Special Dispatch to The Star. MANASSAS, Va., November 1.—With the general election but two days off, the Prince Willlam County Democratic Committee and leaders of the small Re- publican group are bestirring themselves in an effort to get out a normal vote on Tuesday. The result of the vote in Prince Wil- liam, one of the few counties in Virginia which remained in the Demooratic col- umn in the presidential election, is con- ceded. Just how big a majority may be rolled up for Senator Carter Glass over his opponent, Claude M. Byars, and for former Judge Howard W. Smi candidate for the House of Representa. tives, over his Republican opponent, Dr. F. M. Brooks of Fairfax, depends upon whether or not party leaders are suc- cessful in getting voters out of their apathetic attitude by election day. Republican leaders, whose hopes soared following the presidential elec- tion, only to have them shattered when Prince Willlam handed Gov. Pollard an overwhelming majority over his Repub- lican-anti-Smith opponent, Dr. Willlam Mosely Brown, see no ray of hope in Tuesday’s election in so far as Prince William County is concerned. Estimates of the Democratic Com- mittee today are that a total of 2,001 votes will be cast in Prince Willlam County on Tuesday, and out of this total they predict a vote of approxi- mately 1,600 for the Democratic candi« dates. Whether s0 large a number can brought out to vote, however, is problematical. 30 HURT AT GAME CHICAGO, November 1 (#).—Thirty persons were injured and hundreds im- riled today when a grandstand cole apsed at Celtic Field during a foot ball game between Calumet and Fen- ger High Schools.
