NEW RECORD VOTE GAST IN NEW YORK Polling Places in Jther Cities Also Are Reported Swamped. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—The heaviest voting in New York City's history was reported by some election commissioners making the rounds of polling places today. In some districts of Manhattan an estimated 20 per cent of the regis- tered vote had been cast at 11 am., five hours after the polls opened. Long Lines of Voters. Long lines of men and women wait- ing their turns at the voting machines edged through the polling places. All indications pointed to the heav- fest vote in the city’s history under its greatest registration—2,899,123, or 560,319 more than the 1932 registra- tion. The total vote four years ago aggregated 2,161,797, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Farley had to wait in line for more than half an hour to cast their ballots. The Dem- ocratic campaign manager and his wife spent less than a minute in the voting booth. Disorders Few. Before noon several dozen arrests had been made on charges of illegal registration. Disorders, however, were few. Only one fist fight had come to the attention of police. Poll watchers numbered thousands. Several instances of trouble with the automatic voting machines were re- ported, but the emergency was met with mechanics or the installation of new machines.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 3 (#). —Ohio’s electorate swamped polling places in record numbers today. Rain, snow flurries and colder weath- er had no apparent effect on what George Neffner, State election expert, predicted would be the largest election in Ohio’s history. “The weather seems to be encour- aging activity,” said Neffner, who esti- mated 2,800,000 would cast ballots before the 8,600 polling districts close at 6:30 pm. (E. S. T.). The record vote is 2,644,501, cast in the 1932 presidential election. Early voting in Cleveland indicated that 455,000 to 460,000 persons would declare their choice of officials from President to county coroner. This was expected to be about 80,000 more than in 1932. During the first three hours in Cin- cinnati about a fifth of the 267,000 registered voters had marked their ballots. Franklin County (Columbus) elec- tion board officials estimated that 45,000 persons had visited the polls by 10 am. (Eastern standard time). They anticipated a total vote of 160,- 000. The record is 132,000, set in 1932. Heavy turnouts at Toledo and Akron indicated that persons voting in each of these cities would number 125,000. About one-sixth of Dayton’s 90,000 registered voters had taken ad- vantage of their citizenship rights at 10 am.

THE EVENING STAR, COLLADAY PREDICTS REPUBLICAN VICTORY Large Majority for Landon and Gains in Congress Forecast. Edward F. Colladay, Republican national committeeman for the Dis- trict, last night predicted a decisive G. O. P. victory at the polls today. “Gov. Landon will win by & large majority,” Colladay said. “I believe we will have a very successful elec~ tion.” Colladay pointed out there are s number of factors in this election the strength of which cannot be gauged by experience, and which could swing the decision one way or the other. He added, however, that the trend to Lan- don on the basic issues of “constitu- tional government, excessive public debt, waste, civil service and freedom of business, was so accentuated by dis- closure of the true effect of the social security plan as an income tax on wage earners that I believe it will as- sure success of the Republican ticket.” A substantial increase in the Re- publican membership in the House and 2 gain of from four to six seats by the © ESTABLISHED 1865 ® ELECTED ! ! !
