212 680 1,494 9 5,913 2,739 1,286 1,697 3,723 565 618 900 1,076 2,723 620 841 2,214 450 636 177 278 1,102 4 8,004 1,325 285 8,034 2,528 559 6,436 194 442 565 2,230 228 434 245 1,497 Louisiana , Maine .

Speech!” rang in his ears. The scenes on San Juan Hill iast night will linger indelibly in the mem- ories of thosej privileged to be there. All of Stanford's 3,500 students and all of Palo Alto’s citizenry turned out en masse as success seemed sure and laid siege to the big Spanish house, which overlooks the scenes of Hoover's early college struggles. The shouts of frenzied college boys, the boom of burstin, bombs overhead, the stirring strains o! the March King’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” and_the chorus of college yells an wnfis blended into a reckless, spine-chilling medley that cafnot described on paper.

NEW YORK, November 7.—A spec- tacular rally in stock prices was Wall Street's response at the opening of to- day's market to the election of Herbert Hoover as President of the United States. Curtiss Aeroplane opened with & block of ‘5,000 shares at $144.75, a gain of $10, and Timken Roller Bearing, Missouri Pacific, General Motors, Ra- dio and Standard Oil of New Jersey opened with gains of $2 to $4 a share. A tremendous accumulation of buying orders had poured into the market over election day. Blocks of 5,000 to 20,000 shares appeared on the tape at frequent intervals. Nearly every active stock opened $1 to $5 a share higher, Many Gains Scored. Standard Oil of New Jersey, which ordinarily moves within-extremely nar- row limits, opened with a block of 20,300 shares at $52,50, up $2.50 and a new high record. General Motors, which was heavily sold just before the close of the market on Monday, opened with a block of 8,000 shares at $224.50, a gain of $3.50 and duplicating the year's high record. -Atlantic Refining (new stock), opened with a block of 10,000 shares at $59.87%, up $2.25. Bullish demonstrations were par- ticularly pronounced in the public utili-/ ties. American & Foreign Power and Commonwealth Power each opened up more than 2 points at new high records. Public Service of New Jersey opened with a block of 15,000 shares at §70.75, up $1.75, and National Power & Liul)t w?(h block of 10,000 shares at $42.87%2, up $1. vA‘tumnlwus roar of voices greeted the sounding of the opening gong. Near- 1y all of the leading Stock Exchange houses sent their active floor members to the exchange to assist in the execu- tion of the large volume of orders which poured into their offices from all over the world. . Houses with international connections reported an unusually large number of foreign orders.

PARTY MAKES CLEAN SWEEP IN MARYLAND Montgomery and Prince Georges Give Goldsborough Lead—Zihl- man and Gambrill Re-elected to House—Metzerott Carries the Latter County. As Maryland and Virginia rolled jup substantial majorities for l Hoover and Curtis, throwing those ;States definitely today in the Re- publican column, the counties of both States nearest to Washing- ton added their majorities to the mounting Republican totals. Even the independent city of Alexan- dria gdve a majority for Hoover and Curtis, the first time it has ever shown a majority for a Re- publican presidential nominee. Hoover and Curtis carried Mont- gomery County and Prince Georges County in Maryland, both adjacent to the District of Colum- bia, and Arlington County, Va. directly across the Potomac River from the National Capital. . The majorities in each of these coun- ties were definitely and substan- tially Republican for the national ticket. Fairfax County, Va., only a few miles from this city, was also carried easily by Hoover and Curtis. ‘The Republicans made a clean sweep in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties, Md. These two counties gave majorities for Phillips Lee Goldsbor- ough, Republican candidate for United States Senator, and for the Republican candidates for Representatives in Con- gress. Moore Gets Big Vote. Arlington and Fairfax Counties, Va., and Alexandria city gave substantial votes to Representative R. Walton Moore, Democrat, of the eighth con- gressional district, directly across the Potomac from Washington, and Unit- ed States Senator Claude A. Swanson, Democrat, neither of whom had a Re- publican opponent. Montgomery County, Md. complete, gave a majority of 2,531 to Hoover and Curtis; 975 to Goldsborough, and 390 to Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of the sixth congressional district of Maryland, who is chairman of the House committee on the District of Columbia. With three precincts out of 22 still missing in the count on the amendment to the State constitution, Montgomery County has given 3613 votes for the amendment and 2,354 against it. This amendment proposes to increase the pay of members of the State Legislature. ‘The Republican sweep in Montgomery County was regarded as highly sig- nificant in view of the fact that it has been a rock-ribbed Democratic County since the Civil War. Metzerott Carries County. Prince Georges County complete gave the following majorities to the Repub- lican ticket: Hoover and Curtis, 3,113; Goldsborough, - 2,309, and Oliver Metz- erott, Republican candidate for Repre- sentative in Congress for the fifth Maryland district, 567. This is Metz- erot’s home cbunty and his victory there was expected, although he has apparently lost the district to his Dem- ocratic opponent, the present incum- :enll\lt. Representative Stephen N.

It is estimated that when the missing precincts are heard from the amendment will have been in- jd,orlse(l in the county by about 300 ma- jority. Representative Zihlman's vietory in his fight for re-election seems assured, although returns from all of the coun- ties of Western Maryland which are in- cluded in the sixth congressional dis- trict are not yet in. He is leading his Democratic_opponent, David J. Lewis, by about 8,500, with only normally Re- publican precincts still unreported. ‘With returns in the fifth Maryland congressional district complete, except for a few missing precincts in Arundel County, it appears that Repre- sentative Gambrill, Democrat, has a lead over Metzerott that is not likely to be overcome.

Herbert Hoover will enter upon the office of President with a Con- gress in which his party will have substantially increased majorities in both the Senate and House. Congressional returns thus far show the Republicans have cap- tured six Democratic seats in the Senate and made a xet gain of 18 seats in the House, with a num- ber of contests in both branches still hanging in the balance. The rising tide of Republican votes carried over to the Republican side in the Senate seats that have been oc- cupied' by Democrats, as follows: Delaware—Senator Bayard, Demo- crat, beaten for re-election by J. G. Fownsnd, REM- ?r-u Is Defeated. Maryland—Senator Bruce, Democra’ and member of the Senate District committee, defeated for re-election by former Gov. Phillips L. Goldsborough, Republican.

Democratic seats, the Republicans further added their numerical strength in the upper branch by elect- ing Otis F. Glenn to the Illinois seat which has remained vacant since the Senate declined to admit Frank L. Smith. Glenn defeated A. J. Cermak, Democrat. During the last session of Congress, the lire-up in the Senate stood as fol- lows: 47 Republicans, 46 Democrats, 1 Farm-Labor and 2 seats vacant. The returns thus far from yesterday’s ballot- ing indicate the new line-up as follows: Republicans, 54; Democrats, 40; Farm« Labor, 1, and 1 vacancy. The remain- ing vacancy is the Pennsylvania seat of Senator-elect Vare, whose case is still being considered by a Senate committee. The calculations as to the line-up of the new Senate leave several interesting races still unsettled. In West Virginia Senator Neely, Democrat, member of the District com=- mittee, up for re-election, was traile ing his Republican opponent, Dr. Henry D. Hatfleld, on incomplete re- turns, as follows: One thousand three hundred and one_ precincts gave Hat- field 195,190 and Neely 183,886. With three New York City districts and 619 upstate districts missing, Sen- ator Royal S. Copeland, Democrat, led Alanson B. Houghton by 110,491 in the United States senatorial contest. The vote war: Copeland, 1,981,208. Houghton, 1,870,717, Definite returns were belng awaited from remaining senatorial elections, as follows: Senator Ashurst, Demo- crat, running for re-election in Ari- zona; Senator Vandenberg, Repub- lican, Michigan; Senator Frazier, Re- ublican, North Dakota; Senator Dill, 'mocrat, of Washington and Senator Kendrick, Democrat of Wyoming. Other senatorial elections of yester< day which are settled follow: Republicans—Senator Hiram John= son, California, re-elected for six-year term; in Connecticut, Frederic C.
