'AND MONTGOMERY LEAVES ELECTIONS IN DOUBT WITH INCOMPLETE RETURNS One Republican Delegate Seems ‘Assured in Montgomery. HALF OF VOTE IS IN ‘Democratic Victory Indi- cated by but Very Slim Margin. Election returns from 15 of Mont- b me:{ County’s 24 preclnch elrly - - - - . wictory by an exertmely mm mlmn All morning the result of the elec- tion hung in doubt, with the tide of victory seemingly going first to the Democrats, then to the Republicans and at last, back in to the Demo- crats, ‘where political sharps figured it Democrats Take Lead. Pigures from the 15 reported precincts gave an average Democratic majority of about 120 votes. ‘The precincts yet to be heard from are Clerkesburg, the two Rockville precincts, Calesville, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Barnes:ille, the first Whenwn precinct, and the sixth Whea- fon precinct. ¢ Pigures of D:mocratic- polmclnm give the Republicans 150 majority in both the sixth Wheaton precinct, which in- cludes a portlon of Takoma Park, and in Rockville. l’lln-st this they say that Clarksburg wil glve a_Democratic ‘majority of 100, Colesville 300, Barnes- ville 25 and flnt ‘Wheaton 25, with Bethesda and Chevy Ohase a l'-lnd—ofl. ‘The State ticket, led by Gov. was running almost 100 votes behlml the Mam’nmery County candidates.

Lewis, Democratic candidate for the House of Representatives in the sixth Maryland congressional district, was running ahead of Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, the Republican fncumbent, by 551 votes, and Judge S. Newman of the sixth judicial circuit. who is a candidate to succeed himself, was 497 votes ahead of Arthur D. willard, his Republican opponent. One Republican candidate seemed " sure this afternoon of election. He is John . Newman of the sixth “eircuit, who is seeking election, ahead of Arthur D, Wil- Edmunds, his nearest Demo- | 50; Byars, cratic opponent. State’s Attorney Battle. One of the hardest fought battles for ‘eounty office, that for State's attorney, was resulting in a slight lead for the Democratic candidate, Stedman Pres- Lacy Shaw for county commissioner from the fifth district, and Preston B. Ray for clerk of the Circuit Court, whose personal following seemed sure of election. The entire Democratic State ticket was running behind the Republicans, and it appeared likely late this morning | B that they would lose Montgomery County. The contest for Montgomery County’s seat in the State Senate, al- ways & center of much interest, was going in faver of Robert G. Hilton, a |58 Democrat, by oniy 21 votes. Thomas M. Anderson, Republican candidate for the Senate, is but 28 years old, the gest man on the ticket. Walter W. g’c“:;son. who seems to be making the strongest Republican fight in the coun 1y, is but a year older. MONTGOMERY TEACHERS TAKE SCHOOL CENSUS! Children Up to 19 Years Old Being !

A strong Republican trend evident in the early returns in Prince Georges County was counteracted as the later districts sent in their results, leaving the issue in many eases still in doubt. Republican leads in the race for county commissionership and the House of Delegates were cut down and if was doubtful which party would control those bodies. Election to those posi- tions is often decided by a handful of votes in the county. ‘The race for judge of the Orphans’ Court also was a neck-and-neck affair. Representative Stephen W.

By » Staff Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 5.— 'Sweeping each of the 10 counties and Alexandria City, Judge Howard W. Smith, Democrat, of this city, was yes- terday elected to the House of Repre- sentatives from the eighth congressional district over Dr. F. M, Brooks, Repub- lican, of Fairfax County, and John M. Daniel, independent, of Stafford County, Judge Smith’s total vote was more than four times that of the two other can- didates, and marked the complete re- turn to the normal Democratic sway in this district which was upset when the State and this section went Re- publican in the 1928 election. Glass Easy Victor. Senator Carter Glass, incumbent, of Lynchburg, Va., also easily carried the district, but his majority over J. Cloyd Byars$, independent, of Arlington County, and Joe C. Morgan, Socialist, of Fair- fax County, was not as great as that of Smith. Glass’ total was about three | of .| times that of the other two candidates. Judge Smith succeeds the veteran Representative R. Walton Moore of Fairfax County, who was not a candi- date for re-election at this time. While his victory in the general election was comparatively easy and was never in doubt, he had to survive a hot five- cornered fight in the party for the nomination when the primary was held in_August. The completeness of Judge Smith's victory is seen in the fact that he car+ ried Arlington County, normally Re- publican, by a majority of almost 4-to-1, polling 2,282 votes to 636 for Dr. = Brooks. S mith also easily carried Fair- fax County, home of the Republican candidate, getting 1,742 votes in that section to 852 for Dr. Brooks. 10 to 1 in Alexandria. ‘This city, home of the candidate, gave him a majority of almost 10 to 1, with Smith getting 2,021 votes to 222 for Brooks and 15 for Daniel. Smith's home precinct, the fifth, here gave him 401 votes out of 440 couhted after 10 had been thrown out as incorrectly marked. Election Day Rainy. Election day was marked by inclem- ich held down the vote in outlying districts. The vote here, however, was 2,299, which was slightly 34. | greater 'than expected, many braving the rain and wind to cast a compli- mentdry vote for their fellow-towns- h. Arlington County cast a heavy vote, but this was hrg:- ly due to the county change of gov- e':n'lg:nt issue which brought the voters Fauquier County went almost 10 to1 for Judge Smith, the winning candidate g:tln( 1,030 votes to 105 1or Dr. Brooks. ince Willlam County gave Smith 917 and Brooks 91, while Loudoun Coun! totals showed Smith with 1,137 nnd Brooks with 261.
