A—12 =» RODSEVELT VISIT TOPARLEY HINTED President May Address Buenos Aires Conference, Observers Say. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN, ‘The possibility that President Roose- velt might stop off at Buenos Aires to address the Pan-American Con- ference when he takes his deep-sea fishing trip soon after the election was being discussed among diplomats here today. ‘The U. S. S. Indianapolis, a 10,000~ ton cruiser used by the President in the past, has been ordered by the Navy Department to be ready to take the President and a small party to sea at short notice. ‘The voyage is creating a good deal of speculation in Washington diplo- matic quarters, where it is being de- scribed as a “diplomatic fishing trip.” The final destination is being kept | for the time being confidential by the | President’s aides. At the White | House it is admitted that Mr. Roose- | velt wants to take a good rest after | the strenuous election campaign, but where he will go is still officially un- known. However, speculation is rife among | the Washington diplomats that the | Indianapolis will cruise along the South American coast and that Mr. | Roosevelt will find time to land at | b Buenos Aires to address conference. On the other hand, there is also a | possibility that the President might | cruise in the North Atlantic, where he might meet accidentally some of Europe’s leaders and talk over the possibility of reviving the limitation of arms conference which linked with | an economic conference would, accord- | ing to European diplomats, relieve the | present tense situation on that con- tinent. It is said in certain diplomatic | quarters that the Indianapolis might £0 as far as the Azores Islands, where diplomatic deep-sea fishing might prove more fruitful than in the South Atlantic.

It is estimated 75000 voters would g0 to the polls in Montgomery, Prince Georges, Fairfax and Arlington Coun- ties, the city of Alexandria and other nearby sectors, with many Govern- ment workers who reside in those communities taking part in the pro- ceedings. Officials at the Weather Bureau re- ported this morning that showers would fall over the entire area later in the day, but early efforts of the £un to break through the overcast skies held a cheering note for the vot- ers and party workers. Complete returns from the heavy vote being cast probably will not be available until after midnight. Many of the polls, however, are expected to finish their tally soon after the voting booths are closed about dusk. Residents of the two States, in addi- tion to voting for the presidential candidates, are selecting a number of congressional representatives. Watch Delegate Race. Leaders In Prince Georges County were watching the balloting there with particular interest, since the race to fill the vacancy caused by the res- ignation of Egbert F. Tingley, Hyatts- ville postmaster, from the Maryland + House of Delegates is significant as an indication of how the balloting may run in the State and county election in 1938. Ralph W. Powers of Calvert Hills is carrying the Democratic banner in the fight for the legislative post, while the G. O. P. standard is being borne by Sherman Hollingsworth of Hyatts- ville. Both candidates have staged an active campaign, but the presidential and congressional contests have over= shadowed their duel. In Montgomery County, where Re- publican leaders were predicting vic- tory despite a registered Democratic majority of approximately 12,000, the vote was unusually heavy in the sub- urban area immediately north of Washington, with a comparatively good turnout in the more rural areas. The voters there were to decide be- tween Representative David J. Lewis, Democrat; State Senator Harry W. Le Gore, Republican, and Merle Boyer, Socialist, for Congress, and express their sentiments for three proposed amendments to the State constitution, besides casting their ballots in the presidential fight. Leaders Confident. Heads of both major parties were freely predicting a triumph in Mont- gomery, with State Senator Stedman Prescott, the Demoeratic chieftain, voicing & belief his party would carry the county by upward of 3,000 votes majority and Republican officials look~ ing for a majority upward of 4,000. Political observers in Prince Georges County, where the Republicans face a Democratic registration majority of more than 7,000, were looking for a Democratic victory as some 30,000 voters filed to the polls. G. O. P. leaders, however, pointing for the Maryland general election two years hence, were confident they could reduce the 1932 Democratic presiden- tial margin from 5,000 to 2,000. In the last two years the Democrats have Increased their registration majority by 2,636 and the Republicans by 438. Gambrill Faces Rowe, ‘The congressional incumbent from the fifth district, which embraces Prince Georges County, is Representa- tive Stephen W. Gambrill of Howard County, a Democrat. - Opposing him is Roscoe Rowe of Anmapolis, State's sttorney for Anne Arundel County. Dr. Thomas E. Latimer of Hyat 1lle, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee for Prince Georges, has declared that “Republican pros- pects in the county are the best in years.” In campaigning for votes to ‘The onl; with cough droj ed he throat-soothing ts of Vigks VapoRub. send Hollingsworth to the State Leg- islature G. O. P. leaders have repeat- edly emphasized the necessity of “breaking up the solidly Democratic delegation” at Annapolis. They have declared that Hollingsworth could work with Gov. Nice, another Republican, “to benefit the county.” M. Hampton Magruder of Upper Marlboro, collector of internal reve- nue for Maryland and a leader of the county Democrats, rredicted his party would not only sweep Prince Georges, but would also be victorious “by a large margin” throughout the State. Lansdale G. Sasscer, presidént of the State Senate and Upper Marlboro attorney, was equally optimistic con- cerning Democratic results. Sasscer, however, recently predicted a reduc- tion in the 1932 party majority in Prince Georges from 5,000 to about 2,500. He pointed out that many voters were dissatisfied with the Re- settlement Administration’s low-rent housing project at Berwyn. Polls Close at 7 P.M. Polls will close at 7 p.m. after 12 hours’ balloting. Thirty-four polling places are spread throughout the county. Although they were marking the new Virginia affirmative ballot for the first time and were handling a 30-inch sheet containing 77 names, the voters of that State were ex- periencing little difficulty with the The Best GRAY HAIR REMEDY IS MADE AT HOME You can now make at home a better gray haie remedy than you can buy, by following this simple half pint of water add one ounce x of Barbo Compound and Any druggist ou can mix it yourself at bRy to the haie twice & week d shade Is obtained. ‘Barbo imparta color to streaked. faded or gray hair, makes it scit and glossy and takes years off your looks.

Indications of the early voting trend were pro-Roosevelt in the nearby area, although Arlington County’s results are expected to be as close as in 1932, when President Roosevelt won by 479 votes. Wind Up Campaign. Stimulated by active campaigns, Alexandria's voters are expected to mark 5,000 ballots, Arlington County's voters 7,000 and Fairfax County's voters 4,500, Alexandria Democratic forces wound up their campaign last night with & noisy automobile torchlight parade that went through every section of the city, with horns and sirens of sev- eral hundred cars sounding. In addition to presidential candi- dates, nearby Virginia voters today are casting ballots for a United States Senator and a Member of the House of Representatives. Carter Glass, vet- eran Virginia Democratic Senator, is being opposed by George Rohlsen and Donald Burke, Communist. Repre- sentative Howard W. Smith, Democrat, is being npposed for re-election by John Locke Green of Arlington, Re- publican, and F. A. Shelton, Prohi- bitionist. gy Africa has become the best market for Japan's enameled wares.
