FARLEY MAY QUIT CABINET; HAMILTON LAST TO CONCEDE DEMOCRATIC CHIEF FAGER 70 RETIRE Refuses to Discuss Possi- bility of Running for Governorship. BY the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 4. —The re- election of President Roosevelt, which placed James A. Farley at the peak of his political prestige, may shortly be followed by the permanent retirement of the Democratic chairman from the Roosevelt cabinet. Farley, who was given a leave of absence as Postmaster General last August to devote his full time to the campaign, desires to return to the ac- tive direction of his building supply business. However, it is known he will retain his chairmanship of the National Committee and, in all likelihood, the chairmanship of the New York State Committee. Whether or not he would return to the Postmaster Generalship for the| remainder of Mr. Roosevelt's first | term was not known. Mum on Governorship. The chairman has maintained a silence on all of the speculation as to whether he would seek the governor- ship of New York two years hence.| At a press conference Monday one of | the newspaper men said to him: “Well, General, you say the re-elec- tion of the President is all in the bag, 50 there’s no need to talk about that. Now how about all this talk that you're going to run for Governor in 1938?" The tall, bald-headed chairman smiled and, characteristically out of the corner of his mouth, replied: “We won't go into that now.” According to his friends—his closest {friends, for “Jim” probably calls more people by their first name than any one else in political life—the desire closest to his heart is to be Governor. If he decides to seek the governorship he maintains a commanding position in retaining his party chairmanships. Started as Town Clerk. Farley, who began his political career as town clerk of Stony Point, in Rockland County, up the Hudson River, was secretary of the State com- mittee from 1928 to 1930 and has been chairman since 1930, After the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt in '32 he became chairman of the national committee. A staunch supporter of Alfred E. Bmith before and throughout the 28 campaign, Farley was one of the earliest advocates of Mr. Roosevelt's nomination, beginning his activities in the President's behalf as early as | 1930. In leaving the cabinet Farlev would not leave the circle of presidential advisers. As the national chairman he would continue to be the party's political man in the administration. Un.ity (Continued From First Page.) have indicated the reports were true. "This is one of the important ques- tibns the ‘hief Executive undoubtedly will ponder once he begins his long- planned vacation. He also has his annual message to the Seventy-fifth Congress to consider and a score of | important appointments to make in tHe lower brackets of officialdom, such a4 a new controller general, under- sacretaries of State and the Treasury, and an Ambassador to Russia. JHarry H. Woodring of Kansas was named Secretary of War only tem-| porarily to succeed the late Georze‘ H, Dern. It is regarded as virtually tain this will be one of the cabinet offices to be changed.

"I can’t say anything official, but it looks as if we are going to have one of the largest sweeps ever heard of in the history of the United States,” He told the cheering townsfolk. . Wearing a blue suit with white pin ripes, he stood in a light rain on front porch with his mother and wife and children as the crowd gave “three cheers” and the band played the 1932 campaign song, “Happy Days Are Here Again” | “Four more happy years with | Roosevelt,” came a voice among the €rowd on the broad lawn. * “Thanks,” the President said with & broad smile, adding: “I'm awfully glad Hyde Park got here ahead of Poughkeepsie. But Poughkeepsie is on the way and I believe we will carry it.” Latest returns showed he had car- etied the normally Republican town of Poughkeepsie and his own district in Hyde Park Village, but had lost his home township. Sixth Election Party. “This is the sixth election day party down here,” he said, “enumerating them from 1910 to 1936. “And again in 1940,” shouted a man in the crowd. Once when the smoke from red and ‘white flares got too thick around his head, Mr. Roosevelt remarked he was “swallowing a lot of red fire” and the “next President” probably would start off with a cough. “I hope the next four years, the ‘worst part of the emergency being over,” he said, “I'll be able to spend a little more time in Hyde Park.” He then turned as the crowd cheered, and walked back to the din- ing room table where he had been ! tl ® < telephone report.

RICHMOND, November 4.—Presi- dent Roosevelt’s majority reached the unprecedented total of 113,636 votes— approximately 19,000~ greater than in 1932—when returns had been tabu- lated from 1,638 of Virginia's 1,704 election precincts today. The Roosevelt total constantly | mounted as the vote from the smail | rural precincts were received, while the total vote for the State—324,126 | for the major parties alone—was nearly 20,000 greater than the record votp of 305,364 cast in the 1928 elec- tion, when Virginia voted Republican for the first time since reconstruction. With returns tabulated from 1,638 precincts, the vote was: Roosevelt, 228,881 to Gov. Alf M. Landon's 95245. Landon's vote itself was almost 6,000 greater than that given President Hoover in 1932. The list of counties carried by the Republicans dropped from 9 to 8 when late returns gave Roosevelt a majority of 96 votes out of more than 2,000 cast in Scott, traditional Re- publican stronghold in the “fighting ninth” district. One small precinct missing was not sufficient to change the vote. Floyd County kept its record of be- checking returns since shortly after 6 p.m. Newspaper men, photographers and other callers were invited inside and filed by to shake the President’s hand.

BACKGROUND— Since beginning of Spanish civil war last July, foreign nations have watched developments closely, see- ing in struggle significance to all Europe. The rebellion was degun by troops who opposed the extreme regime of the Socialist-Communist Azana and his coalition of Leftist. The revolters were “conservatives,” now called Fascists. They made gains immediately, the war spread- ing along Mediterranean coast, up to Fremch border, across southern area. The rebel troops of Gen. Frgnco finally came, several weeks ago, to Madrid, last government stronghold, and have been mapping plans for the capture of capital city.

Artillery fire on the battlefronts, a few miles to the south and west, echoed in the city streets. The cabinet change involves the entry into the administration of Pre- mier Prancisco Largo Caballero of four Syndicalists, one Ezquerra, or pro- vincial autonomist, and one Left Re- publican. Defeat-wearled spirits momentarily soared by news of the counter at- tack. A Socilist victory on the Torrejon-Sesena front, it was pointed out, might force the insurgents ham- mering at the gates of Madrid to withdraw from the capital area and rush troops to the new “danger point.” The Socialist attack, emanating from Aranjuez, 28 miles southwest of Madrid, was reported heavily sup- ported by tanks and was aimed at harassing the Madrid-bound Fascist troops from the rear.

BALTIMORE, November 4.—A tide of votes comparable to the landslide of 1932 assured Maryland’s six Demo- | cratic incumbent Representatives of | retaining their seats in Congress today. | Only two of the Congressmen failed to equal or better their 1932 majorities. | The Baltimore city Representatives virtually swept their districts. In the four other districts the Republican candidates carried only four counties, Carroll, Calvert, Charles and Garrett. | Of the six Representatives, David J. | Lewis of Cumberland alone ran into stiff opposition. As Lewis built up a | commanding lead, however, his Re- | publican opponent, State Senator | Harry W. Le Gore of Frederick Coun- ty, conceded the election. Goldsborough Wins Easily. Lewis' victory in the sixth district completed the rout of the Republican ‘ candidates. In the five other districts | the result was not long in doubt. The Democratic candidates, with returns incomplete, won majorities that com- pared favorably with the 1932 vote. In the first district Representative T. Alan Goldsborough, dean of the | Maryland delegation in point of con- | tinuous service, easily defeated his Re- | publican opponent, State Senator O. | Straughn Lloyd and even carried Lloyd’s home county of Wicomico. | With returns in from 169 of the 186 | polling places in the district, Golds- | borough held a lead of 11,000 over | Lloyd. This was less than his 1932 majority of 18,000. Goldsborough com- manded every county in the district. In the second district, 374 of 420 polling places gave Representative William P.

This was the same as Palmisano’s 1932 majority. - Representative Ambrose J. Kennedy did not enjoy such a sweep in his fourth district race against Daniel C.

The fifth district race, with 163 of 198 polling places reported, saw Repre- | sentative Stephen W. Gambrill leading Roscoe C. Rowe, Rcpublican State's attorney of Anne Arundel County, by | 17,000 votes, 2,000 more than his lead in 1932. Gambrill lost only Charles and Calvert Counties. Representative Lewis, who won in 1932 by & majority of only 1,400 votes, held a lead of 7.500 votes over Le Gore, with 165 of 257 polling places reported.

Less than three hours after the husky Kansan told members of the party they could “go to bed as Re- publicans with the assurance that to- morrow will see different tabulations,” he issued his “closing statement of the 1936 campaign.” Hamilton was obviously tired and worn from his slashing five months’ campaign to elect Gov.

He said on his return he had been in half a dozen States where the Republican national chairman had never set foot. His intensive activities, including many sallies by plane, to bolster the cause, drew some criticism, but Hamil- ton shrugged it off his broad shoulders and kept on. Made Numerous Speeches. He made numerous speeches as he shuttled back and forth across the country, and in the closing days of the campaign made a fine sortie into New York and New England. On election day he secluded him- self in his twentieth-floor temporary home, but in his few appearances he was still the smiling, sharp-witted fighter who waged a battle unprece~ dented in the annals of national chairmen.
