‘RIGHT-HAND MAN OF FARLEY SAIS Emil Hurja, Who Conducted Secret Poll, Will Visit Parents in Finland. BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 5.—The backstage organizer of the mass of hitherto unreached voters who swept President Roosevelt to victory sailed yesterday for a rest in Europe—and some literary work on his own in Russia. The half-million “committees of one’—an entirely new army of elec- tion workers—were the “brain chil- dren” of Emil Hurja, who is bound for England on the Queen Mary. He turned out 52,000,000 pieces of public- ity in that unusual drive alone, edited “The Roosevelt Record” and handled the publicity of the thousands of small newspapers. Hurja held no title but was vaguely known “on the inside” as Chairman James Farley’s ‘“right-hand man.” Hurja's big job since April 1, 1934, has been the conducting of a secret scientific straw vote which was the official guide to directors of the Roose- velt campaign. Gave Roosevelt 364. ‘The day before the election Hurja showed a few friends a copy of the final results of his work, listing the percentage of votes Mr. Roosevelt was *“absolutely sure of’ in each State, probable total votes and the trends, upward, downward or erratic. It was & “pessimist's” poll, giving Mr. Roose- velt victory by 364 “sure” votes to 167 for Landon. ‘This private poll, costing over $25.- 000, aimed to prevent overconfidence and to show the party exact counties and towns where work was needed. For Farley's ear alone Hurja was more optimistic. “The tip-offs on the great under- current for Roosevelt which no poll could reach,” said Hurja, “were first, Gov. Talmadge’s defeat in Georgia; second, Senator Harrison's victory over the Long machine in Mississippi, and third, Senator Robinson's pri- mary vote in Arkansas.” Makes Accurate Predictions. In the Roosevelt “‘sure” column he put such supposedly doubtful States as New York, Ohio, North Dakota, Nebraska, West Virginia, Iowa, Min- nesota and Colorado. He allowed Gov. Landon, in his or- der of probability, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Dela- ware, Rhode Island, Connecticut, qlinois, Michigan, Kansas, New Jer- sey, Indiana and Pennsylvania. Hurja is looking forward to visiting the home of his parents in Finland.
