A—O %k FOUL IS CLAIMED IN BABY DERBY Mrs. Kenny’s Counsel Pro- tests as 12 Entries Shrirk to Nine on “Technicality.” By the Assoclated Press. TORONTO, October 27.—Mrs. Lily Kenny fell from her pedestal as Toronto's ace childbearer today. The dozen children she claims to have borne in the last 10 years shrank to nine as a search of the official records was made and the cry went up from the Kenny camp: “We've been robbed!” Her counsel, 1. E. Weldon, said: “Mrs. Kenny has lost out as sole winner of the Millar mothers’ mara- thon on a foul. She has had more children than any other Toronto woman, but now she’s dropped back into a tie with other mothers on a pure technicality.” The “technicality” was a ruling by the provincial registrar-general that no belated registrations will be ac- cepted from Millar contest entries. This bars the registration of two chil- dren Mrs. Kenny says were born to her in 1930 and 1931. Will Depend on Courts. Mrs. Kenny's lawyer said he would depend upon the courts to decide on the merits of her claims. The development failed to shake Mrs. Kenny's confidence. She went right on planning to spend the $500,- 000 she feels sure she’ll get. Her latest idea is to start & new baby derby. For this she would ap- propriate about $100,000 of the Millar money. The Kenny kiddies kontest, or| whatever it might be called, would | not interfere with her plans for building a big mausoleum in memory of Charles Vance Millar, who started the baby race business when he died 10 years ago. Millar lies buried be- neath a modest stone monument in the little cemetery at Aylmer, Ontario. The top ranking mothers found the contest more of a free-for-all today than ever. The best gucss was that the winner or winners might finally be found to have mo more than nine qualified babies. Three mothers have consist- ently claimed 10, but checks at the Bureau of Vital Statistics, specified in the Millar will as the determining authority, do not bear them out. Lincoln (Continued Prom Pirst Page.) voters who have not benefited from this Federal money. The N.R.A. was not popular for long in the Bay State and this distaste for the New Deal manifested itself nearly two years ago, Many New Englanders, thrifty by na- ture, are appalled at the Government spending, and the Government debt. 1t is said that Roosevelt stock took an upward movement in Massachu- setts recently, especially since Roose- velt's campaign trip here, But that 15 largely surmise. The Roosevelt fortunes in Massa- chusetts have in a measure been bound up with those of Gov. “Jim” Curley—the most dynamic Democratic figure in the State, and at present one of the most disliked. Indeed, Curley, who two years ago stood at the top of the political heap in this State, is now characterized as a distinct lia- bility for Roosevelt. The Governor is running for United States Senator with the Democratic nomination. He has a veritable army of Democratic enemies, who seem bent on pulling the Governor down. Judging from all ac- counts, they mean business. When the President came into the State a week ago he failed to mention the State ticket at all. His failure was inter- preted as an effort to disassociate himself from the Curley campaign as far as possible, and so relieve himself of that liability. His son, James Roosevelt, is in the State handling the President’s campaign, and James Roosevelt is not speaking of Curley— not any more than he can help, that is Declined Poland Post. Curley was an original Roosevelt man in the Bay State. He put a Roosevelt slate of delegates in the field in 1932 and tried to have them sent to Chicago. He failed in that because of the strong Al Smith senti- ment among Massachusetts Demo- crats in those days. After Roosevelt was nominated, Curley worked hard for him and contributed a lot of his own money to the campaign. Buf Curley has never been a fair-haired boy at the White House. He wanted an important diplomatic post or a cabinet job. He was offered the am- bassadorship to Poland and turned it down. He remained at home to run for Governor. He was elected in the Democratic sweep af 1934 by 109,000 votes over his Republican opponent, Bacon. This was a far larger plurality than that given Roosevelt in 1932, The President carried Massachusetts that year with a lead of 64,000. Curley has carried things with a high hand as Governor. The State has soured on him. His enemies are legion. He pushed Senator Marcus A. Coolidge aside to take the sena- torial nomination this year. He has running against him Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican, a grandson of the late Senator Lodge, and also Thomas C. O’Brien, the nominee for the Sen- ate of the Union Party and also that party’s nominee for Vice President. Curley spent a week calling Father Coughlin on the long distance tele- phone, urging him to get O'Brien out of the senatorial race. But Coughlin was adamant. O'Brien is expected to get perhaps 100,000 votes, taking them away almost entirely from Curley. Another Democrat, Mayor Greenwood of Fitchburg, ran against Curley in the senatorial primary, and had 104,- 000 votes, all of them anti-Curley Democrats. It looks as though Lodge would win the Senate fight hands down. If he does a lot of Democrats will throw their hats in the air. Curley is still campaigning vigorously for Roosevelt, whom he terms the greatest humani- tarian in American history. Curley introduced the President at the huge meeting on Boston Common. But it does not appear that even a Roosevelt victory would pull Curley through. Organization Best Yet. The Democrats have a better and bigger State-wide organization this year than ever before. They are counting greatly on this organization to' get the voters to the polls and ascribe to its activities the greatly increased registration. However, all this new registration is not Demo- cratic. There has been a greatly in- creased registration in the towns and the rural communities which are strongly Republican. Purthermore, the Republicans have built themselves an organization that is combing all sections of the State. ~"l'hp G- 0. P. Locomotive a heavily the track on a curve. locomotive on its side. mous violinist, here last night. is more united and has better leader- ship this year than it has had for a long time. As an indication of the discord in the Democratic ranks, even among those who are supporting the Presi- dent, at the recent “victory dinner” in the Copley-Plaza Hotel, Gov. Curley took a swing at Joseph A. Maynard, | the Democratic collector of the port of Boston. He did not land and the | fisticuffs ended when a policeman and the Governor's daughter stepped in between. At the same dinner James Roosevelt referred to Senator David I. Walsh—no friend of Curley's—as the “one leader of our party in this commonwealth,” and never mentioned | Curley. Walsh, by the way, is going along with Roosevelt in this cam- paign although he has been antagon- istic to the New Deal in many in- stances. He is bent on maintaining his Democratic regularity. A prominent Democrat who is sup- porting Roosevelt told me that many of his Democratic friends of long standing have come to him and said they would not vote for Roosevelt— and more of them have expressed their determination not to vote for Curley. And so0 it goes. Many Follow Smith Lead. Al Smith still has a great number of friends in the Bay State, conserva- tive Democrats. The fact that Smith has come out flatly for Landon and against the New Deal and is actively campaigning for the Republican ticket is stiffening their determina- tion also to vote for Landon. Smith carried Massachugetts in 1928 in the midst of a Republican landslide throughout the Nation. His lead over Hoover that year was 17,000 votes. At the same time, former Gov. Ely, Democrat, “was elected. Ely, like Smith, this year is campaigning for Landon and against the New Deal President. And four years ago Smith and Ely were campaigning for Roose- velt. The chances for Roosevelt this year, | 50 far as Massachusetts is concerned, | lie in the increased registration in Boston and other Democratic cities, | and In the appeal which Roosevelt | makes because of the great Govern- ment spending in the State. The in- | creased registration may be part and | parcel of the spending program. A brisk battle is being waged over | the governorship. The Democrats | are hopeful they will elect Charles F. | Hurley, at present State treasurer, to | the gubernatorial office. The Repub- | licans have nominated a former State treasurer, John W. Haigis. It looks to be a close race. Hurley has been running his own campaign and is not particularly friendly with Curley. The governorship is likely to be decided by the success or failure of the presi- dential candidates. At present the Republicans have eight House members to seven for the Democrats. It ‘is expected that the | Republicans will win all the con- gressional districts they now hold, and that they will pick up two or three additional districts. They seem to have excellent chances to win in the second, third and ninth districts, which have been represented by Granflield, Casey and Russell, all Democrats. Among the Republicans | who seem destined to be re-elected to Congress is Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, who is exceedingly popular in her distriet. A victory for Lodge in the senatorial race will mean a Republican gain in the Upper House of Congress. Lodge is a State Representative, and is only 34 years old.

On the ceremonial side will be band concerts, formal guard mountings and battalion parades. K Neutrality “Safeguard” Seen. The “safest guardian of neutrality is the naval strength to maintain it,” N.
