Results Cause Surprise. One of the most surprising results in nearby Virginia was the Hoover-Curtis victory in Alexandria. Complete un- official returns from all four wards of that city were available today. They howed that Smith carried only one ward for President, and that the Re- publican presidential and vicz presi- dential nominees had won by a ma- Jority of 313 votes in the city. Alexandria in 1924 gave Davis, Dem- a vote twicz as large as the combined votes for President Coolidge and Senator La Follette, who was running as an inde- pendent candidate for President that ear. ? The day before the election this year the Democratic leaders of Alexandria were very confident of carrying it for Smith and Robinson, and the Repub- lican leaders hardly dared hope for the big turn-over which occurred yesterday. 1t is believed that the so-called religious question, with the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, had much to do with the big_switch. ‘When the Republicans decided not to put a candidate in the field against Repesentative Moore of the eighth Vir- ginia_ congressional district they be- lieved they were adopting a policy that would help them to carry the district or many parts of it for Hoover and Curtis. They hoped that many Demo- crats, who are favorable to Mr. Moore, v-ould b2 more inclined to vote for the Republican presidential ticket if they were not_antagonized by havii fight on_their hands to re-elect M It would seem, from the ul some parts of the district, at least, that this strategy was effective. Further- more, Mr. Moore is personally and po- litically popular with many Repub- licans of his district. STAFFORD COUNITY, VA.

HOOVER MARYLAND VOTE SETS RECORD Plurality to Reach 65,000, Greatest in History of State. BALTIMORE, November 7—With re- turns from only a few of the State's polling places still missing, Herbert Hoover's plurality over Gov. Smith will probably reach 65,000, the greatest gl‘umm.y any candidate on any ticket s ever received in Maryland. This; plurality beats by nearly 6,000 votes that obtained by Gov. Ritchie two years ago, which he]d the record in the State. In the landslide Hoover also carried along a Republican Senator and two congressional candidates, one taking the seat now held by a Democrat, Former Gov. Phillip Lee Golds- borough's plurality over Senator Wil- liam Cabell Bruce, the Democratic in- cumbent, will run close to 35,000, while Linwood Clark defeated Representative William P. Cole, jr, Democrat, from the second district, by a plurality of nearly 10,000, and Representative Fred- erick N. Zihlman is re-elected by a ma- Jority of 9,500 over his Democratic op- ponent, David J. Lewis. ‘The greatest upset in the State oc- curred in Baltimore City, which was carried by Hoover and Curtis by a plurality of 8,727 votes after Democratic leaders had predicted a majority of be- tween 40,000 and 60,000 for Smith. Senator Bruce carried the city by a plurality of 3,033, but was swamped in the counties by Gov. Goldsborough. The other Democratic congressional candidates for re-election won out, but by decreased majority in every instance, especially in the third district of Balti- more city, where Vincent Palmisano de- feated John Phillip Hill by a plurality of only 328 votes. Congressman T. Allan Goldsborough of the first district was re-elected by a majority of 884 votes, J. Charles Linthicum in the fourth district by a plurality of 7,394 votes, compared with a majority of 13,000 votes two years ago, and Stephen W. Gambrill.defeated Oliver Metzerott in the fifth district by a plurality of 2,776, which is about half the plurality he received two years ago over Thomas B. R. Mudd. The total vote cast in the State will run over 475,000, being the greatest number of ballots ever cast in the State in one election. Eighty-five per cent of those eligible to vote in Baltimore city went to the polls and cast their votes. The total registration here is 309,962 and 263,615 votes were cast.

Precincts Still Unreported. Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., November 7.— With 172 of the sixth congressional dis- trict's 209 precincts complete, Repre- sentative Frederick N.

Zihlman has 37,716 votes to Lewis’ 29,131, Zihlman made his poorest show- ing in Washington County, where the prohibition fight involving Rev. J.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT- HOUSE, Va., November 7.—With the heaviest vote in the history of the county marking the culmination of a bitter campaign, Hoover swamped Smiih for the presidency with 5,086 to 1,732 votes, leading in every precinct. Polls were jammed with a steady stream of voters. The totals do not show the complete vote, as nearly 1,000 ballots were cast out because of im- proper scratching, according to officials at Republican headquarters. Indications during the early after- noon that hundreds would be denied opportunity to vote because of the Vir- ginia law, which holds that a voter must have his ballot in hand at closing, were dissipated when election officials took effective steps to speed up the balloting. In Clarendon, where the congestion was seen at its worst, Claude Thomas, clerk of elections, took charge per- sonally of the booth in that town to make sure that all voters got through before the polls closed. In Del Ray precinct the addition of an extra clerk and two extra booths soon cleared up the crowds which had threatened to jam the polling place at closing time. The new registration regulations proved a factor which complicated the work of the election officials. this year registration books were used. and in scores of cases, lines were held up as long as 10 minutes while an election official sought the name of would-be voters in the lists. ‘The vote by precincts follows: Lyon Park, 8mith, 107, Hoover, 318; Ballstoh, 440; Falls Church, , 123; Carne, Smith, 234; Virginia High'lands, Smith, 375; Hoover 1,126; Glen Carlyn, i Hoover, 83; Cherrydale, Hoover, 433; Rosslyn, Smith, . 270; Del Ray, Smith, 222; Clerendon, Smith, 255; Arlington, Smith, 160, it Smith, 10: The license tag 100 is assigned to the car of the President of the United es.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 7.— Loyalty of Republicans in the small towns of Connecticut to their political faith turned back the city tide of Demo-. cratic votes for Gov. Alfred E. Smith yesterday, and gave the State’s seven electorial votes to Herbert Hoover. Hoover carried the State by a plural- ity of 44,041, in a total poll of 548,177, of which he had 279,619 and Smith 252,068. Democratic strength was largely in the cities, Smith carrying New Haven by 17,652, Hartford by 6,801, Waterbury by 5529 and Bridgeport by 3436, ail large towns. The rural vote swept aside the Democratic lead quickly. The entire Republican State ticket with the five Congressmen were carried through by margins close to that given for Mr. Hoover. Go. John H. Trumbull was re-elected by 43,662 plurality over Charles G. Morris. The vote was 295,~ 780 to 252,118. Frederick C. Walcott, president pro tempore of the 1927 Senate, was elected to fill the seat which United States Sen- ator George P. McLean will voluntarily relinquish next March. Representative John Q. Tilson, floor leader in the National House, was re- turned by a margin of 5,958. —— Where Carnegie Got Idea. When the remarkable museum in memory of Andrew Carnegie was opened recently near the humble cottage at Dumferline, Scotland, where he was born, one of the exhibits was pointed out as the genesis of his idea of es- tablishing libraries. It was a collec- tion of books of the late Col. Huderson of Pittsburgh, who, by lending Carnegie books to. read as a boy, is believed to have inspired in him a sense of the value of libraries, so that when he had become a millionaire he built them in all parts of the civilized world.

One of the magistrates inquired if they paid an amusement tax and the prisoners said they would b2 glad to operate un- der such a law.
