New York, Nov. 1.—With the open- ing of the polls less than 24 hours away, both gepublican and democratic headquarters early today took up the stride which will carry them in the final scene of the presidential contest tomorrow either to victory or defeat. Both major parties began their last day of compaigning by reasserting confidence in the election of their candidates. “Cox and Roosevelt will win” de- clared George White, democratic na- tional chairman. Will H. Hays, leader of the repub- lican forces, translated his expecta- tions into figures expressing the con- viction that Harding will have no less than 368—probably 395 — electoral votes out of the possible 531. The number required to etect is 266. Interest in the last day of the great fight centers in the final desperate at- tempt to bring over the “doubtful” states ith large electoral votes to de- liver or to save United States sena- tors in other doubtful states where the electoral vote is not large enough to be indispensible. The salient example of states in the first category is Ohio, home state of the two principal candi- dates, with 24 votes, while the out- standing case of the second class is Nevada wih only three. Other states where the eleventh hour contest is intense, with both par- ties sanguine of success, are Arizona, Kentucky. Maryland, New Mexico, Ten nessee, North Carolina and Oklahoma. All these as well as the buckeye state are claimed by both republicans and democrats. \ Second only in interest to the out- come of the voting is thé subject “what will the women do?” Leaders | of both major parties disclaim pos- session of advance infformation on what is to be expected of the new class of voters exercising their franchise in all the states for the first time. Speculation in ordinarily well in- formed political circles centers about the numerical proportion of .women who will vote tomorrow in comparison vote mection distribution of this Weomal's vote, and the possibili- ty, of its being as a whole independent enough to overturn tables of election probabilities compiled over period of vears in I a (Continued on Tenth Page). TAKE YOUR CHOICE In Onec Paragraph You Can Reag What Hays Says — In the Other White’s Ideas, ! New York, Nov. 1.-—Will H. Hars, chairman of the republican national | committee, reiterated today that the republican ticket “was certain to ob- tain 368 electoral votes” in tomorrow's | election and that there was a strong ' possibility of the total reaching close to the 400 mark. Mr. Hays d@id not issue a formal statement resting on his declaration/ of last night “‘that the evidence of an overwhelming republican victory hour- ! 1y increases.” New York, Nov. 1.—Victory for the democratic presidential candidate will | mean that “militariem goes to Jail forever” and that republican success | will mean that “militarism is free to murder and pillage again” George White, chairman of the democratic national committee deciared today in’ a final campaign statement. He assert- {ed the democrats “have fought an| | absolutely clean fight.” | | RAINS ARE PRED/CTED — Weather Bureau Warns of Storms in i Atlantic States, Which Will Spead | to Other Sectons | ‘Washingtan, Nov. 1.—Rains on election day in the Atlantic states, the upper Ohio valley and the region of the Great Lakes with some probi- bility of snow in northern Michigan, | Wisconsin and Minnesota were fore- cast today by the weather bureau.

He was met at the Berlin station by Walenty Lech, representing the Polish BusinessMen's association, and Joseph Puskarz, pres- dent of Kosciusko Post, representing that society and others. A beautifully decorated automobile hurried the party to New Britain where an en- thusiastic demanstration took place at the Kosciusko Post headquarters. There were present very many dele- gates representing various Polish so- cieties in this city. An welcome was delivered by Boleslaw Kerpinski. Dr. Hupert responded briefly but feelingly, expressing great pleasure in returning home again. ‘DR.

Hamilton Lewis for Chicago, Nov. 1.—Claims and counter claims with flashes of old time political enthusiasm marked the conclusion of the campaign in the state of the central west today. - It was stated on all sides that the woman vote together with expected ticket scratching in numerous districts very likely would delay returns and create uncertainty where contests were close. Reports from various staies indi- cated that in practically all districts unusual steps have been taken ta guard against fraud to curb quickly any attempts to intimidate woman voters. Last minute appeals "3 voters were made by managers of the gubernator- ial candidates in Illinois where a cam- paign of a bitter turn hus been in progress. I will be elected by a vote in excess of 50000,” said former Sen- ator James Hamilton Lewis, demo- cratic candidate for gaveraor.

New York Nov. 1—Five preparatory school students and a young woman friend were injured when their auto- mobile crashed into a tree near Hun- ter’s Island bridge in Pelham Bay park early today. The party was bound from New Haven to New York on the New Rochelle road, and Philip Morgan Plant was driving the car. The injured: Philip M. Plant, frac- tured right leg and lacerations of the face; Miss Helen Jasman, 19, New York jaw fracturcfi and lacerations; Norman L. Hussey, 18, Norwalk, Conn. contusions of the back; Chester Moorehead, 20, Chicago, fractured nose and lacerated right eye; David Calhoun of St. Louis and Edward Her- shey of St.. Paul were shaken up. The young men all are pupils at a Yale preparatory school at Norwalk. Yes- terday they went to New Haven to spend the day and were returning to New York with Miss Jasman said to be visiting here from Seattle. Clarence E. Tavlor was a graduat of the New Britain High school an was a member of the local chapter of the Alpha Delta Sigma fraternity. He was the sor of Mr. and Mrs. Jason Taylor of Keasington. and a brothar of Mrs. John F'sunery formerly Miss Mildred Tavlor of this city. There are two stories told as to how the automobile swerved to the side of the road and the occupant killed. Howard Curtiss who escaped unhurt told Jason Taylor, father of the dead man, that the cap over the light on the dashboard fell off and threw the rays of light into the eyes of the driver. Young Tayor bent to pick up the cap to replace it and in so doing lost control of the car. An expert from Hartford was put on the case and he reports that for a stretch of 20 feet there is a gouge made by the broken rim of the rear wheel. In examining the auto he found the rim on the rear wheel broken and lays the blame of the ac- cident onto this. Mr. Taylor sm’fld this morning he was of the opinion that the bulb was uncovered and his son lost control of the car from the glare of the lights. After the car swerved to the side of the road, the front mud guurd was jammed under a fence rail. This sent the rail through the windshield and pierced Tayor, the driver, in the chest. It cut the main artery and he died before medical aid coul be se- cured. The rail then struck Joseph Guppy under the chin. He also died before aid was possible. There is* practically no damage done to the car with the exception of the broken mudguard and wind- shield. The funeral will be held from his home in Meriden tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 o'clock and from the Stocking cemetery in Kensington at 3:30. Fraternally he was a member of the Royal Arcanum as well as the Masons. He is survived by his wife and one child, 11 years old, his father and mother %ind sister. 12 Diphtheria Carriers Found in School Room The health department has found four positive cases of diphtheria and eight diphtheria carriers in one of the school rooms of a public school build- ing in the eastern section of the city. The positive cases are now under quarantine and the ecarriers will be placed in quarantine shortly. thorough inspection of all the, chn- dren’s throats through the scho® will will be made in an effort to unfover any other possible carriers. The cases quarantined today bring the total in the city to 29.
